Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere

Chapter 947: 100-Meter Sprint
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Fergus stood in his position, he sized up Connor.

When he saw Connor wearing a set of casual clothes, he couldn’t help but sneer. He sighed in his heart. “He doesn’t even have proper sportswear. It seems that Connor is here to embarrass himself. I may not be as good as you in terms of connections, but no one can compare to me in track and field!”

It was normal for Fergus to think this way. After all, Fergus was very good at track and field events. Moreover, the 100-meter sprint and the high jump were the two events that Fergus was best at.

Therefore, Fergus was the most eye-catching one in every school sports meet. Whenever he appeared on the field, he would receive the most enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Just now, Connor had invited so many sponsors over. In terms of momentum, he could definitely crush Fergus. However, Fergus was confident that he could crush Connor in this competition. In this way, it could be considered a draw. Fergus did not feel particularly inferior to him.

On the other side, Eunice saw that Connor had nothing to do, so she took the initiative to introduce the rules of the 100-meter sprint to Connor.

The 100-meter sprint competition was actually very simple. More than 50 participating students were divided into five groups. Each group had about ten people. The top two would advance to the finals.

The finals would be held after the group stage. Therefore, the truly powerful students would not use their full strength in the group stage. They would try their best to conserve their strength as long as they could advance to the finals.

Most of the students were warming up, while Connor stood there expressionlessly. No one knew what he was thinking.

When Eunice saw Connor’s state, she was more or less worried.

In fact, Eunice did not have much hope for Connor. She felt that as long as Connor didn’t come in last, it would be fine. As for him advancing to the finals, that was simply something that she did not dare to think about.

The group matches were carried out by drawing lots, so no one knew what opponents they would encounter.

Soon after, the announcer announced the number of the first group participating in the sprint, and all the students were ready.

Two minutes later, the starting pistol was fired, and the first group match of the 100-meter sprint finally began. Deafening cheers instantly erupted from around the field.

After the first round of the group competition, the second round followed.

At this moment, the students in the school were watching the game through the big screen on the field. If there were many matches, the two big screens would be split into four and play all four matches simultaneously.

However, the 100-meter sprint was a single competition, so the content on the two big screens was the same.

The second group match was very eye-catching because Fergus was there.

Sure enough, when Fergus appeared in front of the camera, the field erupted into cheers again.

The match started very quickly, but it ended very quickly as well.

Fergus used his overwhelming strength to take first place without any suspense. Moreover, he won very easily, as if he had used less than half of his strength.

Tamia, who was sitting in the audience, turned her head to look at Lindsy and sighed softly. “Fergus seems to be even better than last year. He might even be able to break the school’s record of 10.08 seconds!”

“It’s definitely possible!”

Lindsy seemed to agree and nodded lightly.

Dominic, who was beside the two of them, shouted loudly. “I don’t care if Fergus can break the school record. What I care about now is whether Connor will get the last place…”

“Yeah, I hope Connor doesn’t come in last. Otherwise, all his acting at the school gate would be in vain…” Spencer quickly said.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Connor will definitely be the last. Look at all the running participants. Who else is wearing casual jeans apart from Connor? If Connor doesn’t come in last place, I’d find it very surprising. This is simply a joke…”

Lindsy didn’t hold back at all as she spoke directly.

Dominic and Spencer were helpless after hearing Tamia’s words. They took a deep breath and didn’t know how to retort.

Tamia seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She turned her head and asked Dominic softly, “By the way, Dominic, you two have known Connor for so long. Who is he? How did he manage to invite so many sponsors?”

When Lindsy heard this, a trace of curiosity flashed across her eyes as she hurriedly looked at Dominic.

“This…”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Dominic’s eyes. After all, Connor had specially instructed him not to expose his identity, so he did not know how to explain it.

“Actually, the two of us don’t know Connor very well. There are some things that he won’t tell us, so we don’t know who he is. If you’re curious, you can ask Connor yourself…” Spencer responded quickly.

“I’m not very close to Connor. He won’t tell me even if I ask him!” Tamia pouted and said lightly.

At this moment, Dominic suddenly interrupted this topic. “Connor’s match seems to be starting soon!”

Everyone looked up at the big screen and saw that Connor had already walked to the starting line and was waiting quietly.

Connor’s attire was a little too different from the other athletes around him. The Porthampton University had held so many sports events, but this was the first time they had seen someone dressed like this to participate in a sprinting competition. Therefore, the students in the school were inevitably a little surprised.

After these students knew Connor’s identity, they felt that Connor might be here to cause trouble, so they didn’t pay too much attention to it.

“Bang!”

At this moment, a gunshot sounded.

All the students on the track started running at the same time, trying their best to reach the finish line.

However, when Connor heard the gunshot, his first reaction was not to run, but to be slightly stunned.

After all, it was Connor’s first time participating in such a competition, so he didn’t know much about how things went.

Therefore, Connor was stunned for a moment before he began to rush forward.

When Dominic and Spencer and the others saw this scene, they all revealed helpless expressions.

“It’s over. This time, Connor will definitely be the last. He was already slower than the others, and now he’s so far behind. It would be strange if he isn’t in last place!”

Dominic shouted with a broken expression.

Dominic had just finished speaking when Lindsy suddenly spoke up.

“It seems… It doesn’t seem to be the case…”
