My God-Level System Can Rebuild Civilization in the Apocalypse!
Chapter 201: Choosing a TerritoryAfter all, the information gap between both sides was simply too great.
He had no idea how many loopholes still remained in his list of requirements.
Because of that, whenever he had free time over the next few days, he planned to stay buried in the review sections and product pages of those shops, searching for every clue that might prove useful to him.
His goal was to reduce the risks as much as possible.
Of course, if he could also reduce the price as much as possible, that would be even better.
As long as a designer was willing to contact him, he would still have a chance.
There was no helping it.
His funds were simply too limited.
Otherwise, he would not have needed to worry about so many details.
Now, however, he could only negotiate with people who were practically tigers waiting to devour him.
Joo Joowon had already begun to sense that the true danger of the High Risk Zone was not simply dishonest merchants.
It involved something much deeper.
However, the thirty day time limit for the quest was far from generous.
Joo Joowon was not confident that he could actually save enough money within that period.
At this point, he could not even afford the cheapest thatched hut.
Since he would probably end up being taken advantage of no matter what, he might as well take the initiative.
At least if the other side profited, he would not come away empty handed either.
Since he was not certain whether his plan would succeed, Joo Joowon chose not to dwell on it any longer. Instead, he forced himself to focus and began thinking about where to establish his territory.
First of all, the location definitely had to be somewhere near Sabi City.
Given the current state of transportation, he simply could not travel very far.
He certainly could not afford to waste precious time on the road.
Second, the place needed to be sparsely populated.
It was said that it was better to prevent thieves than to constantly worry about attracting their attention.
A territory could not simply pick itself up and move away.
The last thing Joo Joowon wanted was to have people constantly watching it.
Finally, it also had to provide an environment suitable for his residents.
His current residents consisted of two cats, one ant and one cactus.
The cactus could simply be planted in the ground.
The ant would dig tunnels.
The cats would need places similar to climbing frames where they could jump and climb.
Taking food sources into consideration as well... The mountains?
Joo Joowon actually did not dislike the idea of living in the mountains.
It was not as though food delivery still existed anyway.
At this point, it hardly mattered where he lived.
As long as the location allowed him to gain experience efficiently while maintaining a reasonable level of safety, it would be acceptable.
Unfortunately, the mountains clearly did not meet those conditions very well.
He had no idea how dangerous the plants might be.
He also had no way of knowing which animals were harmless and which were deadly.
The environment was far more complicated than the city.
Would the suburbs be a better choice?
Joo Joowon remembered that there was an abandoned golf course somewhere in the suburbs.
There was also a scenic attraction located on an island, with the entire island falling within the boundaries of the tourist area.
A golf course offered enough space and was completely open.
Joo Joowon remembered that it had been abandoned because part of the site had collapsed during construction, accidentally exposing an ancient tomb.
After that, he had never seen any further news reports, so he had no idea what eventually happened.
Aside from those two places, Joo Joowon could not think of any other suitable options.
He rarely traveled around the outskirts of the city, and there were no particularly famous landmarks surrounding Sabi City.
Perhaps he would only be able to make a final decision after conducting an on site inspection.
However, before doing that, he still had to choose a general direction.
Out of east, west, south and north, which way should he go first?
If he was going to head there now, he would definitely have to bring all of his supplies with him.
It would essentially be the same as moving house.
He could not travel too far.
As for establishing his territory inside the city itself, Joo Joowon never even considered the possibility.
A territory located in the city would constantly attract people who wanted to join.
Although he was confident he could coldly reject every one of them, if people kept showing up at his doorstep every day, it would become unbearably annoying.
The suburbs carried greater risks, but they also offered much more freedom.
Both choices had their own advantages and disadvantages.
Right now, the first problem he needed to solve was how to actually reach the suburbs.
Walking would make transporting supplies extremely inconvenient.
Although he had not gathered an enormous amount of resources over the past few days, it was certainly not a small quantity either.
Everything together could easily fill several large sacks.
Driving was not an option either.
Given the current condition of the roads, even a heavy truck would probably have difficulty moving.
To make matters even more awkward, Joo Joowon did not even have a driver’s license.
It was not because he had never taken the test.
He had simply failed.
Partly because he had never put much effort into it.
Partly because he had never really needed one.
At the time, his employer had asked him to get a license, but before he could pass the test, the employer had been arrested after being reported for tax evasion and various other crimes.
Joo Joowon had been busy searching for a new job.
On the day of the driving test, he had been distracted by a notification about a job interview, so naturally he had failed.
