Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

The bloodthirsty spirit outside the window had already climbed to a position where Li Zhi could no longer see it.

But she wasn't afraid.

With her airship's current defense stats, there's no way this bloodthirsty spirit could break in.

She was just curious.

Even if the newly born bloodthirsty spirits of the North were incredibly fast, they shouldn't have arrived in District 16 by now.

It couldn't possibly be... Luo Hong's doing, could it?

Li Zhi both guessed and felt it was impossible.

Luo Hong glanced at her at that moment. Although Celia said she had marked her, did she still need a bite of blood?

Important people will not allow insignificant people and things to occupy their precious mental memory.

Even if Luo Hong had developed a fleeting interest in her at the time, he would most likely have forgotten about her after returning home. Sending a bloodthirsty spirit specifically for her would be illogical and unnecessary.

Li Zhi ate his hotpot slowly, pondering as he continued browsing the chat.

The authorities issued a notification across the entire region the instant they received her message, informing everyone of their weaknesses and how to protect themselves.

However, no information about the Bloodthirsty Demon was leaked.

That's normal.

The Bloodthirsty Demon is too powerful.

It's something that modern humans simply can't handle.

Saying it aloud will only increase despair and will do no good.

I slammed the door and broke a corner off. Now that thing is trying to squeeze through the hole. Can anyone help me?!

Keep quiet! Keep quiet! Keep quiet!

It's eating people! I saw it eating people! It spotted me, it—

When the text abruptly ended, the number of people in District 15 had decreased by 3.

Li Zhi wasn't sure if this person was one of the missing thirds.

However, the Bloodlust Spirit is not only appearing in District 15; the number of players in all districts is decreasing.

Li Zhi opened the chat in the Dongqi region.

Official announcements are pinned at the top.

The discussion below was also about the Bloodlust Spirit, but the overall atmosphere was calmer than in area 15.

Knowing that Bloodthirsty Spirits had appeared in all 9999 districts of Dongqi, Li Zhi was certain that this Bloodthirsty Spirit had nothing to do with Luo Hong.

She breathed a sigh of relief, cleaned up the food she had finished eating, and then heard a bang.

The bloodthirsty spirit must have heard the commotion, because it turned back from elsewhere and crashed into her French windows.

The defense value has decreased by 1 point.

Li Zhi sent a message to Celia.

[Have you encountered any Bloodlust Spirits over there?]

Celia: [I really hope Qiyuan wipes out the demon race. I have them here too, but they dare not approach my spaceship.]

Li Zhi: [Is there a Green Market?]

Celia: [Do you want to go there?]

Li Zhizhen really wanted to go there. She wanted to check the information hall for news about the Demon Spirit and the Extreme Cold, and also wanted to collect another batch of food and fuel.

Resell it and you'll make a fortune.

Celia: [10 Silver]

After transferring the money, she immediately replied: "[The skies above the Green Market are Holy Shadow City. Unless they want to hasten their extermination, the demons won't go to Holy Shadow City to seek their death.]"

Get the answer you want.

Li Zhi immediately changed his clothes, put on a cloak, and teleported to the anchor point of the Green Market.

Standing on the leaf, Li Zhi stared blankly at the film city, which was as dazzling as the Milky Way but not blinding.

During the day, it casts a shadow over the holy city, its presence barely noticeable except for the phantom train that shuttles between the floating islands.

But when night falls.

The darkness and the pure white floating islands serve as its backdrop and shimmering light.

Each island is like an independent star, radiating its own unique light, illusory yet stable.

The intricate patterns of the magic circle became clear in the darkness; they either rotated or flickered, but among the many stars, they were merely embellishments.

The Darkin, riding an anti-gravity skateboard, weaved through tunnels shimmering with hazy light. The Phantom Train, like a ribbon of the Milky Way, carried a dreamlike glow and was absorbed by the stars.

Scattered like stars in the sky, yet so close at hand.

This was the first time Li Zhi had ever experienced beauty in this world.

A beautiful place that is infinitely desirable, built on strength, security, high technology, and high magic.

She forced her gaze away, feeling the heat before heading to the trading hall.

Li Zhi's gaze then fell upon the still bustling market.

Orcs, giants, Darkin, Saints...

All the races she could see wore thin clothes or animal skins.

She was stunned.

There was no snow above the holy city.

Under the protection of Holy Shadow City, the Green Market maintains a constant temperature similar to that of her airship.

That's why she didn't realize something was wrong at first.

On the same continent, extreme cold seemed to strike all races fairly.

But the areas that need to migrate and suffer large-scale deaths, and the areas inside the protective shield, which are warm and spring-like as always, seem to be two different worlds.

The population in the Dongqi area is declining at a rate of double digits per minute.

The Green Market remains a safe place for trade among various ethnic groups, and because it is nighttime, it is even more relaxed and comfortable.

People leisurely traded and selected goods, occasionally ordering a drink or food delivered by vines in a leaf container.

The leaves helped Li Zhi down from the giant tree.

She weaved through the bustling crowd, listening to the languages ​​of different races, and gradually quickened her pace.

Fortunately, she arrived at the trading hall soon after.

Compared to the busier, lush green market, the trading hall was no different from during the day.

She found the machine and the little tree person, "I want to know if natural disasters also occurred in Southern Qi and Western Qi."

Little Tree Man: "Climate Inquiry, 5 Copper Coins."

The little tree-man took the money and pulled out a leaf: "The Nanqi and Xiyuan regions, which should be the areas for newly emerging races, have fallen into an extremely hot environment."

really.

Li Zhi: "I want to know how to quickly obtain a Zone 4 pass."

The little tree-man curiously shook the leaves. "You don't even know how to get a Zone 4 pass? That question only costs 1 copper."

Li Zhijiao paid money.

Little Tree Man: "As long as you have racial registration and meet reasonable conditions or have a special profession, you can travel in the four districts. You are a merchant, and your profession level needs to reach level 8."

Level 8...

No wonder Celia's expression was so complicated when she talked about trading in the fourth district. That demon merchant named Luo Hong has only reached level 7 in all these years.

more importantly--

What is racial registration?

The little tree-man's leaves started trembling again; it seemed quite surprised and even forgot to charge the fee.

"Racial registration is a system that every race has. Those without registration are slaves, and slaves can be captured and bought and sold at will..."

"Oh, I almost forgot you're a new race."

"If your newly formed race does not have territory and household registration before the protection period ends, you will also become slaves."
