The upgrade of system skills allowed Locke to quickly understand the skills related to fighting, but to use them, it requires the cooperation of the body and relevant actual combat experience.

After all, this is not a game, you can use it perfectly if you learn it, in reality, you need the cooperation of the body to learn the skills, and you also need people to choose and judge how to use them.

There is also psychological quality, not only was the skill rusty just now, but in the face of the enemy's moves, Locke, who had been boxing according to the routine at most, was obviously flustered, and his movements became stiff.

didn't judge the opponent's position, so he shot recklessly, thus revealing a more obvious flaw, and was hit by the opponent in an instant.

Obviously, many skills are not just a skill level and everything is fine, reality is not a simple game, it also needs more practice, more actual combat experience, he is far from it.

Thinking of this, Locke couldn't help but rub his neck again, although he knew that the meditation battle would not have any effect on his body, but the feeling of being traumatized at that moment still made Locke feel a faint pain in his neck at this time.

After relieving himself, Locke regained his mind and chose to do it again, feeling that he couldn't be killed in such a humiliating instant.

I continued to do it many times, until I felt a little dizzy and in good spirits, so I cleaned up and closed my eyes to rest and recover my mental loss.

After his spirit calmed down a little, Locke didn't continue, but first glanced at the system panel and found that his mixed martial arts experience had improved a lot, which was much faster than just punching punching bags.

It can be said that the effect is remarkable, but the pressure on the spirit is not small, which makes Locke a little drowsy at this time, and he knows that this is a manifestation of excessive mental consumption.

For the next few days, Locke continued to indulge in meditation battles, each time until he felt mentally exhausted.

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

For example, shooting training.

It is said that Happy Millican, shooting every day, Krok still hasn't touched a real gun, and the intermediate skills of shooting are all brushed out by reading shooting books and holding toy guns.

Although there are some funny things, it was so easy to brush skills at the beginning, but during meditation battles, Locke was often shot in the head before he could see the other party.

The alarm clock went off at five o'clock in the morning, and Locke groaned, barely controlling his heart to smash the alarm clock and sit up.

Learning is very hard, many people are unwilling to endure this suffering, and life is also very hard, but many people can endure that suffering, to put it bluntly, it is inertia.

Learning is to take the initiative to suffer this suffering, and the suffering of life is to have no choice, to bear passively, without choice.

When Locke understands this truth, he will strive to overcome his inertia and take the initiative to bear the hardships of learning.

Fortunately, now that the IQ has almost improved, learning is basically a point that can be learned, which can bring more sense of achievement, but the exercise of physical fitness needs to be strengthened.

Especially with such a convenient method as meditation warfare, all kinds of combat skills will also start to be brushed up, after all, the United States is really far worse than the East Kingdom in terms of security, and there is no harm in practicing more skills.

These all take a lot of time, especially meditation battles, and after using it a few times, you need to perform a deep sleep to recover, and fifteen minutes of deep sleep can restore most of your mental and physical strength.

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

Some difficult quilts were folded and put back in the closet, and Locke only felt that his thighs, arms, wrists, fingers, and neck were all very sore, probably the sequelae of exercising too much yesterday.

He walked to the bathroom with crab steps, washed up and went to the desk, and began to study.

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

In the United States, the matter of going to college has actually been prepared from the moment I first entered the university.

Locke hadn't decided exactly what university he wanted to go to, but he had already confirmed the requirements for getting in.

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

However, SAT scores are only one of many conditions, there are so many top universities, and excellent talents are competing for limited places, and if you want to stand out from many excellent applicants, you need to consider other aspects.

For example, the club activities of the high school in the United States can prove their organizational and leadership skills, or master some special talents.

Leadership is also a point that these universities pay more attention to, requiring students to join some clubs, and act as leaders in these clubs, leading the clubs to complete some activities.

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

Sports are football, basketball, baseball and other sports through which you can prove your overall quality.

Literature and art are all kinds of music, painting and other skills, or there are also skills in niche sports such as horseback riding and sailing, which are also important yardsticks.

If you rely solely on results, you must be good enough, excellent to the extent of dazzling, such as winning a medal in a major scientific competition.

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

The lottery was considered successful, excluding high taxes, and the final prize was more than 280,000 US dollars, which can be said to be a huge amount of money in this year.

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

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

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

After getting the money, Locke's first thought was to do it again, but then he snuffed out the idea, because winning the lottery in a row was too conspicuous.

Once it can also be explained by luck, if you win the lottery in a row, the issuer will definitely investigate, and the matter of Locke's calculation is likely to be exposed, which will bring a lot of trouble.

At this stage, the money is enough, and even if you do it again, you can't choose the same lottery again, so you need to recalculate, and all the work has to start all over again.

The only headache for Locke is that the Internet is not yet developed, and investing in stocks requires contacting stockbrokers by phone, which is a little worse in terms of timeliness.

In any case, with this capital, Locke's mentality gradually began to relax a little, and he no longer pushed himself so hard as before.

"I heard that this year's math Olympiad is being held in New York." At the cafeteria at noon, Peggy said, "My mom was thinking about whether to come with me, and she was worried that I wouldn't fit in. ”

"What's there to worry about, the school will arrange the whole process, the last time I went to your house, I heard Barry complain that Linda cared too little about him, why don't you take this opportunity and let the two of them have a chance to travel somewhere."

"That's a really good idea." Peggy also felt good after listening to it, and she occasionally wanted to get rid of her parents: "I'll talk to my mother when I go back, by the way, can you help me persuade her?" ”

"Why?"

"Because my parents think you're a reliable person, and if you help, you'll have a much better chance of persuading them."

"This has become my job?!"

"That's right." Peggy smiled at Locke.

The day of the Olympiad is getting closer and closer, and winning the championship will not only increase the credits, but also the prize money, which will be further increased after Peggy joins.

Because there are very few female geniuses in mathematics, as the equality of men and women in the United States gradually emerges, many competition organizers also set that if there are female members of the contestants, the prize can be doubled after winning.

Of course, in order to prevent someone from exploiting loopholes, the king took bronze, and found a random girl to fill the number, and also made some regulations.

At the time of the qualifiers, there is a part of the competition, known as Death Elimination, in which both sides can designate members of the other team to participate.

There is no room for fraud in mathematics, after a period of competition, the two sides must have a general understanding of the level of the other player, once it comes to this link, it is basically the choice of the weakest link of the other party, at this time bronze can not become the king.

Peggy's addition just makes up for the gap that there are no female players in the team, and Peggy himself is a king player, the king leads the king, plus Locke himself, he can't think of how to lose.
