Big Shopping Spree!

Grandfather Lin Qingmo, seeing that Lin Ciyan had mastered the operation of the basic meditation method, gave a few parting words of "steady and solid" and "do not be rash" before leaving with satisfaction, leaving the space for Lin Ciyan to consolidate his progress on his own.

The moment the door clicked shut, Lin Ciyan immediately dropped his facade, impatiently summoning the light screen in his mind.

[Slacker Shop (Primary)]

[Current Slacker Points: 8874]

[Note: Products from this system are guaranteed quality! (This system reserves the right of final interpretation)]

"Eight thousand eight hundred and seventy-four!" Looking at these abundant "savings," Lin Ciyan's eyes were practically glowing.

"Finally, I can clear my shopping cart... ah, no, I mean conduct some strategic procurement!"

The first target he locked onto was the one he had been longing for—

[Winning-by-Lying-Down Aura (Team Exclusive)] - 3000 points

Ability: Passive skill. When you are in a team and your subjective intent is in a "slacking" state, it slightly increases the luck, explosive power, and epiphany rate of your teammates. The more you lie down, the fiercer your teammates become!

Remark: I am not slacking; I am providing metaphysical support to the team! The true core often looks the most like a freeloader.

"Buy!" Lin Ciyan confirmed the payment without hesitation.

[Purchase successful! Current Slacker Points: 5874!]

An indescribable, subtle sensation instantly enveloped his entire body, as if his very existence had reached a more harmonious resonance with the surrounding environment.

He felt his "aura" had become more... peaceful and infectious?

"Not bad, not bad. In the future, when Bei Bei, Zhang Lexuan, and the others cultivate beside me, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"

Hehe, this is what a team core should look like—carrying the team with one's aura! Lin Ciyan thought happily.

Turning his gaze back to the shop, he began searching for high-level meditation methods.

Soon, an item exuding a lazy yet profound aura caught his attention.

[Great Dream Freedom Scripture] - Price: 4300 Slacker Points

Description: An introductory mental cultivation method originating from a high-dimensional slacking holy land.

No need to deliberately sit in meditation while practicing; it operates automatically during sleep, lying down, daydreaming, and other relaxed states, absorbing the elemental energy of heaven and earth.

Efficiency is comparable to high-level meditation methods.

Long-term practice subtly broadens meridians, purifies soul power, and slightly improves one's innate talent.

Comes with a weak domain effect, affecting friendly units within a certain range of the host.

When in a state of slacking or lying flat, soul power will slowly increase.

The growth rate is half the efficiency of one's own cultivation, and it is easier to enter a "meditative" state while practicing.

Remark: What? Work hard at cultivation? That's what mortals do! True powerhouses get stronger while they sleep! The nemesis of the workaholic, the gospel of the lazy!

"Holy crap! This technique... was it tailor-made for me?!" Lin Ciyan's heart raced as he read.

Not only can he practice while lying down, but he can also boost his teammates and even improve his talent! This effect is simply overpowered!

The ability to increase soul power for friendly units might seem trivial, but it is actually absurdly powerful.

Because this cultivation method operates automatically in a relaxed state.

If one relaxes for a day, that is a full day of cultivation, and it is effective for those around him as well.

After all, it is impossible to cultivate normally all the time, but the Great Dream Freedom Scripture makes it possible.

Lin Ciyan suddenly remembered seeing another cultivation method earlier, so he went to look for it.

Great Dream Spirit Travel (cultivation in dreams, efficiency doubled); this cultivation happens in dreams, and doubling efficiency is quite good too.

However, combining Great Dream Spirit Travel with the Winning-by-Lying-Down Aura...

A blue buff plus a red buff, the double stacking is not just 1+1=2.

The Great Dream Freedom Scripture is still better.

The 4300-point price tag of the Great Dream Freedom Scripture made his heart ache.

But thinking of its long-term value, Lin Ciyan gritted his teeth: "Buy it! Investing in myself is the best way to slack off!"

[Purchase successful! Current Slacker Points: 1574!]

The moment the payment was completed, a massive stream of profound information flooded into Lin Ciyan's mind.

It was the complete cultivation method of the Great Dream Freedom Scripture.

Its core essence lies in "the spirit is relaxed but the intent is not, the form is scattered but the energy gathers itself."

It pursues a state of ultimate relaxation, drawing the elemental energy of heaven and earth to gather spontaneously.

"Let's test the effect!" Lin Ciyan couldn't wait to follow the scripture's teachings.

Instead of assuming the standard lotus position, he simply fell backward.

He lay on the floor in a "big" shape, relaxing his muscles and emptying his mind.

He kept only a sliver of intent to guide his soul power, slowly executing it along the unique path of the Great Dream Freedom Scripture.

Something wonderful happened!

The circulation of his soul power became exceptionally smooth and fluid, requiring almost no mental effort.

The elemental energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some kind of attraction.

It flowed gently and continuously into his body, transforming through his meridians and merging into his dantian and every limb and bone.

He could even feel his meridians being nourished by this warm, gentle energy.

They were becoming wider and tougher at an extremely slow yet steady pace.

"Comfortable! So comfortable!" Lin Ciyan almost groaned aloud.

"This is how cultivation should be! That previous way of sitting cross-legged and suffering was practically torture!"

He could already envision the beautiful future where he, Bei Bei, and Zhang Lexuan would lay out a row of lounge chairs by Sea God Lake.

Everyone would be sunbathing, fishing, and chatting while their cultivation levels soared effortlessly.

This Great Dream Freedom Scripture was truly a divine artifact tailor-made for his "Path of Slacking Off"!

[Ding! Successfully cultivated Great Dream Freedom Scripture, experienced an extremely comfortable way of cultivation, Slacking Points +50!]

Amidst his joy, Lin Ciyan was also aware that as a possessor of the Ultimate Light martial soul.

He would face a bottleneck period after level thirty where his soul power cultivation speed would drop significantly.

This was the inevitable price for the immense power brought by an Ultimate martial soul.

Soul power would be constantly compressed and purified by the ultimate attribute, leading to a slow increase in level.

But precisely because of this, at the same level, the soul power quality and combat effectiveness of an Ultimate martial soul master far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Usually, it was only after level seventy.

That the cultivation speed would gradually return to normal or even become faster, until reaching the Title Douluo rank with no more bottlenecks.

With the Great Dream Freedom Scripture, perhaps I can alleviate the pain of that snail-paced crawl? Lin Ciyan pondered to himself.

Moreover, this scripture can improve talent and widen meridians, which is equivalent to indirectly increasing the upper limit of soul power storage and cultivation efficiency. Brilliant!

Looking at the 50 points just added, leaving him with 1,624 Slacking Points.

Adhering to the principle of "not keeping money overnight," Lin Ciyan continued to browse the shop. Suddenly, an item priced at exactly 1,000 points caught his interest.

[Causality Item: "Definitely Next Time" Amulet (One-time use)] - Price: 1,000 Slacking Points

Description: A one-time consumable. Once activated, you can unconditionally and reasonably postpone a trouble, challenge, or appointment you do not wish to face (such as a spar, meeting, or errand) to "next time."

After use, everyone around will feel that "what he said makes perfect sense, it really should be discussed next time."

Note: The ultimate dream of a procrastinator! As long as I say "definitely next time" fast enough, trouble will never catch up to me!

Warning: Please be a responsible pigeon (occasionally).

"Hahaha! This is good! This is great!" Lin Ciyan was directly amused by the note on this item.

"A causality weapon of 'procrastination'! It's simply a divine artifact for avoiding meaningless involution and protecting one's personal leisure time!"

Imagine if someone came to trouble him in the future, he could just activate this talisman.

He would say "definitely next time," and the other party would even think it was reasonable... the scene was too beautiful!

Although it was a one-time item, using it at a critical moment would definitely save him countless troubles.

"Bought! Consider it buying insurance!" Lin Ciyan waved his hand grandly.

[Purchase successful! Current Slacking Points: 624!]

With the shopping finished, looking at his nearly depleted Slacking Points balance and the three treasures in hand, Lin Ciyan was satisfied.

He changed into a more comfortable position and continued to circulate the Great Dream Freedom Scripture, feeling the soul power flowing leisurely through his body and the wonderful sensation of his meridians subtly widening.

"I have the Winning-by-Lying-Down Aura, the divine skill of slacking off, and even the 'procrastinator's' divine talisman... my Path of Slacking Off is truly becoming more and more promising!"

Carrying beautiful visions of the future, while the Great Dream Freedom Scripture continued to circulate on its own.

His consciousness gradually calmed, entering a deep state of rest that was half-asleep and half-awake.

His cultivation level rose steadily without him even noticing.

And the Slacking Points seemed to be waving at him from the distance.
