I recently bought this expensive laptop. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YPXX5YK/

So I want to keep this in the safest way possible. Accidentally dropping it is perhaps the biggest risk.

I don't care about "aesthetics" so I am perfectly fine if the laptop looks ugly after surrounding it with lots of protections.

What will be the best choice?

I am thinking of buying (1) Case and (2) Screen protector. Is there anything else I have to buy? And for (1) and (2) (and something else), what will be the strongest protection?
 
And what I am talking about is not "anti-glare" or "eye protection" thing. That doesn't hurt. But I am looking for "physical" protection for the laptop so that it doesn't break easily even if I mistakenly drop it.
 
And is there something to cover around even when the laptop is being used on my desk? So far I have found only the cases that can be used when the laptop is closed.

You got a GTX 1650 laptop for $1600? Bit steep isn't it?

Don't bother with a case they just add bulk and don't do much anyway. Remember laptops aren't phones they're heavy.
 
If you are looking for a cover for your laptop, those are pretty much made for specific models since the shape of the laptop and cut out for ports and vents will need to be customized. The protector can prevent your case from getting damaged but it won't do much for the shock that the internal components or screen will take when dropped. You will need to do a web search and see if anyone makes a shell for your model.

Shock Cases are hard to find for Laptops. They have them, but not really for gaming laptops. Your best option is to follow best practices and if the laptop is not in use then have it in a laptop bag as they are padded. This is the one I use:

If you really want something to protect your laptop when it does drop you might need to be a bit ghetto as I cannot find something that will fit your laptop. I'm Thinking you can go over and get a gumdrop case for another laptop and get it to stick on your current one. The main part is having the bumpers on the 4 corners. However you choose to do it is up to you, I cannot promise much on this as I never tried

For your keyboard cover it looks like you can use this to cover it up for any spills:
