Chapter 11 System startup failure

Zhou Bai, at this moment wearing pajamas and slippers, ran quickly through the long, dark corridor, with a horrifying roar echoing from behind him.

'Damn!' Zhou Bai's mind was in chaos, with all sorts of thoughts flashing through his consciousness.

'What the hell!'

'Why was I just sleeping at home, got up in the middle of the night to use the toilet, and somehow ended up in this place and met some inexplicable monster?'

He simply kicked off his slippers and ran barefoot. Due to his intense panic, he didn't even notice his body growing younger, gradually transforming from a man in his twenties to a teenage boy of seventeen or eighteen.

Seeing himself running slower and slower, his lungs felt like they were on fire, and the roars behind him grew louder. Zhou Bai's gaze focused as he saw he had reached the end of the corridor, and a large open iron door appeared in front of him.

Without time to think, Zhou Bai rushed through the door, finding himself in a small room less than ten square meters, with no second exit in sight.

'Damn!' Zhou Bai cursed, the increasingly closer roars making his scalp tingle with fear. He hurriedly closed and locked the iron door, feeling a little safer.

'I wonder if this iron door can hold him off...'

But even if it could, Zhou Bai knew he couldn't stay in this empty room forever.

Sweating profusely and fretting over what to do, a female voice suddenly sounded in his head.

"You are Zhou Bai?"

"Who?" Zhou Bai looked around but saw no one.

"Stop looking, you can't see me." The female voice continued, "Do you want to survive?"

Zhou Bai hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes!"

"Then take this, and remember, don't resist or reject it."

As she spoke, a white light appeared from the void and floated in front of Zhou Bai.

Just then, a loud boom echoed from behind, startling Zhou Bai. He turned to see the iron door being pounded and gradually deforming. In panic, he asked, "What is this?"

"Your plug-in. With this, you might be able to defeat the guy outside."

"A plug-in?!" Countless scenes from novels, anime, and games flashed through Zhou Bai's mind. He hesitated but reached for the white light.

Instantly, a series of white characters floated in his consciousness.

Please wait...

The Heaven and Man Nine Disasters Auxiliary System is starting...

... ...

Please practice safely under the guidance of the Auxiliary System.

"The Heaven and Man Nine Disasters?" Zhou Bai was excited. "The name alone sounds awesome; it must be powerful!"

Startup failed. The system encountered an error (connection timed out)

For details, please refer to (click here).

Seeing the words floating in his mind, Zhou Bai was speechless, "Damn it!"

"A system that encounters an error?!"

"And the details can't be clicked at all!!"

The female voice came again, seemingly unaware of what was happening in Zhou Bai's head, and asked in confusion, "What happened? What's wrong?"

"It said the system encountered an error and failed to start!" Zhou Bai shouted, "What should I do? What should I do?" He looked towards the door, seeing it severely twisted out of shape; a pale hand had squeezed through, scratching the wall and tearing off large chunks of plaster.

Zhou Bai's head throbbed, then he suddenly turned, evading, yet still felt something continuously knocking on his head.

"Don't dodge!" the female voice said, "It's me knocking."

Zhou Bai exclaimed, "What are you doing!"

"Let me see if I can fix you."

Zhou Bai retorted, "Do you think I'm an appliance?! This is too reckless!"

Ignoring his complaints, the female voice continued, and Zhou Bai felt several hard knocks on his head.

System startup successful...

"Damn!" No time to complain about the system, Zhou Bai quickly studied the contents that appeared in his consciousness, looking for a way to win.

The Heaven and Man Nine Disasters Auxiliary Cultivation System assists and guides cultivators in practicing the Heaven and Man Nine Disasters.

Current status:

Daoification: 0%

Primordial Spirit Value: 0

Divine Diagram: Heaven and Man Nine Disasters

Laziness: 0

"What the hell are these!" Zhou Bai couldn't make sense of the things appearing in his head, while the large iron door in front of him already had a huge hole, and a thick white arm reached through, making the door creak as if it could break at any moment.

The female voice asked again, "What happened? What do you see? Is it working?"

"Working my ass!" Zhou Bai hurriedly explained what he saw, panicking, "What should I do next?"

The female voice replied, "Daoification is your realm, Primordial Spirit Value is your power, the Divine Diagram is your cultivation method, but what about this laziness? Let me check the manual..."

Zhou Bai looked at the tottering door, listened to the constant roars, and sweated profusely, "Are you kidding me? There's no time to look at a manual now!"

The female voice responded, "There's no explanation here about laziness... try focusing your mind on those words."

Zhou Bai tried to focus his attention on laziness, and a series of messages floated into his consciousness.

"Laziness is a human's nature, but if everyone could turn laziness into a treasure, it could bring prosperity to our race for generations.

This is the first disaster of the Heaven and Man Nine Disasters: Laziness. Enhance your cultivation by absorbing laziness.

Methods to obtain laziness points, example 1: Lying down… the rest are too lazy to explain."

Zhou Bai: "???"

The female voice asked, "How about now? Any solutions?"

Zhou Bai explained what he saw, and the female voice quickly said, "Then what are you waiting for! Lie down immediately! Remember, increase the Primordial Spirit Value first; that's your power. Daoification is your realm; you can't use it for fighting right now."

Despite his confusion, Zhou Bai obeyed and lay down, seeing the increasingly fragile door being battered.

As he lay down, the number representing the laziness value began to increase.

Laziness +1

Laziness +1

Laziness +1

With an average of one point per second, it quickly reached 10 points.

As the laziness value increased, plus signs appeared next to Daoification and Primordial Spirit Value.

Recalling the woman's advice, Zhou Bai focused on the plus sign next to Primordial Spirit Value. Moments later, the original value of 0 jumped to 1, and the laziness value reduced by one point.

At the same time, Zhou Bai felt a loud bang in his brain, an indescribable, mysterious power emanating from his head, then retracting.

With a start, Zhou Bai yelled and sat up.

I expected nothing when I started reading this but dang, this is great. I’ll give a brief review of the plot, please be warned that there would be light spoilers ahead. - The power system is Dao-heavy themed but the world is set on Post-apocalyptic Earth where ‘Mara’ runs rampant and the Qi & Heavenly Dao are polluted hence practioners have high chance of losing control-- mutation or going insane. MC crossed over to this world and woke up in an underground basement where there are only children of the same range of age as him aside from Professor Zhang-- who told them they are the “last of humanity” (these just screams Promised Neverland lol). And before MC woke up on this world, he received a system where he cultivates through being lazy. --- Personal thoughts: Great plot, Good writing. A well-done combination of Cultivation and Post Apocalypse. Humorous. PETS. Moderate to Fast Paced. No harem. No faceslaps. No Arrogant Villain Characters. Recommended. > Author really did a great job writing this, it’s not bland at all. The story as a whole is light and humorous but sometimes there will be a dark, heavy feel and tënsion going on. > The world setting has a mystery surrounding it where in some chapters you’d noticed subtle hints about it. Also, it’s not an info dump. Author minced them apart, fed them to the readers in different chapters so you’ll get time to digest them and also retained a bit of mysterious effect. > The cultivation system, although a bit common but there are also unique points in it-- the terms used, cultivation techniques and rules PLUS the losing control part. IN WHICH the latter really really reminded me of Lord of the Mysteries hahaha. > System. The system also have its restrictions so it did not necessarily made him overpowered where he could facesmack everyone but just enough so he could survive and be labeled as ‘genius’. > Characters. Interaction between them may seem forced at first but it will flow smoothly and naturally later on. MC’s partners and their interactions are the comic relief of this series lol. > Great plus for cats and dogs!!! <3 The only complaint I have is sometimes it’s just too fast paced and the MC. MC is sometimes dumb and sometimes smart. Make up your mind author! Lol. But overall, this is great great great. Review from c39.

Powerful MC with a unique system. There will be slight spoilers and these are the things I’ve gathered from 60 chapters. How is the MC? He seems a little shameless. But that may just be due to the fact that he can get stronger through being as lazy as possible. And he does get pretty strong in comparison to his peers. He’s a little thick-skinned when dealing with other people’s sh*t and has no qualms with doing something that other disapprove of. Story? Can’t go too much into that. But it seems to be progressing at a reasonable pace. Only one major change has happened so far. But I will say that the MC starts in a base with other children and one mysterious caretaker. Concepts? Similar to cultivation, the novel uses “Degree of Taoification” to represent realms, “Primordial Spirit” to represent amount of Qi (?), “Divine Map” to represent a cultivation technique I guess, and “Spark” to represent the energy in the world. The Spark is corrupted and can easily cause normal humans or cultivators to mutate. Those are the basic concepts, I won’t go into further detail. The System? The system allows the MC to generate laziness points by being lazy. He can use these points to increase his Degree of Taoification, Primordial Spirit, and points on his Divine Map. Other than that, the system doesn’t talk much at all. Impressions? I’m looking forward to when I can read more chapters. I’ve read a few of the other trial reads and this one is one of the better ones if not the best. I like the pace the story is progressing at and am enjoying his growth.
