Runemaster in the Last Days

Amelia nodded absent mindedly.

"Forget it, I'll just try to meditate more," Amelia said with a sigh.

Riya chuckled.

To be honest, Amelia's talent was really good. Those who could get stronger through battles are definitely top notch and if they were to train themselves well, they would be able to achieve greater things in the future.

Because with how many magic beasts out there, they could not stop fighting even if they wanted to.

"You really have good talent, but having talent alone is not enough, Mel," Riya said after thinking for a bit. For someone with Amelia's talent, it was indeed a bit of a waste to paddle around and be lazy in practice.

Yet at the same time, Riya understood why Amelia was like this.

As a person who has been living in peaceful environment and also the little princess of a big and powerful family, Amelia has been living in pampered life. She didn't need to do anything and there would be many people lining up to please her.

How could she change her mentality so easily?

The world had changed and it was already good enough that Amelia was learning to be more vigilant and still practiced.

Even though she complained more often.

"I know…" Amelia pursed her lips and sighed. "But training is really hard and I can't bring myself to motivate my lazy self."

She's really lazy.

There were times when Amelia really wanted to stop training because she was tired.

But it was her brother's face and threatening words that made her continued, even though she really wanted to beat him up.

"It's not going to be easy." Riya shook her head and said, "But if you truly want to be better and live without your brother's protection all the time in this world, it's a process that you have to go through."

Perhaps, her parents and brothers would feel distressed when they saw her suffer.

But at the same time, they would not stop her.

Because this is a process that Amelia had to go through if she truly wanted to grow up.

"I know…" Amelia nodded, a bit depressed.

Riya looked at Amelia like this and felt a bit helpless. At the same time, she knew that it was impossible for her to persuade Amelia more than this.

She didn't want to overstep her bounds either.

Riya sighed and then said, "Forget it and just try your best. Also, try not to sleep."

"Ugh, I'll try…"

After joking around with Amelia a bit to lighten the mood, Riya came out of Jones Family Residence and looked around the base.

They have been outside for some time and the base was slowly growing. Right now, there were already more buildings erected and there was already another new wall made. It could be said that City A Base was developing rapidly.

There were also more rules and policy in City A Base. The law and order were also more perfect than before.

'It's really giving people illusion as if the world had never changed.'

But this kind of thing is good in Riya's opinion. Because this meant that people didn't worry about the safety of their lives and could focus on improving their life.

Life is getting better.

After a while, Riya came to the supermarket.

Well, this was still the only supermarket in the base.

"Welcome… oh, it's Riya." Sophia, who was taking care of the supermarket, smiled when she saw the other party.

"You're back to work so quickly?" Riya asked in confusion.

"Melly is sleeping right now." Sophia pointed to the side where Melly was sleeping. "She ate too much magic beast's core."

When they were outside, Sophia didn't dare to give too much of those magic beasts' core to Melly. Because when Melly was absorbing the mana from the magic beast's core, she would be sleeping or resting.

They were in danger outside, so how could Sophia put herself and Melly in danger.

But when they came back, Sophia didn't have any qualms and fed Melly a few magic beasts' core.

As a result, Melly has been sleeping and sluggish all day long.

"You should let Melly eat in moderation." Riya shook her head and crouched to check Melly. She's no doctor, but she still could sense the mana within human's body and magic beasts' body.

Through sensing their mana, she could usually know their situation more or less.

And Melly was simply resting.

"Well, there's indeed too much mana and Melly is slowly digesting it," Riya said and then stood up. "I don't have any potion to help her digest the mana, so she could only do her best slowly."

"I know." Sophia sighed and rubbed Melly's head in distress. She poked the dog's forehead and muttered, "You greedy little girl."

Riya chuckled.

She guessed that it was Melly who wanted more and Sophia couldn't help but give in when facing her dog's puppy eyes.

Sophia has always been so soft hearted when facing her pets and Melly knew it very well. As the dog that has been raised by Sophia for so many years, how could she not know her owner's temperament well?

Looking around, Riya arched her eyebrows. "The supermarket didn't seem to change that much. Does the resources here enough to supply so many people?"

"So many people?" Sophia shook her head when she heard Riya's words. "Most people who come to the base from outside are poor and they couldn't even change enough contribution points for their own life. How many of them would be willing to come here?"

Most people at this stage was still relatively poor.

And it was only a handful of them who came here every day were rich.

The rest?

Sophia didn't think that they would come because they have to pay contribution points just to enter the supermarket.

Not everyone could waste so much contribution points just to chat like Riya.

"Is it that hard to get contribution points?" Riya suddenly asked.
