After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 249

While doing a guided tour for such a small village was weird, they were aware that they only had a little over a day here and naturally hoped to know (and gain) as much as they could.

After a moment, the two lords decided to hire a guide and the others also followed their leads and hired their own.

Because the two of them had different targets from the others, they asked the rest to form separate tour groups, including their confidants. This was actually what the people wanted (though they tried not to show it). After all, how could this ’field trip’ be fun with the ’bosses’ around?

Anyway, the groupings were completed after some time. Interestingly, most groups had a mix of people from the two territories. Obviously, a lot of people bonded on the way here.

Each group was soon approached by a designated guide and, for the lords’ ’group’, it was a lively girl. She approached the two lords with a blushing face and bright eyes and—from how the other girls glared at her—this assignment was hard won.

"Hello! My name is Lulu! I am in charge of your customized tour today! May I know who will be the members of your team?"

"It is just the two of us," Matthew said with that gentle smile of his, hitting the hearts of the girls around.

"I see, I see~ What kind of tour do you want to take? We have food tours, luxury tours, etc. We can also customize~!"

"Custom, please," Matthew said, meeting his blonde companion’s eyes. "We may have more targeted requirements than the others."

Lulu nodded amicably, ready to listen to them and meet their needs. "Okay, this is noted! May I know what exactly you wish to know?"

Matthew smiled and proceeded to explain. "Well, we are Lords of our respective territories. We would like to get a more detailed description of the features of the territory, is this okay?"

"L-Lords???"

The girl paused, paling, and excused herself. She turned her back and scuttled somewhere. When she got back a minute later, she was already pulling that guy Fred from before.

"Hello, distinguished guests! This is my boss Fred, and he knows most about the territory than any other guide. The Lords definitely deserve the best~" Lulu said, blushing, and ran away to shyly hide beside the other girls and soon to get new less-intimidating guests.

Back to the two lords, although a little startled, they didn’t mind the change. As long as much of the information they wanted would be known, then they’d consider the guide worth it.

Fred grinned as his eyes stayed on the two lords. Rich guests tended to tip a lot!

Of course, this batch of people was technically their first guest, so he had yet to confirm this personally.

Anyway, his grin did not diminish as he walked closer to the two lords. "May I know how many people would be in the lords’ group?" He asked.

"Just the two of us," Matthew said. Even his sister joined another group, focused on going to the pharmacy and health center first. Anyway, now that she had already leveled up, he wasn’t too worried about her.

It must’ve been a while since she had free reign…

"Okay, then! Follow me, please~" Fred said and began walking along the avenue, describing what he knew about the territory (that was allowed to be released in public, especially to outsiders, of course).

"This is one of the two main avenues in the village: the Southwest Avenue. There is another one called the East Avenue. The two avenues are very wide with a nearly 20-meter-wide carriageway, not including the provisions for sidewalks and the lane in the middle."

He did not mention the middle was a bike lane. It still hadn’t been publicly sold and he didn’t want to jinx it.

He really, really, wanted a bike.

"The greening is very well maintained," Micheal mentioned, blue eyes looking at the street islands with warm eyes.

"Yes, the greening here is very rich, even in areas filled with buildings. They are maintained by people hired by the system, but I heard there is a new NPC specializing in taking care of plants."

"NPCs?" Matthew whispered, unaware of the term.

Not just Matthew, but even Fred listened in. Although he knew some of these from his friendship with the aborigines, he hadn’t heard of it from the point of view of a fellow Alteran. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
