Chapter 24 Where's the Godfather?
"Hahaha..." Coming outside the room, Peggy still had a smile on her face: "It seems that your suggestion is good. After making Sheldon feel embarrassed, it is really interesting to see his angry reaction."

In fact, Locke couldn't judge which of Sheldon and Peggy had the higher IQ, and the system didn't have the function of checking other people's attributes.

Peggy was able to win because she had been secretly disturbing Sheldon's emotions when playing chess. After all, playing chess tests both intelligence and psychology.

Peggy has always been leading Sheldon to talk, and at the same time, she is secretly eating Sheldon's chess pieces. Little Sheldon's mentality is not good enough, so it is not surprising to lose to Peggy.

When he came outside the yard, Locke saw Erica and George Mihi Jr. throwing stones at an abandoned TV.

Peggy rolled her eyes speechlessly, but Locke said, "The aim is good."

"Thank you." Little George, who just hit the shot, replied, "Why did you come out?"

"Sheldon is probably still autistic." Locke shrugged.

"Autistic?!" Mihi and Little George immediately became interested.

"He lost a game of chess to me and is sulking in the room," Peggy said with a laugh.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Hearing this, Mixi couldn't hold back any longer, and ran directly to the house.

Growing up with little Sheldon, and facing little Sheldon's contemptuous expression from time to time, Mixi can't wait to see him deflated.

"Wait for me!" Little George did the same, only a step slower than Mixi, but his movements were also fast.

Both of them ran back to the house. Locke glanced at Erica who seemed to have some expectations, and quickly changed the subject: "I don't know how Linda and the others are talking."

"Let's go and listen." Peggy glanced at her sister and Locke, and finally chose to cooperate with Locke.

The two chatted while walking back: "Speaking of Peggy, how many college preparatory courses did you choose?"

"I have already passed seven courses, and I plan to choose a few more, so that I can graduate sooner when I get to university." Peggy said:
"It seems that you have already completed eight subjects. You said before that you are going to choose mathematics, and you have completed the relevant preparatory subjects. In your situation, you should be able to graduate sooner and enter university earlier."

"I also want to enjoy my high school life more. As for going to university in the future, I want to complete more preparatory subjects. When I go to university, I don't plan to only apply for mathematics, such as physics, chemistry and even biology. Study it."

High schools in the United States have college preparatory courses. As long as you can pass this part of the preparatory subjects, you can use these subjects directly when you go to university in the future.

Generally speaking, ordinary public high schools can provide single-digit preparatory courses, while private high schools can basically provide twenty or thirty courses.

Of course, the main reason is to finish high school step by step according to the normal situation, so as to get more tasks and potential points. In my memory, both Sheldon and Peggy will graduate from high school next year.

The two of them can obviously trigger more missions. Locke can indeed go to college this year, but he still decides to do missions for another year.

The only pity is that Sheldon and he are not in the same school, which limits the contact time between the two parties and reduces the possibility of triggering the task.

"You have a wide range of interests." Peggy didn't know Locke's inner plan: "It seems that you plan to do more Ph. D. studies?"

"I have this plan, mainly because I want to learn more about these subjects." Locke opened the door and came to the living room: "By the way, Peggy, what university are you going to go to?"

"It hasn't been decided yet." Peggy thought for a while and said, "I have received invitations from more than ten universities including Harvard, Yale, Caltech, Princeton, and Columbia."

In the United States, education is a huge business, and college education is even more so.

For example, Leonard worked as an experimental physicist at Caltech after graduating from work, which is considered a very decent job, and his income can be considered good among the middle class.

But after working for more than ten years and still paying off the loan, you can imagine how profitable the top universities are.

The United States will rank universities every period of time, and universities rely on improving their qualifications and rankings to attract students to enroll.

Talented students like Peggy can better collect donations from donors, and can also improve the quality of the school. They are the favorites of all schools.

When the school's reputation is big, it can charge high tuition fees to obtain high profits, and it also makes many college sweethearts frequently stage where their godfather is.

Alice Tang Wei, whom Locke met not long ago, fell so quickly. In addition to Locke's own super charm, handsome and attractive enough, one of the reasons is the pressure brought by college tuition.

In the American TV series How I Met Your Mother, Barney’s favorite thing to do is to raise funds for girls who can’t even afford clothes in clubs. He sponsors many college students.

To sum up, a gifted student like Peggy who can bring huge benefits to the school will naturally rush to get it. At this time, various scholarships and grants will rain like raindrops.

Even Locke has received invitations from some universities. He is not a young genius like Sheldon, so the reputation of the school and the conditions attached to the invitation are slightly worse.

"What?" Little Sheldon, who also came to the living room at some point, heard the conversation and couldn't help but ask, "Have you received the invitation now?"

"That's right." Peggy said with a smile: "University is a two-way choice. For a genius like us, any top university will rush to invite you. Haven't you received the invitation yet?"

"No." Little Sheldon's expression changed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He was so aggrieved that he was so wronged that he had suffered successive blows this day.

He had just been frustrated by Peggy, and now the university's advance invitation is equivalent to the official determination that Peggy is smarter than Sheldon, which made him unable to accept it.

"Don't worry." Thinking of the trouble that Little Sheldon might cause if he cried, Locke hurriedly said: "Maybe those top universities have also sent you invitations, but you don't know it yet."

He likes to watch Sheldon suck, but Sheldon is troublesome when he cries, and it's not easy to coax him, especially when he's still a child.

"Really?" Little Sheldon suddenly had expectations at this moment, and looked at Locke.

"Of course." Locke glanced at Mary, guessing that it was Sheldon's mother, Mary, who was reluctant to let her young son go to college at this age, so she deliberately concealed it.

Noticing that Locke looked at his mother, Little Sheldon also looked at Mary.

"Well!" Seeing the look in her little baby's eyes, Mary also felt a little embarrassed, but she, who loved her baby son, saw Little Sheldon's aggrieved look, hesitated and said:

"It is true that some schools have sent invitations, I will show you later."
