Siheyuan: A High School Student? Nominated as an Academician by Special Appointment

Xu Weizhong transmigrates into a courtyard house, only to find himself a kept man supported by his sister-in-law and pushed around by everyone in the compound! Faced with freeloading neighbors, the hypocritical First Master, and the deaf old woman who uses morality to bully others, he binds himself to the [Card Master System]. His beginner's gift explodes with grain and meat!

Jia Zhangshi shows up to steal his food? One threat to call the police sends her running in terror. The deaf old woman tries to force his sister-in-law to marry Silly Zhu? He exposes her long-hidden pretense of being a model worker. Yi Zhonghai intercepts letters and steals money while playing the good guy? Xu Weizhong exposes him on the spot, takes his Grade Eight fitter skills, and sends him to prison!

He gets a science fiction story published in the newspaper and earns praise from the higher-ups, while his royalties outstrip his neighbors' annual incomes by a mile. He uses his connections with the neighborhood office to land a secure job at the steel mill, earning more than the veteran workers. He even wins the heart of a beauty, while trampling all the freeloaders, including Qin Huairu and Silly Zhu, underfoot. Xu Weizhong sneers, “You're all just stepping stones for me.”
