380: Join December! Trade Huang Hong!

Su Lie discovered through the World Chat Group that most rookie Survivors died in the high-pressure, high-temperature environment outside the Shelter.

This left him speechless.

"It seems there are quite a few foolish people, no matter the circumstances!"

He briefly scanned other chat messages, finding most of them to be idle chatter.

Only then did he enter the Mist Survivors Guild Chat Group.

"Buzz!"

"Current total number of Second Turn Mist Survivors: 109,998 trillion!"

"Note: Only counts the integer of existing personnel, but when the cumulative death toll of current Second Turn Mist Survivors reaches 1 trillion, the number will change."

"Holy crap! That many?"

Su Lie's eyelids twitched.

The next second, the page disappeared.

He entered the Chat Group.

He saw that the chat messages in this group were constantly refreshing like a downpour.

Su Lie couldn't even clearly see a single message.

The chat page had already accumulated to 10 billion pages.

He didn't see anything.

In his helplessness, Su Lie could only use the Chat Group's pause function to view the chat messages.

Soon, he found that most of the chat in the Guild Chat Group consisted of boring information.

Occasionally, there were messages about seeking to buy items or recruiting teammates for Dungeon Secret Realms.

Seeing that there was no useful information here, Su Lie then entered the Trading Center.

Upon entering, he found that all sales information in the Trading Center now hid the seller's name.

However, one could haggle through messages and also apply to add friends.

Adding friends required both parties to have the friend module enabled.

The number of resources traded in the Center had already exceeded 100 trillion.

Among them were daily necessities, weapons, intelligence, armor, vehicles, Secret Realms, Dungeons, materials, and all other kinds of resources.

Here, some transactions were made with Mist Points, some with Guild contribution points, and even some with Lifespan.

Among them, transaction orders from non-Second-Turn Professionals were marked in green, while transaction orders from Second-Turn Professionals were marked in purple.

There were also a large number of purchase requests.

These purchase prompts, scrolling at the top of the Trading Center, were for items of Red God-level Quality.

Su Lie did a simple search.

He was astonished to find that there was no trading information for Skills, Talents, divine abilities, or crafting blueprints here.

Not a single piece of trading information.

Through the Trading Center, Su Lie roughly deduced basic information about top-tier goods and types of rare goods among Second-Turn Professionals, as well as other intelligence.

At the same time, he also learned through the Trading Center's sales page that as a Second-Turn Professional, he no longer needed to pay Mist Points to list items.

Furthermore, for trade orders he posted targeting Guild members, only Mist Points, contribution points, and Lifespan were allowed as currencies.

Orders posted to ordinary Survivors could, on this basis, include bartering as a trade method.

After Su Lie briefly understood this information, he immediately searched for yellow rainbow resources.

This search revealed that the Trading Center only had one trade listing for yellow rainbow.

The seller of the yellow rainbow was the Mist Survivors Guild.

The selling price was 1 million contribution points.

"It seems I can only purchase it at the Class Change Hall or the Reception Hall, as stipulated in the Contract Book!"

Su Lie sighed.

At this moment, three friend requests appeared in Su Lie's vision.

One was a friend request from May, the Vice Hall Master of the Reception Hall.

Su Lie accepted the request and found that May's description was Mist Spirit Servant, Vice Hall Master of the Class Change Hall, and her avatar had a purple glowing border, different from other Survivors' avatar borders.

Another was a friend request from Bai Tianyu; his description was the same as May's, but his avatar border was a golden glowing border.

The third was a friend request from First Moon, the Vice Hall Master of the Class Change Hall.

First Moon's avatar was a long-haired woman in a black suit, very well-endowed.

Her avatar border was the same as May's, and her description included one more piece of information than May's: December Squad Leader.

Su Lie immediately accepted all three friend requests.

Then, "Handsome lad! Your financial strength is impressive! If you want to buy yellow rainbow, you can directly contact me or Boss First Moon through friends! You've already gained the authority to trade directly with friends! No need to go to the Class Change Hall or the Guild for trading anymore!"

May sent a voice message, her tone carrying a hint of surprise.

Afterward, Bai Tianyu also sent a message: "Brother! After you become a Second-Turn Professional, don't rush back! If you're financially strong, go to the Authority Hall to buy the Auto-Pickup Talent! If you're just average, then go receive the Rank Advancement Mission!"

"The Rank Advancement Mission isn't something that can be completed in a short time! After receiving it, you'll also need to pilot your territory to the mission location and set up a base! Remember, everything that happens on the journey could be a test, don't take it lightly!"

Su Lie looked at Bai Tianyu's message, his heart warming slightly: "It seems having a backer in the Guild is beneficial! Bai Tianyu, I forgive you!"

He responded with an OK to Bai Tianyu and May!

Immediately after, he looked at the message from First Moon: "Sorry, brother! I'm currently leading a team on a Mist mission! May has already told me your news, and I also learned about your clearance information from the old madman!"

"You already meet the basic requirements to join December, and with May's recommendation, I officially invite you to join the December Squad!"

"The December Squad, as required by the mist rule, consists of 6 Vice Hall Masters from both the Reception Hall and the Class Change Hall serving as squad leaders, and 6 of the strongest Survivors in combat among Survivors serving as vice squad leaders!"

"Our squad's duty is to provide more supplies and resources to the Reception Hall and the Class Change Hall! These supplies and resources are mainly used for the mist rule's rewards, as well as the Guild Mall's exclusive resources and the sale of public resources!"

"Therefore, 90% of our squad members are manufacturing support professions, with very few combat professions!"

"Joining condition: Requires a payment of 10,000 contribution points!"

"After joining, please read the squad announcement!"

Su Lie looked at the message and invitation from First Moon.

He didn't hesitate to pay 10,000 contribution points.

This cost him 1 million Mist Points.

"Buzz!"

"Congratulations on joining the December Chat Group!"

Soon, a joining message appeared in Su Lie's vision.

First, an announcement immediately followed.

"December is a squad established under duress by the Class Change Hall and the Reception Hall, primarily tasked with assisting the Class Change Hall and the Reception Hall in completing the mist rule's resource and supply missions.

This group has independent mission and trading modules, can accept special exclusive missions from both halls, and can also trade for special exclusive resources from this store.

All new joiners, please note!

We are allies with the Mission Hall, Authority Hall, Resource Hall, and Trading Hall.

Among them, the Free and Easy Squad formed by the Mission Hall and Authority Hall, and the Cornucopia Squad formed by the Resource Hall and Trading Hall, will also arrange corresponding missions for our squad. These are all richly rewarding missions, which we obtain based on our abilities. Please do not engage in infighting!

Additionally, the Thorn Group formed by the Punishment Hall and Exploration Hall, and the Xingtian Group formed by the Punishment Hall and Pioneer Hall, are our old rivals. If they bully you, try your best to get back at them!

If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!

The mist rule allows competition among our squads but prohibits large-scale internal attrition due to disputes. Please pay attention, everyone!

On the battlefield, no matter which squad a Survivor belongs to, please cooperate in combat! Because all Survivors are our brothers!

Note: Due to your authority, Second Turns can only see Second Turn Survivors and corresponding authorized affairs and missions in the group. Third Turns can only see Third-Turn Survivors and corresponding authorized affairs and missions in the group."

After reading this announcement, Su Lie discovered that the number of Second-Turn Professionals in the December Squad was only a mere 10,000 people.

This was negligible compared to the vast number of Second-Turn Professionals.

"Hello everyone! I'm new! Please take care of me!"

Su Lie glanced at the Chat Group and posted a message: "I am a Refiner, and I can refine various equipment, items, furniture, pills, etc., for everyone. If you need anything, find me!"

After he spoke, it took 3 minutes for the group to respond.

"Hello, brother! A warning for you! Please abide by the basic rules of the Mist, and don't believe any rhetoric! The path is forged by yourself, and your understanding of the world is also carved out by yourself! We are not pawns of any power!"

"Pfft! This guy isn't a conspiracy theorist, is he!"

"Nonsense! I created a path of awakening! I am the first Awakened, and my responsibility is to warn all Survivors not to be deceived by the words of the mist rule, nor by the words of other Survivors and life!"

"Because our perceptions are not on the same level!"

"Ants will never experience the joy of humans! Similarly, humans will never experience the joy of the mist rule!"

The people in this group seemed different from those in other groups.

They began discussing some more profound questions.

Su Lie was a bit bewildered by what he saw; he didn't participate in the chat and entered the group missions.

"Resource Mission 1: Unlimited acquisition of various god-tier resources. Each unit can be exchanged for 1 contribution point!"

"Resource Mission 2: Unlimited acquisition of various elemental resources. Each unit can be exchanged for 1 contribution point!"

..."Resource Mission 1000: Unlimited acquisition of various Red God-level Quality weapons. Each weapon will be exchanged for contribution points based on its overall performance!"

"Forging Mission 1: Materials need to be prepared by the forger, blueprints need to be learned by the forger. Forging quantity requirement: 10 million flying swords; Contribution points: 100 billion points! Time limit: 100 days remaining."

..."Alchemy Mission 1: Materials need to be prepared by the forger, blueprints need to be learned by the forger. Recovery requirement: 900,000 contribution points per god-tier pill. Alchemy: strength god pill; Time limit: None."

..."Huh? The acquisition price for the strength god pill recovery Contract Book I signed with May is 100,000 contribution points higher than the acquisition price in the December group!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up after seeing this.

Evidently, May's price warmed Su Lie's heart.

He then entered the December Squad Group's Trading Center.

Here, there were only two types of trading goods: star moon grass and yellow rainbow.

The price of star moon grass was 300,000 contribution points per unit, and the price of yellow rainbow was 500,000 contribution points per unit.

These were all higher than the trading prices stipulated in the Contract Book.

Su Lie looked on thoughtfully: "Do I have to trade with May?"

He quickly exited the group chat and found May in the friend module: "Hello! I want to trade 30,000 units of yellow rainbow!"
