Becoming a life winner from infancy

Fang You was now a [Craftsman lv3]!

The skills within the same trade are often interrelated, so if you're good at origami, your carpentry is unlikely to be bad either. If you don't believe me, give it a try!

Fang You came to Luo Xianyu with the wood he had sawn.

"Come on, Ayu, help me hold this here."

"Whimper... Ayu is scared."

Luo Xianyu said, "If daddy's hammer hits Ayu's hand, Ayu's fingers will turn into caviar!"

"How could they possibly turn into that sort of thing?"

Seeing Luo Xianyu shivering, Fang You silently sighed.

Ayu really wasn't as useful as Nuo Nuo...

After all, she was just a salted fish.

Fang You called the almost-sleeping Luo Xianyu to leave with him when it was time for a meal and even walked her to her door on the way back.

Because he had been busy with the remodeling plans all day, Fang You went to bed early after his bath.

That night, he had a dream.

He dreamed that he had fashioned a manned space rocket with his own hands, and before Astronaut Xia Nuo departed, she waved goodbye to Fang You.

"Goodbye, You You, I will miss you!"

"Ten, nine, eight, seven—"

"Oh no, I have to catch the rocket!"

Xia Nuo kissed Fang You on the forehead, then put on her astronaut helmet.

"I will silently protect you from above!"

"Please don't forget me, okay?"

"Three, two, one, ignition!"

"Launch!"

Fang You abruptly opened his eyes.

The sunlight outside the window was incredibly brilliant.

But his body felt extremely heavy.

Not because of the heaviness the dream brought him.

It was really heavy!

Fang You threw back the covers and found a short-haired little girl giggling into her hand as she lay on his chest.

After being caught in the act, Xia Nuo immediately sat up on Fang You.

Blinking her big eyes, she made a playful gesture at Fang You:

"Wah! I'm going to eat you up, You You! Hoo hoo hoo..."

Fang You didn't react to Xia Nuo's silly behavior, instead just calmly watching her, which made Xia Nuo feel a bit embarrassed.

"Hmm... good morning, You You."

Xia Nuo waved to Fang You as a greeting.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Actually, I got better yesterday! Daddy wouldn't let me go out and told me to rest at home for a few more days."

Xia Nuo pouted reluctantly.

"Didn't he say to rest for a few more days?"

"No way, I want to go and remodel our secret base so much."

Xia Nuo stuck out her tongue, "You You, did you start remodeling the secret base yesterday?"

"Yeah."

As Xia Nuo looked at him, Fang You added, "Ayu and I worked on it, but it's not finished yet."

"I know, Ayu told me last night. She said she did a lot of remodeling work with you, and it was a very tiring day. Both of you worked extra hard."

She? She didn't do anything...

Xia Nuo said, "I called Ayu this morning, and she didn't answer. Maybe she's still tired and sleeping, we'll call her again this afternoon. By the way... Do we need to buy anything else?"

"Yes, we need to buy a ladder, and windows too..."

"How are you going to install the windows?"

Xia Nuo curiously asked, "I think, for that broken glass window, curtains might be enough."

"If it's not sealed, we'll probably get a lot of bugs, you know."

But in a cabin in the woods, it's hard to say bugs won't invade, after all.

By then, Ayu is sure to panic.

"Yeah, that is a problem... show me your list, let me see if there's anything to add."

From a young age, Fang You never caused any worries for his family; his excessive maturity often made the people around him feel dependent on him and they rarely questioned or negated his ideas. It was difficult for people to get close to him.

But Xia Nuo would discuss things with Fang You, asking about his intentions and offering her thoughts and suggestions.

Beyond that, she really could be of help to him.

At least she would help carry stuff for me.

Nuo Nuo is way more useful than Ayu!

Fang You and Xia Nuo, carrying loads of renovation materials, passed through the Gushan Park's uphill path, dodged the view of a few pedestrians, and stealthily arrived at the little cabin in the woods.

"Wow, it's already so much more spacious and clean compared to the last time I saw it!"

"You and Ayu have done so much!"

Xia Nuo, holding Fang You's hand, hopped excitedly, "Aren't you even more eager to build a secret base than I am!"

"Anyway, we need to hurry up and finish this."

Xia Nuo and Fang You were busy knocking and patching up the little cabin.

Although Xia Nuo had little experience, Fang You patiently taught her how to use the tools. With her enthusiasm for learning and her not-so-bad hands-on ability, apart from the dangerous operations which Fang You took care of himself, Xia Nuo could already do a lot of things on her own!

She could hold up wooden planks and ladders, and even hold nails in place.

"Come on, You You, hammer it in."

"You're really not afraid that I'll hit your hand, huh."

"Because You You is always on point."

Ayu might be quite useless, but that sort of reaction would seem more like a typical girl's.

But when it comes to Nuo Nuo, she really seems fearless.

[Congratulations on unlocking the profession: Carpenter lv1]

[Professional Evaluation: Your level of handiwork is all achieved through self-learning and effort, without much use of system hacks. You are becoming more and more impressive! This might be the talent you were born with, and as long as you want to, you could be the new generation craftsman!]

After Fang You nailed in the wooden planks to fix the windows and the ceiling, thereby finishing the whole cabin's repair work.

"Wow, won't it be a bit dark like this?"

Xia Nuo pointed at the hole in the ceiling that Fang You had just patched up, "I think we can make an opening, so light can get in."

"If it rains, everything inside the cabin will get wet. Let's leave it like this for now. We're just making a simple renovation to at least make it weatherproof."

Fang You checked off the repair tasks on the progress list.

This kind of renovation is only a basic form. To completely transform this place into a secret base that would satisfy Fang You, he would need to learn more sophisticated architectural design knowledge.

It's time to unlock the designer profession...

Fang You and Xia Nuo worked until midday, and upon checking the time, they decided it was about time to rest.

"Time to go back for lunch."

"You You, can I eat at your place?" Xia Nuo asked Fang You.

"Why?"

Xia Nuo stuck out her tongue, "I kind of sneaked out today. I'm afraid if I go back, my dad will scold me again. Aunt Chen will protect me, so I can continue to work peacefully."

"You, you... are really something."

Fang You now couldn't bear to upset Xia Anyang anymore, his daughter was daring indeed.

"After lunch, we should go find Ayu!"

"Yeah, yeah."

Xia Nuo and Fang You finished lunch quickly at home, then left early using the excuse of going to play at Ayu's to invite Ayu to the cabin to help transform the secret base.

Among the discarded junk in the old cabin were wooden stumps that could be used as chairs. A folding table that served as a workbench was something Fang You had purchased the day before while shopping with Luo Xianyu. With this, the third small task was also completed.

Sitting on a wooden stump chair, Xia Nuo crossed her arms, looking proudly at the arrangements in front of her:

"With this, our secret base is established!"

After inspecting the simple setup inside the cabin, Xia Nuo fell into thought, "Now that we have a table and chairs, if we had a big bed it would be nice..."

"You really want to spend the night in this place?"

Fang You frowned slightly, "We don't even have electricity here."

"No, it's not that. Ling Nai is coming over next week, we could let Ling Nai stay overnight here."

Well... you're really kind, Ling Nai should thank you.

"Right, I remember she said she wanted to come over and play for a while during the summer vacation, why hasn't she come by now..."

"Huh, Ling Nai didn't call you?"

Xia Nuo asked puzzledly, "She said she's coming to play tomorrow. I thought for sure she had already called you."

"Nope..."

Even with smartwatches nowadays, which make communication very convenient, if two people have not experienced something together for a long time, it feels like there isn't much to talk about, even with daily video calls.

On reflection, since the new year, Asai Reina indeed hadn't been in contact for a while.

Sitting in the chair, Fang You suddenly remembered something important.

To complete the task, he needed four teammates...

Himself, Nuo Nuo, Ayu...

Including Ling Nai, that would just make four.

It seems like her timing couldn't be better!
