A Century of AFK Grinding in Legend, and I'm Invincible in Real Life

With terminal cancer, crushing debts, and death close at hand, Jiang Chen is at the end of his rope when Hot-Blooded Legend: Eternal Era arrives. Game abilities can manifest in reality, and gold coins can be exchanged for real money. Too sick to fight monsters, he simply hides in the beginner village’s safe zone and starts playing entirely on autopilot, unexpectedly activating the Safe-Zone AFK Cultivation System! While others grind desperately to steal monsters and fight bloody battles, he meditates in the safe zone as his experience, gold, and divine gear automatically skyrocket. While others are maliciously surrounded and killed, he triggers absolute defense and counterattack conversion. The harder enemies hit him, the stronger he gets, and the more gear they give him. One day in reality equals a hundred years in the game. Without ever leaving the village, Jiang Chen outlevels the entire server, fills his inventory with divine gear, and endlessly multiplies his AFK rewards. He can even convert BOSS essence fragments into enhancements for his physical body in reality. His terminal illness is completely cured, and his physique becomes inhumanly powerful! From a terminally ill invalid to a real-world superhero, from a nobody to a legend across the server. Conglomerates lay siege to him, guilds provoke him, powerful enemies from overseas cross dimensions to hunt him down, and GMs rig the game behind the scenes. He kills them all with AFK counterattacks. In the game, he slays the ultimate Demon Dragon with one strike and instantly kills the Chaos Demon God. In reality, he dominates superpowered criminals and stands against overseas hegemons. He never leaves the safe zone, yet his AFK play puts him at the top of the world. As the entire server looks up to him, Jiang Chen remains in the beginner village with his eyes closed, resting: “Don’t disturb me. AFK is the way to go.”
