When the Slacker System Meets the Ultimate Grind King

Lin Chen never imagined that even a bottom-of-the-class slacker like him could be chosen by a System. But when the “Lie Flat and Become a God System” appeared and told him he could reach the pinnacle of life by slacking off, he refused to play by its rules.

The System told him to skip class, so he claimed the last row of the classroom and worked through problems until late at night. The System gave him luxury cars and mansions, so he cashed them in and invested the money in research. The System threatened to take back all his perks if he kept working so hard. Lin Chen gave a cold laugh and slapped the international competition gold medal he'd just won on the table. “Is this enough to cover it?”

After the switch, the academic slacker became a top student fought over by elite universities. Those who once mocked him couldn't even hold a candle to him now.

While his classmates competed for higher GPAs, he'd already published several SCI papers. While business tycoons competed for wealth, the technology he developed on a whim revolutionized entire industries. Even when an alien civilization challenged him, he outworked them with a set of interstellar laws until they submitted meekly.

Watching Lin Chen turn Earth into the center of the universe, the System was completely dumbfounded. Wasn't this supposed to be a carefree life? How did he become the universe's biggest overachiever?

Lin Chen glanced at the to-do item on his schedule, “Unify the interstellar currency system,” and shrugged helplessly. “Can't be helped. I just can't stop.”
