I would do both of those activities relentlessly.

I’d start with the books giving strength because I could use more of that asap, and then when the reps with the weights are easy, swap to those and super-genius myself.

Frankly some exploit like this would make real life -so much easier-! I hate doing things that are super hard and a lot of work, only to make that same thing slightly easier later. I’d love to get unrelated skills from activities.

Shit I’d even take random stats. +1 int, then +1 cha, then +1 sta etc. just gimme all the buffs!!!

Knowledge is power.

But is power also knowledge??
