On the first day after transmigrating to a beast-taming world, Jiang Ci awakened the Labor Contract System.
He had his spirit pets sign contracts, set KPIs, and put them on shift schedules.
While beast tamers in this world talked about squeezing their spirit pets for all they were worth, he treated them like employees and played the boss.
Everyone thought he was crazy. He'd even signed a formal employment contract with a good-for-nothing coalball sprite.
Then that coalball sprite evolved for the first time.
Then, in less than a year, it advanced to Spirit-tier Lord.
The power of contracts. The power of performance reviews. The power of double pay for overtime.
His competitors gnashed their teeth. "This is exploitation! You're squeezing them dry! You're a capitalist!"
The Charcoal Ball silently held up its employee badge. "Boss lets us work nine to six, five days a week. Work injuries are covered, and he never makes empty promises."
In a world that treated spirit pets as tools, Jiang Ci became the only boss who treated them like people.
And his employee roster was growing exponentially.
