Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 335
Chapter 335: Trade
Afterwards, seeing that these magicians from the Magic Association worked very well to repel the magic beasts, Samuel chose to ignore their presence.
His father was the one responsible to communicate with them.
As for what deal his father came to them, Samuel didn’t know.
And he himself didn’t care that much.
As much as he wanted to deal with Murin, Samuel could also see that these magicians from the Magic Association were still quite powerful to a certain degree. At the very least, the few at the top has some ability.
As for those at the bottom…
Well, the scene of them using magic was still haunting in many people’s memory.
Even though so, Samuel didn’t want to have much conflict with these people from the magic association for the time being. They have done well during the magic beasts’ tide some time ago.
Aside from the fact that these magicians from the Magic Association basically hurt their friends 800 and hurt their enemies 1000 from their methods, there were nothing wrong.
But Samuel was not willing to cooperate in mission together with these magicians from the Magic Association.
At most, allow them to go to City A Base occasionally.
“They have some strength to deal with the magic beasts and for most people, they should be useful,” Riya said as she looked at these magicians from the Magic Association who were standing as guards.
As for the reason why she knew they were magicians from the Magic Association, it has something to do with their attire.
No one else would wear such exaggerated robe in such a hot day.
Many people would rather wear a big hat and wear as little as possible so that they would not be scorched to death.
And these magicians from the Magic Association were all wearing robe.
Well, thankfully it was not so exaggerated.
Otherwise, Riya felt that they would hurt people’s eyes more than hurting their enemies in that way.
“Maybe.”
Samuel walked to the front, intending to talk with these guards. He wanted to know the situation in the inner area.
However, before he could go there, another person had already walked and was stopped by these guards. The people from the two associations seemed to work as the guards here too.
“Stop!”
“Can’t I enter the stadium?” The man asked in confusion.
Everyone who entered City B Base could naturally see the big stadium behind them. The inside has been modified to be able to accommodate a lot of people, but there was still a limit to how many people could enter at the same time.
“This is the inner area. Only people who have permanent resident and have made a lot of contribution to the base could enter,” the guard said sternly.
“How much?”
“It’s…”
The guard raised his hand, which showed five and the man’s eyes widened.
“500 contribution points?”
“No, it’s 5000.”

“You’re ripping off people #$%^&*(!”
Hearing the shouts and so on, Riya shook her head. The so called contribution point was something that was commonly used in these bases. In order to keep the economy operating, they needed to secure some kind of currency that could be used in their city.
As for using it nationwide…
That would have to wait until the situations stabilize.
Right now, it would be better for these bases to have localized power and controlled the people around the base.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to make the base.
Things might change in the future, though.
“It seems we can’t enter without paying enough,” Samuel said as he looked at Riya beside him as if asking, ‘Do you want to enter the inner area?’
Riya looked at Samuel for a moment and then shook her head. “It doesn’t matter and it’s not that important. It’s impossible for an important place to be entered at will. But the management in City B Base is actually quite lax.”
Because in City A Base, people could not enter the inner area without being screened first. Having enough contribution points alone was simply not enough and Samuel didn’t want to risk the lives of the people who lives in the inner area, which was the villa areas.
They have already expanded twice and even the first outer area around the inner area had started to be reorganized.
But City B Base directly let people enter after paying enough contribution points.
This…
Riya could only think that this base was severely lacking in money.
They kept on asking for resources left and right.
“Let’s walk around and see if there’s any trade area,” Riya suggested. One of the reasons why she came here was to dumb those excess resources that she has. But she would not be giving them for free.
The trade area should be a good place.
“Black market?” Samuel said and then continued to walk.
The size of City B Base was not that big. It wouldn’t take long for them to completely circle over the entire area. And if there was any trade place or anything like that, it should be placed in outer area.
Sure enough, they found a big open area where people were basically selling items along the street.
These people were putting the items they wanted to sell close to them.
Seeing their appearance like this, Riya looked at the guards who was standing at the side leisurely and her eyes narrowed.
The atmosphere is wrong.
This trade area…
“This is unprotected trade area,” Samuel said in a low voice when he noticed how these people put the things they wanted to sell. Even though most of them were trashes in his eyes, but it could be useful for some other people.
Riya nodded.
She could see that.
It seemed that City B Base didn’t care too much about the refugee and only cared about the supplies they could get.
If these people wanted to get some supplies, they had to work hard by themselves.
*sigh*
It was really not easy.
