The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 161 As for the protagonist's halo

"As for the protagonist's halo, the principle is similar to survivor bias," System WQBYRZM said, spitting out a sunflower seed shell. "To sum it up: the protagonist's halo is just good luck; no matter what your abilities are, you can't die."

"But this is just the recorder of inspiration who wrote down the protagonist with the best luck in all the parallel universes."

"Moreover, some inspirations are not so continuous, so it is necessary to record them and fill in the gaps with one's own knowledge and understanding."

"Furthermore, if the protagonist dies, unless the original plot is exceptionally well-written or the story unfolds from the perspective of a dead person, no one will want to read it."

"So unless the plot requires it, the author will not let the protagonist die easily."

"That makes sense." Lu Renkui remembered that if she was planning to watch something, she would first check the ending.

She'll watch it if the ending is good; she won't watch it if the ending is bad.

"Over time, the protagonist's halo appeared. But in reality, it's just a title given by the author and readers that has no real value." System WQBYRZM swallowed the sunflower seeds in its mouth and said helplessly, "If there really was such an awesome halo, then the protagonist of the first world wouldn't have died so completely."

"Even in the second world, you wouldn't have turned the attacker into a eunuch with just one shot."

"Hey, why are you bringing this up again?" Lu Renkui changed the subject.

"So what's the situation with this student?" Lu Renkui asked. "The teacher really acted as if she didn't see her at all."

"Based on the information found in the text, it seems that few of the principals and teachers at this school are truly dedicated to their duties." System WQBYRZM retrieved the original plot.

"To put it bluntly, they only care about those capable people they can see, and they only give extra attention to those capable people, while ordinary students or poor students are abandoned and ignored."

Hearing this, Lu Renkui rolled his eyes—it seemed his previous guess was correct; the principal and teachers here really couldn't provide fairness to the students.

Sure enough, if the school had taken action against the bullying incident, it wouldn't have escalated so much. Lu Renkui felt that besides picking up martial arts again, he might also need to carry some self-defense weapons with him.

Actually, this class wasn't very interesting—Lu Renkui couldn't understand why a bunch of high school students were learning about wine tasting—plus, the teacher didn't take attendance, so Lu Renkui simply compared in his mind what weapon could be practiced quickly to match Sun Xi's physique.

I wonder what kind of bullying they're using. If there are a lot of people, they'll just grab the ringleader and beat him to a pulp. Lu Renkui thought to himself as he pretended to listen to the lecture and scribbled on a piece of paper.

Seeing that the dark brown-haired girl was no longer paying attention in class and no longer listening to her, Wang Xin simply stopped talking—others had other classes to attend, so she decided to talk to her after class.

As the bell rang, Lu Renkui, knowing he should carry something with him as a self-defense tool, turned to the ordinary-looking girl who had been sitting on the floor and asked, "What's your name?"

"Wang Xin."

"I am... Sun Xi. How did you know this is a fictional world?"

“There are too many people here, let’s find another place to talk,” Wang Xin said as she led “Sun Xi” up to the upper floors of the teaching building.

Reaching the top floor, Lu Renkui thought they had reached the top, but Wang Xin continued to lead him higher.

Lu Renkui then realized that the stairs leading to the rooftop in the school were unlocked.

Does this school really not worry that students might have suicidal thoughts and jump off the roof?

After reaching the rooftop, Wang Xin glanced at the azure sky and the sun shining brightly in the sky, then turned to "Sun Xi" and said, "Now ask me any questions you like. I can answer them to the best of my ability."

Lu Renkui asked, "How did you discover that this is a fictional world?"

Wang Xin said, "It's very simple. I was reborn, and I discovered it during my rebirth."

"Okay, how was your past life?" Lu Renkui planned to start by making small talk to get closer to him.

“Yes, I have many past lives.” Wang Xin smiled. “Which one are you asking about?”
