Cultivation: I Just Want to Slack Off, So How Did I Become Invincible?

[Slacker protagonist] [System] [Misunderstandings and accidental showing off] [Funny Cultivation] [Forced to be invincible] [Anti-overwork] [Epic scenes fueled by others’ imaginations] [Satisfying read]

In his previous life, Li Xianyu was a 996 office drone who worked himself to death in a cubicle. After he transmigrates to a Cultivation world consumed by cutthroat competition, he becomes a good-for-nothing outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect who hasn’t advanced in two years. He has just three days before he’s expelled from the sect. After awakening the [Great Dao Made Simple: Slacker System], he discovers that its rules defy common sense: sleeping counts as deep seclusion, daydreaming triggers enlightenment from the Heavenly Dao, and the moment he thinks about “working hard,” his cultivation immediately regresses. So at the sect’s major exam, he spreads out a sleeping mat and dozes off in front of everyone, only to break through to the third level of Qi Refining and shock the entire sect. After that, he roasts sweet potatoes and makes top-grade pills, grasps the sword intent of no moves with a yawn, admits defeat on stage only to make his opponent suffer qi deviation, and takes a nap in the back mountains only for an ancient divine beast to offer him its legacy. Every time he slacks off, the elders and disciples imagine it as the inscrutable deed of a hidden master. His passive skill, [Forced Great Master], makes every lazy thing he does earn him worshipful reverence. When cutthroat competition across the Cultivation world throws the Heavenly Dao’s energy out of balance and brings the world to the brink of collapse, every ancestral powerhouse emerges from seclusion to save the day, but one after another they fail. Everyone pins their last hope on Li Xianyu. Facing a world-ending tribulation, he pulls out a recliner and goes into a deep sleep. The System registers this as “ultimate slacking,” directly assimilates the Heavenly Dao, and fixes the world’s bugs. From then on, people in the Cultivation world no longer ask, “Have you broken through?” when they meet. Instead, they ask, “Have you gotten enough rest today?”
