Baili Pangpang

Biodata

Background / History

Arrival in Cangnan

Baili Pangpang arrives in Cangnan on vacation, accompanied by dozens of bodyguards carrying suitcases. Wang Quan and Lin Qiye meet him at the airport, where his supposed “local specialties” turn out to be gold bars and luxury watches. He immediately treats Lin Qiye as a friend, fastening a green Rolex Submariner onto his wrist and offering him a luxury car 14 15.

His father has paid Wang Quan one hundred million yuan to protect him. With a bounty of several hundred million on Pangpang’s head, mercenaries attack their Maybach with a rocket. Wang Quan saves him, eliminates the attackers, and warns other would-be assassins against targeting his client 15 16 17.

At Hongying’s villa, Pangpang mistakes her hospitality toward Wang Quan for evidence that they are married. He offers her a suitcase of gold as a wedding gift, then continues calling her “sister-in-law” despite their denials 16.

Mountain Training

Concerned that Pangpang cannot even run effectively from an assassin, Wang Quan orders him into special training alongside Lin Qiye and forbids the use of Forbidden Items. Their task is to climb a steep mountain together before dark 17.

When a Lamp Realm Blood Wolf attacks, Pangpang drives his saber into its chest while it is biting Lin Qiye’s arm. After they kill it together, he tears a strip from his shirt to bandage Lin Qiye’s wound 18.

The exercise escalates into an uphill escape from a wolf pack under crushing pressure. Unable to stand, Pangpang urges Lin Qiye to leave him behind, but Lin Qiye returns and helps him continue. Pangpang eventually loses consciousness just over a hundred meters from the summit; Lin Qiye carries him through the final stretch using [Starry Night Dancer] 18 19.

Recruit Camp and the Mask Exercise

Pangpang enters the 039 New Recruit Training Base with Lin Qiye, bringing gold and watches to make friends rather than packing everyday necessities. After expecting his family to deliver bedding and toiletries, he collects supplies himself when Lin Qiye warns that special treatment could provoke harsher training 30 31 32.

During the recruits’ battle against Mask, he joins Lin Qiye, Molly, and Shen Qingzhu. His Forbidden Items protect him from Moon Ghost’s ambush and help the group overload Vortex’s absorption ability. He later rescues Molly from another attack and engages Tian Ping while Lin Qiye pursues Wang Mian 40 41 44.

Pangpang also supplies the [Scroll of Sealing] used by Lin Qiye against Wang Mian’s saber, Yiyuan. Like the other combatants, he eventually stops fighting to watch the captains’ duel 44 45.

Thunder Tiger Training

Pangpang credits Wang Quan’s month of preliminary training with helping him avoid late-arrival punishment, though Lin Qiye argues that laziness—not stamina—is now his main problem 48.

When a Thunder Tiger threatens fallen recruits, Pangpang and Molly distract it while Lin Qiye helps Shen Qingzhu. Pangpang shields Molly from the tiger’s blow, suffering severe wounds across his back. Molly takes his hand to escort him to the infirmary, but Wang Quan heals him on the spot and resumes training 49 50.

Appearance

• Build: Chubby, with a round face and an innocent smile compared to a laughing Buddha 14 15.
• Casual clothing: Loose casual clothes at his airport arrival 14.
• Sleepwear: Gold-threaded pajamas 17.
• Training clothing: Military uniform while attending recruit camp 35 49.
• Accessory: Wears the [Yao Guang] necklace on his chest 40.

Personality

Pangpang is sincerely generous and eager to make friends. He treats expensive gifts as ordinary introductions, interpreting Lin Qiye’s stunned silence as dissatisfaction rather than shock. Despite his wealth and pampered upbringing, Lin Qiye finds him free of the arrogance associated with powerful families 15 17.

He loves comfort, sleeps heavily, complains about exertion, and readily looks for ways to avoid inconvenience. He offers Wang Quan a gold Rolex rather than getting out of bed and later jokes that Lin Qiye provides a punctual wake-up service. His attempts to conceal his background are unconvincing: he calls his family’s business small while distributing luxury goods 15 17 35 48.

Fear does not prevent him from helping others. He attacks the Blood Wolf to save Lin Qiye and takes a serious injury protecting Molly. His affection can also become possessive: seeing Cao Yuan’s devotion to Lin Qiye, he angrily insists that he is Lin Qiye’s best friend 18 42 43 49.
