Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

After Emerald summoned the still-awake souls, Li Zhi stood very tactfully at the very edge of the barrier.

Not a millimeter off.

"Dear seniors!"

She had just raised her voice when she remembered that Nunu's family was sleeping nearby, so she turned to Emerald and asked in a low voice, "Senior Emerald, will my voice wake Senior Nunu's family?"

Jade: "Don't worry, once the origins are beyond a certain distance, they can no longer sense each other or hear each other's words. These origins went to find you before because they sensed the Apocalypse Energy."

Li Zhi felt relieved.

"Hello everyone! I'm Li Zhi! I'd like to introduce the second gift I'm giving you!"

"—Apocalypse Livestream!"

Li Zhi snapped his fingers, and Emerald quietly pressed a button, lighting up the projection behind her.

The scene of people coming and going at this critical moment appeared incredibly realistically before all the souls.

"What is this?! Are there actually technological products that can be used in the Starry Sky Corridor?"

"I think it looks like a magic circle, but I don't see any magic runes or formations."

"I just saw Jade fiddling with something there, a small, square box that looks like a technological product."

"Are these things important? What's important is whether these things will even be usable in the Starry Sky Corridor?"

"Apocalypse Energy?"

"There's so much Apocalypse Energy outside now? I've never heard of that!"

"I heard from my younger family that a beast tide is coming; it must have been left behind from the trial area."

The spirits chattered amongst themselves, discussing amongst themselves in front of the projector.

The live stream, which was just showing the waterfall scenery, was suddenly interrupted by several dogs sneaking in.

These men, wearing hoods and panting, whispered their plot:

"Finally made it to the top! Why is this mountain so steep!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! A three-star, five-cost unit is already C-rank! What if they hear us talking?!"

"You're the loudest booing person there, and you're booing me too? Okay, okay, keep it down. But you're saying that Samsung, a five-cost unit, really put all her items, equipment, and gold into her spaceship?"

"You country bumpkin! That's called a spaceship! Didn't you see how luxurious it was? We couldn't even afford the outer shell of one of our entire fortunes!"

"Say it again?"

"Alright, alright, she's from S City on Earth! You call her a country bumpkin, but you, from outside X City, are the real country bumpkin, okay? Stop arguing. Our goal now is to find a way to get onto a three-star, five-cost spaceship and steal her equipment!"

"What do you mean by stealing? We call this robbing the rich to help the poor, okay? That sounds awful!"

"Yeah, Samsung's five-star fee is enough to give everyone participating in her exchange 30 million. What's wrong with us taking it in advance? We'll be trading on her exchange someday too!"

"Yeah, yeah, we could get rich quick by taking some money from Samsung's five-star payout!"

"Actually, I was a good person on Earth, always law-abiding. Who would have thought I'd end up in this godforsaken place and become a thief? Becoming a thief is bad enough, but everyone I encounter is poor too. Stealing from 100 people gives me zero experience! Who can stand that?!"

"You think you're worse off than me? I just graduated from film school and became an actor! Who's going to watch my performances in this godforsaken place?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Are we here to compete in misery? We're here to get rich! Let's go! Keep climbing! Thirty million is waiting for us!"

These masked men encouraged each other in front of the camera, then crouched down and climbed up, panting heavily.

The spirits had already quieted down when these people appeared.

Once these people had climbed out of the frame, and the projection only showed the waterfall cascading down, one of the spirits immediately protested: "Hey! What happened? Continue!"

"The Samsung Five-Fee guy you're talking about is Li Zhi, right? Li Zhi, if you keep up with the footage, those guys will all be heading to your spaceship, wouldn't you have to keep an eye on them?"

"Quick, quick! Let me see if these people have succeeded in stealing!"

"Thirty million! Jade! How does this kid have so much money?"

Moras was the most anxious: "Contact Celia immediately! There's an aerial fortress of our Forging Clan in the Emerald Mountains! One of them belongs to her! Tell her to send men to capture these thieves right away!"

Li Zhi hadn't expected this unexpected turn of events. She had already contacted Teacher Hao, who was on duty that day, when these petty thieves appeared.

Seeing Moras's anxiety, he whispered, "I've already sent someone over, don't worry."

Moraes was not at all at ease, and even began to feel frustrated and disappointed:

"You've only been in Tianqi Continent for a month! How come you've given them so much money? Thirty million! Copper coins or silver coins? How did Celia give you the merchant guild?!"

Li Zhi: "It's neither a copper coin nor a silver coin."

Moraes nearly fainted: "Gold...gold coins?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "I'll give all the visitors to the exchanges thirty million: May you all be safe, may you all become stronger, and may you all get rich..."

Moraes, regaining his composure, asked, "Please... be safe?"

Li Zhi looked completely innocent.

Moraes lowered his head, paced back and forth, and made his already messy curly hair even messier.

When she looked up, her eyes were filled with relief, but her tone was somewhat complicated: "I know why Celia chose you..."

Seeing Moras's shocked and somewhat dazed expression, yet because he was one of their own, he smoothly bypassed their moral compass and accepted it directly, an idea suddenly popped into Li Zhi's mind.

"Master Moras, I have a favor to ask of you..."

While Li Zhi and Moras were talking, the souls were still very excited. If Li Zhi hadn't been standing inside the barrier, they would have rushed in to tinker with the monitor themselves.

Li Zhi: "Seniors! I'm so sorry! I originally wanted to show you all the scenery of my territory, 'Never Forget the Dangers,' but I didn't expect this unexpected incident. I might have to leave early to deal with this matter!"

"You can leave! But keep broadcasting!"

"Your projection device doesn't even have an automatic tracking function? It's so outdated. We mechanical race stopped producing such things a long time ago. Here, I'll give you a blueprint. When you get back, install it on that device so it can follow the activities of living beings."

"Go back quickly! Yes, yes, yes! When you get back, take a picture of that thing and show it to us, let's see if those people managed to steal it."

Li Zhi said solemnly, "Seniors, although I am sending people to hunt down these petty thieves, this is an internal matter of Buwangwei. For the sake of territorial security, it is not convenient to disclose this to outsiders unless they are subjects of Buwangwei. So I can only apologize to everyone."

Moras coughed. "Since outsiders can't see it, does that mean if I join your territory, I can see what happens next?"

Li Zhiyi slapped his thigh: "Senior Moras, you're simply a genius! Absolutely! If you join the Unforgettable Danger register, not only will you be able to see the subsequent scenes, but you can also use your contribution points to request the scenes you want to see! I'll also give you Apocalypse Crystals every month based on your contribution points!"

Moraes tugged at his hair: "Really?"

Li Zhi: "Absolutely true! However, the number of spots is limited, and once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever. After all, the Unforgettable Danger only wants the highest quality elites. A powerful individual like Senior Emerald, with extremely high potential, can directly obtain the title and privileges of an honorary lord if they join the Unforgettable Danger!"

Moraes lowered his head: "...How many spots are left for 'Never Forget the Danger'?"

Li Zhi: "Oh dear! There are only 30 spots left! After all, Apocalypse Crystals are limited! We need to ensure everyone's energy supply! As the lord, I also have a responsibility to take care of this!"
