Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

The chieftain of the Bull Tribe was even stronger and taller.

She appeared with a hearty laugh, carrying a sack of unloaded grain on her shoulder, her features simple and honest.

Li Zhi repeated what he wanted to buy and said, "If possible, I hope we can cooperate long-term and trade at the Nonglv Market. I can pick up the goods myself."

"That's wonderful." The chieftain of the Bull Tribe introduced himself, "I'm Newsie, what's your name?"

"Li Zhi".

"Li Zhi, from now on you are a friend of my Bull Clan."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "It's an honor to be a friend of the Bull Clan. Let's talk about the price."

New Zealand looked at the Minotaur woman from before: "Didn't you tell her the price?"

Woman: "I said that barbecue is 32 coppers per unit and smoked sausage is 38 coppers per unit."

New Zealand: "Yes, that's a very reasonable price."

Li Zhi: "If we want to cooperate long-term, I hope the price can be reduced a bit."

New Zealand: "We can't go any lower. We just gave the Feathered Spirits a batch of meat and grains as tribute, and we don't have much food left. We also need to use the money we earn to buy weapons and farm tools for the Smelting and Forging Clan. We really can't lower the price any further."

Li Zhi: "We can sign a contract. I guarantee to pick up a batch of goods every 5 days, with each batch containing no less than 500 units of grain, no less than 200 units of meat, and no less than 100 units of vegetables. A 30% deposit will be paid in advance for each pickup. We will sign the contract based on a 30-day transaction cycle."

New Zealand stamped its feet twice, glanced at Li Zhi, and pretended to pace: "If it's a long-term cooperation like this, we can indeed lower the price a bit, but we can't lower it too much, after all, we don't have much food left."

Li Zhi: "At the Nonglu Market, the average price of vegetables is 6 copper coins per unit, meat is 20 copper coins per unit, and for grains, oats are generally 5 copper coins per unit, rye flour is 6 copper coins per unit, and there's also wine..."

Li Zhi recited the prices he had found in the information hall one by one.

Newsy's steps grew smaller and smaller.

Li Zhi: "I hope to purchase at 8% of the market price, which is a reasonable price. As you know, Chief Nusi, the Green Market is not only sold by the Bull Tribe. I came to you because I share the same spirit of contract with the Bull Tribe and we both respect food."

New Zealand paused: "We're really not making enough money on food alone. If you're willing to buy some bezoars and leather, I think we can reach an agreement."

"Also 8% off?"

New Zealand sighed, "Business has been slow lately, so let's leave it at that."

She pulled out the contract. "Take a look, is there anything that needs to be changed?"

李知接过，确定食物数值无误，扫过「每次必须连带购买10单位药用牛黄（50铜1单位）和10件皮衣（15铜1件）」，签下了名字。

"My friend, I will have your goods brought here right now."

The Bull Tribe members are all very strong. Before long, the 500 units of oats, 500 units of rye flour, 200 units of vegetables, and 300 units of beef that Li Zhi requested were all brought over.

Li Zhi also asked for 100 units each of the remaining roast meat, smoked sausage, ale, cheese, and butter.

按照谈好的八折，分别是燕麦2000铜、牛肉4800铜、黑麦2400铜、蔬菜960铜，再加上麦酒1600、烤肉2240、熏肠2400，黄油加乳酪2880。

In total, there are 1 gold, 9 silver, and 280 copper.

But in addition to that, you also need to add the medicinal bezoar and leather clothing from the Minotaur tribe, totaling 650 copper coins.

The final settlement amount was: 1 gold, 9 silver, and 930 copper.

Cash on delivery.

Li Zhi put all his belongings into the spatial button, added Newxi as a friend, and headed to his next destination: the Tree Man Stronghold.

The main reason for seeking out the tree people was to buy timber for fuel.

She only had enough fuel for her airship; she still needed to prepare fuel for the fishing boat and the safe zone dormitory.

Moreover, with the presence of the Bloodlust Spirit, it's definitely better to stockpile as much fuel as possible.

As Li Zhi walked, he put all the items he had just purchased from the Minotaur Clan on his online store.

She sold essential food items like oats, rye flour, and vegetables at ten times the purchase price.

Foods that enhance quality, such as cheese, butter, beef, and smoked sausage, saw their prices increase by 15 times.

Ale spirits saw the biggest price increase.

In the dead of winter, wine is not just food; sometimes it is a strategic resource.

—She multiplied it 30 times.

After listing the new products, Li Zhi discovered that she had actually sold two orders of her fast-growing mushrooms, and her professional experience had reached (12/20).

Before I could even close the store page, two more messages popped up:

【匿名玩家购买了5单位燕麦、5单位牛肉、3单位蔬菜、1单位乳酪、1单位麦酒，已完成交易】

[Your online store has completed a multi-category transaction, experience +2]

Two more experience points.

This is also why she launches new products so quickly.

Li Zhi discovered that professional ranks were more important than she had imagined.

It's not just an entry requirement for certain trading zones, but also a credential for obtaining access to the teleportation arrays in the four major regions, and it's even related to the location of her future shop.

Li Zhi looked up at the enormous aerial city where light and shadow intertwined.

Whether it's the light and shadow train shuttling through the teleportation array in the shadows, or the elegant and beautiful garden on the white floating island, every place exudes a sense of prosperity and tranquility.

The business she wants to do in the future must be based in a completely safe and neutral location.

Saint Film City is the best choice.

She was determined to gain entry to Saint Shadow City no matter what.

Li Zhi withdrew his gaze and plunged into the Tree People's stronghold without looking back.

The timber acquisition went very smoothly. She purchased 5 units of timber at a price of 50 silver coins each, and because she couldn't fit all the buttons in the box, she arranged to come back the next day to pick up another batch, and even signed a contract.

Celia had just finished her own business and came to meet Li Zhihe. Seeing that she had purchased so much timber, she understood why.

"Are you stockpiling fuel for your fellow citizens?"

Li Zhigang placed the wood into the spatial buttons in units of 1.

Hearing this, she looked up, still slightly bewildered: "What did you say?"

Celia: "Even though the extreme cold is coming, you don't need this much wood for yourself. If it's not stockpiled for your people, are you planning to use it yourself?"

Li Zhi nodded firmly, his face full of righteousness: "You're right, I prepared this for my compatriots. A cold wave is coming soon, how can I bear to let my compatriots suffer from the cold and hunger?"

"By the way, Celia, I'm running low on money because I've been stockpiling wood and food. Could you recommend a skilled but inexpensive airship engineer?"

"Ideally, my airship's hull would be completely upgraded with the best thermal insulation materials. My budget is only around 20 gold coins. Perhaps you could sponsor me some materials?"
