Miler, who has a system for giving up

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, making it appear particularly gloomy and oppressive, as if the whole world was covered by a thick layer of gray.

The air was damp, with a faint smell of rain.

Flocks of sparrows hovered low in the air, seemingly sensing the approaching storm and searching for a safe haven.

A gentle breeze caressed the leaves and blades of grass, and the branches swayed gracefully in the wind, making a rustling sound.

On the distant riverbank, a lone figure walks.

She was a robust girl with her head down, muttering to herself, "It's all my fault. Why are you doing this to me? You only care about them. What am I to you?"

Her voice was filled with pain and helplessness, which made people feel pity for her.

She clutched a bottle of beer tightly in one hand and the keys in the other, as if they were her only support.

Perhaps because she was drunk, or perhaps because she was emotionally exhausted, she ultimately chose to give up.

She jumped into the river without struggling or calling for help, as if she had lost all hope in the world.

As time went by, her consciousness gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

However, at that moment, a not-so-dazzling light emanated from the girl.

At the same time, I, who was in another dimension, suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation.

I suddenly opened my eyes and was surprised to find myself in the water.

After a frantic, doggy-paddle-like struggle, I finally climbed onto the riverbank. Immediately afterward, a flood of unfamiliar memories rushed into my mind, giving me a splitting headache.

After I slowly sorted through these memories, I finally understood why this girl was so desperate and even chose to take her own life.

It turns out that all of this was caused by her unscrupulous family members!

My name is Miler, and I'm an orphan. This girl has the same name as me, so I'm someone who traveled from another time and space.

My hometown is very similar to this world, but there is one thing that is completely different. In our place, most people can improve their strength through cultivation, and only a small number of people are too poor to cultivate.

However, when I sensed the spiritual energy of this world, it was much stronger than that of my hometown.

And I am a cultivator, and I have just successfully broken through to the Golden Core stage.

However, just as I was in seclusion cultivating, I suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation.

Immediately afterwards, my soul inexplicably entered the girl's body.

I tried moving my body around and found that there was nothing wrong with it. It was just like my original body, even the meridians were exactly the same.

What surprised me even more was that I was able to use my own cultivation technique. Although my cultivation level had dropped from the Golden Core stage to the mid-Qi Refining stage, the familiar feeling of spiritual energy flowing through me still excited me.

Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly came from my mind: "Congratulations, Master, on successfully binding to the 'Slacking Off' System. Since this is your first time 'slacking off,' you are lying by the river, while others are working hard. You have successfully completed your first 'slacking off' task!"

The "Sell-Off Mall" and "Sell-Off Lottery" are now open, and the owner can participate in the lottery for free. Would the owner like to participate?

After thinking it over, I figured it wouldn't hurt to participate in the lottery, so I decided to go for it.

"Start the lottery for you." Looking at the semi-transparent panel, it clearly displayed: "Congratulations, Master, you have obtained the Body Tempering Pill!"

This elixir can enhance your physical fitness and cultivation speed, helping you break through realms more quickly.

The owner can choose to store it in their spatial pocket or retrieve it immediately.

This Body Tempering Pill looks crystal clear, emitting a faint glow, giving people a mysterious and powerful aura.

It seems to contain endless energy, which can make my body stronger.

I excitedly thought that if I took this Body Tempering Pill, I might be able to break through my current bottleneck immediately, regain some of my cultivation, or even reach the peak of Qi Refining.

So, without hesitation, I chose to extract it and held it in my hand. It shimmered faintly in the sunlight, as if beckoning to me.

Just as I was about to take the pill, I belatedly realized that my current location was not suitable for cultivation. Although people rarely passed by, it was not a safe place, since it was in the wild. After careful consideration, I put it back into my spatial pocket.

Because more important than improving my recovery strength, I need to deal with what happened to this girl at noon today, otherwise I'll be homeless.

An image flashed through her mind: a sunny afternoon, she was lying on the sofa watching TV.

Just then, a little boy ran over and asked her to change the channel for him to watch cartoons. She teased him, saying, "No way, hehe~" But the little boy wouldn't give up and kept pestering her, pulling her arm and shaking it, saying, "Auntie, please give it to me, okay?"

Just then, something unexpected happened. Her father, who was sitting next to her, suddenly stood up, walked quickly to her, snatched the remote control from her hand, and slapped her hard across the face.

She immediately felt a burning pain on her face, and covering her face, she said to her father with a wronged expression, "Dad, why did you hit me? I was just playing with the stars..."

However, her father did not listen to her explanation. He thought she was talking back to him, and he became so angry that his face turned red. He raised his hand to hit her again.

Filled with resentment and anger, she thought, "Don't I even have the right to joke with my nephew?" So she decided to stop enduring it, blocking her father's slap with her hand and forcefully pushing him away. Her father was pushed back several steps, almost falling to the ground.

He stared at her, eyes wide with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe she would defy him like this. Then she turned and rushed out of the house, tears streaming down her face, not knowing where to go.

She walked and cried, her mind a complete blank. All she could think was, "I'm her own daughter! How could she hit me for her grandson? It was just because I wouldn't give her the remote control. We were just playing around, joking around!!!"

Why did you hit me? You've never hit me before, not even when I was a kid. You hit me over a remote control? Hahaha, I guess I'm nothing to you after all! My heart was filled with pain and despair. I was utterly disappointed in my family and in myself.

After recalling what happened to the girl at noon, I finally understood the whole story.

So that's how it is! In other words, there are only two choices left: one is to return to that so-called "home" as her; the other is to continue wandering around.

But upon closer reflection, this doesn't seem like a long-term solution! After all, wandering around without a phone or money isn't a sustainable way to live. And what if you encounter some danger?

After thinking it over, I figured going home would be the safest option... I could just apologize to them later. Although this thought made me a little uncomfortable, there really wasn't a better solution at the moment.

After climbing up from the riverbank, I brushed the mud off my body. The weather was hot, and my short-sleeved shirt and shorts gradually dried.

I slowly walked back along the road I remembered. There were few people on the road, and the sky gradually darkened. The raindrops fell in a pattering sound, like beads from a broken string, falling to the ground one by one, as if playing a cheerful melody.

They took shelter from the rain under an eave when a woman walked by. Upon closer inspection, they realized she was the girl's mother.
