Slacking Off at University: I Lie Flat My Way to Becoming an Academic Big Shot!

I'm Lin Chen, a PhD in a low-value field from Southeast Asia. Everyone looks down on me, and honestly, I'm the least impressive one of all...

But on my first day at work, I activated the Slacking System!

As long as I refuse to join the rat race and leave work on time, I can grow stronger!

[Ding! Host detected refusing to work pointless overtime. Slacking Points +100!]

[Ding! Host left work on time. Reward: one top-tier paper!]

The vice dean wanted me to do odd jobs? I refused on the spot!

My colleague, a rat-race fanatic, pressured me to write a paper? I just lay flat!

Colleague A: “That's hilarious. A PhD in a low-value field thinks he can submit to a top journal? Just wait for the instant rejection!”

Colleague B: “He's lost it! That's the Journal of Chinese Management Science!”

Ten minutes later, the editor-in-chief called me: “Professor Lin! Please! Come be a guest reviewer for us!”

Me (putting the lid back on my thermos): “Maybe another time. I'm usually pretty busy, and I don't really like working overtime.”

Everyone at the institute: ???

Wait, you can publish in a top journal just by slacking? Is there any justice in this world?!
