Chapter 4: Gaining a Modest Title
Page 1/3
Suya quietly finished the compressed biscuits given by the “Billion Good Deeds a Day” VIP, washing them down with bottled water. The hunger vanished without a trace.
After eating, she browsed the communication hall again.
[Even gods fear me, Bai: CPDD! CPDD! CPDD!]
[Player1128: Can the idiot above stop spamming your lousy CP all day!!!]
[Even gods fear me, Bai: @Player1128 Would you like to be my CP?]
[Player1128: ……]
[Player1002: Upgrading to level 2 vehicle was a breeze, completed in one morning (image)]
[joker: People flaunt what they lack most]
[Cheerful Tofu Sushi: Big shot, you’re amazing! Newbie here, please guide me! I’ll cheer for you!]
[Free Wind: (image) Acting like no one else has level 2 vehicles. What’s the point?]
[Passionate American Junior in Love with Cool Hiroshima Senior: Wow, the big shots are incredible~]
[Passionate American Junior in Love with Cool Hiroshima Senior: I want to be as strong as you guys~]
[Passionate American Junior in Love with Cool Hiroshima Senior: Big shot, send a red packet to show your strength~]
Suya was about to exit the communication hall when, just a second before confirming, a big red box popped up at the top of the hall.
Her reflexes sharp, she quickly clicked confirm.
[You received a red packet from “Free Wind” and gained 1 French bread]
In the next moment, a bag containing an intact loaf appeared in Suya’s hand.
The French bread was basically an enlarged French roll, about the size of three of Suya’s fists—enough for a hearty meal.
“Not bad, dinner’s sorted. I really am lucky~”
Feeling grateful for her fortune, Suya opened the communication hall again:
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Thanks, boss, you’re so generous]
[Passionate American Junior in Love with Cool Hiroshima Senior: Big shots are so powerful~]
[Free Wind: Just can’t stand some people putting on airs]
Suya didn’t have time to join their chat, so she promptly exited the hall. Noticing a small red dot on her personal info again, she clicked in.
[Identity: Couch Potato (Current Luck: 3)]

With her luck rising once more, Suya couldn’t help but feel pleased.
After lunch, drowsiness hit, and with no mileage to rush, she simply lay down for a nap on the spot.
…
At 3:30 p.m., Suya woke from her nap.
Looking at the gray, overcast sky in the distance, she felt a bit bored.
Boredom often breeds bold ideas, and Suya was no exception.
“The lazier you are, the luckier you get” was the system’s rule.
“The harder you try, the worse your luck” was Suya’s own guess, lacking direct proof.
So! Suya decided to test the waters and see if pushing forward would affect her luck!
Without hesitation, she slung on her beginner’s backpack, turned the game manual into a ring worn on her right middle finger, and mounted a shared bicycle to set off.
—Ten minutes later—
Estimating she’d traveled about a kilometer, Suya stopped the bike steadily. She placed a bronze chest and a wooden box she’d found on the roadside.
Not rushing to open them, she removed the ring to reveal the game manual and checked her personal info.
All other stats were normal, but the identity line had changed slightly.
[Identity: Couch Potato (Current Luck: 2)]
A small green downward arrow next to the number 2 indicated a drop in luck.
Her earlier guess was confirmed: exceeding the daily mileage by driving a vehicle lowered her luck.
But was this restriction limited only to travel distance, or did it affect other areas as well?
Waiting idly yielded no answers, so Suya took out her Hardware Holy Hammer and raised it to strike the chests.
She started with the bronze chest. As soon as it opened, a spider the size of an adult’s head quickly crawled out.
Suya hated these evil creatures the most. She swung the hammer wildly, smashing it without mercy.
While hammering, she shouted a mantra to herself.
“Eighty! Eighty! Eighty! Eighty…”
Three minutes later, the evil spider was pulverized into mush, transforming into experience points that flowed into the Hardware Holy Hammer.
[Weapon: Hardware Holy Hammer (Attack Power 14)]
Having dealt with the spider, Suya checked the supplies inside the chest.

[Supplies: Level 2 Backpack (Capacity 400, Non-expandable), Bottled Water ×1, Iron Blocks ×2, Plastic ×2, Electric Wire ×2]
After organizing the new supplies, Suya opened her game manual once more.
[Identity: Couch Potato (Current Luck: 2)]
Now Suya was absolutely certain: only driving vehicles beyond the daily mileage limit would reduce luck. Opening boxes, fighting monsters, and other activities had no effect.
[System2712: Congratulations to player “Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God” for discovering the secret of the “Couch Potato” identity and earning the title “I Am a Clever Couch Potato.” Would you like to announce this title server-wide? Announcing will grant you 1 Silver Treasure Chest.]
“Well, I have to announce it!” Suya clicked confirm immediately.
Refusing the silver treasure chest’s temptation was something for others to do; she couldn’t manage it.
[System2712: Congratulations to player “Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God” for earning the title “I Am a Clever Couch Potato.” Everyone, come congratulate them~]
[Sleepy No Early Bed: Amazing, big shot!]
[Player1002: How did you get that title? Why didn’t I get it?]
[Called You Praise Storm: Is this elementary school level?]
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Who are you calling elementary school?]
[Called You Praise Storm: Aren’t you an elementary school student? Who else would pick a name like that?]
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: You’ve got a keen eye, brother!]
[Proud No Matter What: So what if I’m an elementary schooler? I’m proud of it! There’s no shelter to hide in; if the sky falls, I’ll bear it myself. If thunder roars, I’ll cover my ears. If it rains, I’ll hold my own umbrella. Don’t trouble others for things you can do yourself.]
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: There’s no shelter to hide in; if the sky falls, I’ll bear it myself. If thunder roars, I’ll cover my ears. If it rains, I’ll hold my own umbrella. Don’t trouble others for things you can do yourself.]
These words might seem childish for elementary students, but they were just right for college students.
Suya copied and pasted another player’s message and quietly left the communication hall.
Satisfied that opening chests didn’t affect her luck, Suya quickly opened the remaining wooden chest and the silver chest rewarded by the system.
[Supplies: Broken Crafting Table ×1, Bottled Water ×2, Eight-Treasure Porridge ×5, Electric Wire ×3, Iron Blocks ×3, Wood ×3, Plastic ×3]
Suya carefully organized her supplies, equipped the newly obtained title, and her personal info displayed “Luck +3.”
After finishing all this, the time was 4:00 p.m.
The roar of an engine came from behind. Soon, a car stopped beside Suya’s shared bicycle.
