After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 681

A few hours ago.

Ansel mightily strutted inside the Research Lab, steps filled with purpose and annoyance.

A lot of women were naturally staring at him, but in contrast to how it usually was, he didn’t even greet them back.

His handsome face had furrowed into a frown, his teeth gritting, and his teeth clenched.

Ansel… was very mad!

As an elder and the lord’s younger brother, he could naturally access most of the Research Center. He was also updated about the ongoings and could even influence which items were to be prioritized.

His request, the phonographs—which was already approved, by the way—had been pushed back!

He knew that Winona’s team had been developing it until yesterday. They changed to insulation cups. Why the sudden change?

How were insulation cups better than the phonograph, anyway? Sure, it can keep cold and hot drinks, right? While its main use was for his entertainment industry, with phonographs, they could record trainings and educational materials! They would also be able to record some music and the like!

Well, okay, both weren’t that needed for survival, but he requested first!

He abruptly opened the door to Winona’s office. She was currently on her desk, finalizing something he probably didn’t like.

Ansel couldn’t help but pause as he looked at her. When Winona was working, even he had to admit she was particularly attractive.

However, this little daze was quickly shooed away and he slammed the door closed to get her attention.

She lifted her head to look at him but went back to whatever she was doing.

Being ignored was one thing, being ignored by this woman was a different level of annoying!

With gritted teeth, he romped his way through her 50 square meter office. He walked past her sitting area and to her desk, pretty much slapping the table with his palm.

"What are you doing developing that insulation bottle before my phonograph?"

"My research team, my decisions!" She said. "Besides, the tools and machines needed for your phonograph is too time-consuming. It will also need glass, which is still under production.

"What about my Lithography! I was sure that was next to the line." With that, their printing press could have images!

"Insulation cups are much more useful to do now."

"How?"

"It can help with extreme weather changes!" Winona said. "Think about it, you brat, if sudden cold or sudden hot weather happens, imagine having hot or cold drink ready in your space? Plus the technology can be used in building materials, too!"

"..."

Ansel’s annoyed stance calmed a little, but his pride didn’t really allow him to completely let go.

In retrospect, if he was calm, he would’ve thought of it himself. However, being disregarded—especially by this woman—really irked him.

"Noisy old hag," he muttered under his breath before planning to go, lest he humiliated himself even more.

Winona gasped and stood up, fisting his head. "I’m only a few years older than you are!"

Ansel annoyedly rubbed his head, glaring at the woman who was now right next to him. "Still old!"
