Chapter 4 Genius Girl Tool Man

When he arrived at the restaurant, his father Robert was sitting on the sofa watching TV, while his mother Lisa was busy bringing things to the dining table. When he saw the three people downstairs, he smiled and said, "Children, come and sit down, Robert, come and have dinner quickly."

Robert Bennett, the town sheriff, and Lisa is a housewife. She manages the house well and likes to write some things part-time. Unfortunately, she has never achieved any great results. Of course, she is still a believer of God.

It is barely enough to be a typical middle-class American family. 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 his children like those poor people, and he even needs to worry about eating.

Of course, it would be even better if he could remove some troublesome and boring prayers before the meal that he thought was.

"Well, kids, how are you doing today." After praying, the family started to eat, and Robert began to learn about the children's dynamics through the nightly chat.

"Elizabeth?"

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

She is a typical good girl. She does whatever her parents say. She studies very hard and has very good grades. Because of her mother Lisa's guidance, she is very interested in medicine and is preparing to be a doctor in the future.

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

"Very good." Robert nodded. He had always been more at ease with his eldest daughter. Then he looked at Link and said, "What about Link, what about you?"

"It's very good. In addition to the recommendation letters from several teachers, I just got the recommendation letter from the principal. As long as my SSAT score is sufficient, it will not be surprising that I will receive a full scholarship at Lola High School next."

"That's great kid!" American parents never stingy with compliments on their children. Lisa immediately smiled and said, "I'm proud of you, kid."

"Thank you!" Link nodded.

After Lisa finished speaking, she looked at Bianca and said, "I believe you will have a good grade. Of course, if you have free time, you may be able to take some time to tutor your homework for Bianca."

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

"Oh~" Link heard Bianca's sigh next to him at this time, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. This little girl is a typical happy poor student, and Lisa has had many headaches for her.

Two of the three children in the family are very worry-free, so parents will naturally unconsciously focus more on the naughty children.

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

"Nothing, a boring day," Bianca said.

Seeing that Bianca was still a little unhappy, Lisa said, "Dear, are you still sad?"

"It's nothing." Bianca obviously didn't want Robert to hear something, so he hurriedly said, "Let me say something happy, well... That Peggy is going to middle school, so I don't have to see him at school."

"Peggy? Are you saying that the neighbors often come to our house to study with Link. They are a very smart little girl? I remember she is only eight years old."

"Mom, I feel bad when I say that, because I still have to see her at home every day." Bianca couldn't help but collapsed her face again.

"That girl is indeed very smart. I heard that she has started to study college courses by herself!" Lisa said and looked at Link again.

"Yes, her IQ reached 187. Although she was only 8 years old and started learning various knowledge later than me, the learning speed was really amazing. If it weren't for her age, I think she could even go directly to college to further her studies."

Link said with a little emotion: "A genius like her cannot simply speculate based on her age and academic qualifications. I estimate that at most one or two years, her knowledge reserve in some majors will be able to reach the level of some master's or even doctoral degrees."

He had only heard of it in his previous life, but only after real contact in this life did he realize the terror of these geniuses. He felt that both sides seemed to be not in the same dimension, and their memory, comprehension and computing abilities were too many of them.

Through development, Link, who has improved his intelligence to 12.5 points, can now be said to be a little genius, but it only makes Link's IQ reach 130, and at most it can be considered excellent.

In addition, Link also found that although the increase in intelligence will bring about an increase in IQ, it is not related to the linear proportion, or the higher the progress, the smaller the impact on IQ.

So although Link can have an IQ of 136 with an intelligence of 12.5 now. If he wants to reach an IQ of more than 140 and reach the level of genius in the usual sense, he probably needs to brush his intelligence to 14 points.

However, even now, the benefits of high IQ have been appreciated by Link.

The difficulties he encountered in his previous life when he was studying were now easier to understand and understand. When facing the students in his class, he could always feel a little superiority in IQ.

But compared with Peggy, who has an IQ of more than 180, even if the other party is an 8-year-old girl, he is still the crushed party. This is not something that can be clearly seen by simple test scores, and the gap is in all aspects.

To give a simple example, let’s talk about mental arithmetic ability. Using the learned fast calculation method and continuous training, Link can do the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of double-digit numbers without thinking about the results in an instant.

But if it is more complicated, and if it is added with complex operations such as fractions and calculus, even if he is given a calculator assistance, he will not be as good as Page. He feels like a humanoid computer.

This reminded Link of a movie called "Beautiful Mind" I saw in his previous life. The protagonist can do things that many software cannot do with his own mental computing power.

Of course, the feeling of being crushed in IQ is really not very good. Even if Link has a Buddhist personality, he will inevitably feel a little unhappy. In the past year, he has often communicated with Page for another purpose.

After hearing Link say this, everyone else was surprised, while Bianca said directly: "So I said she is a freak."

"Bianca!" Lisa said directly.

"Okay, pretend I didn't say it!"

After Bian stuck his mouth, Robert nodded: "Well, this is indeed a, well...shocking girl."

Link explained at this time: "Actually, this is nothing. High IQ is very common among scientists. If it does not have an IQ that is far beyond ordinary people, it is impossible to understand such a complex theory."

"That's true." Robert nodded and said, "So even so, are you still going to be a scientist? ... Well, you know, you may be great, but compared to those, well, Peggy, geniuses, you have some talent, but..."

"Of course, this is my dream, and I plan to become a mathematician." Link answered directly.

He knew that Robert wanted him to be a baseball player because in the eyes of ordinary people in Texas, scientists are obviously not as popular as celebrities or athletes.

The favorite sport of Texans is rugby and baseball. Robert had the idea of ​​being a baseball player when he was a child. Later, he realized that he lacked talent in this area, so he went to join the army and then worked as a policeman in this town after retirement.

Link is still a teenager, but with his own exercise and system assistance, he has completely overwhelmed his peers in all aspects of physical fitness. His grades were outstanding during baseball training and competitions.

Therefore, in his baseball coach's opinion, Link has some talent in baseball, and even a private high school with strong baseball wants to recruit Link, but this is obviously inconsistent with Link's plan.

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

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

The dinner conversation ended here. After dinner, Link went back to his room to start studying.

He is also more fortunate now than to have a girl, otherwise he would have to share a room with the other party, rather than having his own room now. After all, their family has two bedrooms except for the master bedroom.

After a while, Link heard Lisa shouting downstairs: "Link, Page is here to find you."

"Okay." Link responded, put down the pen in his hand, walked downstairs, and then saw the topic of today's dinner - Page.
