In the age of spirit-beast taming, everyone else awakens a spirit beast, spirit weapon, or spirit plant.
On the day Chen Yan awakened, a little black cloud hatched from his spirit egg.
It wasn't cute, wouldn't listen, and even struck the school's testing device with lightning right there on the spot.
The testing device cost 38,000.
Chen Yan had planned to hand it over, but when he asked around, he learned the basic reward for a disaster spirit was only 3,000.
He had no choice but to take the money-losing cloud home for now.
Then an old substation had an accident, and the little black cloud gulped down all the disaster energy. Chen Yan received his first disaster-control subsidy.
Two hundred and forty.
It wasn't much.
At least he made some of his money back.
From then on, while everyone else avoided disasters, he chased after them. While everyone else used spirit beasts to fight monsters, he took jobs with his little black cloud to pay off his debts.
“Don't stop me.”
“This one's urgent.”
“Sign the contract first, then we get to work.”
