From riches to rags

The finances Shane could see on the holographic screen were much more than he had initially planned to accumulate in his first month within the Primordial Dimension. He couldn't even control his eyes, as he salivated at the prospect of seeing more money.

He gulped down his saliva and looked at the screen again to ensure that he wasn't dreaming. Shane couldn't think straight and he imagined wonderful times ahead for him with some relaxed cultivation and body refining. His daydreaming was interrupted when he heard some noises.

Umbra had wreaked havoc on the table and demanded more food, even though his one-meter-long body looked like it would explode any moment.

Handing out more dishes, Shane thought he would have to purchase a large stock of food in the future if Umbra's gluttony would continue to increase.

In the worst-case scenario, he would tell Umbra to eat the beasts they hunted instead of the dishes he purchased with their hard-earned wealth.
