Forum and Trading

Zhou Chen first checked the forum of the Dragon Country. This forum was as lively as the public chat. Many Survivors were posting and replying, making various new and old posts rise and fall.

[My survival mission is tomorrow. I wonder if I can survive this time.]

[I suspect that the Bear Country's athlete who broke the world record for the short sprint is a Survivor.]

[Some research on the infinite survival system.]

[I suspect that the talent obtained by the big shot 'Astral Warlock' is some kind of premonition ability.]

[My survival mission just now was actually carried out in the Jurassic era!]

[Does anyone know how to get rid of this f*cking system?]

[Must Know Knowledge for Newbie Survivors]

[Three of the ten Survivor friends I added last week have died.]

[It seems like a large company in the Eagle Country has produced some results from researching bronze-ranked healing potions.]

…

Zhou Chen checked the posts with guidance and obtained some information from the pioneers.

He would not believe these things easily, but the reference was always good to have.

After reading through them, he learned the characteristics of the survival dungeons that the other Survivors had summarized.

First, apart from basic clothes and shoes, other non-system items could not be brought into the survival dungeon.

Second, the Survivor could not bring anything back to Planet Blue from the dungeon.

Third, the items produced by the system could be freely brought in and out of the dungeon world.

Fourth, no matter how long the Survivor spent in the dungeon, when they returned to Planet Blue, only a second would have passed.

"It restricts the use of items and the flow of time…"

Zhou Chen's interest was piqued. He planned to personally test it when he was about to undergo a survival mission. Due to the fact that the beginner's trial had started abruptly and ended just earlier, he had yet to discover this important information.

After reading some descriptions of the survival mission in the forum, he went to the Dragon Country's trading page.

This trading area looked much more clean. Various items were displayed in different categories. Those who wanted to buy them could search for them.

After checking, Zhou Chen realized that the people selling things here were all Survivors. The system itself did not sell any items. Some Survivors traded in the form of items, while others directly asked for Dragon Country bills.

[Selling: Dagger (Low Bronze). Price: Any attribute scroll.]

[Selling: Healing Potion (Low Bronze). Price: 100,000 Dragon Country bills.]

[Selling: Iron pipe (Low Bronze). Price: 80,000 Dragon Country bills.]

…

Zhou Chen studied the trading area for a while and focused on the price of the weapons. Then, he set a low price for his wight fingernail and placed them on the trading platform.

[Wight's Fingernail (Low Bronze). Price: 50,000 Dragon Country bills.]

"Will anyone buy this thing… I feel that this thing doesn't have much value other than corpse poison… If it doesn't get sold by tomorrow, I'll lower the price."

Zhou Chen was in an urgent need for money, so he was counting on this thing to earn him the rent money.

After setting up the sale of the wight fingernail, he continued to browse the forum to understand the information gathered by the pioneers.

From the large number of posts, he learned that the Infinite Survival System should have appeared on Planet Blue more than a month ago. Most of the original Survivors had died while those that lived had become big shots. Their overall evaluation was at least mid bronze.

This was a grading standard commonly used by the system.

There were clear levels for survival missions, from the low bronze rank to the high bronze rank. Everyone guessed that there were higher levels, probably silver and gold.

The system's first survival mission was scheduled after a week from the beginner's mission. After that, the mission frequency would increase, and it might even become a mission every two or three days.

Zhou Chen loitered in the forum for a long time. Just as he felt a little hungry and was about to go downstairs to eat a bowl of beef noodles worth 20 Dragon Country bills, he realized that the system had sent him a notification, telling him that the wight fingernail had been sold.

"So fast?"

Zhou Chen was delighted as he took out the stack of red Dragon Country bills from his inventory.

Due to the automatic examination of the system, he was very sure that these Dragon Country bills were real and could be used freely.

"It turns out that it's so easy to earn money through the system? I wonder which tycoon bought the wight fingernail and resolved my urgent problem…"

Zhou Chen felt that it was not a bad thing to have been found by this system. If not for it, it would definitely be difficult for him to earn rent in these two days. After all, his current identity was a young orphan who had no one to rely on and had no job.

"This calls for a good meal…"

Zhou Chen quickly made plans on how to use the money.

"I can change to a better room… but this place is okay for now."

"I have to think of a way to strengthen myself for the coming Survival mission. However, I can't afford any weapons in the current trading area. I can only take care of my health during this time or learn some combat skills…"

Zhou Chen quickly cleaned up the room and walked out. He pondered while walking downstairs.

Before long, he entered a western restaurant nearby, and ordered a large steak, vegetable salad, and juice, spending more than a hundred Dragon Country bills.

After finishing his meal, he strolled leisurely on the street.

There were not many people on the street. From time to time, cars would drive past. The shops on both sides were mostly open, looking like an ordinary city street.

"There have been many missing cases recently. The government reminds you to be careful when you are outside. If you see any abnormalities, please call immediately…"

He heard the television broadcast from a convenience store.

"Multiple missing cases? I think most of the missing people are Survivors…"

Zhou Chen immediately guessed.

He had read many incidents in the system forum earlier and knew the difficulty of Survival missions. Although the infinite survival system had only appeared for about a month, it had already caused many deaths. This appeared in the form of all kinds of unbelievable missing cases on Planet Blue.

The Survivors hated this situation very much, but there was nothing they could do. The system did not care about the attitude of the Survivors. It seemed to be a cold program that would forcibly throw the Survivors into the dungeon when the time came.

"The passive plunderer talent I randomly obtained has a lot of potential. I should be able to gradually develop with it. I have to persevere…"

Although the future looked bleak, Zhou Chen was confident.

At the same time, his heart was not as heavy as the other Survivors'. This was because he had died once. He was already very happy to be able to live a second life. Even if it was just a short period, he would still benefit.
