Of course, what Locke wrote in his notebook was not mathematics homework, but his own lottery research, with the purpose of winning the prize.

There are many large-scale lotteries with great influence in the United States, such as Powerball, Mega Millions and other lotteries. However, these lotteries are widely distributed and have been designed by special personnel. They even hired many mathematical experts as consultants. Locke Working alone, it is difficult to find loopholes.

However, lotteries in the United States are very popular, and the types are even more diverse. Each state has its own small lotteries. The gameplay of these lotteries is different, and not all of them are strictly logical.

Especially for some newly issued lotteries, the gameplay is new. Unlike those large lotteries that have been verified for a long time, the probability of discovering loopholes through mathematics is higher.

As long as you study the rules and perform mathematical calculations, you have the opportunity to increase the theoretical winning rate from one in ten million to one in one thousand, greatly improving the winning rate. Then based on the results, you can buy all these thousands of copies. In theory, you can Guaranteed to win big.

There are even mathematicians who specialize in doing this kind of thing, and it has even been in the news. Even if it is successful, it is considered legal income. If it spreads, it will probably be blacklisted by these lottery issuers.

Of course, we also need to be wary of cheating by some issuers, such as using delayed recording and broadcasting to announce results. If we encounter such direct cheating behind the scenes, the accuracy of mathematical calculations will be in vain.

Locke's IQ was high enough and he was proficient in mathematics. When he bought something at a convenience store and got a bonus lottery ticket, he came up with the idea of ​​using mathematics to calculate the lottery ticket.

The dense data in the notebook are all lottery information he collected, as well as records of mathematical calculations.

He has almost studied a new lottery ticket that was released less than a year ago. As long as he buys the planned 3,200 lottery tickets, his chance of winning will reach 100%.

He is now doing a final review to ensure that his calculations are correct. This step must be done with caution, because all his current savings are only enough for him to make one attempt.

As for the homecoming dance, it is indeed very attractive to students of this age. Even Peggy asked him about the homecoming dance during lunch.

"I think it's impossible for you to find a dance partner." Lip said to Peggy with a smile: "No one wants a nine-year-old girl to be their dance partner."

"So can someone like you find a dance partner?" Peggy said without changing her expression, making Lip instantly put on a mask of pain.

"There's nothing that can't be won, it's just a dance." Locke said while simulating the calculation of the lottery in his mind: "I have no intention of attending this homecoming dance just because I have something to finish."

His high intelligence allows him to multitask with ease.

"I really don't know why you declined Mandy's invitation." Lip said: "If you do this, my plan will be ruined."

"Your plan has never succeeded." Locke said without hesitation: "If you want to pick up girls, you'd better sort out your image first and restrain the way you look at girls.

Listen to the advice and have a good meal. Look, Kevin has found a prom partner. "

Kevin is also a member of the Mathematical Olympiad competition team. According to the students, he is a 'nerd' like Lip.

This title is unpopular in American high schools and is an alternative name for weird behavior. The chance of catching a girl is almost zero.

But he is a very active person. He listened to Locke's advice, coupled with his perseverance, his ability to speak well and obediently continued to improve in the process of failure. He finally managed to get out of singles, and became the object of Lip's envy. .

On the contrary, this guy Lip usually talks eloquently, but when facing girls, he often becomes clumsy and clumsy. In addition, his image is not up to par, and he is still single until now.

"Did you reject Mandy because you found a dance partner?" Peggy didn't pay attention to Lip and looked at Locke.

"I don't plan to attend the homecoming dance. Maybe I will try if I have the opportunity in the future, but there are too many things to be busy with now. My research is at a critical moment, and I don't have time to deal with it."

"But Mandy will graduate next year. If she misses this time, there will be no chance of inviting her to the homecoming dance." Lip continued to persuade from the side.

"Don't worry, there will never be a shortage of young and beautiful girls on the high school campus, and there will be opportunities in the future." Locke said.

"But you have perfectly avoided all these opportunities." Lip was a little frustrated.

He ignored Lip. For Locke, the most important thing now was to complete the review of the lottery calculations to ensure nothing went wrong.

The homecoming dance did not change because of Locke's absence. It was as lively as the previous dances. However, when Locke went to Mandy's house for tutoring the next weekend, she had not gotten up yet.

Locke didn't care either. Anyway, the time started from when he arrived at Mandy's house. He was indispensable for tutoring fees, and Mandy's family was not short of this money.

Mandy's tutoring fees filled the last gap in funds he needed to buy lottery tickets, and he couldn't wait to try it.

Time passed like this. After school that day, according to the calculated results, after buying the required lottery tickets, I returned to the dormitory, opened the system panel, and planned to try the meditation battle that appeared before.

This is a method of mental training. It basically involves sitting cross-legged and practicing mind training, simulating a duel with an opponent in your mind to improve your adaptability in actual combat.

This is a special ability that suddenly appeared in the system after he combined multiple fighting skills into mixed martial arts. However, he still needed to complete the lottery calculation some time ago, so he put it aside for the time being. Now it is time to try it.

He directly launched a meditation battle, and soon felt his eyes go dark, as if his soul had left his body.

When I could see things clearly again, I found that I was in the middle of a dilapidated village, surrounded by a faint mist, and a dark wind blew by from time to time. I looked down at myself again and found that my clothes had not changed.

He moved for a while and found that it seemed to be no different from reality. At this time, a man in smart clothes slowly walked out of the fog and stood not far in front of him.

At the same time, a message appeared in Locke's mind: Muay Thai fighter, Muay Thai intermediate.

Obviously, this is an opponent set according to Locke's skill level. It is not an exaggeration that a fighting master appears directly.

Locke carefully took up his stance. The boxer on the opposite side remained silent and assumed a classic Muay Thai stance. His eyes stared at Locke coldly, full of the smell of blood.

The dark wind blew by, and the two people approached slowly. Locke stared at each other closely, choosing a way to deal with it in his heart.

In the first official battle, Locke didn't want to take the initiative to attack. He was planning to see the opponent's path first and then find ways to deal with it, but he was shocked when he saw the opponent suddenly disappeared.

But soon, the memory brought by mixed martial arts made him understand that the opponent used a unique pace to enter the blind spot of his vision by moving quickly, and then rushed to his side.

The whole process seemed to be teleporting, leaving Locke unable to react for a moment.

In such a short period of time, Locke couldn't think of how to respond, or even quickly judge the opponent's position. He could only tentatively throw a punch in one direction, hoping for luck.

The next moment, he felt a pain in his neck, and then there was the crisp sound of bones breaking. The last scene in his mind was that the other party retreated and distanced themselves from him, taking back his posture with a cold expression.

His vision went dark and he regained consciousness, and Locke found himself reappearing in the dormitory.

After sitting there in silence for a long time, Locke looked embarrassed. If you don't count the time when the two sides approached cautiously, he didn't even hold on for a second before he died from the time the other party started taking action.

After a short fight, Locke understood that there was a clear gap between his eyesight, reaction speed, skills and even his mental quality during combat, and he was no different from his opponent in fighting.
