Slacking Off in Three-Body, the System Forces Me to Save the World

I’m slacking off in Three-Body.

The System won’t let me.

It says its first 10,085 Hosts all died, and I’m number 10,086.

The ETO is after me, the sophons are scanning me, and a droplet nearly ran me over.

I dodged them all. I just want to slack off in peace.

Then, on the day Cheng Xin signed the Trisolaris aid agreement

The System panicked: [Host, if you keep slacking off, Earth will be gone]

I stood up. “Fine, I’ll save the world first, then come back and pick up where I left off.”
