Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Upon hearing the name Emerald, the approaching spirits stopped in their tracks.

Li Zhi's expression remained unchanged, his smile shy and obedient: "By the way, there are still many seniors here who haven't received their necklaces yet, right? This is a gift I prepared for everyone, the Apocalypse Dust Necklace."

She handed the necklace directly to the nearest Soul of the Forging Clan: "Master Moras, this is your necklace. My teacher was also from the Forging Clan, her name was Celia, and my grandmaster was Senior Lilia. She was from the same era as you. I wonder if you two have met?"

Moras's voice boomed, "I've seen her! Of course I've seen her! She's the one who sells all the weapons I make! I've bought a lot of good stuff from her too! I watched Celia grow up, and you, little guy, are actually Lilia's grand-apprentice? So the Forging Clan Merchant Guild was passed down to you?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Not yet. My teacher just took me to Rongcheng to meet some people."

Moras: "Then it's yours! Everyone! This is a junior member of my Forging Clan! Please take care of him!"

When they saw Li Zhi take out a necklace that was similar to the one floating on Lingqiu's soul body, some soul bodies immediately became excited. However, after realizing that it was Apocalypse Dust and not Apocalypse Crystal Fragments, their excitement subsided.

But no matter where you are, you're always indebted to those who take your money.

As Li Zhi politely distributed necklaces to each soul, recognizing each one at a glance and chatting about their lives and achievements, the darkness in the souls' eyes faded considerably.

In addition, her relationship with Emerald, Moras, and Lingqiu caused some of the restless souls to give up their thoughts.

After Li Zhi finished distributing the necklaces to all the spirits gathered around, he asked curiously, "Seniors, do you know where my spirit is? And I don't seem to see the spirits of Senior Nunu and Senior Fushan either."

"Those of you who are still alive are at the very back, near the Emerald."

Moras floated up and pointed to the place with the densest starlight: "Your soul is right next to the emerald, just go there."

Li learned of Xie's presence and then emerged from the encirclement of countless souls.

The starry sky corridor seems to have no end.

But Li Zhi hadn't walked far when he saw the starry sky that Moraes had just pointed to.

When a green figure, as elfin as an elf, appeared before Li Zhi, she recognized her almost immediately: "Senior Emerald!"

Emerald turned her head, her emerald green eyes brimming with laughter: "You've come."

Li Zhi strode forward, as if meeting an old friend again after parting ways that morning. Without exchanging pleasantries, he went straight to the question that concerned him most: "Senior Emerald, why are all of us souls here, but the souls of Lingqiu are over there?"

Jade: "Although her soul was injured, it is actually very powerful. The more powerful the soul, the closer it will be to the entrance of the Star Moon Corridor."

As Li Zhi looked over, Emerald had already answered her question: "I am here not because my soul is weak, but because every hundred years, the Starry Sky Corridor selects the strongest soul to look after the strongest soul of the next hundred years. This hundred years is mine."

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Jadeite, this is a necklace I made for you."

This is a necklace shaped like an emerald mountain range, made from dozens of Apocalypse Microdust particles.

It is dozens of times larger than other people's necklaces.

Jade took it and put it on around her neck: "Thank you, I like it very much."

Li Zhi looked around: "Can other spirits hear your voice?"

With a flick of his jade, starlight scattered, and the entire galaxy began to revolve.

"That way you won't be able to hear it."

Lee Ji grinned: "That's good."

She mysteriously pulled out a handful of Apocalypse Crystals and stuffed them all into Emerald's hand: "I only found out after I arrived that Apocalypse Crystals can replenish your energy, so I didn't bring many with me. Please take these first, and let me know when you're done using them, and I'll bring you more."

In her emerald green eyes were reflected golden eyes that were exactly the same as Li Zhi's golden soul body, bright and cunning yet full of elusive charm.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You just gave me these crystal fragments?"

Li Zhi: "You were the one who created all my Origin Cards, and you already know my secrets, so why should I hide them? That would be unpleasant. Besides, I wanted to give them to you."

Jade gently tapped Li Zhi's forehead.

Li Zhi felt his mind was clear and his mental energy seemed to be much fuller.

She vaguely felt that she had developed a deeper bond and connection with Jade.

"What is this...?"

"The Emerald Mountains were my mountains, but now they are yours as well. I have revoked your authorization and placed you in the position of successor. They now belong entirely to you."

"I can still protect you."

Li Zhi was stunned; he was truly dumbfounded this time.

Admittedly, her decision to give the Apocalypse Crystal directly to Jade was not only out of a genuine desire to repay her, but also partly due to opportunistic intent.

Jade looked at her D-card countless times.

They had already guessed the secret of her talent.

Just like she said, it's better to speak openly than to hide it.

But her choice was also the result of careful consideration.

She had thought she would receive more support and care from Jade because of this, but she never expected to receive such sincere benefits that were even a million times greater than those from the Apocalypse Crystal!

The Emerald Mountains are no ordinary mountain range.

It is a battleground for all races.

The Forging Clan set up an aerial fortress above the Emerald Mountains, while the Scale Clan placed their capital, Golden City, right next to the Emerald Mountains. The Craftsman Town also became a transcendent entity because of the Emerald Mountains.

Not to mention the various trial zones, black markets, and bazaars in the vicinity...

Li Zhi couldn't believe that Jade would so casually make her the heir to the Jade Mountain Range.

What's the difference between this and exchanging a few small stones for mountains of gold and silver?

But Li Zhi just stood there, somewhat at a loss.

Normally, he would be quick-witted and eloquent, but at this moment, he couldn't utter a single word.

Emerald gently embraced Li Zhi, like a mother comforting her child: "Don't feel pressured or afraid about this... A soul without a body will amplify all emotions, and a soul without a body will always be more sensitive to the essence of another soul."

"I used to wonder what kind of child Li Zhi was. I thought about it many times, but it was not as good as actually seeing you. Now I have seen it. Li Zhi, without a physical body, is also a golden child."

Everything you have is what you deserve.

"Moreover, as a guardian of an era, I have a responsibility to choose a successor for the next century. My choice of you to become the strongest person of this era is also a kind of exchange of interests."

"Only when you become stronger will I benefit from it."

"Li Zhi, become stronger. Do whatever you want. The Emerald Mountains will always be your support."
