In a world where strength rules and cultivation decides one’s destiny, Lu Tian had perfected the art of doing nothing. Nicknamed the “Salted Fish King” by his peers, he spent his days napping under the sun, avoiding responsibilities, and ignoring his unrealized potential. Everything changed when the Myriad Astral Guide System awakened. “Host detected. Task: Cultivate or perish!” “Wait, what? Work? Can’t I just sleep a little longer?” Forced to complete grueling tasks, tame powerful beasts, and rise through the ranks, Lu Tian’s peaceful days crumble into chaos. But as the system pushes him to become stronger, the world begins to see a side of him they never expected. “Lu Tian… he’s at the bottom of the class? How is he defeating a Gold Core expert?!” “Is that another celestial beast following him? Where did he find it?” Behind his laziness lies unmatched talent. Behind his unwilling hands lies unimaginable power. As challenges mount and enemies close in, Lu Tian must abandon his salted-fish dreams and rise to claim his place at the top. This is the story of an idle genius forced into greatness, where every step shakes the world and leaves everyone speechless!

Does he expect me to carry condom around?" "Every healthy male carries a condom around," Efe replied. His eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets. "Do you have a condom in your pocket?"
