Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Careless
Mr. Jones silently looked at his son who was talking with Riya and wondered why did he have to discuss these in his office.

Can’t they go back first?

For some reason, he felt that his son’s behavior was a bit odd.

He was not usually so enthusiastic.

‘Forget it.’

Not wanting to think too much, Mr. Jones focused on his work again.

He treated these two people as if they didn’t exist.

…

The days passed by quietly.

After meeting with Samuel, Riya walked around the base with him. He also needed to know the progress of the base after gong out for a long time. After all, he was originally the one who managed it.

If he knew nothing, it would be very bad.

In this way, Riya saw the buildings that was being built and also the new canteen that was built. This canteen was located more at the outer edge and it only sold porridge, water, and bread.

The price each was only 1 contribution point and everyone could get one bowl of porridge and one glass of water every day.

There was nothing else there.

After all, this canteen was set up to help those who were poorer and could only live at the edge of the base. When the base expanded again in the future, their location wouldn’t be at the outermost edge anymore, though.

As for the canteen inside, Riya noticed that there was a glass of milk that was priced at 1 contribution points per glass.

And many people were lining up to buy it.

“The milk is really popular?” Riya asked curiously. She handed over the goat and the cow milk from her world. The amount was quite a lot since those cow and goat has been in her world for more than half a year, but she didn’t give the produce from the last month.

Because the food at the last month contained much more mana and it was not suitable to give out.

“Milk can give you some protein and it’s quite nutritious. For most people who could only eat porridge and drink water, it’s a good alternative,” Samuel explained.

It was also because of this that he didn’t ask for a high price and 1 glass of milk can be bought with only 1 contribution point. To be honest, he thought about giving it for free, but the amount that Riya gave to him was not that much.

It would run out soon.

So pricing it this way would be better.

“Is there no milk before?” Riya saw that a group of pregnant women were also lining up to buy.

“No. Milk powder is rare and if you look at the supermarket, I think the price is 5 contribution points,” Samuel replied. “Before we can rebuild the farm and the production line, it’s not going to come down anytime soon.”

Riya nodded in understanding.

It seemed that she would have to understand that many resources were rare.

And the food has only been planted. Even with the growth formation, it would still take two months for the food to be ripe.

Eh, it’s not long?

It was actually quite long because the time could be cut by half if there were enough fertilizer and so on. The technology for farming before was pretty good and the equipment could help to let the plants mature earlier.

Unfortunately, they didn’t have many fertilizer, so they could only rely on the plants natural growth + the formation’s enhancement.

“I see.” Riya nodded.

“Did you use magic spell when collecting the milk? They’re very clean.” Samuel thought about something and looked at Riya.

“Well, yes.” Riya shrugged. “It’s really dirty and hard to get… so if I don’t use a cleansing spell, I won’t even dare to process them.”

As a proper city girl, Riya had to admit that she barely knew anything about farming. It was only after she tried it out did she realize that it was really dirty and so on.

Her paper doll couldn’t learn any magic spell.

But after changing to the jade doll, they could learn some simple daily spell, so Riya taught them cleansing spell, growth spell, and so on. In this way, they would be able to take care of the animals.

Of course, she had slaughtered the excess number of the animals and put the meat away.

There were simply too many of them!

How they multiplied so quickly, Riya didn’t understand and suspected that it might be the effect of mana. After all, those magic beasts also increased in number very quickly and caused headache to many people.

So there might be that effect…

She honestly didn’t know.

Riya hated biology because there were so many strange names that she had to memorize.

Yet, she was able to memorize countless runes with ease.

It could be said that interest played a big role in helping one’s memorization.

“That’s good, then.” Samuel nodded.

Riya paused and then looked at Samuel. “How do you know that those are not from the market?”

“Because you put them in buckets.”

Riya: “…”

She forgot about that!

Seeing Riya’s autistic look, Samuel chuckled. He felt that Riya is really powerful but she could be careless in many things in her life. It was really cute.

“There are still some farms in this world, but their number couldn’t be too large because it’s hard to protect them from the magic beasts. Unless it’s a farm dedicated in the base where there are a lot of protection,” Samuel said slowly.

He had shown Riya their fields but didn’t show her the animals yet. After all, there was no reason for him to show them to her.

Riya saw Samuel’s look and for some reasons, she had the feeling that he wanted her to help him with the formation again.

“…You’re not telling me that you want me to build another formation to protect it, right?”

Samuel looked at Riya with a smile, his intention was clear.
