Shen Fangzhi considered himself an utterly ordinary, unremarkable person.
If he hadn't suddenly been grabbed by a System and tossed into an infinite world while walking down the street, he felt the keywords of his life might never have had anything to do with excitement.
In the infinite world, the System told him, "Your teammates are all protagonists of different kinds. We've got revenge-story protagonists, level-up-story protagonists, adored-by-everyone protagonists, and comedic protagonists. You name it, we've got it."
"As for you..." The System looked at him meaningfully.
Before he could say anything, Luo Qianlin nodded knowingly and said, "I get it. I'm an utterly ordinary passerby A, the kind who gets no screen time."
System: ?
.
People said that Luo Qianlin only managed to secure a place on a team full of overpowered protagonists because he was lucky.
His high rate of clearing instances and excellent performance were supposedly all thanks to riding on his teammates' coattails.
The protagonists who knew Luo Qianlin's true strength: No... Don't be so shallow! This guy is terrifying!
Back then, the instance bosses had all decided to start with the team's weak point in order to defeat the undefeated group.
And the weak point they had in mind was Luo Qianlin.
When the protagonists realized Luo Qianlin was missing, they rushed to the scene, only to find an utterly ridiculous sight.
The once-arrogant instance bosses were now sprawled on the ground, dejected, while Luo Qianlin, the one responsible for it all, merely said, "What's wrong with you bosses?"
"Who told you to kidnap the passerby A? Don't randomly give passerby characters more screen time. You're supposed to make the protagonist look good. Start over and do your jobs properly."
The helplessly beaten bosses: QAQ You call this guy an utterly ordinary passerby A?
.
There was one more person on Luo Qianlin's team whom the System hadn't introduced.
Luo Qianlin thought he was the same kind of person, so he went to Gu Yunshu and asked, "Are you passerby B?"
Gu Yunshu, not understanding the question, shook his head and quietly said, "Actually, I'm a protagonist too~"
Luo Qianlin: What kind of protagonist are you?
Gu Yunshu: I'm a fragile and innocent protagonist from a 1v1 romance about pursuing your wife after upsetting her.
As he spoke, he lured a huge horde of pursuing monsters into a trap and wiped them all out without breaking a sweat.
Luo Qianlin: ?
.
The exhausted System still couldn't understand why Luo Qianlin thought he was an ordinary person when he was surrounded by protagonists.
System: You're the protagonist of a proper face-slapping power fantasy! Get to work!
Reader's Guide:
1. 1v1 romance. Gu Yunshu is a green-tea top who pretends to be frail and loves acting pitiful x Luo Qianlin is an honest, straightforward bottom, seemingly ordinary but actually a true powerhouse.
2. The bottom thinks he's a passerby A throughout the early part of the story, so he's mild-mannered and straightforward, with few major emotional swings. The top really is a green tea, all sweet talk and coy behavior, practically a green tea spirit incarnate.
3. The protagonist group are all stunning beauties. They're all powerful, but their personalities and different wavelengths mean they'll need time to adjust to one another.
4. There are secondary couples, and no one in the protagonist group is single.
Theme: Even an utterly ordinary person can make a big difference.
