"All right, that is the task. It is not often that we gather, and we still have more than half an hour left. Let us not waste it. You may trade items among yourselves."
The Golden Figure spoke again.
Chen Lin immediately gleaned a few more pieces of information.
Gatherings like this had a time limit, with a minimum duration of two hours.
Their length probably depended on the expenditure of contribution points.
Besides that.
The Ant Society not only allowed tasks to be posted, but also allowed its members to trade with one another.
This delighted Chen Lin.
These members came from different regions, so their treasures were bound to cover an extensive range. There would even be high-grade items from beyond the Boundary River, making this an excellent channel for acquiring resources.
Viewed in that light.
Being a member of the Ant Society was not bad at all.
However, Chen Lin knew there must be some requirement for using the Ant Ring's functions.
He had yet to meet it.
Otherwise, after being bound to the Ant Ring for so many years, he could not possibly have received no task notifications at all. He had only received this one because the organizer had set no entry requirements, giving him an opportunity.
"I will not be joining the trading. I have not taken a task in a long time, so I am short on contribution points. Go on without me."
The old man who had spoken so actively earlier shrugged, then vanished.
Immediately afterward.
Figures disappeared one after another, until fewer than a hundred remained.
Chen Lin froze for a moment.
So trading also consumed contribution points.
He did not know whether the trade itself required contribution points or whether they were paid to the organizer as a fee. Either
