Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Checking Melly the Dog
“Ah.” Sophia nodded and said, “I plan to bring Melly out later but before that… Riya, is beast master really strong?”

Riya arched her eyebrows when she heard that question.

How strong is a beast master?

Most beast master were also magicians on their own. In this way, their strength would not be limited to their magic beasts but they could also improve on their own. But their talent was usually limited, which was why they turned to become beast master.

Because through this way, they could get stronger faster.

The more talented their magic beast is, the stronger they would be.

Riya herself had long heard about them and knew that many beast masters’ strength were very dependent on their magic beast.

But if their magic beast was very powerful…

It was worth it.

Once their magic beasts reached the rank that many magicians, warriors, and other struggled to reach, the magic beast would basically be the best.

Of course, that would be if their magic beast would be wiling to stay loyal.

Because some magic beasts who were coerced into forming a contract… would kill their own beast master when they could.

“To a certain degree, they can be stronger than many other magicians, warrior, and even magic warriors,” Riya replied. “However, your strength would depend on your magic beast. If your magic beast is hurt, you’re basically a vulnerable existence that’s far weaker than others of the same rank.”

Every path has their own strength and weakness.

Riya could not say that her own path is the best. But this the path that suited her the most, so Riya would continue to follow this path until the very end.

Anyway, she liked it very much.

“I see.” Sophia patted Melly’s head.

“If you truly want to become a beast master, you can use that magic scroll that I gave you,” Riya reminded.

She gave the magic scroll to help Sophia formed an equal contract with Melly. With that contract, Sophia would be able to get part of Melly’s strength to strengthen herself and at the same time communicate with Melly.

In this way, she would truly become a powerful beast master.

Sophia smiled softly. “I’ll think about it more. Do you want to buy something? There are some resources here, but the price is a bit expensive. There are a complete stock, though and this place is heavily monitored.”

With that, Sophia beckoned to the camera on the side.

Riya saw that and nodded. It seemed that they still placed security highly. Otherwise, people could really steal from here.

“How to pay?”

“Well, you come here with what you want to buy and I’ll calculate the price for you,” Sophia replied.

“I see.”

Riya nodded and grinned. “I’ll take a look first.”

“Ok.”

The store was really big and there were various items here. There were also some electronic equipment placed to prevent theft.

With the fact that one had to pay to enter the store, not many people dared to come here. Right now, the price was only 1 contribution points but it might be increased in the future when there were more rich people.

Riya didn’t care about it and simply looked around.

If one had to be honest, just coming here without buying anything was also worth it. The temperature in the store was really cool. Samuel should have arranged for one cool talisman to be placed in the store just to make sure that the entire place was cool enough.

It might not as comfortable as if it was in a smaller room, but it was far better compared to outside.

But the price of 1 contribution points made many people unwilling to enter.

They would rather stay at their home or other places that was free than coming here.

‘Food, equipment…’

Riya looked at the rows of food and finally her eyes landed on the seeds area. She was surprised that there were also seeds for sell here.

“Sophia, doesn’t the base want to keep the seeds for themselves?”

“Ah? Those are flowers’ seeds and the base didn’t need too many of them,” Sophia explained helplessly. “They said that they could sell some of the flower seeds for others in case some rich people want to raise plants.”

Riya: “…”

Who would be so idle to raise flowers in this current time?

But after Riya looked at these seeds… well, she seemed to be one.

The price for the seed was 5 contribution points per seeds, so she bought 5 seeds for each variety.

After putting them on a basket, Riya looked around again and finally bought a few kitchen utensil. Considering that her own cooking method was not very good, she might need a new one after a while if it was broken.

Otherwise, she could just let them stay in her space too.

Anyway, she didn’t buy many of these utensils in the past.

After buying a few more items, Riya dragged everything to the counter and let Sophia counted it.

“The total is 1224 contribution points,” Sophia said. Her lips twitched when she thought that her own salary was only 3 contribution points per day. Even though this work was comfortable but the pay was not exactly the highest.

Thankfully, there were a total of four shift each day and Sophia only needed to work for 6 hours.

Otherwise, she would feel that it was a bit too tiring.

“Ok.” Riya nodded and handed her card.

After selling so many cool talisman and also making those runes on the magic cores, Riya had a lot of contribution points in her card. Since Samuel had known about her real strength, Riya felt that she should just give more for them.

Anyway, the base needed more cool talisman.

‘Hmm, now that I’m done, should I pay a visit to the research institute?’

Riya remembered that Amelia mentioned that the research institute hoped that she would pay a visit to them.

Oh well, she could go there later.
