The girls chatted happily for a while longer before Sophia was done with the test. Her magic beasts' strength on the record was updated and then the four of them went to the restaurant in the core area of City A Base.
"The food is really expensive," Ruby couldn't help but say when she saw the amount of contribution points that they needed to use.
"It couldn't be helped. The meats are all magic beasts' meat. This is considered a high end restaurant in City A Base," Amelia explained.
Though, she herself was not that worried about the food price because her brother provided her with enough contribution points. Even if she did nothing, there was more than enough for her to live comfortably in City A Base.
No matter what time, it seemed that Amelia would still be the young miss of the Jones Family.
"Just order some and then we'll split equally," Sophia said lightly.
None of them were poor people.
It was quite funny to say that before the world changed, Riya and Ruby were actually busy working hard. Riya's situation only got better after she made the program on her fourth year and then sold it to the Jones Corporation while Ruby was still the same as before.
But even back then, they would try to make it as fair as possible so that no one would feel that they owe something.
But now, all of them could be considered rich.
The salary as a research assistant was not low and Ruby's achievement made her more valued in City A Base. Aside from the basic salary, she had received a lot of bonuses, which made her quite rich in terms of contribution points.
Riya didn't need t be said. The cooperation she has and many other things made the number in her account all time high.
Amelia has her brother while Sophia herself worked quite hard. Even with her having to feed her magic beasts, the amount of contribution points was more than enough for her to live comfortably.
Anyway, they earned money to enjoy it instead of letting it rot.
So why not enjoy their current life?
When the food was served, all four girls were amazed.
"The chef is really good!"
"Ah, the flavor is nice."
"The amount of mana preserved in the cooking is really good," Riya also praised without hesitation.
The other three looked at Riya speechlessly.
Riya blinked her eyes innocently. "What?"
"Can you not analyze things from the mana perspective all the time?" Amelia complained. She had the feeling that Riya could never forget to see things from this direction, which made it even more strange in her opinion.
"Isn't it enough for the food to be delicious?" Sophia added.
"In terms of nutritional value…"
They all laughed out loud and played around happily. It has been a long time since the girls gathered together , which made them really happy. Being able to enjoy their lives without the need about whether the world would be destroyed tomorrow is simply the best.
Unfortunately, this kind of atmosphere was rare.
They had to go back to their respective works soon.
"I'm really full." Ruby sighed and felt that it was really comfortable. She has no obsession with eating delicious food and so on, but it was nice to eat with her friends and gather together just like the past.
"How about if we take a walk? Do you have to go back to the research institute?"
"I don't have anything to do."
"Let's go." Fresh chapters posted on novel✦fire.net
They stood up and at this moment, a group of people also came inside. Riya looked at their robes and arched her eyebrows. They were wearing robes and the pattern was very familiar for her. Though, she herself was also wearing a magic robe that she customized from the Martial Arts Association.
After all, this robe was imbued with various runes and formation to protect herself.
Of course, she made sure that she picked the color and pattern herself. Because if she has to follow Peter's sense of fashion… Riya felt that she would never dare to wear the clothes in her entire life.
"There are magicians in City A Base?" Riya asked, her tone contained confusion.
From what she knew, the relationship between City A Base and the Magic Association was not very good.
"Yes. My father said that they have negotiated some terms to allow the magicians from the Magic Association to come here," Amelia replied. "Don't worry, they will not dare to mess around in City A Base."
"I see." Riya nodded.
To be honest, a base where all three forces could stay would definitely be the best for most people. After all, if they could pick their own paths themselves, it would be the best.
As they walked out of the restaurant and walked around, Riya saw more groups of magicians on the road. It seemed that there were more people who embarked on the path of a magician than expected.
Then again, if they have talent, they would rather be magician than warriors.
"Will they catch up with us?" Sophia muttered in a low voice when she saw the training grounds not far from the core area's gate. It seemed that this place was built to accommodate the increasing number of practitioners.
After all, if they have to go out of the base to train every single time, it would be very tiring.
City A Base had expanded a few times and right now, it was indeed not very convenient to walk out of the base if they lived far away from the gate.
"As long as you continue to train, you don't have to worry too much about it." Amelia shrugged. "Besides, you don't think that you're the best in the entire world, are you? It's normal for others to surpass you if you're not diligent and hardworking enough."
Rather than worrying about it, they better continue to train and focus on themselves.
