My Lord, Please Stop Laying Low

Zong Zhengquan binds himself to a stat-boosting System. As long as he gets close to death, he can collect soul power and add points to his attributes, ascending to the peak of life.

So... he turns around and joins the largest slaughterhouse in the city, becoming the brightest workaholic on the assembly line.

But then...

A bizarre lord-survival game descends upon Blue Star.

Every year, ten thousand people are chosen at random and forcibly sent to a perilous otherworldly continent to become lords, all while being livestreamed to the world.

Three years later, fewer than a thousand of the thirty thousand lords remain.

When the fourth round of lord selection begins, Zong Zhengquan unsurprisingly becomes one of the unlucky new recruits.

Facing the lord combat class selection screen, he scrolls straight to the bottom without hesitation and decisively chooses the healer, a class with absolutely no attack power.

Zong Zhengquan: If my HP isn't topped off, how can I feel safe?!

*

The new round of lord livestreams begins, and viewers from Blue Star flood in.

While the other new lords nervously and cautiously gather resources and build their territories,

Zong Zhengquan brandishes his healer's staff and begins... digging up the soil to kill earthworms!

Viewers: ???

What is he doing? He's hopeless. Let's check out another livestream.

*

Later, Zong Zhengquan's territory continues to grow until he finally faces his first conflict with another lord.

Viewers: Go, Brother Quan! Charge! Crush the enemy and unite the world!

But...

Zong Zhengquan takes a step back, puts his underlings in front of him for protection, and pretends he just happened to be passing by.

Viewers: ??? Ahhh! What are you doing?!

*

Later still,

Zong Zhengquan leads his underlings in a rampage across the otherworldly continent, becoming the strongest lord.

The viewers can't help but reflect: Could the way of playing it safe really be the invincible path?

The King of Playing It Safe, Zong Zhengquan: ...

No, he's just an ordinary lord!
