Chapter 113: The Joy of Shooting Targets (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
"Locke, since you're on vacation after the exam, are you going to go back now?"
MAX's yellow cavity blew itself up, Monica and the others were a little uncomfortable, and they didn't have the heart to joke about Locke, so they quickly changed the topic.
"Let's wait a few days, MAX and I just got to know each other, and we have to have fun together for two days." Locke said.
"Do you need me to send you then?" Phoebe asked.
"Locke, of course, is flying back." Chandler laughed, "Who made him a damn rich man." ”
"Thank you, but you really don't need to drive it, Peggy, Sheldon, Alice and Ashley will also be together, there are more people, it's inconvenient." Locke said, "We'll fly together then." ”
"Okay."
Monica knew about the small circle of Locke, Peggy, and Sheldon, a small circle of top geniuses, and she used to be quite curious.
Later, listening to Alice (Tang Wei) and Ashley's usual chats, she knew that even though she and Locke were also very familiar, it was impossible to become one of them.
In the next few days, Locke took MAX to have a good time near New York, and what he didn't expect the most was that MAX was actually very interested in target shooting.
He knew that MAX liked to play with 'guns', but he didn't expect that she liked real target shooting, so he studied marksmanship with MAX for this purpose.
Ordinary players play with pistols, which are operated by fools and are easy to use, but Locke directly took out a large-caliber rifle.
First of all, I explained the basic knowledge of the gun, such as the model, structure and posture of holding the gun, and some safety guidelines.
It is said that Happy America, when Locke first learned to shoot, he hit the target with the first shot, and it was very stable.
The more powerful the gun, the greater the recoil of the firearm, such as those rifles that are much larger than the average small pistol.
Locke fired his first shot as a rookie, and felt a lot of recoil because of the interaction forces of physics, but the accuracy of the shot was still amazing, and the muzzle was also very stable, and the first shot hit the target.
Now Locke, as a veteran, takes MAX to shoot targets, and his strength, accuracy, and recoil are just right, and his strong physique brings amazing stability and endurance, and every shot hits the bull's-eye.
With the rhythmic cheering sound in his ears, the blood surged, and the feeling was completely up, until MAX didn't even have the strength to cheer up Locke, and he shot out the bullets in the magazine in one go.
It's unexpectedly refreshing.
From fixed targets to moving targets, from short-range shooting to long-distance combat, the degree of cooperation between two people is also constantly improving.
MAX COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, SHE DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS A NEWCOMER ANYMORE, BUT IT WAS NORMAL.
Klocke was a complete master, and if it weren't for her own experience, she wouldn't have believed that anyone could do it to this extent, and in the end she really couldn't play at all.
A few days later, Locke drove to the airport with a few people because it was a special lane.
Out of respect for Franklin, even though Sheldon Jr. spoke hatefully, the airport personnel still didn't choose to give him a standard procedure.
In the face of completely different treatment from before, Sheldon Jr.'s evaluation of this is that the quality of the service staff at this airport is not good, and they are becoming more and more slack.
Sheldon Jr. took out the game console that Beverly had bought, and Peggy took out a notebook.
Seeing Peggy writing and drawing in her notebook, little Sheldon couldn't help but lean over and ask, "What are you doing?" ”
"Learn from someone." Peggy said, glancing at Locke.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Locke knew that Peggy was talking about calculating the lottery when he was in high school.
Yesterday, when we were shopping together in New York, Ashley saw a lottery shop on the side of the road and bought a lottery ticket for several people, saying that if anyone won the lottery, she would be responsible for buying a gift for the others.
Peggy then says that she can win a lottery ticket as long as she does her calculations, and says that Locke had done the same thing in high school before, and that she had stumbled upon the notebook that Locke used to calculate.
Ashley and Tang Wei picked up and said why they didn't want the money they picked up for nothing, so Peggy had something to do during the Christmas holiday.
"Toot!"
Before Sheldon Jr. could continue to ask, the voice of the flight attendant came over the radio.
"Please note that due to the overbooking of two seats, we would like to ask if there are any volunteers who will take the next flight, and we would like to give you an additional ticket to any location as a thank you."
In order to maximize profits, American airlines have become accustomed to overselling tickets to prevent the reduction of load factor caused by refunds and changes.
But if you do this, it will cause the current situation, especially during peak seasons and special holidays, and overcrowding is commonplace.
Of course, airplanes will not allow overcrowding, and at this time, airlines will take similar incentives to invite excess passengers.
But after the broadcast, the passengers in the cabin looked at each other, and no one took the initiative to speak.
There is compensation, but no one wants to do it.
Christmas is a time when airfares are tight, and they don't want to risk missing out on reuniting with their families for a free ticket.
In this case, the airline has another option, which is to randomly select two passengers to get off the plane and take the next flight.
"Oh, random? I don't want to be chosen. Hearing this, little Sheldon couldn't help but say.
"Don't worry, we won't be chosen." Locke said calmly.
"How is it possible, since it is random, the probability that we will be selected also exists." Sheldon Jr. retorted, "It's the simplest math problem. ”
"Because we're in first class." Locke said, "So we can't be in a random sequence. ”
"Are you sure?" Sheldon Jr. retorted, "I don't see such a provision in the airline regulations. ”
"Of course I'm sure." Locke stared at little Sheldon and said, "Because I'm Batman!" ”
What is most impressive about Batman, of course, is that he is rich, and the passengers who can do first class are rich people, and airlines will not choose to offend rich people.
"You're not Batman." Sheldon Jr. exclaimed, "Even Batman can't change the airline's rules." ”
"Batman can." Locke stared into little Sheldon's eyes: "The Wayne Group has airlines under it, he can do this." ”
"Even if Batman could, you couldn't, because you're not the owner of an airline." Sheldon Jr. continued to retort.
"Are you sure?!" Locke stared deeply at little Sheldon.
Seeing Locke's eyes, little Shelton's open mouth paused, he didn't face Locke's eyes this semester, and the final result made him have a stress reaction.
After the classic eye spasms and twitching cheeks, little Sheldon ran to the bathroom.
In this gap, the flight attendant had already chosen a black couple, the nineties was not the era of black lives, and after some arguments, they were quickly invited down.
