Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Celia took Li Zhi for a stroll around Black Iron Port and purchased all the raw materials.

The messages regarding the equity distribution meeting have all been answered:

Ling: [Okay, I'm off tomorrow, so I can come over.]

Mingchun: [Understood]

Forging: [Should we secretly discuss how much stock to give Celia, and how to make her take less?]

Canghai: [Since we're nearby, prepare plenty of food.]

Chen: [You could have notified me a little later.]

Lingqiu also replied: [I'm starting to wake up]

Lingqiu: [I'd like to join Buwangwei, but I can't get through this right now. Also, why do I have to attend the shareholders' meeting? I don't have any shares.]

Li Zhixian returned to Lingqiu: [You have it.]

Lingqiu: [Did we talk about this? Why don't I remember...]

Li Zhi: [Your Spirit Hill is unique in the entire Tianqi Continent. Since it's being sold on the exchange and has become its signature product, it will naturally generate revenue for you. I'll give you 1%.]

Lingqiu: [So many?]

Lingqiu: [Then you can exchange my money for gold coins every year and put them in my room. When I come to sleep, I can swim in a pile of gold coins.]

Li Zhi: [Is your soul injured?]

Lingqiu: [Did you go to the Starry Sky Corridor?]

Li Zhi: [I'm sending you some Apocalypse Crystal Shards. Use them for now, and contact me if you need more.]

Lingqiu: [No, the wealth ranking is about to start. You can give it to me after the wealth ranking ends.]

Li Zhi was taken aback.

It's normal for Lingqiu to be concerned about her.

However, it's unusual for Lingqiu to be so meticulous.

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, and then deleted all the lines of text that had formed in the chat box due to his thoughts.

She simply replied: [Don't worry, Senior Jade and the others have all become subjects of the Unforgettable Vigilance faction, and my money is still all there, I won't lose.]

Lingqiu: [Zzz——]

Li Zhi closed the chat window thoughtfully and looked at the construction platform that was working diligently.

The grocery store will be closed for one day tomorrow.

She plans to upgrade the "Unforgettable Danger" shopping mall and build it downstairs from the hotel. This hotel will integrate accommodation, restaurants, conference halls, gyms, museums, and shopping malls.

This design was the one Li Zhi ultimately chose from more than a dozen options.

Compared to those super high-rise hotels and hotels of all kinds of bizarre shapes, this design has a very distinctive style of ancient architecture from the Xia Kingdom of Blue Star. It is built along both sides of the stream and takes advantage of the changes in the terrain to give the hotel itself an undulating shape.

Its tallest building has only six floors, far below the surrounding mountains, but it makes the most of the space and takes full advantage of the terrain.

It's just that the area is too large and there are too many raw materials.

Li Zhi only managed to transport all the raw materials back by borrowing Celia's spatial equipment. Now, it takes twenty or thirty people to specifically handle the task of loading the raw materials onto the construction platform.

"Can it be built in one night?"

Even Feng Aotian came to help.

She looked at the construction platform where the foundation was still being laid, her tone somewhat doubtful.

Li Zhi: "Yes."

As they were talking, Bai Ge walked over: "Boss, a member of the Scaled Clan has come to see you."

Li Zhiyi was delighted: "Take me there."

She quickened her pace and soon saw Tu at the entrance to the barrier.

"Sister Tu!"

Tu Ben's indifferent expression softened when he saw Li Zhi running over, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I never imagined that you would go from a small merchant in the wilderness market to such a powerful lord in such a short time."

Lee Ji grinned: "That's for sure. When you first met me, didn't you see my potential?"

Tu thought for a moment and said, "I just thought you were very opportunistic and bold. I never expected that you would be the one to save me in the end. Thank you."

Li Zhi: "No need to thank me. It wasn't just me who saved you. I only lent a hand. Ling and Chen were the ones who really did the work. Come on, this will be your home from now on. Let me introduce you."

She walked ahead, introducing Bai Ge to Tu as they went: "This is Bai Ge. She's currently managing the mall for me. You can contact her if you need anything."

Bai Ge smiled warmly: "Hello, Sister Tu, I'm Bai Ge. You can call me Little Pigeon if you want. Feel free to come to me if you need anything."

Tu nodded and looked at Li Zhi.

"The messenger told me that you need me to do something?"

Li Zhi: "Yes, help me deliver a letter."

Tu: "A letter?"

Li Zhi: "Did you just return to District 15? The human race has established a territory in the sea, and I have a letter to give to the lord of that territory."

Tu: "I know her, Li Lingjun, your relative."

Li Zhi did not refute: "It's her. You just need to deliver the letter to her."

Tu: "Give me the letter, and I'll go deliver it now."

Li Zhi waved his hand: "No need to rush, I have prepared a teleportation stone. You can teleport there directly in a moment, and after you've delivered it, wait for her to pick up what she wants to give you, and then come back."

"Let me show you around first~"

Although both sides of the stream were demolished and rebuilt, Li Zhi specifically requested that no vegetation be damaged except for the construction sites, so although it did not look pleasing to the eye, it did not appear messy.

"A hotel will be built here. Although the style will be uniform, it won't all be hotels. Part of it will be hotels, and part of it will be staff dormitories. The staff dormitories are closer to here, and you will live here as well."

As Li Zhi explained, he also introduced the passersby, such as Greedy Pass, to Tu Shi.

After they had seen enough, Li Zhi led Tu up the back mountain.

Sitting on a rock beside the waterfall, she took out a blue, rhomboid stone: "Do you recognize this?"

Tu was taken aback: "The core territory of the sea?"

Li Zhi: "Yes."

Tu: "How did you get this?"

Li Zhi: "This was given to me by an elder of your Lin tribe. What I want to know is, how many territories do you think this core territory could be exchanged for?"

Tu asked suspiciously, "None of the elders of the Scaled Race possess a Sea Core. Which elder gave it to you?"

It wasn't that she thought Li Zhi was lying; the core of a territory could not be materialized and handed over to another person unless it was truly authorized by the lord or the heir.

The fact that it appeared in Li Zhi's hands means that the core of this territory truly belongs to her.

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't believe that there was an elder among the Scaled Race who possessed a core of a domain, which he had not only kept hidden but had also secretly given away behind the backs of his people.

This is undoubtedly treason!

A murderous glint appeared on his face: "This person is definitely not a true descendant of the Scaled Race!"

Li Zhi: "She is a legitimate descendant of the Scaled race, her name is Kleiasna."

Tu: "There's absolutely no way there could be a legitimate Scaled Bloodline Society—Kleiasna?"

Li Zhi: "Kreasna."

Tu stared at Li Zhi's face, observing every change in her features, as if trying to find any suspicious traces on her face.

Li Zhi let her look at him.

Tu: "...You must be lying."

Li Zhi: "I didn't lie, I never lie."

Tu Xiang seemed to have thought of something, and said with certainty, "That means you robbed the Lin Yi who had been living abroad, and threatened her to transfer the core territory to you."
