Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Li Zhicai didn't believe Luo Hong's nonsense.

Although the vassal states of the Unforgettable Violence only have temporary household registrations, as long as they have household registrations, they are essentially free citizens, and the demons would not be able to carry out large-scale massacres.

And she knows Zero.

When demons slaughter people in other people's territories, those people may have no way to call for help.

She can truly reach the ears of the heavens if anyone dares to slaughter those in her territory.

If the demons had any brains, they would never again harm the people who belonged to her territory.

However, Luo Hong presented this matter, which was something that had to be done anyway, as a special treatment given by the Demon Clan to the people of Buwangwei. This was not to whitewash the Demon Clan, but to help Buwangwei improve its status and create momentum.

Li Zhi naturally couldn't expose it.

She was just very curious about why Luo Hong had come to see her this time.

Luo Hong had sensed Li Zhi's arrival long ago.

When Li Zhi appeared, a natural smile appeared on her lips as she descended from the sky.

"Lord Li Zhi, on behalf of the Demon Clan, I congratulate you on becoming the top of the four rankings. This is my gift."

All eyes were focused on the box in Luo Hong's hand, which emitted blue, green, and purple magical light and was made of a special material that looked very valuable and of extremely high grade.

Luo Hong slowly opened it.

The true nature of what was inside was revealed.

The expressions on everyone's faces changed from anticipation and curiosity to suspicion and gossip.

"What is this? It doesn't look very fresh. Does anyone recognize it?"

"Are the demons here to cause trouble?"

"Humans and demons are inherently mortal enemies, so this is even better. Li Zhi shouldn't have accepted the gifts from the demons."

The whispers of humans could not escape the ears of any of the powerful figures present.

Li Zhi's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was calm: "I haven't been in Tianqi Continent for long, and I'm not very familiar with it yet. I've never seen this kind of fruit before, but there must be a reason why Lord Luo Hong chose it. May I know its function?"

Luo Hong: "Prolong life."

Li Zhi's eyelashes trembled.

Luo Hong: "This is the last and only Lalexi Fruit on the Tianqi Continent. Its efficacy has been reduced slightly due to long-term storage, but it can at least extend one's lifespan by one year."

Li Zhi gave Luo Hong authorization.

"Please come in."

Luo Hong's smile deepened considerably.

She walked to Li Zhi's side and walked with her inside, saying, "Although I said this Lalexi Fruit is the last one, there might actually be more deep in the resource area of ​​the North. If the Demon Clan's resource area is assigned to the North, I will send someone to help you look for it again."

Like old friends who haven't seen each other for years, she acted so naturally as if the pursuit of Li Zhi had never existed, and it seemed as if she had completely forgotten her previous confrontation with Celia about not being able to find the longevity-extending item.

Li Zhi echoed, "If that's the case, then I'll really have to trouble you. But you came to see me because..."

"Samsung costs five coins!!!"

"Li Zhi!!!"

A heart-wrenching roar suddenly came from behind.

She paused, then looked back.

A girl, her face flushed and streaked with tears and snot, cried out, "How can you laugh and talk so easily with a demon! Have you forgotten how many of us the demon's bloodthirsty spirit killed?! Can you forget even the hatred between our races for the sake of profit?!"

"I've always idolized you! I've always worshipped you! I've traveled through thousands of regions, spending all my money and items just to find you!"

"People are mocking me, calling me a brainless fan! And I'm even arguing with them in the chat!"

"I...I will never...never again—"

She choked back sobs, her chest heaving, crying uncontrollably until she could barely speak, and she nearly fainted.

Li Zhi looked at her quietly.

A face roughened by wind and rain, injured hands haphazardly wrapped in gauze, and eyes that were constantly shedding tears.

Stubborn, bright, and carrying a faint hope.

"I am not anyone's religion."

She said calmly, "I'm just a businesswoman."

Li Zhi, along with Luo Hong, disappeared from everyone's sight.

Inside the building and at the entrance, a momentary silence fell, as if time had stood still.

Someone spat at the ever-present danger barrier and left without looking back.

Some people silently shed tears, watching Li Zhi's departing figure.

Most people chose to remain silent.

They returned to the queue.

"Find your place" and "Try to survive" exchanged a glance.

He clenched his fist, taking it personally: "The boss isn't like that."

Greedy Pass lowered her head and said, "Even if Li Zhi is that kind of person, she is still my friend."

I was taken aback when I realized I was being described as such.

Tan Sheng Pass said softly, "Sanwu is not just Sanwu, and Li Zhi is not just Li Zhi. She is also a lord who does not forget danger, the backbone of more than two hundred people in the territory, the top of the four lists, and the hope of many people."

She once told me, "Things never truly end; only by becoming strong can you avoid being passive."

"That's right, Li Zhi is very strong, but that's only in our eyes."

"It seems that many people only see the halo of being at the top of the four lists, and that there seem to be many alien races standing behind her to support and protect her. But these people cannot see that when Li Zhi first saw the corpse, she also walked off the ship tremblingly. They cannot see that even when she was afraid, she would still pick out the Apocalypse Dust one by one from the hands of the dead. They cannot see how many life-and-death crises she experienced after walking out of the wilderness market."

"We are too weak."

"The weak should act like the weak, and the weak should strive to survive. Li Zhi is a strong person standing in front of us, but in front of other powerful alien races, she is just a weak person striving to survive."

"No matter what she does, she's still my friend."

He managed to wipe away the tears from his chin, clinging to life.

She took a deep breath and shouted to the people in line, "The number of authorized positions for Bu Wangwei is limited! Please line up properly! No cutting in line or pushing! The recruitment details will be released the day after tomorrow and will be posted in the Dongqi chat area. If you only need consultation or an interview, you can leave now!"

Li Zhi did not hear what Tan Sheng Pass said.

At times like this, she wouldn't go so far as to indulge in self-destructive behavior by opening her five senses to listen to how others were cursing her.

Perth carefully observed Li Zhi's expression, and looked at Luo Hong with great dissatisfaction, grinding his teeth as if he was about to pull out his hair dryer.

Shen also sneered: "Lord Luo Hong, you've brought out the only Lalexi Fruit of the Demon Clan. Such sincerity... I wonder what big business you have to discuss, that you'd show it off right here at the gates of Buwangwei."

Luo Hong sighed: "If I said I really didn't expect this outcome, you definitely wouldn't believe me, but it's true. You brought out the verification magic stone, and I said the same thing. Our demon race and your human race's official authorities have already cooperated quite a bit, and it's been quite pleasant. I really didn't think much about it at the time; I just wanted to show my sincerity and resolve our previous grievances."

"I apologize for everything I have done."

"And I can compensate you for your losses."
