Chapter 445 Graduation Ball and Summer League (4,500-Word Chapter~)

Prom is a very important event for many American high school students.

Because in many cases, graduating from high school means that the child has grown up. Whether you're going to college or going to work.

After high school, for most people in this country, it means that you can leave the family and start living on your own.

Because it goes without saying that if you go out to work independently, many young people will choose to rent a house outside after having independent financial income, and try to start to break away from the family and the care of their parents.

And if you go to university, it is very likely that you will go to a place farther away from home to live. And going to a prestigious school in the US has never been a small expense.

Take Peter Parker, for example. The combined annual income of his uncle and aunt is more than 80,000 U.S. dollars a year, which can be considered as a middle-class income in the United States.

But after removing the expenses, if you want Peter to go to a famous school like New York University or MIT. Peter also needs the school to provide a full scholarship to meet.

If the school can not provide full scholarship, only half of the scholarship. Then Peter would have to resort to high student loans.

It is very likely that he will be in debt of tens of thousands of dollars before he has a job.

But for Peter Parker now, the more than 100,000 U.S. dollars spent in four years of college have become small money, and his copyright as Spider-Man has brought him nearly a million U.S. dollars in income (approximately equal to Hawkeye ten annual income).

And this is the income that can be obtained after tax. Even if part of this has to be used to maintain the night watchman base's expenses and do charity projects. But the remaining money was enough for Peter's four years in college.

So he turned down the more than 20,000 dollars in college preparation that Uncle Ben had prepared for him.

"I got a full scholarship to New York University and found a suitable part-time job. I can support myself through college for four years with my own hands. So Uncle, this money will allow you and Aunt May to go on a trip together." For example, a trip to Europe or Los Angeles." Peter rejected the cash check from Uncle Ben in this way.

For Peter now more and more independent and more mature. Uncle Ben and Aunt May were still very happy. There is always a day for young swallows to leave the nest, and a time for young birds to fly high.

"Peter! Get in the car!" It was Li Jie who came to pick Peter up for the high school prom. Always keeping a low profile, he has been driving his second-hand Ford.

Even after the establishment of Marvel Comics, he never changed to a new car. Because the old car is used to it, I don't think it is necessary to change it.

But today, as the last prom of high school, Li Jie made a high profile for the first time. He drove the suspension car produced by Steck Industries Group sent by Pepper to go out.

Metallic red mirror spray paint, and a supercar appearance that is more explosive than Lamborghini poison, it is absolutely eye-catching when driving on the road.

The top speed of this suspension car can reach 600 kilometers per hour. At the same time, if the safety height limit device is removed, it can be suspended at a height of 15 meters. Of course, doing so 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 high-end model among the suspension cars launched by the Stark Group around the world. Limited to 500 units worldwide. The model is Sleibnir, which is the name of the eight-legged horse in myths and legends.

At present, the car is only a plaything for a small number of rich people in the world. If it weren't for Li Jie's matchmaking between the Stark Group and the Osborne Group. With his current income, he may not even be able to afford this world's top supercar.

Except for the fact that Luo Ji drove out once before and made Thor vomit, Li Jie himself had never driven it.

And now the last class reunion in high school, it doesn't matter if it's high-key or low-key. How happy you are.

"Cool, you should have taken out this car and drove it a long time ago. Instead of driving your broken Ford." Peter sat in Lesbian's car and looked at the exquisite and technological interior of the car in admiration. Speaking of.

"Since you like it so much, why don't you drive today. I remember you got your driver's license." Li Jie got out of the driver's seat as he spoke, motioning Peter to change seats with him.

Peter patted Li Jie on the shoulder: "Thanks, buddy! I've wanted to try this supercar for a long time!"

Peter hurriedly exchanged places with Li Jie, holding the steering wheel, Peter felt great.

Li Jie looked at Peter, who had been holding the steering wheel but didn't start it, and urged: "Enough, my superhero. Can I drive now? Next time, can you feel the interior of this car?"

"Oh, okay. Actually, no." Peter hesitated a bit: "I just can't find where the ignition start button and clutch are in this car."

Li Jie patted his head helplessly, hoping that there would be no car accident later.

When Peter drove the suspension sports car to the graduation dance scene in the school auditorium without any risk, this super cool suspension sports car became the focus of everyone.

There are almost two hundred students attending the prom throughout the third year of high school.

Almost everyone who passed by and saw this car wanted to take a photo and post it on Weibo or something. Young people's love for supercars is regardless of gender. Something this cool is endearing.

At the same time, Harry was also driven to school by a driver in a Bentley. He saw Li Jie's Lesbianer suspension supercar and whistled: "What? I figured it out, why don't I leave this good car in the garage for ashes?"

Li Jie shrugged: "It doesn't matter, I'm about to graduate anyway. Is this the last arrogance of adolescence?" Peter and Harry smiled silently.

For the other students of the three of them now, the current small social circle formed by the three of them can't get in other people at all. Although no matter Li Jie, Harry or Peter, the three of them are warm and polite to others.

But for these three people, other classmates and friends are just classmates and friends. It didn't really rise to the level of [dude].

The inner circle formed by these three partners does not allow others to enter easily. Especially when the three of them had achieved considerable achievements before they graduated from high school, many people now regret not having a good relationship with the three of them in high school.

Harry, of course, needless to say. As the sole heir of the world's largest corporation, this kid has always been the pride of heaven. Even if others work hard for a lifetime, most of them will not be able to reach his current height.

And Peter Parker originally seemed to be just a little smart, but he was a nerd who died of reading. This kind of guy plays the role of being bullied in school by the football team, by the baseball team, by the basketball team, by the movie club, by the rock club (well, that's how it's usually set up in Hollywood movies).

But now this seemingly clever guy has been directly admitted by New York University, and several papers he published on biological research have also been published in professional academic journals. Although it only gave the worst few layouts.

But being able to be featured in a professional subject magazine is an honor in itself. Because boarding this kind of subject magazine is specially for scientists to accumulate points. Most of the articles published by postgraduates, doctors or even professors may not be selected.

However, Peter Parker, a high school student, has an article selected. Does this mean that a new scientist is about to rise? For the school, this is something worth celebrating, and even school leaders are planning it.

If Peter Parker can publish several articles of the same quality during his college days, the school will award him the title of honorary alumnus.

Many people who looked down on nerds began to feel a little regretful. Why didn't they have anything to do with this kind of big man in the future?

Regarding Li Jie's words, more people have deeper resentment towards him. If Harry had a remarkable parentage, Peter had a genius mind. So what does Li Jie have?

His looks are good-looking, but he is not so good-looking that if a woman sees him, he will not marry him. The body is considered strong, but not as strong as a pervert on a football team. The grades are between B+ and A, and between medium and excellent. Smarter than the average person, but not so smart.

But what he has achieved now is the envy of many students. Opening a fast food truck can become an urban food legend in New York, making all the old gourmets eager to queue up to eat his dishes.

He opened a comic book company, and in just over half a year, he has collected a lot of copyrights for superheroes. And now the copyright of Captain Rogers with the highest IP value is also in hand. Entertainment companies including Sony, Disney, and Paramount have all begun to contact this small comic company. Discussing issues such as buying copyrights to adapt movies, animations and peripherals.

According to rumors, this guy is also related to Tony Stark. For example, the world-limited supercar he is driving now is a gift from the Stark Group.

This made a group of Li Jie's classmates feel crazy, one of them just seemed to be better. But how did a person who is not so heaven-defying get to where he is now step by step?

Even though he just graduated from high school, Li Jie's achievements are beyond the reach of many people in their lifetime.

Of course, this group of students didn't know about Li Jie's other identity and his plans with the Illuminati. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be countless people who shouted "I have lived in vain!" and then committed suicide by bowing their necks.

Life is a lifetime of tossing, if you don't go crazy, you can't survive. Life without tossing is always incomplete, especially when you have some special abilities. Li Jie believes in this sentence very much, so his life is full of ups and downs.

What the system brought him was just a starting step, but it really took him step by step to the present. He always relied on himself.

Sitting in the sofa booth in the auditorium, Li Jie and two friends drank carbonated drinks (because they have not yet reached the legal drinking age, so the school dance will not provide alcoholic drinks) discussing some things.

After rejecting the fourth wave of girls who came to invite to dance, all the girls present were sure that these three guys must be GAY! Otherwise, why don't these guys dance with me when he is so beautiful? Or even talk about what happened after the prom.

All beautiful girls are full of confidence in their own charm, and they can't stand being rejected by the opposite sex, which hurts their self-esteem. So they can only push all the culprits to GAY.

A big reason Harry and Peter don't get involved with other girls is that they have girlfriends. Harry knew exactly what was going on in the minds of the girls who jumped at him, and he wasn't the rambunctious Tony Stark of his youth.

Although he is as young, wealthy and handsome as Tony was when he was young. But Harry was much more stable than Tony back then. He wasn't in the mood to miss the flowers as much as Tony did, especially now that he had Mary Jane.

And Peter was afraid that Gwen would suddenly ask about the prom one day, and he couldn't make up a good lie to get around it. You know, Gwen's brain is too smart.

As for Li Jie, he didn't even look at the other girls. Apart from chatting with two friends, he had been paying attention to another girl in his direction at nine o'clock. This girl was called Roland. It's my classmates in the same grade but in a different class.

Coincidentally, this girl was the one Captain Rogers asked him to secretly help protect. As long as there is a problem with the transfer of manpower on the captain's side, the gang of night watchmen will take someone to transfer to protect her.

"Hey hey hey! I know you're on a mission, but this is prom dude. Can you stop staring at that girl? There are three of us here, you don't need to be so serious." Peter waved in front of Li Jie's eyes. waved.

"Don't forget, there is a beautiful mage living in your house! This makes me afraid to go to your house to play games for a while." Peter complained.

Harry smiled. "Relax man, it's prom. The two of us aren't going to dance, but don't you find a beautiful girl to dance with? Maybe something will happen later. Look at those hot girls Look at your eyes, Tiffany from the basketball cheerleading team is looking at you, waiting for you to ask her to dance. If you take the initiative, I think something should happen."

Harry instigated Li Jie with good intentions. Li Jie took a sip of the Coke in his glass and said, "Ha, didn't you hear what Peter said just now? There is a beautiful mage living in my house!"

After Li Jie finished speaking, he shook his head and smiled: "I just looked at Roland just because she gave me a special feeling, and I can't explain why. I feel that Roland who has been drinking water quietly over there is a bit strange. Every time I see her eyes, I always feel that she can see through anything. I also felt this way when I was secretly protecting her a few times."

"You think too much, buddy. My spider sense has never worked on her. You just think other girls are pretty. So hesitate between the female mage and the female classmate!" Peter bumped his elbow while speaking. He touched Li Jie's chest.

"Don't describe me as a playboy like Tony Stark, please!" Li Jie waved his hand, since he didn't even think about the spider sense, it seems that he really thought too much.

"By the way." Peter seemed to have just remembered something, and he took out a few tickets from his arms: "He gave it to me when I met Eugene Thompson before. Our basketball school team entered the summer league. The quarterfinals. The game is in New York. Our school's quarterfinals are at the Knicks Garden. Thompson gave me the ticket, will you go to see it?"

Li Jie took a ticket from Peter and handed one to Harry at the same time: "Why don't you go. It just so happens that the NBA is over. Watching the preseason games and the dreaded NBA Development League games How about watching the high school summer league finals."

Harry looked at the ticket and said, "It seems that Thompson really apologized very sincerely. This is the position with the best view in the first five rows."

After Peter, Li Jie and Harry looked at each other, Li Jie said with emotion: "Well, no one can die after going to the game. This world is not on the verge of destruction. Just live normally!"
