Background
Ren Suo begins as an unambitious gamer whose life changes when the Little World Game Console starts reflecting equipped game abilities onto his real body. Its early interface limits him to one Ability Slot, Item Slot, and Backup Slot, forcing him to choose between powers such as Introduction to Fighting and Good Dream Art. 14
A reward from the console improves his physical condition, and he later attends a National Security Bureau interview with Li Qingxuan. 19 After acquiring the Goddess of the Luo River Jade Pendant and awakening a healing ability, he saves a railway police officer and is assigned to the Countermeasures Bureau's Team Three. 66 70
His surname is connected by historical researchers to the mysterious Luoyang Ren Family, a village of Ren-surnamed cultivators associated with divination, astronomy, geography, healing, and combat. One recorded branch is the Fofeng Ren Family, Ren Suo's hometown family. 68 69
Appearance
Ren Suo is of medium build with a somewhat neutral-looking face and ordinarily keeps a shallow, professional smile. He is normally low-maintenance, having once favored slippers, short hair, and sleeping longer over grooming. 604 733
- Can substantially alter his body through Different Life, including changing sex and transforming into people he knows. 681 720
- Uses disguises and cross-dressing when testing conspicuous powers or concealing ties to the Gatekeeper persona. 486 735
- Often wears casual clothing, but can deliberately adopt a refined or dignified appearance when a character tag or public setting demands it. 447 604
Personality
Ren Suo is fundamentally pleasure-seeking, safety-conscious, and reluctant to involve himself in danger. His personal rule is to avoid dangerous places, dangerous people, and dangerous matters whenever possible. 629 681 He prefers games, sleep, and small comforts to public responsibility, and initially regards cultivation and work as interruptions to that lifestyle. 353 635
Despite this avoidance, he repeatedly helps people when they are in immediate danger. He saves the railway officer after awakening, heals Yu Kuangtu from Qi Vortex exhaustion, and risks himself to protect Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu during a staged attack. 70 293 320
He is unusually accepting of other people's passions and eccentric hobbies, believing that people who pursue what they love despite others' judgment are “cool.” 353 He is also strict about promises: when he makes one after careful consideration, he does not intend to break it. 542
During the Gate of Truth arc, Ren Suo temporarily embraces “absolute rationality,” selling emotions and treating relationships as resources for Truth Points. He ultimately rejects the loss of his sensibility and rationality, choosing his loved ones and personal freedom over perfect authority. 742 769 779
