Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 201 173 Nuo Nuo Locked Window

Frankly, the Talent of "Mindful Craftsman" didn't give Fang You an especially strong sense of enhancement.

Before unlocking this Talent, he had already been a formidable "Artisan" and a well-known "Origami Master" whose finger dexterity was far more advanced than most.

However, its effect on Uncle Xia was particularly remarkable.

Anyone who regularly uses a keyboard knows that long hours spent hunched over a computer working on documents, or gaming and facing opponents online, can gradually reduce finger flexibility, leading to numbness, tremors, and a constant shaking when picking up slightly heavier items.

Gradually, fingers become less flexible, stiff, and sluggish, like rusty bearings, gradually losing their original vigor.

A typing speed that used to be 2000 characters per hour dropped to 1000 or even less.

This is a primary reason why many writers experience a steady decline in typing efficiency with age, and programmers like Song Hang naturally follow the same principle.

If Fang You's original finger dexterity was 10000, then "Mindful Craftsman" might add 2000, making Fang You reach 12000, a mere 20% increase in dexterity for Fang You.

However, for Uncle Xia, this numerical difference could be 1000+2000, doubling Uncle Xia's hand dexterity!

Although he still lost to the medium difficulty AI in "Age of Empires 5", the sensation of ease produced by his palms and fingers was indeed an experience Song Hang could physically feel now.

He repeatedly used both hands to touch, tap on the keyboard, and perform grasping motions, and when he confirmed that the feeling wasn't purely psychological comfort, but a change beginning at the physiological level, joy overflowed on his face.

"Ah, this is really strange... I don't know why, but after watching You You brother play games, I suddenly felt pumped up and my hands became much more flexible!"

Looking at his outspread palms joyfully, Song Hang continuously made finger-bending gestures.

There were no more feelings of soreness or numbness, and his hands no longer trembled when exerting strength...

In Song Hang's experience now, these hands seemed to be reborn, as if he was seeing them for the first time, becoming somewhat unfamiliar to him.

What could one do with a pair of hands as nimble as those of a 17-year-old!

Whether it's playing games, coding, or anything else...

Ah, I dare not even think about it!

Seeing Uncle Xia's excited expression, Fang You responded with unusual calmness:

"Perhaps the passion and enthusiasm have always been there inside you, just by a stroke of luck, I happened to awaken it."

[Reasoning successfully! [Persuasion with Logic] has been triggered]

"Um... Perhaps, perhaps that's really what happened!"

Persuasion with Logic can dispel people's doubts about strange changes happening to them in most situations by reasoning, which turns out to be an unexpected use.

"But, I really do need to thank you, You You brother!"

With a face full of gratitude, Song Hang gazed at Fang You, even almost going forward to pat his shoulder, but probably remembering he was his subordinate, he restrained the impulse and instead started to rub his hands together:

"Since meeting You You brother, my life seems to have gotten better."

"There's no need for such flattery."

"I, I am not flattering; these are heartfelt emotions, really... Ah, it seems my luck has turned."

[Song Hang now genuinely feels fortunate to have met you! Emotional Energy +50]

? Wasn't that the truth before.

Nevertheless, seeing Uncle Xia so happy, like a child, Fang You's heart gradually felt a fatherly satisfaction.

After all, not long ago, this uncle had been a despairing man with no goals and unable to move forward, and now under Fang You's guidance, he had reignited the hope for life.

What am I, an angel descended to Earth? I must be too awesome!

[You now understand what it feels like when prospering through association -- knowledge energy +100]

After being reborn, Song Hang was eager to show Fang You his great evolution and vowed confidently that he would definitely be able to help Fang You release "The Brave Fight the Evil Dragon" on Spica before the end of summer vacation.

Fang You approved of Song Hang's determination and signed a gambling agreement with him stipulating that if the task wasn't completed on time, he wouldn't have to pay Song Hang any salary and could even claim his family computer and its full set of equipment as compensation.

It seemed that Song Hang, with his strong spirit of contract, would never take a weak and disappointing action, especially considering he's the type to consider confidentiality agreements even in front of children.

So, Fang You left Song Hang's home with a backpack full of snacks and then took them to Xia Nuo's place.

Fang You called Xia Nuo on his smartwatch phone while on the way and got an immediate response at the speed of light.

"Youyou Youyou! What a coincidence, I was just about to call you! This must be telepathy."

Xia Nuo couldn't hide his excitement on the other end of the phone, "What are you doing?"

"I'm in the elevator, getting ready to come over to play."

Fang You asked, "Are you at home?"

"Yes, yes! I'm still studying!"

"I'm at your front door, come out and let me in."

"Just come in! Don't be shy."

"Come down and open the door."

"Just enter the password! My parents aren't home."

"Fine."

The door code to Nuo Nuo's house was something Xia Nuo had secretly told Fang You.

Although Fang You got along well with Nuo Nuo's parents, he was still an outsider; if people found out that the neighbor's kid knew their home code, Uncle Xia would probably feel uncomfortable.

They might even change the code the next day.

And that could lead to Xia Nuo getting into a spat with her dad.

Fang You had no desire to help mend the relationship between father and daughter again; one Ayu was already enough trouble. Even as Emperor Youyou, he didn't want to go through it a second time without a mission.

Xia Nuo was working hard to earn a trip to Qiankun City to watch a rocket launch at the end of the month, and to achieve this goal, her parents had prepared a summer study plan for her that included keeping a daily diary, submitting a book report once a week, learning 10 Ying words and doing 20 arithmetic problems every day.

These tasks seemed like a 10-minute job to Fang You, but for an eight-year-old Xia Nuo, they were a formidable daily opponent.

When Fang You arrived to see her, she was stuck on the 20 arithmetic problems.

She had only written one so far.

[3X7=28]

And it was wrong.

Although Xia Nuo had outstanding athletic talent, incredible physical strength, excellent dance talent, a very active mind, and a high EQ, not to mention her luck was top-tier,

God seemed to have closed a window for her when it came to studying.

It appears Nuo Nuo's noggin isn't all that bright!
