After finishing the study activities of the Olympiad group, Locke returned to the single dormitory he had been assigned with the books he had borrowed from the library.

The environment of the school is good, 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 in the school and left the orphanage completely.

The layout of the dormitory is similar to a one-bedroom and one-bathroom single apartment, with an area of about 30 square meters, which is enough for Locke at this stage.

Washed, changed, hung up the school uniform, Locke sat down first, reached out and took out a book, carefully rubbed the cover, but saw that it was written Judo Primer, which was a modern print.

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

"Yes!"

"Martial arts: Judo has been learned, the current level is beginner, and the proficiency increases with the skill level."

Next, he directly launched the skill fighting technique: judo, and suddenly countless images naturally appeared in his mind, countless pictures flashed in front of him, and his hands couldn't help but move.

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

Locke wasn't too surprised, the first time he learned boxing skills, Locke was rewarded with a plus 1 for strength and constitution, which was promoted to intermediate, the reward was doubled, and a little more charm was added.

However, when you learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you will also add 2 agility and 1 charm when you reach intermediate, which may be a mechanism for the system to prevent players from using repetitive skills to farm attributes.

The potential points he earned before, he basically invested in intelligence, and most of the other attribute improvements relied on his own training and the attribute growth attached to his skills.

Now that the intelligence attribute is enough for the time being, Locke is ready to use his skills to brush up on his physical attributes.

He pulled out his second book, Introduction to Muay Thai.

This time, the more than ten books he prepared were all martial arts-related books, compared to mathematics and physics, which the system did not recognize at all, and the science subjects that could only be learned by themselves, fighting skills or something were obviously skills that the system could read and recognize.

Most of these are printed, and for ordinary people, it is almost impossible to learn the relevant skills from these introductory books without a teacher's teaching, but the existence of the system allows Locke to quickly learn a lot of fighting skills.

After reading six or seven books like this, the system suddenly had an extra prompt: "I found that the player has mastered a variety of fighting skills, do you integrate the skills?" ”

"Can it still be like this?"

Locke was slightly stunned, it seems that this system is quite intelligent, and the same type of skills can be fused.

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

"Wow, there's a windfall." With a smile on his face, Rock brushed through the rest of the books, a thick stack of books that were fused into mixed martial arts.

Finally, after recalling the various movements in his mind, he stood up and began to bang against the sandbags hanging in the center of the dormitory.

After a few clicks, I got the hint again: +1 mixed martial arts experience.

Locke was relieved in his heart, punched and kicked the sandbag in front of him again, and watched the experience +1 again, and his heart was slightly happy.

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

+1 experience in mixed martial arts;

+3 experience in mixed martial arts;

+1 experience in mixed martial arts;

The early experience of this system was gained quite quickly, and after a few hours, Locke's mixed martial arts skills were upgraded to intermediate, and the special ability meditation battle is now opened, with character strength, agility, physique +4, and charm +5.

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

However, according to the law of skill improvement, it is easy to upgrade to intermediate, but if you want to upgrade to advanced, it is not so simple.

In the past, you can add 1 experience by casually hitting the sandbag, but in the future, you may be able to play seriously for five or six minutes to get the same effect.

Coupled with the doubling of the experience required to level up, it may be difficult to upgrade MMA to the advanced level in a short period of time, and what interests him now is the extra meditation fight.

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

It was the principal who called: "Locke, I think you must have met the new genius in our school." ”

"Yes, Peggy impressed me very much, it's not often that a genius like her is."

"It looks like you're getting along well, Peggy's parents heard about you and want to invite you to their house."

"Guest?"

"That's right, the Swansons have heard that you are better than Peggy in math, and want to invite you to his house for dinner tonight."

"Can I say no?" Locke felt like he was in trouble.

"You're a smart kid, Locke, and the addition of a gifted girl like Peggy is important to our school."

The public high schools in the United States implement happy education, and elite education is aimed at two kinds of people, the main body is the children of families above the middle class, and the other is the real genius among the common people, as the fresh blood of the elite class to supplement the vitality.

The high quality of teaching in private high schools is mainly supported by donations and high tuition fees, whether it is to receive a large amount of donations, or to persuade parents to send their children to their own schools, the most important thing is the school's teaching performance and honors.

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 baby.

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

"Very well, can the time be set for tomorrow night, the address of Swanson's house is...... Do you need me to come with you? ”

"No, but if I can, I might be able to hitchhike with Mr. Swanson." Locke recalled the map, their home is not close to school, and you can get a driver's license at the age of sixteen, although Locke has a driver's license, but he doesn't have a car.

"No problem, I think the Swansons would be happy to talk to you more." The principal smiled and said, "You, like Peggy, are a valuable asset to our school. ”

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

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Swanson."

"It's nothing, just call me Linda." Perhaps because of Locke's super high charm, Linda seemed to have a good impression of Locke and behaved enthusiastically: "I heard about you at school, and the teachers all said that you were a genius. ”

"It's nothing, it's not as good as Peggy, I'm still in elementary school at her age."

"Oh, but I heard Peggy say that the Bell you were talking to Peggy ......"

"It is Bell's inequality, a powerful mathematical inequality proposed by Bell in 1964, which is ...... under the dual assumptions of locality and reality"

The words "......" made Linda feel like Peggy's usual words, but fortunately, she was used to Peggy saying these things on weekdays, and quickly filtered out the words that she didn't understand at all.

"And where are you from, Locke?"

"I don't know, I grew up in the Garville orphanage."

"I'm sorry." Linda thinks she guessed that Locke has such a high IQ, but there is no reason for skipping a grade like her daughter.

"It's nothing, the teachers at the orphanage are very nice to me, I like Miss Heather's dinner......"

Locke came up with his usual answer, in fact, the life in the orphanage is not good, although the United States has formulated strict regulations for the protection of minors, but there are many incidents in the orphanage.

His experience is not bad, at most, the steward will beat and scold the child when he sees something unpleasant, and occasionally he may be punished for not having dinner or something.

Fortunately, Locke is mature in his mind and will please the steward, and by relying on the system, he has avoided all kinds of punishments and has not been bullied by other children of the same age.

As for being considered by other children to have a strange personality and thus being isolated or something, a mature person naturally doesn't care, and it is really difficult for the reborn to get along with these children.
