"Is this for real?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes, it is, my lord." Cynthia Carmine replied with a grin.
I was just keeping track of Hellsend's earnings for the entire night. Jo told earlier this evening that our first SOS, which was short for Songs of the Sirens, had netted us over 3,000,000 souls.
That was a huge amount, but that did not include the souls that people earned in battle. According to Cynthia, the head of the ten graves, more than half of the spoils ca from the sale of the Devil's Remains.
We got 50 of them, which when sold at 40,000 each was 2,000,000. Phillip was in charge of handling the paperwork. Originally they were going to sell for 30,000, but since the assault teams desperately needed these resources, Administration was willing to pay a premium for them.
This ant that the corpses and loot from the bodies only amounted to a little over a million. Which was not bad, but considering how many we killed, it was pathetically low.
However, this 3,000,000 would still be divided. Bella and Lilly managed to co up with a contribution-based salary. Basically, each leader would evaluate his people and give them an appropriate salary.
So out of the 3,000,000. About 1,800,000 belonged to the Sirens and . While the rest of Hellsend would divide the 1,200,000 among themselves. If such numbers were great even for us, how much more for the one who earned pennies before?
Eva Baker laughed as she comnted. "The profits have been so good that my people have decided to close all their booths in the production building. According to them, they intend to follow Limitless forever."
Originally, Eva hired the people for just three hours, and the mbers of Inari's Kitchen were so impressed that they joined on the spot as part-tirs. But when the money ca in today, they all joined for real.
It was the sa story for the forr Fortification and Academic groups led by Terence and Van. None of them could make so much from three hours of work.
Most people didn't want a lot, they just wanted to make ends et and live comfortably in peace. That was why people were probably happier during the Industrial Revolution.
Just from the first round of SOS, everyone was happy. Well, everyone except the blackmailer from last night. And probably Patrick Steorra as well.
Hellsend has been on fire for the last 24 hours. After repeating the SOS two more tis, for floors 10 and 7, the reapers got greedy.
Everyone knew there was a ti limit on wraiths. But the chance to earn souls by the boatload did not co around every day. When the ti ca for the Wraiths to go ho, most of them chose to ascend to Phantoms on the spot.
This allowed them to stay. Since we knew from the first SOS that Devil's remains were much more profitable, we abused {Reload} and Sacreds. Hellsend was able to run two more SOS operations for a total of five.
We started at about eight in the evening and finished at three in the afternoon the next day. This ant that besides the one hour break we took after the first one, we fought non-stop for 18 hours. The inco from the next SOS was also between 3.5 and 4 million.
Because of the repeated use of Sacreds, we cleared faster and earned more. Also, after the 6th floor, there were fewer enemies on the other floors.
After killing the undead on floors 6 to 10, the docunt I had in my hand said that our total inco was over 16 million souls. 320,000,000 if converted into US dollars. I couldn't even imagine how much that was.
[Exa, how much would a private jet cost? One with all the anities?]
[My Lord, you can buy an already luxurious one for $36 million. The most expensive ones would be over $100 million, but the differences are not that significant].
Holy shit, and I could buy three of them! And this was just in one night! Holy fucking shit! I was once again reminded of how insane the reaper world was.

Another good thing that ca out of our last stretch was that Exa finally ca back. She had a lot of complaints, but she was finally able to complete the [Exa Network] {Program}. This program basically allowed her to control the {Fates} of the Sirens.
It also had the added benefit of giving instant access to each of my girls. I now had a tracker that could check everything from their heartbeat to their stress level to when they last took a shit.
At first I assud the girls would see it as an invasion of privacy, but their responses caught off guard.
"My love, you don't have to hide behind Exa. I am your woman; such oversight is expected. If anything, it reassures ."
" Dear, you seem to have deep-seated desires. How can such a program co out of the blue? This is slavery! But alas, I have been your slave ever since you found out my secret. What else is new?"
"Possum, is this revenge for checking out your schlong and flogging myself? It seems like a bit over the top. Fine, I accept. You probably wank to my cute little ass all the ti anyway."
"WOW! Darling! This is like the most romantic thing ever!"
"Ignoring the nut job, Honey, I understand that Exa is extrely capable. But what if she tries to take my kids? Do your job, Mr. Code!"
"Husband, please forgive if I use Exa to spy on you instead."
"Ara ara. Shujin, I am speechless. If this is what it takes to be your bride, then so be it."
Rembering their silly replies, I couldn't help but smile. At that mont, the Sirens rushed to the Deathfall building. They wanted to add our money to the pot as soon as possible.
I told them that we should keep 75,000 souls in our soulgems for the battle. But even with that, there were still a lot of souls left over. At present, the Sirens and I took 60% of all the profits. This ant that out of the 16 million, we had 9,600,000, or 1,200,000 if divided 8 ways.
All my girls wanted to put their 1,125,000 in the pool. They were not driven by greed for returns, but by the desire to accompany in battle.
"I see you are pleased, my lord!" Cynthia chirped.
"Huh? Oh yes, I am. Aren't you?"
"My lord, less than a week ago, I was the leader of the Red Moon Guild. Back then, we struggled so hard just to earn 100,000 souls. If I told my past self that I would enter the realm of millions one day before the end of the week, I would have slapped myself."
"Yes! I completely agree! Overlord was one of the worst performing guilds! But now? Even the Ten Graves can take on the Priority 1 production guilds!" Addison added.
As the other departnt heads chid in, I was filled with pride. I didn't even want to help all these people, but sohow I did. But it didn't end there.
"My Lord, esteed Limitless, as your personal clerk, my status has been upgraded many tis. Should you survive tonight, there would truly be no stopping you," Phillip Scrivener added.
Even this monocled bastard was a Phantom now. Carrying a XM7 rifle I might add.
After witnessing the carnage and power of the 2nd Andnt, the rest of the departnt heads had already joined the Hellsend combatants.
They then delegated their roles to selected subordinates. Almost everyone I knew personally was now wielding a gun and fighting on the battle lines.
Pleased with everyone's progress, I teased him jokingly.
"You say that, you monocled bastard, but how much money have you made off so far? Shouldn't you be trying to help ?"
