Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL)-Chapter 540 - 539: Reaching the first base southwards 6

"You can just use them to exchange for what we have based on the North Base exchange value of goods and contribution points.

The amount that you’ll pay would depend on how much good you’ll give them as help.

Of course, you guys also need to think properly, as we will probably have to go to a lot of bases this time, and if you guys meet other kids again, are you going to give some help again later? Then, how much would you guys give?

And don’t forget that you kids are just helping out. Don’t forget to save some for yourselves, as you guys will also use them in the future.

And if something happened to us, those that you’re holding would only be the ones you will probably use for a long time until you guys can support yourselves."

He didn’t want to dampen their will to help others but he still had to let them think about what he said.

He didn’t forbid them from helping, as they indeed had some resources which would be enough to help others.

However, he had to let them calculate or think about how much they could give as help while also thinking about what they would encounter in the future and considering their own future.

He doesn’t want to raise saints that would help out others without even leaving anything for themselves, because in the time that they were in, those around them would have to bear their willfulness.

It is better to ingrain in them that they could only help others if they could help without compromising themselves, especially in the times that they were in.

A lot of things could happen in the time that they were in and they might be left on their own, so they should already learn to save something for themselves that they could use in the future so that even without them, they’ll probably live longer.

"You guys can think about it together," Luciel added while looking at the kids, who obviously started thinking.

"Sister Astrid, please help me calculate how much I can give," Ashlee immediately turned to Astrid.

The other kids also turned to the other older kids with them to help them calculate and think about how much they could give.

They also asked their older sisters and brothers to think about what they could do to properly give all the food they planned to the kids without anyone getting it from them.

Since they were still thinking about it, Luciel paid attention to the kids in the alley that were also listening to what they were saying and watching them.

"Kids, come here for a bit. While they’re still discussing what to give to you guys, let’s talk for a bit," Luciel called to the kids who were looking at them.

The kids still didn’t move from their spot. So, Luciel brought out one of his daggers and said, "I’ll give one to those who come here."

As soon as they saw the dagger, the kids began moving immediately and arrived in front of him. It seemed that they prioritized something that they could use for protection.

In the base that they were in, it’s probably very difficult for them to survive on their own, which is why they were gathered in one place.

They’re probably looking out for each other, but as kids, they still don’t have enough strength to protect themselves.

Even if they’re probably receiving some relief from the base, it would probably be a bit difficult for them to even protect the things that they have received from the adults, who also lack everything.

So, a proper dagger is certainly very attractive to them. With it, at least they would have another thing that they could use for protection.

"Are you really going to give a dagger to all of us?" an older girl asked.

"Yes, since you guys came, I’ll surely give it to you guys."

"But you’re only holding one and there are fourteen of us here," another older boy said.

"Don’t worry, that’s not a problem at all. I said I’ll give it, then I’ll give it. However, if I give it to you guys, what are you going to use it for?"

"Of course, I’m going to use it to cut off the hands of those that always get our food," the girl said.

The other kids also said the same thing, but just in different words.

"I see. I’ll give it to you guys later after those kids finish discussing what they’re going to give you guys."

"You’re really going to give it to us? Why are you willing to give it to us? We can’t do anything for you.

I understand those kids wanting to help us because of pity, but you are clearly an adult who is already well-versed in reality and seemed to be a very practical person.

And why are you letting them think over something when it’s indeed true that if something happens, what they have will be very helpful to them?

It’s better to save a lot than to let them live like us in the future," the girl said again.

It seemed that the girl was a very intelligent one and already knew and understood a lot of things; that’s why she had a lot of questions.

"You’re intelligent; that’s good. As long as you use your intelligence properly, you should be able to live more easily," Luciel said, and then added, "I’m giving it just because I said I’ll give it.

So even if I don’t pity you guys, I’ll still give it to you because I said I’ll give it to you, and of course, because I have them.

If I didn’t have a lot of daggers, I wouldn’t give some to you guys.

As for why I didn’t stop the kids from helping—it’s because they thought of doing such a thing on their own."

They have even thought of something to exchange it with so Luciel didn’t dismiss their idea of helping others at all.
