She appeared as if from nowhere, a dark shadowed figure full of dread magic. Shining Armor and Cadance scowled with apprehension, but her attention was on the _other_ shadowy overlord that stood before her. Only one could remain.

dun dun dun.
That said, this feels like extreme nepotism lmao. They gave her a super easy job so they could make their future consort rich. Oh Cades, never change.

Too bad Umbra didn't get it in writing. That's what you call a language loophole. A royal bit still fits the idea of a bit if it's not specified, but if she had it in writing that she'd be getting 100 bits per house, Cadance couldn't go and foist that way too generous switcharoo on her. I foresee...a talk. A talk that will likely be preceded by Umbra barging into wherever Cadance is shouting 'what am I supposed to do with a million bits and still more to come?!' or something to that effect.
Dry Fear the Umbrum. Now the question is...scout? Vanguard? Messenger? Rogue element? ...High ranker?
This is a hilarious typo in context.
i was wondering about the bit thing, because that seemed like a really low amount, if a bit was a dollar that'd be like getting paid 0.1% of the final price of a product you were solely responsible for manufacturing that someone else would get to sell at full.

I mean did you read through it? Turns out it was 100 000 bits. And she can make like 10 whole houses in a day. She's quickly going to hold a large portion of the Crystal Kingdoms GDP in her hands

Dang typos, sneaking in. Worse than shadow critters, I tell you!
"Bank error in your favor! Collect
$200100,000 bits!"So... did you do that bit thing on purpose? Because that's really suspicious.
At the rate Umbra is going, she'll be a very rich pony.
Typo:
goggled -> googles

I think the ponies don't have industrialised megafarms. They seem to mostly have small and medium scale farms that depend on multi-skilled labour. About at the level of "mechanically (or magically) assisted labour" but not "completely mechanised farming".
Its the difference between applejack using her personal magical powers to make harvesting more effective than fully manual labour, and using the super speedy cider squeezy 2000 to completely take labour out of the equation.
That's not to say its a bad thing; small and medium scale has its advantages, but it does mean that produce might also generally cost more.
Honestly I ship Umbra with Shifting more than with Shining and Cadence lol. They too cute together!

While yes, fruit and other stuff is probably worth a lot more, so would houses in that instance. You don't go trading a fruit basket for a house, now do you?

Nope, it was an accident, but I don't retcon, so we're stuck with potentially wealthy Umbra. I mean, unless something happens. What are the odds of that?
11079339
Yes... what are the odds of that? My friend and I have been discussing this story a lot recently and he kinda has the feeling this story is going to end up with a bad ending. You wouldn't do that to us, right?
Hmmm? This is a new term to me. Does Canterlot also use this royal bit system?

I always imagined there had to be different denominations of bit, or it just doesn't work.
Beeg mistake.
Hey! I saw that economic reshuffle... well played. Now open a soup kitchen for the starving hug-bugs.
You have rolled the dice of spell 10+4 DC18
Your finger slips and the cosmos becomes less stable!

And yet…not? Three tomatoes is two bits, if I’m remembering the Iron Will episode right, so a bit is worth a little more than an American dollar. Considering she’s constructing houses out of what could comparably be stone, even if she’s getting $200,000 per house ($2~1 bit?) built it makes sense. She’s building for size and quality too, since happiness is a measurable factor in the empire, and practically a matter of national security. The main issue is that she has no cost for materials, since she’s basically generating them herself, although maybe that’s factored in?
Fun time is over... Things become difficult once more
Thorax, is that you?
Being rich comes with a lot of benefits, she could buy massiv supplies from Equestria for example.
Any sweet tooth or other vises fullfilled.
Maybe ask Rarity to make her a few dresses, Applejack could provide a lot of Apple products, Pinkie Pie could be hired for a lot of moral raising partys.
Fluttershy hired to help pets for the Crystal Empire to brighten their days.
Rainbowdash for airshows or Twilight could be hired fir dedicated research unless she know some like for example Moondancer to help with Umbras shadow magic lessons.
