“Get fucking lost! Whining and nagging just because I took a bit of money from you, do you think people actually care about your little bit of money?!” The big guy blocking in front of Wen ZhiChu said as he stuffed the stolen 30 dollars into the pocket of his school uniform.
Verbally he said he didn’t want it, but his body was very honest.
Backed up into a corner, Wen ZhiChu flinched away as he stared yearningly at the 30 dollars stolen from him. That was the money he saved after skipping lunch for two days. The money that he was going to use to buy his cousin a birthday present.
Seeing the amount, the skinny guy next to the big guy was somewhat unsatisfied: “Damn, why do you only have this little money? Is it alms to get rid of beggars?!”
Wen ZhiChu: “En.”
The skinny guy’s dry coarse face twisted: “What did you say?! ”
Wen ZhiChu hastily shook his head in fear: “Nothi……”
The big guy glanced at Wen ZhiChu up and down and then reached out to pat him on the cheek: “Consider yourself lucky today. Next time bring some more money for bro, understand?”
Wen ZhiChu twisted his school uniform tightly in his hands, the material full of wrinkles from his grip: “Your conduct is not right. This is school violence!”
“You…… You……” His heart pounded apprehensively in his chest: “Aren’t you afraid I will tell the teacher?!”
As soon as he said these words, the two people started laughing like they heard some hilarious joke.
The mocking laughter of ridicule exploded in the quiet equipment room, spreading wildly into every corner.
The big guy laughed so hard his face hurt: “Just you?”
This derisive questioning stepped brutally on Wen ZhiChu’s self-esteem.
He gritted his teeth and puffed out his thin, frail chest: “Yes me.”
The big guy scoffed: “Do you even dare?”
It could even be said that he didn’t take Wen ZhiChu’s threat seriously at all. After saying this, he patted Wen ZhiChu on the cheek once again.
He didn’t use a lot of force, but the crisp slapping sound was very clear and distinct, ear piercing.
“Same time tomorrow. Bring me 500 yuan. Don’t forget.” After saying this, he turned around and planned to leave with the skinny guy.
Wen ZhiChu stood in place, both hands clenched into fists, his frail chest heaving up and down.
Such bullies!
They were clearly similar in age. If they didn’t have that, how could he?
Asking for 500 just like that!!!
He knew that he had an inarticulate and cowardly personality, but even a rabbit will bite when anxious!
Wen ZhiChu straightened his originally bowed spine: “Wait a second!”
The summer was blistering hot. The big guy in the front took off his school jacket and revealed his excessively muscular arms: “What?”
Wen ZhiChu gathered his courage: “…… There’s a doorstep ahead, remember to lift your feet.”
“……”
The big guy: “I’m not fucking blind.”
Although it wasn’t very concerning, Wen ZhiChu’s recent words still created a sense of apprehension. Following next to the big guy, the skinny guy said: “Let’s rob the fat kid from Second Class tomorrow.”
The big guy had a puzzled look: “Why?”
“Are you really not afraid he will tell the teacher?”
“Just him?” There was another mocking scoff: “A whiny and girly coward like him? Even if I lend him some guts, he still wouldn’t dare.”
The two people’s footsteps gradually drifted further and further away; however, the sound of ridicule and mockery continued to repeat in Wen ZhiChu’s head like a single track.
Without the campus bullies, the after-school equipment room became a lot quieter.
After some time passed, a feeble and abrupt voice spoke within this silence.

“I’m not a coward……”

Currently he’s living temporarily in his paternal aunt’s house. Today was his cousin’s birthday so naturally he needed to do something for it. Yet just now, the money that he had saved to buy his cousin a birthday present was robbed.
Wen ZhiChu stood in front of the intersection in distress, temporarily not even knowing how to return home.
A dramatic voice suddenly spoke up next to him. The childish voice carried a hint of outrage: “What? He actually has the guts to steal my woman?!”
“What do we do, boss?!”
“He actually has the guts to pass notes to Zhang JiaNing? Let’s go. We’re going to find him right now!”
“Boss, don’t get worked up.”
Unexpectedly, the elementary student raised his hand dismissively: “I’ve already blackened.”
“……”
Wen ZhiChu silently turned his head, observing the elementary student’s dog blooded love drama.
He shook his head.
Such a young age and already learning to get into fights for love.
Who knew that as soon as these two elementary students finished blackening, they immediately went to cross the street.
With a twitch of his brow, Wen ZhiChu stepped forth almost instinctively to stop them: “It’s red light right now.”
His voice wasn’t very loud. It can even be called a very gentle persuasion.
However, the two elementary students were clearly somewhat displeased at having their path blocked in such a preaching manner: “What do you know!”
A question mark slowly appeared over Wen ZhiChu’s head.
The elementary student that was called ‘Boss’: “All heroes are rebels!”
“……”
As he said this, he suddenly slipped out under Wen ZhiChu’s arms while he’s not paying attention.
“Hey!” Wen ZhiChu hastily turned around in fright to look. Unexpectedly, the other elementary student also seized the opportunity as he turned to escape.
“Come back!” For a moment, Wen ZhiChu was somewhat flustered. He wanted to reach out and grab the closest kid; however, his hand only brushed past the other’s Ultraman print bookbag.
The red light dangling high above was eye piercing. The cars on the street passed by speedily. A child wearing a bookbag suddenly dashed out onto the street, catching the drivers completely off guard.
Two small figures could be seen darting around on the road, a nail-biting and scalp numbing sight.
“Who……whose kids ran onto the road!!”
The people on the side of the street noticed and shouted loudly. Immediately afterwards, there was an ear-piercing screech.
A van loaded with items was seen speeding uncontrollably towards the two elementary students. Because they had suddenly jumped out, it was already too late to brake.
Wen ZhiChu’s pupils constricted. The honking and shrill voices of people nearby exploded inside his head.
You, you can't…..
It’s unknown if this ‘you can’t’ was for the elementary students on the road or for himself.
Contradicting thoughts raged relentlessly inside his heart. The red-light signal continued to flash, but he felt like this moment was slowed down endlessly. He didn’t know how long it actually took him to contemplate over this in the end before he charged out, swiftly like the wind.
The reflection of the red light flashed across the youth’s jade-like face.
“Hey student! Come back! Quick, come back!”
The person behind him shouted something, but Wen ZhiChu could no longer hear it clearly anymore. The youth headed towards the light of the setting sun, his hair fluttering in the wind, the view of his back determined.
His legs didn’t seem to soften in fear like he had imagined.
But do you want to ask him if he felt afraid?
Wen ZhiChu can say with great certainty,
He was fucking terrified!!!
This dash probably exhausted his entire lifetime of courage.
The ear-piercing sound of the car brakes as the tires dragged against the ground, the horrified screams of people in alarm, as well as the nearby wail of a child.
When Wen ZhiChu fell to the ground, he could no longer hear anything. Fresh blood emerged from the youth’s school uniform, which had been washed until it was faded white. It spread continuously until the flimsy material of the cloth could no longer withstand the dark red penetration. The blood poured out further and landed on the asphalt road, turning black.
Body numb from the pain, Wen ZhiChu was unable to move or shout. His eyes were clearly open, yet everything was pitch black. He was also unable to see anything.
If he could see, he would know that what he considered to be a very long and endless contemplation, actually only lasted one second.
Did he also count as a hero now, for once?
He was just saying… that he wasn’t a coward.
The youth only felt less and less air in his lungs. Even taking a breath caused excruciating pain.
Ultimately unable to endure such tortuous hell-like pain, the youth closed his eyes.
Wen ZhiChu, you’re super brave……
[Today, a traffic accident occurred on the streets of our city. Two elementary students ran the red light without any regards for safety, almost getting struck by cars. At the last moment, they were rescued by a high school student on the side of the road.]
[The student rescuer, Wen ZhiChu, died on the spot.]
Wen ZhiChu opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling above his head, and blinked twice.
Was this heaven?
Heaven’s interior design didn’t seem to be that impressive. This wall was even peeling.
A mechanical sound suddenly spoke up in his head. [This is not Heaven.]
Wen ZhiChu, who was originally attempting to move his body, froze instantly.
Wall peeling also occurs in Hell?!
No, that’s not the focus here. The focus is that he saved people and still ended up in Hell!
[System: This is also not Hell.]
In shock, Wen ZhiChu sat up abruptly in bed: “Who, who’s talking?!”
[System: Me.]
Wen ZhiChu looked around in all directions. There was not even half a person next to him.
But good thing there wasn’t, because half a person might scare him to death.
Rolling and hopping up from the bed like a little pig, Wen ZhiChu swallowed his saliva and, with a bit of trepidation, started searching for the second person in the room.
Under the blankets, behind the door. After searching around to no avail, he then glanced at the trashcan.
[System: ……]
Seeing no one else, Wen ZhiChu heaved a sigh of relief again and sat back on the bed. So he had just been hallucinating.
[System: You’re not hallucinating. I am talking here.]
Wen ZhiChu froze briefly, and then his expression changed abruptly: “A head concussion!”
[System: Like hell, a head concussion! I’m the System.]
To prevent the youth from opening his mouth and offending it again, the System simply started to give a full introduction of itself.
[System: I am the system bound to you in this world. You have already died in your original world. Seeing how pitiful you were, the Main God selected you to come here and complete missions.]
In addition to being extremely surprised, Wen ZhiChu did not forget to voice his confusion: “What missions?”
[System: The villain’s missions. Right now, you’re the villain of this world. All you need to do is to dash wildly on the road of causing trouble for the main protagonist. You’re the stumbling block on the protagonist’s path to success, the screw that turns the progression of the story plot, destined to be crushed brutally under the protagonist’s feet by the conclusion of the story to live a…….]
Wen ZhiChu raised his hand and interrupted: “I have a question.”
[System: What question?]
Wen ZhiChu said earnestly: “Are you sure the Main God thought I was pitiful, not detestable?”
[……]
[System: These are not important. What’s important is that you need to complete the villain’s missions and then accept the ending of sleeping on the streets.]
Wen ZhiChu, who’s been told by his mom since young that he had a delicate body and couldn’t sleep on the streets: !
“Then……then I’m not doing these villain’s missions.”
[System: Then your money will be deducted, and you will be sleeping on the street even earlier.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
No matter what, sleeping on the streets is still the result; it is only a matter of time.
As soon as the System’s mechanical voice stopped talking, memories that did not belong to himself flowed into his head.
He transmigrated into the villain of this book who had the same name as him. Because the campus beauty that he secretly crushed on liked the main character Qin JiaShu, every day he schemed against the protagonist and created trouble for the protagonist.
At the beginning, the villain’s family had won the lottery and became nouveau riche. The family spent a lot of money for him to attend the best high school in the city. However, the family was nouveau riche so the villain frequently acted like a snob, looking down on students who study, despite not studying himself. Ill-tempered, gloomy, and vulgar, he always repeated the same words: “So what if you study well, you’ll still have to work for my dad in the future.”
It can be said that he embodied the word despicable to the fullest extent, vividly. However, just half a year ago, his parents died in an airplane accident. A large portion of the money was to pay off debts. The small portion of money remaining was also used up completely a week prior.
Wen ZhiChu got up and walked around this house. The living room was piled with garbage. There were also plenty of rancid smelling instant noodle bowls on the coffee table.
At this moment, he was absolutely penniless.
Already in ruins right at the start.
[System: Young man, are you ready to accept the mission?]
Wen ZhiChu inquired cautiously: “Can I undo the binding?”
[System: No! I suggest you take back that kind of dangerous thinking as soon as possible.]
Wen ZhiChu sat on the sofa rather despondently, hands clenched together tightly, the worry and anxiety in his heart magnifying infinitely. This strange place, this unfamiliar life… really made him feel quite terrified.
“Ai……”
[System: Such a young age, what’s there to sigh about?]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
[System: Other hosts always give their system a nice name. Right now, I will share this privileged honor with you.]
Without thinking, Wen ZhiChu: “Brain concussion.”
[System: …… Rude?]
Immediately afterwards, the System calmed down.
[System: I will generously give you another chance. Hope you will cherish it.]
Unable to think of anything, Wen ZhiChu asked for the other’s opinion: “What kind of name do you want?”
[System: The international kind that no one can resist saying it a few times upon hearing it. You can also pretend I am your close friend, the one that you chatted with the most often in the past. These are all sources of inspiration for the name you will give to me. However, it’s most important to not forget the original intention, which is to be both fashionable and considerate.]
Wen ZhiChu fell silent for a while. Then a name jumped out of his mouth.
“Skycat Genie.”
Yay, new novel! Thanks for the translation, Infinite!
Hope you will like it 🙂
Yay!!! This got picked up, rejoice!

No money, no family, in a whole new world. What will our MC do?
Ooooh so good ! Love the beginning. Thanks for translating
Tis a cute and funny novel~
That is not a reward for sure 😂 Interesting start, let’s see what will happen next! σ(≧ε≦ｏ) Thank You for translating this novel and sharing it with us! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ) I was sure that You will begin after our sneaku boi and his shizun end together, so I’m surprised, haha~ 🤭
Snek boy and shizun did end up together~ I’m done translating that. It just didn’t finish posting yet haha.
And that’s take me by surprise! Now I have 3 books from You thanks to that 😂

He’s already broke where would they deduct the money from if he refuse the system?LOL..
lmao the author’s little inner conflict over skycat genie xD thank you for explaining that was so funny
Thank you so much for your hard work!Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ
what kind of setup is this, Skycat Genie?! ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)
This has to be the best truck-kun isekai I’ve ever read. Most people just skip over it with a few words but this was pretty intense.
While reading the TN I can definitely feel the author’s struggles with naming the system. Fighting author! It’s okay to give up with naming. It be like that sometimes.
Thank you translator for another great choice!
😍😁
his only being friend being siri- i- same brother
Translator Sama: “The literal translation here is ‘You’re the head concussion!” to be followed usually by ‘your entire family is a head concussion’ but that doesn’t really make sense”
Actually it perfectly makes sense. One just needs to be enough Asian to comprehend
Skycat genie is such a nice name! It can be said smoothly and sounds cool as well.
hello again, hanji!
thanks for the chapter!
