Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

The mountainside was quiet; no one dared to speak.

Li Zhi took out oatmeal, beef, and vegetables from his spatial backpack and casually changed the subject:

"Today is everyone's first day at work, so let's have something nice to welcome you. Does anyone know how to cook?"

The workers, who were initially fearful, nervous, and even hesitant, suddenly had their eyes light up and their throats bob when they saw the food piled up next to Li Zhi's legs.

There was also a clear sound of swallowing saliva.

Those who choose to fish for cloud ore are mostly those who are not strong enough to fight or cannot survive on their own. During the first three days of training, they have hardly eaten their fill, and some have even been hungry for more than 24 hours.

Now, plump oats, fresh beef, and vibrant green vegetables are right in front of you.

They could no longer bring themselves to leave.

People eagerly signed up and raised their hands:

"Boss! I can cook! I worked in the dry canteen on Earth!"

"My family runs a restaurant business! We own three chain stores!"

"Yes, boss! I'm an amazing cook! I'm a food blogger! I know a little bit about food from all over the world!"

Li Zhi: "To prepare dinner for 152 people, oatmeal, beef, and vegetable porridge, how much oatmeal, beef, and vegetables do you need?"

The newly registered people lowered their heads and started calculating.

The person in the restaurant business raised their hand: "Boss, could I know approximately how many grams of oatmeal a person should eat per meal?"

Others also looked over.

Someone muttered, "Is that even a question?"

Li Zhi: "According to the standard of 30g per person."

"Then make it with 9 catties of oats, 9 catties of beef and 10 catties of vegetables. The extra can be used to make rice, and it won't spoil in this kind of weather."

"Why do we need so much meat!" The cafeteria auntie immediately said, "Oatmeal porridge is very filling, and it also contains meat and vegetables. 8 pounds of oatmeal, 5 pounds of beef, and 5 pounds of vegetables is just right."

Li Zhi looked at the girl who said she was a food blogger.

She looked to be in her early twenties, very efficient, with a slightly nervous expression but also a sense of recklessness: "I think 9 pounds of oats, 5 pounds of beef, and 6 pounds of vegetables would be best!"

Li Zhi: "Great, you'll be the head chef, and the other two will assist you."

The girl was startled, her face flushing with excitement. "I'll definitely do my best!"

Li Zhi handed her the things and glanced at the people who had taken their seats: "Let's go upstairs for a meeting."

Tan Sheng nervously looked at Ou Huang and Teacher Hao.

The two pretended not to see anything and followed Li Zhi upstairs.

It was supposed to be a meeting, but it was really just taking place on the terrace.

Li Zhi found a sofa to sit down, only to find that the others were still standing.

"What are you still standing for? Sit down."

He immediately sat down next to her, taking his place.

Greedy Pass pursed her lips and swiftly sat down on the other side of Li Zhi.

Both the lucky one and Master Hao randomly picked a chair.

Li Zhi: "From now on, we will be divided into three departments: security, finance, and administration."

"My idea is that security will be handled by Duihaoruzuo and Haoshi, and the two of you can take turns on duty. Finances will be managed by Ouhuang, including food distribution and storage in the kitchen. Administration will be handled by Tansheng Pass, mainly coordinating the other two departments."

Teacher Hao: "I'm fine."

"No problem, no problem!" (This is a direct quote from a user.)

Li Zhi: "You can select suitable candidates from these workers and train them. Once they are trained, your job will be easier."

"Hehe, I actually thought the guy in charge of the kitchen was pretty good. He's bold, dares to ask questions and do things, and he's neither too fat nor too thin, he looks healthy."

Li Zhi: "Then you can communicate with her and see what she wants to do."

She then looked at the person who had passed the survival test: "Your task for the next two days is to observe these people and give them ratings as excellent, good, qualified, or unqualified. I will use these ratings to select this group of people, while continuing to recruit and replenish the workforce to two hundred people within three days."

The man who had been trying to survive sat up straight: "Okay!"

Li Zhi directly transferred 50 gold coins to the Emperor of Europe: "I'll be troubling you with the mobilization of funds and procurement in all aspects."

The European Emperor stared incredulously at the suddenly increased balance in his account: "You just gave it to me directly?"

Li Zhi: "Otherwise what?"

The European Emperor gave a thumbs up: "Magnificent."

Li Zhi stood up: "That's all for now, I have something to do—"

"etc!"

Li Zhi looked at the greedy student who had passed: "Is there anything else?"

She immediately turned to look in the direction of the cafeteria: "I just wanted to ask you, why did you choose that young girl to manage the kitchen instead of that cafeteria lady? Is there some special advantage she has that I haven't noticed...?"

Li Zhi: "No."

The survivor, who had passed the test, was taken aback and turned around: "Huh?"

Li Zhi: "I chose her because I find her pleasing to the eye."

GreedyPass: "What if she's not suitable?"

Li Zhi didn't seem to care much and said, "Then let's choose another one."

"But the other two are clearly more experienced..." (Tan Sheng passed)

Li Zhi: "So-called experience is hard to distinguish between true and false when background checks are not possible."

"Besides, it's the boss's privilege to give opportunities to whoever he likes. It's just a meal. Even if it's not done well, it's not a loss at all. I only care about the results."

Seeing the message flashing on the panel, Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "I have something to do. Call me when it's time to eat."

She didn't go back to her room, but instead returned to the airship, hovered it beside the terrace of her dormitory room, and lay down on the bed in the airship room.

You are safe: [We have investigated today's events. One of our colleagues, seeing that the team wasn't full, added other people without authorization. Our leader has already dismissed him from our group. You will be compensated with 100 units of random energy, one piece of equipment with 5 attribute points or less, and priority access to the latest technology from the Dongqi Research Institute. Finally, our Finance Minister has personally ordered the planned addition of 500 mining areas to be increased to 800!]

Li Zhi saw the exclamation mark at the end.

You could roughly tell how excited the other side was.

To be honest, the official compensation is quite generous.

But it's still far from enough compared to what she wants.

Give me back my Samsung Five Fee!!! : [I demand that at least 9999 mining areas be opened throughout Dongqi, and that the previous 1% mineral resources be increased to 2%.]

You are safe: [Comrade Samsung Five-Fee, forgive my bluntness... but your request is almost impossible to fulfill.]

Jiang You was packing his things when he saw the chat history. He sneered, "I told you long ago, there's no need to appease this three-star five-cost guy. He's just a shrewd, greedy little man who got rich by luck. I'm running away first. I suggest you find a way to run away as soon as possible."

He carried the box to another area, but glanced at the chat box out of the corner of his eye.

Give me back my 3-star, 5-cost coin!!! : [Take a look at this first before you comment.]

[Give me back my Samsung 5-star service!!! A microcrystalline energy converter instruction manual has been sent to you. Do you wish to receive it?]

For some reason, looking at this line of text made Bai Ge feel her heart beating faster.

"Check your mail!"

[The microcrystalline energy converter instruction manual has been received. Would you like to view it immediately?]
