Pfft!

Sean couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Arnold's words. He felt that the IQ of men who had fallen in love was terrifyingly low.

As for himself?

Eh, he would never consider himself among them.

After all, he believed that he's the smartest.

Samuel rubbed his forehead. "Just take care of my sister and don't forget about your promise."

As for Riya…

He planned to confess to her soon.

Before that, he should deal with his own problems.

Stephen understood Samuel's implication and chuckled. "Got it."

It seemed that he didn't have to wait that long.

…

Samuel and the others didn't stay in City I Base for a long time.

He heard about the incidents that happened before and felt that Arnold's past identity was indeed a bit troublesome. Thankfully, the problem was not that big and still under their control.

As long as they were strong enough, there wouldn't be anyone who could make trouble for them.

The group of eight returned to City A Base after two days and Riya also saw Mo again. Upon seeing the white tiger that was several times bigger than her, Riya fell into silence.

She had underestimated this white tiger's growth.

Thankfully, the space she prepared for it was big enough to accommodate it in her world.

And their group of eight also ride on Mo to return to City A Base because it would be faster this way. Of course, their formation shocked many people along the way but many of them could already accept it.

No way, who made beast master an official profession?

Even though some people wanted to eliminate all magic beasts, many others felt that the current situation was not that bad.

How it would develop in the future was still something that they needed to wait and see, though.

After reaching City A Base, Samuel was dragged by his father to work while Sean headed to find his girlfriend to explain his situation. Amelia and the others were busy training while Riya went back to her room and then entered her world to start preparing many things.

'First, I need teleportation formation plate.'

A formation plate would be much more convenient than drawing it on the spot.

Riya looked at her diminishing resources and sighed in her heart. She knew very well that she had to enter the crack again sometime soon so that she could get more resources. But before that, she better be prepared.

'Secondly, I need a space lock formation plate.'

Space lock formation plate was just like its name, it was used to lock down a certain radius of space, making any kind of space transfer impossible. Of course, the space lock formation was not omnipotent.

After all, there was still the limitations of ranks and so on.

But it would be enough in most cases because if they wanted to prevent a rune master from escaping, a space lock formation would be needed.

'But this can only trap rank 7 at most.'

Riya sighed.

The formation was definitely limited to her own ranks and this was something that Riya understood very well. The stronger she is, the stronger the formation that she could make.

But because she was only a rank 7 rune master, then her strength was undoubtedly limited.

Not that she minded that much, though.

After all, she didn't want to bite more than she could chew.

"Next…"

Riya quickly made the two formation plate as she wished. For teleportation formation plate, she made more than one as backup. There were cases when her opponents shattered her formation plate and it was very annoying.

Even if she could draw a teleportation formation on the spot, but it would not be as fast as a formation plate.

"Defensive formation plate and killing formation plate."

Looking at the remaining resources, Riya quickly built all the formation plate that she had long wanted to make. These formations were all at rank 7, which made her spent a long time in the world to finish it.

Thankfully, she had already set up the do not disturb note in front of her room.

Other people also knew that Riya had just advanced to rank 7 and it would not be strange for her to meditate for a long time to consolidate her rank.

It was just…

The returnees definitely knew that there was no need to consolidate their ranks.

They have already done that once in that world and knew what they should do to consolidate their ranks almost immediately. What they needed was to get used to their rank again.

A month passed before Riya came out of her room.

Amelia looked at Riya, who finally came down to have breakfast with odd expression. "I thought that you're about to become a monk, Riya."

Riya: ???

It was not that exaggerated, right?

"You've been staying in that room for an entire month. If it's not for my brother saying that it's normal for magician to meditate for months or even years, I really want to knock on your door." Amelia shrugged.

She felt that she was lagging behind in terms of adaptation.

After all, thinking about not eating and drinking for an entire month… Amelia felt that she really couldn't do it.

"I need to make preparation before going to find the magic beast that Sophia requested," Riya replied helplessly.

"Huh? You're going again?" Amelia was stunned.

They have only returned to City A Base for a short period of time and Riya was basically holed up in her room all the time.

Now, Riya was planning to leave again?

"Well, yes?"

"Did you get infected by my brother's workaholic trait?" Amelia rolled her eyes. "Come with me and let's pay a visit to Ruby. You haven't seen her in a long time. Don't you miss her?"

Ruby?

Riya thought about that girl and remembered that she seemed to forget everything when she was making those formations plates in her world and so on.

She scratched the back of her head with embarrassment and said, "Sorry."
