Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Unlike orcs, it does not have human facial features.

Instead, it retains its original appearance, short in stature and fluffy, much like the talking lop-eared rabbit in the AI ​​animation on Earth.

When he saw Li Zhi looking over, he shuddered, and his fur stood on end.

But soon, it landed obediently again.

Fearful tears welled in the lop-eared rabbit's ruby-like eyes, and its voice was small and trembling: "R-Respected sir, may I ask if...can I exchange Cleansing Grass for salt?"

Li Zhi's eyes lit up.

Although she listed many spaceship materials that could be exchanged for money, the spaceship materials obtained through bartering were still very few.

The only item that reached its maximum value was wood.

Some orcs even traveled long distances to go home to retrieve them.

This resulted in the amount of wood in her backpack reaching an extremely considerable level.

Although these timbers could later be traded with other humans.

But she quickly adjusted the timber price.

This is why the orcs traded more than just timber for salt with her.

They exchanged some other materials.

However, there are still several items that have never appeared before, and the pure velvet grass is one of them.

"Of course." Li Zhi pointed to the scale: "Give me the grass, and I'll see how much salt I can get in return."

In the upgrade details for the airship, each required item is only listed by name, without any specific description.

Li Zhicai can only view information about items he draws from the deck; he has no way of knowing the specific value of items he hasn't obtained.

That's why she listed these items without specifying prices.

Because she also needs to know how much these things are worth from a fair scale before she can determine how much she can earn.

Caramel Lop-eared Rabbit tiptoed and handed over a straw basket.

Li Zhi was taken aback, only then realizing that under the fluffy belly of the lop-eared rabbit, there were several smaller lop-eared rabbits hidden.

The little lop-eared rabbit huddled together with the caramel lop-eared rabbit's legs, and when it suddenly met Li Zhi's gaze, it shrank back into its fur in fright.

Caramel Lop Rabbit was also startled and immediately squatted down to protect the three little lop-eared rabbits under her body, tears welling up in her eyes.

"...My younger siblings are still young, they can't be sold yet."

Li Zhi's stunned expression turned even more astonished.

"sell?"

Just then, the fox-girl came over and handed the ore in her hand to Li Zhi: "Is this the red ore you wanted?"

As she spoke, she casually glanced at the lop-eared rabbits and said, "These Rong tribes are all slaves and cannot automatically gather into groups. If there are more than five, they need to be broken up and sold. But this litter hasn't grown up yet. If you want, you can probably talk to the Rong tribe chief and buy one, but the survival rate is not high."

As the fox girl spoke, the Caramel Lop-Eared Rabbit lay on the ground, trembling all over.

But they dared not run away, nor did they dare to make any unnecessary movements.

Li Zhi frowned slightly.

She pursed her lips: "I don't want it."

Picking up the grass frame from the ground, Li Zhi poured the velvet grass onto the scale, and the screen quickly displayed an introduction.

【Pure Velvet: Produced by the Velvet tribe, after being processed into pure velvet fibers, it has excellent sealing performance and is the top material for the Flying Boat sealing system.】

Li Zhi opened the flying boat upgrade details to check the required amount of clean downy grass fiber.

Upgrading from a floating cabin to a flying boat requires 10 units of clean grass fiber or 20 units of rubber tree sap.

Li Zhi: "Do you process clean grass into clean grass fiber?"

The lop-eared rabbit lay on the ground and waited for a while before cautiously raising its head: "Are you asking me, sir?"

"right."

The lop-eared rabbit's bright red eyes lit up: "Yes! I can! My dad, mom, the chief, and my aunts, sisters, brothers, and brothers—our whole tribe can!"

Li Zhi nodded: "Wait a moment, let me estimate the value. We can sign a contract. Next time you trade me 10 units of pure downy grass fiber, I..."

She paused, glancing at the various orcs around her with differing expressions, and said calmly, "Let's discuss the price again."

The lop-eared rabbit's excited expression instantly vanished.

But he remained respectfully prostrate on the ground: "We will definitely deliver the clean downy grass fiber you requested on time."

The lop-eared rabbit waited to the side.

The fox-girl asked curiously, "What's the use of Pure Flesh Grass? Isn't it just the grass that the Flesh Tribe uses to build their nests?"

Li Zhi placed the red ore on the fair scale.

[Red Ore: A specialty of the Rock Nest Clan, it can only be found in special red ore mines. Combined with the Rock Nest Clan's unique ancient quenching techniques, it can increase the metal's toughness by 20% to 50%.]

A fair scale never displays the value of an item.

It is negotiated solely by the two parties involved in the transaction.

When Li Zhi drew red ore in the deck, she thought that this ore should be very valuable, but she did not expect that the value of this ore was even higher than she imagined.

What does a 20% increase in metal toughness mean?

If we were still on Earth.

This technology could almost reshape the physical world, instantly becoming a national strategic secret!

It cannot be measured by monetary value alone.

Even in this world, without knowing the level of technology here, Li Zhi was certain that the value and potential of the red ore were enormous.

She calmly put away the red ore: "I can pay you for the red ore at 0.1 units per copper."

"Then these can be exchanged for... 70 copper coins!" The fox girl counted on her fingers, her eyes lighting up. "They're actually worth that much?!"

In this world, 1 unit is approximately equal to 1 jin (500 grams) of Earth.

The red ore delivered by the fox girl weighed a full 7 jin (approximately 3 catties).

The fox-girl agreed to the deal without hesitation.

After the transaction, Li Zhi had very little salt left.

Previously, I was also in the D brand.

[Five-pack Sour Soup Beef Instant Noodles] [1.5L Water] [5kg Rice] [250g Salt] [1 Unit Heat-Resistant Alloy]

Finally, we have salt!

Moreover, the instant noodles, water, and rice are all in large quantities, so if you use them sparingly, they can last for a week. All together, it's only 9 copper coins, which is quite a good deal.

Take them all!

Click.

[1 unit of rubber tree sap] [1 can of luncheon meat] [0.1 unit of Apocalypse Dust] [0.1 unit of Apocalypse Dust] [Copy Card]

Apocalyptic Dust!

Copy cards!

We've got it!

[A pair of sneakers] [550ml of cola] [250g of salt] [Airship upgrade blueprint] [1 head of cabbage]

The flying boat blueprint costs 15 copper, but it's essential for upgrading the wooden house.

After buying them all, Li Zhi played the D card again:

[Windproof Furnace] [Intermediate Copy Card] [1 Unit Heat-Resistant Alloy] [0.1 Unit Apocalypse Dust] [1 Unit Fresh Wild Beef]

Intermediate card copying!

Li Zhi couldn't wait to take it down and check the details.

[Intermediate Copy Card: Can copy cards containing 10 or less copper coins (Some stingy people... you know what I'm going to say without me saying it)]

Li Zhi's breath hitched.

Does this mean that her original card can also be copied?

If possible, she only needs to obtain one more Origin Card or Intermediate Copy Card to upgrade!

Li Zhi carefully put it back into his backpack, suppressing his excitement as he played the D card again.

Card--

Why is the talent bar grayed out?

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment.

He quickly remembered that his previous experiment had been interrupted by trading and job changes, and he had forgotten to check the results.

Player attributes: [Spirit: 0/10]

Li Zhigang felt relieved, but soon his worries resurfaced.

Will my stamina be fully restored by the next day?

Before the upgrade, will we only be able to refresh 10 times?

If we speculate based on the game mechanics of Blue Star, then the spirit should be fully restored by the second day to fit the game mechanics.

But this isn't Earth.

Li Zhi didn't continue thinking about it.

What's done is done, there's no use worrying about it anymore.

Thinking about it further will only increase anxiety, consume energy, and impair judgment.

She is now in a strange and dangerous environment and must keep herself in top condition to deal with any unexpected situations.

Li Zhi quickly shifted his attention to the impatient merman beside him: "Sir, we can sign the contract now."

The fishman snorted coldly, carefully examined the inscription on the scales of justice, and wrote his name after a long time.

A simplified electronic contract appears simultaneously on both screens of the fair scale:

Forward contract takes effect

Date: Within 10 days

Parties A and B: Li Zhi; Tu.

Transaction details: Tu will purchase two anti-inflammatory pills from Li Zhi with a deposit of 50 copper coins and a final payment of 150 copper coins.

Party A: Li Zhi

Party B: Tu

Li Zhi didn't expect that he would sign a contract on his very first day in the survival world, and it was a long-term contract at that.

—She originally intended to renege on the debt.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with defaulting on her debt.

Forced transactions inherently lack fairness and respect.

If she couldn't beat them, she could only try to stall them before running away.

This is currently the most suitable strategy.

But the market here is bigger than she imagined.

In addition, the presence of redstone ore and pure grass fiber, and the fact that the murlocs, despite their grim expressions, stood there the whole time, deterring many troublemakers, could be considered a help to her.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Zhi decided to fulfill the contract.

only……

The deposit has been revised.

I intend to leave room for negotiation.

To my surprise, Tu signed it right away.

Li Zhi strongly suspected that Tu's initial refusal was actually due to a lack of funds.

But regardless of whether it is true or not, she doesn't want to be coerced anymore.

She needs to improve her strength before coming back next time.

The only solution at present is to obtain another original card.

For matters left to fate, Li Zhi could only pray and refresh the page multiple times, hoping to gamble on the odds.

God help her, she really wants to improve.
