After programmer Lin Xiaofan dies suddenly, he transmigrates to the cultivation world and becomes a good-for-nothing outer-sect disciple of the Qingyun Sect.
On his very first day, a workaholic senior brother forces him to cultivate all night, nearly causing him to suffer cultivation deviation. At death's door, he activates the Slacker System:
Meditate and cultivate? Lose cultivation.
Stay up refining pills? Get struck by lightning.
Sleep or zone out? Gain a level.
Slack off and coast? Find a divine artifact.
Lin Xiaofan gets it: in this world, the true path is to lie flat.
So while the workaholics risk their lives to break through, he sleeps for a month and just barely passes the test.
When the workaholic alliance leader challenges him in public, he goes AFK for a month and his cultivation automatically surpasses the other man's.
While everyone else risks their lives undergoing tribulation, he lies still, the System deflects the heavenly lightning, and the tribulation clouds disperse in fury.
The sect leader roars, "Scum of the sect!"
The heroine sneers, "Useless."
Three months later:
The sect leader says, "Elder Lin, could we promote your Slacking Cultivation Method throughout the sect?"
The heroine says, "...I think I've figured it out."
Lin Xiaofan yawns as he lies in the medicinal garden. "One at a time. This venerable one is only taking consultations on slacking off today."
