After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 169

Aberdeen City, a few years prior

Inside the custom laboratory inside their own home, a certain plant enthusiast had submerged herself in her creations.

Alicia sighed and just placed the food on a clean surface (which was much smaller than before) before heading outside.

After all these years, they knew it was counterproductive to distract her when she was in her own zone.

If there wasn’t an explosion, then the experiment could fail altogether and she definitely wouldn’t eat until she recreated the destroyed progress.

All they could hope was that her stomach rumbled enough to distract her and she smelled the food on the tray.

Looking back at her nominal daughter, she reluctantly left the room, trying not to make too much noise.

Hours later, Althea finally emerged from the zone and lifted a small beaker with pinkish liquid.

It was her special moisturizer, designed to greatly improve the smoothness of skin regardless of skin type!

"I did it! This will definitely be a gold mine~" She said, a little smug. Next up would be other beauty products. Then, when she gained more knowledge, she would start creating medicinal solutions as well.

Hopefully, these medicines would help out her husband and help keep him safe.

Anyway, with more resources and money, she could travel more and procure more and rarer materials.

She couldn’t depend on her husband, parents, and Winona all the time, right?

She stretched, satisfied with today’s achievements. But as she did so, her stomach rumbled.

"Hungry…" she mumbled, and she turned her head, her emerald eyes ending on the tray with a smile.

Food after success was just so much more delicious!

Altera Village, Present.

Inside her laboratory filled with powder and different parts of plants, a certain auburn-haired woman stared at an invisible screen with bright eyes.

Some of these had actually appeared before, but she didn’t have much time to appreciate them much because she was in the zone.

She definitely did apply them as soon as she could, though.

After spending the past few days inside her lab, she finally got it! And the rewards were satisfying!

It was worth noting that skills she received after becoming a pharmacist seemed to be growth-type skills.

From the NPCs, Growth-type skills improved the more it was practiced effectively.

She liked this setup very much.

She then looked at the skill she also received a day ago.

[Growth Skill Advance Identification (Lv1): Assess basic combinations (Level E-D), descriptions, and functions. Consumption: 10 Mana]

After all, she really neglected this aspect of her profession. Now that she had already given birth, the time for her exploration would come soon.

Not to mention, the practicality would allow her to go home earlier, giving her time with her babies!

She looked at her equipment list with satisfaction, finally going out of the room for things other than food and a short nap.

She stopped at a table and saw a lot of food prepared. With a smile, she washed her hands and extended them to get a bite.

She ate very quickly though…, after all, she had not played with her babies for days!
