It took me early 2 hours to set up a single pseudo-natural rule-power gathering array formation, this array was a lot more complicated and harder to set up than the soul energy gathering array formations. I spent more than 6 hours within sector ES0012 setting up all three of the array formations and checking up on them twice to make sure I did not miss anything.

Now I had to wait a few hours or a day to see if they were able o manufacture as much liquid rule power as estimated by Hive AI. Because only then can these rule-power gathering arrays would be capable of bringing me the same amount of profit in a single day that the soul energy gathering arrays would bring in 24 days. If not I would rather stop investing in the rule-power-gathering array and prioritize the soul-power-gathering arrays.

Since there was still time for me to conclude the results of arrays set in this sector, I decided to head back to sector NS7878 and check how much liquid soul energy each of the arrays had collected. I have spent more than 6 hours in sector ES0012 then 6 days must have passed in sector NS7878. So I was long forward to how much liquid soul energy was collected by the three arrays.

Answering all the dialogue boxes, I was carried by an invisible force through a white tunnel before arriving next to a familiar fountain. As always sector NS7878 was empty. I directly head into the warehouse and began to determine if the three soul-energy-gathering array formations were still working without any hitch and then checked how much liquid soul energy each of them had collected within them.

All three of the pseudo-natural soul-energy-gathering array were working fine with any supervision they were in the same condition as the time I set them up. I was wise to choose pseudo-natural array formations, they were self-sufficient and did not require skilled labor to supervise them.

As for the liquid soul energy collected by each of the soul-energy-gathering array formations,

Soul Energy Nectar - 1440ml

Soul Energy Milk - 1440ml

Soul Energy Wine -1440ml

Total liquid soul energy - 4320ml

The results were within the predictions of Hive AIʼs simulations. Each array seems to have produced 10ml of liquid soul energy per hour adding up to 240ml of liquid soul energy per day, collecting a total of 1440ml of liquid soul energy within six days.

This meant that within 24 days each array would gather 5760ml of liquid soul energy. Combined they would be producing about 17,280ml of liquid soul energy. That was about 4.5 gallons of liquid soul energy per 24 hours of card world. Now that was a lot of liquid soul energy.

The rent of an acre of land was 2000 low-tier soul jades per day which were about 48,000 low-tier soul jades for 24 days. So the manufacturing cost of 4.5 gallons of liquid soul energy added up to 48,000 low-tier soul jades.

As for the market value of 4.5 gallons of liquid soul energy, 10ml of liquid soul energy was worth 100 low-tier soul jades. So 17,280ml of liquid soul jades would cost about 172,800 low-tier soul jades. Which brings my profit margin to 124,800 low-tier soul jades.

Being able to earn 124,800 low-tier soul jades in 24 hours of card world without doing any labor. This yield was just from an acre of sector NS7878 what if I were to make use of the entire 100 acres or expand the sector to use 1000 acres? I would be able to produce nearly a hundred million low-tier soul jades worth of liquid soul energy within 24 hours of card world. Now that is what I called printing money.

After doing the calculations I was pumped and even planned to start renting all the land I can in sector NS7878 and prop as many soul-energy-gathering arrays as possible. However, I did not act on that idea. Since Hive AIʼs simulation results were right about the soul-energy-gathering array then it would be right about the rule-power-gathering array too and according to its results, setting up more rule-power-gathering arrays in sector ES0012 would give me more profits.

I planned to prioritize only one of the two energy-gathering array formations because I did not plan to invest a lot of money in either of them. But seeing how promising these projects were I decided to invest the profit earned from either of them within them to further develop these projects into large-scale operations. If these two projects were promising they do not need me to invest a lot in either of them. This way I did not need to choose between two projects or invest a lot in them.

Finally, I concluded not to give up on either of the projects and instead use the profits from the projects to invest back in them until they were big enough but not big enough to saturate the card world market. Both these projects were able to make such huge profits because of the scarcity of the products produced by them in the card world.

So it was important to make sure that the production doesnʼt outgrow the demand.

Concluding the future development of both projects I then turned my attention to collecting the 1.2 gallons of liquid soul energy gathered in 6 days of sector NS7878 and moving it from the spiritual plane to the physical plane. I used the demon merchant codex to get the devil merchant code to create soul energy constructs of three 2-gallon containers for 5,000 soul jades each.

Custom soul energy constructs were not cheap that was why I had the devil merchant create 2-gallon containers keeping future use in mind. Then storing the soul energy nectar, soul energy milk, and soul energy wine in their respective containers I used the demon merchant codex to transfer them into my calamity soul gem.

Then I decided to use the devil merchant code to create a few soul energy constructs of various weapons it was expensive but I wanted to check if they could be sold in the card world after I turn them into item cards.
