The joke is that what Nekonyaa is talking about is how to get stronger in online games, but Hinako interprets it as how to get stronger in real life. Of course, given that logic, I'm unsure why Nekonyaa refers to dumbbells in the 2nd panel.

I think the TL is a bit off. Nekonyaa's actually talking about exercise in panel 2. The analogy is that exercise, like F2P games, starts out free, but you tend to want to spend real money on equipment like dumbbells.
The "real p2w" joke has also been used by Japanese players of Pokemon Go, to refer to buying stuff irl that helps you in the game (a comfortable pair of walking shoes, a bike, etc). I think Mizuki Hitoshi mentioned this in one of his Kogasa strips.

Thanks for the point out. I modified the TL of panel 2 so that it's clear that Nekonyaa is talking about buying something physical for exercise.
