I Have Infinite Systems In The Immortal World - Chapter 371: Dao of Laziness

What is laziness?

If you have nothing to do, and you do nothing, does that count as laziness?

Possibly.

However, in a logical way of speaking, how can you be lazy if you are doing your work, which is…nothing?

It’s like how one can see darkness, if not the presence of light? Or vice versa.

So then, what is laziness?

When you have work to do, yet you put that work aside to do nothing, now that’s called laziness.

After the first two months of pitiful harvest of LP, Long Ming finally realized a clue. It’s not that how much he is lazing around or doing nothing.

The LP is affected by how many things are getting delayed by your laziness, or say, the magnitude of things affected by your not doing anything.

But then, while experimenting this train of thought, Long Ming found something strange.

Technically, all systems try to strengthen their host. However, there is no point in strengthening hosts if they don’t put the power to use.

Hence, the plot actually progresses rapidly in the background while the host lazes in their abode.

Now again, what’s the best type of laziness?

When your work is getting done even while you are lazing, or say, your minimal effort, is the best kind of lazing.

Only then did Long Ming understand how to properly utilize the system. He needs to act from the shadows, subtly influencing things. However, it should be like a butterfly effect, making Long Ming the hidden mastermind of great storms.

” Master Long, look at this!”

The youth’s name was Fu Mingwu, and Long Ming called him Ah Fu. In fact, that’s his nickname.

” Master Long…”

Fu Mingwu sighed as he saw Long Ming sleeping again. However, despite doing every work of Long Ming while Long Ming lazed around, he didn’t have a single bad thought about him.

After calling a few more times, Long Ming finally removed the conical hat as he glanced at Fu Mingwu, ” What happened, brat?”

” We finally got the bones of an ancient beast.” Fu Mingwu hurriedly spoke. ” It was from a ten thousand year old Ironspike Condor. It contains violent blood energy and essence of wind.”

” Ironspike Condor, huh?” Long Ming said without any emotion in his voice. Leaning back on the chair once more, he tapped on the table, ” It’s passable.”

Fu Mingwu’s lips twitched when he heard Long Ming’s lackluster tone. A ten thousand year old ancient beast bone of such purity was a great treasure for even big clans. Yet Long Ming was treating it as if it was bone of a stray dog.

” But interestingly, you managed to find out the functions of the bones. That means you weren’t slacking off.”

” Of course, Master Long, how could I?” Fu Mingwu fawned over Long Ming. ” Master Long, if you haven’t forgotten, I have…”

” You want to participate in the hunt in the Willow Garden?” Long Ming yawned, ” You are barely a Violet Palace Expansion Realm cultivator.”

Fun Mingwu didn’t budge, ” I heard the prize they are giving is a rank 4 pill called Blood Blaze Pill. It can refine the bloodline and unlock a part of potential.”

” Just a rank 4 pill, nothing special.” Long Ming got up as he stretched his arms, ” Your sister can do better even without that pill.”

” Mm, speaking of your sister…”

Fu Mingwu’s expression darkened when he saw Long Ming’e lecherous expression. Gritting his teeth, he tried his best to maintain the smile, ” Master Long, Sister Mingyu is fine. But it’s just that she can’t meet anyone right now.”

” Oh?” Long Ming grinned, ” Then I think I should definitely meet her.”

” Master Long…”

” Come with me.”

Long Ming didn’t bother with Fu Mingwu as he took him to the back courtyard. It was totally open, with a dozen of training dummies standing.

With a casual flick of his hand, a pair of spiked knuckles appeared in his hands.

” But Master, I want to use swords…”

Fu Mingwu felt distressed when he saw Long Ming using knuckle dusters again. Long Ming snorted when he heard that, ” Brat, I already told you. Everyone has their own path.”

” Sure, swords are elegant, and sabers are dominating. However, what your weak ass needs right now is the method of survival, not some flashy moves.”

” Now watch and learn.”

Long Ming took a step forward as his fist flew. His arm moved like an arrow diving straight to the target.

*BOOM! BOOM!*

Within an instant, Long Ming executed five stances. He was fast enough to show an entire technique, yet slow enough for Fu Mingwu to learn from him.

” That’s all. Practice the move a thousand times before heading to the Willow Garden.” Long Ming threw the knuckle dusters away as he walked back to his seat.

Fu Mingwu stood with a stunned expression as he looked at the dummy. ” Master Long…”

” Also, why not send your sister to my room tonight?” Long Ming flashed a grin, ” I have some new runes…”

Fu Mingwu snapped back to present as his face soured instantly, ” She will come if she wants to, Master Long.”

” Tsk, you better practice it.”

Long Ming clicked his tongue in regret as he went back to his seat. Fu Mingwu frowned as he walked to the dummy.

’ Strange, there are no visible wounds at all. Is that technique just a sham?’ Fu Mingwu groaned as he touched the dummy. However, his face turned surprised as he knocked the dummy.

*THUN THUN!*

With a stunned expression, he pulled out a dagger and dismantled the dummy’s screw. What he saw was that the insides of the dummy were crushed into shards.

” Th-This is…” Fu Mingwu couldn’t say anything at all. It was clearly a technique that could kill someone, and the death would be very violent.

This unnamed technique made him feel powerful, at least, he felt like he wouldn’t lose to someone from a small noble clan.

” Ugh, but can’t he show me a few more times?” Fu Mingwu groaned as he picked up the knuckle dusters.

As he gave the first punch, his eyes widened.

” OUCH! OUCHH! THSI HURTS!”

The antique store displayed various treasures. People generally came here to either purchase or sell something. Most of the work was done by the appraisers here.

The highest grade treasure here was a single Noble grade shield. However, it was heavily guarded, and only Bing Luoyan could unlock it.

Long Ming was about to sleep again when he saw a new customer entering the shop.

” Here is the weapon catalogue, and here is the medicinal list. Please browse and see if there is anything to your liking.” Long Ming spoke with a practiced ease.

” So, you are the new famous appraiser here.” A young man with a deep blue robe stood before Long Ming.

His stature was ordinary, even height was less than that of Long Ming. However, the peculiar thing was his neck. On either side of his neck, one could see pale green scales.

Long Ming raised his brows, ” I am merely one of the appraisers here. The best one here is…”

” No, I am not talking about that old man.” The young man smiled as he put a box before Long Ming.

” I wish to know what kind of thing this is.”

Long Ming’s eyes landed on the box. Finally, he felt interested as he couldn’t help but give a chuckle.
