After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1130

Den did not mind the jealous glares directed at him. He was too happy.

In total, there were quite a few people who successfully managed to buy or rent a shop house, and they all walked back to the site with metaphorical peacock feathers above their heads.

They went to check on the construction of their ’new property’, pride emanating from them so much that many people had the intrusive thought of shoving their faces to the ground.

No one dared do so, of course (thanks to the rules), and the people were quickly distracted when Den and the others made an announcement.

"So we also found out what else they’re building!’"

Immediately, they were surrounded by people who wanted to get the info.

No, they were mobbed.

Considering hundreds (if not a thousand) were trying to watch the construction of a single street. Of course, they’d be squeezed in. One could only call them stupid for enticing a mob while being in the middle of it.

The high of happiness could indeed make people stupid.

"LET US BREATHE!" He gasped, while the person next to him screamed.

"AHH!" "FUGG YOU, MISSUS LEE! THAT WAS MY TOE!"

"Sorry! No need to be so rude!" _{freёweɓnovel.com}

"I’m gonna die!"

Fortunately, they didn’t die in the end.

"Ahem!" Den coughed, waving people away to give them space.

Fortunately, they did.

There were a number of them there and they were separated by the crowd, with some being pulled deeper into it for gossip.

Den watched in horror as his companions were ’eaten up’ by the tea-hungry crowd. He stepped back, trying to direct his pull somewhere at the edge.

He somehow managed to weave through the crowd to the edge, just before the half-built walls of one of the shops there. He took a deep breath of relief before turning to see people impatiently waiting for him to speak.

"..."

Den cleared his throat again before speaking.

They got the info back in the village, er, Town Center. After they secured their units and signed contracts, someone (not him) asked what else was being built there. After all, that would greatly add to their potential foot traffic!

The concierge knew the answer to this quite well. After the elders went down the stairs, they were told about what was going to happen. They were very excited too, but it was their shift so they could only imagine the fun happening on that street.

"It’s the Post Office and Pharmacy!" he said and this naturally excited everyone exploded in glee.

"Whoa!"

"So we won’t have to line up so long to get meds!"

They also knew that Ferrol—the only friendly Town so far—had one, and some Alterrans had actually been in the Post Office there (just as tourists looking around), so they had told others of their adventures and the magic of it even before.

There were hundreds of Terrans that stayed in Ferrol for a few weeks. It gave Ferrol some extra income and injected a lot of good products into their market.

Further, there were those who built businesses there like Baron and Bull.

To these people, the Post office was heaven-sent!

The messenger birds weren’t actually public knowledge nor did anyone else other than the administration team had access to them.

Both Bull and Baron—as well as a few other ’big’ businessmen—had deals with the Terran Mercenary Team to let them rent their shops for a set amount of time.

With the post office, the communication between the two areas would practically be as fast as real-time!

They could now have real-time updates on the needs of the market there! Before, they could only make smart guesses and then wait until their stocks were consumed (which, to be fair, wasn’t a long time, but still).

Further, if an item suddenly sold really fast, they could even send letters to teammates to prepare a new batch immediately! Too awesome! Money will roll!

They could already see their business blossoming even more!

Anyway, these were all exciting developments and it fired up all those who watched.

Another step forward!
