Maxed Out My Passive Skill Due to My Laziness

Chapter 65: Linley, Number One on the Rankings

The moment Occam entered the city, what awaited him was a wave of wild welcome.

The NPCs welcomed his return warmly.

They had seen everything Occam had done. It had all been so dreamlike. He had stopped the invasion of the Demon Realm alone.

“I knew it. Someone will definitely save us. This God’s Chosen One is the hero bestowed upon us by heaven.”

“God, the hero is here. The great hero is so powerful. He solved the disaster instantly.”

“The hero has returned. Let us welcome him with the most enthusiastic applause.”

“Cheers to the great hero of the Arap City.”

Occam stared at it all, dumbfounded.

He looked at the emotions in everyone’s eyes.

Surprise, admiration, joy, admiration, all kinds of emotions.

This was the etiquette the people of this city used on him.

“Er,” Betty thought that there was danger when she saw it. She stood in front of Occam and was at a loss.

Atos followed silently.

Petals fell from the sky.

The flower petals were very beautiful as they descended from the sky. This scene stunned Occam.

“They’re so happy.”

Occam realized later that he had not thought about saving them. He had only done this for the event, for the points. That was all.

“Yes. After all, what you did was to save them, my lord. Their homes and their property were secured. None of their families died. All of this was because of you, Lord Occam,” explained Atos. To him, there was no point in doing this. He might as well let them make food for Occam to taste. Right now, Lord Occam only wanted to eat.

“Forget it, let’s wait for their excitement to end. I’m not in a hurry. I can’t eat anything with them like this.”

Occam accepted everything before him helplessly.

He only did not go offline because he was looking forward to the food in the game.

…

All the welcome was nothing to Occam. He did not fancy any of it.

Anyone who knew him knew that all he needed was rest.

If he could sit, he definitely would not stand. If he could lie down, he definitely would not sit. If he could sleep, he definitely would not just lie down.

This was him. This was Occam. This was Linley.

“It’s finally over.”

Occam heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the people around him had quietened down. If this continued, he would not be able to stop himself from going offline.

“Hero, you saved the Arap City. Do you have any requests that we need to repay?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Lord Hero, please tell us. We will do everything we can to help you complete it.”

“Hero, you don’t have to be sorry. We don’t even know how to repay you for saving us from such a great kindness. Just tell us.”

“You’re right.”

Everyone looked at Occam expectantly.

“Then, I want to eat the delicacies here.”

With a word from Occam, the crowd was in an uproar.

This was what they were looking forward to.

That was the answer they wanted.

They could afford it.

“Kitchen, quick. Go make some good food for Lord Occam. Bring all our fine food up.”

“Alright, we’ll do it now.”

“Hold on, Lord Occam. We’re going to get ready. It’ll be done soon.”

Under everyone’s enthusiasm, they went to do their work.

Before it was time for dinner, flames were everywhere as everyone cooked.

After some preparations, the table was filled with fish and meat, as well as all kinds of unique snacks.

“These delicacies are not bad.”

Occam felt wonderful eating these.

After eating these, Occam went offline.

After logging off, Occam stepped out of the gaming chamber and stretched.

In the game, maintaining the same posture in reality was like this. One had to change their posture to feel better.

“My bones are already cracking.”

Occam sighed at the reaction coming from his body.

This game was indeed interesting.

His fatigue did not stop.

It was already dark outside.

Occam went straight to the living room and searched for dinner.

He held his phone in his hand and started browsing the forum posts.

There was still most information about him on the forum. action

“My popularity is really high. I’m popular now.”

Occam sighed ruefully. He opened the app and it was filled with his own messages and posts.

He opened the top post and looked at it.

“It’s actually a online battle?”

Occam was surprised. It was a conversation between a throwaway account and Jeff.

Jeff was fighting for him. He was crazy with this guy who opened his throwaway account.

Many people on the forum were watching and discussing. When they saw the post, there were over ten thousand replies.

“Such a terrifying amount of replies. It’s more ridiculous than many celebrities’ posts. Moreover, no one posted anything. It has been popular until now.”

Occam was shocked.

He read the content for a while. There was no content. It was all useless.

It had only been a short while since he was exposed like this last time. Now, it was back again.

“Forget it. The post was all about scolding. There’s no technical content.”

Occam was too lazy to participate. His participation would only make the situation worse. There was no point. There was no need to get involved because he was unhappy.

At this moment, he put down his phone slowly.

Then, he switched off his phone.

The day was almost over.

“Sweet dreams. Good night.”

Lying in bed, Occam muttered to himself, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

As time passed, the end date for the event arrived quickly.

The system announcement sounded:

“Announcement: Ding! The Demon Race’s premeditated attack on all the major cities is coming to an end. The “Demonic Creature Hunt” event has been completed. The event has ended when this announcement appeared. Thank you for your contribution in defeating the demonic creatures. The points obtained from hunting the demonic creatures will be on the rankings. The event has ended. The higher the ranking, the more rewards you will receive. I hope that you can do your best in the next event. I hope that you will work harder. The rewards will be sent through email. I wish all players all the best.”

The announcement sounded.

The players in the game went crazy with joy.

This event ended so quickly. They felt that this event had just begun.

They had not obtained too many points.

Of course, it did not matter if they were already at the top. What mattered was not the points, but the ranking.

The ranking was limited.

However, the ranking of the number one Linley had never wavered.
