Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Determination
Even though Victoria felt pain when she thought that she had to pay every day because the work she could do was not much, but this place was safer than the free apartment area.

In the free apartment area, she had to face her noisy mother and Valeria who wanted to take advantage of her.

But in this place, there would be security guards protecting the place.

Even though they would not stop her family from visiting her, when they made noise and troubles, these security guards will come forward to kick them all out. In the current situation, having such a place with security was already extremely good.

Who knew how many people out there who couldn’t even have a place to live?

So as long as she endured for a bit and then these annoying people made trouble, there would be others who stepped forward to clean them up.

This made Victoria felt satisfied.

Her father also came to see her some time ago.

“Victoria, open the door! You go and fight those magic beasts! As long as you can contribute during this time, you can get more contribution points!”

Hearing the noise at the door, Victoria turned her head and her eyes turned cold.

They have no weapon at all, how could they fight against those magic beasts?

Her father had come here to ask her to help them.

“I can’t do it, Father,” Victoria replied coldly and then turned her head to look at the window once more.

If she could, she would have long joined in.

But she has no strength.

She never had any military training or anything before this. The only way for her to be able to help was if she managed to become a mage or magic warrior. The two associations had already mentioned the methods to become magic warrior or to become mage in their website.

That was through meditation and produce result.

So far, Victoria had been trying to meditate and feel the mana faintly. But her progress was extremely slow.

It would take a long time to become a magic warrior.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The door was knocked again.

“You unfilial daughter! Do you want to anger your parents to death? This is the chance for you to make meritorious deeds! Why are you staying inside and do nothing? You have to…”

Victoria’s father had already started his long speech about what she should do, ignoring the strange looks of the neighbor nearby. After all, most of the people here were ordinary people and it would be difficult for them to fight against these magic beasts unless they were risking their lives.

Who would want to risk their lives unnecessarily?

When their own chance of winning was very low, it would be better for them to stay behind and not involve themselves in this mess.

But Victoria ignored him.

Because she didn’t want to go out and fight to her death. She was not even a rank 1 magic warrior, how could she have any strength to defeat even one magic beast?

‘Soon…’

Victoria gritted her teeth.

She will reach rank 1 as soon as possible and when she did, she will find a team and hunt the magic beasts. Only in this way would it be possible for her to become stronger as fast as possible.

…

The only place that would not be affected by what happened outside unless there was a large natural disaster that hit their place was the research institute.

Ruby was inside and continued to do her research without bothering about what happened outside. It was only when she took a break that the other assistant researcher talked to her about the beast tide.

“There’s a beast tide?” Ruby asked with doubts.

They have just experienced a beast tide some time ago because of Murin and now another one has come?

Does these magic beasts loved to attack the base?

“Yes.” The assistant researcher nodded her head and shrugged. “I don’t know the exact details, but they said that the Black Family is the culprit this time.”

Black Family…

Ruby felt her mind turned blank as she didn’t know the power structure in City A Base. As a researcher who spent most of her time in the laboratory, Ruby had to say that she had no interest in politics or anything like that.

It would be better for her to focus on her own research.

“I see.”

“Do you think that they will hand over the magic beasts’ corpse to the research institute again?” The assistant researcher’s eyes lit up.

She felt that the only good thing from the beast tide was the fact that there would be a lot of resources after it was done. These resources would either be divided to those who contributed or handed over to the research institute.

After all, there were so much magic beasts’ corpses.

It was impossible for them to eat it all up.

The purification magic spells were needed to clean up the meat and not everyone could use it. The magic spell was indeed taught freely, but not everyone could have enough mana in the current time.

In this way, many people had to work overtime.

The rest of the meat that couldn’t be processed in time would either be thrown to the special greenhouse or sent to them for their research.

“There should be more.” Ruby nodded and then frowned. “But the previous corpse is still being analyzed and researched. There’s no place for more.”

The magic beasts’ corpses that was sent to the research institute all belonged to various magic beasts’ species.

They specifically selected all different species so that they could have complete directory. Of course, it would take a long time for them to truly complete these so called magic beasts dictionary.

“Then they would all be thrown to that greenhouse?” The assistant researcher’s face turned a bit strange.

She had the feeling that the greenhouse might be too full for the plants they wanted to experiment on to grow.
