The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

Half an hour later.

Roger, having eaten and drunk his fill, with fifty thousand gold coins bestowed by the Queen in his storage ring, left Charles Manor after leaving two letters for his sister.

He was about to begin his first experiment in proactive slacking.

A crucial part of this was not being disturbed by his sister.

Being asked about his 'Study Strong Nation' score every day was really affecting his mood.

His sister had been acting as the head of the household for too long and had already mastered the mom mode.

He planned to spend the next few days at the apartment under Dio's name.

This was where the convenience of having two identities came into play.

One letter, under Roger's name, said he was going on a field investigation with the Minister of History, with the return date to be determined.

The other letter, under Dio's name, confirmed that he had invited Master Charles to conduct some research.

Perfect mutual corroboration!

Logical closed loop!

My overthinking sister can't control me, hahaha!

Angelina knew that "Roger" knew "Dio."

Not long after he became a Recorder, he had told his sister that he knew a Lord Brando.

The two got along very well on historical views and had many consistent ideas.

Occasionally, when he came home late, he would say that he went to be an assistant to Dio's advisory group.

Angelina was quite gratified after hearing this and sent a generous gift to Dio.

She believed that the Recorder personally selected by His Majesty must be a very talented person.

It was fortunate for her brother to learn from such a person.

Roger would also occasionally share some of "his research results" with Angelina, which naturally made Angelina even more gratified.

In this way, the two identities of Roger and Dio covered for each other, and there was a lot of room for operation without playing "I kill myself."

From now on, I am also a story-telling expert with two WeChat accounts!

As for the proactive slacking experiment project during the holiday, Roger had already thought it through:

Buy a house and then renovate it.

This was the most suitable project that Roger had screened out based on an in-depth analysis of his personality and psychological needs, combined with the characteristics of this world, plus the seven-day time limit.

In his previous life, he had been wandering around for various reasons and had no fixed abode.

Although Charles Manor was luxurious, it was, after all, a medieval design, and there were many things that did not meet the aesthetics and needs of modern people.

Moreover, his sister was the head of the family.

No matter how much she doted on him, she would get married sooner or later.

At that time, would he still have to look at his brother-in-law's face?

To take a step back, if there were women who admired him in the future and wanted to tutor anatomy with him, doing this kind of home teaching in his sister's house...

It always felt weird.

Therefore, he still needed to have his own house.

Not rented, but bought, and could be transformed into something he liked.

Just thinking about this goal, Roger's mood became cheerful and full of motivation.

Open the road to proactive slacking for me!

Chapter 27 Please call me treasure chest harvester

When he thought of buying a house and renovating it, the impulse in Roger's heart was somewhat similar to the feeling he had when he first caught the inside story of the Manny City Incident.

But it was purer and more powerful!

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, digging out his mother's black history under the threat of death was self-expression, which belonged to high-level needs.

A place to live, on the other hand, satisfied many aspects of security, social interaction, and respect, all of which were low-level needs.

The lower the level of need, the stronger the desire, and the higher the intrinsic driving force it brought.

Slacking off is a state of life that satisfies self-pursuit and is not bound by secular concepts and the eyes of others.

It's probably about implementing the attitude of "I don't want you to think, I just want me to think" into every corner of life.

Therefore, Roger analyzed that satisfying his low-level needs, in theory, no matter how much time and energy he put in, should fall into the category of slacking off.

In addition, he had previously obtained the God-level architectural design skill, which reduced the difficulty of the work and increased the probability of entering the flow work state.

Considering all factors, Roger believed that as long as he did not deviate from his understanding of the system, he could not find a reason for the system not to settle the reward.

Good job, reward!

It just so happened that Dio Brando had just joined the cabinet, had money and status, bought a house and settled down, and it was logical to settle in the City of Mysteries.

Lazy afternoon.

Lord Dio Brando found the most expensive and well-reputed real estate agency on Commercial Street, and after looking at several houses recommended by him, he had a favorite target.

This was a two-story building located on Dell Street, with a small area and small courtyards of about 100 square meters in front and behind.

In the backyard, an ancient tree with a canopy stretched out its branches to completely cover the roof of the building, which was both deep and cool.

There were many such small buildings on Dell Street, mostly inhabited by small nobles, government officials, and successful businessmen.

The security was good, clean and tidy.

A few streets away there was a small river, with a river embankment paved with beautiful pebbles. Taking a slow run down the sunset might remind you of your lost youth...

The small building was very well maintained, and the main structure had been magically reinforced.

Roger did not bargain and gave the real estate agent an extra fifty gold coins.

The agent was very happy and used his exclusive "magic" to help Roger complete all the formalities such as transfer in the speed of light.

Before dinner, Roger got the title deed for a total price of one thousand gold coins.

Having experienced the magical house prices in a certain big city, Roger felt it was a bargain.

Capital, second ring, courtyard villa, permanent property rights.

One thousand gold coins?

Worth it!

"Goodbye, Lord Brando, I believe I will have the opportunity to serve you again."

The real estate agent said goodbye to Roger with grace.

He was a young cabinet minister, generous and straightforward. He felt that such a high-quality customer would soon have the need to replace a large manor.

Roger nodded and took his business card.

The service efficiency and quality of the intermediary were excellent, and the small premium was worth it.

The former owner of the small building was a baron, who was going back to his fief because of investment failure, and was a little reluctant to part with this ancestral property.

But it was already someone else's house, and he couldn't help but feel bad.

Although he sold it for a much higher price than expected, he couldn't be happy at all.

If possible, he would still be willing to stay in the prosperous imperial capital!

In fact, Roger was quite envious of this baron.

Because the baron successfully slacked off, but he couldn't.

This is life, this is a besieged city.

Roger shook his head, forgot his little confusion, and began to work on a renovation plan.

When he saw this small building, many inspirations burst into his mind.

With the help of God-level architectural design skills, he wanted to make it more beautiful, more comfortable, and more convenient.

Of course, safety also needs to be considered.

The skills rewarded by the system are also called God-level, and they will never be bad.

His current architectural design ability can perfectly integrate the magic of the Eternal Night World into the modern design concepts of the Earth.

He returned to his small apartment, ordered a very simple takeaway, and began to draw drawings while eating.

Modifying and modifying, there were always new inspirations that made him overturn the previous design.

Roger didn't feel tired even after making several versions of the drawings, and was still full of fighting spirit.

This was the first property under his name.

It was not big, but it completely belonged to him.

It would become the way he liked it, it was his "exclusive domain", and there would be many wonderful days and nights in it in the future...

This feeling is really wonderful!

Late at night.

"Ding, the slacking system detects that the host's mood was stable yesterday, and a random treasure chest has been obtained. Do you want to open it?"

Unconsciously, it was past midnight.

Completely immersed in work, time passed no slower than playing games.

Roger was not in a hurry to open the treasure chest and continued to draw.

After confirming that the system reward had been received, he let go of the last trace of anxiety in his heart.

His proactive slacking test was initially declared a success!

As long as he grasped this feeling, there would be a continuous stream of treasure chests in the future!

He set a small goal for himself:

Save enough for the first ten consecutive draws since he crossed over, and then open the boxes!

...

...

On the first day, he finalized the drawings, on the second day, he hired magicians and construction workers, negotiated the project, and then ran the materials...

On the third day, he supervised the construction and solved the problems found on site.

On the fourth and fifth days, he ordered furniture, purchased household alchemy devices, and bought various decorations and soft furnishings...

Many jobs that take a long time on Earth can be speeded up dozens of times as long as you are willing to spend money to hire magicians.

The main structure of the small building, which was originally in the European medieval style, has not changed, but the feeling it gives is different.

The exterior is in a simple style, showing the characteristics of stone and wood as much as possible, with a kind of primitive and unadorned natural beauty.

The internal space layout and facilities are very modern.

Water supply and drainage, toilets, magic lamps, alchemy air conditioners, two-hole stoves for stir-frying, etc.

Roger also asked the alchemist to inject a spirit into his villa, named "Big Smart".

Big Smart is proficient in the languages of thirty-four races, can control all magical items in the room, and understands vague instructions.

The level of intelligence is stronger than most artificial idiots in the era Roger crossed over, and it does not need to be connected to the Internet.

Big Smart lives up to its name.

The decoration work was basically completed on the sixth day.

The high-power wind magic array is accelerating the discharge of residual material odor in the room.

There may not be formaldehyde in this era, but it is true that many alchemy materials are poisonous.
