After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 201

The performance continued for another quarter of an hour, without losing energy at all.

May it be the performers or the audience, no one felt tired despite sweating from all the dancing under the heat from the midmorning sun.

The performance finally ended with a classic Fable triple flip and the audience applauded wildly, forming a little treble on the ground, almost like a small monster mob came.

Everyone was at a high. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

They never thought they’d be able to feel this again.

And Fable—breathless but bright—felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

It was like he was brought back to when he was just starting in the industry—when the joy of performing in front of an audience was at its purest.

At the time, even if it was just one audience, if he improved that person’s day with his art, then it’d have made his week.

He was happier today than he had been in the entire previous year, when he was at the height of fame.

Anyway, Fable closed his eyes as he surrounded himself with the sound of applause and hoots, as if it could recover his spirit somehow.

Nearby, the aborgines also followed the show of appreciation of the crowd and clapped their hands, also screaming. It was a novel experience and they felt they’d remember it for a long time to come.

The excited chatters and cheers continued until the large doors of the supermarket opened and began to let people pour in.

Guards stood in front of the door and asked the people to line up, and they did so without any grumbling.

Anyway, the show provided them with a lot of topics to chat about while they waited.

"That was soooo much fun!"

"Kya! Fable is so handsome!"

"I knowwwww. I wonder since when did he get here?"

A gasp. "I think I saw him! He was unsightly but he looked familiar at the time. I just thought I was hallucinating!"

"Oh my! Such a pity!"

"Such a pity!"

Inside the building, the chatters were no less than those outside. But they were still organized despite the excitement, especially thanks to the private guards hired for this event. They would also be in charge of the security within the premises.

Of course, this wasn’t entirely needed because of the rule she set: Theft was prohibited.

However, Althea felt a few guards were still needed to maintain order. She even added more sales clerks to guide the customers.

With similar thoughts as to why she was maintaining the service and hospitality industries, she just thought adding Human touch added meaning to mundane things.

She hired one clerk per section, with a section having three working in shifts. This was just right considering the number of people allowed to enter at one time.

Like the Grocery store, the maximum number of people that could simultaneously enter the edifice was limited. This time, the limit was increased to 200 people at a time, so the people outside wouldn’t need to wait too long.

With their current population, anyway. As for what could happen when the number of people spiked, she’d deal with that later.

Back to the exterior of the structure, the line moved very slowly, with the slots for 200 people decreasing at a fast rate. Soon the person was blocked and while sad, he just chatted with the person next in line and patiently waited for his turn.

The stall owners also mobilized and were wearing those small wooden platforms that were supported by their necks. On the platform were their respective products—it could be fruits, it could be processed meat, or it could be juice.

This way, the people could also chew a few things to pass the time.

There were even young kids offering massages, performances, and the like.

A little boy even tried mimicking Fables dances, though he failed miserably at cartwheel, and it made people laugh and gave him a few tips (though not without warning from older people to be careful with his neck, of course).

Anyway, even waiting in line is so much fun now.
