Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 38: New Island

<The nearest island is 8.3 kilometers away from here>

'Teleport' Ning said.

<It will cost you 22,000 Energy. Are you sure?>

'So cheap? Yes of course. Do it.'

<Confirmed>

One second Ning was looking at Hyesi and his curious look, and the other minute, he was on a beach, looking straight at the blue ocean.

'So, this is the other island huh.' He looked at the opposite side and saw the island with the vegetation from what he had previously expected. 'It looks exactly like what I imagined it would.'

'Oh yeah, system. That teleport was quite cheap. Can you tell me why?' he asked.

<Teleport costs you based on the distance of travel and weight of the object you inhabit>

<Total energy cost for teleport is Total distance in kilometers times 2000 plus Total weight in kilograms times 15000>

'That's … no wonder it's so cheap now. By the way, what is the cost for permanent teleportation?' he asked.

<Permanent Unlock of Teleportation costs 10,000,000,000 Energy>

<Permanent Unlock of Teleportation will only cost energy for distance traveled and can be used with objects of any weight>

<However, Permanent Teleportation will not allow you to leave off of a planet unless you have 10% of that planet's energy>

'Yikes, that will probably take quite long,' he thought. 'Oh, yeah, you said this place is about 8 kilometers away from the other island right? Hmm…' he tried to think of something but couldn't.

'Does the map not gain distance, system?' he asked.

<Maps start getting distance with Beginner's Map>

'Oh, I should buy it too I guess. Alright, buy the beginner's map of planet Kumia then.'

<It will cost you 1,500,000 energy. Are you sure?>

'Huh, for some reason I had remembered it being more expensive. Is my sense of what's a lot and what's little changed so much?' he wondered. 'Yes buy it.'

<Confirmed>

Suddenly, a hoard of information appeared in his brain.

'Oh… OH….OHHHH,' he screamed in his mind as he saw the numbers on the map now. The map in his mind was a bit clearer and bigger. Now he could easily see the individual islands strewn about in the giant ocean.

He looked at the circular shape of the Northern continent, covering the majority of the northern hemisphere. He then looked at the many islands and started calculating their distances.

It took him but a moment to realize that deducing his location through this map was impossible. There were hundreds if not thousands of such islands, so he would have to use another information to find his current location.

'Holy Sh*t. This world is so big. No wonder it can host so many humans. System, what is this size compared to earth?' he asked.

<Planet Kumia has 23 times the surface area of Earth and can thus hold many humans>

'I see. It will take me quite a while to get around this land then,' he thought.

Suddenly, something came to the beach. A bear-like a creature, looking for food left by the ocean. It sniffed everywhere along the beach and eventually got close to the stone.

'Alright, let's go see how this island really is on the inside.' Without any hesitation, he used the parasite on the bear and started riding it wherever it decided to go.

'System, can you mark the last location I was in the other island as some sort of checkpoint?' he asked.

<Done>

'Oh. I thought it would've cost me energy. Think not.'

The bear found some dead fish that had been washed up and ate it. Afterward, it went back to the jungle. Ning looked at all the different plants and wildlife inside the jungle and felt a little nostalgic as it reminded him of the animals back in the zoo.

The inside of the zoo was usually made to resemble the habitat of the animal that was kept inside, so most of the animal cages had trees in them.

'It would be quite hard to do anything if there were Tigers or lions in here. What if they are strong like those in the Southern Continent?' he wondered.

Thankfully, there weren't many animals that seemed to be predatory in nature, so he should be fine for now. When Ning reached, what he thought should be the middle of the island, he used parasite on a large tree and started using it as his host.

The tree was tall, much taller than the other trees, so he could see out into the ocean far away. He even managed to see a vague image of what looked like the island Hyesi and his people lived in.

He then looked at the opposite side and saw nothing but trees, large dense trees that left no sunlight inside. 'No wonder they didn't want to stay here. It would be a horrible place for them,' he thought.

'Hmm… now that I'm here, what should I do for them? Should I go find some trees with food, or should I kill some animals? How do I even do those things, to begin with?' he wondered.

'Hmm… should I learn some skills like telekinesis? System, what's the cost for Telekinesis?' he asked.

<Telekinesis skill costs 240,000,000 Energy>

'I guess I'm not learning that anytime soon then. Hmm… should I just continue with my plan to get a human body then? That should be faster,' he thought. Then, he looked around the jungle, with its thousands of trees, thousands of animals, and god knows how many insects are in there.

'Yeah, no. The body is a no-go for a while. how would I even keep my body safe after making it? Hm… I think I should go for Telekinesis for now. That or find some sort of animal with good dexterity and control its body. That could work too.'

'Ahhh, I feel too mentally fatigued right now. I will just go to sleep and think about it later. System, wake me up when I can start absorbing energy again,' he ordered.

<Confirmed>

Slowly, he lost consciousness and fell asleep.
