After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 220

After she spoke, another crowd surrounded Silvia and asked various questions at the same time.

Fortunately, Silvia, a well-established real estate salesperson back in Terran, was unfazed by all the questions.

She did not miss one question and she did it all with a smile.

"It’s about half a day’s walk." She said, answering the person who asked how far it was. Then, she turned to the concerned person who asked about safety.

"No, it’s very safe if you have level 3s with you. During the protection period, our experts determined there should be no monsters stronger than level 3."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, our guards have been hunting kilometers away from our walls, they have yet to encounter anything stronger the past few weeks."

Someone from the side asked about their water concerns. "Water? Our territory is built on a water basin with a mountain spring and river. The territory built wells."

"How much? Only a few coppers per gallon I believe."

"What?"

"Impossible!"

"What about food, then?" Another voice asked from behind her.

Silvia ignored the expressions of disbelief surrounding her and answered the other questions patiently. "Food, yes, our territory has a lot of farms. Terran plants occupy about a quarter of them."

Then another person asked about the visitor’s rate, and Silvia happily answered it.

"5 copper is the visitors rate." She said with a smile, and the people looked at her a little cynical in response.

"Five?? How is that possible?"

"Now, you’re just lying. Lady, there’s no need—"

Silvia was unfazed by the questions becoming rude. "Our territory believes in wealth with population." She said, "Similarly, the territory requires only 3 silver for temporary residency."

"Seriously?"

"What about permanent residency then?"

"The Permanent Residency? It is 10 gold. We can also exchange with contribution points for half the price."

"Contribution points??"

"Yes, it’s a merit system of sorts. As long as you help with the growth of the territory, it is likely you’ll earn some in addition to the money."

"Then why would people want to get permanent residency then? Since the other options are so cheap?"

"The only people who could purchase property are permanent residents. There are also added benefits such as certain amount of free resources, water, healthcare, etc."

"That’s amazing… too amazing." One said, with a tone of questioning by the end.

"It is," Silvia admitted, "But you’ll see the truth behind it yourself if you visit the territory."

A few were questioning, and disbelieving, but there were also plenty who had been softened up. "What about the houses, then?" he asked, so what if the entries were cheap, maybe—because the entrance was so affordable—they would have to live in even worse shanty areas there!

"We do not have shanty areas," Silvia said, "For those who lack money, we offer bedspaces, placed in our dormitory buildings. It is priced at a very friendly 1 copper a day."

Basically: Whatever came out of her mouth was a topic for passionate discussion.

Surrounding her with questions and chatter, the people continued to bombard her with their concerns, certain thoughts cementing in their hearts the more they heard.

It was quite lively.

This was what Matthew and his cronies found after being alerted by the guards of the commotion.

"They were very arrogant, my Lord."

The other nodded. "They act like they own the place." _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

"I don’t know where they get their things, but it was probably nowhere good."

"It’s better for us to take it from them."

If Crow and the others would hear them they would sneer. Typical gangsters.

Matthew nodded perfunctorily, but his feet were not slow. He thought if these people could really produce all those things—
