Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Li Zhi settled the Jade Clan on the second floor of the newly renovated hotel.

The second floor has a terrace and offers mountain views.

The Emerald Clan's companion beasts vary in size; the larger ones can live directly in the mountains, while the smaller ones can live in rooms or on terraces.

The Jadeite Clan was very satisfied.

Li Zhi then seized the opportunity to strike up a casual conversation: "Grandma, how old is Xingxing now? What generation of bloodline does it belong to the Flying Tiger King?"

"Xingxing is only 136 years old! He is the only grandson of Feihu Huang. When the beast tide came when Xingxing came of age, his mother found a gap in the mountain trial area and went in. She has not returned since."

Looking at the large tiger flying around outside, having a great time, Li Zhi asked incredulously, "One hundred and thirty-six years old?"

"The Flying Tiger Clan reaches adulthood at 120 years old. Xingxing has just come of age; she's still young."

Li Zhi: "Grandma, how old are you?"

Zell: "Me? I'm 817 years old, that's really old."

Li Zhi: "Wow."

The Tianqi Continent is only 997 years old, and the old man in front of me is 817 years old. What's the difference between him and someone who was born at the same time as the Tianqi Continent?

and……

"So you lived with Senior Jadeite back then?"

"Of course, when we arrived here, there was no Emerald Mountain Range yet, only a lake..."

Zell is telling a story from eight hundred years ago.

Li Zhi listened intently, and time passed by unnoticed as night fell.

Even after Bai Ge teleported back from Holy Shadow City and reminded her it was time for dinner, Li Zhicai said with lingering enthusiasm, "Let's eat first. You can finish the story with me next time you have time."

Zell nodded kindly: "I will tell you whenever you have time and want to hear it."

Li Zhi introduced the Emerald Clan and the employees of Buwangwei to each other, had a meal together, and then did not stay any longer.

The Emerald Clan has just arrived and needs time to adapt, as well as opportunities to interact with their subjects from other races.

Li Zhi returned to the spaceship, took a shower, changed his clothes, and sat on the carpet in front of the French windows, eagerly taking out the Lord's Gift Pack and the Top-Ranked Specific Treasure Chest.

[The top-ranked player on the New Race Lord leaderboard has opened their gift pack! Congratulations to the player who has received: a double-blessing territory magic circle core, 5 territory core gems, 10 pardons, a certificate for the right to build an army, a certificate for the right to issue currency, a portal license, and 3 exemptions from the Hundred Years' Rating War.]

Li Zhi only felt a blur before his eyes, and then the colorful certificates, magic scrolls, several raw stones, and the core fell out.

There wasn't a single thing that glittered with gold.

Yet each of them was more valuable than the gleaming treasure chest.

Li Zhi chose to check the information one by one:

[Territory Double Blessing Grand Magic Array Core: A unique reward for the top-ranked race in the first race rankings. It can be used in temporary territories and can be used in conjunction with Territory Cores. After use, the magic array will automatically cover up to 10 acres of territory and automatically draw two blessings related to the lord's talents and profession, blessing the vassal people living within the 10 acres of territory.]

Isn't this just a Territory Core Plus version?

It was precisely this random selection that made Li Zhi hesitant to use it casually.

Once her D card is drawn, her talent will be easily exposed, which poses a certain risk to her.

[Territory Core Stone: Every initial lord will have their own territory core. Each territory core stone covers 10 acres of territory. The lord can automatically choose a blessing related to their own talents and profession, and bless the vassals living within the 10 acres of territory.]

Li Zhi's eyes darted around.

If she were to unleash her second talent, the Climbing Ladder, wouldn't that mean that her subjects could potentially break through the racial level cap?

This talent is even more incredible than the D card.

Li Zhigeng cannot take it out.

The product is good, but she might need to do some research before she dares to use it.

While pondering when to use those platitudes, Li Zhi checked the details of the pardon authority:

[Right of Pardon: A right exclusive to the lord, which can pardon races below D rank, freeing them from slavery and granting them the status of the lord's subjects]

Li Zhi paused for a moment.

He put away the 10 pardon certificates.

The remaining military self-built rights certificates, currency issuance rights certificates, and portal licenses are as their names suggest.

[Centennial Rating War Exemption: A unique reward for the top-ranked race in the first-ever new race ranking, granting exemption from one race war during the Centennial Rating War, with both sides' scores not included in the total score.]

Li Zhi sat up straight.

The top seed on the new race leaderboard gets this kind of reward?!

No wonder Chong and Kleiasna received high scores in the century-long rating.

If these three war immunity contracts are used effectively, her territory will avoid massive casualties and gain a significant advantage in the strategic deployment of the century-long rating!

When Li Zhi rolled up the scroll of war immunity, the official meeting had already lasted from noon until evening.

Although no one made things difficult for Li Lingjun anymore, the atmosphere in the conference room was even more oppressive than during the day.

The intelligence minister stood alone, his voice hoarse: "The information we just received is that the most important thing in the gift package of the top-ranked new race lord is called immunity."

"Immunity means being exempt from a race war in a century-long war."

"This is a reward unique to the first newly appointed leader of the race's ranking list. It will never be available again in the future."

A murmur immediately broke out below:

"War immunity?!"

"There's something like this? This is far more valuable than any of our current strategic plans and research!"

"Is there any way to buy it from Samsung Wufei? This kind of thing is far more important to humanity as a whole than to her personally. As a human being, she should be able to distinguish between what's important and what's not."

The intelligence minister said in a complicated tone, "Now there is some good news. Samsung Wufei did not register her territory as a racial territory, but rather as an exclusive territory. This means that Samsung Wufei has no intention of seizing power or usurping authority."

"That's a good thing..."

"We can discuss war immunity, right? Our previous collaborations have been quite pleasant. And since the wealth rankings are being announced tomorrow, why not try to sway her with money?"

"Have you found out how much territory Samsung acquired this time?"

Intelligence Minister: "No, but according to our calculations, it should be between 30 and 80 mu."

"Since she registered it as her own territory, it proves she doesn't have much ambition. Why don't we just send someone to buy the territory from her? Anyway, the area she can claim in the Emerald Mountains is limited, and she's a merchant, so she shouldn't be so stubborn about not selling. We can also subtly inquire about exemptions."

The intelligence chief looked at the young district chief's innocent face and smiled. "Who do you think would be a good choice?"

The young district head turned his head.

Li Lingjun: "If you don't want things to go wrong, it's best not to look at me."

All eyes that had followed them turned away.

Someone said, "Bai Ge is still an insider in our organization. Letting her make the first move to negotiate with Samsung Wufei has the highest chance of success. However, it would be best to reach an agreement before the three rankings are announced tomorrow. Samsung Wufei can hold his position on the wealth ranking, but his combat power is not as good as that young man taken away by the Starborn."

"We might be able to work things out with her using our newly developed Tian Shu mech, which has stats close to A-grade equipment."
