I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

“Loaded like this in the first few minutes? I’m definitely winning this match.”

Xiao Ye barely looted two buildings, yet his inventory was already stacked—armor, meds, ammo, guns. It was the kind of loadout people dreamed of. God-tier luck plus top-tier skill? This was the kind of opening that only happens once in a hundred matches.

There was no doubt in his mind. This match was a guaranteed win.

Still, even with confidence brimming, he didn’t let down his guard. Most players in the lobby were no threat to him; he could practically delete them with his eyes closed. The only one worth watching out for… was that “Number One Boss.”

He spotted him earlier parachuting into the same area.

“Better to deal with him now before the circle closes. Take him out early, and the rest of the match is smooth sailing.”

Xiao Ye made up his mind. But just as that thought solidified, he caught a glimpse of a figure moving through the window. It was him—Nomber One Boss. The guy stepped casually into a house.

Xiao Ye smirked. He knew that house—it was one he had already looted. Every weapon, every vest, every stim—gone.

There wasn’t even a frying pan left inside.

So, Xiao Ye crouched by the window, pulled out his scope, and trained his crosshair on the building’s only exit. The second he comes out, he’d be turned into a loot box. “‘Little Chick,’ how are you so geared already?” Qin Yunhan’s voice came through the team chat, light and curious.

Xiao Ye didn’t even turn away from his scope, still locked on the door across the field. “Here, let me give you some goodies.”

He dropped a few valuable items on the floor beside her without a second thought. Winning a bit of favor from the beautiful streamer was well worth the cost.

In no time, Qin Yunhan went from empty-handed to fully armed.

“Thanks,” she said sweetly. Then her voice sharpened just a little. “But I don’t have any grenades. Give me one.”

“One grenade?” Xiao Ye was a little hesitant.

He did not offer any grenades on purpose. With how bad her aim was, he figured she’d end up blowing herself up—or worse, him. But now that she asked, refusing would be a bad look. Still, he wasn’t planning on handing over his whole stash.

“One’s enough,” Qin Yunhan replied, a sly little smile playing on her lips.

But across the network, of course, Xiao Ye couldn’t see her face.

She sounded so sincere, he thought nothing of it and quickly handed over a grenade.

“How do I use this thing again?” she asked innocently.

“It’s simple, I’ll teach you,” Xiao Ye replied, still in focus-mode as he explained the throw mechanics step-by-step. After going over the basics, he asked, “Got it?”

“So it’s like this, then like that, and then…” Qin Yunhan did a quick test throw.

The grenade landed right at Xiao Ye’s feet.

He blinked, dumbfounded.

The room was small—there was no time to run.

Boom.

In a flash of fire and debris, both “Little Chick” and “Miss Streamer Has Arrived” were turned into crates.

【Ding! Host orchestrated the protagonist Xiao Ye’s in-game elimination. Reduced his popularity. Gained 1200 Villain Points. Xiao Ye’s Protagonist Halo -60. Villain Halo +60!】

“Beautifully done,” Wang Haoran praised with a chuckle through the mic.

“Hehe, of course!” Qin Yunhan laughed cheerily.

Their exchange stayed private.

“Miss… why’d you throw the grenade into the house?!” Xiao Ye finally regained his senses, utterly confused.

He defended against enemy snipers, campers, and ambushers—but he’d never seen a betrayal coming from his own teammate. He never imagined it would be the way he would die.

“I meant to throw it out the window! It went sideways somehow! Ughhh!” Qin Yunhan sounded flustered and mad at herself.

Xiao Ye couldn’t even stay mad.

She was notorious for her clumsy plays—he’d seen it all. If she messed up a grenade throw, that wasn’t sabotage. That was normal.

What could he do? She was cute. That was a get-out-of-jail-free card.

“Don’t worry about it,” he said warmly. “It’s fine, just throw it better next time. Don’t be mad, alright?”

“Ugh, so annoying,” Qin Yunhan muttered, keeping up the act.

Xiao Ye was about to offer more comfort, but then he saw someone step into the building.

It was “Number One Boss.”

He strolled in, empty-handed and dressed in nothing but in-game boxers and a vest. But within seconds of looting, he was decked out—armor, rifles, ammo, stims—everything.

Xiao Ye watched helplessly, fists clenched. All of that was his and had worked for that. Now it was someone else’s free upgrade.

【Ding! Host caused protagonist Xiao Ye’s mental state to destabilize. Gained 900 Villain Points!】

“Bonus rewards too?”

Wang Haoran, fully geared and smiling, walked out of the house feeling like a god of war.

Xiao Ye and Qin Yunhan, now in spectator mode, could only watch as he tore through the lobby like a beast.

In the end, with thirty-nine kills, he carried his team of elite streamers to another flawless victory.

Xiao Ye spent the entire match praying for him to die early. Watching him win again just twisted the knife deeper.

【Ding! Host caused protagonist Xiao Ye’s mental state to destabilize. Gained 500 Villain Points!】

Before long, the fourth match began.

And, once again, thanks to the unholy trinity of Protagonist Halo, Female Lead Halo, and Villain Halo—Wang Haoran, Qin Yunhan, and Xiao Ye were all thrown into the same game.

It was now: Villain Wang Haoran’s Squad vs. Protagonist Xiao Ye + undercover Female Lead Qin Yunhan.

Xiao Ye took a deep breath and refocused.

They dropped, landed, and started looting. His movement was flawless, fast, methodical.

Again—stacked loadout.

“Man, this system is a cheat code,” Xiao Ye thought.

Ever since he got it, his luck had gone off the charts. Not only was he constantly matched with the streamer beauty, but every round felt like the game was giving him a head start.

Once again, he was fully geared up within minutes.

His stream chat exploded:

“Streamer, how is your loot always this good? Are you cheating?”

“Another god-tier loadout start.”

“If you don’t win this time, just uninstall the game.”

After several games in a row with top-tier performance, more and more viewers began suspecting Xiao Ye wasn’t just a random—he had to be a streamer too.

Some curious fans started searching for “Little Chick” on the platform.

They found his channel.

And just like that, Xiao Ye’s star started to rise…
