Wait! Am I Not an Ordinary Person?

Pei Yuanqing was one of the many people of Tongcheng. He came from an ordinary family, lived an ordinary life, and went through the same routine day after day. It was a little boring at times, but for the most part, life was warm and happy. Then one day, outsiders began appearing in Tongcheng with increasing frequency. They dressed strangely, had different hairstyles, and every so often one of them even had brightly dyed hair. They were always on edge, poring over the notices posted at the city gate and muttering about "rules" and "forums." Whenever they heard his name, they looked utterly astonished. They also seemed to love saying to him, "If the first number in a sequence is odd, the next is even." Every so often, one of the more hot-tempered ones would try to beat him up when he didn't respond, only to die for no apparent reason. Pei Yuanqing: Good grief! There's no end of weirdos every year, but this year there's more than ever. * The Abyss's End is a wildly popular full-immersion horror mystery game. On the first day it went live, players' accounts were locked, trapping them inside the game. Death in the game meant death in real life. The forum said the game's ultimate boss was named Pei Yuanqing, and the only way to leave the game was to exchange a secret code with him. The code was the well-known mnemonic for the trigonometric reduction formulas. However, every single person who tried the code was rejected and met a gruesome death. Pei Yuanqing's name became every player's nightmare. --Next novel: The Fake Young Master Grew Wings and Flew Away-- In a melodramatic novel, there was a foolish villain who was a fake young master. He thought he was clever, resorting to every means to seize the family fortune, and even ridiculously tried to seduce the real young master's classmate. In the end, everyone had seen through his plans from the start. They all treated him like a clown, watching him bring about his own ruin. The fake young master was kicked out with nothing and locked up in a psychiatric hospital. The night he arrived, he killed himself. The second before, Zhao Huaizhi had been in the midst of a battle between immortals and demons. The next, before the arrows could pierce his heart, he had become the fake young master who was about to be locked up in a psychiatric hospital. Outside the hospital, his wealthy older brother, who had come to see him off, said with an air of superiority, "This is where you'll be living for the rest of your life. You've been fighting for so long. You must be tired. Rest well here." At the word "rest," Zhao Huaizhi looked up. His wealthy older brother gave a mocking laugh. "From now on, all you'll have to do is eat and sleep. You won't have to worry about anything else for the rest of your life." Zhao Huaizhi, who had been crushed by fate since birth and had never enjoyed a single peaceful night's sleep: "Seriously? I only have to eat and sleep every day? There's really a deal like that?" His wealthy older brother: "?" * After Zhao Huaizhi arrived, the world began to change. A psychiatric hospital tainted by corruption, a string of serial murders, an old residential neighborhood plagued by ghost sightings, a mermaid appearing in an aquarium... The fabled apocalypse seemed to be drawing near. By the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-rise, the wealthy family that had driven Zhao Huaizhi away gathered together. Holding a glass of red wine, the older brother asked his assistant in an unhurried voice, "How's the one in the psychiatric hospital? Has he learned his lesson?" The assistant replied deferentially, "He suddenly grew wings, awakened his magic, and went off to save the world." The wealthy family: "???" Theme: Holding on to one's ideals
