After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 714

At this time, a certain mother and son were happily shopping around and showing off their newfound wealth.

They were even planning to buy a house! The market prices of the houses had skyrocketed and they could only afford downpayment, but that was good enough for them!

They only saw the money they got as well as the combined money Amos gave. They totally forgot about the contribution point requirements. It could be used to buy residencies for family members, but said family members could not use other people’s to buy properties named to them.

But these two don’t even read the rules, let alone truly follow them, so they were just basking in their newfound wealth.

"Who’d have thought all those gossip so useful!" Alon said.

Alon and his mother, depending fully on Amos for livelihood, spent their days gossiping and lurking around the territory. Baltimore’s team was very lucky to have found them. Most of the other citizens who could be bribed wouldn’t have had half the information that they gave.

They grinned as they stared at the lovely marble platform where they were choosing their next abode!

Good bye dormitories! They can finally be among the people who had a house!

Anyway, the two had chosen a house—just one of the duplexes, but they could find more information to sell—and happily went to purchase it.

[Transaction Failed.]

"WHAT?!"

"NO!" Balon gritted her teeth, while Alon glared at the innocent platform. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

"This damned thing!" Alon yelled, tapping the platform with a lot of his strength. Fortunately, Alon was very weak and his wild tapping didn’t damage it at all.

Before Alon could ’damage’ it a bit more, new voices arrived near them and they realized there were guards nearby.

It was no other than Reno, who had two other guards next to him. They were staring at the two, making them intimidated.

"W-What is it?" Balon said, though she flinched when she remembered what her son had been doing. "D-Don’t mind him. He doesn’t have much strength. He can’t damage anything."

Sad for them, it wasn’t why the guards were there. "We received report of suspicious activity, specifically, you two."

This naturally made the two guilty people sweat a lot and panic. "W-What are you talking about?"

"We’re doing nothing suspicious!" The old woman yelled, but her feet were moving weirdly, as if preparing to run at a moment’s notice.

Alon was much more aggressive. "Leave us alone!" he yelled. "Don’t accuse us innocent people willy-nilly!"

They were being so obvious that if a child was there, they’d point at them and sing: ’liar, liar, pants on fire~!’

The guards naturally did no such thing. Instead, they only crossed their arms, with Reno looking at them with an unchanging expression on his face. "We’d like to ask you a couple of questions."

The two guards stood firmly next to them, and they knew they had no escape. Fortunately, they calmed down enough so they didn’t run in the end, realizing it would’ve made them even more suspicious.

They forced themselves to keep cool. "L-Let us finish this first!" Balon said, eyes desperate to spend the money. Her instincts was telling her she could lose it if they didn’t hold tightly to it!

Reno saw this, his expression not changing. "You can’t buy a house."

"What do you mean we can’t!? We have the money!"

"It requires a high amount of contribution points, something you don’t have yet. Go outside and kill some monsters."

"No! I have money!"

"Yes, yes, we have money!"

"Where’d you get the money?" Reno asked. They were here specifically because they received a lot of reports about this pair.
