Chapter 3 : Chapter 3
Chapter 3. A Slacker Choice Is Triggered, Rewarding a Supreme Void Scripture!
Hm?
Another slacker choice had been triggered.
Jiang Yichen lifted a brow and looked at the three options.
The first was out of the question. Who the hell got reborn only to walk the same old road again?
The second was acceptable too. He could simply disband everything and free himself of all burdens.
But those four years of effort had not been for nothing. Among those dozen-plus teams, only the number one-ranked Yanhuang Team had grown lazy and spoiled after being pampered by him for too long.
Teams like Thunder and Frost, on the other hand, were not only ranked in the top ten, but their strength was genuine.
If he disbanded them outright, it would still be a loss for him.
So the third option matched his thoughts perfectly: find someone else to manage the teams in his place.
That way, he could continue living his carefree slacker life while still enjoying the benefits those teams would bring in the future. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Jiang Yichen glanced at the reward for the choice and selected the third option without the slightest hesitation.
There was simply no comparison between low-level and Supreme-grade rewards.
“Uncle Feng.” He picked up his wineglass and swirled it lightly as he said, “How about this? The teams don’t have to be disbanded after all.”
At those words, Uncle Feng’s tense expression immediately relaxed.
The teams the young master had spent four years cultivating had achieved astonishing results. Not only had he raised the number one-ranked Yanhuang Team, he had also built three other teams that sat firmly in the top ten.
Those teams would become the young master’s final trump card in the fight for the heir position. If they were gone, it would only be a matter of time before the family cast him aside.
Thank goodness. Thank goodness. He had managed to talk him out of it.
“But I won’t be giving the Yanhuang Team any more support. Let them fend for themselves.”
“As for the other teams, I’ll find someone to help me manage and run them.”
But the very next words out of the young master’s mouth made Uncle Feng’s face stiffen.
“Young Master, that’s your finest team. You spent four years of time, effort, and countless resources building it up. Are you really going to leave it alone?”
“And what about Miss Lin Wan?”
He was deeply puzzled. Having stayed by the young master’s side all this time, he understood better than anyone how hard the young master had worked to push the Yanhuang Team to the top.
And the reason for all that effort had been to fulfill Lin Wan’s dream of entering Huaxia’s number one team.
Now he was suddenly washing his hands of it?
That truly baffled him.
As for finding someone to manage the teams in his place, he had no objection. After all, it had never really been reasonable for the young master to handle them personally.
Jiang Yichen took a sip of wine. “Don’t worry about her. Just do as I say.”
“Uh… yes, Young Master. Then… do you already have someone in mind to manage the teams?”
Jiang Yichen thought for a moment and nodded. “Yes. Don’t I have a fiancée? She seems like a pretty good choice.”
What?
Uncle Feng was dumbfounded again. “Young Master, didn’t you used to avoid Miss Su for fear that Miss Lin Wan would misunderstand?”
“That was before.” Jiang Yichen waved a hand, already sounding a little impatient. “Uncle Feng, just do as I said.”
Uncle Feng was full of confusion, but the young master was clearly growing annoyed, so he could only leave the room carrying all those questions with him.
As for Jiang Yichen, he continued drinking and enjoying his massage. The mention of his fiancée inevitably drew his mind back to his previous life.
His fiancée was the eldest daughter of the Su family, the second-ranked great family. She had awakened an SSS-rank martial talent and was the number one genius and school beauty of Huazhong.
The head of the Su family and Jiang Yichen’s father had been comrades who fought side by side through life and death during the Age of Great Cataclysm.
The relationship between the two families had originally been excellent, but cracks had begun to appear ever since he had lost his mind and fallen for Lin Wan.
In his previous life, afraid that Lin Wan would misunderstand the relationship between him and Su Linyu, he had forced Su Linyu to break off the engagement. But she had refused.
So he had started treating her coldly, even insulting and hitting her from time to time, yet she still never wavered and continued trying to please him.
Then, at the graduation ceremony, Lin Wan publicly broke up with him and made him the laughingstock of the entire school.
In order to help him save face, Su Linyu confessed to him in front of the whole school.
But at the time, he had been so bewitched by Lin Wan that he had slapped Su Linyu across the face in public.
After that, the Su family came to withdraw from the engagement.
Jiang Yichen let out a sigh. To be honest, he had really been a bastard in his previous life.
He had abandoned a fiancée with talent, background, and beauty, only to go simping after someone like Lin Wan.
Perfect.
When Su Linyu came tomorrow morning, he could use the matter of managing the teams as an opportunity to nurture their relationship a little.
Just as Jiang Yichen was thinking that, the system notification arrived.
[Ding! The host has made a slacker choice. Reward: one “Supreme Slacker Gift Pack.” Would you like to open it?]
“Open it!”
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Void Scripture (Supreme-grade), ten billion in funds, and 100,000 top-grade Qi Gathering Pills.]
Hm?
One hundred thousand top-grade Qi Gathering Pills!
Jiang Yichen’s pupils shook violently.
Qi Gathering Pills might have been a basic medicinal pill, used for rapidly gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
But a single top-grade Qi Gathering Pill was worth around ten thousand to twenty thousand. At a minimum, one hundred thousand of them were worth a full billion.
And with the additional ten billion in funds, his current personal assets were already equivalent to more than a month of profit for the Jiang Corporation.
He could not possibly spend it all.
No matter how he tried, he simply could not spend it all.
Now that he had this much money, he absolutely had to make up for the exhausting life he had lived in his previous life while helping Lin Wan achieve her dreams.
A smile curled at Jiang Yichen’s lips. Then he checked the description of the Supreme Void Scripture.
[Void Scripture (Supreme-grade): Created by the Void Emperor, it contains the profound truths of space and is a cultivation method capable of training the laws of space to their utmost limit.
Core secret arts: Great Void Art, Void Burial Scripture (forbidden art), Void Hand Seal, Eye of the Void, Void Burial Sword.]
[For a better slacker experience for the host, automatic cultivation of this technique has already been activated.]
Jiang Yichen no longer had anything to say.
The rewards from this slacker system were simply too marvelous.
Martial cultivation methods were divided into Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow grades. Anything above Heaven-grade was known as Divine-grade, and only the Martial Gods of the current age were qualified to come into contact with such things.
As for this Supreme-grade Void Scripture, there was no need to say it out loud. It was obviously something far beyond even Divine-grade techniques.
Besides, among all cultivation methods, when time was absent, space reigned supreme.
Techniques of time and space were the most exalted of all, and also the hardest to cultivate.
But what did any of that have to do with a technique that cultivated itself automatically?
Jiang Yichen could not help raising a thumbs-up to the system.
Incredible.
With the Void Scripture and the Chaos Body, after the graduation ceremony, when the graduation assessment came and the so-called useless waste in the eyes of his classmates and family shocked everyone in one brilliant move, that scene would surely be—
Stop.
Why the hell would he need to amaze anyone?
He was here to slack off. All he had to do was enjoy himself. Competition was not his style.
Showing off once in a while to add a little fun to life was fine, but working hard? Absolutely not.
“Young Master, would you like an oil back treatment?” the maid asked sweetly.
Jiang Yichen nodded, set down his wineglass, and rolled over.
As he enjoyed himself, he opened the system’s personal status panel.
[Host: Jiang Yichen
Realm: Fourth Realm, First Level
Blood Qi: 10,000 points
Spiritual Power: 2,000 hertz
Talents: Divine Sense Amplification, Chaos Body (automatic cultivation progress 0.4%, minor accomplishment at 20%)
Cultivation Method: Void Scripture (automatic cultivation progress 0%, entry level at 20%)
(Note: Current automatic cultivation speed is 1% per 5 hours. It will decrease reasonably in the future according to cultivation difficulty.)]
Oh?
Looking at that heaven-defying panel, Jiang Yichen could not help marveling.
A Fourth Realm Martial Master normally had a maximum of 5,000 Blood Qi points and 1,000 hertz of Spiritual Power. Yet he was only at the early stage and already had double that. As expected of a Supreme-grade talent.
And that cultivation speed too. Every 1% took five hours, which meant that in roughly four days, the Void Scripture would reach entry level and the Chaos Body would reach minor accomplishment.
That fast?
Even an SSS-rank genius would need one or two years to gain entry into a Heaven-grade cultivation method.
Not bad at all.
If only his realm and spiritual power could also cultivate automatically. He truly had no desire to work hard.
[The host’s slacker mindset has been detected. Automatic cultivation has now been extended to cover realm, Blood Qi, and Spiritual Power. Please uphold the path of slacking off and enjoy the beauty of life.]
Jiang Yichen smiled.
This system really understood him.
What else was there to say?
Time to slack off completely.
He closed the system panel, shut his eyes, and quietly enjoyed the comfort of the oil back treatment.
As for Lin Wan, the Yanhuang Team, and the struggle over the heir position…
Jiang Yichen’s attitude was simple.
What the hell did any of that have to do with him?
