After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1157

In Terran, the Olympics were held to promote global unity and peace. It provided a platform where people could come together, put aside differences, and just enjoy the games.

It would also spike the economic growth of wherever it would be held in…

Althea shook her head, putting the non-existent ’Alterran Olympics’ to the back of her mind. Even if it would come to fruition someday, it would probably take a few years before they could safely implement it without people killing each other for the prizes instead.

Anyway, they had been here for a while, but Ansel was still up. At first, he was still laughing, taunting his hitters when they failed. By this point, practically the whole area had tried a shot, with more coming in when they heard the handsome Ansel was the one on the seat.

However, after a quarter of an hour, Ansel grew impatient.

His bum was starting to get sore, and he did his best not to squirm in his seat like an uncool dude.

One had to know that, at their levels, it wasn’t easy to feel this! This chair was too uncomfortable!

It was definitely on purpose!

One of the rules of the game was that if the target gave up on his own, he’d have to pay 100 copper! Scam!

Still, Ansel believed in his grit so he pushed on.

But then it was just miss, miss, and another miss, and the sound of the ball not hitting the target irked Ansel to no end.

"Someone hit it already! Get this over with!" he yelled. "It is embarrassing that you people are taking so long!"

"Do you think we’re not trying?!" The current hitter, Winona, yelled back. "This is much harder than it looks, okay?!"

Of course, the carnival games were adjusted according to the higher cap of levels here, prohibiting people above a certain level from joining in. The target was not only tiny—it was as big as a cockroach—the force required was also not too straightforward.

The ball was made of special fabric and stone and wasn’t completely solid. Throwing it required the right control, otherwise, it’d get unruffled while they were throwing it.

People had to pay for each shot, too. It was twenty-five copper coins per shot, which was a decent glass of juice already.

Some people called it a scam—it kinda was—but before Ansel, there was Dog who sat there and his team managed to hit his target.

Crow—who was an archer just below the game’s level limit—managed to hit it after a couple of tries. His friend Dog swam that day, but he almost gave him a hug (which Crow promptly avoided of course).

After all, this was a favor Dog asked of Crow.

The price during their turn was a child-sized Teddy Bear. It was made of the best material and down, and was made (and donated) by Lenny. It actually had a special spirit regeneration effect—even if it was just a bit—so it was actually quite valuable.

Sunny had shown interest in it and Dog immediately volunteered to join in (begging Crow to do well). He had slowly been showing his feelings to Sunny, though he did not dare confess yet—especially not when she had a scary brother and uncle watching his moves like a hawk!

Anyway, the fact that a team won after about 10 minutes meant that the game was not a scam. Scammy, probably, but not a "scam".

Anyway, back to Ansel’s side, random passerbys paid to give it a shot and were failing. At this time, even Althea was getting impatient, and it wasn’t helping that the babies were stretching their arms to the pool, as if wanting to swim there.

"No, no, Pepper..." she said, hugging her closer. "That’s not for you to swim in."

"Sweem, Mama!" the baby girl mumbled, turning to her and looking at her with those large blue eyes. Her little hand found Althea’s cheek. "Pwease!"
