Reborn in America

Chapter 15: The Birth of the Brother

On October 15, 1946, Richard Carpenter was born. There is another male in Carpenter's family, and Alex has an additional brother.

Richard was born in the same hospital as Alex was born, or the same doctor delivered the baby. Surprisingly, he still remembered Alex, and when he recognized Bart, he immediately remembered this.

"Hi! Lucky little guy! Did you know that when you were born, we were all shocked!" The doctor said to Alex when he saw him.

Alex smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you for saving my life, doctor!"

The doctor waved his hand and said, "It was God's arrangement. Go and thank him."

When Alex heard this, he was a little disapproved. He never felt that he was resurrected by Jehovah. God only resurrected his own son. Alex did not dare to recognize God as his father. That was Hong Xiuquan's job.

"Brother's name is Richard?" Alex asked strangely.

Bart replied happily, "Yes! Your brother is called Richard. Don't bully him in the future."

"Richard Carpenter? It seems familiar!" Alex thought to himself, but he didn't delve into the problem.

The younger brother is very cute and his hair color is the same as that of his father Bart. This is not like Alex, his hair is blond hair inherited from his mother Angel. In terms of eyes, both of them are blue, which is also from mother Angel. As for the figure and skin tone, Richard can't see it for the time being, and Alex appears taller and fairer than the other children.

Richard has been very smart since he was a child, and was able to speak before he was a year old. Because he often listened to Alex rehearsal, he showed his talent in music very early. Before speaking, he already knew how to beat the cradle with the rhythm of the music.

This makes Bart and Angel very happy, they believe that this young son is also a musical genius. They also specifically went to the professor who had tested Alex's IQ before, and asked them to test Richard's IQ too.

The result is also amazing, Richard's IQ is as high as 180! It made Alex, a fake genius stunned. He knew that Richard's IQ was not low, but he didn't expect it to be so high.

Bart and Angel are very proud of the result. They are already planning to have another child.

"I hope it's a girl!" Bart said to Angel.

Angel frowned slightly and said, "I'll talk about it in a few years! I have given birth to you two children, so I won't let me rest!"

Bart laughed and stopped talking. They plan to train Richard like Alex did.

So when Richard knew how to walk and read, they couldn't wait to teach him about music. Richard lived up to expectations and learned very quickly.

Sometimes, Alex wondered if his younger brother was another reborn. However, his thoughts are baseless, and Richard is indeed a genius! A genuine musical genius.

Richard started learning accordion, piano, drums and other musical instruments at the age of three, almost a year earlier than Alex! He learned very fast, no less than the Alex of the year. He followed Alex's a*s, and he did what Alex did.

Soon, Alex’s unique secret, the seven-minute exercise method, was learned by Richard. He also followed Alex to do these twelve sets of actions every day, and he didn't want to fall a little bit.

Richard's development is also much faster than ordinary children, perhaps this is the genetic inheritance of the Carpenter family, after all, Bart and Angel are both tall people. Especially Bart, his bones, even if put on the basketball court, are outstanding.

Perhaps it is because Bart and the others have adopted an unusual way of education, which caused Richard to become mature, speaking and behaving differently from ordinary children. This may be the price paid by gifted children.

When Richard was over three years old, Alex was seven years old and went to a school near his home. In fact, Bart didn't want him to go to school at all, and he basically didn't go to class. It was just that Angel insisted, so he had to ** and go to school when he was free.

In the past three years, Alex continued to perform with Bart and the others and made a lot of money. During this period of time, Alex worked hard to exercise and kept exploring the limits of his abilities.

At this time, Bart decided to quit the "Owl" band with Alex and formed another band called "Carpenter Brothers". Yes, Richard also joined the show.

The lead singer of the band is Alex, and Richard sometimes joins the duet. At the same time, Alex is also a guitarist, Bart is a drummer, and Richard is sometimes responsible for accompaniment with instruments such as accordion and piano. In addition, Bart will also ask one or two professional personnel to play other musical instruments as appropriate. More often, only three of them will perform on stage.

Without the burden of "Owls", they became more popular. Soon, the "Carpenter Brothers" band became frequent performers in various venues.

In any case, Alex continued to sing and novels continued to be written. He never gave up the idea of writing a best-selling novel, maybe this is the obsession he brought over in his previous life.

He has seen the plot of the movie version, but it is impossible to restore the original Harry Potter completely. In this case, Alex intends to write his own "Harry Potter", with his own style and setting.

Of course, the outline of the story and some sections still use the original content. However, Alex will add some elements he thinks is good to strengthen some of the weak parts of Aunt Rowling. After all, Alex has been on the Internet for so many years, and he has read so many articles, even if he doesn't need to recall them completely, he can silently write down some elements of the articles.

For example, the setting of the power system in the original "Harry Potter" book is not very detailed, and there are no various realms and various power levels similar to those in the fairy tale. This made Alex feel very upset, because without this setting, he would lose the pleasure of killing monsters and upgrading.

"What the hell, the description of the combat power system is so confusing, I don't know who is strong and who is weak! This has to be changed! Um, change!"

Alex decided to divide the power system of "Harry Potter" into nine levels: Apprentice Magic, Junior Magician, Intermediate Magician, Advanced Magician, Archmage, Sorcerer, Archmage, Legendary Mage, Holy Master!

At the same time add a magic ring setting, there are a total of nine rings, respectively for different levels of mage levels.

As for how to judge whether a mage has reached a certain level, it only needs to see whether he can stably link to the corresponding magic ring.

The magic apprentice can only touch the outer layer of the magic ring, which is the magic of the 1st ring. The junior magician is able to access a deeper level of magic, that is, the magic of the 2nd level. And so on!

"There is a magician, but if there is only a magician, it feels too monotonous. Do you want to add a warrior's power system to it?" After Alex thinks about it, forget it. He was worried that adding too many things would make foreigners of this era unable to accept the impact of Chinese online literature in the 21st century.

"Don't take too much steps, it's not fun to pull the egg!" Alex continued to perfect the setting.

The purpose of the mage is to "shape". Simply put, it is to use everything to change himself so that he can control more magic elements, shape it into magic, understand the true meaning of the rules, shape his own domain, and create rules! At this point, the mage can already be like a god.

After the power is set, the genre of magic can also be determined. Generally speaking, magic can be classified into three levels: "will", "knowledge" and "means".

Magic involves all three aspects, but different schools of magic have different focuses. Generally speaking, will determines the effect of spells, and knowledge can increase the success rate of magic. The method is to choose spells or items according to the environment.

There is also the method of casting. In the original book, in addition to using the magic wand, some magics also need to be cast when they are cast to be successful. Finally, "silent curse" and so on appeared. These contents can be kept!

After setting the story background, the next step is to refine the outline. This is easy to handle. The main body still follows the direction of the original book, but in some branches, it does not need to follow the original direction.

As for the fight, Alex thinks this is not to mention, the fight in the original "Harry Potter" is simply a mess, even if it is a duel with the boss, it is just you, me, it is boring!

But now it's different. With the new power system setting, Alex can try his best to write the fighting aspect more coolly based on the web articles he has read.

"Your sister! Junior high school students are just junior high school students, I want to take the path of Xiaobai Wencheng God! I want to guard against the sky!" Alex finally felt that he must stick to it. In his opinion, Aunt Rowling's writing is also Not bad, anyway, the book is written for children, so why do you want such a high level of writing?

After figuring out the truth, Alex stopped struggling with the problem of writing! The speed of his writing has improved by leaps and bounds, and the white version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was produced in just two months.

Alex did not ask his parents for help this time, he asked Richard to be the first reader. After all, the Carpenters are not his target users, only children of Richard's age are.

"How is it?" After Alex gave the manuscript to Richard, he couldn't wait to ask him before he could finish reading more than ten pages.

Richard continued to watch silently, turning over page after page of the manuscript without leaving his eyes.

"How is it?" Alex waited for more than ten minutes and couldn't bear it anymore!

"Shh! Don't make a noise, I'm still watching!" Richard finally said aloud this time, but his gaze remained on the manuscript.

After finally waiting for Richard to finish reading, he only saw him put down the manuscript and stretched out his hand to Alex: "What's next?"

"No!" Alex was stunned, and then replied: "This is only the first one. What do you think of this novel? Does it look good!"

"Not bad! It looks good!" Richard stood up, and then continued to remind the manuscript: "You have to write down the following quickly!"

"Really? Do you find it interesting?" Alex asked a little unconfidently. After all, he is now immune to this kind of article and can't tell the good or the bad.

"Yes!" Richard replied very positively, and then reminded: "Brother, don't forget to write it down! I still want to know what happened next!"

With Richard's affirmation, Alex finally felt a little confident. He sent the book to Bantan Book Company, a paper book publishing house. It also has the reputation of "Bantam" because it uses Bantam as its social standard. It is as famous as the British "Penguin Company".

As for why the book is sent to this publishing house, it is because Bantan Books is the largest paper book publishing house in the United States in the 21st century!

It was established in 1945 to publish fiction and non-fiction popular reading materials, including softcover, paper cover and hardcover. The categories include classical works, literature and art, business, philosophy, psychology, language, history, politics and various Kind of dictionary.

Alex thinks that his kind of writing book for junior high school students, if sent to other publishing houses, might not pass the editor's first review. After all, the vision of the editor is also very important! Bantan Book Company was able to grow so big later because they were eclectic and able to accept all kinds of new things.

Finally, Alex thought for a while, still attached his basic situation to the manuscript, and also included a post-reading feeling written by his brother Richard.

He can only hope that the other party can see the possibility of the children's market and his age advantage! You know, Aunt Rowling's manuscript was not smooth from the beginning!

"That's it! This is already my best effort!"

Alex didn't want to worry about it anymore, so he sent the manuscript out.

After everything is done, we can only wait. Alex can only hope that "Harry Potter", a big killer that travels through the crowd, can really work.
