Chapter 33 'Popular Science' Magic

At noon the next day, Tang Wei, who had a rosy complexion, was lying on the bed, watching Locke organize his clothes and luggage, and couldn't help showing complicated emotions.

Although the relationship between two people was just a transaction from the beginning, human nature is complicated and their minds can change at any time.

During this period of time, the two of them got along harmoniously, coupled with being stabbed in the back by her father, there was a lack of love in the first place, so she couldn't help raising expectations in her heart.

It's just that Locke's attitude is very clear, and at the same time, he also said that she can choose freely, so that she can confirm once again that the man in front of her is a scumbag, and he is still a scumbag with a clear attitude from the beginning.

"Although deep affection is good, you must not be greedy for it!"

At this moment, she can only warn herself like this, but she has no intention of leaving. After all, she still needs Locke to help pay the tuition and living expenses of the university, so that she can devote more energy to her studies.

In the end, Locke boarded the plane after Tang Wei saw him off, and embarked on a journey back to Dallas.

Meanwhile, in the Coopers' yard, Peggy and Misty sat facing each other on two stacked blankets, each surrounded by a circle of assorted dolls.

The warm sunshine shone on the two of them, and they sat down among the little bears, little dinosaurs and various dolls, holding cups of brewed tea in their hands, and having a girly tea party.

"Speaking of tea, do you know how it was discovered?" Peggy picked up the teapot and added a cup of tea to herself.

"I don't know, there are so many things I don't know, you feel like Sheldon at this moment." Mixi shrugged nonchalantly.

Peggy didn't care about Mihi's statement, and said with a smile: "It is said that Shennong in ancient China once tasted hundreds of wild plants in order to find out their effects, and tea is one of the things he tried.

However, there is another saying that when he was boiling water in the garden, a tea tree leaf fell into the pot, which made him discover the function of tea. "

"The tea actually comes from a tree!" Mixi tilted his head, looking at the tea in his hand, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Otherwise, where do you think it came from." Peggy glanced at Mixi angrily.

"From the supermarket." Mihi took it for granted.

"..." Peggy smiled politely. At this moment, she also felt that she and Mixi couldn't get along.

The gap in IQ is not just a numerical description, it represents a huge generation gap. Although Peggy is still a child at this time, it is often difficult to play with children of the same age.

Little Sheldon has more topics with her, but he is more hostile to Peggy, so it is difficult for the two of them to talk together. In contrast, it is more comfortable to be with Locke.

Thinking of this, Peggy couldn't help but miss Locke a little bit, and didn't know what he was doing in New York. As far as she knew, Locke was only in the Math Olympiad last year...

Thinking of this, Peggy suddenly froze for a moment, and several vague pictures appeared in her mind, which seemed to be a strange but familiar memory, but when she tried to recall it carefully, she couldn't recall it at all.

"Peggy, Peggy..."

After a while, Peggy came back to her senses, looked at the fingers in front of her, stretched out her hand and patted it aside: "I'm fine, I just thought of something from the past."

That said, but Peggy's heart was full of doubts. With her IQ, she naturally had a memory like Sheldon's high-definition phase map, but she just couldn't remember what happened at that time.

There must be some special reason for this.

Locke, who had just returned to his room at this time, did not know about Peggy's changes, nor did he expect that there would be a problem with Balthazar's magic.

In fact, this is no wonder for Balthazar. What he cast was the magic of temporarily sealing memory. Compared with other magic for memory, this magic will not cause any harm to the brain.

But the effect of magic will gradually weaken over time, and the effect of the seal will completely disappear after two or three years.

Ordinary children usually cannot accurately remember the memory of a certain day two years ago, and these memories will naturally be forgotten in the depths of their minds.

But Balthazar didn't know that Peggy was the kind of genius who could recall all the memories just by thinking, even down to the second.

Fortunately, the effect of magic will last at least one or two years, and Locke doesn't have to worry about this problem for the time being. He just returned to his dormitory and sat in front of his desk, turning his pen.

These days in New York, I have almost consulted the accumulated questions about magic, and Locke began to think about his side job again.

What kind of sub-profession is suitable for him now, and can also bring his fame to spread widely and bring him great fame.

In terms of fame, scientists are obviously not as good as singers or actors. Scientists are awesome, and most of them are circulated in the circle. It is not easy to get out of the circle.

On the contrary, it is easier for singers or top actors in the United States to spread their fame all over the world.

Considering that the main occupation is a student, learning scientific knowledge will greatly help learning magic, and these cannot be given up.

Singers and actors, not to mention the various intrigues in the entertainment industry, it is not so easy to stand out.

Even after becoming famous, you also need to run various event announcements, make friends with various 'big shots' to get more 'opportunities', and maintain your exposure rate, all of which need to spend a lot of time.

In this way, it completely contradicts Locke's goal of putting learning first. What he needs is the kind that doesn't consume a lot of energy and can work part-time as an amateur.

Because his most important goal at present is to improve his magic level and achieve longevity as soon as possible.

After careful consideration, Locke found that there are still professions that can gain great fame without wasting too much time.

That is to be a writer. A top writer can spread his reputation all over the world, and even become world famous with a single work.

It's like Rowling, who wrote the little wizard, directly became a world-renowned writer with Harry Potter. Even many uncles and aunts in the Eastern Kingdom have heard of her.

The threshold for writing is very low, but talent is very important. Locke had mediocre talent in his previous life, and he could barely get a full-time job in the online literary circle, but it doesn't mean that Locke doesn't have this condition now.

A top writer needs inspiration and beautiful writing. Now with his super high IQ, writing problems are not a problem as long as he thinks about it.

As for inspiration, Locke may not be able to conceive stories out of thin air like those talented writers. Can't he be a copywriter? He has read countless online articles in his previous life, and the stories are put there, waiting for Locke to turn them into beautifully written works .

Among them, those suitable for the United States are naturally based on fantasy. After some screening, Locke first selected an early web article "Arcane Throne"

Of course, Locke must make some changes to the setting of the novel to make him more perfect. First of all, the arcane art in the book can be completely replaced by the magic concept he is learning now.

That is to say, Locke, who is a magician, is going to write a fantasy novel. It is interesting to think about popular science magic here.

"Knowledge equals power."

"The so-called god is just a stronger arcanist."

"We will re-examine the world from the perspective of the arcane, where science is arcane, and arcane is science!"

After writing the beginning of this introduction, Locke suddenly felt that his thoughts were springing up, took out the paper from the drawer, and started writing quickly.

The improvement of intelligence can be said to be all-round, just like the protagonist in the movie "Never Ending", after taking the "smart drug NZT48", he completed a work of tens of thousands of words in just one day, and the quality is still impressive. The editor was dumbfounded.

But the protagonist in the movie, even after eating NZT48, cannot compare with Locke in IQ. As long as he has a story idea, writing is really easy for Locke.

About an hour later, Locke glanced at the densely packed manuscript paper and thought:
"The speed of handwriting is not as fast as typing. It takes so long to write more than 1000 words by hand. If it is typing, it can easily be doubled.

Wait, why did I forget, at this time, the computer has appeared and can print. "

Thinking of this, Locke scolded himself for being an idiot. He didn't think of this, so he left the dormitory and went to the nearest electrical store.

He has his own computer and a network cable, but he doesn't have a printer. At the same time, he can upgrade his computer configuration by the way this time.

So Locke directly ordered a bunch of accessories. In addition, there were floppy disks and personal printer manuscript paper and other odds and ends. Under the power of the dollar, they were sent to the dormitory immediately.
