Where is the lottery function of this "Lazy Person System"? Why can't I see it? Ye Rongyao said to himself in his mind, feeling a bit depressed.

Following Ye Rongyao's thoughts, the attribute interface on the system screen disappeared, and a virtual roulette wheel appeared. It had a pointer, a button, and was divided into four categories: [Consumable], [Attribute], [Skill], and [Special]. Each category corresponded to different colors and areas, and the sizes of the four areas were different. The [Consumable] category had the largest area, almost taking up half of the wheel. The [Attribute] and [Skill] categories each took up a smaller half, while the [Special] category was the smallest, barely visible.

After two minutes, the screen displayed an introduction.

Category Explanation:

[Consumable]: One-time use items.

[Attribute]: Permanent attribute items.

[Skill]: Skill experience items.

[Special]: Increases the purchase permission for certain items or abilities.

Note: The final category where the pointer stops is the type of item that will appear in the treasure chest.

After reading, Ye Rongyao's mind returned to the virtual roulette wheel interface. The start position in the middle of the virtual wheel was gray. Ye Rongyao tried to start it several times, but the wheel did not respond. Ye Rongyao understood that he did not have the so-called Glory Points.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have any Glory Points now. Otherwise, Ye Rongyao would definitely try his luck with the lottery. After all, this system is so mysterious, and the items obtained from the lottery would surely be extraordinary. Ye Rongyao was eager to try.

Ye Rongyao looked at this "Lazy Person System" and realized there was nothing else he could study at the moment. He had to leave the room and go to the kitchen to see his beautiful wife. Ye Rongyao understood that if he wanted to accept tasks from the "Lazy Person System" and gain Glory Points, he could only try his luck by being near his wife.

"Honey, why are you out? Weren't you going to sleep?" Liu Qingqing looked at Ye Rongyao, who was walking into the kitchen, with some surprise.

"I can't sleep without you by my side," Ye Rongyao said.

"Hehe, when did you become so clingy?" Liu Qingqing said with a smile. She really felt that her man had changed. He never used to say such things. This change was something Liu Qingqing was happy to see. Although she hadn't fallen in love with this man yet, she was willing to try to fall in love with him. After all, this man would be the one to accompany her for the rest of her life.

"Helping Liu Qingqing wash the dishes, reward: 100 Glory Points." The system's synthesized voice sounded in Ye Rongyao's mind.

Finally, there was a task. Ye Rongyao was particularly happy and quickly walked to Liu Qingqing's side, saying, "Wife, I'll help you wash the dishes!"

"You'll help me wash the dishes?" Liu Qingqing looked at Ye Rongyao in surprise. She had been married to the Ye family for a year and a half, but she had never seen this man do any housework. Suddenly, he wanted to help her wash the dishes, which really surprised her. She wondered if something was wrong with his mind.

"Yes, wife. Didn't I say I want to change myself? Let's start with helping you wash the dishes," Ye Rongyao said, scratching his head. To be honest, he had never washed dishes before. As the only son of the Ye family, and being a late child, he was very spoiled, which made him lazy from a young age, doing nothing.

"Do you know how to wash dishes?" Liu Qingqing asked. In fact, before marrying into the Ye family, Liu Qingqing also didn't know how to wash dishes, cook, or do housework. But reality is harsh. Three months after marrying into the Ye family, Liu Qingqing had to learn to do housework and take care of her man, which was something she never did in her previous home.

"You know how to do it, right? You have to teach me!" Ye Rongyao said.

"Okay, I'll teach you how to wash dishes," Liu Qingqing said happily. It was rare for her lazy husband to be willing to do housework, and she wouldn't refuse. This showed that her man was really changing for the better, which made her very happy. After all, she was just a small woman, and it was hard for her to shoulder the burden of a family alone. She needed a man to provide her with a safe haven.

Although this man had his flaws, as long as he was willing to change and work hard, Liu Qingqing believed he would eventually provide her with a safe haven.

...

After breaking two bowls and a spoon, Ye Rongyao finally helped his wife wash five bowls, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.

"Honey, you're so great, you can wash dishes now," Liu Qingqing said happily.

"But there were only five bowls, and I broke two of them," Ye Rongyao said, feeling a bit embarrassed. He didn't realize that washing dishes could be so difficult.

"That's not important. What's important is that you can wash dishes now, isn't it?" Liu Qingqing said excitedly. In her view, even if all five bowls were broken, it was more important that her man was turning over a new leaf. As the saying goes, "A prodigal son who repents is worth more than gold."

"Hehe, you're right, wife. Those things don't matter. What matters is that I can wash dishes now," Ye Rongyao said happily. He never thought he would be able to do housework, which was a truly amazing thing.

"Congratulations, host, for completing the designated task 'Helping Liu Qingqing wash the dishes'! You really are embarrassing, breaking two out of five bowls. Considering it's your first time doing housework, the system gives you an 'Excellent' rating, rewarding you with 100 Glory Points."

It turned out that the "Lazy Person System" evaluated task completion in three levels: Average, Excellent, and Perfect. For an average rating, you would only get 80% of the system's reward. For an excellent rating, you would get the full reward. For a perfect rating, you would get 120% of the reward.

Ye Rongyao quickly checked his attributes, as he wanted to see the Glory Points credited to his account to feel reassured.

Host Name: Ye Rongyao

Host Gender: Male

Host Age: 28

Host Occupation: Farmer who can't do farm work

Looking at his attributes in his mind, Ye Rongyao was so happy that he couldn't wait to draw the lottery. However, seeing his beautiful wife by his side, he forced himself to suppress the urge to draw the lottery.

For Ye Rongyao, the "Lazy Person System" was his biggest secret, and he couldn't tell anyone, not even his wife. He knew that any secret, once shared with a second person, would no longer be a secret and would eventually be exposed. Even a lazy person with only a junior high school education understood this.

If anyone found out about this mysterious "system" on his body, Ye Rongyao knew he would face terrifying consequences. Unless he became powerful enough to look down on all the forces on this planet, he would have to keep this secret forever.

It wasn't that Ye Rongyao didn't trust his wife. The world might have people with unimaginable abilities who could see through her thoughts with just a glance, potentially exposing his secret about the "Lazy Person System."

As for himself, Ye Rongyao wasn't too worried. He was just a small farmer, and people with such abilities wouldn't notice him. Even if they did, Ye Rongyao wasn't afraid. He believed that this "Lazy Person System" was so powerful that it would prevent others from discovering it.

After chatting with Liu Qingqing for a while, Ye Rongyao felt drowsy. After all, for a lazy person, most of the day was spent sleeping, especially for someone as weak and fragile as Ye Rongyao.

"Honey, if you want to sleep, go back to bed," Liu Qingqing said, seeing that Ye Rongyao was drowsy. After being together for so long, she knew very well that her man had a habit of "sleeping deeply."

"Okay," Ye Rongyao responded, standing up and walking to the front room. Indeed, he was feeling quite sleepy, and he was also eager to go back to the room to draw the lottery.

Back in the bedroom, Ye Rongyao quickly closed the door and locked it. He wanted to draw the lottery from the "Lazy Person System" before going to sleep.
