None of the cultivators needed any sleep at all. So after everyone went to their rooms, Ning and the rest sat around watching TV to learn various things.
At some point Ely asked for a phone, so Ning created one that worked better than any out there. She remained on the phone for the rest of the night after that.
Early morning, as the others started walking out of their room, Ning finally decided to tell some people that he was back.
He asked his system for a skill that could emulate phone calls by sending and receiving them from anywhere in the world and used that to call the director.
"Who is this?" the director answer the call with clear hesitation in his voice.
"Oh, hey director Sung. It's me, Ning. I called to let you know that I'm back," Ning said.
"Wait, Ning? You're back?" he asked with a tone of surprise. "Can you come to meet me today? I have a few things to talk about with you."
"Sure, I will come by the office around 10 or 11," he said. "See you then."
Ning ended the call and turned to Ely. "When do we go visit your brother?" he asked.
"Uh, what time is it right now in France?" she asked.
"Uhh... like 1 or 2 in the night," he said.
"Okay, then let's go around 6 hours later then," Ning said. He turned towards Saphandra and asked, "Hey, can you take Blue and Night out into the city today to see around? I need them to get used to earth as fast as they can."
"Sure," Saphandra said. "I haven't been out in a while. Sorlus just doesn't want to go out at all."
The other family members got down and talked for a while as well. Hi-Ah had successfully become an S-ranked mage, so she had been scouted by the various different guilds.
Since she no longer had to worry about her family or even herself, she had stopped worrying about what would happen if she joined a guild, and had just joined the best one.
In the place they were at, the White Devil guild was definitely the best one.
Jung-Hee still hadn't revealed the fact that he was also improving his rank. He wanted to hide it until he had successfully become an S-ranked mage himself.
He sat around the kitchen table for breakfast with Ely by his side. His uncle, his cousins, and his grandmother also sat down. However, there was no space for the other 3 in the kitchen at all.
"Go back, you guys don't have to eat," Ning said and turned around the beasts. "Saphandra will take you to the restaurants later, you can try out different stuff there."
Night and Blue didn't mind not eating, but Sorlus was used to eating, so he still grabbed his breakfast and went to the living room to eat.
"What are you going to do today? I heard you on the phone, but shouldn't you be resting after returning from a long journey?" his Uncle asked.
"Don't worry about me Uncle. I'm not tired at all. As for today, I plan on going house hunting. While this place is good, I need to find my own place too. One that is massive enough to house everyone," he said.
"That's not a bad idea. You two need some privacy yourselves," his Uncle said. "Although, don't try to find one in the city. They will rip you off badly. Find one outside of the city. Those are the best places."
"I will consider that, uncle," he said.
There really wasn't anything he needed to consider, however. He had already found a few choices, so all he had to do was go around with Ely and choose the best one.
After finishing their breakfast, Hi-Ah and Jung-Hee had to leave for their job.
"Wait for us, we will come with you too," Ning said. He and Ely changed to casual earth clothing and got into the back seat of the car that Ning had left behind so long ago.
Hi-Ah drove the car and the 4 of them made their way to the city.
Ning's first stop was a place just outside of the city. He got off the car and turned to Hi-Ah. "Find Kim Min-Soo and tell her I'm back and I'm willing to negotiate any contract if she still wants to," he said.
Hi-Ah nodded and left.
Ning walked with Ely the rest of the way which was about 200 meters far away from the main highway.
"There, that plot of land. We can buy that," he said.
"Hmm, that's quite a lot of land for Earth," she said. "Why is that empty?"
"Same reason why any of it is empty really. The Dungeon break killed a lot of people, including the farmers who used to farm this land. Because of that, many farmlands are completely open for grabs," he said.
"I see," Ely said.
The plot of land was about 4500 meters square in area with about 45 meters in width and 100 meters in length.
"This isn't so bad, but it's not that close to any sort of road," Ely said. "There should be better ones for sure."
"The road isn't that much of a problem for us anyway, although now that I look at it, this area isn't that visually pleasing at all. Hopefully, the next one will be better," Ning said.
"Yeah, let's go check out the next one," Ely said.
The two of them teleported away from their current location, arriving at another location that was just outside of the city, separated by a large river.
The plot of land was right next to the river and was completely barren.
"Ooh, this one is much better," Ely said. "Hmm, although it looks a little small."
"Yeah, it's only 3800 meters square in area," Ning said. "It's much smaller than the earlier one. Although, it does have a good view."
"Come on," Ely said. "Let's go check the other ones."
Ning nodded and the two of them teleported again.
