Chapter 4 Winning More
Chapter 4 Win more
Compared with sports competitions, private high schools in the United States pay more attention to academic competitions. Locke's Mathematical Olympiad team has its own activity classroom.
Locke joined the Mathematical Olympiad competition team two years ago when he first entered high school. It was not until last year that he became the captain and led other team members to participate in the competition.
It was just that I lacked a little bit of luck and lost by one point, so I got the runner-up spot.
This is already the school's best result in the past ten years. For this reason, Locke's treatment at the school has been upgraded. In order to allow him to focus more on his studies, the principal provided him with a single dormitory with a bathroom.
When I arrived at the mobile classroom, I saw the math teacher in charge of tutoring chatting with Peggy for a few words, and then quietly found a seat to sit down.
When it was time for the activity, all the members arrived, and the tutor said: "The summer vacation has passed, and it seems that everyone is in good spirits. Let me introduce to you a very outstanding genius, Peggy!"
The teacher called Peggy to the front of the podium and said to her: "Now please introduce yourself."
"My name is Peggy Swanson. I am nine years old this year. I am very happy to join here and delve into the mysteries of mathematics with everyone."
Peggy behaved well, but when they saw this nine-year-old girl, everyone couldn't help but whisper because she was so young.
The people here are all top-achieving students in private high schools, and they are no strangers to skipping grades. However, coming to high school at the age of nine, there are still some things that are beyond their understanding.
"But you said that if Locke becomes Mandy's boyfriend, will we have the opportunity to attend Mandy's party?"
"Maybe you won't think so in ten years." Lip said coquettishly, "By then, they will all have become hot girls."
"Sure enough, little girls are troublesome." Locke couldn't help complaining.
"Do you really think that?" Lip said, "That's Mandy."
"Finish!"
After the exam was over, the teacher collected the test papers and was about to talk about the arrangements for the next period of time when he saw Peggy's raised hand.
Lip was not surprised that Locke was finally defeated by Mandy's sugar-coated bullets. He knew Locke's situation. With his multimillionaire father, Mandy was really not short of money. He could pay a few hundred dollars for tutoring.
Fees are nothing to her.
Next, the tutor began to explain the study arrangements for the next period of time, and Locke found that Peggy had been staring at him until everything was over.
Peggy's father was a dentist, so he could buy her all kinds of cutting-edge books when she was very young. Locke only had the opportunity to come into contact with this knowledge in the school library after he entered high school.
"Don't be such a spoiler, brother, why don't you tell everyone about Mandy's invitation to go on a date."
Locke had put a lot of effort into mathematics during his two years in high school, and with his newly improved intelligence attributes, he was able to win by a narrow margin this time.
…
"Peggy, what can I do for you?"
This is not a surprise. All kinds of surprise exams are very common in private schools. Everyone said they were very calm. Locke happily accepted the new exam task. The reward of 20 potential points was not much, but it was not to be missed.
"Of course I know what's going on, but I've said before that I don't plan to fall in love in high school."
"Maybe the school wants her to win a few more championships to please those donors." Nate shrugged: "Let's talk about other things."
Locke didn't want to deal with Lip's daily thoughts: "You have time to think about these things, why not practice more. There are only more than two months until this year's Mathematical Olympiad competition."
"This is my first time coming to school, and I want to see the mathematics level of the Mathematical Olympiad team..."
"Five times, gosh, I'd pay ten times if Mandy would date me."
"Finish!"
Locke, who was fighting the little girl in front of him with all his strength, naturally didn't know that his team members were already thinking about how to dress up for the future party.
"I don't know. Locke said Mandy just asked him to help with math tutoring, and he was also willing to pay five times the salary."
"That's a good idea. I'm going to tell Locke later that if you have such a good opportunity, don't forget about us. After all, we are a team." I don't know what he thought of, but there was a look of obscenity on Lip's face again.
smile.
The teacher quickly stopped everyone's discussion and took out the prepared test papers, saying that the happy summer vacation was over, and a test should be given next to make everyone happy.
"I couldn't understand what they were saying ten minutes ago?" Nate sighed.
This was the first time he faced off against a super genius. Both sides tried their best, but in the end Locke only won with an extremely slim advantage.
"It seems that the level of the school's Mathematical Olympiad team is above my expectations." Peggy had some anger on her face, but she quickly calmed down and shook hands with Locke before leaving.
…
Others were not surprised by Locke's performance, but they did not expect that the little girl Peggy could be so much faster than them, which made them speed up in answering the questions.
Of course Locke knew what these rabbits in heat were thinking, and even Mandy's thoughts were not beyond his expectations.
"I was twelve minutes ago." Lip looked at Peggy who was still talking and couldn't help but said: "I really don't know where the school found such a freak."
After hearing this, the tutor looked at Locke, saw him nodded, and said, "No problem, I think Locke will also be very happy to be able to communicate and study with a genius."
"That's right, did you know? Locke actually agreed to go to Mandy's house on the weekend!"
The teacher handed out the test papers, and all twenty-three people in the classroom started writing furiously.
Almost at the same time, Locke and Peggy were the first to complete the test paper.
Sure enough, Peggy offered to have a mathematical duel with Locke.
"That Mandy the day after tomorrow? Oh my god, has Locke finally figured it out?" Nate looked envious and jealous: "That's the day after tomorrow."
"What a wonderful showdown, Peggy." Locke stood up and extended his hand.
"It looks like an anxious confrontation." Lip looked at Locke and Peggy, who were sitting in front of the desk, facing each other. Lip couldn't help but yawned.
After "Hu~" was over, Locke let out a sigh of relief. It was not easy for him to win.
"Hmm." Lip shrugged.
"It's not a date, she just wants me to tutor her in math."
To be honest, five times the salary was still very good, which made him change his initial thoughts because he lacked enough funds to accumulate.
Everyone knows that the first million is the hardest to earn, and Locke couldn't refuse Mandy's offer.
What Locke is thinking about now is not the tuition fee. The pressure Peggy puts on him is not small at all. Looking at the look in her eyes when she left, Locke knows that the matter is not over yet. If there is a chance, she will definitely challenge him again.
Faced with the challenge of a super genius, Locke had to deal with it carefully. In his previous life, he was just a mediocre person. His experience seemed smooth, but in fact he encountered a lot of ups and downs. In this life, he has a cheat, and he wants to win.
