After Wang Buli transmigrates to the ninth year of the Hongwu era, the System tells him that if he can safely serve as a minor official until Zhu Di ascends the throne, he'll return to the future, have his illness cured, and receive a tidy little fortune!
It's a challenge, but nothing he can't handle. Wang Buli copies the workday tricks for slacking off that netizens recommend, then helps popularize “Valley Freeloader Studies” in the Hongwu era.
Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang could see his dreams?
“Fourth Brother is going to succeed me?”
“Biao'er is going to die?”
“Xiongying is going to die too?”
“How dare Yunwen do that?”
Zhu Yuanzhang shouts, “Only one part of Wang Buli's dreams is about the future of our Great Ming. The other nine parts are all filthy nonsense! I'll kill you!”
Zhu Biao: “Father, for the sake of Great Ming, we have to keep watching this one.”
Zhu Di: “Father, dreams are the opposite of reality. You can't believe them!”
