Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Chapter 87. I can't understand it.

How do I obtain a household registration?

The little tree-man remembered to collect the money: "1 copper coin."

Upon receiving the copper coin, she placed it directly into the only flower on her head.

The flower bud opened and then quickly closed, and the copper coin disappeared.

Li Zhi: "Are you earning extra money?"

The flower on her head swayed, then quickly hid behind the dense foliage: "I...I...I didn't!"

"I just answered one of your questions that wasn't charged!"

Li Zhi pinched her cute little leaf: "Tell me if the Dark One I saw before is still here, and I won't report you."

"exist!"

Li Zhisong said, "Now tell me how to obtain a household registration."

"Each lord has a quota of household registrations. As long as you enter a lord's territory, you will be registered."

The little tree-man shook its leaves, thought for a moment, and then said, "But some lords are only temporary lords. The temporary lord's household registration is a certificate of internment, which is useless. Only a real household registration is useful."

Li Zhi's eyebrows twitched, and he was about to speak when he heard a voice from behind him.

"You didn't pay attention in class. Your internment certificate will be converted into a permanent residence certificate when you become a formal lord. If I find you skipping class again, I'll plant you in the sand."

The little tree person began to shake from the trunk to the branches and leaves.

Then it let out a deafening roar.

"Zero is here!"

All the tree-people working part-time in the trading hall turned their heads at the same time, their branches and leaves trembled wildly, and they screamed. Then, like a tornado, they swept past Li Zhi from all directions.

Li Zhi was slapped at least thirty times by Ye Zi before the trading hall returned to silence.

—All the little tree people have disappeared.

Li Zhi touched his itchy face and turned to look at the person who was nonchalantly looking through the information on the vines.

They really are human.

At least in appearance, they look no different from humans.

She was a little taller than Li Zhi, with extremely fair skin, a few freckles on her nose and cheeks, and fluffy, slender, and tall brown hair.

The man turned around and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Li Zhi pointed to his face: "Is it red?"

"You might be a little thick-skinned; I can't tell."

Li Zhi laughed, then instantly became expressionless: "Your mouth might be a bit venomous. Did you eat arsenic in your past life and forget to wipe your mouth before being reincarnated?"

"The Apocalypse Continent doesn't believe in reincarnation, but you can believe in it; it's good to give yourself a little hope."

Li Zhi said with a forced smile, "Then you must be very strong, right? You could easily defeat Qi Yuan, wouldn't you?"

I've heard that Qi Yuan is everywhere; it would be best to give this guy some trouble.

She actually thought about it for a moment, and said in a serious tone, "It's not easy, but it's not too difficult either. Let's see who wants to die more."

Li Zhi's eyes darted around, and his face instantly lit up with a smile: "That's amazing! I never thought there was anyone in this world who could fight Qi Yuan to a draw! I really look forward to seeing you two in action."

"It's because your understanding of the Apocalypse Continent is too limited, and besides..."

Li Zhi didn't want to hear anything from that poisonous mouth that would shake her composure.

She interrupted him abruptly, clasped her hands together, and looked at Zero with sparkling eyes: "A powerful figure like you must know what a temporary lord is, and what conditions are required for a temporary lord to be promoted to a formal lord, right?"

"You are already a temporary lord. To be promoted from a temporary lord to a full lord, you only need to designate a fixed safe zone three times."

The fixed safety zone was delineated three times.

Doesn't that mean she has to be number one on the race rankings three times in a row before she can truly own that territory and have residency?

Otherwise, there is a high risk that they will go from being free citizens to being lower-class citizens, and then become commodities again at any time.

Li Zhi's heart sank, but his tone remained defiant: "Wow! You really know! Someone as powerful as you must also know why humanity was drawn into this world, right?"

"I know, but you can't afford this information."

She smiled and leaned closer affectionately, opening the panel: "Let's add each other as friends then. I'll come find you when I can afford it."

Zero seemed to ponder for a moment, then a piece of soft white metal appeared on his wrist. "Okay."

Li Zhi said casually, "Then I think you must also know what I need to do if I want to persuade a Darkborn of the Whisperer profession to build a private information network for me."

Zero: "The Darkin can't refuse a secret. If you have a secret that shocks even the Darkin, she won't refuse you."

"If you ask again, you'll have to pay."

Li Zhi smiled and held up one finger: "One last question, are you human?"

"no."

"So what race are you?"

"That's the second question."

Ling slightly raised her chin: "Besides, I know you're trying to trick me into telling me things, but it's quite amusing to watch you go to such lengths to get information, so I'm telling you for free."

Li Zhi showed no embarrassment at being exposed or ridiculed, and said with a smile, "Actually, it was quite fun haggling over prices when I was buying supplies. Would you like to help me buy a batch of supplies for free?"

Zero: "No."

Li Zhi tilted his head: "Then, considering that I've tried so hard and am still so poor, would you give me 10 gold coins for free?"

Zero: "If you wish, I will put the news that you are number one on the human wealth list on the information hall for sale. I will donate all the money I make from this information to you to help you collect 10 gold as soon as possible."

Li Zhi's pupils contracted sharply, and her eyes crinkled into a smile: "Hahaha, I was just joking! But you're so generous! I love being friends with generous people. I've decided to be your friend!"

"But then again, you wouldn't post your friend's information in the information hall, would you?"

Zero Turn Back: "If you lie to me again, I will..."

Li Zhi: "How could I—of course I wouldn't... It's too late, I still have a batch of supplies to buy, let's say goodbye here."

Zero's first smile.

He waved and disappeared from Li Zhi's sight.

Li Zhi's smile also vanished.

What exactly is this zero?

How could you know she was number one on the human race's wealth list?

Moreover, she always felt that Zero was targeting her.

As it stands, there seems to be no malice involved.

He seemed lost in thought for a few seconds.

I can't figure it out.
