Hey, that's the name of this game!
NGU1

NGU, on top of being the name of the game, is also a feature that is unlocked by using A Number, which is a guaranteed drop from Gordon Ramsay Bolton.

Once unlocked, this feature will remain unlocked. This feature allows you to allocate your energy and magic into 9 different energy and 7 different magic "NGU"s that persist through rebirths. The max level of NGUs is 1 billion. Assuming the bars are BB-ed (blue bar-ed; i.e. at max speed, meaning they gain 50 levels/s), it would take 231 days, 11 hours, 33 minutes, and 20 seconds to reach maximum. In this scenario, each NGU would be gaining 4,320,000 (4.32e6, or 4.32 million) levels per day.

Evil NGUs[]

In Evil difficulty, there is a choice between levelling normal NGUs or levelling evil NGUs. Energy / Magic can only be allocated to normal or evil NGUs, not both simultaneously.

Both the effects and gaining levels in evil NGUS aren't available in normal difficulty

The Quirk The Beast NGU Perk Ever grants 1 normal NGU level for every level gained in the corresponding evil NGU.

In addition to being slower, evil NGUs have smaller bonuses and harsher diminishing returns. But they are another multiplicative bonus.

Evil NGUs also have different ratios of base costs: each NGU is 10 times slower than the previous, except that NGU Augments, NGU Wandoos, and NGU Respawn have the same speed.

Evil energy NGUs:

Evil NGU Augments is 1 billion (1e9) times slower than normal NGU Augments.
