Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Just as doubts arose, Li Zhi suddenly thought of something and opened the player panel again.

[Racial Rank: D- (60/10~?)]

Grade D, if sorted alphabetically, this grade shouldn't be too bad, right?

But what does the question mark after the number mean?

Li Zhi only had a moment's doubt before dismissing it.

With too few clues and limited energy, thinking about deeper things before solving the problem of survival is a waste of energy and brainpower.

We shouldn't think about things too far in the future, but we still need to carefully consider the present.

She definitely wants to buy the [Li Zhi D-level Origin Card].

Fortunately, this card only costs 10 copper.

Although it's the most expensive card available right now, it's something I have to pay for even if I can't afford it, let alone something I can actually buy.

After making the purchase, Li Zhi immediately checked the information.

[Li Zhi D-Rank Origin Card: An origin card exclusively for the human Li Zhi. Three origin cards can upgrade Li Zhi to D2 rank. (A weakling with incredible luck, his talent actually managed to obtain an origin card. If other races knew, they would definitely want to dissect him.)]

Li Zhi ignored the complaints following the message.

It directly captures the most essential information.

--upgrade!

What is the most important thing in a game?

Of course, it's about leveling up.

Even if you're not a combat player and just want to explore the map and enjoy the scenery, your level is still important.

In the game, if your level is not high enough, you can't even unlock some areas of the map.

This is a real survival world.

Level will only become more important!

A lower level means higher risk, which in turn means a faster death.

There is no respawn point here.

The first rule is "Player death is true death".

Li Zhi didn't want to risk his life to test the validity of the game rules.

Therefore, upgrading is absolutely the most important thing in the long run, without exception.

But finding one unit of Apocalypse Dust is the most urgent task at hand.

Li Zhi suppressed his excitement, carefully put away the Origin Card, and began to ponder.

According to the information on the Origin Card, it seems that she is not the only one; other races in this world also use Origin to upgrade, but it is highly likely that they do not do so in the form of cards, since this is a talent unique to her.

Although he didn't know what the origins of the others were, the thought of the parenthetical message, "If other races knew, they would definitely want to dissect you," was enough to make Li Zhi wary.

The origin is probably extremely difficult to obtain.

She absolutely cannot let a second person know that her talent allows her to generate Origin Cards.

Many thoughts flashed through Li Zhi's mind, but in the end, they all turned into relief.

She wasn't sure what the other people's talents were, but in a perilous new world, having a talent that could enhance strength and replenish resources was definitely a cheat code.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi suddenly realized that he hadn't checked his own attributes yet.

She opened the player panel and clicked on the player attributes next to the level:

Player Attributes:

Health: 15/15 (not enough for two pecks from a Rockbeak)

Spirit: 7/10 (Humanity's ceiling, the soles of all races)

Strength: 7 (pull)

Speed: 8 (Garbage)

Overall combat strength: 7.5 (If you get caught up in this, even the worms underground could swallow you whole.)

Li Zhi's forehead twitched.

I won't bother arguing with this dog's information.

Everything else is at its maximum, so why did my mental energy only cost 3 points?

Li Zhi pondered for a moment.

The only thing I can think of related to "3" is that I drew the cards 3 times.

Whether this is the reason or not, try it and you'll find out.

Li Zhi pressed the "D" key.

Click.

Five new cards appeared before us:

[Iron Pot] [Duplicate Card] [Protective Shield (One-Time Talent)] [One Citrus Fruit] [A Dagger Discarded by the Forging Clan]

It actually refreshed the talent!

And it only costs 3 copper!

Li Zhi immediately bought it:

[Protective Shield (One-Time Talent): Used in shelters, it can withstand attacks from monsters below the Cloud Ore layer for one night; used personally, it can withstand attacks from races below C1 level for ten minutes, and one hit from a B1 level monster. (Somewhat useful, but not much)]

It's very useful!

Since seeing the rule that "you will not encounter external attacks during the protection period", Li Zhi speculated that he might be attacked after the newbie protection period ended.

This dilapidated wooden hut, which couldn't even keep out the wind, was obviously no match for an external attack.

At that moment, Li Zhi felt a sense of urgency.

Now that there's an extra protective shield, it means an extra day of preparation time.

Then there is room for compromise in other matters.

Li Zhi looked at the remaining four cards.

Iron pot, copy card, and citrus are all 1 copper, but the "dagger discarded by the forging clan" costs 10 copper!

—The same price as her original card.

Moreover, it was an obsolete dagger.

Li Zhi had a vague sense of unease.

Humanity's D-level rating might be a billion points lower than she imagined.

But the plight of humanity was not something she should be thinking about at this moment; she could only decide whether or not to buy the 10-bronze card.

Li Zhi didn't hesitate for long.

Anyone who has read novels or played games knows that items that look old but are still very expensive are either a lucky find or have hidden plot points.

Cutting costs is not as effective as increasing revenue.

Li Zhi opened the trading area and reluctantly hung up the hot pot base as well.

A friend request popped up as soon as I logged in.

[Don't ask me to be your friend while you're taking a dump. Do you agree?]

After agreeing, "Don't yell when you're pooping" quickly sent a message:

[Thanks, friend! Zhang said you recommended this to her. I don't have anything else good on hand right now, so I'm sending you a roll of toilet paper to help you poop happily and avoid constipation~]

[“Don’t yell when you’re pooping.” Here’s a roll of toilet paper for you. Would you like to accept it?]

Li Zhi immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards "Don't yell when you're pooping".

Who doesn't like a polite girl who can also be sweary?

Li Zhi simply clicked "accept".

Give me back my 3-star, 5-star rating!!! : [Too bad there's no toilet, otherwise I could have taken a dump as a sign of respect.]

Don't yell when you're taking a dump: [How did you know I had bathroom blueprints?]

Give me back my Samsung Galaxy S5! : [Too bad I don't have a phone to take pictures, what a pity! So regrettable!]

Don't yell when you're pooping: [If you can't poop, don't yell.]

Li Zhi laughed out loud.

"Don't make a sound when you poop" is truly a wonderful person.

Time is of the essence, and everyone has their own things to do.

After exchanging a few words, Li Zhi closed the chat window.

After taking a deep breath, he lay down on the ground and crawled forward.

They crawled out through the open wooden door, clung tightly to the railing, and slowly pulled the net up.

A few small stones rolled out.

The panel then popped up.

Congratulations on catching 0.3 units of iron!

Li Zhiyi sat bolt upright, one hand gripping the railing, the other trembling: "That's it? That's it? That's it?!"

Two hours of salvage work, crawling twice, and only 0.3 units of iron?

She has no use for it now.

But you can't throw it away even if you don't need it.

Li Zhi regained his senses, lay down again, and struggled back into the house with several iron blocks.

Fortunately, I received good news as soon as I got back.

—Someone traded Apocalypse Micro Dust for anti-inflammatory drugs!

Call me Phoenix Aotian: [How much anti-inflammatory medicine can 0.2 units of Tianqi micro-dust be exchanged for?]

He actually used 0.2 units of Apocalypse Dust right off the bat!

Having only been in the game for two hours, Li Zhi was certain that less than 1% of humans possessed 0.2 units of Apocalypse Dust.

Moreover, if I, Feng Aotian, can take out 0.2 units to exchange for something, then I definitely can't only have 0.2 units on hand.

Give me back my 3-star, 5-cost item: [3 items.]

Call me Feng Aotian: [A bit expensive.]

Give me back my 3-star, 5-cost item!!! :[My anti-inflammatory medicine sells for 4 copper per pill, and the highest price for Apocalypse Dust in the trading area is only 5 copper (0.1 unit). I'm charging the highest market price.]

This was indeed the highest price Li Zhineng had offered.

Every dose of anti-inflammatory medication is one less available.

She wasn't sure when she would need to use it.

I need to keep at least three to five to feel at ease.

Every remaining one sold is one less available.

Call me Phoenix Aotian: [You know, nobody trades anything for 5 copper coins.]

Give me back my 3-star, 5-cost card!!! :[So I gave it to you at the 6-bronze price.]

Honest businessman, fair and honest dealings with everyone, young and old!

Call Me Phoenix Aotian: [...Fine, let's make a deal.]

Li Zhi traded over three anti-inflammatory pills, and Tianqi Micro Dust instantly collected half of them.

At the same time, a dialog box popped up:

Congratulations to player [Give me back my 3-star, 5-cost character!!!]:

As the player who earns the most net profit within the first two hours on the initial map, you are granted early qualification to change your class: Black-hearted Merchant.

Should I choose to change jobs?
