'Hmmm… Welp, looks like I need to spend Cronas to earn them,' I muttered silently before moving to the next option

[Dungeon Upgrade]

[Upgrade the Grading of your Dungeon by +1

Cost: 10x A Grade Cores + 25x B Grade Cores + 100x C-Grade Cores + 1,000,000 Cronas]

'Yup, not my problem,' I moved to the next. It was too absurd to even look at

[Dungeon Enchantments]

[Capacity Increase:

Current capacity to hold workers: 5 (Grade 0)

Cost of increasing the capacity to Grade 1: 1000 Cronas]

[Efficiency Increase:

Current Efficiency: 10% (Grade 0)

Cost of increasing the efficiency by 1%: 1000 Cronas]

I looked at those options and realized that it was going to be a bit of a pain to look at everything and to understand the best way of utilizing the entire dungeon. Sighing, I looked at the next option

[Dungeon Modifications]

[Increase the radius of the city area:

Current Radius: 10 kilometers (Grade B)

Cost to upgrade the radius to 20 kilometers: 250,000 Cronas]

[Increase the number of save points and it's distance:

Current number: 2 (Grade A)(One fixed)

Cost to increase the points to 3 (Grade S): 5,000,000 Cronas]

'I feel like I am playing more of a kingdom building sort of game… welp, not that I mind it anyway,' I chuckled as I thought about it before moving to the next set of options.

[Dungeon Manager]

[Modify a particular worker*]

[Temporarily increase the speed of a particular worker*]

[Temporarily increase the Grade of a particular worker*]

[Sell a worker*]

Looking at those 'unclickable' options, I pondered that maybe it was related to me not having any worker in the dungeon right now. Perhaps once I have a worker, would these options be available again?

"To sum it up, with the help of a dungeon, I can call zombies for help. Get strong, make people under me strong, create a teleportation point of sorts. Then there is a whole another set of things I can do to earn more Cronas, huh?" I spoke as I recalled everything about the dungeon.

"That is only for this grade of dungeon. If you can somehow reach one grade up, you will surely find something much better than everything combined. That's the reason why [Dungeon] are more of a miraculous thing to have," Rhea spoke as if recalling a bit of information before she spoke again,

"Well. I guess, now that is all done. Is there anything else left that you need here?"

I looked at her and pondered about it.

"Let's see,

I need to get powerful, save my family members. I guess I will start with visiting the university where William studied since it's in the north of the city.

From that point, I need to see the whole Night Crawler thingy that Jeff and Alex had sensed there.

Other than that, I need to form a base near the Libra dungeon, though, thankfully because of the dungeon, I won't need to worry about that.

Gene upgrade will take time, and that will require me to have used Cores. Guess I need to let people get stronger. Though I would need them to work for it at least.

That way, I can make them work, make them strong, earn their trust while also getting used Cores, so many birds with one stone, huh?

Other than that, I need to find a way to venture into other worlds, too. Though that will be after I get strong enough to deal with A-Grades like I am dealing with C-Grades right now.

Hmmm… that more or less sums it up. Other than this, there are other smaller things like helping out White and Caroline's sister as well."

Rhea heard the whole thing and nodded before asking,

"So I guess now that you have the whole things more or less clear, huh? What will be the next step? Meeting your brother?"

I nodded at her before speaking,"yeah. That's the plan."

She nodded before she spoke,"good luck then."

Nodding at her, I then waved at her before moving out of the [Second Space] as I looked around.

Checking the map skill, I saw that at least 10 kilometers in distance have been unlocked around the Libra Dungeon. I could see various zombies from Lesser E-Grade to D-Grade. There were about a dozen C-Grades too, scattered around the place, which wasn't too surprising to be honest.

I also saw an option to teleport back to the center of the Libra Dungeon, though there was one more thing which wasn't mentioned before,

[Teleport back to the center of the Dungeon

Limit: Can be used only once every hour]

Well, the limit wasn't too big, so I didn't ponder much over it before using it…

-ZAP!

I heard a strange voice before the whole area changed in front of my eyes and I found myself in front of the main gate of the Libra building once again.

"Nice!" I thought as I felt a little bit dizzy. Not too much to create a problem for me, though.

I then entered the main gate, only to find Jeff and the others with some of the survivors from the side building coming here too. I saw Caroline and Myla here too, as they were talking with each other with slightly worried faces.

"Hey! What are you guys doing?" I asked as I looked at them with a bit of a curious face.

Hearing my voice, it was Alex who ran towards me at a rapid speed as he spoke out with a terror struck face,"brother… that… All the zombies… All the zombies… suddenly vanished within a few minutes… "

It was incomprehensible for him to know what was going on…

'Hmmm minutes? I think it took me about a whole day to kill all the zombies? How come it's…. Oh, wait… 24 hours divided by 100 and that… with my Stats… how much is that again?'

[Author's note: 24 hours/100 = 15 minutes]

I kind of just observed them for a few seconds before speaking in a worry filled voice,"is that… so? That's really scary… just what could have possibly happened?"

Alex nodded at me while the others gazed at me before talking among themselves again. Caroline and Myla moved towards me, with White and George following behind them.

The soldiers, Jeff and the others, were talking among themselves and didn't bother to talk with us.

"Hey! You said just 10 minutes… just where did you go?" Caroline spoke with worry in her eyes and I chuckled a little before speaking,"nothing major. Just doing a few things. How are the survivors?"

"They are fine. A few injuries and stuff, but nothing major," I nodded at her before turning to George,

"Help the survivors and take the people in. First, make sure they are fine, then make them work for us. Since the zombies are all cleared, raid all the buildings nearby and fill up our stock. Other than that, I found these on my journey in the last 10 days. Help the kids grow their power, though make sure there are no backstabbers."

I gave George about 100 Lesser E-Grade Cores and about 4 dozen E-Grade Cores, making Caroline, White, Alex and especially George look at me with wide eyes. It wasn't them, but Jeff, he, too, looked at me with his eyes widened in shock.

"White, I need you to help George here. I kinda do want to help you with your stuff, but can I be selfish and search for my brother first? It won't take much long," I spoke as I looked at him.

He first looked at me for a few moments and then sighed deeply before speaking,"I guess.. I don't have much choice here, anyway. Though can you answer a question of mine first?"
