Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Making a Move
Amelia stood blankly.

The shield was still open, ready to block these bullets.

“What?”

“Who’s that?”

But she was surprised to find that none of the bullet reached her and the man has been apprehended. The bullet were all heading to the ground and Joshua himself looked dazed as if he was being hit.

Peng! Thud!

A hand knife hit the back of Joshua’s neck.

“Does everyone have a gun these days?” The one who apprehended Joshua, Riya, complained.

She had only returned to the vicinity of the base not long ago and then sent her white tiger to its exclusive space. After all, if she showed up with a white tiger beside her, it was estimated that she would scare people.

Since Riya wanted to stay low key, she had to make herself look normal and natural!

But after she reached the gate, she saw Joshua was about to shoot her friends. How could she stay quiet?

Riya used two runes immediately, haste and the weight talisman. One was to herself and the other one was towards the gun. Thankfully, a rune could be used from a distance even though there was still a limit.

In this way, the bullet were all heading to the ground instead of the people.

Too bad that it didn’t hit Joshua’s feet.

If it did, it would have been funny.

She should have added more weight.

Maybe next time.

“Riya!”

“Riya, are you alright?”

“Riya, you’re back!”

The three girls rushed to Riya while the soldier helped Riya to carry Joshua away. Since he dared to make a move to attack people in the base, he would not be allowed to enter and would be put in the confinement outside the base.

This was the place for the people who made trouble and their relatives would have to pay a lot to release them.

Otherwise, they would be left behind to die of starvation or released to face the magic beasts outside.

“I’m back.” Riya smiled and nodded at Sophia. She guessed that Sophia had just come to the base.

It seemed that she came at the right time.

Suddenly, she frowned and looked around. For some reasons, she felt that she was under supervision but there was no one here.

Could it be…

Surveillance camera?

When thinking about this, Riya pursed her lips slightly. It seemed that her plan would have to change if there were people who saw her action just now.

Damn it, just when she wanted to live in peace.

“Where have you been…?” Sophia wanted to ask this question because she thought that Riya was with Amelia. But in the next moment, her words were swallowed because it might not be convenient for Riya to explain where she had been in the past few days.

“No, forget it.”

“I was outside, scavenging for resources,” Riya said and patted her backpack. The backpack was naturally a cover for Riya since she couldn’t possibly take out things directly from her world.

Well, she had made a small storage space magic scroll. That was her second cover in front of Amelia in case she was curious.

After all, Riya didn’t really want to live without using magic at all.

In the past, with all the modern technology convenience, there was truly no need for her to use magic too much. But in the current situation where even taking a bath alone would be difficult, Riya felt that showing appropriate magic would be fine.

Magic should be the norm in the future anyway.

“Oh? I guess they should be valuable because you’re away for quite a long time,” Amelia commented.

“Well, more or less.” Riya nodded and then asked, “Can I ask about the contribution points rate? I heard that the currency is now contribution points.”

Her own money has long been exhausted and only a few hundred thousands of Green Coins were left. Riya was planning to leave those money alone for her to rent an apartment after graduating.

Who would have thought that things would change like this?

Anyway, the money was worthless.

And Riya just wanted to exchange for contribution points so that she could stay in the base.

“Well, contribution points are basically used to buy things. One contribution points are equal to 100,000 Green Coins and you can exchange it with the cash you have left. The government wants to take all the money back,” Amelia replied.

The base worked in cooperation with the government, military , and the Martial Arts Association. When Amelia first heard the collaborator who worked with her brother, she was honestly amazed.

Her brother’s connection was really vast.

Riya blinked her eyes. “Well, how about food and so on?”

“Food are relatively cheap. 1 contribution points are enough for you to eat once in the canteen. The menu is only light porridge and a glass of water, though,” Amelia replied. “And many work will only give you 2 to 3 contribution points each day.”

“Renting place?”

“There’s an apartment on the other side of the base, near the other gate. Each apartment is only around 1,5 x 2 meter for each room,” Amelia replied. “One room has two beds for two people to stay and it’s free. But don’t expect to have anything inside the room aside from bed, a table, and a chair.”

Riya: “…” with such size, how could she expect to have anything else.

“Wait, how did 2 beds fit in such small room?”

“Double bed.”

“Oh.”

“My dormitory is of the same size but it’s one person per one room,” Ruby said. She was allocated dormitory and the room size was indeed that small. But for Ruby, it was still very good since she was not picky.

“If you’re promoted to be a real researcher and not just an assistant, the room will be better,” Amelia consoled.

She had already asked seen the arrangements for the people in the base. After all, her brother was the leader of the base and he allowed her to know one or two things.

“It’s fine.” Ruby shrugged.

She didn’t care that much about her living place. The most important thing for Ruby was that she was allowed to participate in the research for many things, including these magic beasts’ corpses that were brought to the research institute.

“My family brought a lot of our family’s medical supplies,” Sophia said and looked at Amelia. “These things can be traded for a lot of contribution points, right?”
