The last building slot set her up for a bad case of analysis paralysis.
She was deciding between the Armory (Lv1) and the Warehouse (Lv1).
Both options had their pros and cons, and she was a little confused as to which one she should build. freeweɓnovel.cøm
She turned around to look at the people who had been following her around as she set up the buildings, staring around in childlike wonder.
This was understandable, as seeing edifices slowly materialize—speck by speck—from the ground up within a day was indeed a miraculous sight.
She reckoned if there was popcorn, they would’ve consumed several buckets by now.
"I need your opinion on something." She asked after clearing her throat, catching their attention.
"Yes boss, anything!" They said, obviously very excited about anything territory-related.
"I have one more building slot to fill up and I’m ambivalent between two options." She told them, "I’m torn between Armory (Lv1) and Warehouse (Lv1)." She said, and then she directly stated some of the pros and cons of each one.
The others were also confused and conflicted.
For better or for worse, only armor makers could create defense equipment effective against monsters. Their leather clothing from Terran, created by advanced science, could not compare.
Althea mused it must have to do with some local elements they didn’t know. Similar to how a set of bows and arrows could be more effective than a gun.
In any case, this was basically a choice between additional defense for an individual and something that would bring great convenience and advantages to the territory administration.
Sheila shut her eyes and pursed her lips, thinking. Defense was good, but the warehouse was also good.
Harold, as a housekeeper, and thus had a bit of bias towards the warehouse. However, he was also very aware of the merits of the armory instead. Knowing he wouldn’t be able to provide a smart argument, he opted not to speak for now.
It was Eugene who said his piece first. "The armory is good, but it only produces Level E equipment for now."
They were all relatively high level compared to the monsters here, not to mention the huge wall that protected them. "The convenience of the warehouse, on the other hand, is very high.
"Not only would Boss have additional ’space’ with a fresh-keeping function, but Boss could also use this in attacking and defending."
Althea agreed. Leaving aside the huge space, there were plenty of other functions that could have if used well.
For instance, making a piece of slab appear in front as a shield. For instance, storing a boulder and throwing it over a person’s head.
She had long wanted to do so, as early as when she was just dealing with zombies.
Sadly, the space wasn’t big enough at the time.
In the end, she just needed a second opinion, because people’s instinctive choice was to fully equip themselves before any convenience.
The other two saw his point and nodded in agreement.
Althea opened her lord panel again and decided to choose to build a Warehouse (Lv1).
