Chapter 4 Wins More
Compared with sports competitions, private high schools in the United States pay more attention to learning competitions, and Locke's Olympiad group has its own activity classroom.
Locke joined the math Olympiad team two years ago when he was just in high school, and it wasn't until last year that he became the captain and led the rest of the team to compete.
It's just that he lacked a little bit of luck and lost by one point to get the runner-up.
This is already the best result in the school in the past ten years, so Locke's treatment at the school has been improved by the headmaster who provides him with a single dormitory with a bathroom in order to make him more focused on his studies.
When I came to the activity classroom, I saw that the math teacher in charge of tutoring was chatting with Peggy for a few words, and then quietly found a seat and sat down.
When it was time for the event, the members had arrived, and the tutor said, "After a summer vacation, it seems that everyone's mental state is very good, I will first introduce you to a very outstanding genius, Peggy!" ”
The teacher called Peggy to the front of the podium and said to her, "Now you can introduce yourself." ”
"My name is Peggy Swanson, I'm nine years old, and I'm excited to be here and delve into the mysteries of mathematics with all of you."
Peggy behaved in a proper manner, but when she saw this nine-year-old girl, everyone couldn't help but whisper, because she was too young.
The people here are all top performers in private high schools, and they are no strangers to skipping grades, but when they came to high school at the age of nine, there are still some things beyond their cognition.
The teacher quickly stopped the discussion and took out the prepared test papers, saying that the pleasant summer vacation had passed, and the next thing should be a test to make everyone happy.
This is not surprising, all kinds of surprise exams are common in private schools, everyone said that they are very calm, Locke is happy to accept the new exam task, the reward of 20 potential points is not much, but it is not to be missed.
The teacher handed out the test papers, and all 23 people in the classroom began to write hard.
……
"Done!"
"Done!"
Around the same time, Locke and Peggy were the first to complete the paper.
The others were not surprised by Locke's performance, but they didn't expect that Peggy, a little girl, could be so much faster than them, which made them speed up their answers.
At the end of the exam, the teacher put the test paper away, and was about to talk about the arrangements for the next period of time, when he saw Peggy's raised hand.
"Peggy, is there anything you can do?"
"It's my first time at the school and I want to see the math level of the Olympiad group......"
Sure enough, Peggy offered to have a math duel with Locke.
When the tutor heard this, he looked at Locke, and when he saw him nodding, he said, "No problem, I think Locke will also be very happy to be able to communicate and study with a genius." ”
……
"It looks like a scorching confrontation." Lip looked at Rock and Peggy, who were sitting at the desk, facing each other, and Lip couldn't help but yawn.
"I couldn't understand what they were saying ten minutes ago?" Nate sighed.
"I was twelve minutes ago." Lip looked at Peggy, who was still talking, and couldn't help but say, "I really don't know where the school got such a freak from." ”
"Maybe the school wants her to win a few more championships so that she can please the donors." Nate shrugged his shoulders, "Let's talk about something else." ”
"Yes, you know what? Locke actually agreed to go to Mandy's house on the weekend! ”
"That Mandy, the day after tomorrow? Oh my God, has Locke finally gotten his rope? Nate looked envious, jealous and hateful: "That's the queen of the day after tomorrow." ”
"I don't know, Locke said Mandy just asked him to help with math and was willing to pay five times his salary."
"Five, my God, if Mandy is willing to date me, I'm willing to pay ten."
"Uh-huh." Lip shrugged his shoulders.
Lip was not surprised that Locke was finally defeated by Mandy's sugar-coated cannonballs, he knew Locke's situation, relying on the multimillionaire's father, Mandy was really not short of money, and a few hundred dollars in make-up fees were completely sprinkled on her.
"But you said that if Locke became Mandy's boyfriend, would we have a chance to go to Mandy's party?"
"That's a good idea, I'm going to tell Locke later, you can't forget us if you have such a great opportunity, after all, we're a team." I don't know what came to mind, and Lip's face put a lewd smile on his face again.
Locke, who was trying his best to match the little girl in front of him, naturally didn't know that at this time, his team members had already begun to think about the dress of the future party.
It was the first time he had played against a super talent, and both men tried their best, and in the end, Rock only won by a very narrow margin.
After the end of "Huh~", Locke let out a sigh of relief, he didn't win easily.
Peggy's father was a dentist, so he was able to buy her all kinds of cutting-edge books at a very young age, and Locke only had the opportunity to access this knowledge in the school library after he was in high school.
In the two years of high school, Locke has put a lot of effort into mathematics, and with the intelligence attributes that he has just improved, this time it is a narrow victory.
"It's a great matchup, Peggy." Locke stood up and held out his hand.
"It seems that the level of the school's Olympiad team is above my expectations." Peggy had some resentment on her face, but quickly relented and shook Locke's hand before leaving.
Then the tutor begins to explain the study schedule for the next period of time, and Locke finds that Peggy has been staring at him until it is over.
"Sure enough, the little girl is in trouble." Locke couldn't help but complain.
"Maybe you won't think like that in 10 years." Lip said shyly, "At that time, they will all become hot girls." ”
Locke didn't want to take care of Lip's daily thoughts: "You have time to think about this, you might as well practice more, this year's Olympiad is just over two months away." ”
"Don't be so upset brother, why don't you tell everyone about Mandy's invitation to date."
"It's not a date, she just wants to ask me to tutor her in math."
"Do you really think so?" Lip said, "That's Mandy. ”
"Of course I know what's going on, but I've said it before, I'm not going to be in a relationship in high school."
Of course, Locke knew what was going on in the hearts of these rabbits in heat, and even Mandy's thoughts were not what he expected.
To be honest, five times the salary is still very fragrant, which makes him change his initial mind when he lacks enough funds to accumulate now.
It is known that the first million is the hardest to earn, and Mandy's offer Locke simply cannot refuse.
Locke is not thinking about the make-up fee now, Peggy is not putting little pressure on him at all, looking at the look in her eyes when she left, Locke knows that the matter is not over yet, and if there is a chance next, she will definitely challenge herself.
Facing the challenge of a super genius, Locke also had to deal with it carefully, in his previous life he was just a little person who did nothing, the experience seemed smooth, but in fact he also encountered a lot of ups and downs, in this life with a plug-in, he wanted to win more.
