Becoming a life winner from infancy

Xia Nuo slept through the night, and when she woke up the next day, she felt almost recovered from her illness.

She was eager to slip out of her house right away to undertake the secret base renovation plan.

However, Xia Anyang wasn't going to let Nuo Nuo out the door that easily—

She was stopped at home.

But for Fang You, after all, this time's random task had double the rewards, so even without Nuo Nuo's help, he had to get things ready early and move the task forward.

They had to transform the small cabin they discovered last time into their secret base within 15 days.

The overall concept of the renovation sounded a bit abstract, but Fang You, being an experienced gamer, pulled down the task system bar and quickly knew the specifics of what had to be done.

The task consisted of several subtasks.

[Clean up the rubbish inside the cabin 0/1]

[Patch up the four major gaps in the cabin with wooden planks 0/4]

[Place one table and two chairs 0/3]

[Recruit four members for the secret base 0/4]

[Name the secret base something that everyone agrees on 0/1]

[Absolutely must not be discovered by adults 1/1]

The first few items corresponded to turning the secret base into a suitable place for a stronghold to rest, and the last task was related to the "not to be discovered by adults" clause of the secret base.

This meant that the base had to take on a secret duty and must not be found by adults.

If it could not be discovered by adults, naturally, they couldn't ask adults for help.

The hope of commanding his father was dashed.

In fact, Fang You felt that Fang Guanghui would probably be quite interested in the secret base and would certainly help if asked.

But there was no other way, he would have to clean up by himself.

Though he had the mentality of an adult, he was not restricted by the rules of this adult world.

In short, he had to do what he could first and start the work...

Cleaning the cabin required a cloth, cleaning solution, broom, and dustpan; he also needed to sort out a trash container for the waste.

But it would be too easy to be discovered if he took these items from home, as telling your parents this is some kind of summer social practice would obviously raise their disbelief; they would insist on checking it out themselves no matter what.

Fang You decided to use money to buy new ones instead.

As Fang You couldn't carry all these items in two hands, he added a foldable hand cart to the shopping list.

Just as Fang You was ready and about to leave the house, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Fang You opened the door to find Luo Xianyu standing there, her face beaming as she dangled a paper crane in front of Fang You:

"Dad! Want to play with paper folding today? Nuo Nuo can't go out, let's go to her house and keep her company."

"Hmm... you go and play with Nuo Nuo, I have something to do today."

Luo Xianyu looked curiously at Fang You, who was about to leave, "Dad, are you going for a martial arts class?"

"Not exactly."

Fang You said, "It's something else."

"Then what is it?"

Luo Xianyu was somewhat curious.

"Hmm..."

Although Luo Xianyu would very likely eventually become a member of the secret base, considering her delicate nature and how she was often timid and prone to tears, Fang You didn't feel the desire to have her help him work.

She would definitely be more of a hindrance!

Meanwhile, Luo Xianyu, realizing how Fang You was appraising her, suddenly sensed something.

[Luo Xianyu feels that you might be expecting something from her! Emotional Energy +3]

"Can Ayu be of help, dad?"

Luo Xianyu clenched her tiny fists earnestly, "Now that Nuo Nuo is still recuperating, isn't Ayu the only one you can rely on, dad?"

"It's okay, dad, just tell Ayu directly if you need help."

Luo Xianyu patted her chest confidently, "Dad always takes such good care of Ayu, Ayu can do anything to help you."

"Hmm..."

Since she had put it that way, turning down Ayu now felt like it would make her cry...

Luo Xianyu had lacked her father's companionship since she was little, the parents were very considerate towards her, and even Xia Nuo and Fang You usually would indulge her a bit more, taking extra care of her. Thus, factually speaking, Ayu was the most pampered child in their circle.

She had suffered less hardship than Nuo Nuo.

Meaning, if he didn't include Ayu now and she ended up crying, and if her mother found out and blamed him, the whole secret base project might be jeopardized.

6400 points of knowledge energy!

He can't just give up like that!

Fang You suddenly realized that Ayu could also be considered a BOSS.

"Dad, would it be alright?"

Luo Xianyu's eyes shone, "Let Ayu help you."

"The things I'm going to do next, you must promise not to tell anyone else, only then can I tell you."

"..."

Luo Xianyu looked a bit nervous, as if unsure whether to agree.

"Can't you promise?"

Luo Xianyu hesitated, swinging the paper crane in her hand.

"Is it... not even to Nuo Nuo?"

Luo Xianyu muttered with her head down, "I have lots of secrets with Nuo Nuo that dad doesn't know about, now I'm going to have secrets with dad too, Ayu is such a bad girl."

"Well... it's not really a secret, you can tell Nuo Nuo, it was originally discussed with me by Nuo Nuo anyway."

"Ah, is that so? Then Ayu is relieved."

Luo Xianyu seemed to sigh with relief, "So, what is dad planning to do?"

So, Fang You went ahead and told Luo Xianyu about the plan to convert the small cabin into a secret base.

"Ah..."

Luo Xianyu seemed somewhat reluctant, "That place is dirty, and Ayu doesn't like staying there all the time."
