Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 319 260 Nuo Nuo can hardly conceal her joy

After a long absence, a random task was triggered once more, and the new objective made Emperor Youyou hesitate a bit.

"Mandatory Calmness"—just from the name it sounded like an ability related to emotional management.

For Fang You, who was just entering adolescence and beginning to show emotional behaviors, it was indeed a very tempting ability.

Being controlled by emotions meant you couldn't think rationally or make correct and reasonable decisions, which was vital for Emperor Youyou who aimed for perfection and the ultimate realm.

But the method to complete the task was a little different from the past—

He had to go 72 hours without speaking to Nuo Nuo.

It was like a kind of endurance training.

Luckily, Fang You was usually a man of few words, so even if he didn't speak much, it probably wouldn't be too noticeable.

But not speaking at all and not speaking much was the difference between 0 and 1, and if Nuo Nuo felt that she was being neglected, she would definitely be upset.

Fang You didn't need to hurt his childhood friend just to complete a task.

So was there a way to accomplish the task without making Nuo Nuo feel ignored?

Got it!

It took Emperor Youyou only three seconds to think of a counter-strategy.

Truly worthy of him!

Once Fang You settled on a plan, he clicked to accept the task.

Meanwhile, the soapbox car race selection was still fiercely underway.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, the final score for our Wasp-class Sentinel Fighter has been announced!"

"Design score 27 points, skill score 25 points, speed score 23 points, performance score 30 points—that's the full score, folks! So it's a total of 105 points!"

"This must be the highest score in the recent soapbox design competitions by far, without a doubt!"

"That full-score performance is truly unforgettable, dang it!"

"Although our sci-fi fighter jets have delivered a GOAT-level performance, we can't overlook the potential dark horses that may emerge!"

"After witnessing the spectacular show from the sci-fi fighter cars, let's see which brave soul is up next, vying for the champion's throne of today's Mei City division—"

At the same time, Team Leader Jiang Zhengyi herself entered the stage on a scooter!

Although it was a goofy young look, coupled with Jiang Zhengyi's earnest pose, the atmosphere at the scene instantly heated up, and everyone was struggling to contain their laughter.

"Holy moly, a double dose of elementary school! Is that a twist car for kindergartners? That's too funny! Pffft—hahaha—"

"This competitor looks even more like a primary school student than the last team! No, more like a kindergarten kid, hahaha—Ah, but still, we should pay attention, yes, pay attention."

"This participant at first glance appears to be an excellent student... Yep, their car also has a very excellent name, called the Triple-A Student!"

"Looks like our young contestant might be small in stature, but she sure is a formidable brainiac! Now let's see how outstandingly she will perform this time!"

Hmph...

Xia Nuo also encouraged Luo Xianyu with a smile, "But it wasn't all bad. Without this accident, we probably couldn't have scored so high on performance."

"But if it was Sister Meng Qing who had acted instead of me, Nuo Nuo and You You might have made it to the finish! Then maybe we could have scored even higher for speed and technique..."

"I felt like I couldn't drive as well on the racing track as I did during practice, so it's not certain!"

Ayu had always been a child who didn't engage much in mental self-torment, preferring to lie back and be a laid-back salty fish.

But in her own domain of expertise, handicraft design, she also had her pride and self-respect and wouldn't completely give up.

This, too, was an unnoticed growth.

During this time, Xia Nuo also noticed Fang You approaching and waved at him, "Let's go watch some other soapbox car races? Oh, since Jiang Zhengyi didn't finish her race just now, shouldn't we go and encourage her?"

You're thinking of comforting her now? That's practically mocking her, hey!

He subconsciously wanted to say it out loud, but Fang You held back at the instant he was about to speak.

That was close...

Phew.

Xia Nuo took notice of Fang You's hesitance and asked:

"What's wrong, You You?"

Fang You shook his head and raised his phone watch, typing a few characters on it to show Xia Nuo.

Xia Nuo leaned in to look at the text on the watch and read it aloud.

"Toothache... can't talk?"

Good, there's no mission failure message.

It's just that I can't speak, but other forms of communication seem to be allowed.

Just need to come up with a reason why I absolutely cannot speak.

Toothache is arguably the most invincible excuse.

Fang You cradled the right side of his cheek, trying hard to muster a slightly pained frown.

Continue your journey with empire

However, when Fang You showed such an expression, Xia Nuo's reaction was to open her mouth wide, her face unable to hide her joy.

"You You, you've finally—"

"You've finally gotten sick!"

...

?

A large question mark rose above Fang You's head.

Why are you so happy that I'm sick?
