Apocalypse After
High Prestige
About seven in the morning on the same day.
“It looks like you are getting used to living a comfortable life.”
Hearing Aurora's remark, Alexander shrugged with a flat expression on his face. If you say you enjoy it, you enjoy it. However, the young man was not at all negligent and always focused on his priorities.
“What if you do too? Take one or two to take home?” alexander was relaxed.
“I'm not someone like you. In addition, my residence is too narrow compared to yours.” Aurora shook her head.
“Just rent somewhere else.”
“Cih! Everyone is as good as you.” Aurora looked around the room she stayed in and continued. “Not only take advantage of friends, you get extra income from buying and selling goods on the black market. Even lately you get a lot of benefits.”
“Who is taking advantage of friends?” Alexander raised his eyebrows, looking dissatisfied.
“You still ask me for service charge, isn't that taking advantage?”
“Hey, the price I requested is only 75% of the cost of manufacturing services of potions or equipment in the market. You are already 25% profit, how can I take advantage?” Alexander shook his head lightly.
“Then let me pay only 25% market price. That's called helping friends,” Aurora said without the slightest embarrassment.
Although he belongs to the category of quickly accumulating wealth, but can not be compared with Alexander.
Ever since coming to Shelter 13, Aurora thought her speed was already incredible as if she was riding the wind. However, somehow there was a b-bitch that suddenly appeared and caught up with him. In fact, there were signs that the person was going through it.
It's really unbearable! It made him so upset that he rolled around in bed at night, not sleeping well because he thought about it!
In addition, Aurora has also investigated Alexander. Although there were many rumors that the young man was dealing with the two women he was carrying, he came alone to meet them. After hearing the stories of the two of them, Aurora felt shocked and embarrassed.
Alexander is indeed ‘indulge their’. However, the meaning of pampering was different from what he thought. It turned out that the young man taught them both various abilities. Alexander also fed them enough, making them live their best lives.
Even Daisy and Aster said that the decision to belong to Alexander was the happiest thing in their lives. They felt it was the time when they were most fortunate.
Before following Alexander, they lived in fear and hunger. Even after finding a partner, they were still afraid and starving.
Ever since knowing the facts, Aurora was no longer angry at Alexander. Even more respect for him.
At first he felt he had to straighten out the false news that spread, but eventually gave up doing so because he felt that Alexander let the news spread for a reason.
After all, Aurora knew Alexander as a strong person but pretended to be weak, rich but stingy, and intelligent but tended to be cunning. So it's better to let that person do what he wants.
“You really bully the poor!” alexander said in a dissatisfied tone.
Alexander thought there was something big because Aurora wanted to meet him. But in the end, he felt he was being robbed.
“Miskey? You really dare say that you are poor?” aurora said as she glanced at Alexander coldly.
“Errr ... is actually not that bad, but I have three stomachs to feed!”
Seeing how shameless Alexander was, Aurora felt like slapping him hard.
The price of food for the three of them to eat a month was obviously only worth a few low-level stamina potions. In addition, Alexander was also good at hunting and gathering food. There is no need to spend money to eat.
“Then how many discounts can you give?” ask Aurora patiently.
“Ugh ..” Alexander stroked his chin. “You can pay 60% market price.”
“Too bad! I will pay 30%, then will give you promising business.”
“What kind of business?” alexander asked with suspicion.
“Do not think only your high prestige (pamor), White Flash. As a female hunter, I am quite popular among women who want to escape from their bad luck.
I know some women who occasionally ask me for advice. I can introduce them to you as a customer. Give them 80% market price and they will be your customers.”
“It was really bad.” Alexander shook his head. “First, giving you 30% market price is impossible. At worst, 50% of the market price is without any other offer. In addition, selling it cheaply to others will make them suspicious, so the cost becomes 90% market price.”
“It ..” Aurora was worried.
“When talking about female hunter apprentices, I immediately thought of many things. Most of them must have had problems, such as being bullied when making teams even forced to pay a fortune when hiring the services of making weapons or potions.
Either utilized by teammates or the craftsmen. For the sake of pursuing their dreams and coming out of the dark abyss, most of them would do so.
Of course, there are some exceptions. It's just, most of them are.”
Aurora did not reply, but she clearly understood the situation the female hunters were facing. You could say, that woman was indeed much luckier than them.
Seeing the Aurora start to move, Alexander began to add.
“With the appearance of you who ‘without background’ can become a hunter, they become increasingly eager to pursue a dream that initially looks like a mirage.
You have helped them by giving tips for them to create their own small team, cover themselves in robes, and hunt in a relatively quiet environment. Even avoiding others even if they were fellow apprentices.
It makes them more comfortable.
Just imagine. If they had a place to make equipment and potions cheaper and safer without fear of being harassed. They could definitely save little by little, eventually having a higher chance of escaping suffering.
At that very instant, your prestige would rise even higher. Even ...”
Alexander whispered softly.
“You can be considered a hero to those mistreated women.”
Alexander whispered like a hammer that broke the last layer of Aurora doubt. Having a serious and determined expression on her face, the woman nodded as she said.
“Really! That way, I can prove to those people that women can not only be a burden, cook, and give offspring. They also have a chance to fight!”
Hearing that, Alexander laughed kindly as he extended his hand.
“Then please cooperate from now.”

Her night.
Alexander came to the pub to have a drink with Clayton. Although the man often asked her to buy him a drink, but she did not really care. After all, the young man had also gained quite a lot of benefits from the information Clayton had provided.
Although not doing it directly, but Clayton did occasionally save him from unnecessary problems.
“You're finally here, buddy! We haven't met for a few days! You are now becoming more famous, buddy!” clayton said with a grin on his face, apparently showing off that Alexander was a close friend.
“Three days recuperate, then several days relax.”
Alexander shrugged his shoulders. He placed two bottles of berry juice on the table and sat down on the chair opposite Clayton.
“You really turned down a big offer, pal. That was awesome!” clayton.
As Clayton said, Alexander turned down the offer from Blood Cross. Three days after the battle against the waves of ferocious beasts, the situation became more stable. Back then, there were some representatives who had come to his residence to invite him to become a member of Blood Cross.
Not just inviting, but giving him a very high offer. As long as Alexander joined, he would get offers one level above his level.
That meant, whether it was his monthly salary or rank would be equivalent to a level 2 hunter. As long as he rose to level 2, his treatment was equivalent to level 3. It was truly something too overwhelming and made many people jealous.
Alexander chose to reject it. When Blood Cross thought that the young man was dissatisfied and asked for higher treatment, he said the reason.
‘Freedom.’
The word made many people feel angry, confused, and astonished. They wanted to blame Alexander, but could not do it because such a thing could not be valued at a price.
To someone, being a slave was something to be happy about.
For others, high office is not at all as beautiful as freedom in this chaotic world.
In the end, Alexander also said that he was willing to help Blood Cross to perform various missions. Yet he would be paid as a mercenary, not needing high rank and excessive grooming, but also not wasting his freedom.
That way, Alexander's prestige skyrocketed. Many people in Shelter 13 knew him, not just as a fool who rejected wealth ...
But also the youth is friendly, kind, and loves peace and freedom.
