Chapter 5 Invitation

After finishing the learning activities of the Mathematical Olympiad group, Locke returned to the single dormitory he was assigned to, holding the books he borrowed from the library.

The school has a good environment, with good security, transportation, leisure, shopping and other conditions. After Locke entered high school at the age of sixteen, he chose to live on campus and completely left the orphanage.

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

After washing, changing, and hanging up his school uniform, Locke sat down first, reached out and took out a book, rubbed the cover carefully, and saw an introduction to judo written on it. It was a modern printed book.

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

"yes!"

"Fighting skills: Judo has been learned. The current level is elementary. The proficiency will increase with the improvement of skill level."

Next, he directly activated the fighting skill: Judo. Suddenly, countless images naturally emerged in his mind. Countless pictures flashed before his eyes, and his hands couldn't help but move.

Locke closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment, then carefully looked at the system prompts and attribute panel, and found that the basic attributes had not changed at all.

The high teaching quality of private high schools is mainly supported by donations and expensive tuition fees. Whether you want to receive a large amount of donations or persuade parents to send their children to your own school, the most important thing is that the school’s teaching performance is still good.

Have honor.

"I'm sorry." Linda thought she had guessed the reason why Locke had such a high IQ but did not skip a grade like her daughter.

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

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

Mixed martial arts experience +1;

Most of these are printed matter. For ordinary people, without the guidance of a teacher, it is almost impossible to learn related skills from these introductory books alone. However, the existence of the system allowed Locke to quickly learn a large number of fighting skills.

"It's nothing. It's not as good as Peggy. When I was her age, I still went to elementary school in a decent manner."

Finally, I recalled the various actions in my mind, stood up, and started hitting the sandbag hanging in the center of the dormitory.

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 treasure.

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

The caller was the principal: "Locke, I think you have met the new little genius in our school."

He took out the second book, Introduction to Muay Thai.

After a few clicks, I got another prompt: MMA experience +1.

Mixed martial arts experience +3;

Public high schools in the United States implement happy education, while elite education targets two types of people. The main ones are children from families above the middle class, and the other is the real geniuses among the common people, serving as fresh blood to replenish the vitality of the elite.

"Oh, but I heard Peggy say that the Belle you were discussing with Peggy..."

"Very good. Can the time be set for tomorrow night? The address of Swanson's house is... Do you want me to accompany you?"

However, according to the rules of skill improvement, it is easy to upgrade to the intermediate level, but it is not that simple to upgrade to the advanced level.

"Can this still happen?"

"Yes, Peggy left a deep impression on me. Geniuses like her are not common."

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

"It's nothing, just call me Linda." Perhaps because of Locke's super charm, Linda seemed to have a good impression of Locke and acted very enthusiastically: "I heard about you in school. The teachers all said that you

He is a genius."

"Being a guest?"

"So Locke, where are you from?"

After reading six or seven books in this way, the system suddenly came up with an additional prompt: "It was found that the player has mastered multiple fighting skills. Do you want to integrate the skills?"

"It's Bell's inequality, a powerful mathematical inequality proposed by Bell in 1964. This theorem is based on the dual assumptions of locality and reality..."

Locke felt happy in his heart. He punched and kicked the sandbag in front of him again, vigorously. Seeing that his experience was +1 again, he felt a little happy in his heart.

The more than ten books he prepared this time were all fighting-related books. Compared with mathematics and physics, which were not recognized by the system at all, and scientific subjects that could only be learned by oneself, fighting skills were obviously skills that the system could read and recognize.

The potential points he earned before were basically invested in intelligence. Most of the other attribute improvements depended on his own training and the increase in attributes attached to his skills.

It's not too surprising for Locke. When he first learned boxing skills, Locke received a bonus of 1 to his strength and constitution. He was promoted to the intermediate level, with the reward doubled and an extra point of charm.

"Wow, there is indeed an unexpected gain." Locke showed a smile on his face, and then finished the remaining books. The thick stack of books was integrated into mixed martial arts.

"Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Swanson heard that you beat Peggy in mathematics, so they wanted to invite you to his house for dinner tonight."

"No, but if possible, I might be able to give Mr. Swanson a lift." Locke recalled the map. Their home is not close to the school. In the United States, one can take a driver's license test at the age of sixteen. Although Locke has a driver's license,

But there is no car.

"Can I refuse?" Locke felt that he was in trouble.

"It's nothing. The teachers at the orphanage are very good to me. I like the dinner made by Miss Heather..."

"You are a smart kid Locke, and the addition of a talented girl like Peggy is very important to our school."

"I don't know, I grew up in the Jiaweil Orphanage."

Coupled with the fact that the experience required for upgrading is doubled, it may be difficult to upgrade mixed martial arts to a high level in a short time. What interests him now is the additional meditation battle.

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

Locke was slightly stunned. It seemed that this system was quite intelligent, and skills of the same type could be integrated.

But when I learned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I added 2 points of agility and 1 point of charm when I upgraded to the intermediate level. This may be a mechanism for the system to prevent players from using repeated skills to increase their attributes.

"No problem, I think Mr. and Mrs. Swanson would be happy to communicate with you more." The principal smiled and said, "You, like Peggy, are valuable assets to our school."

"..." These words made Linda feel like Peggy's usual words. Fortunately, she was used to Peggy's usual words and filtered out these incomprehensible words quickly.

In the past, if you hit the sandbag casually, you can gain 1 point of experience. But in the future, you may hit it seriously for five or six minutes to get the same effect.

Mixed martial arts experience +1;

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Swanson."

The early experience of this system was gained quite quickly. After a few hours, Locke's mixed martial arts was upgraded to the intermediate level. Currently, the special ability meditation battle is enabled. The character's strength, agility, constitution +4, and charm +5.

"It seems like you get along well. Peggy's parents heard about you and want to invite you to their home."

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

Now that the intelligence attributes are sufficient for the time being, Locke is ready to use skills to refresh his physical attributes.

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

His experience was pretty good. At most, the stewards would beat and scold the children they didn't like, and occasionally they might punish him with no dinner or something.

Fortunately, Locke had a mature mind and was able to please the management. In addition, he relied on the system to avoid various punishments and was not bullied by other children of the same age.

As for being isolated by other children because they think they have weird personalities, a mature-minded person will naturally not care. It is really difficult for a reborn person to get along with these children.
