Chapter 6 Falling in love will only delay the time of study

When she came to Peggy's house, Peggy's father, Barry, was not off work yet. Linda went to prepare dinner and asked Peggy to take Locke to visit.

"This is my room." Peggy took Locke to her room, dressed in a very girlish way.

Locke's attention quickly focused on the bookshelf beside him, most of which were filled with tomes of physics and mathematics books, several of which Locke had never seen in school.

"It seems that you have quite a few good books."

"That's right, my mother bought them with me." Peggy said, "Won't your mother buy books with you?"

"I'm an orphan and there's no one there who will buy me a book for $68 as a gift."

"Okay, but sometimes I also think that if I were an orphan, no one would take care of me all day."

"Believe me, this is definitely not a good experience." Locke said: "Can I read these books?"

"Why don't we play a game of chess?" Peggy took out the chess from the drawer of the cabinet next to her.

"It's up to you, but when I go back, can I borrow some of your books?"

"Of course, I've seen all of these, and they're all here now." Peggy pointed to her head.

"Thank you, I will return it to you soon."

Locke and Peggy set up the chess pieces, and stretched out their hands to signal: "Then you will come first."

"No problem." Peggy picked up the chess pieces: "Speaking of which, was your opponent in last year's Mathematical Olympiad competition strong?"

"It's not very strong, at least it's worse than you."

"Then why did you lose?"

"The main reason is that there is not enough time to prepare, and a little bit of luck."

"Are you saying you spend all your time dating girls?" Peggy said. "I hear you're dating a girl named Mandy right now."

"It's not a date, it's just tutoring her in math. The tutor's salary is good. After all, I'm an orphan, and I can only rely on myself to make money."

"That's not the kind of discussion I heard in school."

"Everyone knows, high school."

Locke found that Peggy seemed to want to distract himself through chatting, so as to gain an advantage in the game, but he didn't care, after all, it was just a private chess game.

I just didn't expect the system to pop up again at this time: "Our talented little girl seems not convinced by the last failure and wants to get back on the field.

How can a life with a system allow failure (although you have already won a runner-up), please go all out to win and let her understand that setbacks in life are essential.The basic reward is 50 potential points, the more beautiful you win, the more bonus rewards you will get. "

Seeing this task, Locke, who was originally in a casual mood, suddenly became energetic. He didn't want to miss anything that could earn potential points.

Unexpectedly, Peggy just gave herself 100 potential points yesterday, and today she gained more. Could it be because she is a character in the plot? In this way, it seems that she can find an opportunity to get in touch with Sheldon and try it out.

But now, it is still necessary to complete this task. Chess is still a test of IQ, and it is not so easy for Locke to win.

"General!" Peggy smiled happily.

"Continue to play another game." At first, Locke played more casually. The IQs of the two were already on par, and they lost the initiative. Even if they got serious later, Locke had to admit defeat.

The task must be completed, so he said: "Two wins in three games."

"No problem." Peggy, who had just won a round, planned to pursue the victory.

"Won."

"General!" Locke rubbed his temples after finally winning the next two games. These two games consumed an unknown number of brain cells.

"How about two more..." Now it was Peggy's turn to refuse to admit defeat.

As soon as she said this, there was a knock on the door, and she could only stand up and open the door first.

"Hello, you are Locke." Opening the door, he saw a middle-aged man: "I'm Barry, Peggy's father."

"Hello, Mr. Swanson."

"You can just call me Barry." Barry emphasized, and looked around the room: "Are you playing chess?"

"Yes, Peggy gave me a blow from the beginning." Locke laughed.

"I know, I knew it less than an hour after I taught her to play chess." Barry patted Locke's shoulder sympathetically: "I hope I didn't disturb you, Linda said that dinner is almost ready."

"I can't wait to try Ms. Linda's craft."

Locke smiled and agreed, and then quickly chose to complete the task. He only narrowly won the next two rounds, especially the third round. If Locke hadn't also used words to influence Peggy, the result might not be certain.

With the potential in hand, Locke glanced at Peggy and felt that he needed to improve his intelligence to be safe, otherwise he might not be able to complete a similar task next time he encountered a similar task.

For the dinner at the Swanson family, in addition to the Swansons and Peggy, there was also Peggy's sister Erica.

"Hmm." The five people sat around the dining table, and Barry, who was at the main seat, said, "Today we are very happy that Peggy's classmate Locke can come to our family dinner."

"It's my honor too, Mr. Barry." Locke said with a smile.

"Then let me introduce you first, Linda and Peggy, you already know each other, and this is my eldest daughter Erica."

"Hi, nice to meet you." Locke smiled and held out his hand.

"Hi!" Erica grabbed Locke's hand at once, stared at Locke closely, and showed a sweet smile: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Erica!" Linda glared at Erica.

Erica could only reluctantly let go of Locke's hand, but she still stared at Locke closely.

Locke couldn't help complaining about his charm value again. His damn system, the primary and intermediate skills are okay, and it's terribly difficult to improve. The key is that after the skill is upgraded, the attribute points are even more cheating. .

He doesn't want the charm to be too high, but this attribute point will be added quickly, because no matter what skill is upgraded, the charm will be upgraded along with it. If this continues, it will become a catastrophe.

Nowadays, with this charm value, it is very easy to get the favor of strangers. As soon as a college girl has a good impression, she will be very fond of it. All kinds of express hints, if he wants to go to clubs and bars every night, it is not a big deal to be a groom every night. question.

Fortunately, the stranger is a male, and the effect of high charisma is not obvious. It is basically a level that looks pleasing to the eye, and it is impossible to be gay, otherwise he can't help but want to change the system.

"Sorry Locke..."

"It's okay, Ms. Linda, I'm used to Erica's question just now." Locke was very calm: "I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't plan to have a girlfriend, at least at this stage."

"Why!" Erica couldn't help asking loudly.

"Dating or something will only delay my study time."
