When I came to the dining room, my father Robert was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and my mother Lisa was busy bringing things to the dining table, and when she saw the three people downstairs, she smiled and said, "Children, come and sit down, Robert, come and eat." ”

Robert Bennett, the sheriff of the town, Lisa is a housewife, she keeps the house in order, likes to write some things part-time, but unfortunately she has not achieved much success, of course, she is still a believer in God.

Barely enough to be a typical American middle-class family, and for Link, although he has not become a rich second generation, such a family is not bad, at least he doesn't have to worry about eating like those poor children.

Of course, it would be nice to be able to remove the pre-meal prayer that he thought was a bit troublesome and boring.

"Well, kids, how was the day?" After the prayers, the family began to eat, and Robert began to catch up on the children's movements through the nightly chat.

"Elizabeth?"

16-year-old Elizabeth is the eldest daughter in the family, Link's older sister in this life, high school is in the eleventh grade, and will graduate from high school in another year.

She is a typical good girl, she does whatever her parents say, she studies very hard, and her grades are very good, because of the guidance of her mother Lisa, she is very interested in medicine and is ready to become a doctor in the future.

Hearing Robert's question, she replied obediently, "It's a normal day." ”

"Good." Robert nodded, he had always been more at ease with his eldest daughter, and then he looked at Link and said, "What about you, Link?" ”

"Very good, in addition to a few teacher recommendations, I just got a letter of recommendation from the principal, as long as my SSAT score is enough, then I will not have a surprise to get a full scholarship at Lola High School next."

"That's great, kid!" Parents in the United States never skimp on complimenting their children, and Lisa suddenly smiled: "I'm proud of you, child." ”

"Thank you!" Link nodded.

After Lisa finished speaking, she looked at Bianca again and said, "I'm sure you'll have a good grade, of course, if you have some free time, maybe you can take a little time to make up for Bianca's homework." ”

"Of course, I'll give it a try." Link nodded.

"Hey~" Link heard the sigh of Bianca next to him at this time, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, this little girl is a typical happy scumbag, and Lisa has no headaches for her.

The three children in the family, two of them are very worry-free, and parents will naturally unconsciously pay more attention to the more naughty children.

"Bianca?!" Robert looked at Bianca at this time: "How are you doing today?" ”

"Nothing, boring day." Bianca said.

Seeing that Bianca was still a little uplifted, Lisa said, "Honey, are you still sad?" ”

"There's nothing left." Bianca obviously didn't want Robert to hear something, and hurriedly said, "I'll tell you something happy, huh...... That Peggy was going to middle school, so I didn't have to see him at school. ”

"Peggy? Are you saying that the neighbors often come to our house to study with Link, a very smart little girl? I think she was only eight years old. ”

"Mom, I don't feel good about you saying that, because I still have to see her at home every day." Bianca couldn't help but collapse her little face again.

"That girl is very smart indeed, I heard that she has started to study in college on her own!" Lisa said and looked at Link again.

"That's right, she has an IQ of 187, and although she is only 8 years old, she started learning all kinds of knowledge later than me, but the speed of learning is really amazing, if it weren't for her age, I think she would have been able to go straight to college."

Link said with a little emotion: "A genius like her can't be speculated simply by age and education, I estimate that in a year or two at most, her knowledge in some specialties can reach the level of some masters or even doctors." ”

In the previous life, he had only heard of it, but in this life, he knew the horror of these geniuses, and he felt that the two sides did not seem to be in the same dimension, and his memory ability, comprehension ability and calculation ability were too much beyond ordinary people.

Through development, Link, who has increased his intelligence to 12.5 points, can now be said to be a little genius, but it only makes Link's IQ reach the level of 130, which can only be regarded as excellent at best.

In addition, Link also found that although the improvement of intelligence will lead to an increase in IQ, it is not directly proportional, or the higher it goes, the less the impact on IQ.

So don't look at Link's current intelligence of 12.5 to be able to have an IQ of 136, if you want to reach an IQ of more than 140 and reach the level of genius in the usual sense, it is estimated that you also need to brush your intelligence to 14 points.

But even now, the benefits of high IQ have been felt by Link.

The problems he encountered when he studied in his previous life, now he can always understand and understand more easily, and in the face of those students in the class, he can always feel a little superiority in IQ.

But all this is compared with Peggy, who has an IQ of more than 180, even if the other party is an 8-year-old girl, he still belongs to the side that is crushed, this is not a simple test score and the like can be shown clearly, the gap is in all aspects.

To give a simple example, let's talk about mental arithmetic ability, using the learned quick arithmetic method, coupled with continuous exercise, Link can do two-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations, without thinking about the instant results.

But if it's more complicated, plus complex calculations such as fractions and calculus, even if you give him a calculator to assist, it can't compare to Peggy, and the other party feels like a humanoid computer.

This reminded Link of a movie called "A Beautiful Mind" that he saw in his previous life, where the protagonist was able to do things that many software couldn't do with his mental arithmetic skills.

Of course, it really doesn't feel good to be crushed in terms of IQ like this, even if Link has some Buddhism, it is inevitable that there will be some unhappiness, and in the past year, he has often communicated with Peggy for another purpose.

Hearing Link say this, everyone else was surprised, but Bianca said directly: "That's why I said she's a freak." ”

"Bianca!" Lisa said directly.

"Well, when I didn't say it!"

After Bian's mouth froze, Robert nodded, "Well, it's indeed one, huh...... Surprising girl. ”

Link explained at this time: "Actually, this is nothing, high IQ is very common in the community of scientists, and if you don't have an IQ far beyond ordinary people, you can't understand such a complex theory." ”

"That's true." Robert nodded and said, "So even so, do you still plan to become a scientist?" …… Well, you know, you may be great, but compared to those who, um, geniuses like Peggy, you have some talent, but ......."

"Of course, this is my dream, and I intend to be a mathematician." Link replied directly.

He knew that Robert would have preferred him to be a baseball player, because in the eyes of ordinary Texans, scientists were obviously not as popular as stars or athletes.

The favorite sport of Texans besides football is baseball, and Robert had the idea of becoming a baseball player as a child, but later realized that he lacked talent in this area, so he joined the army, and then after retiring from the army, he worked as a police officer in this town.

And Link is still a teenager, but with his own training and the assistance of the system, he has completely crushed his peers in all aspects of physical fitness, and his achievements in baseball training and games are very outstanding.

Therefore, in the eyes of his baseball coach, Link has some talent in baseball, and even private high schools with strong baseball want to recruit Link, but this is obviously not in line with Link's plan.

Although in the United States, excellent baseball players can also make a lot of money, Link, who has formed three views, is clearly more interested in using his intelligence to make money.

Moreover, there is a system, and the most critical IQ problem that prevents him from becoming a high-IQ talent, as long as he is willing to work hard, it is obviously not a problem.

This was the end of the dinner conversation, and after dinner, Link went back to his room and began to study.

He is also more glad that Bianca is a girl now, otherwise he would need to share a room with the other party, instead of having a room of his own now, after all, their house has two bedrooms except for the master bedroom.

After a while, Link heard Lisa shouting downstairs, "Link, Peggy is looking for you." ”

"Okay." Link answered, put down the pen in his hand, and walked downstairs, and immediately saw the topic of today's dinner - Peggy.

An eight-year-old girl with short blond hair laughs like a doll, but in Link's eyes, the other party is more like a tool to help him improve his intelligence.
