132 More Points
[IDLE Points: 143,240/150,000]
As soon as the clock ticked to midnight, Aldrin's eyes were graced by the six-digit figure of his current accumulated IDLE Points.
The investment to the Hunters was truly worth it. Add to that the income he received from the creatures his Dimensional Clones killed during the day. The cost for reapplying the multiplier, a little bit of booster and renewing the Idle Storage bots were already deducted.
"Great thing I checked the current number of Blood Essences and Monster Cores before midnight or else, more than 10,000 points would be wasted." Aldrin breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the 5% Failure Chance was triggered multiple times, so was the 5% Monster Core Drop Chance.
He did pray for it not to trigger but thinking about it being 10 times the Blood Essence's rate, he's still winning against that 5% rate that the Hunters wouldn't get anything.
As there were still a few hours before the expiration, Aldrin used his time to think about how to spend it.
"I'm set on getting the 50 Hunters. Even though that will cost me around 75,000 IDLE Points, equivalent to how much Federation Credits I received from my agreement with Irina, the estimated income I will get is four times that amount… More than 400,000 IDLE Points in one day. I'm a multimillionaire by tomorrow."
Aldrin gulped down his saliva as he tried to calculate it again to make sure that he's not just drifting into his dreamland that his math became skewed from too much fantasizing.
Because of the new bonus of higher Hunting Efficiency, if he buys 50 Hunters, the normal 1 per minute hunting will be doubled.
2 per minute, 120 per hour, 2880 per day.
Even if he only accounts for the Blood Essence reward of 3 IDLE Points, 2880 times 3 is equal to 8640 IDLE Points. That's only the income per hunter.
Since he will have 50 Hunters… 8640 times 50 is 432,000!
"My math isn't wrong! But that's only the case if nothing went wrong. I bet the Failure Chance will rise again, just like what happened to the Small Merchants. Still, I still had the Monster Core drop chance to fall into… There's nothing to fear yet. I'm going to be rich… No, I'm going to invest it again for more points. As long as the situation doesn't call for my immediate power-up… I'll hoard the points."
Aldrin's heart rate suddenly sped up as his excitement boiled his blood. However, he soon shook his head and cleared his mind to keep his rational thought. As a realist, thinking too far ahead can be proven critical.
"That's right. I have to look at the present. That way, I can react accordingly if circumstances change suddenly… For now, I have to prepare my IDLE Storage to accommodate the income. Let's see…"
[Expand IDLE Points Storage: Starting from 1000 IDLE Points]
Aldrin opened the Idle Shopping Interface and tapped on the storage expansion.
All this time, he's using 1000 points per additional 5000 capacity. That's only his go-to because of his originally limited points. However, like any other shop, there's another level for it…
10,000 IDLE Points = additional 60,000 storage capacity
That's a one thousand point savings.
"I need to reach at least 500,000 storage capacity. Then…"
[You used 60,000 IDLE Points]
[Your IDLE Points Storage has been expanded to 510,000 capacity]
[IDLE Points Storage: 83,240/510,000]
"That stings a bit but it will be worth it by tomorrow… Ugh… I started looking forward to the future again… In any case, there's the option to withdraw IDLE Point earnings at any given time. I can use it if the situation calls for it."
After convincing himself, Aldrin settled down on his bed and returned to watching his Dimensional Clones. It's another way for him to calm down.
Unlike the Small Insect Colony where the ants and spiders were more active during the day, the Dimensional Creatures were more active at night in the Drawyz Domain. The green-spotted hyenas were an example of that.
And because of them, he gave his Dimensional Clones an order to thread carefully.
He's still lacking in Essence so he couldn't send additional help to them.
"They're slowly becoming even better than me… or I'm just imagining things… Anyway, even if they die unexpectedly, I can summon them again. I better sleep for now."
With that, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep while setting an alarm to renew the Small Merchants and Hunters.
He had a lot on his mind and he's painfully aware that he's slowly being influenced by the growing numbers and the prospect of more zeroes to add to it. Nonetheless, Aldrin kept his levelheadedness.
He's still a little speck even in the spectrum of the Dimensional Plane they're in. Carlos could still kill him easily.
He could be a fool for trying but at least that opened his eyes.
He had a cheat accompanying him so before it was taken from him, he'll be squeezing all of its benefits.
His current focus will be to inflate his IDLE Point income as high as possible while he's still in a relatively peaceful environment or rather, before hell breaks loose in this Drawyz Domain.
The situation outside was also not that good, considering there's the organization where Carlos belonged to and the culprits on destroying a Primary City, he'd be inevitably pulled to it sooner or later.
The stronger he became, the better his chances of survival. Not just him but also those he cared for.

"Aldrin! Let me accompany you to the Mess Hall!" With a bright smile on her face, Irina greeted and stuck to his side as soon as he left his room.
It's already morning and fortunately, the night passed without incident again.
Before assuming his post as the Leader, he thought of taking his breakfast first.
Most of the facilities were already built so the former desolate hill had already become something akin to a village.
Apart from their living quarters, there's the Mess Hall, Training Hall and any other facilities that could lift their quality of life inside the Dimension.
They were informed that on Day 6, the Instructors and the guest Energy Refiners will stop their surveillance from outside their camp and will also stay inside to establish other facilities on the built structures that won't be occupied or used by the trainees. Those will be in relation to the next part of their training.
"You're this energetic again. But wait… you seemed different." Aldrin stopped in his steps and surveyed Irina's figure.
She's beautiful, naturally. But that's not what made him say that.
Irina giggled, "Heh~ You noticed? Tell me, what's different?"
She then acted cutely as she twirled before making a pose. However, Aldrin's eye focused more on the fluctuation of Dimensional Energy around her instead of that cutesy act. It's stronger than he remembered.
While Irina was pouting because he seemed unmoved by her act, Aldrin patted the girl's head and said while sporting a truly elated smile. "Congratulations, Irina. You finally reached middle Stage 1."
He's happy for her and even slightly amazed. Compared to him that had the IDLE Database, she achieved breakthrough by only relying on her refining speed.
"Thank you! But compared to you, I'm still inferior." Irina beamed a smile eventually and didn't push for him to praise her cutesy act.
"Hey, now. Don't say that. I'm just lucky, I guess? But for you, it's hard work and talent."
Upon hearing his remark, Irina pouted once more and this time, her face also drew a frown.
She let out a subdued sigh and said, "Aldrin, that sounds insulting, you know? But looking at your expression, you don't mean ill by it… In any case, I'm the one who says something negative first anyway…"
And soon after that, her frown disappeared even before Aldrin could respond. She then tightened her embrace on his arm as she resumed her steps, this time, she's dragging Aldrin with her. "Let's go eat. I demand a more sincere congratulations from you."
Although he's confused at first, Aldrin soon understood his thoughtless blunder. That's why he didn't say anything and just let the girl pull him on her whim, 'That's right. That sounded distasteful even if it's the truth. I spoke without considering that she's unaware of the IDLE Database. I'm really a fool, huh? In her eyes, I became a late Stage 1 with pure talent and hard work. Not luck.' He bitterly smiled as he thought that. 'Once I begin using more of his IDLE Points to progress further, the gap will definitely grow even wider…'
