Chapter 1: The Golden Finger has arrived

Pay attention: this man is named Karl.

At this moment, his brows are tightly knit, his focus entirely on the internal Navy newspaper in his hands—or, to be precise, on a headline titled "The 24th Marine Recruit Training Camp is About to Begin."

"Hoo~"

Karl lets out a long sigh of relief, his expression easing. He folds the newspaper, tears off a piece of tissue... then pulls up his pants, flushes, lights a cigarette, and continues to kill time.

[Host has accumulated 1,000 instances of paid bathroom breaks. The Slacking System has been activated. Detecting host's profession... Profession successfully bound!]

[Daily Task Issued]: Slack off for 3 hours. Any method of slacking is permitted. Reward: Specified Attribute Enhancement Card + Random Bonus Reward.

"You have accumulated 1 hour and 21 minutes for this workday. Please keep it up, Host."

"What the hell! What's going on?" Karl pats his head in disbelief, looking around suspiciously.

This is insane! Could it be that he’s hallucinating from sitting on the toilet too long?

Or is it that his long-overdue Golden Finger has finally arrived?

That’s right, Karl is a transmigrator. Due to an accident, he arrived in this world—a place ravaged by pirates, both familiar and strange.

His talent is average, his luck is average, and his background is even more average. For the sake of his life, he had no choice but to join the Navy to find safety in numbers.

Come to think of it, Karl joined the Navy at 14. Starting as a chore boy, he wasted ten years just to become a Captain in the 108th Branch of the North Blue.

Honestly, Karl considers himself a background character in this world; aside from his handsome face, he is good for nothing.

But now, his luck has finally turned!

"System? Slacking System?" "Present!"

After communicating with the Slacking System, Karl finally understands what kind of thing it is.

Simply put, as long as he does things unrelated to his official duties during work hours, he accumulates "slacking time." Once he reaches the daily quota, he receives rewards.

The profession Karl is bound to is "Navy," and his daily job is maintaining order. Anything unrelated to maintaining order counts as slacking. This makes things simple for him.

He wouldn't dare brag about anything else, but he is far too familiar with slacking—otherwise, he wouldn't still be a Branch Captain after all this time.

[Slacking Career Mode activated. Career Task Issued - Training Camp Storm]: Join the Marine Headquarters Recruit Training Camp, become a recruit, and start your happy slacking life at Marine Headquarters!

Reward: Random Devil Fruit.

[Achievement Reward for 1,000 Paid Bathroom Breaks - Still as a Virgin]: When in a stationary state, stamina recovery speed is doubled.

Karl is stunned. He subconsciously opens the newspaper and whispers, "The 24th Recruit Training Camp? Good, there's still time! I just need to tell the boss. It’s just..."

Afterward, Karl stubbornly stays in the bathroom for another hour, smoking an entire pack of cigarettes before emerging, refreshed, and heading straight to his direct superior's office.

Knock, knock, knock~

"Come in!"

Karl pushes the door open and enters. Inside sits a balding man, wearing a cloak of justice, calmly sipping coffee.

Slap! Karl slams the newspaper featuring the training camp announcement onto Charles's desk. Looking at him with burning eyes, he says in a deep voice, "Boss Charles, I want to go to Marine Headquarters to study!"

Brigadier General Charles narrows his eyes, wondering how long it has been since he last saw such a spirited Karl. Two years? Three? Still, seeing his old subordinate regain his drive makes him very pleased.

Little did he know, Karl just wants to complete his task and change his environment to slack off—nothing more.

"Karl, I remember recommending you to the Headquarters training camp at least three times, but you always refused. Now you’re asking to go voluntarily. May I ask why?"

"No reason. I just want to go to Marine Headquarters and see what those elite recruits are actually made of."

Charles shakes his head helplessly. Karl is clearly not telling the truth, but he doesn't want to press him. He just says, "Fine. Just don't get discouraged by those monsters. Remember, the 108th Branch is always your home!"

Karl nods forcefully, deeply moved. If he can't make it at Marine Headquarters, he guarantees he'll come back to be a salary thief!

Two days later, the warship sent by Marine Headquarters arrives on time. The officer coming to pick up Karl is named Shuzo. He has a pair of long arms, dark skin, and a rugged face. His rank is Headquarters Colonel, and he is very blunt upon first meeting Karl.

"Pretty boy, what are you standing there for? Don't waste my time. There are plenty of other rookies waiting for me to pick them up!"

Karl is stunned, then reacts. What’s wrong with being a pretty boy? Did I eat your rice? Do you know how popular I am with the ladies around here?

But Karl can only say these things in his heart. Looking at Shuzo's well-developed muscles, he has no doubt he could be hammered to death by a single punch.

"Yes! Sir!"

Ignoring his dignity, Karl quickly boards the medium-sized warship and hurriedly says goodbye to Colonel Charles. The warship soon leaves the port, heading toward the next branch.

Seven days later, the warship sails on the sea, heading toward Marine Headquarters, Marineford. Karl leans lazily against the railing, his back to the sunset.

Not far away, several female marines look at him with infatuation. Karl smiles at them, and they shyly turn their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

To be honest, Karl’s build isn't particularly tall, only 192cm.

Black suit trousers wrap around his long legs, the collar of his white shirt is slightly open, revealing a sharp-angled upper body. His eyes are deep and spirited, and combined with his intoxicating face, he is a walking hormone emitter. It’s no wonder those female marines are so intoxicated.

[Daily Task completed. Obtained Specified Attribute Enhancement Card, Lifespan +10 days.]

[Accumulated ten daily tasks completed. Attribute Panel unlocked. View attributes now?]

It has been exactly ten days since he obtained the Slacking System, and Karl has perfectly completed his daily tasks. Now, he has a total of 10 Specified Attribute Enhancement Cards and a pile of miscellaneous items.

These include, but are not limited to, potato chips, "fat-boy happy water" (soda), etc. These are things opened from extra rewards, but not all of them are Move Move Like this. The luckiest time, Karl obtained 100 days of lifespan.

Karl doesn't hesitate and silently thinks, "View attributes!"

Looking at his attributes, Karl frowns slightly, but soon relaxes. Before obtaining the system, he was just an ordinary person with mediocre aptitude, and the thing this world lacks the least is ordinary people.

But now...
