Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 104: 102 Emperor Youyou won't wait for anyone (Extra update for promoting Zhuo Zhuo~)

2032, summer.

Mei City, Hua Nation.

The incessant chirping of cicadas was frustrating, and the scorching sun was toasting the earth so much that the air seemed to be broiling, with visible heat waves tirelessly rolling about.

It was an exceptionally disagreeable day to be outside!

Dragon City Garden, in front of the bus station.

A primary school student was waiting for the bus with his mother, as they were planning to go to the mall for some fun.

After his relentless nagging, his mother had agreed to buy him the currently trending Paru Lightning Wind Mouse figurine. Once he showed it off at school, everyone would surely be insanely jealous of me!

The student clung to his mother's arm, swaying it back and forth.

"Mom, Mom, is the bus coming yet?"

His mother, who was currently scrolling through beauty blogger Hua Xika's videos, said irritably:

"Oh, didn't I just tell you? Five minutes…"

The student walked away dejectedly and silently squatted down to observe the thick leg hair on the chunky uncle standing beside them.

He swallowed hard and resisted the urge to help pluck the uncle's leg hair; last time he did that, he was beaten up.

He stood back up and started jumping around next to his mom again.

"Mom, Mommy, how long till the bus arrives now?"

"Three minutes."

The student sighed, feeling that such a life was a waste of time, and then started looking around for something else to amuse himself.

Next to the bus station, there was a student who looked a bit older than him. As his gaze fell on the other boy, he was shocked by what he was doing—

On such a hot day, a kid could sit there and read a book with total concentration. He was wearing a plain shirt, with round black-frame glasses, and his hair was neatly combed.

Wow, what a pretentious person!

"Oh, Mom—Mommy mommy, isn't the bus here yet?"

"Keep pestering me, and you can forget about getting the Paru figurine!"

The student immediately straightened up, putting on a sincere expression: "Sorry, Mom, I was wrong for being loud just now. I promise to be a good kid from now on."

10 seconds later.

He was back in front of his mother, hopping around like a hyperactive monkey.

"Mommy Mommy, let me see your phone, the bus is almost here, please?"

The mother lost her patience at last!

She grabbed the child's ear in a huff and then pointed to the quietly-reading student next to them:

"Look at him, he's sitting there reading a book quietly in this heat waiting for the bus, now look at yourself... How can you be so impatient and still have the nerve to ask me to buy you toys? I'm angry now, no buying the Lightning Wind Mouse! Go home and study properly."

"That's not a mouse, that's a Swift Weasel, Mom. You're my mom; don't say things that lack knowledge. If word gets out, I'll be laughed at by my classmates!"

"Screw whatever grapefruit or lemon they are. You're my son; don't say such idiotic things, or I'll be the butt of the joke among the nearby aunties!"

The elementary school student grimaced in pain; his eyes could almost shoot fire as he watched the student reading at the bus stop.

[Wu Yonghao feels you're like a godsend, Emotional Energy +20*10]

Indeed, the child sitting at the bus stop waiting for a seat was none other than Fang You, who hadn't met with everyone for two years.

Fang You was now an eight-year-old elementary school student!

He was enrolled in Grade 2 (3) of the best elementary school in Mei City, with a love for reading and learning.

Although he was an honor student, he didn't show off any specific talents in class—

He was talented at everything!

Over the past two years, Fang You also unlocked quite a few new Talents.

Among them, a few worth mentioning included the following abilities:

[Skim Reading]: Having read over 10,000 volumes, you've read through 100 books and your reading speed has tremendously increased!

[Profound Martial Wisdom]: By reading a large amount of martial arts knowledge books, you've become a master of martial arts theory, permanently adding +1 to your Martial Artist Professional Level.

[The Neighbor's Child]: You're often cited by nearby parents as the neighbor's child and seen by other children as the root of all evil! When students generate negative feelings towards you, the Emotional Energy you harvest is tenfold.

[Eat Without Gaining]: Years of healthy eating habits and regular exercise have given you a powerful metabolism; you've established a physique that easily stays slim.

[Never Nearsighted]: The woes of nearsightedness and glasses are not fated for you; your vision will never deteriorate, only improve.

The Talents [Skim Reading] and [Profound Martial Wisdom] were both unlocked while reading books, while [The Neighbor's Child] resulted from his consistent year-over-year efforts. Being constantly involved in cut-throat competition, Fang You became the bane of many schoolchildren.

Of course, there was more than one reason for disliking Fang You; there were plenty more.

After all, Fang You had a need to harvest Emotional Energy. For him, not doing something to rile up his classmates, to accelerate his growth and evolution, was more painful than death itself.

The abilities [Eat Without Gaining] and [Never Nearsighted] were drawn from the Joyous Man system. These two abilities are typically not thought about until one gets fat or becomes nearsighted, but they count as physiological changes, so they're worth a special mention here.

Besides these, Fang You also drew many purple Talents of the copycat variety, but many of these Talents are not suitable for his current age to showcase, so there's no need to show off just here; let's leave a little teaser for now.

Bus 318 slowly pulled into the stop, and Fang You followed the adults, getting on the bus as well.

[Beep, student card]

Fang You found himself a window seat. On the electronic screen in front of him scrolled ongoing news about the developments in this world.

Planet Blue's development was advancing by leaps and bounds, with many pieces of cutting-edge technology that Fang You had never seen in his former life now within his view.

Though none heralded a technological revolution, there were plenty of technologies that were astounding, unleashing waves of imagination about the grand vision of the future.

One particularly tantalizing concept was the brain-computer interface gaming.

This concept, which only existed in novels and anime in his former life, had recently become a frequent topic of discussion, a hot-search item on major social platforms. Some of the top gaming developers in this world had announced collaborative development plans with leading tech companies.

Although it was still in the early stages of development, compared to the hyped concept stocks his previous life knew, they were genuinely recruiting testers globally.

Apart from that, the powerful nation of China had also achieved a major breakthrough in manned spaceflight technology. The first lunar landing mission was set to be officially launched at the tail end of this summer vacation.

It would be the first time a new country embarked on this grand journey of gazing at the stars since the Lighthouse Country's lunar program sixty years ago.

But on second thought, if he had stayed in that past world, perhaps the situation pushing the world forward could have developed into what he was seeing now, right?

Ha ha...

At this thought, Fang You suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

He had gradually forgotten the world of his previous life, and this world had become the place he cared about and valued more.

He noticed a high school girl wearing glasses on a nearby seat on the bus, observing him.

She was holding her phone as if she were taking pictures of him.

When she realized that Fang You's gaze had noticed her actions, the girl immediately put down her phone and turned her head to look elsewhere.

[Huang Shihan, seeing such a handsome elementary school student for the first time! She really wanted to take a picture and show her friends, Emotional Energy +30]

Data in front of her named "youth" was crashing wildly, indicating she was extremely nervous, fearing that her impulsive behavior might have made Fang You dislike her.

Fang You also shifted his gaze away, lowering his head to read his favorite recent book: "How to Become an Ordinary Person in the Public's Eyes".

It had to be admitted that although most of Fang You's talents were geared towards helping him become a winner in life,

some of his talents were now dragging his will forward, causing him some trouble.

This was the "Peach Assistant" that specifically targeted older members of the opposite sex and the "Moe King", which dealt a deadly charm upon first meeting.

Girls of his age, naive and carefree, were not affected by "Peach Assistant";

Aunts and married women tended to show a maternal fondness for Fang You, which was very reassuring.

Only the big sisters in their adolescence with all kinds of strange fantasies and immature minds became the victims under the influence of Fang You's charming talent, turning him into a little boy with deep sins.

This was also why Fang You deliberately disguised himself, making sure he appeared at least ordinary and harmless at first glance.

[Next stop, Mei City Public Library]

Looking at the bright moon appearing on the electronic screen, Fang You's mind suddenly conjured the image of the girl with the blooming smile—

In those past days, there had been a girl who spent time with him day and night, with whom he shared the beautiful moments of infancy and early childhood.

They grew up together, went to kindergarten together, went on variety shows together, performed together, and lifted the Moe King Trophy together.

Fang You and that child hadn't seen each other in a long time.

How long had it been?

Fang You couldn't remember anymore.

But without a doubt,

as he evolved and walked the path to transcendence, Fang You was destined to be alone in the end.

The road to being an invincible strong person is always a lonely one.

He had no intention, and it was not possible for him to stand still and wait for anyone.

Waiting for any person.

[Mei City Public Library, we have arrived]

Fang You got off the bus, with only the last 300,000 words left to read towards his goal of 100 million words.

Maybe he could finish that in the next few days...

While Fang You was contemplating, he suddenly felt a strong killing intent behind him.

Fang You was attacked from behind!

The attacker pounced on Fang You's back, wrapping arms around his neck in an attempt to strangle him.

But Fang You's strong physique would not be subdued by such a chokehold!

He grabbed the attacker's slim and pale arms, about to throw him over his shoulder, but the scent coming from the person and the touch of their body made Emperor Youyou hesitate for 0.1 second.

After that, Fang You heard an energetic call by his ear.

"You You! Long time no see!"

Ah, so it's Nuo Nuo.

Then it's nothing.

Fang You let Xia Nuo down and playfully squeezed her cheeks.

"How come you're here? Weren't you going to the beach in Fu City for vacation with your parents? How come you're back after just three days..."

"It's boring to play in the water with dad. It's fun to be with You You," Xia Nuo said.

"I just want to read books."

"That's fun too. Be with me today and read books! The book I want to read today is 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.' You You, join me!"

"... Okay." Experience more on mvl

"Hehe, You You is the best!" Xia Nuo, snuggling Fang You's arm, whispered softly in his ear: "You You, when will you go to the beach with me..."

"As soon as I finish reading, I'll consider it..."

"Mhm!"

Emperor Youyou will not wait for anyone.

But if she catches up...

Then there's nothing to be done.
