Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Reunited
“Yes.” Amelia nodded. “Do you want to go with them to talk with the soldiers? There’s a point trading place not far from the gate for those who had come and wanted to trade resources.”

“So sophisticated?” Sophia was stunned.

“It’s operated by the military and the people that my brother arranged,” Amelia replied. “The price for many things have been clearly marked and the medicines are among the few that can give you a lot of contribution points.”

“Then that’s good.” Sophia smiled happily.

Even though she knew that the world had changed, she was hoping that to make sure that her living condition was not too bad. Otherwise, it would be harder for her to accept and adapt if she had to live like a beggar all of the sudden.

“Are there teams hunting the magic beasts?” Riya asked.

When she came closer to the base, she saw a team surrounding a magic beast, working hard to put it down. Since the number of magic beasts had decreased, there would not be many cases of these magic beasts gathering together again.

“Yes, the base is willing to trade contribution points for these magic beasts’ corpses,” Amelia said. “Oh, right, you might not know, but there’s a purification spell needed before you can eat their meat. Everyone will be told about this when they reached the base.”

“I know about that.” Sophia waved her hand. “That matter has been announced through loudspeaker to various places.”

Riya: “…”

She was underground for several days in the past week, so she didn’t hear the announcement.

Thinking about this, Riya felt a bit embarrassed.

It seemed that she had to ask about it to Amelia later.

“…I have seen that spell.” Ruby’s face looked tangled. “Do you really have to say those embarrassing words?”

“Unless you know how to do it without chanting, then yes,” Amelia replied bitterly. She thought about her own embarrassment and then quickly tossed it to the back of her mind.

Anyway, she would never admit it.

“I bet you can do it without any chant.” Sophia poked Amelia.

“Right.” Amelia laughed.

“Tsk.”

“Well, before learning any spell, you need to learn to meditate first. Only after you reach the first rank can you start using spells,” Amelia explained.

Because of these, the people who went out to hunt these magic beasts had no other choice but to come back to the base to exchange it for contribution point.

Thankfully, they could get 25 contribution points for every magic beast they killed.

Considering the size of the magic beast, it would be more convenient if they eat it themselves. But knowing that humans couldn’t eat it or they would die because of the violent mana inside… these people didn’t dare to do it.

But the training craze had silently started.

Everyone wanted to meditate as long as possible and become a first rank mage or first rank magic warrior or even first rank warrior so that they could use the spell on their own. Relying on the base, the contribution points they could obtain for each magic beast was too pitiful.

“25 contribution points for unranked magic beasts, 150 contribution points for rank 1 magic beasts, 100 contribution points for the rank 1 magic beast core itself. After that, it’s 500 contribution points for rank 2 magic beasts,” Amelia explained.

“…Damn, you almost make me want to go out and hunt these magic beast,” Sophia cursed in a low voice.

If it was not because she was too weak, Sophia would be really tempted. Because the other page that Amelia showed to them was clearly the rental price of various places. A slightly better place only needed 5 contribution points per day. So if they could kill a rank 1 magic beast… there was no need to worry to live for the next month at all.

Moreover, if they didn’t want to live in expensive place, there were also some apartments with only 1 to 2 contribution points per day.

This made Sophia felt really jealous.

Amelie rolled her eyes. “Rank 1 magic beast is far stronger than unranked magic beast, alright. Otherwise, the price would not be several times over.”

“I know, I know.”

Riya listened to Sophia’s words that seemed very knowledgeable and fell into silence.

How many announcements did she miss?

This made her wonder whether her decision to enter the crack was a good idea or not because she seemed to have become out of touch with the world outside.

But that special magic core…

In the end, Riya sighed and felt that the special magic core was more important. If she was left behind in these pieces of news, she could just ask some questions to Amelia and the others to make sure that she still knew some things.

“So are there any convenience store?”

“It’s not open yet…”

The others nodded.

The base was still under construction and everything that was available were naturally the most important ones. The other things would wait until it was over.

After that, Amelia told a few more things that they had to pay attention on the base. It was mostly about the exchange of resources. For the time being, they could only exchange living place, food at the canteen, and also some basic weapons and equipment at the military base.

The convenience store was still under construction because there were not many supplies that the base could distribute for the time being.

While Sophia was curious about the current situation of the base, she knew that it would not do them any good to ask more questions. So they didn’t ask anything details and only the general knowledge about the base itself.

“The base is doing well,” Sophia commented and sighed.

Who would have thought that there would be a need to build a base like this.

“Yes.” Amelia nodded and then said, “By the way, do you want to eat in my family’s place? Just once for our reunion today.”
