Start an adventure from an American TV series

Chapter 13
The result was as expected at the beginning, and there was no suspense in the game at all.

After the first question appeared, Locke pressed the answering device almost immediately and gave the correct answer, which surprised the opponents. It felt that Locke's performance was better than last year.

However, after just over an hour, the game was over. The team led by Locke directly crushed the opponent with a super high gap of 78:22 and won the victory.

Glancing at the final score, the host announced immediately: "Our champion has been produced, and that is Sturt High School."

"Yes!" Lip, who won the victory, was very excited. He ran to the Holy Trinity High School Mathematical Olympiad team, almost pointing at the ashen-faced Trinity High School Mathematical Olympiad team captain Kent, and danced and sang:

"Do you like me now? Do you like this? Yeah!"

He still remembers the sarcastic attitude of Trinity High School captain Kent after winning last year, so he will naturally take the opportunity to return it at this time.

"Hmph." The captain of Trinity High School, Kent, blushed, turned around and left the game with a cold snort, not even participating in the awards ceremony after the game.

"You're still so arrogant after losing!" Seeing the other party leave, Lip complained angrily: "We were not like them when we were runner-up last year."

"Students, don't worry about this, just remember that we won, we will go to receive the prize now, everyone should enjoy the joy of victory." The math teacher who led the team clapped his hands and laughed.

Locke also understood the reason for the other party's rude behavior.

Because a person with high intelligence does not mean that they have a broad mind. On the contrary, because geniuses have far superior intelligence and are used to winning, they will have more negative emotions when facing failure or even different opinions.

This is not a special case. In the scientific world, there are many people like this. For example, Newton and Edison are generally recognized as examples of extremely bad character.

In the plot of Little Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory, it is very common for scientists to be red-faced because of theoretical disputes, and swords are at war.

Understandable and understandable, this does not mean that Locke is willing to accommodate the other party. Thinking of the plot when Leonard won the school physics competition in The Big Bang Theory, after receiving the medal, he said loudly:

"Everyone, don't care about those guys from Holy Trinity High School. It's fine if you don't want to accept the award. No matter how arrogant they are, there is still one person who disagrees."

"Ok?"

Everyone couldn't help looking at Locke.

"Our final champion medal!" Locke picked up the medal on his chest and waved it vigorously.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone looked at the direction in which the members of the Holy Trinity High School team left and laughed happily. As for the shadow area in the hearts of the Holy Trinity High School Mathematical Olympiad players after these words spread, what does it have to do with them?

While he was happy, Locke took a look at the system task and pocketed 500 potential points. It was a bit more fun to reward this kind of task, and it didn't take any trouble at all.

As for next year, Locke thinks he can do it again.

In addition to the rewards for completing the system tasks, the school also has cash rewards, a bonus of [-] US dollars. At the same time, the remaining five days are free to move around and see local scenic spots, or what kind of attractions are there.

The school had already paid for the hotel room fees in advance, and there was even a one thousand dollar reimbursement limit for each person, which added up to three thousand dollars, which was still very valuable in 1989.

It's no joke that good grades will make you money, both East and West.

If you are receiving happiness education, then you should be vigilant. If you cannot perceive this and work hard to get rid of the status quo, then you will be raised as a pig in the end, and the only value in society in the future is to be cut off Chives served on the table.

After staying in New York for a few days, the group returned to school in good spirits, and Locke realized that, before he knew it, Christmas was very close.

In his previous life in Dongguo, Locke didn't care much about Christmas. In this life, Locke is an orphan, and he doesn't have any special feelings about Christmas.

This Christmas, he will probably stay quietly in his dormitory as usual.

This weekend, Locke came to Mandy's house by bike and knocked on the door.

Soon a maid opened the door, saw Locke, and led him directly to Mandy's room, and saw Mandy wearing an orange coat at a glance.

"You came very early today." Leading Locke to the desk and placing the books on the table, Mandy said, "I still need to clean up. You should read the books for a while."

Locke didn't care. He took out the prepared book and read it. When he came to be a tutor, he had the idea of ​​messing with money. He worked for capitalists.

Locke gave her tutoring only for generous tuition fees. After winning the lottery, these supplementary tuition fees were not taken seriously by Locke, and at most they were used as pocket money for daily expenses.

Except for the opportunities that can be grasped in memory, Locke's investment in stocks is long-term holding. Some are similar to Buffett, and Locke with relevant memories will only do better than him.

After winning the lottery for the first time, Locke finally couldn't bear the greed in his heart and changed to another lottery bet.

He chose niche lotteries that were not rich in amount, and most of the prizes were hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Excluding all kinds of taxes, what you can get in the end is about half of the amount. If you want to learn from Buffett’s snowball, of course, the bigger the snowball at the beginning, the greater the future income.

Of course, the place to buy lottery tickets is not Dallas, but a nearby city, which is equivalent to changing a place with one shot.

All of this is to be as inconspicuous as possible, and the first prize of each lottery is only won once, so as to avoid being noticed to the greatest extent.

After all, if you always win the lottery, it will be too noticeable. Now Locke is just a nobody, and it will not have any good results to be targeted by those lottery issuers.

"Lock!" After a while, Mandy's voice came from behind, and what he saw made Locke salute slightly.

Seeing Locke's reaction, Mandy felt a little joy in her heart, and the smile on her face became even sweeter.

This time she had been preparing for a long time, through previous failures, carefully studied Locke's preferences, and specially prepared this 'battle uniform'.

The close-fitting clothing perfectly sets off Mandy's figure, and with her pure and sweet appearance, the temptation is further enhanced.

A girl with a pure and sweet appearance is not necessarily pure. At least the Mandy Locke knows is a very arrogant, selfish and cunning girl.

The girl's brand-new outfit in front of him was indeed very attractive, and Locke's eyes lingered on Mandy for a few seconds before slowly withdrawing: "Let's start, what else do you not understand about the parabola that I told you last time? "

"I still feel that there are many things I don't understand." Mandy came to sit next to Locke, showing a pitiful look, matched with a pure face, which was extremely attractive.

Raising his eyebrows, Locke has passed many tests, and said calmly: "Then let's start from the beginning. Look, the equation of a parabola is like this..."

Picking up a pen to write down the equation on the manuscript paper, Locke was just about to cooperate to draw the graph, but he didn't expect Mandy beside him. . .

"What are you doing!" Locke was taken aback by the girl's actions. It turned out that Mandy was only in the temptation stage, but he didn't expect it to be so straightforward this time.
