Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Li Zhi didn't blame Celia for concealing the truth.

It's not Celia's fault.

Her initial choice was also the number one on the racial wealth list.

My idea regarding the lord rankings is simply to stay in the top 1000.

From an objective standpoint, the chances of her succeeding in competing with the official lord rankings for the top spot are virtually zero.

However, the rewards for being number one on the leaderboard are simply too tempting.

So much so that Li Zhi was now tempted not only to use all his funds to invest in building his territory, but also to short the Tianqi Micro Dust market and make a huge profit, gambling on having his cake and eating it too.

But she quickly rejected that option.

It's not that she can't do it, but even if she could, the level of hatred would be too high.

Moreover, it's not necessarily possible to achieve both rankings.

Li Zhi's expression changed several times as he rapidly calculated the gains and losses in his mind. Just before making a decision, he forcibly shifted his attention to the waterfall.

The flowing water washes over the rocks, and the bursting waves, accompanied by the fresh scent of grass and flowers and the moisture mixed with the smell of earth, roll from the nasal cavity into the chest cavity.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, walked to the waterfall, and washed his face.

If you can't have both, then you can only maximize your benefits.

If nothing unexpected happens, the top-ranked lord will definitely be granted territory. The condition for becoming a formal lord is to claim the same piece of land three times, not necessarily the right to claim land from the wealth ranking.

Take a gamble on the lord rankings—

Or should we aim for a steady and reliable approach?

Just before making a decision, Li Zhi took out the cards he had just bought, clicked to view the card information, and once again deliberately interrupted his mind, which was blinded by profit.

[S1 Service Robot: A low-energy robot in the S series developed by the Mechanical Race in the year 995 of the Apocalypse Calendar. One unit of Blue Crystal Energy can power it for one Apocalypse Month. It covers all household services, including but not limited to cleaning, organizing, cooking, receiving guests, recording and planning schedules, etc.]

It has quite a full range of functions, and it would be nice to put it on a spaceship to help with housework.

While absentmindedly thinking, Li Zhi continued to examine the Class C medical kit.

【C级医疗箱：低级治疗药剂*5；中级治疗药剂*3；D级解毒剂*5；C级解毒剂*3；轻伤治疗仪*1】

not bad.

As his feverish mind gradually cooled down, Li Zhi checked the information on his only one-time use talent card:

【If you hit them, they can't hit me anymore (One-time talent): Consumes 10 points of mental energy; when you shout "If you hit them, they can't hit me anymore," the attacker will randomly attack another person within a 100-meter radius besides you (this talent is very suitable for you)】

Li Zhi put away the three cards.

Standing on the mountainside, looking down at the vast land below.

Customers come and go, busy colleagues, employees who get up in the morning to put their bedding into the wooden house, and then go to sleep at night within the barrier area.

My brain finally calmed down completely.

We cannot make such a rash decision.

At least enough information needs to be collected from multiple sources.

Li Zhi sent a message to Ying and was immediately teleported to the Green Market.

The 8-hour pass is still valid.

Li Zhi went directly to Saint Shadow City. When he found the address Ying had given him, he discovered that she was still using his own appearance and had not changed back.

Ying lazily raised a glass of beverage that smelled of wheat and fermentation: "It's not even dark yet, why are you here again?"

Li Zhi sat down next to her, looking solemnly at the shadow that looked exactly like him: "I need to know all the information about the ranking of all previous new race lords."

Ying sat up straight: "You want to compete for first place on the lord rankings?"

Li Zhi nodded.

Shadow: "Based on the information I've gathered, it's difficult."

Li Zhi: "I know, so I need enough information to judge whether it's worth taking this gamble."

Shadow: "I don't actually have the information on the ranking of past freshman race lords, but the Holy Shadow University library has it. I'll take you there."

She snapped her fingers, and the blue zero-gravity skateboard flew over from the corner again.

Shadow: "This is the fastest. Hold me, and I'll take you there."

Li Zhi jumped up and hugged Ying, or rather, his own waist.

"Let's go!"

The zero-gravity skateboard ascended at an extremely fast speed. Li Zhi felt the wind blow his hood off and his hair being pulled back wildly. Amidst the howling wind, his tilt angle was almost parallel to the ground.

Li Zhi didn't dare open his eyes, and he had no interest in thinking about the territory rankings or the wealth rankings anymore.

I just prayed that I wouldn't fall and die.

"arrive."

When Ying spoke, Li Zhi's head was buzzing with a constant whirring sound.

"This is the library."

Li Zhi subconsciously looked up and saw a huge, X-shaped magic circle made of gold and silver appear in front of him.

"Just walk in."

Shadow entered first.

Li Zhi followed closely behind.

My body swayed, and then my eyes lit up.

The library in Saint Shadow City is actually a dazzling galaxy.

"Grab any planet you like." Shadow reached out and grasped a deep blue planet, closing his eyes. "Imagine your problem; it will guide you."

Li Zhi followed suit and grabbed the golden planet next to him.

Please meditate on the question you wish to ask.

Li Zhi: "The rewards for each new race's leaderboard ranking in the Tianqi Continent, and the assessment criteria for the leaderboard ranking."

[Lord Ranking, searching...]

[The Lord Rankings are available in the History Department's bookshelf - New Race History Series. Please follow the guidance of the History Department's planet M-124 to the star system where the M-system star is located. Welcome back to use the Holy Shadow University's intelligent guidance.]

Li Zhi and Ying followed the golden planet along the Milky Way, arriving at a galaxy that resembled the Milky Way.

As soon as the golden planet appeared, two other planets flew out and transformed into two extremely thick books of unknown material, hanging in front of Li Zhi.

She caught two books at the same time.

These are "History of New Race Lords" and "History of New Race Rankings".

Li Zhi checked the directory and quickly found the information he wanted:

In the year 197 of the Apocalypse, the new race, the Rock Race, entered the Apocalypse Continent, and the ranking of new races was launched.

[In the year 197 of the Apocalypse, on the 30th day after the "New Race Protection Law" came into effect, the first ranking of the "New Race Lord Ranking" was launched.
