Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

After the shares were sold out, the trading of other shareholders' certificates of deposit, such as Tianqi Microdust and Lingqiu Ye, also took off.

Li Zhi stayed on the second floor and did not go down until night fell and the last guest left. Only then did the shareholders sit down with their respective helpers and hold a low-key celebration banquet.

Food from various ethnic groups was delivered to everyone in need via a magic circle.

Canghai ate until his cheeks were bulging.

Li Zhi was talking to Oliver, who had taken advantage of being off work to sneak up to the second floor early and was now getting a free meal.

Turning my head, I saw Canghai eating and drinking to his heart's content.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Senior Canghai, where is Canglian?"

Canghai paused mid-air with the fork she was using to poke at the strawberry, then ate it in one bite: "She's asleep. Kids sleep a lot, sometimes for decades. Don't worry about her. If you have anything good to eat, just send it to me, and I'll keep it for her."

Li Zhi smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Chen was unusually all smiles today.

She walked up to Li Zhi with her wine glass in hand and clinked glasses with him: "Is this your human race's etiquette? Last time I was doing business with a human merchant, she clinked my glass with hers like this."

Li Zhi: "It seems you have quite a lot of cooperation with the human race."

"Of course," Shen Hun said nonchalantly, "There are just too many of you humans, and there are even humans who come looking for me under your name."

Li Zhi asked curiously, "You've partnered with them?"

Shen revealed an even more delighted smile than when he learned how much money he had made: "It's out."

Li Zhi tapped the heavy glass: "Thanks, help me teach those who are using my name to swindle people a lesson."

The deep smile vanished.

But the image shifted to Li Zhi's face.

She grinned from ear to ear and went to find Ling to get some things.

The celebration banquet ended very late.

Everyone was happy, excited, and even thrilled.

Celia couldn't even maintain her composure: "Li Zhi... I need to talk to you about something later."

Fortunately, he withdrew his smile before it could appear.

Mingchun's gaze swept over Celia and Li Zhi.

Ying leaned closer to Mingchun: "Sister! We made so much money overnight. What do you think? Should I put all of it on those bastards who dared to raise my bounty? I'll raise their bounties too, so they can experience what it's like to not be able to go out in their true form!"

Mingchun instantly drew her attention back: "Transfer all your gold coins to me."

The shadow wailed, "Why?"

Mingchun: "Forward."

While the sisters were talking, the other shareholders took their leave one after another, and Li Zhi and Celia also went into Li Zhi's private office.

The barrier is closed.

Celia's tense face finally broke into a smile, the lines at the corners of her mouth and eyes deepening as she said, "Very good, we made more money today than my caravan makes in a year."

Li Zhi lay down on the sofa, completely relaxed: "The existence of the exchange will only make us earn more and more."

Celia: "The Lord Ranking will be revealed tomorrow, which will definitely attract the attention and speculation of various forces. Have you thought about how you're going to explain yourself?"

The portraits in the Starry Moon Corridor are an unspoken secret for most races.

However, the souls of those predecessors in the Starry Sky Corridor cannot be widely publicized.

Li Zhi had no intention of casually disseminating confidential information such as the hidden coefficient.

But she already had a plan: "Don't explain."

Celia: "You might be able to do that with humans, but with other curious higher races, they only want to deliver a message and don't care whether you're willing to explain or not. Just like Yi back then, as long as she captured you, she could always find out everything she wanted to know."

Li Zhi shrugged: "From now on, I will never show my true face to anyone again, except in the Emerald Mountains, Saint Shadow City, and your Black Iron Harbor."

Celia's eyebrows slowly furrowed.

After a moment of silence, he relaxed again: "Don't rush to use the trial zone pass for the Lord Ranking. After you're done with this busy period, go to the trial zone in the Emerald Mountains to hone your skills. Even if you can't level up again, you should still get your mecha working properly and improve your combat power. Also, try to take Perth with you when you go out in the future."

Li Zhi: "I'm used to being alone. Perth is annoying me. And why are you saying all this? Isn't there the Spirit Cleansing Potion from Lingqiu?"

Celia: "I just used one."

Li Zhi was taken aback, and slowly sat up.

Celia's hoarse voice carried a hint of gentleness: "Don't be sad about this. I have lived for a long time and achieved what most businessmen have not. In my final days, I fulfilled my and my teacher's long-cherished wish by taking you as a student."

"I am very satisfied."

"I'm not satisfied."

Li Zhi wanted to directly take out the blessing from the Lalexi tribe that he had received yesterday.

But in the end, reason prevailed over impulse.

She will announce the establishment of a new caravan the day after tomorrow, and it will be able to be officially launched in a few days; there is no need to rush.

"You're only level 11. Haven't you ever thought about reaching level 12 in your profession? Besides, I'll send people to find the life-extending item. You know my luck; I'm sure I'll find it."

Celia shook her head: "I've been searching for so many years and haven't found it. Even if you send out a caravan, you won't be able to find it in a short time. Let's not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow the lord rankings will be announced, and I have a few things to tell you."

"First, do not leave the Emerald Mountains before the beast tide ends. Your plan is good. Even if you do go out, do not let anyone recognize you."

"Secondly, I heard that the second batch of humans from your race is about to be released. The territory of the top-ranked race in each new race will expand rapidly. Therefore, Qiyuan will issue multiple citizenship certificates to the top-ranked lord and require the lord to use at least a portion of them."

"The Feathered Spirit Clan had to use one-third of their population, and the Scaled Clan had to use half. The exact number is uncertain, but there will definitely be a rule that forces lords to take in their subjects. You'd better prepare in advance. If you can't fill the required number of subjects within the specified time, the second batch of humans will be randomly deployed to your territory."

"If these humans enter your territory, they will automatically fill the rule quota."

Li Zhi frowned: "In other words, I can't select my subjects; instead, I have to accept whoever Qiyuan sends over."

"It means what you understand it to be."

"With great power comes great responsibility. Qiyuan has its own set of operating rules that you cannot violate, so you must make plans in advance."

Li Zhi had already started to think about it; "I understand..."

Celia: "Finally, the territory of the top-ranked new race lord in the first ranking will be automatically recognized by the council as the new nation established by the new race on the Apocalypse Continent. If you do not want to be automatically selected as the ruler of the new human nation, you must go to the council to explain that your territory is an exclusive territory, not a racial territory or a dependent territory. This is very important."

"The racial wars that have been rated over a century are basically dominated by racial territories. The lords of the dependent territories must unconditionally cooperate with the command and dispatch of the lords of the racial territories. Only the lords of the exclusive territories can have autonomy."

You have to make a choice.
