Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Conflict
Cold talisman?

Riya, who was standing beside Amelia, was stunned when she heard that and looked at Amelia with suspicion. Has the base started to distribute the cold talisman?

She had only made 100 yesterday.

But thinking that the hot temperature had lasted for a long time, Mr. Jones might think that it would be better for them to spread the cold talisman first. For the few people who truly needed it, the cold talisman could be bought.

As for the Jones Family?

The cold talisman from yesterday was still there and people who were working in the Jones Family’s Residence felt really comfortable.

The problem is, 100 cold talisman was really not a lot.

There were more than 1000 soldiers alone and there were also thousands of people who lived in this area. From the original people to the refugee who came from the surroundings areas in City A.

While not everyone were here, many survivors would still look around for a base.

There were too many people.

100 cold talisman that would last for a day and a half was definitely not much. Besides, that cold talisman couldn’t be stopped once it has been torn unlike the temperature control talisman that could be controlled as long as they inputted mana to stop it temporarily.

In this way, temperature control talisman would last much longer.

They could use it only when they needed it. When they didn’t need it, they could use their mana to stop it.

It just required a little bit of mana.

“What cold talisman?” Amelia frowned. “What makes you think that I have it?”

“Your father sold those cold talisman for 1 contribution points!” Valeria roared. “How could your father sold things without giving it to his children first? So give me yours!”

Amelia was stunned.

Her father had already started selling the cold talisman?

And the price was also very cheap. 1 contribution point was not difficult to earn as long as they were willing to work. It was just that many of them had to spare some contribution points to eat and live, so there were really not many contribution points left.

But if they didn’t buy the cold talisman, they would suffer.

For the time being, the cold talisman was basically distributed to the higher ups and the few people who really need it such as in the hospital and so on.

The range for the cold talisman was limited but it can definitely be used in a single room for everyone inside. In this way, a family would only need one cold talisman.

The news about the cold talisman had started to spread.

Many people came looking for Mr. Jones.

Even the military officers were not left behind and talked with Mr. Jones. While Mr. Jones didn’t tell them where he got the cold talisman, he still told them that they would be able to get it in steady supply.

The thought of these military officers at the beginning was naturally Samuel.

Knowing that Samuel and Peter both had extraordinary adventure, they also knew many other things, so they didn’t ask too much.

Anyway, no one can beat Samuel.

Valeria heard about this matter since there were still some people with some influence in the area where she was staying. While Amelia didn’t like Valeria, she didn’t dare to mistreat the other party either.

At least, to a certain degree.

After all, it was still human’s life.

“I don’t have any. If you want a cold talisman, you can trade it with your contribution points,” Amelia immediately retorted. The cold talisman in her hand was the one given to her by Riya. How could she be willing to hand it over to others?

Amelia would never be wiling to do that.

She had heard from Riya that the talisman she made for her would last longer than the talisman that was made for the people in the base.

In that case, how could she be willing to hand it over to others.

“No! You’re my cousin! How can you not let me…”

“Valeria, even if we’re cousins, when did our relationship be so good with each other?” Amelia’s eye were cold when she looked at Valeria.

She could interact well with Victoria but not with Valeria.

This pair of sisters were very different and Valeria only knew how to take advantage of her. Amelia has never been a person who would be wiling to hold his breath and suffer, so she would definitely quarrel openly with Valeria.

“You’re killing people…”

“You’re already an adult! Go and earn your own contribution point rather than yelling here.” Amelia looked at Valeria with disgust. “Don’t tell me that you can’t earn even 1 contribution points by yourself to buy the cold talisman. Even children can work and earn 1 contribution point as long as he work good enough.”

The base had provided a lot of opportunities for people to find work and earn contribution points.

After all, the base was still in the building stage.

There were many places where they had to work and so on. For the refugee who came to the base, they could stay in the small room that was provided for them and then earned enough contribution points to eat for their daily life.

Even if it was not much, it was far better than living on the street.

Thankfully, construction work was not done yet and many people were working for it. They could work hard all day long and earn a few contribution points, which they could trade for food, better accommodation, and even the cold talisman.

“You…”

“Don’t tell me that you didn’t work at all.” Amelia looked at Valeria up and down, not letting the other party any chance to speak. “Your thin hand seems a bit weak and you think that the construction work is not good enough for you? But for better work, how could we hand it over to someone untrustworthy like you?”
