After enduring countless hardships and narrowly escaping death time and again, Niu Ben finally ascends to the immortal realm.
He thinks he’ll be rewarded with carefree immortality, but instead he gets a ten-thousand-year labor contract and an Ascension Loan totaling 170 million!
The immortal realm’s HR representative tells him coldly, “The Heavenly Dao is a registered trademark of this group. Energy must be conserved. Face reality.”
Position: Risk Control Department, Cleaner.
KPI: Incite three world-ending fiends in the lower realm, trigger a cataclysm, and complete the “disposal of nonperforming assets.”
Staring at the Handbook for Raising World-Ending Fiends and his pitifully small startup fund, Niu Ben falls into thought.
This job... sounds a lot like the financial mergers and acquisitions he did in his previous life.
So while other immortals are comprehending the Dao, he’s angel-investing in “fiend seeds.” While other immortals are enjoying their freedom, he’s busy manipulating public opinion and monopolizing resources in the lower realm.
His supervisor roars, “I told you to collect the trash, not create three black holes capable of devouring the world!”
Niu Ben looks at his wager agreement, with the survival of the world as its underlying asset, and smiles like a capitalist.
“Don’t panic. I’ll step in personally and short this cataclysm.”
