Chapter 6 Falling in love will only delay study time

Arriving at Peggy's house, Peggy's father Barry hadn't gotten off work yet. Linda went to prepare dinner and asked Peggy to take Locke to visit.

"This is my room." Peggy brought Locke to her room, dressed very girlishly.

Locke's attention quickly focused on the bookshelf nearby. Most of them were large physics and mathematics books, several of which Locke had never seen before in school.

"It seems you have a lot of good books."

"That's right, my mother bought the books with me." Peggy said, "Didn't your mother buy the books with you?"

"I'm an orphan, and there's no one out there who's willing to spend sixty-eight dollars to buy me a book as a gift."

"Okay, but sometimes I also think that if I were an orphan, no one would be looking after me all day long."

"Believe me, this is definitely not a pleasant experience." Locke said, "Can I read these books?"

"How about we play a game of chess." Peggy took out the chess from the drawer of the cabinet next to her.

"As you wish, host, but when I go back, can you borrow a few of your books here?"

"Of course, I have already seen these, and they are all here now." Peggy pointed to her head.

"Thank you, I will return it to you soon."

Locke and Peggy placed the chess pieces and stretched out their hands to signal: "Then you'll have to go first."

"No problem." Peggy picked up the chess pieces: "Speaking of which, were your opponents in the Mathematical Olympiad last year very strong?"

"It's not very strong, at least it's a little worse than you."

"Then why did you lose?"

“The main reason is that I didn’t have enough time to prepare, and I also had a little bit of luck.”

"Are you saying you spend all your time dating girls?" Peggy said, "I heard you are dating a girl named Mandy."

"It's not a date, I'm just giving her math tutoring. The tutor's salary is good. After all, I'm an orphan. I have to rely on myself to make money."

"But that's not the discussion I heard in school."

"Everyone knows, high school."

Locke found that Peggy seemed to want to distract himself through chatting so that he could gain an advantage in the game, but he didn't care. After all, it was just a private chess game.

But I didn't expect that the system would suddenly appear again at this time: "Our little genius seems to be unconvinced by the last failure and wants to regain her place.

How can a life with a system allow failure (although you have already won the runner-up once), please go all out to win and let her understand that setbacks in life are essential. The basic reward is 50 potential points. The better the win, the more bonus rewards. "

Seeing this task, Locke, who was originally in a casual mood, suddenly became energetic. He didn't want to miss anything that could earn potential points.

Unexpectedly, Peggy just gave herself 100 potential points yesterday, and she got another reward today. Is it because she is a plot character? In this way, it seems that she can find an opportunity to contact Sheldon and give it a try.

But now, we still have to complete this mission. Chess is still a test of IQ, and it will not be easy for Locke to win.

"General!" Peggy smiled happily.

"Let's play another game." At first, Locke played more casually. Their IQs were already on par with each other, so they lost the upper hand. Even if they got serious later, Locke could only admit defeat.

The mission must be completed, so he said: "Win two out of three games."

"No problem." Peggy, who had just won a game, planned to pursue the victory.

"Won."

"General!" Locke, who finally won the next two games, rubbed his temples. These two games consumed countless brain cells.

"How about two more..." This time it was Peggy's turn to refuse to admit defeat.

As soon as she said this, there was a knock on the door, and she could only stand up and open the door first.

"Hello, you must be Locke." When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man: "I am Barry, Peggy's father."

"Hello, Mr. Swanson."

"Just call me Barry." Barry emphasized and looked at the room: "Are you playing chess?"

"Yes, Peggy gave me a kick at the beginning." Locke said with a smile.

"I know, less than an hour after I taught her how to play chess, I knew." Barry patted Locke's shoulder sympathetically: "I hope I didn't disturb you, Linda said dinner will be ready soon."

"I can't wait to try Ms. Linda's craftsmanship."

Locke smiled and agreed, and then quickly chose to complete the task. He only narrowly won the next two rounds, especially the third round. If Locke hadn't also used words to influence Peggy, the result might not have been certain.

With the potential points in hand, Locke glanced at Peggy and felt that he needed to improve his intelligence a little more to be safe, otherwise he might not be able to successfully complete a similar task next time.

At the dinner at the Swanson family, in addition to the Swansons and Peggy, there was also Peggy's sister Erica.

"Uh-huh." The five people sat around the dining table, and Barry, who was in the main seat, said, "We are very happy that Peggy's classmate Locke can come to our family dinner today."

"It's my pleasure too, Mr. Barry." Locke said with a smile.

"Then let me introduce you first. You already know Linda and Peggy. This is my eldest daughter Erica."

"Hello, nice to meet you." Locke smiled and extended his hand.

"Hi!" Erica immediately grabbed Locke's hand, stared at Locke closely, and showed a sweet smile: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Erica!" Linda glared at Erica.

Erica could only reluctantly let go of Locke's hand, but she still stared at Locke closely.

Locke couldn't help complaining about his own charm value again. With his damn system, the primary and intermediate skills were okay, but it was extremely difficult to improve them further. The key was that after the skills were upgraded, the attribute points were even more cheating. .

He didn't want his charm to be too high, but he could increase his attribute points quickly, because no matter what skills he upgraded, his charm would be upgraded along with it. If this continued, it would be a disaster.

Nowadays, with this charm value, it is very easy to win the favor of strangers. When a college girl is attracted to her, she becomes very fond of her. She gives various explicit hints that if he is willing, he can go to clubs and bars every night, and it is not a big deal to be a groom every night. question.

Fortunately, if the stranger is a man, the effect of a high charm value is not obvious. It is basically a level that is pleasing to the eye, and it is impossible to be gay, otherwise he will be tempted to change the system.

"I'm sorry Locke..."

"It's okay Ms. Linda, I'm used to Erica's question just now." Locke was very calm: "I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't plan to have one, at least at this stage."

"Why!" Erica couldn't help but asked loudly.

"Falling in love will only delay my study time."
