After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 98

The team had been lounging in their new living room after that sumptuous meal when a ding sounded in Althea’s ears.

[1000 gold transactions confirmed!]

Althea was not surprised. After all, the farms had been rented now, a lot of stone and wood resources had been exchanged, and including the order she made under her name, there were plenty of transactions that happened in one day.

[✓] 1000 successful transactions _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

[✓] 1000 gold transactions (1003/1000)]

[Detected! Conditions for upgrading Village Center had been met.]

[Would you like to upgrade for 500 wood, 300 stone, and 800 gold?]

"..."

Good lord, this upgrade was thrice as expensive than building one from scratch?

Looking painfully at her rapidly disappearing resources, she pressed YES.

She decided that luxury purchases like custom houses would require not only gold, but also wood and stone resources. Milk the rich people well!

She opened the window and except for the 2 more purchase slots and a new Rules and Regulations tab, there seemed to have no change.

One must know that they could make some simple prohibitions even at level one, for a price. For example, no fight, no theft, etc.

If it occured, an alert her or whoever she assigned to implement the rules (like Derek), and they would handle it from there.

So what was the difference with the new tab?

A bit disappointed, she decided to see the building for herself, making the others stare at follow her movements.

"Where are you going, boss?"

"Village Center is updated." She just said, but it was enough for everyone to stand up and leave whatever they had been doing.

They arrived at the updated building a few minutes later, and they could hear the charter around. "I saw a building grow on its own!"

"It was like magic."

"Can buildings just get taller by themselves??"

"Maybe! Like those infrastructure games I used to play."

Walking past the crowd, they finally got closer. It was now twice as large, and twice as imposing.

Inside, the area was enlarged with more platforms and surfaces. There was also an additional marble counter in the other end, with no platforms on the way from the door towards it.

There was also a staircase on both sides of this empty concierge.

They saw a few people climbing up excitedly to see what was inside. Unfortunately, they seemed to be stopped by an invisible wall.

"It’s forbidden." Someone mumbled in disappointment, swiping around like a mime. "Nope. If there’s an opening, I can’t find it."

Another one stepped in next to him, doing different movements, looking no less idiotic.

Disappointed, the man’s shoulder slumped, "Me neither."

Another sigh. "Let’s just go."

Althea, who had been watching their exchange, frowned. If she wanted to hide her identity, did it mean she had to watch out for people before going to the second floor every time?

"Is anything the matter?" Sheila asked and she shook her head.

"I’ll tell you later." She whispered and the team went back to their base with a lot of questions.
