Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Finally, I can upgrade!

Li Zhi took out the original card and the intermediate copy card.

[The "Intermediate Copy Card" has been used to copy the "Li Zhi D-level Origin Card".]

The third Origin Card appears.

Li Zhi held his breath and gently stacked the three cards together.

Golden light shimmered, like scattered stars, gradually increasing in number.

The starlight swirled and coalesced, like a tiny golden tornado, gradually solidifying into a gold coin that floated in mid-air, swirling around the golden light and radiating light.

Li Zhi felt a powerful attraction that aroused a strong desire within her.

Like a traveler trapped in the desert, every cell in her body was screaming for water. Now that the oasis was right in front of her, there was nothing left in her sight or mind.

Li Zhi extended his hand.

The gold coin fell naturally into his palm, and at the same time, a dialog box popped up:

[Congratulations to the player who returned my 3-star, 5-cost character!!! Reached D2 level and gained 6 attribute points, which can be allocated as desired.]

Li Zhi activated his player attributes and began to think seriously.

Player Attributes:

Health: 15/15 (not enough for two pecks from a Rockbeak)

Spirit: 7/10 (Humanity's ceiling, the soles of all races)

Strength: 7 (pull)

Speed: 8 (Garbage)

Overall combat strength: 7.5 (If you get caught up in this, even the worms underground could swallow you whole.)

Spirit is closely related to D cards. In the early stages, whether it's stockpiling resources or doing business, increasing the number of D cards will bring greater benefits and a sense of security, so it's essential to invest points in it.

However, strength and speed cannot be completely ignored.

Li Zhi recalled the various races in the Wilderness Market and Black Iron Harbor. Although she did not know their specific attributes, she could tell from their size that she was definitely no match for them in terms of strength and health.

As for speed...

Can a human outrun a tiger or a wolf?

You can't outrun them on Earth, and you can't outrun them on the Apocalypse Continent either.

Moreover, Li Zhi is now more wary of humans than other races, especially those who have completed their novice period.

When the wooden houses turn into flying boats, and people may meet, Li Zhi speculates that some humans who cannot defeat other races will likely target their own kind in order to survive.

She added that she needed to consider not only future development, but also the realities of the short term.

Finally, Li Zhi decided to increase Spirit by 3, Speed ​​by 2, and Strength by 1.

Strengthen our strengths, but don't let our weaknesses become too weak and drag down our overall quality.

This is the most cost-effective solution she could come up with, considering her own circumstances and the current environment.

[Add points successfully]

Player Attributes:

Health: 18.9/18.9 (not enough for three pecks from a Rockbeak)

Spirit: 13/13 (Humanity's ceiling, the soles of all races)

Strength: 8 (Excellent human level, but still quite weak)

Speed: 10 (Human ceiling, all races' feet)

Overall combat strength: 9 (You're outdated; you're inferior to your armed human brethren. The worms underground could devour you in just two bites.)

How come the health bar has both whole and odd numbers?

Li Zhi calculated that the health points were the result of (strength + speed) * 1.05.

So, health is increased based on the points allocated to strength and speed?

From now on, we need to be more careful when allocating attribute points for strength and speed.

Li Zhi's gaze fell on the last sentence.

—Not as good as your armed human compatriots.

This dog game may speak harshly, but it never tells lies.

Therefore... there must be humans who entered the game with weapons.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

She was playing chess when she was pulled into the game, and she was holding a keyboard in her hand.

Don't get dragged into the game while you're pooping, with toilet paper in your hand.

So, border guards carrying guns, or, to take a more extreme approach, certain people from certain countries currently at war, might enter the game driving tanks or fighter jets.

But tanks and fighter jets shouldn't be considered part of their overall combat capability, right?

That's just too incredible!

And can the cabin even hold it all?

Li Zhi forcefully brought his wandering attention back.

Thinking about these things now is useless.

All she could do was upgrade the airship as soon as possible, taking precautions against potential dangers. As for those that couldn't be prevented, her professional skills could save her life.

Forget about the others' fighting prowess, Li Zhi jumped up and swung his fist to feel the difference in strength.

However, apart from feeling that she could jump higher, had more strength in her arms and legs, and was more agile, she couldn't tell exactly how much she had improved.

The speed is also difficult to test.

The room is too small and it's crammed with stuff.

There's hardly any room to put your feet down, let alone run back and forth a few times.

The confinement of the small room did not diminish Li Zhi's sense of accomplishment.

She gathered all the materials for the flying boat today.

I earned 102 gold coins.

The talent has been upgraded.

It was promoted from D1 to D2.

We have to celebrate!

She took out the snail rice noodles she had gotten that day, lit the stove, and set up the iron pot.

Then he took out cabbage, luncheon meat, fried tofu, mushrooms, wild fruits, and opened a bottle of cola.

Once the pot boils, cook the snail rice noodles until soft, add the seasonings, and then add all the vegetables except for the wild fruits.

A rich aroma filled the cabin.

Li Zhi blew on his snail rice noodles and casually opened the area chat to act as an electronic pickled vegetable.

[Mom and Dad, where are you? It's me, Lingling! My birthdate and address are **. Please reply when you see this!]

[Image] In this day and age, the fact that instant noodles can still have a sausage added speaks volumes about its quality, doesn't it?

[Are there really people who don't plan to collect even one unit of Apocalypse Dust?]

[Buying spaceship blueprints. Private message me for a high price.]

【I'm not going to scrape together any money. I'll use the money from selling Apocalypse Dust to buy clothes, blankets, and instant noodles. I'll eat and drink well every day. Even if I die, I can at least be a well-fed ghost.】

Seriously, our group already has 1317 members, and none of them are saving Apocalypse Dust. We'll see if the game dares to actually wipe us all out in three days.

[Listen up, everyone. Apocalypse Dust isn't hard to obtain. Talents can't help, but we can use the Cloud Net to catch it. Statistics show that as long as you catch it more than 8 times a day, you'll get at least 2 Apocalypse Dust in the next 4 catches. Add that to the dust caught during the day, and you'll definitely be able to collect enough.]

[Collecting every two hours? Don't we get any sleep or meals? On Earth, being a beast of burden meant 996 work hours, but here it's 007? If your government really cared about the lives of ordinary people like us, you should give us the collected Apocalypse Dust!]

"That's right! We pay so many taxes just for you to eat without contributing? Why don't you find a way to send us back to Earth? I just had my house demolished, and before I even got to be a 'demolition beneficiary,' I'm sent to this dilapidated house to starve! Send me back!"

[Damn! Hey you, the one handing out instant noodles! If you're so capable, marry me! See if your dad's going to fight you over in a couple of days!]

[Please remain calm. The organization is working on a solution, but the public should not give up on self-rescue. Fishing every two hours, if planned properly, will not affect rest. These are extraordinary times, and we hope everyone will work together to overcome these difficulties.]

【Hehe, I won't, what can you do about it? [Image] Grandpa doesn't just have instant noodles and sausages, he also has beer~】

You just wait!

Li Zhi watched with great interest as he slurped his food.

Just then, a message popped up in the group chat:

You are safe: [Gentlemen, a type of creature called the Night Bat lurks in the shallow air. They are nocturnal, have a keen sense of smell, and possess heat sensing abilities. After the beginner period ends, these Night Bats are highly likely to appear at night and attack the cabins. Please be on guard.]
