After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2130

Chapter 2130: Garan Crosses Over

"This is amazing!"

"I didn’t know food could taste like this!"

"I was in Orc Heaven for a second!"

"I feel...I feel like a different orc!"

"Look, look! Did my tail grow longer!?"

"Did it?"

The tail, of course, did not really grow longer. It was an illusion created by his extreme emotions. Even if it did, it was probably temporary, like a goosebump.

The other orcs had more or less similar awed reactions as they tasted the strawberry and the new kind of sweetness that burst into their mouths.

When someone got too emotional and almost crushed the strawberry with his claws, he was sent flying away before he did so.

Orcs’ reaction speeds were really impressive, but she had never seen them so fast before!

Anyway, they all looked like they’d opened a whole new world after each bite. She could tell that strawberry would be the ’next big thing’ in this tribe.

This was also another one of her great leverages.

She silently noted to input some power in her space farm later. She also added more energy for the berries. This would be too useful for when she needed to build relationships later.

Further, since it was a plant she could grow in her space, it was a readily renewable leverage. It could be considered as currency here, which meant...that she could pretty much ’print money’.

That said, the only ’goods’ she was interested in were labor and information.

It didn’t take long before all the strawberries in the basket were gone, and there were even some arguments at the side, mostly escalating into brawls. Had the area been bigger, the brawl would’ve been bigger.

Right now, the two orcs fighting—a wolf and a tiger orc— just wrestled, trying to fight for the big piece of strawberry the tiger had on hand.

It was then that a hooved hand appeared to take it instead, and the piece went straight to the thief’s mouth.

!!!

The brawl escalated once more, adding one more member.

...

Ohara and some other orcs who were closer to Althea got a few perks, i.e. extra pieces of strawberries. "What is this thing?" the goat asked as she blissfully bit into the fruit, the sweet tart juices flowing into her tongue.

It was quite amusing that she only decided to ask this now, after she was on her third bite.

"It’s called a strawberry," she said. "It’s very unique to my place."

"I’m so curious about your homeplace!"

"Are there many magical things there?"

"Are there many of these?"

"Hmn. It is also made into various things like shakes, er, slimy cold juices, and other sweets." She realized she couldn’t use dessert names because they wouldn’t have recognized any of them.

"Wowowowow! I wanna go there someday!"

"Me, too!"

"That phone thing, too, is so amazing!"

"Althea said there are many who can do wood orc skills there!"

"Wowwww..."

Looking at them this way, Althea couldn’t help but remember the pureblooded orcs on the other side.

The great migration of the orcs from this side to that side happened a long time ago, and the orcs who were there were no longer alive. The orcs didn’t exactly keep records either, so it was unclear how they got there.

To the orcs’ knowledge, they were just nomads with nowhere to go and somehow ended up there.

But was that really so easy? Her impression of orcs was that they didn’t even like hanging too close to the walls because of the number of monsters there. There was no need to go to the walls unless they needed the meat of high-level beasts.

She had also grown to know more about them as she studied and talked to them. A few may have the ’spirit of exploration,’ but it certainly wouldn’t get to the scale of the migration of what had been a tribe or a few.

She, once again, began to wonder: Why and how did the first batch of orcs go all the way to the other side?

It was here that Althea found out that among the orcs, grudges and insults were remembered forever—which was why Baku and Gill fight was still going on.
