Earth Defense Plan (6)
“That’s urgent, considering the order in which you contacted me and the route you took… ahem. Well, let’s skip Japan.”

“Okay, I understand. I also have a general understanding of Korean and Japanese history. However, please refrain from revealing too much personal feelings. The president is now a public figure. Anyway, it’s really amazing that an official user of the Shingi has such a function.”

“Yeah. I was surprised too.”

“There are no restrictions, right? Is there a maximum or minimum number that can be destroyed?”

“There are no restrictions. It just takes the minimum amount of time needed to annihilate them. It depends on the total amount of energy, but it takes about 5 minutes. If the environment is similar to this next time, it will take about 3 hours on average to spit out a medium-sized monster from the portal. There is no point in annihilating the monster after it appears, so until then… Even if you are fast, considering the travel time, it will take 7 minutes. I think the limit is about 25.”

“Haha. Each country will be in chaos trying to get priority processing for those 25 portals?”

“There’s nothing I can do. I only have one body. Anyway, please discuss and decide on the allocation method among you. So that there is no noise. You know that Korea is definitely the first priority, right?”

“Yes. Don’t worry. I will definitely see it through. By the way, Chairman. Of course, China will be second, right?”

Hui Liangwei, who is still the head of the unmanned headquarters, puts China’s safety first.

“No, if you leave it like that, what’s the point of rankings? If you just look at portals from Korea, China, and the US, there are 19. Just the numbers that opened this time. Then, if 6 are assigned to Europe, that’s it? Hehe. How are you going to handle the complaints from other countries? It absolutely shouldn’t be handled like that.

Honestly, Korea can do that. That’s where the president’s family lives. But I absolutely cannot agree to doing the allocation of other countries that way.”

“Then what do you mean?”

“Like seed allocation, priority allocation is given based on existing contributions, and after that, fair allocation is done through a lottery…”

“The drawing will be hosted by the wizard headquarters, right?”

“Of course……..(omitted)…….”

“We will never…….(omission)…….”

……

……

Min-ki, who had been watching for a while, continued speaking.

“I’m going to take a look, so once you decide what to prioritize for places other than Korea, report to me with plans 1, 2, and 3. I’ll make the decision.”

“yes…….”

“yes.”

An unexpected problem arose.

There are currently not enough magicians or warriors to perfectly deal with medium-sized monsters.

Because of this, the priority allocation of about 25 enemies that Min-ki can destroy before the portal opens and spits out the monsters has become a serious problem.

At first, it was simply an internal problem within the Awakening Association.

However, as this fact gradually became known to the outside world, it became a problem for the entire world.

Naturally, advanced countries such as Europe and the United States, which were the basis of chroma, were furious that their countries should be given priority for allocation, and China did not tolerate it either.

And that’s not all.

An all-out diplomatic battle was waged to relieve the anxiety caused by the intrusion of medium-sized monsters, citing the reason that each party should receive their own priority assignment.

There was even pressure on the Korean government.

Some third world media outlets, which had little chance of being assigned, even questioned, “Why is Korea always given priority?”

Then, when Min-ki, whose feelings were hurt, expressed his discontent by saying, “Why does a wizard who can’t even protect his family have to destroy other countries’ portals out of a sense of duty?”, he was met with a barrage of criticism from the world’s media, who were concerned that he might get hurt and ruin things.

Thanks to this, only the people of the Republic of Korea were happy and joyful.

Because they are certain that they will be number one no matter what happens.

It was a moment that made me realize once again that I was the president of the World Awakening Association and the world’s greatest magician.

The media was naturally favorable to Min-ki.

Naturally, in that kind of atmosphere, public opinion, which had been somewhat ‘unpopular’ with the mansion in Geumdansan, Hanam, completely turned around.

In fact, the greenbelt was released to individuals to build mansions.

In addition, the South Korean government was severely criticized by public opinion when it was revealed that it had even granted permission for a private airport.

Even though Chairman Jeong Min-gi is a world-class figure and the world’s richest man, it is true that he went a bit too far under South Korea’s positive law.

But suddenly a portal opened and a monster appeared.

South Korea’s lack of safety awareness is famous.

But things changed when I saw the portals and monsters live on TV.

I felt uneasy, thinking, ‘What if this continues…? What if something happens to us?’

The situation in which some wealthy people are hastily emigrating to foreign countries was even reported on the 9 o’clock news.

But soon after, Min-gi announced the Mana theory and was revealed to be the world’s greatest magician, which brought about a completely new phase.

It’s not just about having a lot of money.

He is the world’s strongest man and the hero who will protect the Earth.

And the hero spends most of his time in ‘America’.

If any of my family members living in Korea immigrated to the United States, Korea would be in chaos.

The fact that Min-ki’s parents moved into a large mansion at the foot of Mt. Geumdan in Hanam, which had been empty, was also because of this atmosphere and the people around them encouraged them.

In addition, Chairman Jeong Min-gi submitted a ridiculous petition to the Blue House calling for Chairman Jeong’s family to be ‘banned from leaving the country’, which received a considerable amount of support.

Now, Min-ki’s one word has more power in South Korea than the president’s one.

“Hmm. So the conclusion is that my job is to destroy 25 pre-existing enemies and deal with 10 monsters directly?”

“Yes. No matter how much we reduce, we still need 35. Korea is unconditionally assigned the first annihilation. Whether it’s 2~3 or 4~5. And the remaining number goes to the 5 countries that cooperated in raising funds for the Awakening Association in order. Let’s assume Korea is assigned 3. The 5 countries are assigned an equal number of 3 each. Korea 3, US 1, China 1, UK 1, Germany 1, France 1. US 1, China 1 again,,, and so on.

And the remaining 17 are drawn for the entire country. However, the countries are also divided into grades according to their contribution, and are divided into ABCD. One is drawn from the highest contribution grade A (20 countries), and then one is drawn from grade B (30 countries). However, when drawing grade B, the 19 countries that did not draw from A are combined. In other words, when drawing from B, one is drawn from AB (49 countries). In this way, the drawers who did not draw from the previous grades are given another chance in the lower-ranking draws. That is because this is how countries with high contributions are compensated.”

“Is this a copy of Korea’s apartment subscription system? It’s similar to the resident priority supply system.”

“I guess it reflects the contribution….”

“Isn’t it a matter of consideration for their own turf, rather than contribution? If you do the lottery like that, what chance would there be of Africa or a developing country winning the lottery? And if I destroy the monsters myself, I already need troops to block them until I get there when the monsters pop out. How are you going to do that?”

“We plan to prioritize the deployment of elite magicians and unmanned units to defend without causing any damage until the Association Chairman arrives. Our goal is not to kill them, but rather to simply buy time.”

“Isn’t that a bit dangerous?”

“If medium-sized monsters come out from 300 places at the same time, the current power of the Earth cannot block them all without causing damage. We have no choice but to disperse our power and enter a minimal ‘hold out’ mode, and organize the remaining manpower like a special force and organize them sequentially.

Minimal damage is inevitable. In addition, the holdout mode is also missing, so there are bound to be abandoned areas. To holdout, you need at least 3 circles, and 3 wizards or unmanned people who have reached Expert. To block all areas, you need at least 900 people, and up to 1,500 people.

Even if some of the 1st to 3rd generation Awakened players have surpassed the level of the users, they are only a very small number. In the end, there will be areas that will have to be abandoned.”

“But in that situation, developing countries and underdeveloped countries will always be left out of the allocation, right?”

“Yes. To be honest, that’s true. But if you tell them to abandon their land and go to another region to hold out, who would listen to you? It’s similar to the chairman of the association giving Korea the first priority for preemptive destruction.”

“Hmm…. But this is going to be a bit of a problem. As time goes by, the countries that are left out of the allocation will become more dissatisfied. We need to improve this.”

“Yes. I understand. I’ll think about it some more. And this isn’t the only problem. All the high-level personnel who are deployed to the medium-sized monster’s endurance mode are instructors who are responsible for the training of the 4th to 7th generation Awakened. If we were to use those personnel to defend the portal, there would be a problem in the training of the Awakened. Even if we quickly deploy them to the portal and have them return right away, the longer it takes, the longer it will take to complete the training overall.”

“Hmm. This is a very difficult problem. The training of Awakened people is urgent for the future. But we don’t have the manpower to deal with the monsters that have appeared right away. Well~ Me. Do you have any alternatives? You must be saying this because you have a plan, right?”

“There is an alternative to augmenting magical artifacts.”

“An artifact?”

“Yes. We’re mass producing and distributing artifacts of 3rd circle or higher. Then, it seems like it will be possible to buy some time against medium-sized monsters even at 2nd circle or user level.”

“But how can artifacts be made so easily and in such large quantities? Wouldn’t that require a huge amount of magic stones? Does the Magic Headquarters have that many magic stones?”

“There has been some recent progress in research on energy crystals. The results show that artifacts with much higher performance can be created with a much higher probability than existing magic stones.”

“Ah~! So the energy crystal acts as a magic stone and is highly efficient. This is a good method.”

“Yes. So the Awakened Ones Association is going to start a business of turning the energy crystals of each country into artifacts. We can’t do it for free. We’ll charge a fee and turn them into defensive weapons.”

“Hmm. That’s a good idea. So the artifact will mostly be filled with magic that’s good for defense and time-wasting?”

“Yes. That’s how it will be initially. We plan to gradually add attack artifacts as well.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

“That’s… Actually, there was a time when the existing organization called Chroma produced and distributed artifacts with low performance, but it was also because they wanted to prevent artifacts from being abused, and in fact, the production technology was low. It was also not easy to obtain magic stones. Strangely, on Earth, despite the high concentration of mana, magic stones did not come out easily.”

“So, are you asking me to take charge of creating the high circle artifact using that energy crystal?”

“Rather than asking you to take full responsibility, wouldn’t it be better if you could give us some sources that could help with production? The artifact business that will be created this time will be separated from the Awakening Association and made into a subsidiary company. We plan to proceed by dividing the shares. The existing Chroma will take charge of production, Cheonjiryeon will take charge of the funds, and the Association President will take charge of the technology….”

“Haha. Are you thinking about making money in that short period of time?”

“It is true that as the number of awakened people increases and grows, our vested interests will disappear. It is clear that we must take the lead in this for the future. I ask for your understanding.”

“Well. I understand. Right now it’s a matter of human survival, but I can’t help but feel dissatisfied later. Anyway, what about the shares?”

“The president is 40%, Chroma is 40%, and Cheonjiryeon is 20%.”

“You say you don’t have the technical skills, but your stake is a bit strange?”

“I think the chairman of the association will only give hints on production at first. After all, the one who will continue to invest labor in production is our high-ranking magician of Chroma. Ahem. If you feel bad, should I adjust the stake a bit?”

“I’m 45, chroma 35, and chenjilian 20. What do you think?”

“all right.”

Min-gi began research on mass production of defensive artifacts while discussing with the magicians of the Magic Headquarters.

The goal is to develop the most efficient artifact based on the research results of previously analyzed energy crystals.

The basic magic stone that goes into the artifact came from Min-gi’s pocket.

It is the minimum amount of electricity required to operate the machine.

It’s not for nothing that they gave 45% of the shares to technical advice and such.

Liam Solveirne, the former head of Chroma, was quite politically adept.

The current situation is absolutely impossible to resolve with the existing method of producing artifacts, which involves a high-circle wizard spending 30 to 60 days to produce a single artifact.

That means it has to be made in a factory-like manner, and to do that, you need at least 10 top-grade magic stones.
