The protagonist is a champion grinder. Every day, he is either cultivating immortality or on his way to a fight. Through sheer effort, he claws his way to the pinnacle of life, just one step away from godhood.
Then, for no apparent reason, he gets struck dead.
Reborn, he is just about to keep grinding his way to the top as before when a baffling voice suddenly speaks in his ear.
"Congratulations, you have bound yourself to the Couch Potato System. The more you slack off, the more heavenly treasures you'll get!"
The protagonist: "What?"
He ignores the System. His first step after being reborn is to take brutal revenge on the enemy who crippled him in his previous life.
Just then, a lazy voice sounds beside his ear:
"Hold on."
His body freezes for a moment. In that instant, a meteor suddenly crashes down on the enemy before him, who even drops a glittering heavenly treasure automatically.
"Congratulations on successfully slacking off. You have obtained a Heaven-grade Soul-Cleansing Herb, which can be used to cleanse your meridians (Note: painless version)."
The protagonist: "??"
His second step after being reborn is to reclaim everything he lost in his previous life.
But before he can do a thing, all the weapons and spiritual treasures that were seized from him in his previous life somehow appear at his side.
"Congratulations on successfully slacking off. You have obtained a Heaven-grade spiritual treasure."
"Congratulations on successfully slacking off. You have obtained a top-grade spirit beast and its treasure trove."
"Congratulations..."
The protagonist: "???"
His third step after being reborn...
No! There is no third step! He has already got everything he could want!
With countless heavenly treasures in hand and wealth in his spirit ring that he could never have dreamed of in his previous life, the idle protagonist finds himself feeling unusually lost and empty.
Forced to find something else to focus on, he demands angrily at the voice in his mind: Who are you, anyway?!
The voice replies with an easygoing laugh: The one who helped you reach the pinnacle of life without you lifting a finger.
A beautiful, strong, tragic, and relentlessly driven Dragon-Aotian protagonist x a System gong who only wants the protagonist to have an easy, carefree life after transmigrating.
Yes, the gong is a System ^_^
