After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 81

Baron stared at the now-empty pot with regret, and it was only now that he had the mind to return to the previous topic.

"You’ve been to the other side of this place." He asked, "Then do you know where the Village center is?"

The others looked at him with interest, Baron continued speaking. "Other than looking for you guys, we were also walking around, determining where it is after we saw the announcement.

"My cousin is an engineer, but she didn’t really practice much.

"Her hobby was mostly carpentry, she auctioned off a number of special resin tables and carved furniture." Baron sold his cousin proudly like it was all his achievements.

"She’s living in the other house though, she was injured a bit during our final run before arrows from the towers killed the monsters chasing us..."

Sheila, Harold, and the others nodded. They remembered this person. She was very strong, standing tall even when her body was gushing with blood.

Fortunately, Sheila was a nurse and always had homeostatic medicine in her space, so she survived.

"I’m a businessman. I pretty much loved money my whole life.

"Since we are here, I hope to see the opportunities here and still live well with my loved ones."

Harold looked at Althea, who nodded in response. As such, the old man continued to be the spokesperson of the team. "We were actually thinking of renting a few stores ourselves."

Baron’s eyes brightened, eyes zoning on Sheila, who cringed. "Shall we go together then?" He asked with a weird smile.

More time to bond with his angel!

…

As they walked along the large pathway, they couldn’t help but admire the surroundings.

Because of the lack of development and population, there was little difference outside and inside the wall. For the most part, it was all forests.

However, the main difference was that there were large carriageways and sidewalks with trees in between them. This pathwalk, framed by the tree canopies and plants, actually made for a visual treat.

Speaking of beauty, the young men couldn’t help but steal a glance at a certain pregnant woman. To their surprise, they saw Althea was clicking on the air.

They couldn’t help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"I’m arranging my space." Althea lied without blinking, and the two men shrugged, believing her.

What Althea was actually doing was setting up the Village Center before they got there.

Ignoring other people’s gazes, she continued to manipulate the window as she walked.

The Village Center window had a total of a number of five tabs available for use.

First was the Inquiry Window, where people could gather some information for a price.

Next, a Purchase Window, where people could sell certain items to the territory.

There would also be lucky purchases, in which case she would really earn money. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

Her stomach was simply too big now with the occasional contractions, she really couldn’t bear to squat down for long periods of time anymore.

As for the final Property tabs, she simply inputted the previous pricing she had decided.

That was: 1 detached house (1/10) set rented for 200 copper a day, purchased for 50 gold. Duplex Houses (2/10) rented at 100 copper per day, and sold for 30 gold. The dorm type bed spaces (32/240) was 1 copper per day.

Farm villas (3/3) would be rented for 5 silver or 500 copper a day and bought for 100 gold.

For commercial (0/10), the cost was only a bit higher than the detached houses for rent, because the only difference was the additional customization.

The mixed-use buildings were rented or bought on a per-unit basis. That was to say, if they hoped to own the commercial spot, they’d also have to buy the unit above.

As a benefit of contributing to the economy, she set the rental price at almost the same price as a detached house.

She nodded. This was fair.

She got her gold in various multiples of investment and the buyers… would be buying a comfortable life. Very fair, indeed.

As for purchasing the commercial unit though, because they were prime spaces, she couldn’t bear to set the same price. So she set it to quite a bit more residential units, at 80 gold.

She believed in her territory. Anyone who invested in real estate in her land… would definitely profit from it. This was her promise.
