Becoming a life winner from infancy

"Before the rain stops, in case any ghosts come to attack us, we can make weapons out of these."

"Wuu wuu... Nuo Nuo, don't... don't scare me."

Luo Xianyu was truly frightened to tears, shivering so much that her soul almost left her body, and she nearly became a dead fish.

Fang You first comforted Ayu before calling Xia Nuo over, "Come on, Nuo Nuo, give me both sticks."

"Ah... okay." Xia Nuo handed the sticks to Fang You.

Nuo Nuo unintentionally set the mood, making Fang You aware of the crisis.

Although there wouldn't be any ghost attacks, what would Fang You do if an ill-intentioned adult suddenly broke in under these circumstances?

It seemed the public security of this world had always been quite good, making such an incident highly unlikely.

But upon further thought, if something really did happen, would he be a match for an adult?

Fang You had rarely considered this question before.

But given the current situation, he indeed had to consider the possibility of such a danger.

What Xia Nuo had said was initially to liven up the atmosphere, but seeing Fang You's expression suddenly turn solemn, Xia Nuo also began to worry, squatting with a stick next to Fang You.

"Yu, You You... did you really believe there were ghosts in this world?"

"I really do!"

Luo Xianyu muttered on the side, "When I sleep at night, I always hear something knocking on the windows outside, and I would end up sleeping with my mom."

"Ah ah, me too, me too! I've encountered it too, it's like, I'm always thinking, what if aliens abduct me."

"Are aliens ghosts too?" Fang You couldn't help but snark.

"They are as powerful as ghosts, able to teleport and summon me, and then they would take me away for experiments, and dissect me."

"Ah ah... stop talking, it's so scary!"

Luo Xianyu was really scared, "Nuo Nuo, if you talk about scary stuff again, I won't play with you!"

"Right, I'm sorry Ayu, I won't talk about it anymore."

"You can't talk about it ever!"

"Ever—"

Whoosh!

A sudden bolt of lightning made the world outside the window as bright as day, causing Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu to immediately dive into Fang You's arms.

What followed was a thunderous boom, as if the sky itself was about to shatter.

Seeing the children scared witless, Fang You instinctively covered their ears for them.

[You have gained experience in simultaneously protecting two girls, knowledge energy +10*2]

"You You... this side too—"

Xia Nuo's fear of thunder was more exaggerated than Luo Xianyu's, burrowing into his embrace was not enough, she wanted Fang You to cover both her ears with his hands.

"I only have two hands!"

"Then, Ayu, I'll cover one side for you, and you cover the other side for me."

"...okay."

Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu had one hand free, and they looked at each other, trying to cover Fang You's ears for him.

"I don't need it!"

After a flurry of activity, the rain seemed to lessen a bit, but the thunder kept rumbling on.

Having grown accustomed to the relentless crackling of thunder, now Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu were not so afraid anymore.

"Just now, the rain started out of nowhere, it was so frightening!"

"It's good we found shelter here, otherwise we could have been washed away by the heavy rain."

"..."

Suddenly realizing something, Xia Nuo murmured an apology, head bowed.

"I'm sorry, You You, Ayu."

"If I had listened to you and gone back earlier, we wouldn't have been trapped by the rainstorm."

Seeing Xia Nuo's sincere apology, Luo Xianyu also felt awkward and touched her nose:

"Sorry Nuo Nuo, I didn't really want to go back either."

Luo Xianyu touched her nose awkwardly, "I just don't like watching you catch Paru like Kairgelis, I think it's scary."

"Ah, Kairgelis is actually very cool, how can it be scary?"

"Everyone has different tastes."

Fang You said, "You can't expect everyone to like the same things as you, that would just be forcing your preferences on others, and it's impossible to last that way."

[You've realized the importance of educating children, knowledge energy +10]

...

But you two, why aren't you reacting at all.

This might make me look a bit awkward...

"Did Youyou seem to say something really impressive?"

"I think so too!"

Luo Xianyu nodded, "But after all, it's Daddy, and it makes sense that he would teach me a lesson."

"Fine then..."

It might be a bit early to talk about these things with a child.

Or rather, it might only be effective if I systematically tailor my teachings to the child's aptitude.

Just preaching grand principles probably won't do much good.

Right then, Xia Nuo suddenly placed her hand on Fang You's stomach.

"Ah, Youyou, aren't you very cold?"

"I, I'm okay, very strong."

"But your tummy is all chilly."

"Really?"

Luo Xianyu also reached out to touch Fang You, and then showed a shocked and aggrieved expression, "Daddy, you're not going to die, are you... Only dead people are this cold."

"No way, Youyou, you can't die behind my back..."

Xia Nuo said, rubbing her hands together and breathing on them, then placing them on Fang You's stomach, "I'll warm you up a bit, so you won't freeze to death."

"Ayu will save Daddy too!"

Luo Xianyu rubbed her hands and pressed them against Fang You.

...

[You are experiencing the warmth provided by two little girls. Damn you! Knowledge energy +10*2]

While the children were talking, a white light flashed in the sky again.

By now, Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu were no longer afraid of the lightning. On the contrary, Xia Nuo even seemed excited.

"That's amazing, Youyou!"

"What's amazing?"

"I just realized when I was rubbing my hands that this must be a storm cloud summoned by Thunder Emperor Jex! It seems this downpour is a trial for us."

Xia Nuo frowned and thought deeply, "Even the divine beast Paru can influence the real world. That's really amazing, worthy of the Thunder Emperor!"

"No... it's just that it happened to be a thunderstorm."

"No, how can there be that many coincidences!"

"Do you think our meeting was just a coincidence? Maybe it's the result calculated by the cosmic constants!"

"Cosmic constants are not quantum mechanics; you can't just use them willy-nilly like that."

"Daddy, Nuo Nuo, look, it seems like the rain has stopped outside."

The downpour that was falling heavily just a moment ago suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The thunderstorm in summer is truly just a gust of wind...

"It seems the trial has ended..."

Xia Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She got up from the ground, rubbed her somewhat numb calves, then walked toward the door.

And just then, the door opened with a snap.

A monster wrapped in a raincoat appeared!

"Ah! A ghost really did come in!"

Startled, Xia Nuo immediately flung her stick at the creature's face, and Fang You rushed forward without a moment's delay. They heard the "monster" immediately start shouting their defense loudly:

"Not a ghost! It's Daddy! No, Uncle!"

Fang Guanghui, shrouded in a raincoat, was drenched, his body covered in mud and looking extremely pathetic.

After the downpour had started, he had braved the rain to come find the children.

Fang Guanghui finally showed his radiant side, astonishing even Fang You!

On the way home, the storm had washed everything clean and fresh, as if it had rinsed the fine dust from the world, and everything was so peaceful and beautiful.

"Dad, how did you find this place?"

"The smart watch has the last location recorded; I couldn't get through to your phone, so I followed that location to find you..."

Fang Guanghui let out a sigh of relief, "Seeing you're all okay... Uncle can rest, rest easy—Ah, achoo!"

It seems like everyone might have caught a bit of a cold today.

Only Fang You felt fine after returning home.

Because after he got back and sensed he was coming down with a cold, he urgently did a random draw, and with the influence of the Child of Luck, he soon drew a Golden Talent for "Immunity Boost," making him less susceptible to falling ill.

The impressive Emperor Youyou!
