A month passed quickly and Henry had already gotten huge results. His points skyrocketed to almost 2500, and he also made a fortune. Over the past month, He gained over 70 million unique traffic and over 5 million of them purchased a subscription. Currently, he has generated over 90 million dollars.

He couldn't believe how much he made. Only a few months ago, he was so broke he struggled to get groceries, it's only a single AI project and he made 90 million dollars. Even in his contract with Google, he had quickly fulfilled his conditions. 

The contract stated that immediately he generated $1 million for Google, and they could not take a percentage anymore. That's why he previously stated that the contract was in his favor. He could already imagine the regrets on their faces.

How many companies even make $1 million monthly, yet he had made $90 million which meant he was doing something right. Also, AI companies make a lot of losses according to what he sees online but before taking this up, he already figured out why. 

The amounts of money poured into research and development yet they only make minor breakthroughs in the field. Even if a breakthrough was made, the resources and efforts put into it are hard to recoup. Henry however was different, He didn't need to hire people for research since all the info he needed was in his head. He only needed to apply it therefore solving the major issue of research and development costs.

Also, Henry started getting offers even from companies he never reached out to. Microsoft and IBM later responded with appropriate offers, however, it was too late. The offer was sent after his AI's popularity came to be. Although he didn't ignore them, he still felt they were insincere. As for the others, he didn't care as most of them were trying to buy him out so he ignored them.

Also, Henry noticed that he had reached a limit. All of his stats seemed to be stopping at 10 and even strength that was still at 9 was incredibly slow and he didn't feel his strength was getting better. Of course, it's hard to tell his strength, it was merely a feeling. All except Intelligence, which seemed to be growing steadily as long as he kept using system skills which left him with a bit of relief. Though he didn't know what intelligence was for, it was probably not useless.

Even with his sudden success, he didn't plan to get complacent. What he wanted wasn't limited to only making money, he wanted to expand, Keep expanding, and grow to a point where he would even call it a Monopoly.

For now, he won't get ahead of himself. Henry wanted to be steady in his doings. For now, he planned to add more features to his AI. It was already appealing as it was but if he were to add a real-time voice changer (RVC), text-to-speech, and voice cloning with editing.

These were all things he could do by himself but at the end of the day, no matter how sophisticated his knowledge of AI was, it still relied on training but he still lacked data so once more, he'd have to go browsing.

[AI-Voice(C): An advanced AI for voice cloning, fusing, real-time voice modulation, and text-to-speech. Supports hyper-realistic voice replication, seamless blending, and dynamic transformations across multiple languages. 150 points]

[Points: 2345]

Henry immediately bought it, as he began to work. He planned to make an application that would also feature his other AI features but mainly for the voice since it would be inconvenient if the webpage closed as their Voice changer was running.

As Henry cracked his fingers, and neck and stretched his back, he said "Let's get started". He immediately commanded the system to install AI-Voice to his computer and shortly after, it was completed. 

Henry carried out a few tests, he took voice samples online and imputed it into the app and it was surprisingly fast. The voice changer was also smooth and gave seamless responses. There wasn't any delay when he talked and when the voice changer activated meaning it was very good when people used it for online calls.

After he embeds AI-Voice into Phantma, he wouldn't be shocked if YouTube had many videos promoting catfishing. He would be bringing a catfishing era, most voice changers usually had weird pricing plans but were very good at siphoning money from it's userbase. Like always, he would keep the pricing cheap.

He would make the basic one about $5 and the next one $10. This was a lot better than everything on the market, not only were they more expensive, they offered less than what he was going to offer. The first tier which costs $5, had unlimited usage but could only use basic text-to-speech and real-time voice changers and voice cloning. The voice cloning would be limited to 10 voices but considering it was unlimited usage, it was still an attractive offer.

The $10 option gave them the ability to do everything in the first tier and could also use voice fusion and unlimited voice cloning. This was already giving a lot just for an extra $5 so even if someone was short on funds and could only afford the first tier, the second tier would be so attractive that they might even wait to save enough which would boost his earnings.

In his opinion, the first tier was just for people who wanted to get voice changer for extremely cheap but people who wanted to get real value would undoubtedly choose the second option.

With all this in mind, Henry began the implementation of AI-Voice into Phantma.
