Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

The sky gradually darkened.

The restaurant was even quieter than at night.

Everyone lowered their heads, silent as if trembling in fear.

Wherever Li Zhi's gaze swept, people held their breath.

The silence was broken only by the sound of night bats flapping their wings. Some people looked panicked, and others looked outside instinctively, but no one dared to speak.

Li Zhi: "The safe zone is equipped with bat-repelling devices and bird-repelling devices. As long as you don't leave the outer 100-meter range, there won't be any problems."

Someone instinctively asked, "Really?"

After asking the question, he covered his mouth with a look of regret.

Li Zhi: "You'll find out when you wake up tomorrow morning. You can go back to your dorms now."

She looked at Aunt Zhang, who had been fired, and said, "It's very late today. Someone will take you home tomorrow."

Then he looked at the aunt surnamed Sun and said, "You'll be in charge of tomorrow's breakfast."

Before the two could react, she left the cafeteria first, and the others followed closely behind, taking their assigned seats.

The workers breathed a sigh of relief once they had all left.

But few people went upstairs; instead, they watched in fear as the night bats circled outside.

Everyone remembers the heart-stopping fear of last night, and the despair and terror of watching the chat area numbers keep dropping while they could only cower in a corner, resigned to their fate.

The last ray of light disappeared.

The circling night bats swooped down, blotting out the sky.

Someone exclaimed in surprise, and someone hid in the corner of the wall and under the table.

Some people stared wide-eyed at the outside.

"They...they really didn't come!"

The man's voice grew louder and louder until it became almost frantic.

Others also peeked out, crowding around the windows and doors to look outside. Seeing the night bats fall or fly away, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Really!"

Some people wept with joy: "I'm finally safe..."

Some were filled with regret: "I can't leave... I absolutely can't leave!"

All of this was within Li Zhi's expectations.

She has now returned to the airship and is preparing the D-card and the raw materials for synthesis.

She absolutely cannot waste a single spirit point.

Click.

[Airship blueprints] [1 set of polar cold-weather clothing] [1 regional visa] [1 energy coin] [1 box of gastrointestinal medicine]

Neither good nor bad.

Li Zhi won all the cards and got a D card again.

[1 bottle of multivitamins] [Grade D firearm] [950g frozen dumplings] [Berserk (one-time talent)] [Duplicate card]

Li Zhi's eyes lit up.

After purchasing everything, check the detailed information for the D-grade Fire Source Gun and Berserk (one-time talent).

D-grade firearm

Grade: D

Category: Weapons

Attribute: Fire

Energy source: Fire crystal

Note: Adds 5 points to overall combat power.

Weapons that enhance overall combat effectiveness!

This was her first time getting a D!

Li Zhi was ecstatic.

He jumped up and down several times, then immediately sent a message to Celia.

[My dearest Celia, even though we just parted, I already miss you and look forward to seeing you again. It would be even better if you could bring a fire crystal as a gift when we meet~]

[Fire Crystal 1 Silver Coin, Transfer]

[I'd like to take more at a 9% discount.]

How much do you want?

[100 pieces, please.]

[ha]

Li Zhi seemed to see Celia's eyes crinkled together, but there was no hint of a smile in her mocking expression.

[Those 200 coins, 150 silver.]

She remembered that the market price of fire crystals was indeed around 1 silver coin each, but fire crystals were produced by the Forging Clan, and the price within the Forging Clan was at least half off.

[Minimum 180]

[Then 160 it is. You threatened me last time...]

[If someone threatens me and says they'll give me nearly 400 gold worth of raw materials, I'd be willing to be threatened. That's enough to rob 100 Shadowmane Clan members. And how much did you pay me for the bid? Think about it again.]

[That 170.]

[190, take it or leave it]

Li Zhi regretted it.

You're so sharp-tongued!

Which pot does not open which pot.

but……

[My dear Celia, you wouldn't give your dear partner a fire crystal that could explode, would you?]

[Thanks for the reminder]

Li Zhi quickly forwarded the message 190, then changed the subject: "[You haven't sent me the coordinates yet. I'm leaving tomorrow.]"

Her airship needed to be modified, so she had to first sail to Master Sivir's territory. She had already arranged a meeting place with Celia.

Celia quickly accepted the transfer and sent over a string of addresses.

Li Zhi went downstairs, entered the address into the navigation, and then returned to bed.

This dog game—

However, I really should learn some fighting skills.

But who should I learn from?

While searching, Li Zhi drew cards twice more, but there were no surprises. She had 15 points of mental energy left, which she used to synthesize Apocalypse Dust.

First, turn the Apocalypse Dust into cards.

Li Zhi discovered that the limits of carding each type of raw material were different.

If it's a basic raw material like wood, she can card up to 1000 units at once, and it only deducts 1 point of spirit.

However, if it's an energy source like crystals, 1 point of mental energy can only be converted into 100 cards.

Tianqi Microdust also belongs to the energy category.

Li Zhi's 15 points of spirit were converted into 1500 units of Apocalypse Dust.

Of the 2176 Apocalypse Dust particles stolen from Wu Yin, 676 remain uncarded. Adding the 311 particles he acquired himself, he has a total of 987 particles.

Li Zhi drank a bottle of energy supplement.

With 10 points of sanity restored, and all 987 Apocalypse Dust particles converted into cards, half of today's task will be complete.

Next, she still needs to synthesize the Apocalypse Dust into Apocalypse Crystals.

Fortunately, the synthesis does not require mental energy; it only requires combining three at a time, which tests one's patience.

When Li Zhicheng obtained the 12th Apocalypse Crystal, his career panel and an urgent message saying "You are safe" popped up simultaneously.

After turning off the "You're safe" message, Li Zhi looked at the career panel.

[The blacklisted shop has been upgraded]

[Shop: Blacklisted Shop]

[Businessman: Li Zhi]

Shop Level: 2 (0/100)

[Shop Anchor Points: 1. Wilderness Market; 2. Black Iron Harbor; 3. Lush Green Market; 4. (+)]

[Shop Status: Free Stall (Upgradeable)]

[Shop Equipment: Merchant's Cloak, Merchant's Backpack, Fair Scale]

Another anchor point has been added.

Li Zhi had already decided where to place this anchor point.

She threw on the cloak and went downstairs. As soon as she opened the cockpit door, she was jolted by the cold.

The temperature dropped so suddenly and so quickly!

Li Zhi quickly closed the cockpit door, took out his down jacket and put it on, then put on his cloak before opening the door again and feeling a little more comfortable.

But it's still a little chilly.

"Sanwu!" the lucky guy came over. "I was just about to look for you. It's too cold. Should we turn on the temperature control system?"

Extreme cold is coming soon, and Li Zhi had taken this into account when building the house.

She went to the trading area and bought two more blueprints for a constant temperature system, installing one in her dormitory and one on the fishing boat.

I just didn't expect to use it so soon.

But that's alright.

Having lived in warm houses, these people will work even harder if they don't want to go back to their cold wooden huts.

"Go ahead and open it. The timber is in the warehouse; use it as you see fit."

The Emperor nodded, and was about to turn around when he stopped, remembering something, and said, "I apologize to you on behalf of Sheng Sheng for what happened today."

Li Zhi paused, remaining silent and waiting for the Emperor of Europe to continue.

"Thank you for enlightening me. I always thought that since she had just arrived in this world, I should give her time to adapt and take it slowly. But I never thought that this world would give her time to take it slowly. My protection may actually be harmful to her."

The European Emperor smiled: "She's come to terms with many things too."

"If you two really understood, you wouldn't have apologized on her behalf."

Li Zhi said calmly, "Empress Ou, you are her sister, not her mother. How she lives, how she makes friends, how she does things, how she makes up for her mistakes, and how she solves her difficulties should all be her own responsibility. She didn't graduate from university, but she's not a child anymore."

"you're right……"

She sighed: "Actually, as an older sister... you might find it hard to understand, but it's not just her who needs to take it slow, I need to take it slow too. I've gotten used to making decisions for her."

Li Zhi shrugged: "What a coincidence! I not only had an older sister, but I also acted as an older sister. But perhaps I really don't understand this identity. You guys just do what you want."
