Chapter 33 'Popular Science' Magic
At noon the next day, Tang Wei, whose face was ruddy and shiny, lay on the bed, watching Locke sort out his clothes and luggage, and couldn't help but reveal complicated emotions.
Although the relationship between two people is just a transaction from the beginning, human nature is complex, and the mind can change at any time.
During this period of time, the two of them got along harmoniously, coupled with the lack of love by her father, which made her can't help but look forward to it.
It's just that Locke's attitude is very clear, and at the same time, she also said that she can choose freely, so that she is sure once again that the man in front of her is a scumbag, and he is also a scumbag who has a clear attitude from the beginning.
"Although the affection is good, you must not be greedy for the cup!"
At this moment, she could only warn herself like this, but she had no intention of leaving, after all, she also needed Locke to help pay for college tuition and living expenses, so that she could devote more energy to her studies.
In the end, Rock got on the plane under Tang Wei's farewell and embarked on the journey back to Dallas.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard of Cooper's house, Peggy and Mishi sit facing each other on two stacked blankets, surrounded by a circle of dolls of all kinds.
The warm sun shone on the two people, and the two sat among the bears, dinosaurs and various dolls, holding the teacups in their hands, and having a girl's tea party.
"Speaking of tea, do you know how it was discovered?" Peggy picked up the teapot and refilled herself with a cup of tea.
"I don't know, there's so much I don't know, you make people feel like Sheldon at this time." Mihi shrugged nonchalantly.
Peggy didn't care about Mihi's statement, and said with a smile: "Legend has it that the ancient Chinese Shennong clan once tasted hundreds of wild plants to find out what they did, and tea was the one he once tried.
However, there is also a theory that when he was boiling water in the garden, a leaf of the tea tree happened to fall into the pot, which made him discover the effect of tea. ”
"The tea actually came from the tree!" Mihi tilted her head and looked at the tea in her hand with a surprised expression.
"Or where do you think you came from?" Peggy glanced at Mihi angrily.
"From the supermarket." Mihi looked right.
"......" Peggy smiled politely, and by this time, she also felt that she and Mihi couldn't talk to each other.
The IQ gap is not just a numerical description, it represents a huge generation gap, and although Peggy is still a child at this time, many times, it is difficult to play with children of the same age.
Sheldon Jr. had more to talk about with her, but he was more hostile to Peggy, so it was difficult for the two of them to talk together, and he was more comfortable with Locke in comparison.
Thinking of this, Peggy couldn't help but miss Locke a little, and she didn't know what he was doing in New York, as far as she knew, Locke was only at last year's Mathematics Olympiad......
Thinking of this, Peggy was suddenly slightly stunned, and several blurry images appeared in her mind, which seemed to be a strange and familiar memory, but when she wanted to think about it carefully, she couldn't remember anything.
"Peggy, Peggy......"
After a while, Peggy came back to her senses, looked at the finger in front of her, and reached out to pat it aside: "I'm fine, I just thought of some things from before." ”
said so, but Peggy's heart was full of doubts, with her IQ, she naturally had a memory like Sheldon's high-definition visual picture, but she couldn't remember what happened at that time.
There must be some special reason for this.
Locke, who had just returned to his room at this time, didn't know about Peggy's changes, and he didn't expect Balthazar's magic to have problems.
In fact, it is no wonder that Balthazar used the magic of temporarily sealing the memory, and this magic will not do any harm to the brain compared to other magic against memory.
However, the effect of the magic will gradually diminish over time, and after two or three years, the effect of the seal will disappear completely.
The average child is usually unable to accurately remember the memories of a particular day two years ago, and these memories will naturally be forgotten in the back of their minds.
But Balthazar didn't know that Peggy was the kind of genius who could recall all his memories just by thinking, even down to the second.
Fortunately, the effect of the magic will last for at least a year or two, and Locke does not have to worry about this problem for the time being, and he has just returned to his dormitory, he sits at his desk and turns his pen.
After almost all these days in New York asking questions about the accumulation of magic cubes, Locke began to think about his side profession again.
What kind of sub-profession is suitable for him now, and it can also bring his fame widely spread and bring great fame.
In terms of fame, scientists are obviously not as good as singers or actors, scientists are awesome, most of them are circulated in the circle, and it is not easy to get out of the circle.
On the other hand, the fame of singers or top actors in the United States can be spread all over the world more easily.
Considering that the main profession is a student, learning science is a great help in learning magic, and these should not be abandoned.
Singers and actors, not to mention the various intrigues in the entertainment industry, it is not so simple to stand out.
Even after becoming famous, you still need to run various event announcements and make friends with various 'big names' to get more 'opportunities' and maintain your exposure, which takes a lot of time.
In this way, it completely contradicts Locke's goal of putting learning first, and he needs the kind that does not consume a lot of energy, and can work part-time and part-time.
Because his most important goal at the moment is to improve his magic level and reach immortality as soon as possible.
After careful consideration, Locke found that there were professions that could gain great fame and not be delayed too much.
That is, to be a writer, a top writer can spread his fame all over the world, and even become world-famous with a single work.
It's like Rowling, who wrote about the little wizard, and became a world-renowned writer directly with Harry Potter, and even many uncles and aunts in the East Country have heard of her.
The threshold for writing is very low, but he pays attention to talent and talent, Locke's talent in his previous life was ordinary, and he could only barely mix a full attendance in the online literary circle, but it doesn't mean that Locke doesn't have this condition now.
Top writers need inspiration and beautiful writing, and now with a super high IQ, writing problems are not a problem as long as they want to.
As for inspiration, Locke may not be able to conceive a story out of thin air like those genius writers, can't he be a copyist, he has read countless online articles in his previous life, and the story is there, just waiting for Locke to turn it into a beautifully written work.
Among them, the one that is suitable for the United States is naturally based on fantasy, and Locke went through some screening and first selected an early online article "Arcane Throne"
Of course, Locke will definitely have to make some changes to the novel's setting to make him more perfect, starting with the arcane in the book, which can be completely replaced with the magical concepts he is learning now.
In other words, Locke, who is a magician, is going to write a fantasy novel, and it is quite interesting to think about popular science magic here.
"Knowledge equals power."
"The so-called gods are nothing but powerful arcanists."
"We will re-examine the world from the perspective of arcane, where science is arcane and arcane is science!"
At the beginning of this introduction, Locke suddenly felt a surge of thoughts, took out the paper from the drawer, and wrote quickly.
The improvement of intelligence can be said to be all-round, just like the protagonist in the movie "Never-ending", after eating the 'smart drug NZT48', he completed tens of thousands of words of work in just one day, and the quality made his editor dumbfounded.
But the protagonist in the movie, even after eating NZT48, his IQ can't be compared with Locke, as long as there is a story idea, writing is really easy for Locke.
About an hour later, Locke glanced at the dense manuscript paper that had been written, and said to himself:
"The speed of this handwriting is not as good as typing, it takes so long to complete more than 1,000 words by handwriting, and if it is typing, it can be easily doubled.
Wait, how did I forget, by this time, the computer has appeared, and it can be printed. ”
Thinking of this, Locke secretly scolded himself for being stupid, he didn't think of this, and left the dormitory immediately and went to the nearest electrical store.
He has his own computer, and he has a network cable, but he doesn't have a printer, and this time he can upgrade his computer configuration by the way.
So Locke directly ordered a bunch of accessories, in addition, there were floppy disks and personal printer manuscript paper and other bits and pieces, which were sent to the dormitory as soon as possible under the power of dollars.
