Living as a Slacker in the Apocalypse

“Ding! A compatible host has been detected. The Salted Fish System has been activated and is awaiting host confirmation.”

Having read countless web novels, Shen Zhaoying remained remarkably calm. Instead of dreaming about reaching the pinnacle of life, the only thought in her mind was:

This has to be a trap!!!

After all, plenty of systems are the scum of the system world—black-hearted middlemen who exploit their hosts. Fail to meet their KPI, and they’ll send you straight to your death.

She quickly checked herself over, relieved to find she was still alive, then politely declined.

“I’m doing just fine. Please find someone else.”

The Salted Fish System sounded puzzled.

“But your world is about to face the apocalypse.”

Good grief. So the latest trend in system recruitment wasn’t just targeting individuals at rock bottom anymore—it had escalated to dragging entire worlds into the mix?

“I accept! I accept! I accept the binding!”

Shen Zhaoying immediately swallowed her earlier words and surrendered without hesitation.

Fortunately, becoming the system’s host came with incredible benefits: scarce survival supplies, top-tier cultivation manuals, alchemy guides with one-on-one master instruction, full-dive VR helmets, adorable pet mermaids…

But the best part?

No KPIs. No missions.

Now this was the kind of laid-back life she had always dreamed of.
