The Villain's Attack PlanCh29 - Collecting Junks and Scraps

Seeing the other charging over angrily, Wen ZhiChu backed up two steps in fear and explained: “I said…I said it, but you didn’t listen.”

Shen Jun glowered at him: “Blaming me?” IwRYvN

Looking at Shen Jun, who seemed to have received quite a psychological blow, Wen ZhiChu shook his head kindly: “Not…not blaming you.”

Hearing this, Shen Jun finally felt a lot better.

However, the next second, he saw the cowardly little stutterer point his finger in the direction of the bathroom: “Blaming him.”

Shen Jun: “…….” hL OEi

His self-respect instantly shattered into pieces all over the ground; might as well blame him.

To Shen Jun, this day has practically been a catastrophy. First, he bumped into a detested homosexual, then he performed poorly during the debate tournament. Originally, he had planned to make fun of Qin JiaShu; who’d have expected he had only ended up far worse.

Seeing Shen Jun over here trying to avoid a mental breakdown, Skycat Genie actually felt somewhat sympathetic towards him for a moment.

[System: Perhaps God is fair after all?]

nzWMf

Wen ZhiChu: ?

[System: Didn’t give him a good brain, but gave him a good dad instead.]

Wen ZhiChu had a very special train of thought: “Are you saying I’m smart?!”

Skycat Genie refuted: [Hey, this little student over here, can you please not fill in the blanks on your own?] 0UVk8z

Wen ZhiChu pursed his lips, as if somewhat feeling the injustice: “Then what did God give me?”

He suddenly heard the mechanical voice in his head carry on a tone of bashfulness.

[System: A good system.]

“……” Wen ZhiChu: “Can I refuse?” dwmoHT

[System: This is your blessing!!!!]

Wen ZhiChu turned his head and mumbled: “Would you accept this blessing if it were given to you?”

[……]

Then Skycat Genie suddenly thought of something and continued to ask. etGApN

[System: You saw it clearly as well, so how come you didn’t act like him?]

Wen ZhiChu, bewildered: “Act like what?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

[System: Inhuman.]

Wen ZhiChu laughed without a care in the world, his tone lackadaisical: “Qin JiaShu is the protagonist. He must have a protagonist halo, so of course he must to be bigger there than other people. It’s completely normal.” xWRFzS

Skycat Genie said menacingly.

[System: He received 2nd place during the Provincial Essay Contest.]

Instantly, an alarm sounded in Wen ZhiChu’s heart: “What are you trying to say?”

[System: The protagonist halo doesn’t seem to work on him.] EGaOQz

Stunned, Wen ZhiChu instantly joined Shen Jun.

Hence forth, another inconsolable person appeared in this world.

Although he sounded nonchalant, secretly, he was part of the group that cared.

So it turns out, he and Shen Jun were both people forsaken by God. seKEFj

[System: Not exactly. Compared to you, he still has an OP dad.]

“……”

Such simple words, yet filled with ridicule.

For a second, the two people stood in front of the door in anguish and defeat. GwHlVz

Qin JiaShu, who completed his phone call and came out of the bathroom to see this scene: ……

Recalling the utterly unfathomable event that occurred in the bathroom, he instantly took a deep breath.

Wen ZhiChu: ???

He didn’t even say anything?

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

To avoid being attacked indiscriminately during Shen Jun’s moment of insanity, Wen ZhiChu also turned around and tried to leave.

“You’re also taunting me?!” mHzhuD

Wen ZhiChu’s face was filled with question marks. Did the back of his head look very similar to Qin JiaShu’s?

Shen Jun gritted his teeth: “Apart from that aspect, how am I inferior to him?!”

Wen ZhiChu examined him up and down for a second.

For a moment, the air was filled with a cursed silence. o1uaGC

Shen Jun stomped his foot: “Do I have no merit at all?”

Wen ZhiChu nodded, as if providing kindhearted charity: “You do…probably.”

This probably was really very hard-pressed.

“You have…… a District Mayor father.” XRB8Ki

Shen Jun: “……”

Seeing Shen Jun planning to argue relentlessly until he was satisfied, Wen ZhiChu slipped away as if the bottom of his soles were lathered in oil.


There was no evening self-study today. Before Wen ZhiChu returned home, he still had time to go to the market and buy some vegetables and fruits to store at home.

Carrying his backpack and walking out of the school campus, he inserted a coin and got on the bus. The summer at 4pm was bright and scorching hot. wEDPom

Wen ZhiChu got off the bus one stop ahead and went to the supermarket.

First, he went to the vegetable and fruit aisle. Paying the bill and getting ready to leave, he unconsciously glanced at the snack aisle nearby and swallowed his saliva.

Actually, he never liked eating snacks as a child, but sometimes when he wanted to have a taste, he’d also buy himself a little. Seeing the rainbow skittles on the shelf, for a moment, his mouth felt flavorless.

It’s been quite a while since he ate that. iXePWg

But right now, his funds were limited. Clenching his teeth together, Wen ZhiChu turned around and left.

After returning home, he started to check the things he bought today. Sorting out the vegetables, he suddenly discovered that he was missing something.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Garlic?

Where’s my garlic? Ro3CWl

Wen ZhiChu rummaged around the plastic bag holding the vegetables some more and discovered that the garlic he asked the supermarket lady pack was missing.

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Skycat Genie said in confusion: [Are you pretending to be a wooden puppet here?]

Wen ZhiChu: “No.”

[System: Then what’s wrong with you?] lyahH0

Wen ZhiChu: “I lost my garlic.”

[……]

Wen ZhiChu took out the receipt from his pocket and looked at it briefly. He discovered that there was no money for the garlic; he probably forgot to grab it.


The next morning, Wen ZhiChu headed to school. After the morning self-study, the first class was the homeroom teacher’s class. 5tdaP8

Dou-laoshi walked into the classroom with a book under his arm. As soon as he spoke, it was: “Everyone, stop what you’re doing. There’s something I want to tell you guys.”

Seeing the eyes of the students gathered on him, Dou-laoshi finally said: “Friday is the debate tournament between the neighboring District 6 and our school. Are there any students who want to go?”

There was complete silence below the podium.

“There’s a bus to take you there specifically. It’s free to watch and you won’t need to attend class.” BhEeA

At this time, a student asked: “Teacher.”

Dou-laoshi: “Speak.”

“You can say directly that Friday afternoon is a half-day.”

“……” RZYEPd

Very good. After being tricked once, they’re not falling for it again.

It can be said that these are promising kids truly worthy of being taught.

Dou-laoshi wasn’t too bothered and said with a smile: “You can register all the way up until Friday morning. Any students who want to go can come find me.”

Saying this, he started class. 0n3NIR

Wen ZhiChu didn’t really take this to heart. After all, if they could get a break, who’d go watch a debate?

This was clearly a lack of respect towards the half-day on Friday.

However, when Wen ZhiChu woke up on Friday and got out of bed, he received a randomly distributed villain’s mission.

[System: Villain’s Mission. Surprise the Protagonist. Completing the mission will reward 100 yuan. Villain’s score will increase 4%. Failing the mission will deduct 100 yuan.] CPosRQ

Wen – not respecting the break- ZhiChu: ……

Sure enough, he shouldn’t have raised the FLAG.

As soon as Dou-laoshi walked to the entrance of his office, he saw Wen ZhiChu waiting there.

“Oh, Wen ZhiChu, what’s the matter?” LgpSIN

Wen ZhiChu said, resigned to fate: “Teacher…. Ca-can I still sign up for the bus to see District 6’s debate tournament?”

Five minutes later, Wen ZhiChu walked out of the office hanging his head dispiritedly, already certain that this afternoon will involve a half-day trip to the neighboring District 6 High School.

Qin JiaShu and the school team have already left for the neighboring District 6 yesterday. So Wen ZhiChu wouldn’t be able to find him. If he wanted to complete the mission, he had to go as well.

However, how exactly was he going to surprise Qin JiaShu, Wen ZhiChu still hasn’t thought of a plan. DQUcjF

Until noon when it was almost time to get on the coach bus, he finally brought the thing that he borrowed and rushed over hastily.

When he got on, he discovered that there weren’t many people. But what made him feel surprised was that their English representative and Class 9’s Meng Yan was there.

The English representative sat in the back reading a book. To the right side, Meng Yan and her companion sat together. Wen ZhiChu looked around in this bus, besides himself and a young man snoring loudly and fast asleep, there wasn’t a 3rd male student.

Seeing this, Wen ZhiChu sat in the front row holding his bookbag. kuZx Q

Two hours later, they arrived at the neighboring District 6 High School. Wen ZhiChu looked around somewhat curious at the novelty. This was actually his first time going somewhere else after arriving in this world.

Seeing Wen ZhiChu’s curious gaze, Skycat Genie asked.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

[System: What are you doing?]

Wen ZhiChu: “Expanding my map.” XHJ9Dt

[……]

Very quickly, the YiZhong students walked into the school campus under the guidance of the teacher.

Perhaps because she didn’t know many people, the English representative proactively stepped forth to start a conversation.

“Why did you come?” dDYgdZ

Wen ZhiChu was somewhat surprised and pointed at himself: “M…Me?”

Who would have thought the other would start talking to him.

The English Representative: “Who else?”

Wen ZhiChu: “I just…just wanted to come look at another school.” wSXW7G

The English Representative was startled: “You were expelled?!”

Wen ZhiChu: ……

Now that’s not the case here.

Looking at his walking posture, the English Representative felt somewhat bewildered: “Why are you walking with your shoulders hunched?” zZ8PL3

Ever since the English teacher made her supervise Wen ZhiChu’s studies, she surprisingly discovered that the other had changed a lot from before. Not only in his walking posture; even his previous ostentatious personality had also become introverted.

Mulling over it, it might be because of the accident that occurred to the other’s family. Although she didn’t like him before, they’ve been getting along fairly well recently. The main reason was also out of sympathy for the other.

After hearing that, Wen ZhiChu was stunned slightly: “Ha…habit.”

The English Representative: “If you stand up straight, you should be 1.8 meters.” 3BqT x

To a male student, what could be more enticing in this world than a height of 1.8 meters.

However, Wen ZhiChu only straightened up slightly. After talking a few steps, he shrunk back down again.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The English Representative watched this. This was actually the first time she’s attentively examining Wen ZhiChu’s features.

The other’s looks seemed completely opposite of the previous negative impression he left behind on people. He can be considered very clean and pretty looking, filled with a youthful air. f8ojxb

As they walked down the path, the English Representative asked: “Do you think there’s anything different between District 6 and our school?”

“The birds…… are not as fat as our school’s birds.”

“…….” The English Representative: “What else?”

“They all seem to have partners.” Na6fYx

“……”

As they chatted idly, the two people very quickly reached the big hall where District 6 was conducting the debate tournament.

At this time, it was already filled with students. The teacher leading the way went to the side of the stage, telling them to find a place to sit.

Wen ZhiChu discovered there was still a spot in the front row. He very cautiously touched the English Representative’s shoulder: “Over there… you can go sit there.” mlJSDU

“You’re not going?”

Wen ZhiChu shook his head: “I…I’m going to the back row.”

He still had other things to do. Saying this, he turned around and headed to the back.

The debate tournament started very quickly. When District 6 appeared, the cheers were very loud. The momentum of the morale boost seemed to practically burst through the ceiling of the building. aGDr0u

After the introduction, there was a thunderous applause.

When it was YiZhong’s turn, it was not as enthusiastic. When YiZhong got on stage, although there were still students cheering them on, it was mainly girls with soft and next to nothing voices. Only one male student’s voice broke through the crowd. This person was the guy who was sleeping on the bus: “Jiang Yu, you better fcking win!!!”

Although Wen ZhiChu also yelled out, it was practically negligible compared to this bro.

The YiZhong students onstage all shot envious looks towards Jiang Yu in unison. whdy5o

Soon afterwards, YiZhong started their self-introduction. When Qin JiaShu’s introduction ended, Wen ZhiChu found the right opportunity. He pulled out the loudspeaker that he borrowed from the old grandpa downstairs and pressed play on the audio that was recorded this morning.

A voice instantly resounded throughout the hall.

“Qin JiaShu, do you best! Qin JiaShu, y-you..You’re the best!”

“You can do it! You can do it!” pTwsF9

For a moment, all eyes within the great hall gathered on the loudspeaker in the back row. Wen ZhiChu knew this would happen so he covered himself well with the hoodie of his sweatshirt and pulled the strings tight to isolate himself from the rest of the world.

However, out of humiliation, his face still burned incredibly hot like it was on fire.

However, he did not hear the sound of the mission being completed.

Qin JiaShu stood on stage. This time the looks of envy were gathered on him. However, he himself wasn’t affected. After all, he has seen crazier methods of cheering him on in the past. Therefore, he didn’t actually feel surprised. BHLWbd

His eyes looked towards the back, gazing at that tightly wrapped, unrecognizable braised egg, thinking about something unknown.

Seeing Wen ZhiChu still waiting, Skycat Genie said.

[System: Perhaps this is not very significant to the protagonist.]

Wen ZhiChu instantly stiffened. tIcqjk

Then doesn’t that mean he won’t be able to complete the mission?!

As the recording reached its end, Wen ZhiChu wanted to cry tearlessly; he had abandoned all hope.

“Qin JiaShu will definitely win!” The recording ended. The loudspeaker held on top of his head, however, continued to broadcast. This new voice was both refreshing, yet so god-damn familiar: “Collecting junks and scraps~ Junks and scraps for money~~~”

Wen ZhiChu: ! JfB04d

Literally “People who have fallen over the edge of the world” xD people who share the same misfortune

Translator's Note

This sentence sounds like he’s saying “I miscalculated.” It’s a word-pun to the meme “The risk I took was calculated, but boy, am I bad at math.”

Translator's Note

Suddenly the homeroom teacher has a surname!

Translator's Note

Aka jinxed himself

Translator's Note

Btw this is probably the guy that asked ChuChu to write that letter of challenge xD

Translator's Note

This is describing the image when you put on a hoodie and pull the strings tight, it looks like a boiled egg; braised egg is just a hard-boiled egg marinated in sauce
