After Losing My Job, I Make 50,000 a Month by Slacking Off

At 28, with a college diploma, 127 yuan in savings, and freshly laid off.

In the depths of despair one late night, the Just-Right Living Allowance System comes online

[Score breakdown review:]

[Sleep: 100 points (Finally living like a human being)]

[Diet: 40 points (Instant noodles for all three meals, just going through the motions of feeding your body)]

[Exercise: 20 points (Getting out of bed and walking a couple of steps doesn’t count as exercise, just padding the score)]

[Time with family: 0 points (Your mother waited for your call last night, then fell asleep late into the night)]

[Hobbies: 0 points (Aside from sleeping, you have no life of your own)]

[Happiness: 65 points (A good night’s sleep has greatly improved your mood)]

[Today’s living allowance: 650 yuan!]

The System says, “The better you live, the less you’ll need me.”

Su Ming stops staying up all night grinding away, and stops trying to please everyone.

He paints, cooks, raises a cat, and waits for her each day…

It turns out an ordinary life can be just right, too.

(No extravagant-wealth fantasy, no transmigration, no rebirth, no melodramatic tropes, just living well.)
