Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Li Zhi turned back.

Who tops the racial wealth list? What major developments are happening?

Bai Ge sends her the latest official news every day.

Li Zhi's nightly routine before bed consists of training, obtaining D-rank items, synthesizing Apocalypse Dust, checking shop experience points, and washing up. Once he's done all of that, he'll check these messages while lying in bed.

Every few days she would also check the chat area, so as not to isolate herself from human communication.

However, all the information Bai Ge gave her was information that could be publicly released, and Bai Ge himself was no longer inside the system, so it was normal for some information to be missed or unable to be publicly released.

Without further ado, Ying said, "You remember you're from District 15."

Li Zhi: "Yes."

Shadow: "During this period, the new race took advantage of the surge in the price of Apocalypse Dust to establish three major bases: sea, land, and air. The land and air bases are located in District 4399, while the sea base is located between Districts 15 and 16. I heard that this is because a powerful professional of your new race reached a friendly cooperation with the high-ranking members of the Scaled Race. The area of ​​the sea base is the sum of the areas of the sky and land bases."

Li Zhi: "Scale descendant?"

Tu is a descendant of the scaly race.

She hadn't seen Tu for a long time. They had agreed to meet again after the storm had completely passed, but she didn't know if Tu had understood.

Li Zhi seriously doubted that she did not.

But this matter is not important for now.

Li Zhi: "You mean these three bases have already chosen their lords?"

"Only the decision regarding the naval base has been made."

Li Zhi immediately became interested: "So fast? What's your profession? How strong are you?"

To become the lord of a sea base while the air and land bases are still embroiled in conflict, one must possess both strength and a powerful background.

Shadow: "They are also a very interesting new race. They usually only operate in districts 15 to 17. They have a territory no smaller than yours and a group of very fanatical worshippers. Among these worshippers, the most powerful are their dependent people, who call themselves 'believers'."

Li Zhi frowned: "Missionaries?"

We've all come to the New World, and people are still proselytizing?

And it can even get official recognition?

That's a talented person too.

Li Zhi was very curious: "Then why was she chosen by the authorities as the lord of the sea? Your descriptions are almost heretical in the eyes of our new race's officials. She's powerful? You haven't even mentioned her profession yet."

Ying shook her head: "That's the biggest point of doubt. I couldn't find out the lord's profession. She claimed to be a 'missionary', but I don't know what a 'missionary' is or what the career path of a 'missionary' is, so I wanted to ask you."

Li Zhi: "A missionary is someone who spreads the doctrines of a certain religious belief. If you ask me about the career path of a missionary, I don't know either. Even in my previous world, I didn't have much contact with these things."

Shadow: "Then it's not surprising. That lord is very low-key. If she hadn't become the lord of your new race's sea base, I wouldn't have investigated her. I didn't know until I investigated that, like you, she has a high-level race with the heart of a strong person standing behind her. And you even met her a few days ago."

Li Zhi: "Fushan?"

She has only met two people with the Heart of a Strongman in the past few days.

One is Lingqiu, and the other is Fushan.

Lingqiu can be ruled out directly.

Then the only option is to support the mountain.

On the day she met Fushan, Li Zhi not only met Fushan, but also met someone she did not want to see.

Moreover, that person happened to be interested in religion, or rather, very interested in the brainwashing techniques of various religions.

Li Zhi's brow twitched, a certain guess forming in his mind: "The lord you're talking about wouldn't be named Li Lingjun, would he?"

Ying: "All I know is that her public name is Li Shi."

Li Zhi remained silent for a long time.

Shadow: "You know her?"

Shadow: "But you are all new races and from the same place, so it's not surprising that you know each other. Do you have any information about that lord? I'll buy you one gold bar for one bar."

Li Zhi: "You mean—she'll be number one on the new racial wealth list?"

It would be truly insane for the authorities to authorize a territory to a missionary!

This has nothing to do with whether this person is Li Lingjun or not; it's just that this "profession" is extremely sensitive on Earth.

Surely the entire official team wouldn't just let their guard down once they arrived on the Apocalypse Continent?

Shadow: "No one knows until the rankings are released, but she is currently the lord of your new race with the most territory, and her subjects have exceeded three digits. She should be among the top lords."

Li Zhi processed the news for a moment, then took out one gold coin: "This news is very important to me. Consider it a purchase. I'll be kept informed of her every move from now on."

Ying accepted the gold coin in surprise: "Is this new race your enemy?"

Li Zhi was even more surprised than her: "Why do you say that?"

Ying: "If it's your family or friend, you can get the information directly from them. Only when dealing with an enemy would you have to spend money to avoid missing any of their messages."

Li Zhi: "I wouldn't call her an enemy, but I'm worried she might cause me trouble, so I'm taking precautions in advance."

She didn't want to say more, so she stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go find Sister Mingchun."

Ying also stood up: "Let's go."

Li Zhi hesitated: "Where to?"

Shadow lifted the leaves of Leaf Tower: "Saint Shadow City, I'm going too."

Once the two of them had left Yeta, Li Zhi finally saw Ying's true appearance for the first time in the light.

Her body was dark gray, with golden lines on her arms and a golden mark on her forehead that looked like three drops of water. Apart from her skin color, she looked exactly like Mingchun.

However, Mingchun gives people a brighter and more generous feeling, while Ying's temperament is more unruly and lazy.

Li Zhi: "That's right. No one should dare to chase you down in the Green Market, since Holy Shadow City is right up there."

With a flick of her wrist, a cloak appeared in her hand, followed by a hat adorned with colorful feathers. After a moment's thought, she put it back.

The moment she put on the cloak, the gray on her body quickly disappeared, replaced by a healthy ivory color, and her figure gradually shrank, becoming slender and upright.

Her black hair fell loosely over her shoulders, with a few strands falling at the corners of her eyes, colliding with her long, straight eyelashes. She impatiently brushed them aside with her fingers, revealing a pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be born with a smile.

Li Zhi: "...I am right here. If you want to change, can't you just become someone else? That's strange."
