Start an adventure from an American TV series

Chapter 24 Where is the godfather?

"Hahaha..." Outside the room, Peggy still had a smile on her face: "It seems your suggestion is good. After making Sheldon feel defeated, it is indeed very interesting to see his angry reaction."

In fact, Locke cannot tell who has a higher IQ between Little Sheldon and Peggy, and the system does not have the function of checking other people's attributes.

Peggy was able to win because she had been secretly disrupting Sheldon's mood while playing chess. After all, chess tests both intelligence and psychology.

Peggy has always been leading Sheldon to talk, but at the same time, she is secretly eating Sheldon's chess pieces. Little Sheldon's psychology is not up to par, so it is not surprising that he loses to Peggy.

When he came outside the yard, Locke saw Erica and little George Michie throwing stones at an abandoned TV.

Peggy rolled her eyes speechlessly, but Locke said: "That's pretty accurate."

"Thank you." Little George, who had just made the shot, replied: "Why did you come out?"

"Sheldon is probably still autistic." Locke shrugged.

"Autism?!" Mi Xi and Little George immediately became interested.

"He lost to me at chess and was sulking in the room." Peggy said with a smile.

In the American TV series How I Met Your Mother, the prodigal son Barney's favorite thing to do is to raise money for girls who can't even afford clothes at the club. He sponsors many college students.

He likes to see Sheldon shivering, but it's troublesome when Sheldon cries. It's not easy to coax him, especially since he's still a child.

"Let's go and listen." Peggy glanced at her sister and Locke, and finally chose to cooperate with Locke.

In the United States, education is a huge business, especially university education.

For example, Leonard worked as an experimental physicist at the California Institute of Technology after graduation. It was a very respectable job, and his income was considered good for the middle class.

Even Locke has received invitations from some universities. He is not a genius like Little Sheldon, so the reputation of the schools and the conditions attached to the invitations are slightly worse.

"No." Little Sheldon's face changed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He was so aggrieved that he almost cried after receiving successive blows this day.

Generally speaking, ordinary public high schools can offer single-digit preparatory courses, while private high schools can basically offer twenty or thirty courses.

"That's right." Peggy smiled: "College is a two-way choice. For geniuses like us, any top university will rush to invite you. Haven't you received an invitation yet?"

"Wait for me!" Little George did the same, just a little slower than Mi Xi, but he also moved very quickly.

"Really?" Little Sheldon suddenly had expectations at this time and looked at Locke.

The United States will rank universities every period of time, and universities rely on improving their qualifications and rankings to attract students to enroll.

"I also want to enjoy high school life more. As for going to college in the future, I want to complete more preparatory subjects. When I go to college, I don't plan to just take mathematics as a subject, but also prepare for physics, chemistry and even biology.

Study it."

Of course, the main reason is that by completing high school step by step under normal circumstances, you can obtain more tasks and potential points. In my memory, Sheldon and Peggy will graduate from high school next year.

"You have quite a wide range of interests." Peggy didn't know Locke's inner plan: "It seems that you plan to study for a few more Ph.D.s?"

"I have already passed seven subjects, and I am going to choose a few more so that I can graduate faster when I go to college." Peggy said:

"It seems that you have already completed eight subjects. You said before that you were planning to choose mathematics. You have completed all the relevant preparatory courses. In your case, you should be able to graduate quickly and enter university early."

"I have this plan, mainly because I want to learn more about these subjects." Locke opened the door and came to the living room: "By the way, Peggy, what university are you going to go to?"

The two of them can obviously trigger more tasks. Locke can indeed go to college this year, but he still decided to complete the tasks for one more year.

"It hasn't been decided yet." Peggy thought for a moment and said, "I have received invitations from more than a dozen universities including Harvard, Yale, Caltech, Princeton, and Columbia."

As the school's reputation grows, it can charge high tuition fees to obtain high profits, which also allows many college sweethearts to frequently act like their sugar daddies.

Having grown up with Little Sheldon, and having to face Little Sheldon's disdainful expressions from time to time, Mixie couldn't wait to see his deflated look.

But after working for more than ten years and still paying off loans, you can imagine how profitable top universities are.

The two people chatted while walking back: "Speaking of Peggy, how many subjects did you choose for your college preparatory courses?"

The only pity is that Sheldon and he are not in the same school, which limits the contact time between the two parties and reduces the possibility of triggering the mission.

They both ran back to the house. Locke glanced at Erica, who seemed to be looking forward to it, and quickly changed the subject: "I wonder how Linda and the others were talking."

"What?" I don't know when, little Sheldon, who also came to the living room, heard this conversation and couldn't help but ask: "Have you received the invitation now?"

High schools in the United States have college preparatory courses. As long as you can pass this part of the preparatory courses, your scores in these subjects can be used directly when you go to college in the future.

Alice Tang Wei, whom Locke met not long ago, fell into love so quickly. In addition to Locke's own high charm and being handsome and attractive, the pressure brought by college tuition is also one of the reasons.

Talented students like Peggy can better collect donations from donors and improve the quality of the school. They are the favorites of all schools.

"Sorry, I have to excuse you for a moment." After hearing this, Mi Xi couldn't hold it in any longer and ran straight home.

"Don't worry." Thinking of the trouble that little Sheldon may cause if he cries, Locke said quickly: "Maybe those top universities have also sent you invitations, but you don't know it yet."

He had just failed at Peggy's place, and now the university's advance invitation was equivalent to the official recognition that Peggy was smarter than Sheldon, which he couldn't accept because of his arrogance.

To sum up, a talented student like Peggy who can bring huge benefits to the school will naturally rush to get it. At this time, various scholarships and grants will rain down.

"Of course." Locke glanced at Mary and guessed that this was Sheldon's mother, Mary, who was reluctant to let her young son go to college at this age, so she deliberately hid it.

Noticing Locke looking at his mother, little Sheldon also looked at Mary.

"Well!" Seeing the look in her little baby's eyes, Mary was a little embarrassed, but she felt sorry for her baby son, and when she saw little Sheldon's aggrieved look, she hesitated and said:

"It is true that some schools have sent invitations. I will show them to you later."
