During Those Years When I Was A Marvel Superhero Chapter 157: Prom and Summer League (4500 words big
Prom is a very important thing for many American high school students. ? W ≠ W≥W≥. ≥8 ≠ 1 ≠ Z = W≈. ≥C≥O≈M
Because in many cases, graduating from high school means the child is an adult. It doesn't matter if you are going to college to study, or are going to work.
After high school, for most people in this country, it means you can leave the family and start living alone.
Because if you go out to work independently, it goes without saying that after having independent financial income, many young people will choose to rent a house outside and try to start to leave the family and the parents to take care of themselves.
While going to college, it is very likely to live farther away from home. And studying in prestigious schools in the United States has never been a small expense.
Take Peter Parker as an example. The combined annual income of his uncle and aunt is more than 80,000 US dollars, which is regarded as the income of the middle class in the United States.
But after getting rid of the expenses, I want Peter to go to a famous school like New York University or M.I.T. University. Peter also needs the school to provide a full scholarship to meet.
If the school cannot provide a full scholarship, only half of the scholarship. Then Peter had to ask for high student loans.
When he has n’t worked yet, he is likely to have tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
But for Peter Parker now, the more than one hundred thousand dollars spent in college for four years has turned into small money, and his Spider-Man's copyright has brought him nearly a million dollars in income (about equal to Eagle Eye Ten years of income).
And this is still able to get the income in hand after tax. Even if there is a part of it, the expenses for maintaining the base of the night watchman and the charity project will be taken out. But the remaining money is enough for Peter to worry about food and clothing for four years in college.
So he rejected the college reserve of more than 20,000 dollars prepared by Uncle Ben for him.
"I got the full scholarship of New York University and also found a suitable part-time job. I can support myself through the four years of college with my own hands. So uncle, this money can let you and Aunt Mei go Take a trip. For example, go to Europe or Los Angeles to play. "Peter so rejected the cash check from Uncle Ben.
For Peter, he is becoming more independent and mature now. Uncle Ben and Aunt May are still very happy. Young swallows always leave the nest day, and the young birds will eventually fly high.
"Peter! Get in the car!" It was Li Jie who picked up Peter to attend high school Prom. He has always been relatively low-key and has been driving his own second-hand Ford Motors.
Even after the establishment of Marvel Comics, he never changed his car. Because the old car is used to driving, I don't think it is necessary to change it.
But today, as the last Prom in high school, Li Jie made a high profile for the first time. He drove out the suspension car produced by Stark Industries from Pebo.
Metallic red mirror spray paint, and a running appearance that is more explosive than Lamborghini poison, driving on the road is absolutely eye-catching.
The suspension vehicle can reach a maximum of 600 kilometers per hour. At the same time, if the safety height limitation device is removed, it can be suspended at a height of 15 meters. Of course, this is illegal.
It can be said that this car really embodies that sentence: this car is not running too fast, but flying too low.
The model of this car is the most advanced model of Stark Group in the global launch of suspension car. Five hundred globally limited. The model is Slebnier, which is the name of the mythological legend of the eight-footed **** horse.
At present, the car is only a small number of rich things in the world. If it were not for Li Jie to match Stark Group and Osborn Group. With his current income, he may not be able to afford this world top run.
Except that Luo Ji drove out once before and confessed to Thor, Li Jie never drove.
And the last time the classmates meet in high school, it does n’t matter if they are high-key or low-key. How happy I am.
"Cool, you should have taken out this car long ago. Instead of driving your broken Ford." Peter sat in the Sleipnir car and looked at the car's delicate and full of technological interior. To.
"Since you like it so much today, it is not as good as you. I remember you got your driver's license." Li Jie said and left from the driver's seat, instructing Peter and him to change places.
Peter patted Li Jie on the shoulder: "Thank you, man! I've long wanted to try this feeling of running!"
Peter kept busy and exchanged positions with Li Jie, holding the steering wheel in his hand, and Peter felt great.
Li Jie looked at Peter who had been holding the steering wheel but did not move. He urged: "Enough, my class hero. Can I drive now? Will you feel the interior of this car next time?"
"Oh, okay. Actually, no." Peter talked a little bit: "I just can't find the ignition key and clutch of this car."
Li Jie patted his head helplessly, hoping not to have a car accident later.
When Peter drove the suspension sports car to the Prom scene in the school hall with no surprises, this cool suspension sports car became the focus of everyone.
There are almost two hundred students who have participated in Prom in the third grade of high school.
Almost all people passing by who saw this car wanted to take a photo of Weibo or something. Young people's love for running is gender-neutral. This cool thing is just likable.
At the same time, Harry drove him to school by the driver in Bentley. He watched the Sleipnir suspension run from Li Jie and whistle: "Why? I figured it out, don't throw this good car in the garage and get ash?"
Li Jie shrugged: "It doesn't matter anymore, I'm graduating anyway. Is this the last puberty madness?" Peter and Harry smiled silently.
For the other classmates of the current trio, the small communication circle formed by these three people can't be inserted into other people at all. Although whether Li Jie, Harry or Peter, the three are warm and courteous to others.
But for these three people, other classmates and friends are just classmates and friends. It hasn't really risen to the point where [buddy].
The core circle of these three partners does not allow others to easily enter. Especially when three people have achieved considerable achievements before graduating from high school, many people now regret not having a good relationship with the three during high school.
Harry naturally needless to say. As the sole heir of a large global group, this kid has always been the arrogant man of heaven, and even if others work hard for most of his life, he will not reach his current height.
And Peter Parker originally looked like a nerd who was a bit smart, but was a dead book. This kind of person always plays the role of being bullied by the football team, the baseball team, the basketball team, the film society, and the rock club in school (well, this is usually set in Hollywood movies).
But now this seemingly little smart guy has been directly accepted by New York University in advance, and several of his papers on biological research have also been published in professional subject journals. Although it only gave the worst layouts.
However, it is an honor to be able to appear in a professional subject magazine. Because the publication of this subject magazine is specifically for the accumulation of points for scientists. Most people will not necessarily be selected for the postgraduate, postgraduate, or even professors.
A high school student in Peter Parker has an article selected. Does this mean that a new scientist is about to rise? This is a celebration for the school, and even school leaders are planning it.
If Peter Parker can also display several articles of the same quality in college, then the school will award him the honorary alumni title.
Many people who look down on nerds start to feel a little regretful. Why did n’t they have a relationship with such a big man in the future?
About Li Jie, there are more people who have deeper complaints about him. If Harry had an extraordinary background, Peter had a genius mind. So what does Li Jie have?
It looks pretty, but if you do n’t see the woman seeing him, he ’s not going to marry him. The body is strong, but it is not as strong as the metamorphosis in the football team. The grades are between B + and a, and medium to excellent. Smarter than most people, but not smart enough to go against the sky.
And what he has achieved is envied by many students. Driving a fast food truck can become a New York urban food legend, allowing a group of old gluttons to go in line to eat what he cooks.
Opened a comics company, and in the end, just over half a year, it got a superhero's copyright. And now the copyright of Captain Rogers, which has the highest IP value, is also in hand. Entertainment companies including Sony, Disney, Paramount and others have all started to contact this originally small comic company. Discuss the issues of buying copyright-adapted movies, animations, and peripherals.
According to rumors, this guy also has a relationship with Tony Stark. For example, the globally limited he drove now came from a gift from Stark Group.
This makes Li Jie's group of students feel crazy, and one looks just better. But how is it that people who are not so anti-sky go step by step to the present?
Obviously, just after graduating from high school, Li Jie ’s achievements have been beyond the reach of many people in his life.
Of course this group of students does not know the other identity of Li Jie and the plans of him and the Illuminati. Otherwise, I'm afraid I don't know how many people will shout "I'm alive in my life!" And then commit suicide by necking.
Life is about to toss in this life, not to be crazy and not to survive. A life without toss is always incomplete, especially when you have some special abilities. Li Jie believes in this sentence very much, so his life is full of toss.
The system brought him just a starting step, and really let him step by step to the present. He always depends on himself.
Sitting in the Shaka seat in the auditorium, Li Jie and two friends were drinking carbonated drinks (because they have not reached the legal drinking age, so the school party will not provide alcoholic drinks) to discuss some things.
After rejecting the fourth wave of girls who came to invite dancing, all the girls present confirmed that these three guys must be gay! Otherwise, why are they so beautiful that these guys don't dance with themselves? It even said something was born after the dance.
All beautiful girls are full of confidence in their charm, and they can't stand the kind of self-esteem that they are rejected by the opposite sex. So they can only push all the culprits to gay.
The big reason Harry and Peter are not entangled with other girls is because they have girlfriends. Harry knew exactly what kind of thoughts came from the girls who threw him at him. He was not Tony Stark, who was swaying when he was young.
Although he is as young and handsome as Tony when he was young. But Harry was more stable than Tony came back. He was in no mood to miss the bush like Tony, especially after he had Mary Jane.
And Peter is afraid that Gwen suddenly asked about the Prom one day, and he ca n’t make good lies. You know, Gwen's brain is too smart.
As for Li Jie, he did n’t look at other girls. Besides chatting with two friends, he had been paying attention to another girl at 9 o'clock. This girl was called Roland. They are students of the same grade but different classes.
The coincidence is that this girl was the one Captain Rogers asked him to secretly help protect. As long as there is a problem with the movement of the captain's side, the night watchman's side will shoot someone to move to protect her.
"Hey, hey! I know you ’re on a mission, but this is Prom dude. Can you keep staring at that girl? There are three of us here, you do n’t need to be so serious." Peter in Li Jie ’s Waving his hand in front of his eyes.
"Do n’t forget, you still have a beauty mage in your house! This made me dare not go to your house to play games during this time." Peter complained.
Harry smiled: "Relax guys, this is Prom. The two of us don't go to dance, but don't you find a beautiful girl to dance? Maybe you can have something later. Look at those hot The girl looks at you, and Tiffany of the basketball cheerleader is looking at you, waiting for you to ask her to dance. If you take the initiative, I think I should be able to give birth to something. "
Harry instructed Li Jie not badly. Li Jie took a sip of Coke in his cup and said, "Hah, didn't you hear what Peter just said? There is a beauty mage living in my house!"
Li Jie shook his head and smiled: "I just looked at Roland just because she gave me a special feeling, and I ca n’t tell why. I just feel that Roland has been drinking quietly over there. Somewhat strange. Every time I see her eyes, I always feel that she can see through the same thing. I feel this way when I protect her several times in the dark. "
"You think too much man. My spidey senses has never sounded to her. You just look at other girls' pretty girls ~ IndoMTL.com ~ So hesitate between the female mage and the female classmates!" Peter said Then he hit Li Jie's chest with his elbow.
"Don't describe me as a playboy like Tony Stark!" Li Jie waved his hand. Since spidey senses didn't even think about it, it seemed that he really thought about it.
"Right." Peter seemed to have just remembered something. He took out a few tickets from his arms: "This was given to me when I met Eugene Thompson before. Our basketball school team entered The quarter-finals of the Summer League. The game was held in New York. The one in four final of our school was held at the Knicks Garden Stadium. Thompson gave me the ticket, are you going to watch it? "
Li Jie received a ticket from Peter and also handed Harry a ticket: "Why not go. It happened that nBa is over. Watch the pre-season and the dying nBa exhibition of water It ’s better to watch the finals of the high school summer league. "
Harry looked at the ticket and said, "It seems that Thompson really apologizes. This is the best position in the first five rows of views."
After Peter, Li Jie, and Harry glanced at each other, Li Jie said with emotion: "Okay, anyway, I can't die by watching the ball. The world will not be destroyed soon." On the brink, life must still be normal! "
