Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 327: New Year Celebrations and Gifts

Witnessing this method, Kim Haru gave the Cryo Wolf a thumbs-up in admiration.

Only these cold-resistant Cryo Wolf could pull off such a unique drying method.

While they cooperated during bath time, the Cryo Wolf were less agreeable when it came to trimming their fur.

The first one that get trimmed is Snowball No. 1.

It's still didn't know what was coming.

However, when it saw tufts ofitshis fur falling, it froze, and then run away in panic.

But Kim Haru quickly subdued him.

"Just a little trim to make you all rounder," Kim Haru reassured him.

Snowball No. 1, on the verge of tears, was trimmed into an even rounder and fluffier snowball.

Kim Haru kept his promise, trimming only a little, but with a wash, cut, and blow-dry, the Cryo Wolf ended up looking even rounder than before.

Given their size, even a small trim from each dog resulted in a pile of fur that accumulated into a fluffy mound on the ground after grooming all eleven Cryo Wolf.

"How about I make pillows out of your fur for you?" Kim Haru suggested, gazing at the snow-white, fluffy pile and thinking it would be a waste to throw it away. "Consider it a New Year's gift."

Someone skilled could probably craft a fluffy Cryo Wolf from this, but Kim Haru didn't see himself as that talented.

As for Go Okrim and Kang Hose?

Survivors of the apocalypse only remembered skills for killing zombies and staying alive.

Doll-making skill has been long forgotten.

The Cryo Wolf didn't object, so Kim Haru gathered all the fur.

Over the next two days, he made eleven pillows as promised and placed them in the Cryo Wolf' kennels.

Smelling their own fur, the Cryo Wolf were instantly delighted.

On New Year's Eve, even Kim Haru, who usually loved sleeping in, woke up early.

When he stepped outside, Go Okrim and Kang Hose had already finished all the farm chores, including feeding the ducks, chickens, and pigs, and watering the greenhouse.

"Good morning, Mr. Kim! Happy New Year!"

"Morning, Hyung! Happy New Year!"

Both of them greeted him cheerfully.

Kim Haru smiled back. "Good morning, and Happy New Year to you too."

Today's plans had been set long in advance.

The three of them would head to the Pyeongseong Safe Zone for lunch with other farm staff like Hwa Jian, Han Gwonhee, and the Delta Squad.

Moon Baein as the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander, was busy today and couldn't join them, but he promised to make time if possible.

After all, it was the farm crew's first New Year together, and even Moon Baein didn't want to miss it.

As for the venue?

Kim Haru had chosen it: the Green Basket Vegetable Shop in the Second District.

During the New Year period, the shop naturally wouldn't remain open.

A notice about the closure had been posted several days in advance.

Those who needed to purchase supplies had already stocked up well ahead of time, so no one raised objections to the announcement.

The Cryo Wolf would also accompany Kim Haru to the celebration.

Although they couldn't enter the indoor space, their joyful spirits wouldn't be diminished one bit while staying outside.

The lunch was prepared by Hwa Jian, Han Gwonhee, and the Delta Squad.

Although they didn't have an abundance of seasonings, having survived in a post-apocalypse world for so long, they were well-practiced in making the best of what they had.

Even with simple ingredients, they managed to prepare a table full of dishes using various methods, resulting in a feast that was extraordinarily sumptuous.

After the meal, the Delta Squad took out a box and handed it to Kim Haru.

"Mr. Kim, a New Year's gift for you."

Hwa Jian followed suit, retrieving a small box from his pocket and placing it in front of Kim Haru.

"Mr. Kim, this is my New Year's gift for you."

Han Gwonhee also took out a box and added it to the pile.

"This is mine."

Then Hwa Jian pulled out yet another box from a drawer.

"This is from the Safe Zone Commander; he asked me to deliver it to you as his New Year's gift."

Looking at the stack of boxes in front of him, varying in size, Kim Haru accepted them all.

He then retrieved nine identical boxes from his system inventory.

"The timing is perfecr. I prepared something for you all as well. One for each of you—Happy New Year."

Everyone was thrilled.

None of them had expected that Kim Haru would also prepare New Year's gifts for them.

They eagerly took the boxes in their hands.

Go Okrim carefully securing his gift box, hurried to explain: "Hyung, I also prepared a New Year's gift for you, but I didn't bring it along. It's still at the small farm. I was planning to give it to you during dinner tonight."

He seemed worried that Kim Haru might misunderstand and think he hadn't put any thought into a gift.

Kang Hose also mentioned that his gift was still back at the farm, just like Go Okrim's.

Kim Haru didn't mind whether they had gifts for him or not, just as he didn't care about the monetary value of the gifts others had prepared for him.

To him, the thought behind the gesture was far more important than the gift itself.

Go Okrim unable to contain his curiosity, asked: "Hyung, can I open it now?"

"Go ahead," Kim Haru nodded.

The others exchanged a glance before eagerly tearing open their boxes as well.

Inside each box was a book.

The nine gifts contained identical copies of the same book.

When the recipients opened them, they were stunned by the contents!

The book's title was 101 Ways to Use Crystal Cores.

At first glance, the name seemed peculiar, even absurd.

However, as they delved into its pages, the information within shook them to their cores.

The book contain the detailed information about various methods for utilizing crystal cores.
