Cheng Nuo said the last sentence slowly with his hands behind his back. “That is all I have to say, you can choose to believe it or not.”

Cheng Nuo had no choice but to make this claim in order for Guan Cheng to believe him.

“You…”

Guan Cheng’s mouth opened so wide that he could swallow an entire fist.

To be honest, Cheng Nuo’s claim had scared Guan Cheng. One could never be too careful.

What if… Cheng Nuo’s claim was real?

“You… you are not lying?” Guan Cheng swallowed his saliva.

“No.” Cheng Nuo was not lying and hence said with confidence, “Let me ask you: how long has it been since your mother has gone for a health checkup?”

“About… six months.”

“That is terrible. You should bring your mother for a full body checkup. You will be able to tell after the result is out.”

“All… right. I will bring her to the hospital later.”

It was true that it had been a while since his mother had a full body checkup. He would head to the hospital today. Even if she was completely fine, there was no loss. However, if she really had cancer… Then Cheng Nuo was really a descendant of an ancient family with a medicinal background.

“Mom, let’s go and have lunch first. Then I will bring you to the hospital for a checkup.”

“Why are we going to the hospital? I am not ill, I am very healthy.”

“Mom, who says that you can’t go to the hospital if you are not ill? This is for prevention. Moreover, it has been six months since your last checkup.”

“Alright, I shall do what my son says.”

…

Saving one’s life brought Cheng Nuo much luck. Cheng Nuo’s luck finally improved and a businessman in a suit bought all the remaining plush toys. That helped Cheng Nuo save a lot of time.

“One gets repaid for his good intentions!” said Cheng Nuo after he put the 1,250 Yuan into his wallet.

With a starting investment of 50 Yuan, he had made 25 times that amount.

“Hmph! I can be considered someone who has 1,000 Yuan.”

How did the saying go?

“I, an 18-year-old young man, managed to make 1,250 Yuan in one day. Adding the pocket money from my mom, I have 1,500 Yuan. For these past few years, I have been living a rather difficult life. Now that I have become this rich, I have no idea how to spend my money. I can finally splurge. In the past, I had to bring a bottle of water to go to the internet cafe. Now I can order their iced tea. In fact, I can buy two bottles. When I eat cup noodles, I can afford to add two sausages. I feel extremely unused to this lifestyle, but what can I do?”

After appreciating his life and thinking about his future, Cheng Nuo reminded himself to not be pompous because of his current wealth. Cheng Nuo flagged down a taxi and went to the biggest bookstore in Qing Cheng.

Cheng Nuo had planned to head to the bookstore yesterday, but… You know the reason, Cheng Nuo’s money was gone because of one meal.

Today, Cheng Nuo had made a comeback with 1,000 Yuan.

Buy, buy, buy!

Cheng Nuo bought three types of books: computing, finance, and difficult math questions. For example, Goldbach’s conjecture and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture.

He bought over 20 books, which weighed 24.57 kilograms, had 13,247 pages and 18,574,243 words in total. They cost him 687 Yuan total.

Thankfully, it was within Cheng Nuo’s budget.

Programming and finance were the two subjects that Cheng Nuo was more interested in. Also, his special power was very useful in these two fields. Cheng Nuo was planning to take one of these two subjects as his major in university.

As for the books with difficult math questions, Cheng Nuo had noble aspirations!

He wanted to solve the world’s difficult math questions! Yes, he wanted to solve them!

Cheng Nuo had immense confidence in math. No matter how difficult the questions were, they were still math.

One would receive a huge reward if one managed to solve the math questions. The rewards ranged from $10,000 to $100,000 USD, with the latter being the reward for solving the famous questions like “Goldbach’s conjecture”, especially the proof for the final step of “1+1”!

“I, Cheng Nuo, definitely want the money!”

Cheng Nuo was extremely ambitious!

As for what happened after that… Hehe, Cheng Nuo reminded himself of his goals every time he recalled this moment.

…

For the next week, Cheng Nuo focused on studying for english, chinese language, and biology in school. When he went back home, he began to read the 20 over books he had purchased.

Although Cheng Nuo was good at data, that did not mean he was good at understanding problems. Cheng Nuo had no experience or knowledge in finance and programming. He had to figure out the keywords by himself, and it was extremely complicated. Cheng Nuo felt that he could not cope with them.

He had to finish reading the books he bought even if he cried!

Cheng Nuo was not sure what would happen in the future. However, there was nothing wrong with improving continuously.

…

On Friday, at the basketball court of the Second High School of Qing Cheng…

The deafening cheers broke the silence of the peaceful school.

Cheng Nuo easily made a goal that determined the outcome of the match.

Class 18 made it to the finals!

“Cheng Nuo, you have to work hard for finals!” A female student who Cheng Nuo had never met before passed him a bottle of water and ran away shyly.

Cheng Nuo was stunned when he looked at the water that was still warm from the girl’s body temperature.

“Hahaha.” When Lin Hu saw that, he came and patted Cheng Nuo’s shoulder and said while giving him a look, “See, Cheng Nuo, I told you, you will be liked by many girls if you are willing to play for us. Do you know who the girl who passed you water is? Sun Yue, she’s the prettiest girl of class six. So, are you interested in dating?”

Cheng Nuo opened the lid of the bottle and gulped down the water. He wiped his mouth and said, “Forget it, she’s not my type.”

Cheng Nuo gradually became a legendary character in his school. The reason was because of his legendary shooting skills.

No matter where he threw the ball from, he would score. Of course, Cheng Nuo had missed intentionally in the first match. That was his only miss!

From the preliminary rounds to finals, class 18 had four matches. Cheng Nuo made 105 shots and scored 104 times. That included 48 three-pointers, 53 two-pointers, and three penalty shots.

Cheng Nuo’s “godlike” performance on the court and his handsome look attracted many girls.

After a few matches, there were many girls who came forward to cheer him up and show affection.
