[CH399+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 590

[Body Double POV]

I accept the pile of skill orbs from my main body and teleport back into the guildhall.

While I witnessed the memories of its new renovations, seeing it now with the old version that was partially built just a month ago fresh in my mind makes everything here all the more impressive.

There are six full-time workers buying loot from hunters who farm in the dungeons, selling potions, standard gear, and necessary monster hunting items.

There are very organized listings, lines, and the positive atmosphere is creating a thriving business. It's clear that many employees and customers have settled into quite a nice groove over the past months of this guildhall being open.

I make my way upstairs to see a workshop about four times the size of the one back in Vice City. Bri has her own sectioned-off office in the back third of the large floor, while the rest of it is full of magic items being crafted and sorted.

I walk through the rows of basic, special, and legendary grade craftsmen, and knock on the office door that has scheduled times for clients that want special blood-bonded and high percentage stat boosting items created.

Any of my doubles could do exactly the same thing as Bri, but she has far more experience in the field, knows proper pricing, and even has existing clientele that have carried over from her workshop in Vice City.

We've essentially merged our businesses, and she's been managing 25% of the gross revenue to pay her employees while using my resources to farm materials.

I'm making 75% of the profit now without being as hands-on, but granting her access to these resources and connections all over the dark continent, manpower to farm loot, and massive orders from across the major powers of two large continents.

Bri opens the office door after my knock, and all I can think at first is that a double rank-up has done wonders. She looks curvier, has healthier skin, longer hair, and somehow an even more confident stride as she greets me and gets right down to business.

"A double, huh? I delivered the second round of orders to all of the sectors and regions earlier this week with Lith. We can go over the exact numbers if that's what you came here to see. We already structured the new farming quotas with the new down payments—"

I smile and walk into her new office space, then she closes the door behind me as I respond.

"Sure, let's look over the numbers, but that isn't entirely why I came. I have a new branch of business that I want to start up."

We both sit in the middle of the office on a very comfortable couch to look at all the numbers together, and I'm pleasantly surprised.

Her new imbuement and special order crafting business has already brought in an additional 103 platinum this month in profit. While she only took clients pre-approved by my doubles and members of the Crimson Army to ensure that overpowered gear isn't being sold to our enemies, it's still a substantial amount of extra income.

There was roughly 800 platinum that came in from the payments for goods being delivered on the new order of shipments this month.

In addition to this, 660 platinum was received as the 25% down payment for next month's orders, keeping the growing trend line for order volume steady— well over two times last month's down payments. That will create over an additional 2,000 platinum in pure profit once the special orders for each region and additional guildhall profit are calculated.

The cost of basic aid, including food, water, and housing for new residents that come into the city is negligible. The total cost is a few platinum a month at most. The excess funds that have been allocated for construction this coming month are 200 platinum to expand the outer city to create room for even more outside trade. Plus, there will be a vertical expansion of towers in the city, both for businesses to rent out office space and for more wealthy citizens to start purchasing and renting luxury housing options if they wish.
