Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Tianmu was surprised: "You brought me a book?"

Li Zhi scratched his head shyly and said, "I don't know what you like, senior. I thought that since you created the mental power training method, you must be very interested in how far it has developed now, so I brought you this book. I don't know if you like it..."

"I love so much!"

Tianmu took the book and immediately began reading.

Li Zhi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing how seriously she was reading, he closed his mouth again.

He simply walked silently to another senior who had his eyes closed and put down the Apocalypse Dust Necklace.

When she placed the 79th necklace, she encountered another conscious soul.

Clairesna.

She lay half-reclined in the starry sky, as at ease as if she were in water, her long, seaweed-like hair seemingly floating in the current.

As if sensing Li Zhi's gaze, it casually looked over: "The 1225th portrait? The potential of the source is quite strong. It can enter the Starry Sky Corridor so early."

Li Zhi greeted her politely, "Senior Kleiasna, I am Li Zhi, from the newly emerging human race. This is a gift I brought for you."

The Apocalypse Dust Necklace floated into Kleiasna's hands.

Kleiasna: "This setting method is quite interesting. Are you looking for the jade? It's at the very back."

Li Zhi was slightly surprised: "You... Senior Jadeite, have you mentioned me to you?"

Kleiasna frowned slightly: "Too much. She wasn't usually that talkative, but now she's become so noisy that I had to use my source power to find a different place to rest."

Li Zhi calmly digested the information contained in that sentence.

It can be basically confirmed that these predecessors who possessed the powerful hearts and whose portraits were still conscious did not actually die.

Their souls, or, according to the Apocalypse Continent, their origins, still remain.

It's just unknown why they were trapped here or whether they voluntarily stayed in this starry corridor.

Perhaps the answer to this question can only be found in jade.

Li Zhi: "Then I won't bother you any longer, senior."

Clairesna was still studying the inlay technique of the Apocalypse Dust, and gracefully waved her hand.

On the way, Li Zhi saw Lingqiu's soul.

She was fast asleep, but unlike the other souls with their eyes closed, she was snoring. She was covered with a spirit hill leaf, and she even turned over when Li Zhi passed by.

Li Zhi smiled and placed a necklace inlaid with fragments of the Apocalypse Crystal around her soul.

The necklace floated upwards automatically, and the Apocalypse Energy began to emanate and fall onto her.

"Um?"

Clairesna turned around and happened to see this scene.

"That's... Apocalypse Energy?"

Her elegant, aloof tone shifted slightly: "You have an Apocalypse Crystal Core?"

Li Zhi glanced subconsciously at the necklace he had just given to Ling Qiu's soul body, and after confirming, replied, "I didn't."

Clairesna: "But her soul is being repaired."

Li Zhi: "Was Lingqiu's soul injured?"

Kleiasna: "She broke a taboo, rewrote cause and effect, and her soul was severely damaged and is in a constant state of slumber. Her physical body is also imprisoned in the Spirit Hill Forest. However, if you go to Nanqi, you might be able to see her."

Li Zhi stood frozen in place.

She should have thought of that.

Before Lingqiu left, he specifically reminded her that she was too bored in Nanqi and would be asleep most of the time. If she couldn't find her, she could send a few more messages and she would reply when she saw them.

At that moment, a strange feeling actually arose in her heart.

But compared to what Lingqiu had given her, what she had already gained and what she needed to do to gain more occupied 99% of her brain's memory.

The lord rankings, the wealth rankings, and even thinking about how to deal with the beast tides made her feel more comfortable than pondering the price someone she had only known for less than two days had paid for her, or how to repay such pure kindness and friendship.

The brain automatically filters out thoughts that may trigger negative emotions.

So much so that the strange feeling was only fleeting, and she quickly threw herself into the new pressure and challenges.

The truth has now been revealed on the spot.

The first thing that popped into Li Zhi's mind was: just how good was her relationship with Ling Qiu in the future that Ling Qiu would give up so much, even to break taboos, peer into the river of time, and change cause and effect.

Kleiasna: "Her necklace seems different from everyone else's."

Li Zhi came to his senses: "Yes, Ling Qiu and I are friends. The necklace I gave her was a fragment of the Apocalypse Crystal."

Although there was no design available due to time constraints.

However, it is the only one among the 1224 necklaces that is inlaid with fragments of the Apocalypse Crystal.

—She plans to find a few more fragments of Apocalypse Crystals, dye them green, make them into the shape of Lingqiu Leaf, and send them to Lingqiu in Nanqi.

Apocalypse Shards and Apocalypse Dust are different.

It's sparkly; Lingqiu will definitely love it.

Clairesna: "You two are friends?"

Kleiasna looked at Li Zhi thoughtfully, then her gaze shifted to the Apocalypse Crystal Necklace: "Do you still have that necklace? Can I take a look?"

Li Zhi: "I'm sorry, senior, that's all. I only did this one."

Kleiasna: "Do you still have any Apocalypse Shards?"

Li Zhi was about to say no when he caught a glimpse of several spirits heading his way.

The sky curtain is also among them.

Li Zhi turned his head to look.

The person behind the canopy is reading a book, and then another canopy appears in front of them.

A winged spirit with golden wings hovered in front of Li Zhi: "I sensed Apocalyptic energy here. Did you bring it?"

Upon recognizing the person as Chong, the ancestor of the Feathered Spirit Clan, Li Zhi replied, "It is I."

The second celestial screen reads: "Another Apocalypse Crystal Core has appeared on the Apocalypse Continent? Has the edge layer opened? Or has another secret realm restarted?"

Li Zhi looked surprised: "Senior, weren't you over there?"

The second celestial screen: "This is also a form of mental separation. Thank you for your book, I really like it. Can you answer my question from earlier?"

Li Zhi looked blank: "I don't know. It's just a fragment of apocalyptic crystal. I bought it on the black market. But Lingqiu likes shiny things, so I made it into a necklace and brought it here."

"black market……"

"You can find anything on the black market..."

"But there haven't been any Apocalypse Crystals capable of gathering pure energy for many years, otherwise we wouldn't be..."

In the starry sky, one by one, the souls opened their eyes and began to discuss.

They gradually gathered in Li Zhi's direction.

Li Zhi listened to the entire discussion without showing any emotion, then withdrew from the circle: "Seniors, may I ask where Senior Jade is? I'm here to find Senior Jade."
