  The Revenue Model The base revenue of your shop is the sum of the "base revenue" of all your talents (irrespective of whether they are dispatched to the shops or not) and the revenue from workers. The revenue from workers is often less than 1% of the total, and this small percentage keeps shrinking even more as your talents grow.

If the attack value in guild dungeon is 14.7K, that talent has a base income of 14.7/minute. Each store has a bonus percentage too. So if your base income from the stationed talents is 100, a
