I Returned to My Village to Lie Flat, and Became the Only Beta Tester

[365-Day Countdown to the Game Invading Reality]

After working himself into the hospital as an office drone in the big city, Liu Feng quit on the spot and returned to his village. All he wanted was to grow vegetables, fish, and lie flat in retirement.

As soon as he entered the village, the world suddenly changed.

[You have entered the Novice Village]

The villagers were all NPCs, the mountain behind the village was a dungeon, and even the stray dog at the entrance could drop loot.

He was the only player in the entire game with access to the closed beta, and his progress wouldn't be wiped.

He helped Granny Wang feed her chickens, triggered a hidden quest, and got a ring.

He taught the village bully who extorted people a lesson, earning the first-kill reward: a million yuan in cash plus a skill book.

He hunted wild boars on the mountain and got a legendary divine artifact.

Even squashing a mosquito earned him a yuan.

While everyone else in the city worked themselves to the bone, he was sunbathing in the countryside, grinding mobs, and doing quests.

Before he knew it, he'd amassed trillions of gold coins and filled his warehouse with divine artifacts.

A year later, the game officially descended upon reality.

The level rankings, gold rankings, equipment rankings, combat power rankings...

The number-one spot on every leaderboard belonged to the same person: Liu Feng.

Players around the world lost it: “Report! Someone's cheating!”
