Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Li Zhi did not rush to make a choice, but carefully considered and weighed the options.

Both using a public and a hidden nickname have their advantages and disadvantages.

In business, the most important thing is to gain people's trust.

However, it is difficult for strangers to trust each other when they are complete strangers.

At this point, having someone endorse you and being able to promote yourself becomes very important.

If nicknames are used publicly, the list becomes the most authoritative endorsement and the most persuasive sales pitch, greatly facilitating cooperation.

However, using a nickname can also be dangerous.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

Before the wealth ranking was established, some people clamored for the official organization to pull out those who sold blueprints and those in the group and divide the wealth equally. Now that there is a wealth ranking and a clear target, these people will only become more envious.

But Li Zhi wasn't worried about these people.

A dog that bites doesn't bark.

The louder they shout online, the weaker they often are in reality.

What she was worried about were those people hiding in the shadows.

Li Zhi just checked and found that although he was already at D2 and had added points to strength and speed, he was only ranked 12th in the regional combat power rankings, and in the race rankings, he was ranked over a thousandth.

This is perfectly normal.

Li Zhi had realized that someone might have brought in firearms, and he knew that his combat strength was probably not among the top.

She now understood why the [Discarded Dagger of the Forging Clan] and [Discarded Crossbow of the Forging Clan] that she had obtained were discarded.

In this world, most equipment has attributes that can provide bonuses to its owner.

For example, the three gems on Riley's head each added to her health, spirit, and speed, and her expensive-looking robe had a defense of up to 200!

What does 200 defense points mean?

— Li Zhi's total health is only 18.9.

She and Riley were beaten together; even if ten of her were killed, they still couldn't break through Riley's defenses.

That's why Celia and the others said they were going to lure the sea worms away that day.

She thought they were too small to be even a sea worm to fill a tooth gap.

In reality, while the defensive equipment worn by these forging merchants wasn't as good as Riley's, it was still enough to hold out for a while.

And she was the weakest of them all.

Throwing them out would mean certain death, but keeping them alive would at least allow them to cling to the protective shield, preventing those damned, disgusting insects from touching their noble princess.

Of course, these are all just Li Zhi's speculations.

Because she couldn't understand why Celia hadn't thrown her out to her death back then.

In short, the fact that the daggers and crossbows discarded by the Forging Clan do not have attribute bonuses does not mean that the weapons they brought to the Apocalypse Continent also do not.

The list also proves this point.

At least a small group of people have weapons that give them an overall combat advantage.

Otherwise, as the first and perhaps only human to upgrade, even though he put more attribute points into his mental strength, Li Zhi did not believe that his combat power was even in the top ten in the region.

Surely it's not like all the peak humans with base speed and strength attributes of 10 are clustered together in District 15, right?

Li Zhi's thoughts jumped around, but his eyes were fixed on the two dialog boxes in front of him.

She suddenly asked, "Is it necessary to choose a specific location for a protected area?"

【Yes】

Upon seeing the game's answer, Li Zhi immediately asked, "Can the two protected areas be selected separately?"

【Yes】

How do we define a specific location?

【coordinate】

"What about movable coordinates?"

[Movable coordinates cannot enter other sovereign territories, and the area designated as a protected zone must be reduced by 30%]

"If I designate my spaceship as my protected area, but it doesn't currently have 210 square meters, will the extra square meters be used to demarcate the area around the spaceship as a protected zone?"

【meeting】

Li Zhi said without hesitation: "For the regional wealth ranking, I choose my flying boat."

[Reserve area coordinates being generated—]

[Movement coordinates successfully generated; protected area successfully delineated]

[Whether to publicly disclose the nicknames of players on the regional wealth ranking]

Li Zhi pondered, "The racial wealth ranking allows for the allocation of one acre of land. Does this mean it must be a whole plot, or can it be allocated in smaller portions?"

Separate delineation will reduce the protected area by 10%.

Li Zhi made the final decision: "I choose to publicly disclose the nicknames of the regional wealth rankings and conceal the nicknames of the racial regional wealth rankings."

She is currently in the early stages of starting her business and needs a boyfriend to attract partners.

While regional wealth rankings are certainly enviable within a region, with the opening of regional listings, there are a total of 38000 regions, which means there are 38000 regional top rankings.

She was hidden among them, inconspicuous.

Furthermore, the protected areas for the racial wealth ranking can be separated.

This will make it easier for her to plan for the future and will also make it less likely for people to doubt her identity.

[Nicknames of publicly disclosed regional wealth rankings]

The moment the chat window popped up, Li Zhi's friend messages exploded, especially in the 188 group:

Survival pass: [The big shot is right next to me?!]

Give me a piece of paper: [Did this guy even sell me cold medicine?]

AAA professional boosting expert Hao Shi: [Congratulations to @GiveMeBackMy3Star5Fel!!! Also congratulations to @TitaniumAlloy'sBetaPhaseGrainSizeExceedsStandard @AAA'sNumberOneLuckyPlayer]

You are safe: [Congratulations to @GiveMeBackMySamsungFiveFees!! Also congratulations to @TitaniumAlloyβPhaseGrainSizeExceedsStandard @AAAFirstEuropean]

Greedy pass: [Congratulations to @GiveMeBackMySamsungFiveFee!!! Also congratulations to @TitaniumAlloyβPhaseGrainSizeExceedsStandard @AAAFirstLuckyEmperor]

Give me a piece of paper: [We have three people in the top ten of the wealth rankings in our group!]

Magician: [I'm so curious @GiveMeBackMy3Star5Fellowship!!! How much money does it take to be number one on the wealth list?]

Call Me Phoenix Aotian: [Why are you so curious?]

Magician: [You disagree?]

Call me Feng Aotian: [Heh, don't let me see you in the trial area again.]

Give me a piece of paper: [@Give me back my 3-star 5-star rating!!! @Titanium alloy β-phase grain size exceeds standard @AAA first-rate lucky player, why don't the big shots say anything?]

Li Zhi wasn't unwilling to talk; rather, her friend requests had flooded in, and she was setting her settings to reject unwanted friend requests.

You are safe: [First of all, on behalf of the organization, congratulations on achieving first place on the wealth ranking. We also remind you to protect your assets and your life. The points shop now offers weapons with attribute bonuses; you can redeem them with your points if needed. You can also seek help from the organization if you encounter any problems.]

Li Zhi didn't understand what you meant by "you are safe" at first.

Then the message popped up saying "Survival Pass": "[That guy on the regional combat power ranking is a complete lunatic! What does our money have to do with him?! He even puts a bounty on our coordinates to rob us! It's infuriating!]"

Li Zhi then opened the area chat:

Seven out of the top ten on the wealth list don't hide their names, they seem very confident. I'm now offering a 100-copper bounty on their coordinates and sincerely invite the top thirty on the combat power list to join me in this raid. If we succeed, we'll distribute the spoils according to our contributions.
