The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 69 Departure, The Next World

Upon hearing Pollard's name, Hankla hesitated for a moment: "Is it Pollard Men? I know him, we get along very well! If it really is him, please have him come over, he can vouch for my character."

Ankadis lowered his eyelids and glanced at Hankla.

Maria Elisa readily summoned Pollard.

Upon receiving the message, Pollalid quickly arrived.

Seeing Hankla lying on the ground groaning in pain, Pollalid was not surprised at all, but he didn't know whether Maria Elisa or Ancadis had hit Hankla.

"What do you want from me?" Pollalid turned his attention away from Hankla and asked Maria Elisa instead.

“Oh, it’s like this, this guy said he was tricked into coming here, and he kept saying you could vouch for his character,” Maria Elisa said with a shrug. “So I called you over.”

When Hankla saw Pollard arrive, he scurried towards him like a caterpillar, crying, "Pollard! Help me! I didn't want to come here, they tricked me! If I had known what this place was for..."

“You will still come.” Pollalid blurted out these words out of the blue.

"What?" Hankel was stunned, not hearing the answer she wanted.

“I heard everything you said.” Pollalid approached Hankla, squatted down and spoke to him. “You’re lying to me, Hankla. You’re just like those people.”

“No, no, no! Listen to me! Forgive me for what I said…” Hankel’s tone was urgent, whether from fear or anger, it was hard to tell. “I didn’t know what this place was for, I thought it was just a simple entertainment venue! I…”

"Just an entertainment venue? Is that what the person who brought you here told you?" Pollalid asked.

Hankel saw a glimmer of hope and quickly said, "Yes, that's exactly what he told me."

“Okay, since you don’t know, what about what you told me before?” Pollalid asked.

"Words? What words?" Hankel looked somewhat confused.

Pollalid was furious to see Hankla like this: "You told me that if anyone dared to insult your people to their faces, you would fight them to the death!"

Hearing this, Hankla's eyes widened. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but could only see Pollard's back as he turned and walked away.

"Are you done talking? I have something to tell you. Do you want to hear it?" Maria Elisa saw Pollalid come out and tried to stir something else in Pollalid's heart.

"Okay, that's all—is there any news you want to tell me?" Upon seeing Maria Elisa, Pollard composed himself.

Maria Elisa glanced at the ceiling and said, "I saw you look a lot like someone I know, so I took a hair from you and did a DNA test—and that's how I found your real father."

Pollalid was stunned by Maria Elisa's words—when did Maria Elisa take his hair for testing?

Seeing that Pollalid on the other side did not react for a long time, Maria Elisa tentatively waved in front of him again.

Pollalid realized what was happening and, somewhat nervously, asked Maria Elisa if she had gone to see her biological father.

After confirming that there was no father, Pollalid shook his head, refusing to let Maria Elisa tell him who his biological father was.

“I’m fine as I am now. Since I don’t know what the consequences would be if I acknowledged that biological father, I might as well stay the way I am.” Pollalid explained why she didn’t want to find her biological father.

Hearing this, Maria Elisa didn't say anything—after all, if she knew that her biological father was that guy Hewlett-Packard, she would regret acknowledging him as her father.

The mission was complete, and Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM, having watched the spectacle, decided to leave.

Before leaving, Maria Elisa stopped Lu Renkui and said she wanted to talk to her.

Lu Renkui originally thought Maria Elisa wanted to ask what the world of two genders was like, but unexpectedly Maria Elisa asked: "What did you study? I haven't seen any relevant literature on dealing with these sex workers before. Do you have any reasonable ways to deal with them?"

“Hmm, let me think about this.” Lu Renkui began to consider the documents he had read before. “First, we should investigate their level of education. For those with low levels of education, we should first teach them to read and write.”

"Their psychology and thinking will inevitably become somewhat distorted due to prolonged exposure to this environment, and they need professional psychologists to help them resolve their psychological issues. In terms of ideology, they must be made to realize that prostitution is unacceptable. If their mindset is not fundamentally corrected, they may continue to engage in the sex industry in the future."

"We also need to make them realize the importance of labor, and then teach them some skills to make a living."

"Ask them again if they want to go home, and send those who want to go home."

"That's all I can think of for now," Lu Renkui said.

“Okay, thank you for all of this. I think that’s enough,” Maria Elisa said with a smile.

"Then we're off! Good luck!" Lu Renkui waved his hand, indicating to the system WQBYRZM that the two of them had finished speaking.

Lu Renkui closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was back in his own consciousness space.

"Let's see what the next mission the main system has assigned us is..." System WQBYRZM looked at the message sent by the main system, "This time we're going to a Western fantasy world."

"However, this time our identity is a bit special—our background character is quite powerful, and our name appears multiple times in the article."

"His name appears multiple times, yet he's just a background character?" Lu Renkui clearly didn't believe it.

"He was indeed just a background character, only mentioned in other people's conversations. They only said how amazing and handsome he was, used as a contrast to the male lead. He only got more screen time later on, but being a background character in the early stages still counts, and besides, his ending was quite tragic," said System WQBYRZM. "What we need to do is help him escape the forced love plot."

"Wait, wait ...

"Oh, no, the main system sent me the 'trash-to-riches' story, and it also sent me why the recorder of this plot wrote it this way." System WQBYRZM looked at the inside scoop sent by the main system and gave me the look of an old man on the subway looking at his phone. "The recorder of this plot is a man. At first, he wasn't in a relationship, so he wrote about how awesome the male protagonist was without restraint, and then he started building a harem. Later, he got into a relationship, and his girlfriend found out about his writing. She thought he might be having an affair, so she angrily said she wanted to break up with him."

"The male author even ran away and stopped updating in order to win back his girlfriend. However, this article was extremely popular on a platform in that world. The platform did not want to give up the traffic of this article, so they found a female author to ghostwrite it."

"That female author's sexual fetishes are four kinds of love and forced love."

"Ah, ah?" Upon hearing this, Lu Renkui realized that something was not quite right.

"The female author is somewhat dedicated, but not much. In order to connect with the previous text, she read the entire article. However, she doesn't like the male lead's character design; she prefers the character design of the background character we're about to wear."

"So she unceremoniously repurposed the male lead's original harem into this background and added her own sexual fetishes to it."

"what?"

"And so, this background character was forcibly involved with the male protagonist's harem—he was forced into it."

"Wow... what an amazing plot! Don't tell me this is the most likely outcome." Lu Renkui rubbed his head, suddenly realizing something. "And, this time we're going to be dressed as men?!"

"First of all, this is the most likely outcome—although the article seems utterly absurd." After reading this rumor, System WQBYRZ still had a furrowed brow, and the expression on its face, like that of an old man on the subway looking at his phone, hadn't disappeared.

"Also, because I am the Super Passerby System, we will become background characters for everyone, regardless of whether the person is male or female, or from which plot they will have more screen time."
