Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 404: Preparation (2)

So he had to be more honest.

But it didn't take long for him to stop and then the magic beasts came to the Business District Base and destroyed it altogether.

Mr. Taylor could only escape with his daughter.

He couldn't find his wife and son, so he chose to forget about them temporarily.

There was no point thinking about them all the time.

And now…

"Can't you work better? You're only thinking about…"

Mr. Taylor is being scolded.

In the construction work today, he wanted to take the work that other people did as his own so that he could get more contribution points. But before he could succeed, the supervisor came and saw him lazing around.

What followed is naturally a scolding.

And Mr. Taylor couldn't really explain what he wanted to do.

It's really bad luck.

…

Victoria's side

It has been some time since Victoria started training, but her result was not ideal. She couldn't even reach rank 1 and her family members were already banging on her door every single time.

This made her had to go out early in the morning to do some work to gather contribution points and then sneaked back when they were not around.

'Can't they do something else?'

Victoria felt really tired with her parents and Valeria. The three of them didn't seem to be wiling to work and came to trouble her again.

Oh, there was a break in between, though.

Victoria heard that during the magic beasts' tide, these people try to take advantage to get the corpse but caught. So they were put into detention and couldn't come out for a week's time.

During that week, they only ate a bowl of porridge and drink water once a day.

It made them really hungry and thirsty, but there was basically nothing that they could do about it.

No one would care about prisoners.

Victoria had a rare peace and wanted to focus on training, but her family members just have to come and paid a visit to her again. This made her wonder what exactly they were doing.

They didn't work but come to trouble her all day long…

"Miss Victoria, can you do something about them?" A neighbor asked when Victoria's family members have left. She was dissatisfied with the noise all day long here, but there was not much that they could do.

After all, this was only a cheap neighborhood that cost 1 contribution point per day.

They also couldn't really do much when the situation out there was not very optimistic.

The only thing that they could do was to try and live well.

Noisy neighbor was normal.

But….

Victoria's family members are really abnormal.

"I know, I'll talk with them," Victoria said.

She also knew that it was impossible for her to leave this be like this for the rest of her life. Unless she wanted them to continue taking advantage of her and made trouble to her.

As for how they have so much energy, Victoria didn't know.

The neighbor nodded. "Well, don't feel pressured. Everyone here lives a hard life and we just hope that it can be a bit more comfortable."

Victoria nodded helplessly.

With that, the neighbor left and Victoria went back inside to practice.

She looked at her phone and wondered whether her friends were there and whether she should ask them for help.

Victoria knew that if she asked, they might be willing to lend a hand.

But this meant that she will owe them.

The person whom she has the best relationship with was only Amelia… After all, she didn't spend that much time in the dormitory and often away for various reasons. The other people were not too close and Victoria was not sure how to ask.

After a while, she sent a message.

…

Victoria looked at the package that was delivered to her and pursed her lips. This was the meat of a rank 1 magic beasts.

Originally, Victoria wanted to ask for higher, but Amelia said that her brother told her that people who haven't become a magic warrior couldn't eat the magic beasts' meat higher than rank 1.

If Victoria had reached rank 1, then Amelia will send her the rank 3 magic beasts' meat.

But now, it's impossible.

"It seems that there's still rule to prevent people from advancing too fast too," Victoria muttered under her breath as she looked at the magic beasts' meat in front of her.

Today, she will train hard and consume it all.

In this way, she will have a chance to advance to rank 1 tomorrow.
