Chapter 398: How Much Money in a Day?

Nick went to the second floor and got the Zephyx containers from there as well.

The Money Sink produced 167 grams today.

The Bleeding Lady produced around 115 grams.

After that, Nick went to the fourth floor.

When Nick pulled out the container from the Glasses' Containment Unit, white crystals slowly showered down into the second container.

The reason for that was that someone was currently working with the Glasses.

Fortunately, the Containment Units were designed to work this way, and whenever a container was pulled out, the Containment Unit would start filling another container.

The Glasses produced about 95 grams of Zephyx a day.

Since the Glasses couldn't grow more powerful, this was what they would always produce every day as long as they were worked with by a Mid John or stronger.

Next, Nick looked at the Can.

Today, it was 0 grams of Zephyx since the Can wasn't worked with every single day.

Sometimes, it went up to 60 grams, but most of the time, it was 0 or 20 grams.

Then, Nick grabbed the Zephyx produced by the Screaming Coffin.

About eight grams.

Nick remembered the time when eight grams had been a lot.

After that, Nick went to the fifth floor and got the Zephyx from there.

The Abductor delivered about 67 grams.

The Abductor could produce much more Zephyx a day, but Nick was using him to train new employees instead of trying to get the most out of him with a couple of Johns.

Dark Dream had too few Johns for the number of Adolescents they had.

The Blood Hawk produced five grams of Zephyx.

The Blood Horse produced eight grams.

After that, Nick went to the sixth floor.

The Dung Heap produced 37 grams, which was quite sad.

The Dung Heap was one of the few Specters that were limited by the food they had access to instead of Zephyx production.

If Nick had access to 100 tons of food to dump on the Dung Heap, the Dung Heap could probably even produce an entire kilogram of Zephyx a day.

However, Nick didn't have access to anything like that, and he also refused to buy edible food since that would drive up food prices in the city, which would cause trouble for the normal people.

Because of that, Nick only got 20 to 40 grams of Zephyx out of the Dung Heap per day.

Next, Nick grabbed the Zephyx from the neighboring Containment Unit.

189 grams of Zephyx from the Fog.

The Fog was producing good money, but it also demanded the constant attention of three Johns, who worked 24-hour shifts with two rest days after that.

However, the Fog always produced a lot of Zephyx.

Then, Nick went to the seventh floor and got the Zephyx from there.

With the Abductor now available, Newbies didn't get to work with the Puppy anymore, which meant that the Puppy now produced a lot more Zephyx.

Today, the Puppy produced 142 grams of Zephyx, but it also demanded three Johns dedicated to it.

Then, Nick grabbed the Zephyx produced by the Lover.

Today, it was 105 grams, but that also varied wildly.

The Lover was only worked with by Kerry, and the amount it produced depended on how many times Kerry worked with the Lover in a day.

The lowest was around 50 grams, while the highest was around 140 grams.

Then, Nick went over and grabbed the Zephyx produced by the Dreamer.

212 grams.

The Dreamer produced somewhere between 180 and 250 grams of Zephyx per day.

However, that was a bit misleading since that was only what the Containment Unit absorbed.

Since the Dreamer only gave 75% of its Zephyx to Dark Dream instead of the standard 90%, the Dreamer actually produced a lot more.

Of course, one of the reasons was that the Dreamer was Dark Dream's only Peak Adolescent, but another reason was that it just produced a lot of Zephyx.

If it gave Dark Dream 90% instead of 75%, it could even reach a production of 300 grams a day, which was crazy.

The Dreamer was the only Specter that could produce more Zephyx than the Talker.

However, one had to keep one thing in mind while comparing the production of Zephyx.

The Dreamer was being worked with 24 hours a day, and Dark Dream was working with it at full efficiency.

Meanwhile, the Talker was only worked with eight hours a day.

Theoretically, if Nick had the time or if Dark Dream had more Veterans, they could work with it three times more.

That would produce between 600 to 700 grams of Zephyx a day!

Naturally, the Dreamer, as a Peak Adolescent, couldn't produce as much Zephyx as the Talker, an Early Adult.

After putting that Zephyx container into the box as well, Nick walked to the eighth floor and added everything up.

1,387 grams of Zephyx.

That was the equivalent of 1.387 million credits.

However, that wasn't the raw profit they made.

They had to pay for deliveries, normal employees, the Extractors, the executives, the team leaders, the food waste, and the pure credits dumped into the Money Sink.

With the general costs deducted, Dark Dream was left with about 1.1 million credits.

About 10% of that would go to the city as taxes, leaving a bit less than a million.

As a collective, the Extractors would get 100,000 credits in total.

The two team leaders got about 25,000 credits each, for a total of 50,000 credits.

Nick earned around 50,000 credits due to his position, but just like the team leaders, he also got a big chunk since he was working with some Specters and got the Extractor income as well.

Julian got 200,000 credits.

The remaining 600,000 credits were left for the company to keep.

If they needed powerful equipment for Extractors, new Containment Units, and other things, they would need to use that money.

Otherwise, it was just accumulating.

Dark Dream was earning a lot now.

Every day, they had over a million credits of revenue.
