Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 405: Expectation vs Reality
The expectation is high but the reality hit hard.
Victoria was depressed when she found out that even after eating a few kilogram of magic beast's meat and training almost all night long, she still failed to advance to rank 1. In the end, she could only stop training and rested for a while before going out to see his mother.
Bang! Bang!
Early in the morning, the banging started again.
"Victoria, you b*tch! If you're so capable, then…"
Bang!
The door flung open and Victoria stood there, carrying a kitchen knife. "Shall we talk somewhere else, Mother?"
Victoria's mother saw the knife in Victoria's hand and trembled a bit. She knew that her daughter should have work to be able to get contribution points, but she didn't expect that this would cause her stance to be so tough.
In the past, Victoria was willing to listen to her words and would obey her order.
But now, her wings had become hard.
This made Victoria's mother unwilling, so she came to see Victoria under the guise of being a 'kind' mother.
"Yes."
The two of them left and Victoria followed her mother. Looking at the direction where she was going, Victoria frowned when she saw the restaurant.
In the past two weeks, a few restaurants have been built in City A Base.
There were some people who have more than enough contribution points and decided that it would be a good idea for them to build restaurant.
In this way, these restaurants were born.
The businessman and people who used to open restaurants worked together to make this new restaurant here. After all, relying on the few missions in City A Base, it would be hard for them to get rich.
As for going out to hunt magic beasts?
Unless they wanted to risk their lives and possibly die in the process, they should not try it. Of course, if they were confident in their strength, that was a different story.
But how many of them could confidently say that they could beat up those magic beasts?
"Do you have enough money to eat here?" Victoria asked suspiciously. From what she knew, her family members were really poor.
"Of course!" Victoria's mother snorted and wanted to say harsh words but upon seeing the knife that Victoria hadn't put down, all the words were swallowed back. She grunted in her heart and felt that her daughter's wings are really hard now.
But it didn't matter.
She had arranged everything.
Did Victoria think that by staying away from her, she wouldn't be able to do anything?
Then she would tell her daughter that she's completely wrong.
Victoria didn't notice anything and looked around the restaurant. There were not many people there and when she looked at the menu, she felt that it was not surprising. The prices of the food here were 3 to 10 contribution points.
If they could get some food from the canteen at a much cheaper price, why would they come here?
'Did this restaurant go on high end route?'

But how delicious would the food be?
Victoria honestly doubted that it would be worth it. Because the contribution points in the current time was basically earned by most of them betting their lives. They would not waste it easily just for something delicious.
Unless the restaurant's owner wanted to target the rich people.
But if they wanted to target the rich people, why did he build it in this area?
This was still the outskirt and it was located at the edge.
There were not many rich people here.
Victoria thought about it for a moment before deciding not to think too much. Whatever they decided to do, it was not her business.
Victoria's mother walked to the second floor where there were private rooms for dining. She had asked the owner to reserve one for her.
"Can't we just stay below?" Victoria asked with a frown. The restaurant was empty anyway, so there was no difference even if they were here.
"No. I'm your mother and you have to listen to me."
"Are you sure?"
Seeing the knife that was raised again, Victoria's mother froze and then she gritted her teeth. "Do you really want to kill your mother in full view? I'm sure that the law in City A Base prevented you from killing other people here."
The law in City A Base clearly stated that they were not allowed to kill others.
The only exception was self defense.
But considering the strict law that was still being implemented in this base as if the earthquake had never happened, not many people were wiling to challenge the rules.
The power of those magic warriors were very clear to them.
If they dared to challenge it, the first thing that they had to consider was whether they could survive if the other party attacked them.
Not surprisingly, most of their answer would be no.
Because they really didn't have that confidence.
"I think that staying in the jail for a period of time is better than being harassed by you all that time. Besides, I can clearly say that it's self defense, right?" Victoria said calmly and looked at her mother in front of her. "If you dare to do anything funny, I don't mind raising the knife."
"You're really heartless! Why did I give birth to such an unfeeling daughter like you! Can't you be like your sister who knows how be filial to her parents and take care of us?"
Victoria looked at her mother quietly. "If you're willing to work honestly, you can still live well, Mother."
But what Victoria's mother wanted was nothing more than a good life without the need for her to work hard at all.
This kind of thing was clearly impossible.
"You unfeeling daughter!"
"Mother, what do you actually want to say to me?" Victoria felt that her patience has always been tested when she saw her mother.
"Come with me to the second floor."
