Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere

Chapter 929: Just Because Others Can’t Doesn’t Mean I Can’t!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Porthampton University’s sports meet was only held for two days, and most of the track and field events would be held on the first day.

Ordinary people could participate in two competitions, so that was already considered very extraordinary.

After the first round, you still had to prepare for the next round. Most people simply didn’t have the physical strength to do so. For example, it was impossible for a person to finish a 1,000-meter run, then participate in the high jump, and finally do the 800-meter backstroke all in one go.

Of course, there was a situation where the person who participated in the competition did not want to win at all. No matter what kind of competition it was, such a person would only go through the motions. This behavior could still be explained.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get good results in all four competitions.

“Alright, everyone, stop talking. Can the person you’re talking about compare to Fergus?”

At this moment, a girl stood up and continued, “Fergus participated in two events, and he was aiming for first place in both. Although that person participated in four events, he definitely came in last place…”

“Yes, that’s right. I think that person must have been asked to step up because no one from his class participated in the sports meet…”

“This kid is really amazing. He actually dares to participate in four competitions alone. If he gets the last place in all of them, he will be a celebrity in our school in the future!”

“Hahaha, that’s right. This person is too bold. If it were me, I would definitely not participate…”

Everyone laughed and started to discuss this mysterious person.

Connor sat beside Lindsy with a helpless expression.

These people might not know that the fool they were talking about was none other than Connor!

“…”

Lindsy smiled faintly when she heard what everyone said and did not say anything.

After all, Lindsy was a student of the physical education department. She knew that it was impossible for one person to participate in four events at the same time.

If she were to participate, she would basically be there to make up the numbers. It would be impossible for her to get a good ranking, so she did not refute anything.

Fergus saw Connor sitting next to Lindsy. The two of them were talking and laughing.

Therefore, he couldn’t help but frown and ask Lindsy softly, “Lindsy, who is this?”

“He is Connor McDonald, my friend!” Lindsy hurriedly explained.

“Connor McDonald?”

When Fergus heard this name, he couldn’t help but be stunned. Then, he said softly, “This name sounds familiar. Hello, my name is Fergus Long!”

“Hello!”

Connor looked at Fergus and nodded lightly, but his attitude was very cold.

After ordinary students found out about Fergus’s identity, they were usually very polite to him. After all, he was the president of the student council, a position which had quite a lot of power.

However, Connor was so cold when facing Fergus.

Not only did he not stand up to talk to Fergus, but he also practically ignored him. This made the surrounding students feel a little dissatisfied.

Fergus was naturally very unhappy in his heart, but he did not show it. Instead, he asked Connor softly, “Connor, you’re here to train, right? Are you also participating in the high jump?”

At this moment, Fergus asked Connor this question. He was actually asking if Connor was here to train or to accompany Lindsy.

“Connor is…”

Lindsy opened her mouth to speak.

“Yes, I’m participating in the high jump competition!”

Connor nodded lightly.

“That’s too much of a coincidence. I’m also participating in the high jump…”

The expression on Fergus’s face clearly eased up a lot because he felt that since Connor was also participating in the high jump, it meant that Connor did not come here specially to accompany Lindsy. This also meant that Connor and Lindsy might just be ordinary friends.

But at this moment, Connor spoke again.

“Not only am I participating in the high jump, but I’m also participating in the 100-meter sprint!”

Fergus looked at Connor and was stunned for a moment. He frowned and parroted, “The 100-meter sprint as well?”

“Other than the 100-meter spring, I’m also participating in the 800-meter race and long jump…” Connor added.

For a moment, everyone present was stunned on the spot, and the expressions on their faces was indescribable shock.

They had never expected that the fool who had participated in four events, whom they had been laughing at, would actually be standing beside them.

Even Lindsy had a look of disbelief on her face. Previously, Lindsy saw that Connor had not been training and was sitting on a chair to rest. She thought that Connor was here to hang out. She did not expect Connor to be participating in the sports meet.

However, Lindsy had never thought that Connor was the one who had participated in all four competitions!

For a moment, everyone present fell silent.

Lindsy hesitated for a moment before asking Connor softly. “Connor, are you joking?”

“I’m not joking. I’m the one who participated in four events!”

Connor replied to Lindsy, then turned to look at the students around him and said, “But I’m not going there to make up the numbers. I’m going there to get first place. I want to get first place in all four of these events…”

Everyone looked at Connor as if they were looking at a lunatic. Apart from confusion, there was shock on their faces. They couldn’t understand why Connor had the courage to say these words.

“Is there something wrong with this person’s brain?”

“That’s right. He’s participating in four events by himself, and he actually said that he wants to get first place in all of them. If he’s not an idiot, what is he?”

“There’s definitely something wrong with this person!”

“He might not even be able to get first place in one competition, let alone four! Now he dares to say that he wants to get first place in all of them. If he isn’t crazy, what is he?”

Everyone began to discuss in low voices.

Fergus stood beside Connor with an ugly expression on his face. Connor’s words just now were clearly a slap to his face!

After all, Fergus had just said that he had participated in two events, but Connor had said that he would participate in four events, and he wanted to get first place in all of them.

Wasn’t this a slap to his face? What was this?

Lindsy hesitated for a moment before asking Connor softly, “Connor, can you participate in four events alone?”

“Others can’t do it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t!”

Connor said lightly.

“Hehe, Connor is quite confident. Then let’s see each other at the school sports meet tomorrow. At that time, I want to see if you really have the ability you’re boasting about!”

Fergus said to Connor with a gloomy expression.

Connor turned his head and looked at Fergus without saying anything.
