Becoming a life winner from infancy

During the time Ayu was drawing up the plan, Fang You had been working hard to advance Lin Mengran's special teaching progress.

In the second week of special tutoring, Fang You tried various methods to ignite Lin Mengran's passion for learning, with the most effective being a signed photo of Xia Anyang.

Taking this as a starting point, Fang You organized and categorized all sorts of details about Xia Anyang's lifestyle habits, tempting Lin Mengran into making a serious effort through a system of achievements and levels to conquer.

Scoring an average test score of 72, the passing line, would unlock Xia Anyang's publicly sharable personal information—his favorite fruit is strawberry butt, his least liked vegetable is carrots, and what songs are on his car's music playlist, among other things.

Scoring an average test score above 90 would grant access to the unknown trials and tribulations of Xia Anyang, like the story behind how he formed his band.

Xia Nuo and Fang You had retold these stories many times, and with Fang You having "Extraordinary Memory" Talent, he remembered them very clearly—

But whether Nuo Nuo made any slips, he couldn't guarantee.

Scoring an average test score above 100 would unlock the highest level of privilege—a chance to have dinner and participate in a family feast with Xia Anyang!

Although Lin Mengran was a relative of Lin Yi's, they seldom interacted, so her closeness certainly couldn't compare to Fang You's, who was with Xia Nuo's family day and night. Simply inviting a tutor to have a meal at home was a very relaxed affair for Fang You and Xia Anyang, given their familiarity.

By using Xia Anyang's personal information as a reward to motivate Lin Mengran, Fang You didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about it.

Forgive me, uncle. I'm still a child. And after all, everything I do is for Nuo Nuo!

If you could figure out a way to get Nuo Nuo into Zhendan Academy yourself, I wouldn't have to bother!

Emperor Youyou would never look for faults in himself because he was a paragon of perfection.

He never makes mistakes!

Thus, with the establishment of Fang You's reward system and various short-term goals, Lin Mengran's enthusiasm for learning was significantly mobilized, and her eagerness to study each day saw a rapid increase. At first glance, it seemed like there was hope!

However, after a few tests, Lin Mengran began to slack off gradually.

"Your reward thresholds are too high. Can't we start with me scoring 50 points?"

Looking at an assortment of test papers with an average score below 30 points, Lin Mengran didn't show any self-awareness of being an utter failure. Instead, she pouted and began spinning her pen, bargaining with Fang You.

[Host's emotional turmoil detected, [Forced Calm] is being triggered, Forced Calm is being activated...]

[You are experiencing the feeling of suppressing anger, knowledge Energy +100]

Fang You's composed expression faded in an instant, and Lin Mengran was completely unaware of the catastrophe she had just narrowly avoided.

The rage of the Great Emperor, where one could neither live nor die!

Fang You, calm and composed, reverted to his usual state of absolute rationality and began contemplating the next step in his strategy.

But the instability of foundational knowledge was still a significant problem, one that couldn't be solved simply by grinding through practice questions.

She still saw this special training as a game with rewards, entirely lacking the sense of a grand mission like his.

Since the carrot approach only got this far, it's time for you to experience the stick!

"If you keep this attitude up, then we may have to intensify our learning plan," Fang You said.

"I'm already trying so hard in my studies. I study for 5 hours a day!" Lin Mengran claimed righteously, "What more do you want from me!? If I study any longer, I'll die."

"I'm not going to be strict about how many hours you study. What I want is for you to memorize and understand the high school foundational knowledge points I've organized for you. Starting tomorrow, I will check on your accumulation of knowledge points," Fang You stated.

"If I memorize it all, you can help me arrange to have dinner with my cousin-in-law?" Lin Mengran asked.

Memorizing knowledge points is what you should do," Fang You replied with a serious tone, "But if you don't memorize them, then I will have to punish you."

"Oh, you're going to punish me?"

Lin Mengran rested her chin in her hands, her face donning a standard mocking expression, "I may not be as smart as you, but at least I'm a high school student, and you're just an elementary pupil... what can you do to me?"

You haven't even grown a full set of pubes yet, hehehe...

"You'll find out when the time comes," Fang You said, handing her the summarized key points of knowledge. "I hope you don't ask for trouble and later say I didn't warn you."

The next day after school, Lin Mengran visited Fang You while yawning.

"Didn't memorize it after all, huh."

"I studied too late last night," Lin Mengran said laughing, wiping a tear from her eye, "I've been really amazing lately..."

Just then, Fang You interrupted Lin Mengran, speaking softly:

"Over the eight wastelands."

"Unbeatable only I!" Lin Mengran excitedly responded, "You watch Eight Wastelands band's live streams too? That band is awesome, you know, they got to hold a concert at the Yingdu Dome in just three years, something we can't even dare to dream of—"

Before Lin Mengran could finish, she felt a sudden gust whisk by her face, causing her eyes to reflexively blink.

At that moment, Fang You opened his palm to show Lin Mengran.

In her hand now were two black hairs.

Lin Mengran was struck with terror and hurriedly took out a small mirror from her bag to check, and indeed, those two hairs were plucked from her own body.
