Chapter 1: Rebirth as Trash
In the chaotic streets of Dhaka, 22-year-old Abeer Khan was what people called a "total loser." No job, no girlfriend, no future—just endless scrolling through cultivation novels on his cracked phone screen while his mother nagged about rent. "If only life had a system," he muttered one rainy night, lying on his thin mattress. "I'd cheat my way to the top. No effort, just rewards for being lazy."
Fate, it seemed, had a twisted sense of humor.
A deafening horn blared. Headlights blinded him. The world spun into darkness as a speeding truck claimed his mundane life.
When consciousness returned, everything felt wrong.
The air was thick with the scent of incense and damp earth. His body ached—not from impact, but from weakness. Thin arms, frail legs, meridians that felt like clogged pipes. He opened his eyes to a thatched roof leaking raindrops onto his face.
"Where... am I?" Abeer croaked, voice hoarse and unfamiliar.
Memories flooded in—not his, but the body's previous owner. A boy named Lin Wei, 16 years old, from a remote village at the foot of the Azure Cloud Mountains. Born with crippled meridians, zero spiritual roots, branded "trash" by the entire village. His parents died in a beast attack years ago; now he scraped by doing menial chores for the local minor sect's outer disciples.
Lin Wei had just been beaten half to death by a group of outer disciples for "daring" to look at their young miss. They left him in this rundown shack to die.
Abeer—no, Lin Wei now—laughed bitterly. "Reincarnated as trash? Classic. At least give me a cheat."
[Ding!]
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[God-Tier Lazy Cultivation System binding complete!]
[Host: Lin Wei (Formerly Abeer Khan)]
[Current Status: Crippled Meridians – Mortal Trash Tier]
[System Core Function: Reward laziness and minimal effort with exponential growth.]
[Principle: The lazier you are, the stronger you become. Slack off, and the heavens will bless you!]
Lin Wei blinked. A translucent blue panel appeared in his vision, like a video game HUD.
[Host Attributes]

Agility: 2
Spiritual Qi: 0/100 (Blocked Meridians)
Luck: 10 (Reincarnation Bonus)

[Daily Lazy Mission: Sleep for 8 hours straight – Reward: 50 Laziness Points + Basic Qi Recovery Pill]
[Beginner Gift Pack: God-Tier Lazy Aura (Passive) – Reduces effort needed for cultivation by 90%. Auto-absorbs ambient Qi while idle.]
Lin Wei stared at the panel. "Wait... I get rewarded for being lazy? This is perfect!"
He lay back on the straw mat, ignoring the pain in his ribs. "System, accept mission."
[Ding! Mission accepted. Begin slacking!]
A warm sensation spread through his body. The rain outside seemed to soothe rather than annoy. His eyelids grew heavy. For the first time in either life, sleeping felt productive.
Hours passed. The system ticked silently.
[Ding! 8 hours of quality slacking complete!]
[Laziness Points +50]
[Basic Qi Recovery Pill x1 obtained]
[Meridians slightly unblocked – Spiritual Qi 5/100]
Lin Wei woke up feeling... better. Not strong, but the crushing weakness was gone. He popped the pill without hesitation. A surge of cool energy flowed into his dantian, clearing a tiny pathway in his meridians.
"Ha! Even pills for lazy people. This system is broken in the best way."
But peace didn't last.
The shack door slammed open. Three figures in blue robes stepped in—outer disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect's branch.
The leader, a burly youth named Zhao Feng, sneered. "Trash is still alive? Young Miss said to make sure he never recovers. Beat him until he begs for death!"
The other two laughed, cracking their knuckles.
Lin Wei sighed inwardly. In his old life, he'd run or beg. But now...
[System Notification: Emergency Lazy Defense Mission]
[Objective: Defend yourself with minimal effort]
[Reward: 200 Laziness Points + Random Skill Shard]
[Penalty for over-exertion: -50 Laziness Points]
"Minimal effort, huh?" Lin Wei muttered.
Zhao Feng lunged first, fist aimed at Lin Wei's face.
Instead of dodging, Lin Wei simply rolled to the side—lazily, like avoiding a mosquito. The punch hit the ground, cracking the dirt.
"What the—?" Zhao Feng growled.
Lin Wei yawned. "Too much work to fight. Can't you guys leave?"
Enraged, the three attacked together.
But something strange happened. As they swung, Lin Wei's body moved on its own—subtle shifts, minimal leans, just enough to make them miss by inches. It was like the God-Tier Lazy Aura turned combat into effortless dodging.
[Ding! Passive Skill Unlocked: Lazy Evasion (Lv.1)]
[Effect: 50% chance to auto-dodge attacks while conserving energy. Higher levels increase chance and add counter effects.]
The disciples grew frustrated, wasting energy while Lin Wei barely moved.
Finally, Zhao Feng roared, channeling Qi into a palm strike. "Die, trash!"
Lin Wei sighed. "Fine. A little effort."
He raised one finger—lazily—and poked Zhao Feng's wrist mid-strike.
A tiny pulse of Qi (from the pill) flowed out.
Crack!
Zhao Feng's arm bent backward unnaturally. He screamed, collapsing.
The other two froze.
Lin Wei stood up slowly, stretching. "Told you. Too lazy to die today."
[System Reward: Mission Complete!]
[Laziness Points +200]
[Random Skill Shard: Basic Qi Burst (can evolve to God-Tier attacks)]
The disciples scrambled out, yelling about "revenge" and "reporting to elders."
Lin Wei sat back down, grinning. "First day in this world, and I'm already OP... by doing nothing."
Outside, thunder rumbled. The cultivation world awaited—sects, beasts, immortals, treasures.
But for Lin Wei?
He lay down again. "System, next mission?"
[Ding! New Daily Mission: Nap for 4 hours under a tree – Reward: Spirit Gathering Array Fragment + 100 Laziness Points]
"Perfect," he murmured, closing his eyes. "Time to slack my way to immortality."
