Transmigrated into the cultivation world as the head of a collateral branch of a clan, Lin Juan sees only three paths ahead: work himself to death, starve his clan members, or get "optimized" out of a job by a great clan.
Lin Juan chooses the third path: lie flat.
He activates the Slacking for Spirit Power System: the more his clan members slack off, the stronger he gets. When they daydream, his cultivation skyrockets. When they goof off, magical treasures appear out of nowhere.
To keep this bunch of good-for-nothings from actually starving to death, Lin Juan has no choice but to make them "slack off in moderation" while taking up a hoe and boosting GDP.
The Zhao family is picking on us? "Care to explain the ledger for your manor's illegal spirit-mine operations?"
The elders' council is putting on the pressure? "Third great-uncle, do you still deny that you used public funds to buy beauty pills?"
Then one day, the sacred sects hold their recruitment drive and demand that everyone compete ruthlessly. Lin Juan promptly pulls out a white paper on sustainable development in the cultivation world and points at the performance rankings, cursing:
"What kind of lousy KPIs are these? Is spiritual energy supposed to be some kind of blessing you owe them?!"
Only then does the entire cultivation world realize that the clan head who dreams of lying flat has quietly built a world of his own: a realm of slacking off.
