Chapter 13 Apologize properly

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

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

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

After taking a look at the final score, the host immediately announced: "Our champion has been chosen, and that is Sturt High School."

"Yes!" Lip was very excited after winning. He ran to the Holy Trinity High School Mathematical Olympiad team and almost pointed at Kent, the captain of the Holy Trinity High School Mathematical Olympiad team who looked ashen, and danced and sang:

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

He still remembered the sarcastic attitude of Kent, the captain of Holy Trinity High School, after he won last year. He naturally wanted to take the opportunity to return the favor at this time.

"Hmph." Kent, the captain of Holy Trinity High School, turned red in the face, snorted coldly, turned around and left the game, and did not even participate in the awards ceremony after the game.

"You are still so arrogant after losing!" Watching the opponent leave, Lip complained angrily: "We were not like them when we were runners-up last year."

"Students, don't worry about this. Just remember that we won. We will go to receive the award now. Let's enjoy the joy after victory." The math teacher who led the team clapped his hands and smiled.

"Don't worry about those guys from Trinity High School. It's okay if they don't want to accept the award. No matter how arrogant they act, there is still one person who disagrees."

After excluding various taxes, what you can get in the end is only about half of the amount. If you want to learn from Buffett's snowball method, of course, the bigger the snowball is at the beginning, the more generous the future income will be.

In the plots of Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory, it is very common for scientists to become red-faced and tense over their theories.

In addition to the opportunities that can be grasped in memory, Locke's investments in stocks are long-term holdings. Some are similar to Buffett. Locke with relevant memories will only do better than him.

In his previous life in the Eastern Kingdom, Locke didn't care much about Christmas. In this life, Locke is an orphan and has no special feelings about Christmas.

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

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

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

While he was happy, Locke took a look at the system tasks and pocketed 500 potential points. It was more fun to get such a task reward, and it was not troublesome at all.

That weekend, Locke rode to Mandy's house and knocked on the door.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Locke.

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

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

It is no joke that you can make money if you have good grades. This is true both in the East and in the West.

If you receive a happy education, then you should be wary. If you are unable to detect this and work hard to get rid of the status quo, then you will eventually be raised as a pig, and your only value in society in the future will be to become a cut pig.

Leeks are served to the table.

The school had paid the hotel room fees in advance, and there was even a reimbursement limit of 1,000 U.S. dollars per person, which added up to 3,000 U.S. dollars. This amount of money was still very valuable in 1989.

Locke didn't care. He took out the book he had prepared and read it. He came to be a tutor. He originally had the idea of ​​​​making money. He worked for capitalists and was not a good employee if he did not work hard.

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

The close-fitting clothes perfectly set off Mandy's figure, and combined with her pure and sweet appearance, the temptation is even higher.

After all, if he always wins the lottery, it will attract too much attention. Now Locke is just a nobody, and being targeted by those lottery issuers will not lead to any good results.

In addition to the rewards for completing the system's tasks, the school also has a cash reward, a bonus of two thousand US dollars. At the same time, in the remaining five days, you can move around freely and visit local scenic spots or other attractions.

The girl's new outfit in front of him was indeed very attractive. Locke's eyes stayed on Mandy's body for several seconds before he slowly withdrew: "Let's get started. What else do you not understand about the parabola problem I told you last time?

"

"Um?"

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

"You came very early today." After guiding Locke to the desk and placing the books on the table, Mandy said, "I still need to tidy up, so you can read the book for a while first."

A girl who looks innocent and sweet may not really be innocent. At least the Mandy that Locke knows is a very arrogant, selfish and cunning girl.

He chose niche lotteries with modest amounts, and most of the prizes were hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After staying in New York for a few days, a group of people returned to school in high spirits. Locke discovered that, unknowingly, Christmas was already very close.

Because people with high intelligence do not mean they are broad-minded. On the contrary, because geniuses have far higher intelligence than ordinary people and are used to winning, their negative emotions will become more intense when faced with failure or even different opinions.

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

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

This is not a special case. There are many such people in the scientific community. For example, Newton and Edison are recognized as examples of extremely bad character. This is not widely spread in the East, but related matters in Europe and the United States are not a secret.

"Locke!" After a while, Mandy's voice came from behind, and the sight he saw made Locke couldn't help but salute slightly.

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

Of course, the place to buy lottery tickets is not Dallas, but a nearby city, which is equivalent to buying a lottery ticket and changing places.

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

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

"I still feel like there are a lot of things I don't understand." Mandy came and sat down next to Locke, showing a pitiful look and a pure face, which was extremely attractive.

Locke raised his eyebrows. He had gone through many tests and said calmly: "Then let's start from the beginning. You see, the equation of the parabola is like this..."

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

"What are you doing!" The girl's actions surprised Locke. It turned out that Mandy was only in the seduction stage, but she didn't expect that this time she would be so direct.
