Chapter 62 Bank Robbers
Ashley has just graduated from high school, and her previous grades can only be said to be mediocre. It is basically impossible for her to go to a prestigious school, and she was not prepared to go to college before.

I stayed with Locke in New York for a few days, walked around all the bustling neighborhoods, chose luxury goods of various brands at will, and went to high-end restaurants.

After feeling the prosperity of New York, she grew up in a small town and had never been to a big city. She vowed in her heart that she must stay in a big city.

But the cost of living in a big city is high, and while chatting with Locke, he does the math for Ashley.

If she only relied on ordinary waiter jobs, it would be difficult to survive in a big city, let alone enjoy life as she thought.

Only after going to university and obtaining a higher degree can it be possible to come into contact with a higher-paying job.

Ashley didn't have much feeling for Locke's theory. She felt that with Locke's presence, she would definitely be able to give herself the life she wanted.

As for going to college, she doesn't care, but since Locke said it, let's try it.

She is not a top student, but under Samantha's supervision, she is definitely not a scumbag either. Knowing that Locke was thinking about herself, she accepted it without thinking too much.

The entry threshold for community colleges in the United States is very low, and there are not too many requirements for age and education. Basically, you can come as long as you pay tuition.

Even the tuition fees of most community colleges are very low, and the class time is also very free. Many people who cannot go to a real university can choose a community college if they want to learn something.

In The Big Bang Theory, after Penny and Leonard got together, she felt that her educational background was too far behind, and she wanted to shorten the distance between the two, so she enrolled in a community college.

It's just that as a big sister in high school, she has experienced the classic American happy education, her head is empty, and her essay writing is a mess.

Leonard, who had read her thesis, couldn't take it any longer, so he helped revise it.

Leonard felt that it was just a small change, but in fact, except for the title of the thesis, not a word of the content was the same.

Penny's self-esteem was hit hard, so she scolded Leonard angrily for this, and later slapped Leonard's face with her thesis that she "studied hard" and successfully got a B+, which can be said to be extremely chic.

But as soon as she turned around, she began to use the identity of the eldest sister to explain to Bernadette and Amy who helped her write the paper, and ordered them not to leak any news.

Bernadette and Amy were not at all unhappy with Penny's attitude, on the contrary, they were very excited, because they had never had such an intimate opportunity with a big sister like Penny in school before.

The academic system of community colleges is only two years, and if you have excellent grades, you also have the opportunity to enter regular universities for further study.

Even the credits taken at community colleges can be recognized by regular universities, saving the time for studying related subjects and not needing to take them again.

Of course, it is difficult to achieve this. In addition to grades, it also depends on whether the community college where you are located can get access to regular university resources.

This is naturally not a problem for Locke. By then, he will definitely be able to manage enough contacts. With the ability to make money, it may not be easy for Ashley to enter a top prestigious school, but a slightly inferior university is completely within reach.

After breakfast at Monica's place, Locke left with Ashley and Tang Wei, thinking about system changes.

Completed last night, Ross bravely asked Carol for a man's request. The potential points obtained by Locke, together with the original accumulation, allowed him to increase his physical fitness to 200 points.

A physique of [-] points is not what the pure statistics show, it is only twice that of an ordinary person.

After Locke's own private test, it is at least three times more than ordinary people.

At the same time, the system has also been updated. According to the description, the mission system has been optimized to trigger more missions.

Other than that, no more explanation.

When they arrived at the apartment building, the three of them drove to send Tang Wei to work at Sky Fund.

Halfway there, suddenly a fiery red BMW 760 rushed past his car like a wind.

Tang Wei also noticed that beautiful BMW: "This is a downtown area, isn't it? If you drive so fast, aren't you afraid that the police will issue a ticket?"

As soon as the words fell, a siren sounded from behind, and police cars rushed past one after another. Looking at the direction of pursuit, it was obvious that they were heading for the fiery red BMW. .

"Wow, it's so exciting, is this a drag racing party?" Ashley opened the car window with some excitement.

Locke turned on the high-definition view map mode. Looking back at the moment when he and the BMW intersected just now, there seemed to be four women sitting in the BMW, and the beauty driving the car seemed familiar.

Soon, Locke remembered that Ji Niangniang's face and long legs, one of the most famous models in the United States in the previous life, were also objects of his fantasy.

Immediately afterwards, Locke remembered the origin of the scene in front of him. It seemed to be a movie, and Ji Niangniang played the female robber as the villain.

The plot is simple, but it's a pity that the robbers were caught in the end. After all, there are four beauties. After all, this is a world that depends on appearance.

"Ding, the mission is triggered: It would be a pity if such beautiful robbers are imprisoned, please help them escape successfully, the mission rewards 150 potential points."

"..."

Has the system started to look at faces these days?
Also, why did the plots of Die Hard and Octagon that I encountered before not trigger missions, only sitcoms like Little Sheldon... Wait, it seems that the mission system has just been optimized.

Could it be that the previous task system could not trigger tasks related to the movie plot, but now it can?
Thinking in his heart, Locke stepped on the accelerator subconsciously, intending to follow him to have a look.

It's just that at this time, the fiery red BMW and the police car have already run a long distance, and they can't be seen after turning a corner.

When Locke followed to the intersection, he couldn't see anything, but the road ahead caused confusion. A bunch of cars were stuck there, and Locke had to stop.

"It seems that it will take a while for the traffic to return to normal. If this continues, we will be late." Looking at the surrounding situation, Tang Wei said: "Why don't you get off the car and go, anyway, it's not far from the company."

Giving up and continuing to track, Locke nodded: "Do you need me to take you?"

"No need, didn't you promise Ashley to buy a car with her later?" Tang Wei opened the car door and got out of the car with her bag.

Locke and Ashley waited in the car for a while, and the police who cleared the traffic also rushed over, but depending on the situation, the traffic could not be restored in a short time.

Tired of staying in the car, the two got out of the car and stood by the car watching the police busy there.

It happened that two more policemen were not far away, discussing the robber just now:
"Those robbers were not only brave enough to rob banks in downtown New York, but their cars were good and their driving skills were also good. The police dispatched [-] police cars in the first place, but they still couldn't stop them. Most of them have escaped by now."

Another policeman curled his lips: "In the end, it's because they drive a BMW 760Li, which is much better than the broken police car in the bureau!"

"It's not just because of the car." The policeman who spoke before said, "The robber's driving skills are really good. Not everyone can run at a speed of more than [-] yards in the urban area."

"Well, their driving skills are really good, so it's not surprising that they can escape." The other policeman shrugged.

Hearing this, Locke wanted to inquire about the information and determine the progress of the plot, so he asked, "What's going on? Why are there so many police cars chasing that BMW?"

The two policemen looked at Locke, intending to warn them, but seeing Locke's attire, they kept silent.

Locke took out his wallet and took out two pieces of cash: "I'm just curious, and the movement is so big, it won't be long before I can see it on the news."

The two policemen thought about it and accepted the cash: "Four robbers just robbed a bank. According to the bank, they took away more than 300 million in cash."

"I see, thank you for satisfying my curiosity." Locke nodded.

"It is my pleasure, sir."

The police were also very polite, because Locke was a rich man at first glance, and the police in the United States depended more on donations from rich people than taxes.

"This is really interesting. I have been in the small town for so many years, and I have never encountered such a bank robbery."

After the two policemen walked away, Ashley showed a look of watching the excitement: "I just don't know if those policemen can catch the robbers."

"Who knows." Locke shrugged his shoulders: "If they are not greedy and leave immediately after getting a sum of money, it may be difficult to find them again."
