My Idle System

Chapter 2: The Idle System (2)



But since it wasn\'t something urgent, he decided to move on and check the other things for now.

The constitution should reflect the strength of his body, and perhaps a six could be considered good, given his very unhealthy lifestyle and lack of any physical activity.

The comprehension stat seemed to be the most important—or so Christian felt—as it should help him study things faster and more efficiently, saving him time.

The unassigned points were a pleasant surprise. And while he\'d prefer to see how the system works before assigning them, he would likely put them into comprehension since he had no plans to fight anytime soon, if possible ever.

Then, going down further, he reached the skills section and, disappointingly, found none.

The last and clearly the most important feature was the Idle Practice Slot. While he understood the name of this function, he wasn\'t sure how to use it or activate it. As unfortunately, there were nothing written.

Trying the first thing that came to his mind, he concentrated on it, thinking it might work like the previous message window. But after waiting a bit and just as Christian was about to feel disappointed, some kind of information suddenly came to his mind

As it was so sudden, he clutched his head from the pain, but it faded away as quickly as it had come.

Calming down and digesting the information, Christian felt both enlightened and delighted. The Idle Practice function could do anything on his behalf, and when he said anything, he meant it literally.

He could imagine putting high school subjects into the currently available slot, and the system would simulate him practicing those subjects as if he were studying them in perfect conditions and an ideal environment.

If someone were asked, "Have you ever done something under perfect conditions?" the answer would likely be no, and it even might be a vague response. In very rare cases, someone might say they experienced it for a moment, like a sports player who enters the famous "zone" during a game. Such a player might experience this state only once or a few times in their life.

But that was it, in the end it would still be something very rare.

History books are filled with famous tacticians who, despite facing opponents in war with triple or more their numbers in military force, still managed to secure victory. If we dig deeper into the reasons, it often comes down to the presence of an ideal environment for the battle. And these brilliant tacticians were able to utilize such conditions to their advantage.

And the system would simulate him practice in perfect conditions and an ideal environment. So, how many times more effective would it be? If something had taken him a month before, how much shorter would it become now?

And all of this while he took things easy, just thinking about it got him excited.

Not to mention, there are other factors that would affect Idle Practicing. The constitution would, of course, influence the physical activities for him. Additionally, comprehension impacts everything, not just his studies. But anything that had relation to mind activities.

Like in sports, when people spend their youth perfecting certain moves, and comprehension would affect that as well.

Aside from these factors, the most troubling aspect would be knowledge, such as learning how to build a spaceship or how to fly.

He could put this kind of thing in the Idle practicing slot, but from where would that knowledge come?

While the system didn\'t clarify, Christian could still imagine that the more knowledge he had access to, the easier studying would be. Otherwise, he would need to explore and research the things he wanted to learn slowly.

So, the crux of the matter was that he couldn\'t get something out from nothing, but it was still more than acceptable.

Most importantly, the experience for leveling would come from the Idle Practice function.

Christian while still feeling a rush of excitement and adrenaline, considered his current situation. What would he need the most right now? Would it be strength? He asked himself this question, and the answer was, of course, no.

Then his mind shifted to other matters, starting with his studies and whether he should consider going to university. Although Christian hesitated a bit because of his sister, he still didn\'t see the need to attend university. Going there and being lazy, unlike others, and then doing some face slapping was really not his cup of tea, as he could just take things easily now.

And the university didn\'t have something attractive enough for him after all.

He didn\'t need to show off; he wanted to live more according to his ideals and aspirations. Maybe later he could focus on studying for his final high school exams, but he didn\'t feel the need to pursue anything more at the moment.

After carefully considering everything and his current situation, the answer he arrived at was, MONEY. Nothing could begin without it. High school and university were merely transition periods leading to the working world, where one would start earning a salary.

Even so, some people might argue that education is important for social standing, communication, and other aspects. But having lived eighteen years, the transformation from being a student to becoming a corporate slave didn\'t seem particularly valuable or necessary to him. While having a good position at a well known company might make life somewhat at times easier, but that was about it.
