Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Li knew nothing about what the authorities would think after seeing her message, but she didn't believe that all 200 spots the authorities asked for would be reserved for ordinary people.

She wants miners, not ancestors.

She first played the victim to establish the tone that she had to work hard to earn money, so as to prevent any relatives, second-generation rich kids, or illegitimate children from being sent to her.

But cooperation is still necessary.

The Tianqi Microdust project is too large for her to handle alone; finding a powerful partner is a necessary choice.

The official channels are her best, and perhaps only, choice.

There are three reasons:

First, the official organization is currently the largest and most powerful organization in human history, and Li Zhi needs the intelligence they provide.

Secondly, reselling is just a small business. If she wants to expand her business, she must find a suitable market, and currently the only one that can do that is through official channels.

Third, the Apocalypse Dust involves too many things and will inevitably cause many twists and turns in the future, and may even trigger racial conflicts. The official involvement is equivalent to setting up a line of defense in front of her.

But Li knew he couldn't let the authorities think they were his only option.

The authorities are unlikely to fully believe what she just said, but they will likely reopen the evaluation and weigh the benefits and risks of long-term cooperation.

The benefits are already laid out before us.

— News worth hundreds of millions.

The risks have already been laid bare.

—She rents out the safe zone to make money and pay off her debts, so we can't discuss this further if it blocks her path to wealth.

Between truth and falsehood, Li Zhi must exploit the information gap to gain the greatest benefit.

You and Security: [Comrade, we need to discuss this on our end. Please wait a moment.]

Bai Ge looked at the leader: "Samsung Wufei has already made plans for that piece of land, and they are not to be changed. Her attitude is very firm. Perhaps we can try to communicate with other people."

The commander's face was grim: "We've already had three rounds of communication. We just finished a meeting. All those people want is this largest safe zone."

Banling: "Haven't we found the top spot on the race's wealth list yet?"

Commander: "No."

Jiang You: "Finding them won't solve our problem. There are 9999 districts, and they've hidden their names. If they don't want to come out, they definitely won't. Besides, even if we find them, they might not cooperate. The race combat power ranking in district 816 doesn't even reply to messages."

Bai Ge: "The best solution now is to redistribute the safe zone slots. Samsung Wufei seems easy to talk to, but she is actually sharp and principled, so it is basically impossible to break through her side."

Jiang You: "This time I agree with Bai Ge. Samsung and Wufei have never suffered a loss when dealing with us. Sending a bunch of 'ancestors' over there is just asking for trouble. If she gets angry and kicks those 'ancestors' out, can you stop her?"

The commander's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot when he thought of that scene: "I'll think of a way. If there's any important news from Samsung Wufei, come find me immediately."

"Yes."

During the official discussions, Li Zhi arrived at a cloud mining area based on the aerial map.

But there are no clouds around here at all.

Li Zhi looked at the distant sun.

I feel like I'm overlooking something.

"Sanwu, what exactly are you looking for?"

The message "Pass for surviving" came from the channel.

This interrupted the flash of inspiration that had just appeared in Li Zhi's mind.

Li Zhi: "I'm looking for Yun."

Greedy for life passed: "How do you find the clouds? They drift around, sometimes there, sometimes not."

Li Zhi suddenly sat up straight.

She overlooked the characteristics of cloud mining!

Previously, she had focused all her attention on the word "mine" in Yunkuang.

It was only natural that I brought in my mindset from Earth.

Minerals are fixed.

That's why she wanted to find a fixed area to set up a safe zone for fishing cloud mining.

However, they overlooked the fact that clouds are not fixed.

The gathering and dispersal of clouds are completely beyond our control.

The special circumstances of the initial region also misled her.

In the initial region, it had become common knowledge or a habit that everyone could catch cloud ore every two hours. She had thought a lot about the differences between the initial region and the real continent of Qiyuan, but she had never thought about the changes in cloud ore.

No wonder the Feathered Spirits only set up patrol points and not mining areas; this is the reason.

Li Zhi slumped into the chair.

One hundred dense and one sparse.

The plan needs to be adjusted again.

She didn't stay discouraged for long.

In less than two seconds, he immediately got up and started thinking about a new plan.

Cloud formations are constantly changing, but there are always places and times when clouds are more likely to gather.

For example, tropical regions, the summer rainy season, or the sea of ​​clouds caused by the uplift of mountains.

She can't choose the region right now, and the season is uncontrollable, but the terrain is selectable and controllable.

When she looked down from the cabin earlier, she saw a range of mountains, one of which, towering into the clouds, perfectly matched the requirements.

If the clouds don't come to her, she will go to the clouds.

Establishing a safe zone near mountains and setting up ground-based combustion furnaces on windward slopes can generate heat that, combined with the lifting effect of the mountain terrain, can artificially create cloud formations.

Although not very stable, it is a continuous source of resources.

In the long run, this approach is actually more profitable and more controllable than the previous plan.

Most importantly, she originally planned to set up the 600 square meters in the air, mountains, and plains.

This creates a connection between the high altitude, mountains, and plains, making it convenient for her to patrol at any time.

The only trouble with the change of plans is finding a reliable person to help her manage and guard the safe zone.

When flying out to fish for cloud minerals, this person needs to be able to calmly deal with other races that may appear.

Within the safe zone, this person is also needed to manage the miners.

Li Zhi's gaze involuntarily drifted to the airship behind them. While pondering how to persuade them to agree to the request, he set the coordinates of the autopilot to the coordinates of the previous wooden house.

"Three or five? Feed? Three or five?"

"Why did she turn around?"

"There might be something going on up ahead."

Li Zhi: "Nothing's wrong, it's just that my plans have changed. I'm thinking of moving the safe zone to another location. What are your plans?"

The survivalist passed: "We were just about to tell you about this!"

The European Emperor seemed to be carefully choosing his words, speaking slowly: "We'd like to discuss with you whether we can pay a rental fee so that our airships can hover within your safe zone most of the time."

Teacher Hao: "Or if you want other resources, I can help you find them."

Li Zhi almost couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips. "Why do we need to talk about these things among ourselves? You can all stay in my safe zone if you want."

Greedy for Life: "Didn't you say before that even brothers should keep clear accounts?"

Li Zhi: "Of course, brothers should keep clear accounts, but we're sisters! We're best sisters who've been through thick and thin together!"

Greedy for Life pass: "...That seems to be true."
