For example, strength corresponds to attack and defense, agility corresponds to speed, and intelligence corresponds to mental power. As for what root bone and comprehension correspond to, William Carter hasn't figured it out yet, but since the system has provided them, they must be useful.

"It's just one level up, and my stats have increased this much? My attack, defense, speed, and mental power are now four times that of an average person? This system is amazing..."

William Carter was overjoyed. This really was a system for idle people. As long as he lived leisurely in a reasonably good environment as required by the system, he would naturally level up. If the living environment was even better, the leveling speed would be even faster.

The only thing he regretted was that after leveling up, the system didn't offer any main or secondary professions to choose from, which was simply unimaginable in a typical game system.

This all-round idle person system was truly unique, just like how the now-chubby Grace Bennett viewed William Carter—a bit of a mystery.

In fact, in the eyes of Grace Bennett and others familiar with William Carter, the current William Carter really resembled someone who had just escaped from a certain mountain psychiatric hospital and blended into the ranks of revolutionary, ambitious young social elites. Despite having a prestigious university degree, he was even less reliable than a streetwise punk...

In childhood friend Grace Bennett's memories, the old William Carter was actually quite dependable. Although he inherited some of Uncle Zhou's temperament and had always been a bit carefree since childhood—sometimes staring blankly at the cloudless sky dotted with white clouds, pondering age-old philosophical questions like 'Who am I?' and 'Where did I come from?'—overall, he was still a good student in the eyes of teachers and a good kid in the eyes of everyone else.

It wasn't until William Carter finished his master's degree, officially declared himself unemployed, and joined the massive job-hunting crowd—becoming one of its most unsuccessful members—that Grace Bennett realized William Carter seemed to have changed.

If William Carter used to be a diligent comrade who only occasionally slacked off or acted a little crazy, now he was practically a pig—staying at home all day, either playing games online or sleeping in bed. This made comrade Little Grace feel very frustrated. All the brothers from the college dorm had misjudged things; the real homebody pig wasn't the dazzling Little Gracie, but this guy hiding among the working people, always concealing his true colors as a class enemy.

William Carter's sudden change even worried his parents, who had always pursued a high quality of life and had gone to France to vacation with his second sister before the New Year. They started making international calls one after another, all asking Grace Bennett to help William Carter find a job. At twenty-five or twenty-six, still lazing around at home like an idler—what girl would want to marry him? With no girl in his bed, who would carry on the Zhou family line?

Issues below the waist can determine the superstructure. As for this branch of economic biology, Father Zhou had been studying it for many years...

Grace Bennett really felt the weight of the elders' request—yes, he truly felt it.

Among William Carter's college classmates, Grace Bennett was his only childhood friend, and also the one who was doing relatively well. Thanks to his father-in-law's connections, he, with a medical background, had managed to secure a deputy section chief position at the Human Resources Bureau in Chu City. The job was cushy and lucrative, and he often indulged in some corruption. At class reunions, he was even more of a star.

But William Carter, his closest friend, always seemed to look down on him, never taking him seriously.

This was a habit formed since childhood. From elementary school to university, William Carter had always outperformed him in all five aspects: morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. Poor Little Grace, who had been William Carter's classmate in elementary, middle, high school, and university for over a decade, couldn't even dream of turning the tables, let alone occasionally showing off a little. He was like that giant turtle holding up the stele in front of the Confucius Temple... No, even more aggrieved than that turtle.

So when Father Zhou called, Grace Bennett immediately agreed, almost jumping up with excitement.

At that moment, comrade Little Grace felt as if he had become the key figure controlling William Carter's fate. This exhilarating feeling was even more stimulating than taking some kind of banned substance.

Chapter 3: [Physical Enhancement]

William Carter had always been a true buddy. When he first entered university, and the guys ran out of money for food at the end of the month, he didn't hesitate to sell his laptop to treat everyone to a big meal. After that meal, Grace Bennett and the others were so stuffed they lay in bed groaning until 2:30 in the morning, and that's how he got the nickname 'Edward Carter'.

Edward Carter—the iron buddy!

But as loyal as he was, William Carter wasn't foolish enough to tell the guys about the all-round idle person system. Not to mention anyone else, just with Grace Bennett's big mouth, he'd probably broadcast it to the United Nations, and that would be a huge problem.
