Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1035: New Actions

Ning arrived in Seoul around 9 in the morning. He decided to come here before going to the guild.

He wanted to come to the director first, but he found himself going for the prime minister. He needed to have a small talk with the man.

"Apostle Ning, I didn't realize you had left the dungeon. No one else has," the middle-aged man said.

"I'm afraid it will take a while," Ning said. "I have something to talk to you about, prime minister.'

"What is it?" the man asked. "Is it about that magic circle? I'm afraid I don't have the time."

"You need to make time," Ning said. "Imagine being able to go from Seoul to Jeju in a single second. Imagine a barrier around the city where even S-ranked monsters wouldn't easily enter. Don't you want that? Do you really want the world to go through another dungeon break? Do you remember what happened last time?"

"We-we have Apostles now, and hunters," the prime minister said. "And we will be prepared this time around."

"Will you be prepared for SS-raked monsters? Can your hunters fight them? Imagine a thousand monsters, each as large as a skyscraper. Who would fight against that? You?" Ning asked. "Please, stop playing into the enemy's hands and just contact the other countries regarding this."

"They won't listen," the prime minister said. "Each one of these countries is busy with these newly found dungeons. They will never waste their time elsewhere at all."

"I've thought about that," Ning said as he brought out a small piece of paper. He handed it to the prime ministers.

The prime minister slowly opened the paper and found that it was a list of country names with coordinates on them.

"What's this?" the prime minister asked.

"A dungeon that their government missed while searching for the new ones. When contacting these countries, tell them that if they attend this meeting, they will get the rest of the list of dungeons that they will normally take months to find. I'm sure that will get them moving," Ning said.

"That…" the prime minister was surprised. "That might work."

"Good," Ning said. "I want the meeting set within the week. I don't care how busy anyone is or what. They must attend it. Please get it done."

Ning left the prime minister in a very weird state where he didn't know who had the higher importance in their conversation just then. He was the prime minister but Ning's word held more weight than his own.

He decided to do as told and left for his office.

Ning arrived at director Sung's office and told him everything he knew about the dungeon.

"It's… slowed time?" the director was surprised.

"Yes," Ning said. "The dungeon is about 120 times slower."

"Is that why our people aren't out?" the director asked.

"Can't really say," Ning said. "I did only go to that one dungeon, but it is possible that they have some sort of time dilation there as well."

"So those dungeons actually are E-rank? We didn't mistake them?" the director asked.

"No, you did no mistake in the measurement," Ning said.

"I see," the director frowned.

"You're worried that it will be a D-ranked dungeon soon?" he asked.

"Yes," the director said. "All E-ranked dungeons have become a D-ranked dungeons within a few days of appearance. Within the next 2 days, these dungeons will change too."

Ning nodded. "How long for C-rank?" he asked.

"I… I can't really tell," the director said. "Not a single dungeon has been tested without sending anyone in it. Every time there is one, we always send people to investigate and complete it. So, we can't say for sure."

"What's the fastest it's ever been?" Ning asked.

The director thought for a bit and said, "A month."

Ning sighed. "So we can expect the dungeons to evolve in just a week or two," he said.

"That's…" the director couldn't wrap his head around the fact that something so terrifying was happening so quickly.

"We will have to start sending people to complete it without waiting," Ning said. "No private dungeons, so schedule. Send anyone who wants to go in. It will take them forever to come out if what I'm understanding is true, but that will slow it down by just enough so I can be of help."

"You can help?" the director looked curiously.

"Hopefully," Ning said. "We'll have to wait and see."

Ning then pulled out the book he had brought and flipped through the pages. The director glanced for a second and saw the names of countries written in a massive font at the top of the page.

"There it is," Ning said and tore off the piece of paper and handed it over to the director. "These are all the dungeons that have newly opened in South Korea. I've listed some that are close to the borders of North Korea too."

The director looked at the list with a very surprised look on his face. "These numbers, they are longitude and latitudes?" he asked.

"Yes," Ning said.

"And this last number?" the director asked.

"Height," Ning said.

"Height?"

Ning nodded. "Some of these dungeons have formed in weird locations like underground or on top of a skyscraper. Quite a few even have appeared inside lakes and rivers all around the world. I decided to add height for that reason."

"I see," the director said. He looked at the piece of paper and called his assistant in. "Scan this paper and send it to everyone available to check and set up equipment around the dungeon. Also, call every available hunter around the country to visit their local Dungeon Defense Department. We are going to have to send everyone to fight in the dungeons, so have them prepare."

Ning smiled when he saw the director's reaction to the information. He had instantly accepted it all and made his moves.

'That's how it should be,' he thought.

"Anyway, I'll be leaving now. I'll let you know if I find anything else," Ning said and teleported away from the director's office.
