The system skill upgrade allowed Locke to quickly understand fighting-related techniques, but using them requires physical cooperation and relevant practical experience.

After all, this is not a game. Once you learn it, you can use it perfectly. In reality, learning a skill requires the cooperation of the body, and it also requires people to choose and judge how to use it.

There was also psychological quality. Not only was his technique unfamiliar, but when faced with the enemy's moves, Locke, who had only boxed according to routines before, was obviously panicked and his movements became stiff.

Without judging the opponent's position, he took action recklessly, thus exposing a more obvious flaw. As a result, he was hit by the opponent in an instant.

Obviously, many skills are not just about brushing up the skill level and everything will be fine. The reality is not a simple game. It also requires more practice and more practical experience. He is still far from it.

Thinking of this, Locke couldn't help but rub his neck. Although he knew that the meditation battle would have no impact on the body, the trauma at that moment still made Locke feel a dull pain in his neck at this time.

After regaining his composure, Locke regained his composure and chose to do it again. He felt that he could never be killed in such an embarrassing manner.

I continued to do it several times until I felt a little dizzy and low on energy, so I stopped and closed my eyes to rest and recover from the mental loss.

After he calmed down a bit, Locke did not continue. He took a look at the system panel first and found that his mixed martial arts experience had improved a lot, which was much faster than simply punching a sandbag.

It can be said that the effect is remarkable, but the mental pressure is not small, making Locke feel a little drowsy at this time. He knows that this is a sign of excessive mental consumption.

In the next few days, Locke continued to indulge in meditative battles, each time stopping until he felt mentally exhausted.

And after trying it, he discovered that meditation combat can not only be used to improve mixed martial arts, but can also be used to train other combat skills.

Such as shooting training.

They say Happy America is about shooting every day, but Locke still has never touched a real gun. His intermediate shooting skills were developed by reading shooting books and holding toy guns.

Although it is a bit funny, it is so easy to master skills at the beginning. However, during the meditation battle, Locke often gets shot in the head before he sees the opponent.

The alarm clock rang at five o'clock in the morning. Locke groaned, barely restraining himself from smashing the alarm clock and sitting up.

Studying is hard, and many people are unwilling to endure the pain. Life is also hard, but many people can endure the pain. To put it bluntly, it is laziness.

Learning requires you to take the initiative to endure the hardship, while the hardship in life requires you to endure it passively and without choice.

Locke understood this truth, so he worked hard to overcome his laziness and actively endured the pain of learning.

Fortunately, IQ has almost improved now, and learning can basically be done without having to click. This aspect can bring more sense of accomplishment, but physical fitness training needs to be strengthened.

Especially with such a convenient method as meditative combat, various combat skills have to be improved. After all, the United States is really far behind Dongguo in terms of safety. There is no harm in practicing more skills.

All of these take a lot of time, especially the meditation battle. After using it a few times, you need to go into deep sleep to recover. Fifteen minutes of deep sleep can restore most of your mental and physical strength.

The original study time in the evening was moved to the morning, and Locke could always be seen on the school playground at night. After enough physical exercise, a meditation battle began, with each other taking turns.

With some difficulty, he folded the quilt and put it back in the closet. Locke felt that his thighs, arms, wrists, fingers, and neck were all sore, probably the sequelae of yesterday's overexertion.

He moved to the bathroom with crab steps, washed himself, then came to the desk and started studying.

When the time was almost up, Locke put on his schoolbag and came to the teaching building. First he went to the office of the college application counselor.

In the United States, preparation for going to college actually starts from the moment you enter college.

Locke has not yet decided which university he will go to, but he has already confirmed his requirements to enter the university early.

Based on Locke's conditions, if you want to go to college in the United States, especially those top universities, excellent grades are naturally an essential admission condition.

However, SAT scores are only one of many conditions. There are only so many top universities, and outstanding talents are competing for limited places. If you want to stand out among many outstanding applicants, you need to consider other aspects comprehensively.

For example, club activities in American high schools can prove your organizational and leadership skills, or master some special talents.

Leadership is also an important aspect of these universities. Students are required to join some clubs and serve as leaders in these clubs to lead the clubs to complete some activities.

Special talents cover a wide range of areas, mainly sports and literature and art.

Sports are football, basketball, baseball and other sports. Use these sports to prove your overall quality.

Literature and art refer to various skills such as music and painting, or skills in niche sports such as horse riding and sailing. They are also an important criterion. In the last life of Locke, when watching the news, there were students with average grades who relied on their skills. The technical expertise of horseback riding leads to admission into top universities.

If you rely purely on performance, you must be good enough to be dazzling, such as winning medals in important large-scale science competitions.

Locke must be preparing to enter a top university, otherwise the time travel would not be in vain. As soon as he entered high school, Locke joined the Mathematical Olympiad competition team and the baseball club, just to prepare for college.

It is estimated that the lottery was a success. Excluding the high taxes, the final prize amounted to more than 280,000 US dollars, which can be said to be a huge sum of money in this year.

Leaving a small change, Locke invested the rest of the funds in the stock market, and this part of the money was also divided into two parts by Locke.

Part of it is placed on the stocks of companies with potential in Locke's impression, held for a long time, and regarded as fixed investment.

The other part is used for short-term investment to seize the opportunities that Locke remembered in his previous life.

After getting the money, Locke's first thought was to do it again, but then he suppressed this idea because winning consecutive prizes was too conspicuous.

One can also be explained by luck, but if you win consecutively, the issuer will definitely investigate, and Locke's calculation of the results is likely to be exposed, which will cause a lot of trouble.

The money is enough at this stage. Even if you do it again, you cannot choose the same lottery. In this case, you need to recalculate and start all the work from scratch.

The only headache for Locke is that the Internet is not yet developed. To invest in stocks, you still need to contact the stock broker by phone, which is not timely.

No matter what, with this capital, Locke's mentality gradually began to relax, and he no longer pushed himself as hard as before.

"I heard that this year's Mathematical Olympiad will be held in New York." Peggy said in the cafeteria at noon: "My mother is considering whether to accompany me. She is worried that I will not adapt."

"There's nothing to worry about. The school will arrange the whole process. When I went to your house last time, I heard Barry complain that Linda cared too little about him. Why not take this opportunity to give the two of them a chance to travel somewhere? .”

"This is indeed a good idea." After hearing this, Peggy also felt good. She occasionally wanted to get rid of the shackles of her parents: "I will talk to my mother when I get back. By the way, can you help me persuade her?"

"Why?"

"Because my parents think you are a reliable person. If you help, your chances of persuading them will increase a lot."

"This has become my job?!"

"That's right." Peggy said to Locke with a smile.

The date of the Mathematical Olympiad is getting closer and closer. Winning the championship will not only increase your credits, but also get bonuses. After Peggy joins, the bonuses will be further increased.

Because there are very few female geniuses in mathematics, and with the gradual emergence of gender equality in the United States, many competition organizers have also set that if there are female members among the contestants, the prize money after winning can be doubled.

Of course, in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the loopholes, the king would bring bronze and find any girl to top it up, and some rules were also made.

During the preliminaries, there is a competition segment called death elimination, in which both sides can designate members of the other party to participate.

There is no room for cheating in mathematics. After a period of competition, both sides must have a general understanding of the opponent's level. Once this link is reached, they basically choose the weakest link of the opponent. At this time, there is no way to become bronze. The king's.

The addition of Peggy just made up for the lack of female players in the team, and Peggy herself is a king player. The king leads the king. With Locke himself, he can't think of how to lose.
