Five Ha: After Turning Down Bai Lu, I Slacked Off with Song Yuqi

[Slacker System + Feel-Good Variety Show + Reality TV + Sharp-Tongued Comebacks + Sweet Romance in the Background + Comeback Victory]

“Congratulations, Host, you’ve bound to the Slacker System. The more thoroughly you slack off, the more outrageous your rewards.”

Gu Bei looks at the System screen, then at the muddy obstacle course for 5Ha, and grins.

Deng Chao is leading the team in a rousing chant as they charge ahead. Gu Bei sets up a folding chair beside the finish line and sits down to brew some goji berry tea.

“Gu Bei, what are you doing?” the director yells as he rushes over.

“Taking care of my health.”

The livestream suddenly draws an audience of half a million.

System notification: Slacker points +500. Reward: Variety Show Inspiration Card ×1.

Song Yuqi stops running halfway through and walks straight over to Gu Bei. “Is there room for me?”

“Sure. Grab your own chair.”

The “slacker duo” they form becomes an overnight sensation. But Gu Bei discovers that the System’s rewards are getting more and more absurd: mind-reading, script prediction, control over trending topics...

The things he gets by slacking off are better than anything everyone else gets by working themselves to the bone.

The only problem is that Song Yuqi is getting more and more attached to him. That’s not part of the System’s mission.
