The Story Begins: Two People's Accounts!

[To enjoy this book, please hand your brain over to me with peace of mind! Note: Gathering information from Marvel fans who prefer no harem? The protagonist is weak at first, but it'll get better and better (◕ᴗ◕✿)]

PS: Popular anime check-in spot!!!

"My name is Catalina Allen, female, twenty-two years old, and I'm a Level 2 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent."

"Right now, I'm preparing to write an anonymous report to expose my superior—Yu Xian."

"As for why..."

Under the blazing lights, a blonde girl bit down on her pen, seeming to recall something.

She rubbed her golden hair with a headache, and a faint lavender fragrance spread through the room.

The flood of unbearable memories in her mind gave the girl a burst of inspiration, and she began scribbling away in her diary.

"September 10, 2007. Today was my first official day at S.H.I.E.L.D.

I was incredibly happy at the thought of working with outstanding colleagues and seniors.

Afterward, I got to meet my direct superior, just as I had hoped.

And that was also the beginning of my life's nightmare!!!!!!!!"

The blonde girl's expression darkened. As if she had recalled some terrible memory, she rapidly put pen to paper.

"I still remember the moment I first met my superior.

The afternoon sunlight fell over that Asian young man with black hair and black eyes.

His handsome face and faintly upturned lips were truly captivating... (the entire paragraph was blacked out and crossed out)"

"No, no, no!!!

Do not let that guy's appearance deceive you. He's a demon, constantly stirring up your desires. (important emphasis)"

"Now that I thought about it, perhaps I should have firmly refused the moment I heard his first words!!!!!!!"

As though she had thought of something else, the girl's adorable oval face instantly puffed up, making her look like a round little hamster.

"If you can deeply understand the following words, you'll realize what terrifying demonic words they are!"

"Welcome to Y-Sector: SaltedFish Squad. Let's slack off together... ah, no, let's create a wonderful life together!!!!"

"October 10. Nothing happened today.

God, I feel like I'm dying a slow death!!!

A month, an entire month. The secret missions, undercover gang work, and crime-fighting I fantasized about... never came!!!

No, it wasn't that they never came. Yu Xian, that huge idiot, crossed out, shoved all the missions onto other squads!!!!!

It was hard to imagine what I had been doing this past month???

Serving tea, pouring water, drinking coffee?

Binge-watching shows, reading newspapers, sleeping in?

Although it felt kind of nice and comfortable, scribble scribble crossed out, I clearly joined to pursue an exciting and righteous life. How had I fallen into this sinful nest?

Damn it, I was slowly being assimilated by this guy without realizing it. I was starting to understand how to enjoy life!!!!"

"October 20. I don't know what happened outside.

Thank God, every field squad was sent out.

This time, Yu Xian finally couldn't dodge the assignment!

According to intelligence, an illegal genetic enhancement drug transaction had appeared at a black-market deal beneath Manhattan.

Yay! I could finally go on a mission!!!

Hehehehe!!!!

Why did I ever believe that Yu Xian could turn over a new leaf?

Looking at Yu Xian wandering around Chinatown food shops and snack stalls, then looking at the strawberry ice cream cone and five skewers of grilled squid in my hands, I once again began questioning the meaning of life!!!

God, please forgive my sins!

Although the final result was good and the gangsters conducting the secret transaction were successfully brought to justice.

The process was inexplicably strange. By the time we arrived, those guys had all fallen unconscious!

Only a floor full of bird feathers was left behind. I had no idea which anonymous hero had acted.

I never even got the chance to make a move. It ended in such a dramatic fashion, and I wasn't happy at all!"

(Sigh...)

"October 21. Nothing happened today... I secretly caught up on sleep during work. I got a little excited the night before last and couldn't sleep! Good thing no one noticed!!!!"

"..."

"October 25. Dad, Mom, your youthful and energetic daughter is gone.

God, I weighed myself today and somehow gained half a pound!!!"

(╥_╥)

"..."

"December 21. After my unremitting efforts, I could finally loudly say to that demon: No!

Hmph! Carter would never again accept the after-meal desserts handed to her by that demon!!!”

"March 10. Good news.

According to the intelligence department, there was an illegal arms deal at an abandoned factory in Brooklyn. I could finally go on a mission."

"This time, thanks to my efforts, Yu Xian finally acted like a human being for once.

We only stopped to soak in a hot spring on the way to the mission. Mm, not bad, it was actually pretty comfortable, scribble crossed out.

Mm, nothing happened between us, and we successfully arrived at the mission site.

But unexpectedly, an accident still occurred. That big idiot Yu Xian, crossed out, actually said he wanted to get off work at five o'clock????

Huh??? Get off work???? What about the criminals who were in the middle of a deal???

And that was finally when I witnessed a glimpse of that lazy guy's true strength."

Writing up to this point, Catalina recalled the astonishing scene from the day.

Yu Xian merely drew the incomparably beautiful long sword Hyorinmaru from his waist and calmly said, "Heavenly Phenomenon Descends."

Carter felt the temperature of the surrounding air plummet. It was as though she had fallen from a scorching summer into the depths of winter in an instant.

She couldn't help but shiver as she watched tiny ice crystals condense in the air, glittering and drifting down like diamond dust.

Immediately afterward, centered on Yu Xian, a visible wave of freezing air erupted violently and swept through the entire abandoned factory like a tsunami.

Carter only felt bone-piercing cold invade her entire body in an instant. She could even hear her own teeth chattering.

In just a few seconds, the dilapidated abandoned factory, once piled full of clutter, had become a crystal-clear palace of ice sculptures.

The criminals who had been in the middle of their arms deal were all frozen completely within thick layers of ice, still maintaining their trading postures like lifelike ice sculpture specimens.

Carter: Σ(⊙▽⊙)

What, what was that????

God, if it hadn't been time to get off work, how much longer would this guy have kept his strength hidden from me?

That hateful guy was clearly so powerful, so why did he still slack off, crossed out, lie flat, crossed out? In short, why did he have to drag me down into becoming a salted fish too???"

Just thinking about the abandoned factory in Brooklyn, which was still frozen solid, gave Catalina a headache.

Yu Xian had actually said that they would unfreeze them after work tomorrow, then make the arrests???

Sigh! ε=(´ο｀*)))

For the sake of this squad, she had truly worried herself sick!!!

She could already imagine the scene she would face tomorrow. Countless written self-criticisms were unavoidable!

"My name is Yu Xian, twenty-four years old, male, a Level 7 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent with one Level 2 agent under my command."

"Mm, aside from being a little too hot-blooded and overly righteous, I was very satisfied with her in every other respect."

"Like the protagonists of many novels and anime, I was also fortunate enough to be hit by a truck that ran a red light and transmigrated!!!

I transmigrated into the Marvel universe, during the era before Tony became Iron Man.

Like many protagonists, a cheat appeared during my first month in this world."

"Just when I thought I could rely on this system to struggle bravely toward the peak of life, an unexpected development appeared!"

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Idle System. As long as the Host is in a pleasant mood, you will gain "Pleasure Points."]

[Once you collect 1,000 Pleasure Points, you may draw a lottery. Drawing gold or purple items will grant different Energy Values to increase the Host's strength.]

[The Host's strength is judged by the amount of Energy Value within the body. Related visual interfaces will gradually unlock after the Host unlocks full-star gold and purple skills and obtains five gold skills.]

[Note: Skills obtained through this system must be upgraded in stars to unlock the relevant skill scenarios. Obtained skills will not directly replicate the original skill's strength.]

[Special skills also exist (cannot be upgraded in stars) and can perfectly replicate related abilities. The Host is now granted one Beginner Gift Pack, which can randomly yield one gold reward for self-defense.]

"What the hell?

An Idle System?

An energy system?

Was this damn system telling me to continue down my previous life's path of slacking off?

So slacking off was my only path???

Was Yu Xian supposed to keep slacking off forever?

Forget it, I won't think about it. Slacking off was slacking off. I was just slacking off from one world to another. I should open the Beginner Gift Pack first!!!"

"Afterward, following traditional virtues, I washed my hands, bathed and changed clothes, got a spa treatment, a massage, and a whole series of services, then found an auspicious day on a dark and windy night.

With excitement in my heart, I opened the Beginner Gift Pack!"

"Honestly, I really hadn't expected opening a Beginner Gift Pack to cause such a commotion!!!"

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host, for drawing a gold item: Hyorinmaru.]

"At the time, when I saw Hyorinmaru floating before me, that white blade embodying the union of ice and the moon, I was incredibly excited!"

"Those words, 'Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyorinmaru!', had been a childhood memory of mine!"

"But heaven had unforeseen storms, and you never knew what would happen the next second.

The moment I picked up Hyorinmaru, an accident occurred.

A living ice dragon appeared before my eyes.

The entire park where I chose to open the gift pack underwent a drastic change in weather. A blizzard fell from the sky, and the lake surface froze completely.

What made things even more painful was what happened after the ice dragon acknowledged me as its master.

As I held Hyorinmaru, which had transformed back into a sword, a sky-piercing beam of snowy light actually burst from my body.

It was as though Hyorinmaru was announcing its arrival to heaven and earth.

Coincidentally, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury happened to be having a meal in New York. The moment he discovered the anomaly, he mobilized his forces and located me in less than ten minutes.

Eager to recruit talent, he saw that my family background was perfectly clean and invited me to work for S.H.I.E.L.D.

I originally refused, but the salary and benefits were simply too good, so I had no choice but to painfully agree.

That was how I became a Level 7 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

During the month after I joined, my strength improved rapidly through my unremitting slacking off.

Unfortunately, drawing skills from the system did not bring qualitative improvements.

It was like the difference between Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni. It wasn't that their Zanpakutō were inferior, but that the amount of spiritual pressure within them differed.

The amount of spiritual pressure in my body came from the quantity and quality of the skills I drew. That gap wasn't so easy to make up.

And then, I finally got the squad member that had been promised to me.

Hehe, great. I finally didn't have to make tea or write reports myself anymore!"

[The Host's mood has been detected as pleasant. Pleasure Points +100.]

"So what should our squad be called?

The Marvel squad name that had left the deepest impression on me was the X-Men, so I'd make a Y Squad instead. That way, it wouldn't count as riding their coattails."

"Not bad, this new teammate really was great. Carter was a genuine hot-blooded girl. Her face practically spelled out all her desires; she was only one sentence away from saying, 'I cannot coexist with evil.'"

"As for the opening line, I had practiced it countless times. Once I reached the designated spot.

Bathed in sunlight, I revealed the warm-boy smile I had practiced hundreds of times and said, 'Welcome to Y-Sector: SaltedFish Squad. Let's slack off together... ah, no, let's create a wonderful life together!!!!'"

"At the same time, I silently prayed that the blonde girl had maxed out her report-writing skill points. There were simply too many reports here. Even the smallest matter required a report. Such anti-slacking behavior could only be handed over to her."

"And so, I began my wonderful life, slacking off at work every day and getting off work on time."

"I pushed away every mission I could because I knew my happy days were numbered. Once Tony became Iron Man, this world would no longer be as peaceful and wonderful as it was now!"

"While I could still enjoy myself, I had to enjoy myself more and slack off more to improve my strength. Only then could I seize the initiative in the coming world crises."

"As expected, as the birth of Iron Man drew near, the world began to grow chaotic, and the number of missions I had to carry out increased."

"The first mission was very simple after I took a look at it!

I directly used the animal-control ability I had obtained through the Idle System.

[Purple: (One Piece Series) Dango Dango no Mi (1 Star) "Forced Taming, limited to animal types."]

I had my army of birds carry out precise strikes against those ordinary members of the criminal organization.

The rest of the time was all slacking-off time, and I happily farmed a wave of points."

[The Host's mood has been detected as pleasant during the mission. Pleasure Points +30.]

[The Host's mood has been detected as pleasant during the mission. Pleasure Points +30.]

"Under Catalina's puzzled gaze, I successfully completed Y Squad's first mission!"

"After that, I went back to my daily slacking and happily welcomed the second mission.

On the way to the mission, I firmly upheld my determination to slack off. Amid Catalina's nagging, I chose to soak in a hot spring, and this time, Catalina finally fell too.

After the full hot spring and massage package, I successfully gained more than 200 Pleasure Points.

Only then did we head to the designated location, the abandoned factory in Brooklyn.

Unexpectedly, those people made their transaction so troublesome that by the time we gathered enough evidence, they had dragged things out until it was nearly time to get off work!

I wasn't having that!!!

Now, no one could stop me from comprehending the Great Dao of Slacking Off.

I had no choice but to show Catalina a little of what I could do. I just hoped she wouldn't fall in love with me afterward!

Then I used Heavenly Phenomenon Descends to freeze the factory, ensuring that the people inside would not die within the next twenty-four hours.

Happily clocking out!!!!

What should I do today???

Decided—it's you, Red Light District!!!

[Detected that the host was delighted after forcibly clocking out. Pleasure Points +100] ```
