Three weeks into the coalition work the numbers looked like this.
Active dungeons: 847.
Collectors holding: 847.
Dungeons cleared or healed this week: 203.
New dungeons generated this week: 441.
The gap still growing.
Level 71.
He had gone from 67 to 71 in three weeks — four levels from sustained dungeon work, the between-space crystallization EXP dense and consistent. The fastest progression since the early arc. The blank multiplier's x1000 compounding against the rich EXP yield of each reintegration.
Not fast enough.
He knew it wasn't fast enough.
Dael's daily pattern reports were honest about it. The gap between the clearing rate and the generation rate was narrowing — the coalition's efficiency improving as the correction workers developed the reintegration technique and the Collectors' hold capacity grew through the Integrated material — but narrowing slowly.
Three weeks of grinding and the gap was still growing.
