2 Speed of Life and Death

Cheng Nuo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Cheng Nan was not following him.

He had to be careful in the future. Anyway, his special power could be activated without having to stare at someone. He just had to take a glance and all the data would appear in his vision.

Cheng Nuo reminded himself of this.

After finding out another use for his special power, Cheng Nuo felt good. He hummed a song while he rode his bicycle and moved towards his school.

Cheng Nuo was a year three student in the Second High School of Qing Cheng.

After about two months, he would take the high school exam with a few million other candidates.

His lessons started at 8 AM. Cheng Nuo had left his house at 7:40 AM. He had wasted some time downstairs with Cheng Nan, so he had little time left.

Thankfully, his house was not too far from the school. If he cycled at the highest speed, he would only need 11 to 12 minutes to reach his school.

Cheng Nuo rode his bicycle while looking at the objects he passed by.

The data of those objects appeared in his eyes.

Tree: "Height: 3.21 m, weight: 520.12 kg, 325 branches, 65,412 leaves."

The five-story building: "Height: 14.21 m, area: 113.24 square meters…"

A car that zoomed past him: "Weight: 2874 kg, speed: 85 km/h…"

…

The immense amount of data accumulated in Cheng Nuo's head.

However, surprisingly, despite the influx of data, Cheng Nuo did not feel overwhelmed.

Instead, Cheng Nuo's brain could categorize the data. Whenever he needed the information, he could do a simple search in his brain.

Moreover, Cheng Nuo realized that this data would not disappear as time passed. His brain was like a hard disk that stored all the data.

Cheng Nuo was extremely excited when he discovered that.

Was this the legendary ability that allowed him to remember everything he saw? Cheng Nuo felt extremely happy.

However, Cheng Nuo realized that this ability had limitations.

For data or numbers, his brain could save them like a hard disk.

However, just like before, Cheng Nuo forgot words, like the words on billboards and store names, immediately.

However… that was better than nothing!

Cheng Nuo comforted himself.

…

Cheng Nuo raised his arm. His watch showed 7:53 AM.

"Seven minutes, I have to speed up!"

If he continued travelling at his current speed, he would probably be late. He sat up straight, put strength in his legs, and rushed over to the school.

Based on his data, he was travelling at 18.25 kilometers per hour, almost the limit of his bicycle. It was extremely dangerous for him to be travelling at this speed.

However, thinking about how he would get nagged by Old Man Tang if he was late, he sped up even more.

Oh, Old Man Tang was his form teacher. He had been given his name because he liked to nag like Tang Seng1. Once he started nagging, he would nag for one or two hours.

When Cheng Nuo remembered how Old Man Tang had scolded him in the office for two lessons because he was late, he shuddered in fear.

The bicycle was extremely fast. The trees along the pavement became blurry.

Soon, Cheng Nuo reached the last junction before the school.

Cheng Nuo looked up at the traffic light. Hmm, it was a green light and he had five more seconds. It should be sufficient time.

In his mind, Cheng Nuo calculated with his special power that he should be able to get across the junction based on his current speed.

Moreover, Cheng Nuo could not miss the light, as he had no time to wait for the next green light.

Without hesitation, Cheng Nuo decided to speed across the road.

A small, red car sped across the road with him.

However, just as Cheng Nuo reached the center of the road junction, something happened.

Cheng Nuo was travelling in the east-west direction. At that moment, a truck that was carrying rocks sped across the road in the north-south direction.

Meanwhile, the truck began to honk.

Di! Didi—

Cheng Nuo saw the truck and was scared to death.

Meanwhile, the data of the truck flashed across his eyes. "Weight: 9,542 kg, speed: 45 km/h."

Even though the truck was not travelling fast, he would die if a truck that weighed almost ten tons crashed into him!

The driver of the car beside Cheng Nuo also realized that he was in danger.

The driver of the car was calm and reacted swiftly. The car increased its speed and sped towards the front left. Even though… there were many cars that were waiting to cross the road.

Cheng Nuo did not freeze. He used all his energy to avoid the truck.

However, he realized that he would be doomed at the next moment.

The red car appeared in front of Cheng Nuo and blocked his entire path.

That meant that if Cheng Nuo wanted to head forward, he could only follow behind the red car, and he would definitely get knocked down by the truck if he was at that position.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The truck was only about ten meters away from Cheng Nuo when he realized that he was doomed.

It would probably knock him down in the next instant.

At that moment, Cheng Nuo's brain was clear. All the data was calculated at the speed of lightning in his mind.

"The truck is travelling at 44.54 kilometers per hour, the resulting wind speed around it is 2.14 meters per second. The bicycle is travelling at 19.02 kilometers per hour and the distance between the bicycle and the truck is 10.54 meters, angle is 10.56 degrees, and with the impact time being 0.68 seconds, impact being 1,201 kilograms…"

Cheng Nuo's brain was like a calculator that calculated the data of the car accident.

"I need to travel at a speed of 15.24 kilometers per hour with an angle of 5.34 degrees. I have to travel in the northwest direction at 14.27 degrees…"

With the astonishment and fear from onlookers, Cheng Nuo used all his energy to turn the bicycle to 14.27 degrees facing the northwest. Meanwhile, he pressed the bicycle's brake to lower his speed to 15.24 kilometers per hour. Cheng Nuo's body tilted slightly so that his bicycle would tilt to 5.34 degrees, while he…

All these movements were completed in less than 0.5 seconds based on the super calculations done with Cheng Nuo's brain.

Meanwhile, as expected, the truck reached where Cheng Nuo was.
