Shen Lang, a PowerPoint engineer at a major tech company, worked 996 and dropped dead from overwork.
When he woke up, he was bound to a [God-Tier Freebie System]. Just touching someone lets him copy their techniques, reflect all damage, and the more brazen he is, the more rewards he gets. The System is also a nonstop, sharp-tongued chatterbox that mocks him every day, but its rewards are always too good to pass up.
He thought he was on his way to the top, only to discover that...
Sealed beneath his company was Shangguan Wan'er, an ancient spirit of a magical artifact who had been sleeping for thirteen thousand years. Touch her sword, and he would have to marry her;
Lin Shiyin, an enforcer sent by the cultivation world, chased him down to arrest him, only for him to turn around and report her, driving her to draw her sword;
And his icy CEO, Su Muqing, was actually a “vessel lifeform” created by Yun Lan, a monster who had lived for ten thousand years...
Shen Lang: I just wanted to freeload off a System. How did that get me into so much trouble?
System: Host, you are fated to attract romance. The System recommends that you run for it, right now.
Shen Lang: I'm not running. The highest form of freeloading is freeloading off fate itself.
This is the story of a 996 wage slave who freeloads his way to a comeback across the Three Realms.
Freeloading is his main job, cultivation is his side gig, and he finds time for romance too.
“Fighting and killing is so vulgar. Let's hash out the logic.”
“If you're so capable, why don't you go to heaven?”
“I've been. I just came back down.”
