In 2077, the world’s first 100% immersive full-dive online game, Heaven Domain Online, launched. Three hundred million players flooded into this cultivation world.
Lin Xinghe, twenty-seven, was a programmer from Earth. After working overtime for forty-eight hours straight, he died suddenly. His soul transmigrated into the game, where he became an F-rank tutorial NPC in Peach Blossom Village, a beginner village.
The good news: He’d transmigrated.
The bad news: He was an NPC.
The even better news: He was bound to the Slacker System, which made him stronger the less he did.
The even worse news: He didn’t know it.
And so...
He stood at the village entrance waiting for the System to load, and the top guild in the game walked past and immediately dropped to their knees.
He yawned, and the game’s number-one assassin was blown three thousand meters away by the resulting gust of air.
He lay down for a nap, and three hundred experts stood guard beside him of their own accord for an hour.
He entered a dungeon, and the dungeon boss immediately killed itself.
The game forum exploded:
“What realm is that NPC in Peach Blossom Village, anyway?!”
“The System says F-rank.”
“F-rank?! You call that F-rank?!”
“Ever heard of returning to the natural state?!”
From then on, Lin Xinghe wanted nothing more than to quietly remain a slacker NPC, but all three thousand players were already kneeling and calling him Dad.
