The idea of lying flat wasn't limited to a small number of unambitious humans. Monsters had this tendency too.
When lying flat could satisfy their relatively few and not particularly strong desires, a small number of monsters would choose to lie flat.
Humans were no match for them. Given their control over their own bodily cells, most people couldn't last three minutes before vomiting.
Even if they were interested all night..., it was still difficult to keep playing a game where one touch made you vomit.
The monsters working in this industry were also becoming more and more adept. Some had already mastered ways to raise their own value, controlling the number of times each guest vomited during the night to attract more attention.
From their perspective, this was lying flat. Pleasing weak humans in exchange for everything they needed was the ultimate form of lying flat.
But for the monsters themselves, it was actually quite competitive, so it couldn't be considered lying flat in the strict sense.
Aside from these, monsters from other industries in Slem had also joined in, especially the fighting arenas.
The monsters participated as the final performers in exhibition matches. Though they were called matches, they were more like killing shows.
They would fight enemies several or even dozens of times their number, ultimately killing every opponent and winning after narrowly escaping death.
It was all scripted, so every performance was exceptionally bloody and thrilling. Even though many people knew this, they still couldn't resist watching.
It was like knowing the anatomy of the opposite sex and even having had sex with different people, yet still retaining an interest in the opposite sex and sexual behavior.
Some things remained fascinating no matter how many times one tried them.
