Becoming a life winner from infancy

Actually, Xia Nuo wasn't considered unintelligent as a child.

Though she had the bad habit of reading messages without replying properly, she still had no issues with addition and subtraction within 20. In the Moe King supremacy contest's "Bravery and Wisdom Challenge," she also demonstrated her strong learning capabilities.

However, after she began learning multiplication and division, Nuo Nuo's intelligence seemed to fall short of its former glory.

Although rankings weren't assigned in first and second grade, Nuo Nuo's scores were somewhat difficult to articulate.

Mainly, with Emperor Youyou next door scoring perfect on every test for contrast, Xia Anyang felt even more EMO.

The two kids hung out together every day, and even if there were differences in intelligence, should there be such a big gap?

The problem might not be apparent in the lower grades, but once they reached third and fourth grade when rankings started to matter, if everyone knew that Nuo Nuo was a dunce, they might look down on her.

What's more, her mother was the class teacher; her daughter was certainly under more pressure!

As a result, the child might become self-conscious, develop a hatred for learning, then grow fragile and sensitive, with friends dwindling, ending up with a tragic childhood!

This had been a perpetual concern for Xia Anyang, whose goal was to be a great father.

That's also why he hoped that Nuo Nuo would buckle down and study more during summer vacation.

But to Fang You, the Nuo Nuo in his eyes didn't have so many worries and troubles.

After meeting You You, Xia Nuo took the snacks brought by Fang You, cast her homework aside, and started eating with a happy and healed smile on her face.

"Mmmhmm... You You is the best to me!"

At home, Xia Nuo dressed casually, lounging in a pink strawberry ice silk dress, sitting cross-legged on the floor while eating the snacks Fang You brought. "You bring me snacks when you come to play, and I was just getting dizzy from studying. You're my lifesaver, hahaha!"

At that moment, Fang You casually began to look over the homework on Xia Nuo's desk.

"You say you're getting dizzy from studying... Does that mean you've finished all your subjects besides math?"

"No, just wrote in my diary."

Fang You happened to flip to the diary entry Xia Nuo had written in her pretty notebook.

[Today, it is sunny, You You did not come to play with me, so there is nothing much to say]

...

Though the written words were few, and many were spelled out in pinyin, the doodles below were rich in content.

Xia Nuo had drawn a scene of herself fighting various bad planes on a spaceship; it was a fierce battle. In the end, only one of our big ships remained intact; all other ships had been blasted apart.

It highlighted a child that could do anything but homework.

"With just this content in your diary, will Aunt Lin let it pass?"

"My mom doesn't check it; it's my dad who checks."

Xia Nuo said, tilting her head, "Although my dad is very strict, he lets me off because he sees how hard I'm trying to write. After all, I didn't want to write before."

"Then you really have improved a lot."

"Hehe, I really have made a lot of progress."

Xia Nuo playfully stuck out her tongue and then moved closer to Fang You with a fry, "You You, where do you buy your snacks? They're so good."

"I got them from Uncle Song Hang's place."

"Uncle Song Hang? Who is that? The name sounds strange."

"It's the uncle from that hopscotch game."

"You secretly went to see him without telling me!"

"Just had him help with something, was busy with work."

"So that's how it is."

Xia Nuo then popped a fry into Fang You's mouth, "Then you've worked hard, You You!"

Crunch, crunch.

Fang You ate the fry Xia Nuo extended to him, then passed her workbook to her.

"You got this problem wrong."

"Ah, I did it wrong? What should it be then?"

"3 times 7 is 21, not 28."

"Oh, is it... Let me recalculate."

Xia Nuo fiddled with her fingers, looking as if she was seriously studying the problem.

"How are you using your fingers to calculate multiplication?"

"I don't know, it seems like everyone does it this way when they calculate, hehe."

"You, you."

Fang You frowned with some helplessness, "How are you going to become an astronaut like this in the future?"

"But... but doing problems is really boring."

Xia Nuo said with a slightly aggrieved look, "It's just dense numbers, like cosmic codes, and I feel like I'm going to fall asleep with one more glance."

"But you're still interested in the scientific knowledge in science fiction novels, aren't you?"

"Mmm... that's interesting... but pure numbers just don't interest me."

As Xia Nuo spoke, she suddenly plopped down into Fang You's embrace, sitting on his legs and swinging her feet, "Youyou, Youyou, you're so smart, is there a way for me to quickly learn this stuff? I really don't want to think anymore."

"No, you have to use your brain."

"Wrong! I have another way."

"? What way."

"You do it for me, if you help me then I won't have to use my brain, hehe—"

With a gleeful smile, Xia Nuo looked up at Fang You, who had an indifferent expression and then suffered Youyou's attack of pinching her face.

"Do your own homework."

"Wuu... Youyou is so cold-hearted and emotionless!"

Feeling a bit annoyed, Xia Nuo pouted her lips, then pinched Fang You's face as well, "Then... if you can't help me do it, it's always alright for you to stay by my side and watch me do it."

"That's fine."

And so, Xia Nuo continued to do her homework while sitting on Youyou, with Fang You fulfilling his promise to accompany her.

Truth be told, Fang You had actually helped Nuo Nuo with her problems before, but once he had done it, he didn't want to do it again.

Because Nuo Nuo would ponder for ages over something you saw as obvious, and sometimes you didn't even know if she was messing with you or genuinely didn't get it; it was truly torturous.

Later on, Fang You realized something.

Encouraging his daughter to study was Xia Anyang's responsibility as a father; after all, he was just an outsider and should not interfere too much, needing to maintain boundaries with the child.

However, times were different now, and since he had the "In the Name of the Father" talent, perhaps he could share a bit of his intelligence with Nuo Nuo.

This was also why he was now getting close to Xia Nuo.

Yet he quickly realized an awkward issue.

When Fang You sifted through the talents he possessed, he found he had few that boosted intelligence.

The Golden Talents that Joyous Man got from the lottery were mostly physical, and other unlocked hidden talents mostly revolved around charm and skills.

And his intelligence? It was all on his own!

However, if he put effort into studying, perhaps he could unlock some talents in that direction.

But then again, hidden talents were randomly triggered, and it didn't seem like a sustainable path...

Xia Nuo sat on Fang You, buried in her homework, and all of a sudden, she sneezed, throwing her head back and bumping Fang You's chin, which buzzed his head.

"Ah, sorry Youyou!"

Immediately, Xia Nuo got up and checked, caressing Fang You's chin, "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay... just focus on your homework."

Fang You soothed Xia Nuo and had her continue her homework, and at that moment, a ding sounded in his head—

[In the Name of the Father: Xia Nuo has met the conditions to trigger the "Reverse Life" talent. Do you wish to share this talent with her?]

What the, the first shared talent triggered is of such high quality?

What kind of luck goddess is Nuo Nuo, huh!

"Reverse Life" was the very first growth talent Fang You obtained, which could greatly enhance growth potential, breaking through genetic limits of Fang You and raising future growth ceilings of various kinds.

It's worth mentioning that this talent was a main storyline growth talent, far surpassing the quality of ordinary golden and purple talents, that much was certain.

But... would this talent have an effect on Nuo Nuo, who was already eight years old?

While eight years old was indeed still a period of growth...

It shouldn't suddenly accelerate Nuo Nuo into puberty, right!

Even with such concerns, after all, growth potential did include an aspect of intelligence, so perhaps there would be some unexpected beneficial effects.

After much contemplation, Fang You decided to go for it given the rarity of the chance and chose to click confirm.

Anyway, let's just see what happens...
