“Mom, I have something to tell you,” Cheng Nuo said with a smile as he diligently massaged Jiang Lan’s shoulders.

“Yes?” Jiang Lan nodded, signaling Cheng Nuo to continue. She was in a good mood.

“Well… could you lend me 200 Yuan?” Cheng Nuo asked, rubbing his hands in anxiety. “I’d like to buy more study materials since the Gaokao is coming.”

“Really? Have you not bought enough?” Jiang Lan asked, puzzled.

A sense of guilt suddenly crossed Cheng Nuo’s mind.

Although Cheng Nuo’s parents were rather strict about how much pocket money they gave him, they were extremely generous when it came to his study needs.

Both of his parents had low education levels. Neither of them had gone to college. Hence, they had high expectations of Cheng Nuo.

They had never hesitated to spend on Cheng Nuo’s education.

Can you imagine how Cheng Nuo felt when he saw his bookshelf cluttered with revision materials?

He almost thought that his parents loved his grades more than himself!

“Oh. Our teacher asked us to buy some new books,” Cheng Nuo lied. He had trained himself to be calm enough when lying.

He wanted the money, no matter what it would take.

Actually, it was a half-truth. Indeed, he wanted to buy some books, but not for his studies.

Cheng Nuo already had enough revision materials that would last until his children’s Gaokaos. He had better things to do than buying even more books.

He had his own plans for the 200 Yuan.

Jiang Lan trusted Cheng Nuo. She fished out 200 Yuan from her wallet and passed it to Cheng Nuo without hesitation.

“Take it. I’ll buy more revision practice books for you if you need more.”

“Don’t worry. It’s enough…” Cheng Nuo waved his hand at once. “I don’t need any more practice.

“Okay. I won’t disturb you guys any further. I need to go and study.”

Cheng Nuo ended the conversation immediately and returned to his bedroom.

“Floor: 12th, height: 40.54 m, length: 62.48 m, width: 54.24 m, Area: 3388.92 m cubed, number of households: 36, brightness: 10 sb [1. Surface brightness, a parameter used to describe the brightness of objects, especially galaxies]…”

“Height: 175.87 cm, weight: 85.24 kg, lung capacity: 4002, brightness: 2 sb…”

“Speed: 54 km/h, weight: 3214 kg, Brightness: 15…”

Dressed in a hoodie, Cheng Nuo leaned on the balcony and studied the city under the night sky using his special power.

Even though the sky was pitch black and there were things invisible to his eyes, Cheng Nuo was still able to sense them through their statistical inputs. This made Cheng Nuo feel as if the entire world was under his control.

Cheng Nuo spread his arms to embrace the world.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew into Cheng Nuo’s collar.

“Achew! So cold!”

Cheng Nuo closed the balcony at once. He went back to his room, shivering.

“Wind speed: 8.7 m/s, temperature: 8.2 degrees Celsius.” Cheng Nuo’s eyes provided accurate numbers.

“Is it going to rain?” Cheng Nuo wrapped himself under the blanket and looked up at the moonless sky.

“Humidity: 92.41%.”

“It’s probably going to rain, then.”

As expected, the spring rain fell after half an hour.
