Becoming a life winner from infancy-Chapter 452 - 360 takes on this responsibility
Fang You had not anticipated that the random task he had been looking forward to would be triggered under such circumstances.
The real reason why Jiang Chao left?
Do I still need to find that out?
Fang You’s "Mind Catcher" had already captured what had happened to Jiang Chao last night.
The reason Jiang Chao left was because he was scared by my ghost story, so he was scared into withdrawing from school, right?
[System prompt: This task will automatically complete after the host understands the real reason behind Jiang Chao’s withdrawal from school, and there is no need for meaningless self-expression.]
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
...
Is that what it means.
Since the system has explained it like this, Fang You probably understood the situation now.
Just like the rules in the turtle soup game, only when the story details are recounted to match the original broth infinitely close, the answer to the turtle soup is considered successfully discovered.
In that case, I just need to confirm more clues about Jiang Chao’s departure to automatically complete this random task.
The fastest method, of course, would be to ask Jiang Chao directly.
But Jiang Chao has already left, and asking him directly wouldn’t yield any good results either.
Since that’s the case...
I might as well follow the arrangement of the "Dawn Council" and search for information related to Jiang Chao together.
Xia Nuo mentioned in the winter camp group chat an activity to write encouraging words to Jiang Chao, which garnered some responses from the classmates.

But then again, we only knew each other for less than three days, and there might not even have been a chance to talk to each other.
Not everyone is a handsome boy like Fang You.
But for the sake of Fang You and Xia Nuo, everyone still responded actively.
Therefore, Fang You, Xia Nuo, and Ke Lan also had the chance to ask everyone about the last time they saw Ke Lan.
So far, the last and latest one to see Ke Lan was probably Zhang Jiahao.
He said it was after the first story was finished, he asked Ke Lan if he wanted to go to the washroom together, but Ke Lan refused.
This was around 8:30 PM.
As for related suspicious clues, other than a few people mentioning seeing Ke Lan talking with Zhang Jiahao, there were no others.
After all, Zhang Jiahao’s albinism-like appearance without eyebrows is quite distinctive.
"It feels like there’s no clue to break the case!"
The passion for detective role-playing by Detective Xia Nuo was gradually fading, "The door of truth seems to have closed on me."
"After all, everyone lacks that kind of vigilance; it’s impossible to pay attention to someone insignificant around them."
Fang You thought for a while, "Apart from finding out information among the fellow classmates, I think it’s worth exploring Jiang Chao’s dormitory."
"But Jiang Chao has already left the winter camp now, and his dormitory door won’t be open, right?"
"This is where I need to step in!"
Xu Lingyi stepped forward, putting his arms around the shoulders of Xia Nuo and Fang You, "Hurry, take me to your boys’ dormitory. I have a trick!"
Fang You appeared somewhat surprised, "You can crack the dormitory’s smart door lock?"
"This is simple, just need to copy a record of Jiang Chao’s access. Jiang Chao just left today, the school won’t cancel his access so quickly."
As Xu Lingyi spoke, he placed his wristband against the door, and with a click, the door actually opened.
Fang You also greatly admired Xu Lingyi’s capability.
Although both have SS-level talent, Xu Lingyi’s talent is really quite handy, huh?
After opening the door, Xia Nuo suddenly pulled out her detective role-play prop from her pocket—
It was a magnifying glass!
"The props are quite well-prepared."
"I actually wanted to get a pipe too, but I couldn’t find a suitable one, so I just let it go."
Jiang Chao’s dormitory was very messy, with various papers and junk thrown all over the floor, and even a red cotton sock was hanging.
Clearly, the former owner left in a hurry.
But there’s one thing very strange...
Fang You noticed an issue.
Everyone saw Jiang Chao for the last time past 8:30 PM; didn’t anyone see Jiang Chao in the boys’ dormitory in between?
At this moment, Xia Nuo moved closer to Jiang Chao’s desk, and holding the magnifying glass, she seemed to have found something.
"What are these paper balls for? Why are they stuffed full in the trash can—could there be clues inside—"
As Xia Nuo was about to get closer to the paper balls, Fang You quickly covered her nose and then controlled her.
"I, I will check the dormitory myself; you guys wait outside."
"Ah, it’s just those billions of dead little lives, what’s there to be embarrassed to tell Nuo Nuo."
Xu Lingyi stretched out lazily on the side, teasing Fang You with a raised eyebrow, "How about... you’re not planning to teach Nuo Nuo this, how will she have babies with you in the future?"
"That’s none of your business."
Fang You’s voice was somewhat cold, driving Xu Lingyi and Xia Nuo away, and both were laughing and shouting as they were driven out.
[You think letting Nuo Nuo become aware of adult matters is too much! Knowledge Energy +100]
At this moment, Fang You was gradually beginning to understand the pain Uncle An Yang usually felt.
However, although Xu Lingyi is somewhat overly socially anxious, what she said does make some sense.
Education about emotional issues in Hua Country has always been incredibly oppressive and lacking.
Sooner or later, Nuo Nuo was bound to understand and come into contact with these things—she at least needed the knowledge.
Zhendan Academy should teach it.
But if they don’t... I guess I’ll have to take on that responsibility myself.
While Fang You was pondering whether he should give Nuo Nuo and Yu a brief overview of this knowledge when he had the chance, he carefully searched Jiang Chao’s dorm room.
The dorm room contained nothing but personal belongings and stacks of waste and scrap paper.
Jiang Chao seemed to have a habit of practicing handwriting, but not with a brush. He was practicing his own signature.
Jiang Chao was trying to make his signature feel very boss-like, all in rough strokes.
As Fang You was flipping through the papers, a small notebook fell out from between the scraps.
Fang You opened it and saw that it was Jiang Chao’s notebook; the title page read "Winter Camp Realities," likely a diary of the winter camp.
Who the hell writes a diary?
Jiang Chao was indeed recording his daily life, probably thinking he could use these records to reminisce after becoming an officer.
Fang You opened the diary and started looking for relevant clues.
[Day One]
[Zhendan Academy is a bit more comfortable than I expected; it feels like I can make a lot of impressive friends here.]
[Dragon City truly deserves to be the capital of Hua Country. If I could be an officer in this city one day, it would indeed surpass my forefathers’ achievements.]
[Even though all the top students come from all corners of the country, they don’t seem very impressive, and none are particularly beautiful. The few somewhat attractive girls are fervently clustering around a very effeminate man.]
[They are still too young to know what true power is; once they see me at work, they’ll be scrambling to please me.]
[That’s what my dad and grandpa always said.]
[Day Two]
[Today I saw that cowboy knight buying underwear at the supermarket; it was that hacker who came out in the end. Speaking of which, that sissy might be a woman? Suddenly, I had a wicked thought.]
[Day Two]
[Today, that cowboy knight slapped me; my brains were almost splattered. That guy was just yesterday’s most arrogant one in class; it turns out being handsome allows you to do whatever you want. The selection of the class leader also proved it directly.]
[Day Three]
[Zhendan Academy is also into this kind of formalism with quality expansion training. It’s so disappointing. Sports aren’t essential for an aspiring officer, who prefers elegant sports like tennis and golf.]
[Day Four]
[This place is really terrifying as fuck.]
[I don’t want to stay here anymore.]
[I want to go back!!! I want to go back!!!]
...
Well, I have to say.
Jiang Chao’s use of exclamations does give off the vibe of a diary from a horror film experimenter.
Fang You exited Jiang Chao’s dorm and showed Jiang Chao’s notebook to Xia Nuo and Xu Lingyi.
After reading it, the color drained from their faces.
Xia Nuo swallowed hard, and Xu Lingyi, while hugging her own arms, muttered to herself:
"It seems... Jiang Chao must have seen something dirty last night!"
Xia Nuo nodded his head, "Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so anxious to run away."
"He heard something..."
Xu Lingyi said, "Didn’t you forget? Last night there indeed was a scream heard, wasn’t there?"
"It would be great if we could find the record from last night."
Xu Lingyi sighed, "So is there no one who saw what it was?"
"Our class did have someone say they saw something run by with very long ears."
Very long ears...
Fang You reviewed the records of harvesting Emotional Energy from last night and indeed found Jiang Chao’s shocked description of seeing a bizarre creature.}
...
Without a doubt, it was this thing that terrified Jiang Chao last night.}
And what else...
Meanwhile, he could clearly see another very concerning text description.
The description came from senior Yue Yipei, who had an undeniable alibi.
Using the "Extraordinary Memory" ability, Fang You revisited last night’s memory scenes which she was not actually in, but provided the most Emotional Energy.
This meant that she also listened to Fang You’s ghost story.
Since Fang You didn’t know about Yue Yipei being terrified at the time, he definitely wouldn’t remember it now.
But today, Yue Yipei’s expression during the morning meeting was indeed very uncomfortable, seemingly having been affected by something.
Fang You inherently had the talent for telling ghost stories; even when not using special aids, he could scare children away from kindergarten, and now with the horror atmosphere aid, he naturally became a bit more unrestrained.
Could that shadowy figure be related to Yue Yipei?}
