"Hi ......"

The door opened, and the smile on Penny's face froze on the spot.

Because it was Sheldon who opened the door for her.

This is something that Penny hadn't thought of before, and it also caused her prepared greeting lines to fail to come in handy.

"Please come in!"

Gentleman Sheldon's Asami made a gesture of please.

This flattered Petunia a little.

Is this still the emotionally intelligent Frankenstein who just sneered at her?

To be honest, Penny still prefers Sheldon's previous "unruly" appearance.

After coming to the living room and sitting down, Penny deliberately chose a place to sit away from Sheldon.

Next to it is right next to Rajesh.

The guy immediately lowered his head shyly.

Only then did Penny remember that this guy didn't dare to talk to a woman.

Leonard, who sat next to Sheldon, was the first to speak:

"Penny, you must have just moved to Los Angeles, right?"

Penny nodded as she ate her sandwich.

"That's right, I only came to Los Angeles in June of this year, and I used to share a room with a friend in downtown Los Angeles, but then for some reason, we fell out, and then I saw this apartment on WeHouse."

"Really?"

Howard suddenly interjected:

"Rajesh also listed the apartment he lived in on WeHouse to recruit roommates, but unfortunately no one has contacted him."

Penny puts down the fast food box in her hand and asks if the rent is too high.

Howard shrugged.

"On the contrary, in my opinion, the rent he set is already very low, that is, his requirements are a little special, requiring that the other party must be a woman, who can clean the room, wash clothes and cook."

Penny's eyes widened.

Is this a roommate?

This is clearly recruiting nannies and maids!

Leonard joked on the spot:

"Maybe Rajesh thinks it's India."

Rajesh wanted to refute, but in front of Penny, he couldn't even hold back a word, so he could only stare at Leonard with his eyes, anxious.

Seeing this, Penny brought the topic back to herself.

"Although it's a bit far from downtown Los Angeles, the monthly rent of 600 is just right for me now."

Leonard took advantage of the situation and asked:

"So what do you do now?"

Penny shrugged helplessly.

"My dream was to be an actor, but the reality was that I had to work as a waitress in a restaurant and face some groping from time to time, but that's all over and I've got a great job now."

When the four Leonards heard this, their faces changed color in unison.

This is not quite the same as what they have analyzed before.

The first to sit still was Sheldon.

He preemptively asked:

"You've been accepted into a certain crew?"

Penny replied as she ate:

"Of course not, I was accepted to a cake shop called Bankrupt Sisters, which is very famous on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, and many celebrities are their customers, and they opened their first branch in Los Angeles next year, and I have successfully applied for a waitress there."

The four of Sheldon breathed a sigh of relief.

Just work as a waiter, then it's no problem.

Penny excitedly continued:

"As soon as this store opens, there will definitely be a lot of stars and celebrities to cheer on me, and working as a waitress there can greatly increase the probability that I will be favored by Hollywood media, agents and producers."

The four of Sheldon glanced at each other quickly.

"Penny, did you say that store won't open until next year?"

"Yes."

"Then you must be free in early December, right?"

"What's wrong?"

"We want to ask you for a favor!"

Penny was stunned.

She was a scumbag who barely finished high school, and the four guys opposite her with an average education equivalent to a doctorate actually said that they wanted to ask her for help.

"Do you usually play games? I'm referring to computer games. ”

Leonard asked.

Penny nodded.

Sheldon's eyes lit up together.

Leonard asked expectantly:

"Then you must know Counter-Strike: CS, right?"

Penny looked confused.

What CS, I haven't heard of it!

The Sheldon Four were even more surprised.

You've played computer games and don't know CS?

Penny explained as a matter of course:

"My friend recommended me a platform called Steam, I bought a match-3 mini-game from it, Bejeweled, I think this game has reached more than 4 million sales on Steam, haven't you played it?"

Sheldon and Leonard hadn't really played, but Howard raised his hand in excitement.

"I also bought the game from Steam, and it was a lot of fun to spend time! The most important thing is that it is on sale, and you can buy it for as little as $2. ”

Petunia nodded excitedly.

She also got started with this little game for the same reason, and then she couldn't stop playing.

Just as the two were about to happily start exchanging ideas about the game, Sheldon suddenly coughed.

Howard realized that he had been taken off topic by Penny.

"Penny, yes, me, Sheldon, Leonard, and Rajesh have formed a team of games that are going to New York in early December, and the winner has a $300,000 prize money."

300,000?!

Penny's eyes widened.

Leonard's voice continued.

"We had another team-mate, but last night he had an accident and he injured his hand and couldn't continue to play, so now we have to find another team-mate, someone we know and can trust."

Penny didn't realize that the person in Leonard's mouth was herself, and replied casually:

"Did you find it now?"

"We're going to ask you to be our new teammate."

"Well, congratulations...... What, you're going to look for me? ”

Penny was shocked.

Leonard was embarrassed to say that the four of them had no other friends at Caltech, and had to lie that they didn't want their colleagues to know about their esports participation.

Penny was honest.

"Of course it's okay for me to help, but I haven't played CS before, so I'm definitely going to be held back when I play."

Before Leonard could speak, Sheldon preemptively said:

"It doesn't matter, anyway, our previous teammate is just a few people, as long as his hands are sound and he can operate the mouse and keyboard."

Penny hesitated.

Although she wanted to help, she had already taken a short-term job as a waitress at a nearby restaurant and started work in December.

That's when Howard's voice rang out.

"According to the information we found before, the two founders of the Steam platform are Jamie Dutton and Chuck Bass, as long as you follow the news recently, you must know who they are, and they will be there in person during the finals, I think you definitely don't want to miss this opportunity to get to know the two of them."

Now it was Penny's turn to be shocked.

She excitedly told Howard that she had signed up for the audition for the heroine of "Fifty Shades of Grey", but unfortunately failed.

If that's what Howard said, then she has to participate in this competition.

What's more, the champion also has a prize of 20,000 US dollars, with which Penny can buy a scooter to and from work.

In this way, the two sides happily reached a consensus.

It was fast forward to the beginning of December.

After one day of group stage, the "Xie Er" team successfully reached the top 16 with the first place in the group.

Sheldon was angry after the game, and if it weren't for the lack of substitutes, he would have wanted to kick Penny out.

The reason for the incident was that during the game, Penny was only responsible for "lying flat".

At first, things went according to Sheldon's expectations, and Penny was cooperative.

But after playing a few games, Penny found that this FPS game was quite interesting, so she was no longer willing to be just a tool man who was lying flat, and began to try to prove herself.

As a result, she only proved that she was still addicted to vegetables, and several collective actions almost killed everyone because of her rash advances that did not obey the command.

After the game, Sheldon was very angry.

Penny feels aggrieved.

Thanks to Leonard's mediation, Sheldon and Penny were finally persuaded to reconcile.

After this conflict, Penny's interest in CS was also completely extinguished.

In the round of 16 knockout on the second day, she lay down directly, either rushing out to die as soon as she started, or standing in a daze at the place of birth.

As a result, the "Xie Er" team broke through all the way, winning three games in a row and reaching the finals strongly.

In the afternoon final, the "Xie Er" team met a very strong opponent, and the opponent's five players cooperated tacitly and tactically.

The "Xie Er" team played very hard with four to five.

In the end, the two sides fought to a 1-1 draw.

In the tiebreaker, the scores were tight, and all four of Sheldon wore headphones, their eyes glued to the screen, and they were fully engaged.

Penny is the opposite, at the height of the competition, she is leisurely touching up her makeup with lipstick and mirror.

After all, he has already entered the finals, and even if he loses, he will be the runner-up.

Although the prize money is less than half, she can still go on stage to receive the award, in fact, for Penny, as long as she can meet Jamie Dutton and Chuck Bass, her purpose of coming to New York has been achieved.

As he was wandering, he suddenly heard Leonard shouting:

"Penny, run, all four of us are dead, and there's one person left on the other side, and he's heading towards you."

In a panic, Penny quickly dropped her lipstick and mirror, grabbed the mouse with one hand and pressed the keyboard with the other.

"Where is he?"

Penny yells:

"Behind you! Shoot! ”

In a panic, Penny held down the mouse, and closed her eyes for a burst of chaos.

Fierce gunfire rang out, and soon fell silent.

All four of Sheldon stared at the screen in disbelief.

Penny hears the end of the gunfire and thinks she has been killed by the enemy.

As a result, when she opened her eyes, the police she manipulated were still alive.

It's just that it's already in a state of residual blood!

And then there was the body of a robber lying on the ground not far away!

Penny didn't react for a while, until Howard took off his headphones, jumped on the chair excitedly and shouted:

"We won! We are the champions! ”

Sheldon sat in his seat, his expression as if he had seen his idol Stephen Hawking.

Leonard and Rajesh hugged each other excitedly.

Penny, who was also sitting in front of the computer, woke up from a dream.

So the fierce operation he just made was killing the last enemy?

There is one more chapter in the evening
