American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Thus, in the second round of the clash between the two super prodigies, Peggy still holds the upper hand.

Seeing that Sheldon was about to leave, Peggy immediately asked, "How old are you?"

“I’m almost ten years old,” Sheldon stopped and answered.

“Me too.” Peggy smiled and continued, “When is your birthday?”

“February 26th,” Sheldon Jr. replied truthfully.

“I’m March 17th,” Peggy said with a smug grin that Sheldon seemed to dread. “It’s unbelievable that I’m the youngest student in this class!”

Peggy, having perfectly hit Sheldon's sore spot, also emerged victorious in their third confrontation.

Having gained nothing, Sher was now in a terrible mood. He glared at Peggy, who was laughing, with a death stare, then sullenly went to sit down on Mike's other side.

In just a few minutes, the two super geniuses, who had clashed three times, used every trick in the book to win.

Meanwhile, Mike, who had just witnessed the spectacle, was practically bursting with joy.

[Intelligence Attribute +3], [Intelligence Attribute +2]... [Intelligence Attribute +1], [Intelligence Attribute +1]...

As the orbs of light merged into his body, Mike's intelligence attribute directly surpassed the 170 mark.

It has to be said that Peggy and Sheldon Jr. truly deserve to be called super little geniuses.

Chapter 150 Jealousy

Seeing that Mike and Sheldon were teammates, Peggy turned around and greeted them, "Hello, my name is Peggy."

"Hello, I'm Mike." Mike was still in a good mood after just receiving so many intelligence attributes at once.

Moreover, according to Mike, Peggy's exceptionally high emotional intelligence makes her more "sensible" and "lonely" than Sheldon Jr.

In this situation, it's not difficult to become friends with her.

So from the perspective of taking advantage of loopholes, Peggy might be a better fit than Sheldon Jr.

“I know you, Mike,” Peggy said. “I’ve watched your football games on TV, and you’re amazing.”

"Thank you~" Mike then complimented, "Your hair clip is also very pretty."

Peggy was wearing a rather old-fashioned red dress, and the hair clip she was wearing was also a bit outdated.

However, because the little girl is cute enough, her strange outfit actually looks pretty good.

"Thank you, you're much more polite than your friend." Peggy smiled immediately upon hearing the compliment.

It's clear that her smile this time is much more genuine than before.

Meanwhile, Sheldon watched as Mike and Peggy chatted more and more happily, and to express his dissatisfaction, he slammed the documents he had brought onto the table.

Seeing Sheldon's childish behavior, Mike shook his head speechlessly.

In his view, Sheldon Jr. is outmatched by Peggy in both IQ and EQ, and it will be difficult for him to turn the tables.

Just as Sheldon was sulking, Professor John walked into the classroom with a smile.

He went straight up to Sheldon and said, "Hey, Sheldon. Have you met Peggy over there?"

Still angry, Sheldon said in a slightly questioning tone, "Why didn't you say that there would be new auditors in this class?"

"It seems you two already know each other." Professor John smiled nonchalantly and continued, "I thought this would be a pleasant surprise for you."

Yes, Professor John thought that two child prodigies around ten years old would be happy to become friends.

However, a disheartened Sheldon thought differently, retorting, "No, I don't like surprises like that."

“Okay, I don’t like it either~” Professor John, who was a bit eccentric, actually understood Sheldon’s thoughts at this moment.

"Then why did you do that?" Sheldon pressed.

“Perhaps, some people like this kind of surprise…” Professor John looked at the little girl with a bright smile not far away.

“Yes, I really like this surprise.” Peggy said, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the handsome Mike beside her.

Then, seeing that Professor John had turned his gaze to him, Mike smiled and said that he was happy to see Peggy there.

After all, only those three had special identities in this class.

"It seems my decision was correct; the success rate is 66%." Professor John raised his arms, giving himself a small celebration for his right decision.

After that, he received a disdainful look from Sheldon Jr.

"Alright, let's begin the lesson." Professor John awkwardly lowered his arm and walked towards the podium.

While Professor John was lecturing, Peggy quietly picked up her notebook, leaned to the side, and asked Mike about other physics topics.

Of course, the difficulty of the questions she asked this time was several levels lower than when she asked Sheldon before.

As the questions the two discussed became increasingly difficult, and Mike was still able to answer fluently, a satisfied expression unconsciously appeared on the little girl's face.

Clearly, Peggy, a child prodigy, also has her own pride. Her actions were more of a test of Mike's intelligence.

Judging from the results, Mike basically passed her IQ test.

It's important to understand that if two people with vastly different IQs are forced to be friends, it will make both of them feel very exhausted.

This situation probably explains why young Sheldon didn't have many friends at school.

Birds of a feather flock together; this theory also applies to geniuses.

Peggy was happy in class, but Sheldon became even more depressed after noticing the little commotion between the two people next to him.

He felt as if his friend had been stolen away. And this feeling lasted until the end of get out of class.

It wasn't until the bell rang that Sheldon realized he had wasted a precious afternoon of study time because he was so angry.

This discovery made him feel even worse.

……

"See you next Friday, Mike!" Peggy smiled and said goodbye to Mike at the University of Texas gate. Then, she walked briskly towards her mother who had come to pick her up.

Halfway there, she turned around with a mischievous smile, waved to Sheldon next to Mike, and said, "Sheldon, I hope you'll understand what 'quantum chromodynamics' is by the time we meet again."

"Quantum physics is nothing special. I'll catch up soon enough..." After making this boastful remark, young Sheldon got into Grandma Connie's car.

He's almost allergic to Peggy's smile now.

On the other side, Mike waved to Peggy again before getting into Connie's grandma's car.

In the car, after watching Peggy walk away, Grandma Connie smiled and said, "She looks very cute. Is she your new friend?"

"Yes or no……"

Mike and Sheldon answered at the same time.

"Haha, this little girl seems quite interesting." Grandma Connie laughed happily.

In any case, she was already very happy that her little grandson could meet more people his own age.

Moreover, Grandma Connie had also heard Professor John mention that the new auditing student was a very bright child prodigy.

"She's not my friend," Little Sheldon reiterated his stance after seeing Grandma Connie's smiling face.

"Okay, okay, Grandma understands." Connie's grandma comforted her grandson in a coaxing tone before driving home.

After traveling more than halfway, Connie's grandmother noticed in the rearview mirror that her little grandson still looked unhappy.

"What's wrong, Little Biscuit? Is something bothering you?" Grandma Connie asked.

“It’s nothing. I’m just going through some emotions that I’m not familiar with,” said Sheldon, glancing intentionally at Mike sitting next to him.

His eyes revealed a hint of resentment, as if he were accusing Mike of "betraying" him.

Seeing this, Grandma Connie realized something must have happened in the college class today. So she asked, "Mike, do you know what happened to Shirley?"

"Perhaps it was the discovery that there was another person his age who was smarter than him that made Sheldon jealous," Mike analyzed.

“No, I’m not jealous. She’s not any smarter than me either,” Sheldon Jr. immediately retorted, then explained, “She just knows a little more than me, like you, Mike. Although you have a broad knowledge base, I’m sure you’re not as smart as me.”

Well, Sheldon, in a bad mood, is now incredibly aggressive. Mike is in danger of getting caught in the crossfire.

Chapter 151 Being a Guest

“Heh…” Mike didn’t hold back with Sheldon. After a laugh, he said definitively, “You’re just jealous.”

However, Sheldon, who firmly believed he was inferior to Peggy, immediately retorted, "Then give me a reason why I should be jealous."

“Okay, first: you value Professor John a lot, but he seems to care a lot about Peggy…” Mike gave an example.

Sheldon Jr. wanted to refute this, but it was the truth, and he wouldn't make excuses against his conscience.

Moreover, Mike hasn't made this clear yet; he's forgotten himself.

Sheldon, who already considered Mike a friend, felt uncomfortable seeing Mike laughing and joking with Peggy.

Meanwhile, Mike continued, "Secondly: you've always been used to thinking you're the smartest one, but now Peggy's here. She's younger than you, and it seems she's no less intelligent than you..."

Mike was being quite lenient with Sheldon; if he really had to say it, Peggy would obviously be the smarter one.

"Third: Controlling emotions..."

Seeing that Mike was about to continue, Sheldon couldn't sit still any longer and quickly stopped him, saying, "Thank you, I already said it was a reason."

In terms of emotional control and interpersonal skills, Sheldon Jr., with his low emotional intelligence, is indeed far inferior to Peggy.

Seeing that Sheldon was on the verge of a breakdown, Mike wisely stopped talking.

At this moment, Connie's grandmother, who was driving in front, said with a smile, "That little girl named Peggy sounds really good. Shelly, I think you should become friends with her."

……

However, Connie's grandmother underestimated the extent of her grandson's anger. Even after they got home, she found him still looking sullen.

This was something Connie's grandmother had never seen before, so she called Professor John.

“John, I think you need to give Shelley more attention. He seems to be jealous of that little girl named Peggy…” Grandma Connie said bluntly.

From a personal perspective, Connie's grandmother would prefer that Professor John take better care of her little grandson.

After listening to Grandma Connie's request, Professor John pondered for a moment, then offered his suggestion: "How about this, we create another 'surprise' for Sheldon. Maybe he and Peggy can become good friends..."

Professor John explained his plan: he decided to have Peggy and her family visit Sheldon and the Cooper family the next day.

After all, two families with equally gifted children should have a lot in common.

Moreover, Professor John believes that if Peggy and Sheldon, these two little geniuses, could get to know each other better, they could very well become good friends.

Meanwhile, after hearing Professor John's suggestion, Connie's grandmother also thought it was a good idea.

So she told Mary the news.

Mary, on the other hand, was very excited to hear that she could talk to other families with child prodigies.

After all, only she knows how tiring it is to take care of a child prodigy like Sheldon.

Mary then began planning the preparations for hosting Peggy and her family the next day.

On the other hand, when Sheldon heard that Peggy would be coming to his house the next day, he was very resistant.

Only after Mary's persuasion did he reluctantly agree to contact Peggy again.

……

The next morning, Mary canceled her work at the church and brought her family to the door to wait for Peggy's family to arrive.

Not long after, a black mid-to-high-end sedan pulled up in front of Cooper's house.

Four people got out of the car in that order: Peggy's dad Barry, her mom Linda, her sister Erica, and then Peggy herself.

Today, Peggy is wearing a shirt with a cute little flower pattern, paired with denim overalls.

This makes her look both cute and "cool".

At the Coopers’ doorstep, George and his wife warmly welcomed Barry and Linda.

Meanwhile, Peggy saw a reluctant-looking young Sheldon. So, she deliberately jumped in front of him.

After startling the other person, Peggy smiled and asked, "Where's Mike? I heard he lives with you."

“No, Mike lives across the street, at my grandma’s house,” Sheldon explained patiently, suppressing his anger. Then he added, “He’s probably still sleeping in.”

On typical weekend mornings, the Cooper family and Grandma Connie go to church for worship, while Mike sleeps in late before starting his own private activities.
