After staying up late revising a proposal, 996 office drone Lin Zhou dies suddenly. He opens his eyes to find himself transmigrated into the cultivation world as a "good-for-nothing" disciple: his spiritual roots are mixed, his cultivation is at the bottom, and disciples from his sect have just surrounded him to mock him.
Just as he thinks he's about to repeat the cycle of "overtime and rat-race competition," the "Lie Flat and Dominate System" suddenly activates. As long as he keeps a laid-back attitude, his cultivation rises automatically every hour. When an enemy appears, it automatically suppresses their level. The more arrogant the opponent, the more outrageous the System's buffs!
From then on, Lin Zhou begins the most absurd comeback in the cultivation world. While others shut themselves away to cultivate, he sunbathes in the back hills and rises a full cultivation level every day. In the outer-sect tournament, his opponent fights desperately and casts spells, but Lin Zhou wins by yawning as the System suppresses them. When an inner-sect workaholic challenges him, Lin Zhou uses office-drone lingo to leave him speechless and even unlocks passive alchemy and weapon-forging skills along the way.
From the "lazy oddball" of the Qingyun Sect, to forming the "Afraid of the Rat Race Squad" for cross-region adventures, to exposing the rat-race culture as an ancient conspiracy, Lin Zhou always holds firm: cultivation isn't about killing yourself in a rat race. You can attain the Dao by lying flat!
While the entire continent is caught in a deathly rat race, Lin Zhou alone, known as the "Wuwei Immortal Venerable," says at his leisure, "Friend, want to try sunbathing to improve your cultivation?"
