Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 336

Chapter 336: Trade (2)
After sighing, Riya started to look around.

She saw that these people were really putting anything they thought valuable. From broken furniture to stones, they were all there.

As for the valuable items, there were also some jewelries and so on.

But Riya was not interested in gold.

She couldn’t use them for anything. And aside from looking beautiful, they were practically a bit useless in this era.

Unless she was some electrical engineer who could make the chip because there were some parts that used gold… but those things usually required precise machine to make and not exactly handmade.

Tossing the thoughts away, Riya continued her stroll.

There were many items there and then her eyes landed on a few jade that some people try to sell.

“How much is it for the jade?” Riya asked.

She still has some jade in her world, but it would not do her any harm to get a few more.

The man raised his head when he heard Riya’s question and quickly said, “This, give me a bag of rice?”

A bag of rice?

Riya was stunned when she heard this request and could clearly felt how worthless these things have become. For most people here, what they needed the most was to survive.

Only after their lives were better would it be possible for them to think about getting stronger and everything.

Riya sighed and nodded.

“I’ll give you one bag for every jade you have.”

The man beamed when he heard that and quickly collected the jades in front of him. There were five in total and Riya took out five kilogram of rice from her bag. Anyway, one bag is one kilogram for her.

When the man saw the large number of rice, he bowed, took it and then run away after grabbing the rest of his things.

Seeing this, Riya looked at the side and saw that some people were looking in their direction too. It seemed that they have been targeted by these people.

“I think they’re interested in my bag.” Riya looked at the bag behind her and shook her head.

There was actually nothing much in her bag since she only took it out as a cover. Otherwise, she couldn’t explain how she managed to get so much food out.

“Indeed.” Samuel looked at these guards with cold look. “The security system in City B Base is still very lacking.”

More than lacking, there was basically non existent.

If it was not a battle against those magic beasts outside, it was estimated that these guards would never make a move to help them in the slightest bit.

Riya pursed her lips and stopped caring about it.

There was truly no need for her to care so much.

She couldn’t really do anything here.

City B Base needed a complete management and it was these people who lived here who had to take care of it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for City B Base to last for long.

There were too many magic beasts outside and the people were not united.

How could they expect themselves able to handle this matter well?

Riya shook her head.

The two of them continued walking and Riya stopped in another stall to buy the jade there. These jades were really good and in normal times, it couldn’t be bought without spending millions of Green Coins.

But now, these things were only worth a few bags of rice.

Sometimes, it felt a bit sad how things changed so quickly and how the world turned like this.

Riya took the jade and continued her walk.

“How many jade do you need?” Samuel asked. If he was not wrong, he had already traded quite a lot of jade to Riya in the past as part of their trade agreement.

“As many as possible,” Riya replied calmly. “I need these jades to make formation plate since there are not many good materials to make one. Aside from these, some magic beasts’ bones can be used but it’s not very convenient.”

She had to process these magic beasts’ bones for a long time before she could use them.

And these magic beasts’ bones were not as good at conducting mana as many other materials. If it was not because of the lack of materials, Riya would never set her eyes on their bones.

Too time consuming!

Now that there was a chance for her to get some jade for her formation plate, Riya would rather choose this one. Anyway, there were some jade in her space too and as long as she process them, these would be good materials to make formation plate.

“I see.” Samuel nodded.

He didn’t understand much about how to make formation plate or so on. But he knew that Riya needed these jade.

‘Should I trade some with the officials too?’

Samuel felt that he could make some trade with the officials and then handed it over to RIya. After all, the number of jade in his place has decreased after he came to an agreement with Riya to trade the jade with those talisman.

But after a moment, Samuel knew that it would be impossible for him to take advantage of them.

Because Peter should also know the importance of these jades for rune master.

It seemed that he had to put this plan on hold and see the attitude of these officials about it. Probing a bit should be fine~.

Afterwards, Riya came to another stall that sold jade.

But before she could make a quotation like before, someone yelled from behind, “You’re not allowed to trade here without paying tax!”

Turning her head, Riya saw a young man followed by several bodyguards behind him. From his appearance and the guards around him, it was clear that he should have status in this base.

Presumably, his parents had high position here.

Riya narrowed her eyes.

These kinds of people were the most annoying.

Moreover, the world had already turned like this with scarce resources and some people were still wasting their time playing truant?
