Rebirth of America: The American Drama System

University of Chicago.

"Huh?"

Hearing Katie's unclear question, Owen looked over in surprise: "The Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago is always ranked among the top five in the United States. Isn't it normal for me to choose the University of Chicago?"

"Right."

Katie's eyes were evasive, and she was a little panicked by the question. She looked sideways at the crowds of people passing by in twos and threes, and changed the subject: "The exam is about to start, I'm going in."

"kindness."

Owen understood in his heart and raised the corner of his mouth: "Go in and wait patiently. It is estimated that it will take 45 to 90 minutes before the official test. Adjust your state. With your strength, it will be easy to get a high score. I'm outside." Wait for you."

"No."

Katie refused: "The exam takes 4 hours. Including the waiting time, it is too long. I am already very grateful that you came with me today. Please don't affect your exam tomorrow."

"I insist."

Owen said firmly.

Just kidding, as the saying goes: "When a woman blushes, she feels emotional!"

Under Owen's strategy of retreating, Katie was still willing to accept his kindness and let him accompany him in the exam. At this moment, her face was red and her eyes were shining, making it clear that she was clearly telling Owen!

"All right."

Katie glanced at Owen, said softly, and walked towards the examination room tremblingly.

To be honest, when it comes to looks, Owen prefers people like Karen Jackson and Gretchen Venus. Thinking about it, what attracted him to Katie in the first place was her level of trembling that was comparable to that of Karen Smith...

"Hey, I'm such a vulgar person. I thought I liked temperament, but I didn't expect that deep down my favorite thing is the wave equation."

Owen reflected on himself.

Of course, Karen Smith and Gretchen Venus did not let Owen get the driver card. After asking about the American drama system, Owen learned that the goddess required for the driver card must not only have good looks, but also good luck. Only the heroines of some European and American film and television dramas, as well as supporting actresses with outstanding luck, can give Owen a driver's card.

Today, Saturday, is the SAT1 test!

Owen's SAT2 test will be held tomorrow, Sunday!

After Owen watched Katie enter the examination room, he turned around and prepared to visit the University of Chicago to waste time. After all, SAT1 involves three parts: reading, writing, and mathematics. Plus the long waiting time, it takes a full five or six hours. Even for It's... love, and Owen won't wait here.

"Huh!"

But when he just turned around and walked out, a familiar figure flashed in front of his eyes. When he took a closer look, he saw a hooded man hunched over in the corner of the flower bed, taking the hand from a happy fat man. There was an exam bag containing admission tickets and other things. The two of them talked softly for a few words, and the hooded man walked towards the exam room with the exam bag in hand.

During this process, the hooded man glanced left and right. With his cool face and slightly bowed posture, if he wasn't his great brother Lip Gallagher, who could he be?

Owen's gaze was unconcealed, and Lip noticed it very sensitively. When his eyes swept over here, there was a trace of panic on his face, but then he lowered his head and left quickly.

"hehe."

Owen suddenly realized, looked at Lip's figure, smiled lightly, and murmured to himself: "Character determines destiny!"

Ever since Frank Gallagher suddenly had the idea of ​​'being a good father for once' and threatened Owen, Owen without saying a word directly used the exclusive skill of the time-travelling reborn person called 'dimensionality reduction strike' to kill Frank the next day. Sent to prison, he fulfilled what Owen promised: "I will never appear in front of Frank again"...

Afterwards, Owen Sage Lee heard Karen Jackson speak several times while he was in a state of wandering mind!

Owen's 'dimensionality reduction strike' was so sharp that it not only sent Frank Gallagher to prison, but also caused the entire Gallagher family, which was rampant in thievery and abduction, to fall apart.

The house was undoubtedly taken away. As the eldest sister, Fiona was an adult and had a job, but she was not married. In front of the child protection organization, there was no way to take custody of her younger siblings.

As a result, the fourth child, Debbie, the fifth child, Carl, and the sixth child, Liam, who were all under ten years old, were all taken away by the child protection organization, leaving only Lip and Ian, who were over 16 years old.

Fiona's lover Jimmy helped buy a house next door as a temporary residence for the Gallagher family. After Fiona was sad for a period of time, she let go and fell in love with Jimmy.

Lip and Ian even returned to normal without being sad for the entire day!

Gallagher's shameless genes and shameless living habits make them all relatively indifferent. They do have feelings for their relatives, but they will never exceed or even come close to themselves, which is extremely selfish!

Without the burden of Frank and three young children, Lip feels more free to be honest!

But in America, everything must abide by Franklin's Supreme Law. This is something that the Gallagher family, whether it is the adult eldest sister Fiona or the under-10-year-olds Debbie and Carl, have deeply understood over the years. .

Lip, who is freer, wants to live a better life, so he naturally wants Franklin who pursues more.

He is still in school. During the summer vacation, he can go out with the bartender to sell indescribable things. However, the summer vacation is not long after all. With his lv4+ intelligence, high school studies are too easy for him. It is so long. Naturally, he would not waste school time.

The SAT, as the American college entrance examination, is very simple for talented people like Lip, but for other people who want to go to college but have empty minds, it is too difficult. There is a relationship between supply and demand, and transactions can naturally occur.

In fact, when Lip easily passed the SAT with high scores when he was just entering high school, he was astute and discovered this opportunity to make money part-time.

There are 7 opportunities to take the SAT every year. In the entire four years of high school, there are a total of 28 opportunities!

Today's proctoring of exams in the United States is not as strict as that of later generations. As long as you are brave, it is easy to do things like taking exams for you. Of course, this is also related to the American University's policy of being lenient in and strict in exiting.

Going to college is very expensive, and correspondingly, college is very profitable, so they turn a blind eye. If you want to spend a lot of money to go to college, they will naturally not make it difficult for you.

But this is also an unspoken rule!

On the surface, once you are caught taking the exam for a substitute, both the test taker and the substitute will face severe penalties. The most basic thing is that you will not be able to take the SAT exam, and your previous scores will be completely invalid, which means you are not qualified. Going to college.

Of course Lip knows the risks, but the habit he has developed since he was a child is to walk on the edge of crisis. In the face of making money, how can he care about the big risk that his bright future may be ruined!

no Zuo no Die!

Therefore, after Owen saw Lip sneaking into the examination room as a substitute, he sighed: "Character really determines destiny!"

In the original time and space, Lip was able to embark on a different path from his brothers and sisters. Rather than relying on his IQ, it was entirely dependent on the protagonist's luck and the help of various noble people he met!

But in the end, he still messed up again and again. In the final analysis, it was because of the character he had developed since he was a child. He forgot his life for small gains and cherished his life for big things.

To borrow Frank's words when faced with Karen's temptation: "Don't tempt me. I don't want to, but I can't control it..."

The inability to control desires and desires is the real reason why Lip and Frank and his son turned from high-IQ talents with a bright future to shameless drunkards!
