Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 139 Justice League
  After the game, Penny, Leonard, Howard, and Rajesh all looked excited, but Sheldon looked a little depressed.

Penny asked Leonard quietly.

"What happened to Sheldon?"

Leonard glanced at Sheldon and answered truthfully:
  "Maybe it's because he felt that your role in the game was just to make up the numbers, but we ended up relying on you to win the game. He couldn't accept it."

Penny looked speechless and puzzled.

"Is it true that the brain circuits of you scientists are different from those of us normal people?"

Leonard shrugged.

"At least I'm pretty normal."

At this time, staff from the competition organizer came over to inform everyone that the award ceremony would be held in the afternoon at a high-end hotel in Manhattan.

Penny knew that hotel because many Hollywood celebrities had held various press conferences there.

Coincidentally, Leonard also knew about this hotel because when he checked the information of Chuck Bass, one of the two founders of Steam, he saw that this hotel belonged to the Bass family.

The organizer's staff told them that many reporters and game manufacturer representatives would be invited to the award ceremony.

There is no dress code for taking the stage to receive the award, but if the five Leonards have clothing needs, the organizer can reimburse them for the cost of renting dresses.

Leonard was about to say no, it would be fine if they wore what they were wearing now to receive the award, but Penny didn't expect to speak first.

"Is there an upper limit on the amount of reimbursement? I mean, this is New York after all. If I want to rent a nice dress, it will cost a lot of money."

The answer was one thousand dollars per person.

Penny was thinking about where to rent a suitable dress when Sheldon came over.

Leonard was about to tell Sheldon about the clothes, but Sheldon spoke first and said that he had just heard everything.

"Penny, thank you for helping us win the game."

Penny and Leonard were stunned at the same time.

Especially Leonard, he couldn't believe that such words came from Sheldon's mouth.

"I know the award ceremony in the afternoon is very important to you. You definitely want to appear on the podium with a very stunning image, right?"

Although Penny couldn't figure out why Sheldon suddenly showed kindness to her, she still nodded and admitted it.

"Great, I have an idea that will definitely amaze you!"

"you?"

Penny looked suspicious.

You, a science geek with negative emotional intelligence and a single mother, actually know how to dress women?
  Not to mention Penny, even Leonard expressed deep doubts about this.

At this time, Howard and Rajesh came over, and they had already discussed how to spend the bonus after receiving it.

Everything is ready, now it’s just time to collect the prize.

Leonard explained to the two:
  "Sheldon thinks we should change our clothes for the awards ceremony, what do you think?"

Howard felt that his current outfit was very good. Do they need to attend the award ceremony of an e-sports competition in formal attire?

Leonard told Howard that the cost of clothing rentals was the responsibility of the convention organizers.

Howard immediately changed his mind and said that it would be nice to dress formally to receive the award.

It was Rajesh's turn. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw Penny beside him. He closed his mouth and didn't know what to say.

"You four discuss it, I'll wait for you at the door."

After Penny left, the first thing Rajesh said was:

“Can I attend wearing traditional Indian clothes?”

As a result, Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard unanimously opposed it.

Rajesh protested loudly:

"You are discriminating against Indians!"

Howard immediately said:

"Don't be stupid, Rajesh, if we discriminate against Indians, how can we be friends with you?"

Rajesh asked:

"Isn't the reason you are friends with me because you can't make other friends anymore?"

Howard was stunned for a moment, and then replied angrily.

"As if that's not why you made friends with us!"

Rajesh really couldn't refute this.

Leonard began to comfort Rajesh:

"Actually, we are really not discriminating against Indians. We are just afraid that if you wear Indian clothes on stage to receive the award, you will start dancing on the stage as soon as the music starts."

Rajesh's eyes widened.

Isn’t this enough to discriminate against Indians?

Leonard immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, Sheldon, why did you suddenly propose that everyone wear formal attire and go on stage to receive the award? Does this have any special meaning to you?"

Sheldon glanced at Leonard.

"First of all, I want to correct your statement. I just suggested that everyone change their clothes and go on stage to receive the award, but I never said that you should wear formal clothes."

Leonard asked puzzledly:

"Then what shall we wear?"

Sheldon spoke his mind.

"What do you think of the outfit we wore last time we went to San Diego Comic-Con?"

After it was over, Leonard, Howard, and Rajesh all looked at Sheldon with dumbfounded expressions. “Are you crazy to wear COS clothing on stage to receive an award?”

Leonard asked directly.

Sheldon replied with a proud look on his face:

"Do you dare to make a bet with me? I bet you will all agree after I tell you that reason. If I win, none of you can compete with me for the COS Flash title!"

The three Leonards looked at each other and firmly rejected Sheldon's unreasonable request.

Even if Sheldon can convince them, the qualifications for COS Flash still have to be determined by drawing lots according to the old rules.

This is a matter of principle!

Although the proposal was not approved, Shelton still expressed his reason for wearing COS clothing on stage to receive the award.

"I don't know what reason you all used to take time off to participate in the competition. Anyway, I used it to listen to Hawking's speech. The time is tonight. I can just catch up after the awards are over."

Leonard then said:

“I used it when my mom was sick and needed to visit.”

Howard and Rajesh both looked at Leonard in shock.

"Is your mother sick?"

Leonard shrugged helplessly.

"I hope this is true, because she is not so strong only when she is sick, but in fact, my mother has been sick less often than me since I was a child."

When it was Howard's turn, he used the excuse of returning to his alma mater, MIT, to attend an alumni event.

Of course, this reason is mainly used to deal with his mother.

Rajesh looked at the others with wide eyes.

"So I'm the only one who told the school directly that I wanted to participate in the CS video game competition without making any excuses?"

Leonard shrugged and said:

"Then you can play a superhero who doesn't need to wear a mask, such as Aquaman, as long as you don't reveal the identities of the rest of us."

Rajesh immediately retorted:
  "Superman doesn't wear a mask either, so why can't I cosplay him?"

Howard answered first:
  "Because although Superman has black hair like you, there has never been any comic that mentioned that Superman looks like an Indian."

Leonard then added:
  "When Superman appears as Clark Kent, he not only changes his hairstyle and puts on glasses, but also wears clothes to cover up his muscles and figure, stutters when he speaks, and is clumsy when doing things, all of which are difficult for other people to recognize. Discovered that he is actually the omnipotent superman."

"If you really want to cosplay Superman, I suggest you play Clark Kent, because everyone would never expect that Superman would disguise himself as an Indian."

Of course this was a bad joke, but unfortunately no one laughed.

While the three of them were discussing this matter, Sheldon had already prepared the lottery slips.

According to the old rules, no order is given, just hand speed.

The note was in Sheldon's hand, so he was the first to grab it.

The remaining three notes were quickly snatched away by Leonard, Howard, and Rajesh.

"Oh, this is so bad."

After Sheldon unfolded the note, he showed the contents of the note to the other three with regret on his face.

"I drew the Flash again!"

Leonard and the other three hadn't had time to see what they had drawn, but that didn't stop them from questioning Sheldon's cheating at all.

And Sheldon also readily admitted that he had indeed "cheated".

He folded the notes and shuffled their order, and then relied on his amazing memory to accurately remember the location of the Flash note.

Howard was complaining about this one second, but the next second he opened the note and found that he had drawn Batman, and immediately changed his mind and said that he was very satisfied with the result.

Leonard drew Green Lantern, which was barely acceptable.

Rajesh drew Aquaman. He actually didn't want the role of COS, but his protest was ignored by Sheldon.

"3:1. More than two-thirds of the people have agreed. I declare the proposal officially passed."

Rajesh continued to protest. Shouldn't this kind of thing be vetoed with one vote?

Howard regretfully told Rajesh:

"Only the five permanent members have a veto, and it is a pity that India is not included."

Before Rajesh could refute, Leonard had already changed the topic to the initiator of all this.

"Sheldon, I have one last question."

“The reason you persuaded us to join you on the COS Justice League stage to receive the award is that we all used different reasons to defraud the school to get the holidays, so our appearance when receiving the award cannot be exposed, at least we cannot let others recognize us. "

"But what about Penny? She wants to be exposed and noticed by more people. How do you convince her to join us?"

Sheldon seemed to have expected Leonard to ask this question, and answered without thinking:

"So none of you noticed that a very important character is missing from the lottery note I made?"

Howard responded:

"I know! You want Penny to play Wonder Woman, so that she can meet her requirement to show her face and form the Justice League with us, right?"

Rajesh immediately questioned:
  “Shouldn’t Wonder Woman’s hair be black?”

Howard immediately complained:

"Neptune's hair is golden, but none of us object to your COS role for this reason. Why don't you just wear a hair condom and be done with it?"

Leonard ignored the two people's interruption and looked directly at Sheldon.

Sheldon shrugged:

"Don't worry, I'll convince Penny."
