After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 95

Althea looked at the announcement with interest. Obviously, the gold transactions here referred to both purchase and selling. After all, it had only been a few days.

In any case, she estimated that she’d be able to upgrade the Village Center in a day or two.

But, Althea had a feeling. She had a feeling that the Protection Period was an integral time to gain strength.

She simply could not wait around for a day. Who knew, what if she made a miscalculation and found out that month was actually shorter than in Terran? What would she do then? Who knew what kind of alien time system this place had in place.

She would never, ever, place her new home and family at risk for such carelessness again.

Thinking for a bit, she decided to fast track it a little. How to increase the number of transactions? Trade, of course!

The Village hall could buy and sell using platforms by making announcements, and this wasn’t limited to the Lord.

As such, in order to increase the transactions, she sent out gathering missions with-root/undamaged plants at a higher price under her own name.

Another advantage of doing this was the fact that the village center had a similar function to her Assessment skill. That was: When a trade was made through the little tables in the building, stats and uses would appear, allowing people to be able to study the trades better.

She reckoned the building’s assessment skill would not be limited by the level of the item like it did hers, which was why she thought the building was better.

In this way, both parties could estimate the value and allow the transactions to be more clearcut. It was worth noting that this was only applicable for the trade function, and not the ’selling’ function, where the plants went straight to the warehouse.

Of course, the territory not only enjoyed 10% tax on all transactions, but the trade itself had a small fee of 1 silver to 10, depending on the mass of the items traded. In a sense, sending out trading announcements would get her rebates.

Satisfied with the set-up, she went home to finally get her rest.

That night, in her new bed (using the washed duvet they took from the hotel), she lied down comfortably and looked at her warehouse.

It was a new habit of hers that was both cumbersome and very, very, fun. It was like unboxing a delivery she didn’t know the components of.

She was perusing through the space with her mind, counting that a good part of the floor had already been occupied by various plants.

Fortunately the stone and wood automatically entered the resource space which counted as her usable resource during construction, otherwise they would definitely occupy her territory space, without leaving her enough area for everything else.

She roughly arranged the items with her mind, a very useful feature of the warehouse. It was fortunate she could do so, otherwise she might give birth due to overexertion.

Just like this, several plants magically floated around and landed on their designated piles. The dried plants on one place, the seeds on another one, and replantable plants on yet another.

Hopefully, the cabinets she ordered from Baron’s team arrived soon so she could better organize the warehouse. She also ordered some wide-threaded ladders so she could easily access the top shelves without straining herself.

Don’t look at her climbing fences and jumping tree to tree a few days prior, but she was really feeling the heaviness now. After she levelled up, in fact, which was weird because she should’ve gotten stronger instead.
