Chapter 2 : Chapter 2
Chapter 2. He Made the Slacker Choice and Was Rewarded with a Supreme Chaos Body!
Just as he was giving the butler his instructions, the system’s wonderful voice rang out.
He had already obtained the Supreme Gift Pack?
Just like that?
It was that easy!
Jiang Yichen could not help feeling delighted.
“Ah!? Young Master, what exactly happened?!”
On the other end of the phone, the tone suddenly became urgent, as if he found Jiang Yichen’s words utterly unbelievable.
“Uncle Feng, you don’t need to worry about that. Just do as I said.”
After giving his orders, Jiang Yichen hung up and turned his gaze toward the “Supreme Gift Pack” in the system space.
“System, what can this gift pack give me?”
【Supreme Gift Pack: Guaranteed to contain a Supreme-grade talent, cultivation technique, Spirit Artifact, or the like. Additional rewards may include money, pills, low-tier artifacts, and so on.】
【The system will grant gift packs of different grades based on the degree of the host’s slacker choice. Supreme-grade is the highest.】
Oh?
It started him off with the highest grade? What a great system.
A smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Yichen’s mouth. “Open the gift pack.”
【Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Chaos Body (Supreme-grade), ten billion in funds, 100 top-grade Blood Qi Pills, and 100 fourth-tier artifacts.】
What?
That much?
Jiang Yichen was stunned.
Never mind the guaranteed Supreme-grade reward for the moment.
Ten billion was nothing to the Jiang family, but to some smaller families, it was more money than they could earn in an entire lifetime.
Although Blood Qi Pills were among the most basic medicinal pills for martial artists, there were only a handful of alchemists capable of refining top-grade ones.
Fourth-tier artifacts were comparatively ordinary. In this world, weapons were divided into nine tiers, and anything above the ninth tier was called a Spirit Artifact.
Even so, a hundred of them were still worth tens of millions.
Damn!
Even the random rewards from a Supreme Gift Pack were this insane?
Jiang Yichen slowly shifted his gaze to the words “Chaos Body” and opened the description.
【Chaos Body (Supreme-grade): The greatest physique in all eternity, born innately from chaos. Once cultivated to perfection, it becomes immune to all techniques, and any attack that comes close is reduced to nothingness.】
【Note: In order to better help the host slack off and enjoy the beauty of life, this physique will automatically cultivate and improve itself. The host does not need to work hard.】
Jiang Yichen’s expression froze for a moment.
The Chaos Body already sounded absurdly powerful, but the fact that it cultivated on its own was even more ridiculous.
As expected of a slacker system.
It even came with idle cultivation.
Good.
Very good!
Still… what level exactly was Supreme-grade?
In this world where martial arts flourished, awakened physiques and abilities were all collectively known as martial talents, and the highest rank ordinarily went only up to SSS.
【Please rest assured, Host. Supreme-grade is an existence far beyond SSS-grade. You only need to slack off properly.】
【Would the host like to fuse with the Chaos Body?】
“Uh…”
For a moment, Jiang Yichen did not even know how to respond. His mind was filled with only two words:
Holy shit.
In his previous life, he had awakened a martial talent as well—A-rank Divine Sense Amplification.
If he had focused on cultivation, he could have completely become one of the rare Spirit Mind Masters in the future.
But because he had devoted himself to fulfilling Lin Wan’s dream, he had almost never had time to cultivate.
His classmates and the other graduating students were either at the late Third Realm or, if they were a bit more talented, already in the Fourth Realm.
Meanwhile, he was still stuck in the Second Realm and had not even met Huazhong University’s graduation requirements.
He had been the textbook example of a useless young master in everyone’s eyes.
Even after finally waking up and working hard later on, he had only managed to reach the level of a Fifth Realm Grandmaster.
But now, with a Chaos Body that surpassed SSS-grade, reaching the peak of the martial path and becoming a Martial God was entirely possible.
After all, anyone who awakened an SSS-grade martial talent was already hailed as a peerless genius, a future Martial God in the making.
And he had just gotten something that crushed even that?
“Fuse.”
His voice carried a trace of excitement as he sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room.
In an instant, the spiritual energy in his body suddenly became violent, crashing wildly through his meridians.
At the same time, dark purple wisps of chaotic energy appeared out of thin air around him, coiling around Jiang Yichen like living creatures.
The moment the spiritual energy in his meridians came into contact with the chaotic energy, it exploded like colliding stars.
His meridians were torn apart in an instant, and his bones let out a series of cracking sounds like shattered glass.
Yet in less than a moment, his meridians were reforged by the power of chaos. Every inch of his flesh and every bone in his body were made anew, as if they had been tempered hundreds of millions of times.
A golden mark emerged between Jiang Yichen’s brows, while the chaotic energy circled within his dantian, transforming into a vortex wrapped in dark violet streams of light.
His martial realm also soared at astonishing speed, jumping in one breath from a Second Realm Martial Artist straight into a Fourth Realm Martial Master.
Jiang Yichen slowly opened his eyes, faint starlight flickering within his pupils.
Feeling the power surging through his body, he realized that not a trace of the exhaustion remained from all those late nights he had endured while managing the teams.
“Simply fusing with it pushed me all the way into the Fourth Realm Martial Master. In my previous life, that took me a full seven years!”
“If this Chaos Body reaches full completion, won’t it become an existence that can crush everything in its path?”
Jiang Yichen nodded in satisfaction, then thought back to his previous life.
At the graduation ceremony, when Lin Wan broke up with him, he had begged bitterly, disappointing his family and parents beyond measure. In the end, they had decided to reopen the selection for the family heir.
But at the time, his strength had been lacking, and several of his cousins had schemed against him so thoroughly that he had been played from start to finish.
Now, with the Chaos Body and the advantage of rebirth letting him foresee things ahead of time, if he worked a little harder, then the position of heir…
Hm?
Wait.
Jiang Yichen suddenly snapped out of it.
No, that was wrong.
He was supposed to slack off.
Why was he even thinking about that?
Jiang Yichen laughed helplessly.
As long as he kept slacking off, the system could give him money, cultivation resources, and talents.
So why the hell would he bother fighting for that position? When the time came, his fists would be reason enough.
Continue slacking off.
Jiang Yichen rose to his feet and looked at the sofa, which was covered in the black sludge his body had expelled. Some of it still clung to his skin, leaving him deeply uncomfortable.
He called over a maid to clean it up while he himself walked into the villa’s bathroom.
As he sank into the bathtub and gave himself a simple wash, he felt his entire body relax, but somehow it still felt like something was missing.
A life of slacking off should not look like this.
Wearing a bathrobe, he walked back out and snapped his fingers. A sweet-looking maid in a maid outfit stepped forward.
“What are your orders, Young Master?”
“Do you know how to give a massage?”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Jiang Yichen lay down on the bed and pointed at his feet. The maid immediately understood and crouched down, massaging them with utmost seriousness.
“Young Master, is this pressure all right?”
“A little harder. Yes, yes, yes—that’s the spot!”
Hiss!
That felt incredible!
Jiang Yichen closed his eyes in enjoyment.
For the other heirs of great families, a life of indulgence, drinking, and foot massages might have been perfectly normal.
But to Jiang Yichen, it was sheer luxury.
In his previous life, all for the sake of helping Lin Wan fulfill her dream, he had spent every day handling team affairs until midnight.
When he came back, he either took a quick shower or did not wash at all and simply collapsed into bed from exhaustion.
For four whole years, he had never enjoyed service like this even once.
Now Jiang Yichen leisurely had someone bring him red wine. As he drank and enjoyed the massage, he finally felt that this was the life a second-generation heir of a great family ought to have.
Working hard certainly had its merits.
But slacking off really was amazing.
Knock, knock, knock!
Suddenly, a hurried knock came from the door, and Jiang Yichen froze.
“Come in.”
A butler with slightly graying hair but bright, sharp eyes pushed the door open.
But the moment he saw the young master drinking red wine while enjoying a massage, he could not help standing there in a daze.
The young master had never had this sort of hobby before.
“Uncle Feng, have you handled what I asked you to do?” Jiang Yichen took a slow sip of red wine.
Uncle Feng finally came back to himself, his voice filled with astonishment. “Young Master, do you really intend to disband the teams and take back everything you gave Lin Wan?”
He knew very well that the young master had loved Lin Wan like his very life. In order to fulfill her dream, he had personally managed more than a dozen teams and worked himself into the hospital.
He had even forced Madam to withdraw money from the Jiang Corporation by threatening his own life, causing financial trouble within the company and losses of over ten billion.
To suppress the matter, the Master had no choice but to agree to let the family’s upper ranks reopen the selection for the heir.
How could a young master who had gone that far for Lin Wan suddenly decide to take everything back from her?
“Uncle Feng, don’t worry. Just do it.” Jiang Yichen understood the butler’s confusion.
A puzzled expression appeared on Uncle Feng’s face.
Something was off.
Very off.
No, more than that—completely off.
Could it be that the two of them had quarreled?
But even when the young master and Lin Wan had argued before, he had never acted like this.
After thinking for a moment, Uncle Feng advised him, “Young Master, taking back everything you gave Lin Wan is fine, but you absolutely must think carefully about disbanding the teams.”
“The family has already decided to reselect the heir. Your cousin Jiang Feng has also secretly formed a team in order to compete for the position.”
“If you disband your teams now, it will be very disadvantageous for you!”
Jiang Yichen let out a sigh and slowly set down his wine glass.
In his previous life, that cousin of his, Jiang Feng, really had been like that. Not only had he awakened an SS-rank martial talent, but he had also performed outstandingly in school.
Later, the team he built went on to win the Huaxia Team League Championship, earning him deep favor from the family elders.
Disbanding the teams at a time like this really would be…
【Ding! Slacker Choice triggered.】
【Choice One: Just like in your previous life, exhaust yourself managing the teams and throw yourself into the struggle over the heir position, only to be eliminated in the end. Reward: the title “Top-Grade Trash.”】
【Choice Two: In your previous life, the development of the teams wore down both your body and mind. Now that you have been reborn, you do not want to suffer that pain again. You slack off and quit, disbanding the teams. Reward: “Low-Level Slacker Gift Pack.”】
【Choice Three: Although you wore yourself out for the teams in your previous life, aside from the problem of internal corruption, their strength and ranking are still among the best. So find someone else to manage the teams in your place while you focus on enjoying yourself. Reward: “Supreme Slacker Gift Pack.”】
