Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

10 Bloodthirsty Spirits.

Only three remain, barely clinging to life.

Li Zhi observed that these three were more robust than the previous seven.

I'm guessing they are the three new ones that arrived today.

I gained an advantage by eating flesh and blood elsewhere, which is why I can now hold out for longer against those seven.

Looking at the three bloodthirsty spirits struggling on the ground, Li Zhi no longer hesitated. He put on the light armor he had previously obtained and took out the D-grade fire source gun that was already equipped with fire crystals.

Light armor adds 10 points of health, while the Fire Source Gun adds 5 points of overall combat power.

At this moment, Li Zhi's attribute data has changed:

Player Attributes:

Health: 43/43 (You can try touching the tiger tribe's rear end) (Equipment attribute bonus)

Spirit: 0/19.5 (D-grade ceiling) (Equipment attributes +2.5)

Strength: 11.5 (Sole of the Feet of All Races) (Equipment Attribute +2.5)

Speed: 18.5 (You can try touching the tiger tribe's rear end) (Equipment attributes +4.5)

Overall combat strength: 20 (the strength of a single tiger) (equipment attributes +5)

Upon seeing the contents in parentheses, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew she was weak and had never truly fought anyone on the Tianqi Continent.

But she was also well aware that conflicts were bound to occur in the future.

She not only has to adapt to the various changes in her body due to the upgrade, but also needs to master the weapons and tools at her disposal.

For example, this D-grade Fire Source Gun, or the crossbow of the Forging Clan.

Li Zhi held a gun in his hand and hung a crossbow on his waist.

Upon reaching the door, after a moment's thought, I decided to keep the disposable protective shield close to my body and tucked into my sleeve so that I could activate it at any time before opening the cockpit door.

A stench and screams assaulted the senses.

Li Zhi's eyes stung from the fumes, and his stomach churned again.

But her movements didn't falter at all; she aimed at the nearest bloodthirsty spirit and fired without hesitation.

A flash of fire accompanied by the sound of gunfire bloomed on the chest of the Bloodthirsty Spirit.

The flames quickly spread from its chest to its entire body.

The Bloodthirsty Spirit turned into a pool of blood before it could even utter a wail.

Li Zhi took out the crossbow.

They set their sights on the second one.

The D-grade Fire Source Gun is indeed very useful against Bloodlust Spirits.

But her current goal of killing the Bloodthirsty Spirit with a single shot has backfired.

The shadow said the Bloodlust Spirit's core was in its abdomen.

Li Zhi aimed his crossbow again.

whoosh-

I didn't win.

whoosh-

Still no luck.

The bloodthirsty spirit continued to churn.

Li Zhi pierced one of its arms with one arrow and the other with its chest.

None of them were fatal wounds.

It is still struggling.

Another bloodthirsty spirit was also crawling toward her.

Li Zhi stood motionless at the doorway, maintaining a posture where he could turn back at any moment, and shot arrow after arrow at the two bloodthirsty spirits.

The crossbow bolt flashed and then disappeared.

The two bloodthirsty spirits were riddled with bloody holes.

Li Zhi is getting better and better at it.

With his final arrow, Li Zhi seemed to sense something, and the arrow pierced precisely through the center of the Bloodthirsty Spirit's abdomen.

The next second, only one Bloodthirsty Spirit remained on the deck.

It clearly has no eyes.

But for some reason, Li Zhi seemed to sense its gaze.

Hatred and bloodshed.

Compared to the previous nine bloodthirsty spirits that acted entirely on commands and instincts, it seemed to have developed emotions and thoughts.

Is this a sign that it's about to evolve into a bloodthirsty demon?

With that thought in mind, Li Zhi had already aimed his crossbow at its blood core.

whoosh-

The arrow pierced through its abdomen three inches above the surface.

whoosh-

The shot went wide again.

whoosh-

The bloodthirsty spirit transformed into... a drop of blood.

It slowly floated up to the same height as Li Zhi's line of sight.

[Congratulations to player Li Zhi for triggering the side quest: The Bloodthirsty Demon's Hatred]

[Remaining mission duration: 8 days until the start of the mission]

Task Details:

1. Kill the Bloodthirsty Spirit (10) and enter the top ten of the kill list (currently ranked 72nd in the Dongqi region).

2. Collect 10 drops of tainted demon blood (1/10)

[Success Reward: Unknown]

[Failure Penalty: None]

The drop of blood landed in Li Zhi's palm, and a message popped up:

【tainted demonic blood: the corrupted blood of the Demon Ancestor. Consuming it may grant one demonic bloodline or awaken demonic talents (the more demonic blood one possesses, the greater the chance of awakening)】

Li Zhi's eyes sparkled.

Bloodline, talent.

Anyone who has ever played games knows how important these two things are.

She is currently ranked 72nd in Dongqi.

This means that at least 71 other people are involved in this mission.

Prior to this, she had never heard of the "Bloodthirsty Demon's Hatred" quest, either in the area chat or on official channels.

Everyone was still keeping things too secret.

Li Zhi carefully collected the demon blood and returned to the cockpit.

The deck was a mess.

The unmelted snow and blood mingled together, and the twisted and rolling marks of the bloodthirsty spirit made it look like a murder scene.

But it was still night, and Li Zhi didn't know if another wave of bloodthirsty spirits would come. In addition, he was already very tired after a day of work, so he decided to deal with it tomorrow.

Li Zhi changed out of his winter clothes downstairs and took off all the clothes he could on the stairs. When he returned to his bedroom, he quickly closed the door.

Only then did I realize that I had shut the stench out.

The stench attack is very effective.

But the side effects are too severe.

Li Zhi smelled his thermal underwear and hair, and felt that they were almost marinated, so he quickly went into the bathroom.

I took three showers and then soaked in the bath before I felt the smell on my body was completely gone.

Before falling asleep, Li Zhi habitually opened his career panel.

Shop Level: 2 (91/100)

After she synthesized the Apocalypse Dust into Apocalypse Crystals, she had the Lucky One send over the ores that could be used to upgrade the flying boat that she had caught that day, and listed them on the black market.

Several orders were sold in no time.

It added 19 experience points to her.

Most items, such as timber, oats, fluorescent moss spores, fast-growing mushrooms, dried meat, and wild fruits, have already reached their experience value cap.

Li Zhi can only gain experience points by increasing the variety of items available.

As she hung the ore, she also hung up 10 vitamin D pills and 10 cold medicine pills that she had previously obtained.

The price of cold medicine is 500 copper per pill.

Seven were sold in just one night.

I almost maxed out the experience points for the cold medicine.

I was just 9 experience points away from leveling up.

Li Zhixin was so itchy that she couldn't sleep at all.

If Li Zhi didn't know the importance of anti-inflammatory drugs, he would have liked to put 10 more on the IV.

Thinking of something, Li Zhi found the profile picture of "a little pigeon".

Give me back my Samsung and 5-star pay! : [Little pigeon, the national treasury is empty, and I am truly distressed. I can only try to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Tell me, how much is a message that can start a task and quickly complete tasks worth?]

A little pigeon: [Your Majesty, your words are invaluable, let alone the path you are taking to benefit the people—that is priceless!]

Give me back my Samsung and 5-star rating!!! : [Little Pigeon has won my heart. Pass down the order: I have a brilliant plan to resolve the current predicament. For the sake of the people, I'm selling at a low price, only listing it as Grade A, and letting 10 people bid.]
