Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Li Zhi: "You're absolutely right. Let's continue our business discussion."

"I have a total of 15 Apocalypse Crystals here, I can sell them all to you for 56 gold each."

The black mist behind the stall exclaimed in surprise, "We just said it was still 55 gold!"

Li Zhi: "I didn't realize you were so eager for the Apocalypse Crystals just now, and since I'm an experienced and perceptive person, of course I want to maximize my profits."

The black mist before Li Zhi spoke softly, "What if we want to establish a long-term partnership with you?"

Li Zhi: "I only obtained these Apocalypse Crystals by chance, and I'm afraid we can't cooperate for a long time."

Black Mist: "Shouldn't the goal be to maximize profits? Why are you unwilling to trade with me when you clearly have more Apocalypse Crystals? Is it because I'm your sister?"

Li Zhi, who had been holding the mask, twitched his fingers, which he had forgotten to remove, and slowly put it down.

"Is it now fashionable to claim kinship when doing business?"

The aged voice became hoarse, bearing a striking resemblance to Celia's: "It's useless to me. It's 56 gold coins each. If you don't buy it, I'll go find someone else."

Li Zhi turned and left.

"Of course we want to buy it, at the price you mentioned. But we don't have that much money on hand right now. If you're a businessman, we can sign a contract and pay in installments."

Li Zhi: "I'll buy as much as I have the money for. I'm not a businessman, so there's no contract."

"Then we'll take 10."

The black mist behind the stall couldn't help but say, "But—"

"560 gold coins".

A cloud of black mist placed a cloth bag on the stall.

李知伸手将560金币全部收走，看到余额从4120金12银281铜涨到了4680金12银281铜，才拿出10颗天启碎晶。

"Place your order now, let's check it out."

The black mist accepted the shard: "Are you really not prepared to cooperate with me long-term? I really need the Apocalypse Shard."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Li Zhi turned and left.

A slightly disappointed yet relieved voice came from behind: "I'm relieved to see you're doing well."

Li Zhi sneered and left without looking back.

[The bet failed; the designated party did not believe your lie, resulting in a -5 experience point deduction.]

Li Lingjun swiped away the dialog box in front of her.

The black mist behind the stall said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I..."

Watching the black mist gradually disappear into the distance, he turned to the black mist behind the stall and said, "It's okay, you've done very well. That person was someone who sold snacks and stationery at school since first grade and even made his own probability games that always won. It's normal that you couldn't fool her, it's not your fault."

"Really? Sister Shi, I just heard you say you're her sister, are you related?"

[Bound object #03 believed your lie, experience points +1]

"We're not relatives, just acquaintances, and we even have a bit of a history. Otherwise, why do you think she raised the price? So I'm partly to blame for this."

"It's not Shi Jie's fault. You have such a good temper, if she had a conflict with you, it must be her problem."

[Bound object #03 believed your lie, experience points +1]

Li Lingjun smiled as she carefully arranged the masks that Li Zhi had rummaged through on the stall, then took back the money bag that Li Zhi had refused, and said gently, "I'm really happy to hear you defend me like this."

"I'm telling the truth. Everyone on our team knows that you're the best person, Sister Shi. Nobody dislikes you."

[Bound object #03 believed your lie, experience points +1]

"It seems I need to do even better to live up to everyone's praise~"

"You can continue watching this stall. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, goodbye, Sister Shi."

……

Li Zhi never expected that he would run into Li Lingjun so soon.

Not surprisingly, Li Lingjun recognized her at a glance.

They knew each other's tone of voice, speaking speed, and verbal tics so well.

Just like Li Lingjun, who was perfect like a mannequin from childhood to adulthood.

The sound must also be flawless.

Gentle, clean, and clear, its unhurried pace can soothe the soul.

It aligns with her profession as a psychologist.

It also fits her image as a perfect goddess.

So much so that it was the last time they met.

Even though it was a fight, the people trying to break it up felt that she must have started it.

Li Zhi thought about it.

It seems that she really did strike first.

She also kicked Li Lingjun once more.

Then it's alright.

Then I thought of the warm 560 gold coins.

Li Zhi felt even more comfortable.

She found several more tents that were buying up Apocalypse Crystal fragments.

After selling three Apocalypse Crystals at prices of 42 gold, 40 gold, and 45 gold respectively, he stopped selling Apocalypse Crystals and instead started looking for items and equipment.

Information about the equipment and items in the Ghost Market cannot be viewed.

It all depends on the stall owner's persuasive skills and the buyer's discerning eye.

Li Zhi had no experience with the authenticity of props.

—All her props and equipment come from D brand.

After activating the card, the item was used automatically, and she couldn't even see what the item was supposed to look like.

Fortunately, she has light armor, badges, Swift Boots, and a Fire Source Gun.

She could sense a special spiritual force in all three of them.

Especially with the Fire Source Gun, one can feel a unique heat within the fluctuations of mental energy.

Very special.

Although these spiritual energies were very weak, they were enough for her to realize that equipment that could increase attribute points all had fluctuations in spiritual energy.

Li Zhi stopped at a stall, and a mechanical dog clucked over: "A Grade D modified magic defense core, usable in shelters and vehicles, can withstand intrusive and offensive magic of Grade C or below for 5 minutes. If used on a person, it can withstand Grade A offensive magic for 10 minutes."

nice one.

Li Zhi picked up the magical defense core and sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from it.

The intensity of the fluctuation is not much different from that of a Class D fire source gun.

"How much does this Grade D defense core cost?"

Mechanical Dog: "30 gold."

Li Zhi: "15 gold coins, I guess."

Mechanical Dog: "No bargaining, 30 gold."

Li Zhi sighed, "Alright then, but could you ask your boss if you could give me this pile of unwanted fuel over there?"

The mechanical dog clattered into the tent.

No sound came from inside the tent, but after the mechanical dog came out, it replied to Li Zhi: "The boss said no, and also, that pile of raw materials is Apocalypse Micro Dust, which we need. If you have any, we are willing to buy them."

How many do you need?

Robotic dog: "The more the better."

Li Zhi glanced at the tent and said regretfully, "It's a pity I don't have one. Then I'll just buy this magic defense core."
