After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 154

Eden National University, a month ago

Gru Beanman stood tall in front of the dais, his white hair combed back neatly, wearing a formal attire that exuded authority.

His fatherly eyes looked amongst the crowd composed of students and teachers, who had been listening aptly the past hour.

With a gentle but dignified smile, he opened his mouth to continue his speech, heading to its conclusion.

"Before I end this session, I would like to take time to express to everyone that it is an honor and privilege to stand before you, the next generation of thinkers.

"As I enter the last leg of my career, I feel extremely… happy to see and meet you—the hope of our field."

He paused, not for effect, but because of the various memories that passed by his aging head. He could still remember when he was in their position as a student with great ideals.

He was lucky because, unlike many others, he had actually achieved his dreams to some degree.

"Let us work together to restore the species that had once flourished in our soil." He uttered out after a deep breath.

"Let us not forget the mistakes of our ancestors, and of the biodiversity that we lost, so that we do not commit the same mistakes."

He paused, "I will repeat this for the nth time today: Agriculture is the bedrock of civilization. We are one of the main proponents of our planet’s rejuvenation.

"We aim to fill up the gaps left by the species unfortunately lost in time and tragedy. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"Students of this noble discipline, you will stand in the forefront of change, tasked to heal the scars inflicted on our planet. Do not forget.

"Let us do our part in restoring the beauty of our planet and shape a future of hope."

"Thank you."

Applause echoed in the hall and he smiled, heart filled with hope, looking forward to the future.

Sadly, he never did get to see the planet’s plant life rejuvenation.

After all, a disaster still destroyed everything in the end.

"YES!" He exclaimed, startling everyone around him.

Dennis, one of the farmers for the wheat farm, couldn’t help but ask curiously. "What’s going on?"

Gru, who was still immersed in joy, was pulled back to the present. "I… the village system hired me for a job! The wage is very—very—good and there are contribution points every day!"
