After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 50

[147:54:16]

Priya was very amused by their interactions, and also a little guilty for her oversight.

It was just that she didn’t tell them about the bread because she thought they wouldn’t have much of a choice anyway. After all… if you’re hungry, you wouldn’t be choosy.

But it seemed she still underestimated this group.

They soon left the ’scam restaurant’ (as Harold called it) and Priya walked them to the other side to a similar building about a hundred meters away.

It was a little plainer in design outside, but inside was a bit more lively. There were cabinets filled with wooden weapons like wood sword, wood spear, as well as bow and arrow.

Harold walked over to the nearest display that attracted him.

[Would you like to buy a wooden spear for 10 silver? Yes | No]

Harold stared at the screen guardedly, as if seeing himself getting scammed again. "Can’t we see the specs?"

"You have to buy it first," Priya said, but this time was kind enough to remind them of what she heard. This was 10 silver after all. "However, most people think it’s worth it."

Harold was a bit apprehensive, but he bought one anyway.

[Wooden Spear (E)

Attack +5

Special Effects: None

Durability: 100/100]

"Is it worth it?" Sheila asked as she stared at the long piece of wood, just a bit sturdier-looking than Althea’s makeshift bamboo spear.

"Well, if you’re level one or two it is a decent addition to your total attack. For Level Three… well, it’s better than nothing."

The two girls looked at each other and mused what to buy; The two girls bought a set of bows and arrows in the end.

Although Althea still had guns and bullets, she didn’t plan on taking them out unless it was an emergency.

She knew that she could still use guns against level 3 monsters. Using it well as a secret weapon against monsters at that level was still the best choice.

And, if need be, against human beings as well.

However, the fact that it was a bit cumbersome even for guns to do damage to monsters—especially if the bullet hit the skin—meant that it wouldn’t be useful forever.

It was better to use up the guns early lest they really just become useless pieces of metals.

[Wooden Bow (E)

Attack +5

Special Effects: None

Durability: 100/100]

They bought a few quivers of arrows at the cost of 10 copper per arrow. A few hundred arrows were stored in the space while a quiver filled with arrows were carried with their backpacks.

Seeing that the group had already chosen their own weapons, Priya smiled and looked at them. "I’ll show you the plant now."

"Thank you."

"Why are you so interested anyway?"

"I could be said to have dealt with plants all my life back in Terran, the unfamiliar species here fascinates me very much." Althea tended to talk much more when it was related to plants, and her friends were happy to watch her drone on.

"What about you, what did you do back there?"

Priya blushed a bit. "I’m a housewife..."

"Housewives are the noblest profession." Althea said very sincerely.

As an orphan, Althea would always have special fondness for parents who spend their days with their children.

Priya was a little stunned and looked at her again, as if to see if she was just being polite.

When she saw that the other woman was sincere, Priya scratched her cheek in embarrassment, shy and a little bit happy. "Well.. thanks… I am also very happy."

The group smiled and they walked harmoniously to their destination.

As they headed back to the shanty area through the main road, Althea couldn’t help but turn her head to look at the buildings along the road.

She recalled what Bobby King said before: that he still had hundreds of gold left.

Althea, who owned a lord token, instead heard the implications of his words— ’only had hundreds of gold left’ —loud and clear.

It could be seen that these few buildings and the fence cost hundreds of gold.

Territories were indeed money-burning endeavors.

But, at the same time, if done well, it would be a goose that laid huge golden eggs.
