Patty woke up from a good 8 hour sleep that immediately started his good mood. However, the problems of yesterday knocked on his mind like an annoying good-natured neighbor. But he didn’t let that bother him.
The good thing about being lazy was that he could just be lazy with being annoyed. He simply stopped thinking about it and his mood improved. It was as easy as that. Of course, the more he tried to procrastinate the inevitable, the more he would be in trouble later on.
But that was not his problem. It was future him’s problem.
Right now, it was a new day, which meant new rewards from the system.
[Congratulations!]
[You have successfully logged in for 3 consecutive days.]
[Reward: 500 Minion Growth Crystal]
[Job Completed]
[Gained 17 Yi]
Speaking of which, he didn’t get the chance to upgrade his minion yesterday. With this new influx of growth crystals, now was finally the time to upgrade his daily income of Yi Power. Even if he didn’t appreciate Yi Power, he would be stupid if he didn’t take advantage of this aspect of the system.

[D-class Tendora]
[Description]
A green-skinned monster that walks upright on two feet. It is made up entirely of muscle and tendon with no head and only two arms and two legs as its extremities. This phylum of animals has perfected physical growth to its maximum.[Level: 7/30]
[Growth Crystal Required for Level Up: 50]
[Ability: 17 Yi/day]
[Application]
Physique[Real world immersion failed due to low class]
[A-class Muscava Cyclo]
[Description]
A tiny avian animal that is renowned for its large protruding eyes that can see up to 360 degrees. Using its stature that is smaller than a fingernail, this animal avoids predators using its all-seeing eyes and fast movement from its four wings in its back.[Level: 0/70]
[Growth Crystal Required for Level Up: 10]
[Ability: ‘slow down time’ for 0 seconds]
With increased senses, the user will feel time had slowed down. At level 0, the user cannot use the ability at any time. Only when the minion feels that the user is in danger will it show itself and activate the ability. The user has to level up the minion to freely activate its ability[Application]
Nervous System[Real world immersion failed due to low class]
[Partial immersion achieved!]
The first thing he did was upgrade the Tendora minion to level 10 because it was always bothering him that the level didn’t end up in multiples of five or ten. Now, he will gain 20 Yi Power every day. By doing so, he was left with 385 Minion Growth Crystals left.

[Level: 10/30]
[Ability: 20 Yi/day]
[Minion Growth Crystals: 385]
Then, the next thing he noticed was the ability of his A-class minion. He only figured out how overpowered the Muscava minion was yesterday. It could slow down time for him only when he was in danger. That was what he thought.
However, it seemed like he was wrong. The reason why the minion didn’t appear in front of him any time he wanted was because he didn’t level it up!
Patty slapped his own forehead at this revelation. If he had just visited the minion tab and saw this earlier, he would have leveled it up much earlier. But as much as he was mad at himself, he was more mad at the system.
Why didn’t it give him hints about how the minion worked? It should have at least given him some idea that he just needed to level up the minion to use it.
“Why are you even called the Lazy System?! This should be automatic! You should upgrade all my stats and possible level ups on your own!”
That was his ideal system. However, he was left with this system that gave him false advertising.
Whatever, Patty thought. He didn’t have any choice in his system because he was stuck with this ‘lazy’ power even if he didn’t want to get rid of it.
He leveled up the Muscava minion with the rest of his Minion Growth Crystal.
[A-class Muscava minion]
[Level: 9/70]
[Ability: ‘slow down time’ for 9 seconds]
Excited with this new ability, Patty picked up a fork from his table and tossed it in the air. With great concentration, he thought hard about the Muscava fly and how he wanted it to appear right at this very moment.
But even as the fork reached the apex of its flight, he still didn’t see time slow down like he expected. The fork slowly stopped and went down like it would normally do.
And just as Patty thought he was scammed once again by the system, he heard a buzzing beside his ears as the world suddenly became slower than it should. Patty watched as the fork tumbled in the air even slower than it would be if it sunk in the water.
He could clearly see the indentation of the fork’s manufacturer, he could even see the tiny marks and slashes from years of use and cleaning. It truly felt like the world had slowed down.
But he knew that it was not technically true. His perception and instincts were simply enhanced so much that he could see the movement of his surroundings as if time had slowed down.
Even if it was not a true time slow, it was still an amazing power that he could take advantage of.
During tests, he could slow down time and peek at his seat mate’s paper to see the answer. He could finally dodge Professor Wraithborne’s chalk whenever he was pissed off. The possibilities were endless!
The euphoria he felt made him feel invincible!
TUK
“Oww!”
Unfortunately, he forgot about the fork as it landed directly in the middle of the skin and the nail of his pinky toe. No matter how strong he got, the feeling of hitting your pinky toe on something was a pain that cannot be ignored.
As Patty intentionally stopped thinking about the Muscava minion, the world suddenly started to speed up.
Although he could only activate this ability for 9 seconds for now, he could always upgrade it until he could use it for at least a minute.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he got. Not only that, he wanted to summon more minions just to get more overpowered magical abilities. Even if the chances were small, that problem could be solved by pouring more and more resources and getting more summoning scrolls.
It was an addictive feeling that was probably intended by the system itself. It was more incentive to finish more missions and stuff. He didn’t even know how the system was benefiting from his missions.
Whatever. Patty was too lazy to think about that stuff.
Speaking of missions, he could complete a few of those and get a free summoning scroll!

These missions were so easy that he could do it in the comfort of his own home. He scavenged through his fridge and took out anything that looked edible. Some were way past their expiration date, but that didn’t matter. Calories were calories.

After that, he started chugging water directly from the tap like a deranged person. He looked like a wanderer who was trapped in a desert for a whole month. It didn’t take much for him to feel the tingling sensation in his nether region. He quickly took a trip to the bathroom to feel relief.

After that, he went back to his normal routine of lounging in his bed and watching videos on the internet and watching his favorite tv shows on the television. In the blink of an eye, he finished another daily mission.
For Patty, that truly didn’t feel like four whole hours. Whenever he was relaxed and happy like this, the sun could go up and down in the sky and he wouldn’t notice a thing. There were times when a whole day would pass and he would think only 2 hours passed.
But finally, the call of the wild came. Not the television show, but his digestive system. It looked like some of the expired bread and frozen treats in his refrigerator did a number on his stomach. Fortunately, that was part of his mission. While in the bathroom, he finished his daily missions.

And while he was in the bathroom, he kept on browsing the internet. Usually, he would stay in the bathroom for 30 minutes or 1 hour just because he would be too occupied in watching funny animal videos.
However, one of the worst things happened. The video started buffering. And it never stopped. He looked at his settings and saw that his internet stopped working!
“Damn. The company finally cut off my internet.”
He expected that since he hasn’t paid their bills for a long time.
Whatever, Patty thought. He could entertain himself with other means.
Getting off the bathroom and going back to his bed, he opened his tv. But the remote didn’t seem to work. It was finally then that he started to notice that his lights were turned off, the fridge stopped it’s annoying rumble.
“Damn. No electricity.”
He also hasn’t paid for the electricity bill.
“UGHHHH!” groaned Patty. Why was it that whenever he tried to skip going to school he would be forced to go there for some reason?
He desperately needed money.
