My Spirit Beast Shop Only Takes in Failed Pets

Chen Mu took over the spirit beast shop his master left behind. It was three months behind on rent, and all he had left were three unwanted, useless pets: a lame wolf, a goat with a broken horn, and a mute sparrow. He can see spirit beasts’ hidden talents, moods, and evolution paths. What others consider trash, he treasures: the lame wolf has a nine-star lightning affinity, the broken-horned goat can purify water, and the mute sparrow silences the whole crowd when it speaks. Starting with a shabby shop on West Street, he makes his way through appraisal, boarding, and breeding services, enters spirit beast competitions, and takes on jobs from the city lord’s residence. He withstands competitors cutting prices, his landlord trying to take back the shop, and wealthy families monopolizing the industry. As his shop grows bigger, he takes in more and more unwanted pets, eventually turning his little store into the greatest spirit beast breeding center in the world.
