Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 108: Strange knowledge is too much.

Just as Fang You predicted earlier, his new growth talent was linked to his progress and unleashed an energy system distinct from Growth Energy and Emotional Energy:

Knowledge Energy.

Knowledge is a precious human treasure.

To explore the unknown, to seek answers.

This is also an indispensable quality for driving the development of human civilization.

Awesome!

It fits perfectly with my love for reading as a kid.

But...

Why did it have to wait until I read a hundred million characters before showing up, hey!

And you're telling me to keep reading books, right!

After a simple test, Fang You discovered that the books he had already read, and the knowledge he had understood, could not provide a replenishment of Knowledge Energy anymore.

Moreover, because of the extra effect of "Mountain of Books with Paths," once knowledge entered Fang You's mind, it was hard for him to forget it again.

Trying to go back and read books that he hadn't looked at in a long time, the system wouldn't issue Knowledge Energy just because he had learned and then forgotten them.

Being too knowledgeable has now become a sin, huh.

Wuwu...

Since that's the case...

Then there's no helping it!

Fang You decided to make his way to the library once more!

But now it wasn't about just reading new books and stories to acquire new knowledge.

This time, he needed to read something different.

Fang You found a book in the library titled "100 Unique Facts You Definitely Don't Know—Share With Your Friends and Enlighten Them."

[You now know that when people sneeze, the air can shoot out of the nose at speeds up to 160 kilometers per hour, nearly the average speed of an F1 race car, Knowledge Energy +1]

[You now know that kangaroos are the only known mammals that don't fart, Knowledge Energy +1]

[You now know that newborn babies actually don't have kneecaps, Knowledge Energy +1]

[You now know that the original character designs for the Fast-fist Hero and Flying-leg Hero from Paru Go were actually based on Bruce Lee and Jack Chen, Knowledge Energy +1]

[You now know that, in fact, the buttocks of most males are bouncier than those of females, Knowledge Energy +1]

Ah!

These truly are facts I knew nothing about before!

My Knowledge Energy is skyrocketing—

Ah no, why is it only 1?

Fang You held his nose and read through these strange and unusual facts, and subsequently, a new hidden talent began to emerge.

[Congratulations on learning a lot of strange knowledge! You're awarded 100 Knowledge Energy points, current growth progress (70122/100000) Talent unlocked: King of Unique Facts]

[King of Unique Facts: When you acquire knowledge that less than 0.001% of people in the world know, the Knowledge Energy you gain is doubled]

Oh yo, the Knowledge Energy you're awarding me is directly doubled, really a lot, huh?

Oh my ghost!

But that's only turning 1 into 2.

Now Fang You felt like a player who sped through a game too fast and is currently stuck in a situation akin to speedrunning without any guides available for the new version, having to figure everything out on his own.

At least Emotional Energy is straightforward and efficient, constantly reaping benefits whether he is bullying someone or being adored.

But knowledge energy was somewhat abstract.

Emperor Youyou realized that his most formidable enemy might not be humans, but patches!

Acquiring new knowledge didn't need to come from books, which meant Fang You could use modern technology to search for more obscure knowledge online.

[You've learned that going to work is actually about selling all your organs without actually selling them, knowledge energy +2]

[You've learned that if you sleep until noon every day, you can save the money for a meal, knowledge energy +2]

[You've learned that the widely known anime character Skeleton King originated from "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe," knowledge energy +2]

…

Although using a smartphone could provide many such pieces of obscure knowledge, it was still slow.

Fang You had come to understand.

Looking into these useless pieces of obscure knowledge was not the best way to gain knowledge energy.

Fang You shifted his focus to another ability of "Mountain of Books a Path":

Randomly triggered special tasks, huh…

Considering the various experiences of grinding for knowledge so far, "reading" provided a low knowledge energy gain, clearly not the method suggested by the system to obtain knowledge energy.

Moreover, to date, Fang You had never triggered a random task through reading, suggesting this path wasn't one that could easily trigger "Mountain of Books a Path."

So, perhaps engaging more with interactions between people…

Would relying on the strategy that true knowledge stems from practice lead to different outcomes?

Children born into affluent environments have the opportunity to experience a variety of talent classes.

However, children's energy is limited, and it's not possible to attend every kind of tutoring and supplementary course.

So often, children just follow their parents to get a taste of a class, and simply grasping the general idea is enough.

The model of short-term participation in experience classes has become a popular teaching method in these talent classes of late.

Experience classes teach new students the most basic introductory theory of the subject and involve them in practical exercises.

Of course, teachers make sure that students can show off a small achievement before the experience class concludes.

For children, this satisfies their curiosity, and once they tire of it, they won't nag their parents to pursue it further;

For adults, they've posted about it on their social circle, and the child has been exposed to a different side of the world, fulfilling the purpose of education;

For the tutors of these classes, experience classes have simple content, making teaching relaxed, and through daily interactions, they can communicate more and unearth true long-term customers.

Overall, experience classes are a new form of course tutoring that everyone is willing to accept and try out.

Older generations of parents prefer their children to learn arts like painting, piano, dance, and calligraphy.

New-age parents hope their children will partake in sports such as skiing, horseback riding, surfing, and archery.

Besides these, martial arts form a distinct category of talent classes.

What's special about it is…

It's just too abundant!

As martial arts are popular in Huaguo and martial artists have a high societal status, with numerous specialized Martial Arts Schools to plan children's careers, many parents and children have developed a strong interest in the sport.

Due to market demand, there are various types of Martial Arts Halls all over the streets, and the competition is fierce, with experience classes almost given away for free.

Thus, parents are happy to let their children try out various martial arts classes.

If a coach discovers the child has talent for martial arts, it means the child won't have to jostle for a spot in the college entrance exams.

Martial artists with excellent rankings find it much easier to get into prestigious universities, brightening their future prospects!

But if it doesn't work out, no problem—it's just like finding a great place for the child to expend energy on weekends, so they won't make a fuss at home!

And on this day, Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall, renowned nationwide, welcomed a small new student named Fang You.
