Retirement begins with summoning Yuan Tiangang

A few days later

Ever since he started cultivating the "Hundred Refinements Star Body", Lin Tian felt like he was living in hell every day.

That feeling was truly unbearable.

Every day after putting Lin Feng to sleep, he would have to stand in the courtyard, grimacing and gesturing, painstakingly guiding those damned evil energies.

After each tempering, he fell into deep thought, thinking, "Why not just lie down and relax?"

He belongs to the type who cultivates solely through his physical body without relying on any cultivation level.

In contrast, the system interface in his mind, with its numbers representing the points where he could lie down, continued to tick steadily and faithfully even in his "semi-paralyzed" state.

[Lie flat +1...]

[Lie flat +1...]

[Host detected to be in a passively relaxed state, environment safe, lying-down point acquisition efficiency remains stable...]

Looking at the ever-increasing numbers, and recalling the days similar to the 996 work schedule, Lin Tian felt incredibly resentful.

"Damn it, I've been working myself to the bone, cultivating like a dead dog, and I haven't even gotten a few more points for lying down. But when I just collapse there and do nothing, the points keep increasing... Does this system have some kind of misunderstanding about 'effort'?"

He slumped in his chair, too lazy to even move a finger, and complained to the air.

"Is the true meaning of this system to make me a complete slave? But even if I'm not a slave, I can't survive in this godforsaken place without some means of self-defense..."

Lin Tian fell into deep philosophical thought, about effort versus complacency, about struggle versus idleness.

Just as he was staring at the words "Hundred Refinements of the Star Body (Beginner's Guide)" on the system panel, wondering when this hardship would end, he suddenly noticed that, at some point, a tiny "+" sign with a faint golden glow had appeared after the name of the cultivation technique.

"Hmm? What is this? Was it here before?" Lin Tian's curiosity was piqued, and he focused his mind on the "+" sign.

A line of small text appeared:

[Consuming 100 Lying Down Points will upgrade "Hundred Refinements Star Body" (Beginner Level) to the Beginner Realm. Upgrade?]

Lin Tian: "!!!" He suddenly sat up straight in his chair, almost waking Lin Feng in his arms.

"Add...add points? The system can directly add points?!"

His eyes widened in disbelief, and his heart began to pound wildly.

This feature... is simply a godsend for all those suffering from laziness and a fear of being diligent!

Diligent practice? Sweating profusely? Enduring agonizing pain?

nonexistent!

As long as you lie flat enough and have enough points, you can upgrade with one click!

"This is the kind of treatment a time traveler should get!"

Lin Tian was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

His previous frustration from not being able to quickly cultivate the basic chapter of "Tian Gang Jue" and the mental anguish from cultivating "Bai Lian Xing Chen Ti" vanished at this moment!

Effort? What's the point of effort!

Compared to cheating, hard work is nothing!

He glanced at his current lying-down points. Although he hadn't actively "lyed down" much in the past few days, the basic accumulation plus the remaining points from before had just exceeded 100 points.

"Upgrade! Immediately! Right now!" Lin Tian practically roared.

[Consuming 100 Lie Down Points, the "Hundred Refinements Star Body" (Beginner Level) has been upgraded to the Beginner Level.]

The moment the system notification sound ended, an energy that was far more powerful and pure than when he cultivated himself, but was also countless times gentler, surged into his limbs and bones out of thin air!

This time, there was no excruciating pain.

He felt as if his muscles, bones, skin, and even his internal organs were greedily absorbing this energy, like parched land receiving sweet rain.

A tingling, warm sensation spread throughout my body, and the fatigue and soreness accumulated from previous practice quickly subsided, replaced by an indescribable sense of fulfillment and strength.

He could clearly feel that his skin seemed to have become tougher, his muscle lines more defined, and he was full of explosive power.

A faint humming sound emanated from the bones, making them feel even denser.

My internal organs seemed to have been cleansed and were full of vitality.

Qi and blood surge within the body like a revitalized stream; though far less powerful than the true strength of a celestial being, it is brimming with vitality.

He subconsciously clenched his fist, his knuckles making a crisp sound, and a sense of power at least two or three times stronger than before, purely from physical ability, welled up within him!

He felt like he could punch a hole in that thick solid wood table!

"Awesome! This is the right way to cultivate!"

Lin Tian excitedly clenched his fist, feeling completely refreshed.

Although his cultivation level remained unchanged, the strength of his physical body had definitely undergone a qualitative change!

He looked down at his arm, which seemed unchanged but was different inside. He then looked at the system panel, where only a few points remained, and the grayed-out "+" sign after "Hundred Refinement Star Body," which was temporarily unclickable. It seemed that he didn't have enough points to continue upgrading his proficiency.

An unprecedented realization welled up in my mind.

"Effort? Cultivation? Those are all heretical paths!"

"Lie down! Salted fish! That's the way to go!"

"With the system as my daddy, what more could I ask for? What more could I possibly strive for? I can just relax, take care of the kids, stroll around the streets, earn enough points, and then... upgrade with one click! Isn't that great?" Lin Tian had a complete epiphany.

His previous idea of ​​practicing the "Tian Gang Jue" and enduring hardship to learn the "Hundred Refinements of the Star Body" was simply putting the cart before the horse and was extremely foolish!

From this day forward, Lin Tian will become a professional "salted fish" (a person who spends money on casual sex) with ideals, morality, culture, and discipline! Earning "lying flat" points will be his ultimate guiding principle!
