After finishing the Mathematical Olympiad group's study activities, Locke returned to the single dormitory he was assigned to, holding the books he borrowed from the library.

The environment of the school is good, and the surrounding security, transportation, leisure, shopping and other conditions are very good. After Locke entered high school at the age of sixteen, he chose to live on campus and completely left the orphanage.

The layout of the dormitory is similar to a one-bedroom, one-bathroom single apartment, with an area of ​​about thirty square meters, which is enough for Locke at this stage.

After washing, changing, and hanging up his school uniform, Locke sat down first, reached out and took out a book, rubbed the cover carefully, and saw an introduction to judo written on it. It was a modern printed book.

After opening the cover and looking at it for about five or six seconds, a translucent dialog box appeared in front of Locke's eyes, asking whether he wanted to learn a skill: Judo.

"yes!"

"Fighting skills: Judo has been learned. The current level is elementary. The proficiency will increase with the improvement of skill level."

Next, he directly activated the fighting skill: Judo. Suddenly, countless images naturally emerged in his mind. Countless pictures flashed before his eyes, and his hands couldn't help but move.

After closing his eyes and reflecting for a moment, Locke took a closer look at the system prompts and attribute panel, and found that the basic attributes had not changed at all.

It's not too surprising for Locke. When he first learned boxing skills, Locke received a bonus of 1 to his strength and constitution. He was promoted to the intermediate level, with the reward doubled and an extra point of charm.

But when I learned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I added 2 points of agility and 1 point of charm when I upgraded to the intermediate level. This may be a mechanism for the system to prevent players from using repeated skills to increase their attributes.

The potential points he earned before were basically invested in intelligence. Most of the other attribute improvements depended on his own training and the increase in attributes attached to his skills.

Now that the intelligence attribute is sufficient for the time being, Locke is ready to use his skills to refresh his physical attributes.

He took out the second book, Introduction to Muay Thai.

The more than ten books he prepared this time were all fighting-related books. Compared with mathematics and physics, which were not recognized by the system at all, and scientific subjects that could only be learned by oneself, fighting skills were obviously skills that the system could read and recognize.

Most of these are printed matter. For ordinary people, without the guidance of a teacher, it is almost impossible to learn related skills from these introductory books alone. However, the existence of the system allowed Locke to quickly learn a large number of fighting skills.

After reading six or seven books in this way, the system suddenly came up with an additional prompt: "I found that the player has mastered multiple fighting skills. Do you want to integrate the skills?"

"Can this still happen?"

Locke was slightly startled. It seemed that this system was quite intelligent, and skills of the same type could be integrated.

He directly chose to agree, and the system immediately prompted: Generate skills mixed martial arts (elementary), add 1 point to strength, agility, physique, and charm.

"Wow, I really got an unexpected reward." Locke showed a smile on his face, and then finished the remaining books. The thick stack of books was integrated into mixed martial arts.

Finally, I recalled the various actions in my mind, stood up, and started hitting the sandbag hanging in the center of the dormitory.

After a few clicks, I got another prompt: MMA experience +1.

Locke felt happy in his heart. He punched and kicked the sandbag in front of him again, and he felt a little happy when he saw his experience +1 again.

He concentrated on practicing, and soon the system prompts came one after another

Mixed martial arts experience +1;

Mixed martial arts experience +3;

Mixed martial arts experience +1;

The early experience of this system was gained quite quickly. After a few hours, Locke's mixed martial arts was upgraded to the intermediate level. Currently, the special ability meditation battle is enabled. The character's strength, agility, constitution +4, and charm +5.

Obviously, the improvement of attributes in mixed martial arts is higher and more comprehensive than that of other fighting skills.

However, according to the rules of skill improvement, it is easy to upgrade to the intermediate level, but it is not that simple to upgrade to the advanced level.

In the past, if you hit the sandbag casually, you can gain 1 point of experience, but in the future, you may hit it seriously for five or six minutes to get the same effect.

Coupled with the fact that the experience required for upgrading is doubled, it may be difficult to upgrade mixed martial arts to a high level in a short time. What interests him now is the additional meditation battle.

But before Locke could try it, the phone in the dormitory rang.

The caller was the principal: "Locke, I think you should have met the new little genius in our school."

"Yes, Peggy left a deep impression on me. Geniuses like her are not common."

"It seems like you get along well. Peggy's parents heard about you and want to invite you to their home."

"Being a guest?"

"Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Swanson heard that you beat Peggy in mathematics, so they wanted to invite you to his house for dinner tonight."

"Can I refuse?" Locke felt that he was in trouble.

"You are a smart kid Locke, and the addition of a talented girl like Peggy is very important to our school."

Public high schools in the United States implement happy education, while elite education targets two types of people. The main ones are children from families above the middle class, and the other is the real geniuses among the common people, serving as fresh blood to replenish the vitality of the elite.

The high teaching quality of private high schools is mainly supported by donations and expensive tuition fees. Whether you want to receive a large amount of donations or persuade parents to send their children to your own school, the most important thing is that the school’s teaching performance is still good. There is honor.

The addition of a genius is good for both of these things, and can even be used to promote and enhance the school's reputation, so Peggy is now the school's treasure.

"Okay, I'll go." Now Locke's tuition and living expenses depend on the school's scholarships and grants, so naturally he doesn't want to leave a bad impression on the school for such a trivial matter.

"Very good. Can the time be tomorrow night? The address of Swanson's house is... Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No, but if possible, I might be able to give Mr. Swanson a ride." Locke recalled the map. Their home is not close to the school. In the United States, one can take the driver's license test at the age of sixteen. Although Locke has a driver's license, But no car.

"No problem, I think Mr. and Mrs. Swanson would be happy to communicate with you more." The principal said with a smile, "You, like Peggy, are valuable assets to our school."

After school in the afternoon, Peggy's mother Linda came to pick her up.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Swanson."

"It's nothing, just call me Linda." Perhaps because of Locke's super charm, Linda seemed to have a good impression of Locke and acted very enthusiastically: "I heard about you in school. The teachers all said that you He’s a genius.”

"It's nothing. It's not as good as Peggy. When I was her age, I still went to elementary school in a decent manner."

"Oh, but I heard Peggy say that the Belle you were discussing with Peggy..."

"It's Bell's inequality, a powerful mathematical inequality proposed by Bell in 1964. This theorem is based on the dual assumptions of locality and reality..."

"..." These words made Linda feel like Peggy's usual words. Fortunately, she was used to Peggy's usual words, and she quickly filtered out these incomprehensible words.

"So Locke, where are you from?"

"I don't know, I grew up in the Jiaweil Orphanage."

"I'm sorry." Linda thought she had guessed the reason why Locke had such a high IQ but didn't skip a grade like her daughter.

"It's nothing. The teachers at the orphanage are very good to me. I like the dinner made by Miss Heather..."

Locke gave his usual answer. In fact, life in the orphanage was not good. Although the United States had strict regulations on the protection of minors, there were many incidents in the orphanage.

His experience was pretty good. At most, the stewards would beat and scold the children they didn't like, and occasionally they might punish him with no dinner or something.

Fortunately, Locke had a mature mind and was able to please the management. In addition, he relied on the system to avoid various punishments and was not bullied by other children of the same age.

As for being isolated by other children because they think they have weird personalities, a mature-minded person will naturally not care. It is really difficult for a reborn person to get along with these children.
