Chapter 3: 002 Learned to Climb_2
So, he needed to grow quickly within the normal range!
Fang You became even more proactive in absorbing Growth Energy.
Under the influence of "Reverse Life," his growth rate had significantly increased.
At four months old, when other children were just learning to turn over, Fang You could already sit steadily atop Fang Guanghui's head;
At five months old, while other children were still babbling, Fang You could already speak sweetly in his baby voice;
At five and a half months old, when other children were barely learning to sit, Fang You was already crawling around the house;
Soon, a new growth target appeared—
[Congratulations! Growth level has been elevated to level 3, acquiring growth target [Crawling]——]
[Crawl 10,000 meters, unlock Talent: Unyielding Vitality]
This looks like a physical stamina-related Talent!
Great, it's exactly what I need.
What Fang You lacked the most right now was physical strength.
Children need so much time to rest.
How can I improve if I sleep so much every day?
Fang You no longer needed to turn over every day.
He began to crawl!
He crawled day and night.
In the living room.
On the bed.
Under the bed.
Fang Guanghui couldn't catch him.
[You have crawled 0.1 meter (1.2/10000), you have crawled 0.1 meter (1.3/10000)...]
No good, too slow!
Despite the rapid developmental progress, his body was still that of an ordinary child, and he had not yet unlocked any Talent to enhance his physical ability.
Moreover, his limbs were too short, and crawling was strenuous.
How long would it take to crawl 10,000 meters?
I must win at the starting line!
He saw his dad, Fang Guanghui, watching TV on the couch and remembered the technique he had used when turning over.
Fang You crawled onto his dad's back.
Turn the tables, let dad do the crawling!
"Ride the big horse!"
Fang Guanghui got down on all fours, carrying Fang You on his back as they crawled around the living room.
He laughed brilliantly.
Frankly, Fang Guanghui had been feeling that Fang You was too clever lately, always very calm, lacking a child's liveliness, not as lovely and lively as the neighbor's Nuo Nuo.
But while riding the big horse, Fang You finally showed a child's innocent and joyous smile.
Now, without exerting himself, he could still make progress!
[You have crawled 1 meter (2.3/10000), you have crawled 0.8 meters (3.1/10000)]
A few days later, Fang You, tugging at Fang Guanghui's pant leg, made a babyish plea:
"Daddy, horse! Ride!"
A sweating-all-over Fang Guanghui seriously wondered if his son had ADHD, and discussed with Chen Xuan about taking Fang You to the hospital for a check-up.
Wonderful, the child is not ill!
In the blink of an eye, Fang You was already half a year old!
Since she was on maternity leave and staying at home with the child, Chen Xuan and Lin Yi often visited each other, sharing parenting tips and helping to look after each other's babies.
The two gradually became best friends who talked about everything.
One day, they pushed their strollers and took their children to Yinhai Shopping Mall.
There were so many children in the mall, such a lively scene!
On the first floor of the mall, a baby crawling competition was taking place.
The host, holding a microphone, called out to the passing shoppers:
"Interested moms, come and let your babies participate! Just by participating, you'll get a can of premium formula! The champion will get ten sets of premium formula, enough for more than half a year!"
Upon hearing this, Fang You furrowed his brows—
How is Sanlu still not bankrupt?
Chen Xuan and Lin Yi were tempted:
"Let's take our kids to compete! Our You You is so good at crawling, he will surely win the championship, and we won't have to buy formula for a long time."
But Fang You threw quite a tantrum.
No matter how Chen Xuan coaxed him, he refused to get out of the stroller.
Just like a marauding beast perched in a tree.
Fang You ruthlessly swatted away his mom's hand.
Lin Yi picked up little bear-clad Xia Nuo, curiously asking Chen Xuan, "What's wrong, what's wrong, doesn't You You usually love crawling?"
"Maybe it's his first time seeing so many kids, he's shy... He's usually very lively."
"If You You really doesn't want to do it, maybe we should just forget it..."
At this moment, Xia Nuo, in Lin Yi's arms, suddenly started crying out, constantly reaching out her hands toward Fang You with a grasping motion.
"Oh, Nuo Nuo seems to want to encourage You You!"
Xia Nuo was brought in front of Fang You, in Lin Yi's embrace.
She grabbed hold of Fang You's shoulder, then leaned in closer.
Owwoo—
Xia Nuo started gnawing on Fang You's chubby right cheek.
She had just sprouted two little teeth, and her gums were itchy, always wanting to grind on something.
She bit Fang You's face so hard it hurt, and Fang You cried out in pain.
"Ah ah, Nuo Nuo what are you doing—"
Just as the moms pulled Xia Nuo and Fang You apart, the host of the ongoing crawling contest made another announcement:
"Breaking news, the crawling contest prizes have been updated, the champion will get to upgrade the three-way formula set to a luxurious children's sports car!"
After pushing Xia Nuo away, Fang You suddenly sat up in the stroller, extending his arms out to Chen Xuan:
"Mommy, up."
Chen Xuan was slightly annoyed, "Oh dear, so you were uninterested in the formula and just wanted the car..."
"Boys will be boys," Lin Yi said, laughing.
The moms took Fang You and Xia Nuo to participate in the crawling contest.
Babies all over the shopping mall crawled chaotically on foam mats, with parents bustling anxiously behind them, making the scene quite chaotic.
The contest began!
The moms held toys in their hands, coaxing their babies to crawl towards the finish line.
Of course, Fang You didn't need any external help.
He had chosen to compete just to make the moms happy.
What a filial son!
He coolly ignored the rattling drum that Chen Xuan shook, his gaze determinedly set on the finish line as he crawled forward.
Just at that moment, Fang You suddenly heard a commotion coming from behind him.
It was Xia Nuo!
Although Xia Nuo had only just started crawling a little, she was very goal-oriented:
She was crawling in Fang You's direction!
Fang You hastened his crawling pace.
But since his dad had been helping him with his crawling recently, Fang You's own crawling ability had somewhat regressed.
He was actually caught up by Xia Nuo!
She grabbed hold of Fang You's split pants.
Just like seizing the future.
Then, as Fang You tried to shake her off, she made a sudden rush, yanking down Fang You's pants.
Fang You's bare, round little bottom was exposed for all to see!
The adults found this scene very amusing and took out their phones to snap pictures.
And so, Fang You, dragging Xia Nuo along, claimed both the champion and runner-up titles of the baby crawling contest.
"Our You Bao is just too amazing, dragging Nuo Bao along and still claiming the championship, reaching the finish line in just 39 seconds and 27 milliseconds, setting a new record for the Yinhai Shopping Mall baby crawling contest!"
Upon learning that the two babies knew each other, the host invited Fang You and Xia Nuo to sit together in a Ferrari children's car to take a commemorative photo.
The runner-up prize received by Xia Nuo, a luxurious pretend-play toy set, was placed on the trunk lid of the car.
Parents clapped for Fang You and Xia Nuo:
"Who would have thought this year's champion would be won by a six-month-old baby, truly the new waves pushing the old ones forward!"
"And about that bottom, I swear, it was the most beautiful, healthiest bottom I've ever seen!"
"Darn it, I thought my son's record of 50 seconds and 88 milliseconds was unbeatable, but this kid is terrifyingly powerful!"
At this moment, Fang You was sulking in the car because Xia Nuo had pulled down his pants in public, while Xia Nuo next to him happily tapped on the car horn button.
The honking sound made her giggle uncontrollably.
Though only six months old, Xia Nuo was always carefree and very happy.
Meanwhile, the somewhat depressed i-person Fang You suddenly envisioned a few lines of text in his mind:
[Congratulations on achieving first place in the crawling contest, you have been awarded 100 points of Growth Energy! Current Growth Energy (720/1300)]
[Hidden Talent [Crawling King] now unlocked: Your crawling speed stands at the pinnacle among toddlers!]
