America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

Li Qun sensed anger in Dr. Banner's tone, and even Hulk appeared behind Dr. Banner.

"Hey, Hulk, what are you doing out here!" Dr. Banner turned around and complained to Hulk.

"Hulk didn't touch anything in Banner's lab," Hulk said to Banner, displeased.

"Hulk controls his size, and Banner's lab is small, like Barbie's little house."

Chapter 167 Letter of Recommendation

After the last class on Friday afternoon, Li Qun and Peter were called to their tutor, Ms. Warren's office.

"Do you know why I'm here to see you?" Ms. Warren, the counselor, looked at Li Qun and Peter from behind her desk. Her hands were busy organizing documents.

"Is this a matter for our club?" Li Qun asked tentatively.

Ms. Warren frowned, looking at Li Qun and Peter with a puzzled expression.

"Don't you want to go to college?" Ms. Warren asked Li Qun and Peter.

“Of course we want to go to college,” Peter said hastily.

“If I don’t reach out to you, will you forget about applying to college?” Ms. Warren said seriously to Li Qun and Peter.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Valen, we were indeed preoccupied with club matters.”

"Take it."

Ms. Warren stood up, picked up two books from the corner of her desk, and handed them to Li Qun and Peter. Li Qun and Peter glanced at the titles of the books, which were titled "The College Application Guide."

"Thank you, Ms. Warren."

"You need to hurry up and prepare all the materials according to the requirements in the guide. I will help you send out the application materials."

"You'll have to contact your teachers yourselves and ask them to write you letters of recommendation..."

Li Qun and Peter listened nervously in the office as Ms. Warren explained the college application process to them. They didn't come out until more than half an hour later.

"Recommendation letters, Peter," Li Qun said to Peter. "Ms. Warren said that having recommendation letters from professors at the target university would greatly increase the chances of admission."

“Shall we go find Dr. Otto?” Peter said.

“I have someone who can write me a letter of recommendation. You and Gwen need to go to Dr. Otto and ask him to write you a letter of recommendation,” Li Qun said.

“I, I don’t know Dr. Otto’s address.”

“We can talk to Ms. Rosie first, and then to Dr. Otto.”

“What should I do? What should I say when I find Ms. Rosie?” Peter asked Li Qun nervously.

"Prepare some gifts for Ms. Rosie and Dr. Otto, so that they can feel your thoughtfulness."

“I can also have the same person who wrote my recommendation letter write one for you to Dr. Otto,” Li Qun said.

"Use recommendation letters to get recommendation letters? Will that work?" Peter asked hesitantly.

"Let's give it a try," Li Qun said.

"What's wrong with you two? What does she want with her in her office?" Gwen had been waiting for Li Qun and Peter, and she was a little worried about them.

“It’s about applying to university,” Li Qun replied.

"is it?"

"Gwen, she might call you into her office next week for college counseling."

“Peter was a little scared. The college application materials can be mailed between December and February of next year, so it's not too urgent,” Li Qun said.

“Ms. Warren was calling people to her office in pairs, having two people keep each other informed about their college applications,” Peter said.

“Ms. Warren asked us to prepare at least three sets of university application materials and apply to three universities,” Li Qun continued.

"Why haven't we heard anyone talking about college?" Gwen asked, glancing around at the other students on campus, puzzled.

“They might be seeing others as competitors. On the surface, each university has a limited number of places available each year, so if some people get in, it means others won’t,” Li Qun said.

“We also need to keep it a secret,” Peter said.

“Remind Harry when you see him tomorrow,” Li Qun said.

……

On Saturday, the day they had agreed to go to the supermarket to buy club supplies, Li Qun and Peter each drove their cars and picked up their club members one by one from the roadside and put them in their cars.

"College application..."

“I hope my dad hasn’t forgotten; he said he would help me,” Harry said to Peter in the car.

“Choosing which university to attend is easy for Harry, isn’t it?” Gwen said.

"Does it simply mean donating money to those universities?" Harry asked Gwen.

"It's like paying for a spot," Peter said.

“If I go to a bad college, Osborne Industries’ stock will go down,” Harry said.

“Speaking of stocks, Stark Industries’ stock has been soaring recently,” Gwen said.

"Gwen, are you trading stocks?" Harry asked.

“I had a little money on me, so I had my dad buy some Stark Industries stock,” Gwen said.

Peter glanced at the rearview mirror and observed Gwen through it.

“You know what? You can’t keep your money in the bank, and you even made a small profit on Stark Industries stock.” Gwen glanced at Peter’s watchful gaze in the rearview mirror.

"Is it really just a small profit?" Harry was skeptical of Gwen's words.

Upon arriving at the supermarket parking lot, everyone in both cars got out. Li Qun led his group over, while Peter's group continued discussing stocks after getting out.

Upon entering the supermarket, they headed straight for the home appliance section, where Stark appliances still occupied the best display space.

"Why is Stark's refrigerator more than twice as expensive as other brands?" Harry asked.

"Because Stark's products not only have a lifespan several times longer than other brands, but also carry a brand value that is almost like a religious belief."

“People always say that Stark products are the best in the world,” Li Qun said to Harry.

“That’s true, Harry. You’ve probably never seen a washing machine that’s worked for over thirty years and still hasn’t broken down,” Peter said.

“Peter, where did you meet him?” Harry asked.

“At Frank Sullivan’s house, he’s a retired hero firefighter,” Peter replied.

“Most of the things in his house are over thirty years old,” Li Qun said.

“These are all older Stark Industries products. Back then, the head of Stark Industries was Howard Stark,” Gwen said.

"Are we still going to choose those ridiculously expensive Stark refrigerators?" Little Black Red asked the club president, Harry Osborn.

“Of course,” Harry said.

"Wait a minute, let me calculate how much electricity this refrigerator will consume each month." Li Qun stared at the parameters of Stark's refrigerator and started calculating.

“If the monthly electricity bill is too expensive, the younger members of the club will sell the refrigerator to ease the financial burden on the club,” Li Qun explained to Harry.

“We can always take the refrigerator with us when we graduate,” Harry said.

"Why do we need a refrigerator?" Gwen asked, puzzled.

“Because the other clubs don’t have refrigerators,” Harry said.

"Isn't it so that I can have a chilled drink after I've finished practicing kung fu?" said Little Black Red.

Chapter 168 Anti-counterfeiting Design

I don't know when it started, but the business status of my father's pawn shop has become unpredictable. Unless you come to the shop in person, you have no idea if it's open that day.

Liqun parked the Mazda in front of the pawn shop.

Since the store is not open for business, there is no need to worry about parking in front of the store affecting business.

"Liu Liqun, where have you been today? I've been waiting all afternoon."

Li Qun turned around and saw Goro Miyagi leaning against his motorcycle.

"Did you need something from me?"

"Do you want to participate in this year's street fighting tournament?" Goro Miyagi asked Li Qun.

"I'm not participating, so you came to Chinatown to find me about this?" Li Qun asked.

"The competition is too boring if you don't participate." Goro Miyagi walked over to Liqun.

“I have a friend who will be participating in this competition. If you sign up, he will give you a big surprise,” Li Qun said.

"Your friend? Your fellow disciple?" Miyagi Goro asked.

“He’s not my fellow disciple, but I taught him some kung fu.”

"That's your apprentice."

"That's not entirely true. He has exceptional talent, and teaching him kung fu is just icing on the cake," Li Qun said.

"very good."

"What's so good about it?" Li Qun asked, looking at Miyagi Goro, who then smiled at Li Qun.

“I’ll beat your friend, and after the match, you’ll want to fight me again,” Goro Miyagi said.

“I’ve been very busy lately; I’m busy applying to universities,” Li Qun said earnestly.

"Can you afford university tuition? I gave up going to school because I couldn't afford it," Goro Miyagi said to Riku.

“I have excellent grades, so I can try to apply for a scholarship. Even if I don’t get one, it’s okay, I can still afford the tuition and don’t need student loans,” Li Qun said.

"Goodbye."

Goro Miyagi put on his helmet, got on his motorcycle, and rode away.

Li Qun sensed that Miyagi Goro was angry with him.

Li Qun used the key to open the door, opened a portal in the second-floor living room to the New York Sanctum Sanctum, and then traveled from the Sanctum Sanctum to Kamar-Taj. Sure enough, his father was also in Kamar-Taj.

"Dad, do you know what time it is now?"
