18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 241

After a three-day break, Stella was back on her grind.

She had spent over a month collecting wood, stone, sand, steel, and bricks, steadily accumulating 60,000 points in the process.

As she browsed the list of items she could exchange for her points, she was disappointed to find it mostly consisted of food, clothes, and alcohol - items she had no use for. This made her reconsider her plan of accumulating more points.

With the materials she had handed over, a significant amount of space was freed up in Arcadia, allowing for more cultivation.

Jasper, concerned about Stella's workload, suggested, "Why don't we find Monkey? Maybe we can trade for a planting and harvesting machine?"

"Fine," Stella agreed, "I have nothing better to do while we wait for Newtown to be completed."

But to her surprise, Monkey was nowhere to be found.

After several fruitless days of searching in the trading street, Stella remembered that Rob lived near Eastwood Eden. With Rob's help, they finally tracked down Monkey.

"How can I help you?" Monkey asked, dust caked on his face and a sense of urgency in his voice. "I'm in the middle of scavenging."

He explained that his wife was nagging him about moving to Newtown, and despite his best efforts, he couldn't accumulate enough points. So, he had no choice but to risk his life scavenging.
