New Jersey.

The Comic Book Store near the Hofstadter Family.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce myself."

As soon as Leonard entered, he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "This is Adam Duncan, the author of the original Lord of the Mysteries novel, my best friend Leonard Hofstadter!"

"So young?"

"Really?"

The otaku in the Comic Book Store all looked over, and were somewhat incredulous at how young and handsome Adam was.

"Mr. Duncan, I really like Lord of the Mysteries. Could you please sign my autograph?"

The owner of the Comic Book Store rushed over immediately.

As someone working in the New York metropolitan area, I do have an impression of Adam, this rapidly rising star, since he participated in quite a few autograph sessions and promotions Adam year.

Whether the Comic Book Store owner is a true fan is debatable, but he definitely saw the potential for profit.

Not every Comic Book Store has an author coming to help out.

Once this gimmick is established, it makes a name for itself in the local comic book community, attracting more readers to buy comics and related merchandise.

After all, it doesn't matter where you buy it, right?

You might even bump into your idol here.

"Of course, no problem."

Seeing Leonard's proud and happy demeanor, Adam naturally wanted to give him face, so he quickly signed his name on the Lord of the Mysteries comic.

"Can we take a picture together?"

The Comic Book Store owner was pushing his luck.

"Hehe."

Adam smiled without saying a word, only glancing at Leonard.

The Comic Book Store owner was a businessman, a know-it-all, and immediately got to Leonard, fawning over him and making Leonard beam with joy.

Finally, they offered a 20% discount on all items and unlimited drinks.

"Adam, how about we take a picture together? I come to this Comic Book Store all the time."

Leonard said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Since you like it here, of course, no problem. But does he have a camera?"

Adam continued to flatter Leonard, deliberately raising his voice.

It doesn't really matter if we don't improve, because everyone's eyes are on this side and their Sheldon are all perked up.

Yes, yes, yes!

The Comic Book Store owner was overjoyed and said, "I'll go get it right away."

As he spoke, he rushed out of the Comic Book Store, borrowed a camera from somewhere, and asked Adam to take a picture with him with a grin.

Adam naturally wouldn't take a photo with him alone, insisting on bringing Leonard along.

So, at the entrance of the Comic Book Store, Adam stood in the center, the Comic Book Store owner stood on the left, Leonard stood on the right, and a nerdy guy helped take the picture.

The Comic Book Store owner plans to turn this photo into a poster for extensive promotion, and it will be permanently displayed in his store as proof of his qualifications.

Seeing the Comic Book Store owner's attitude, the other otaku finally confirmed Adam's identity and gathered around, asking for autographs.

Since Adam had come all this way, he decided to give Leonard as much face as possible and specifically asked these people if they were Leonard's friends. After receiving a series of "yes" responses, Adam nodded in agreement.

The Comic Book Store owner quickly prepared tables and chairs, and also provided each of the otaku with a copy of the comic book. The special on-site autograph session officially began.

Everyone in the Comic Book Store lined up to participate.

Even if someone isn't a fan of Lord of the Mysteries, a signed copy of the comic can easily be sold for a small fortune.

Some people even called on their friends and family.

This includes Leonard, who was overjoyed.

"What?"

Adam was signing autographs for the otaku when he heard Leonard whisper in his ear that he had also made phone calls to call for backup. Adam looked at him in surprise.

"It's Paige."

Leonard blushed and said, "She's kind of my girlfriend, but we're in a secret relationship."

"A secret relationship? You're really something."

Adam teased, "But are you really sure she's your girlfriend?"

"Well."

Leonard wanted to say yes, but reason wouldn't lie to him.

"I see."

Adam chuckled as he signed the autographs, "Since you called her over, you must have some ideas, right? Tell me, and I'll definitely help you make them come true."

"No, I have no idea."

Leonard stammered, "She likes your comics too. She's my girlfriend. You're my best friend. I think you two should get to know each other."

"Is that first kiss still there?"

Adam had a sudden thought.

Leonard nodded sheepishly.

Do you know Gila Coco?

Adam pressed for an answer.

"Hey, you know Gila?"

Leonard asked in surprise, "She's my classmate."

"When I went to your school to look for you, I happened to hear her name. I heard that you and she had a good relationship?"

Adam laughed.

"Well."

Leonard thought about Gila, who had a boyish personality and appearance, and didn't understand why Adam brought her up, but still nodded and said, "She's alright."

Do you like her?

Adam pressed for an answer.

He remembered that Leonard's first kiss, which lasted until he graduated high school, was broken by this girl, Gila, which was very significant to Leonard.

In the future, Leonard, who had achieved considerable success, was invited to give a speech to the graduates of his alma mater, where he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Gila.

"No."

Leonard shook his head and said, "I like Paige."

That's right!

Don't let Leonard's sycophantic appearance fool you; he's a true member of the "looks-matter" club, only fawning over goddesses he finds beautiful and captivating.

Of course, if his hormones require it, he'll be indiscriminate in his relationships with any woman, but his attitude will be completely different.

For example, in the original timeline, Leonard and Penny broke up, and the lustful Leonard activated the deal with Howard, asking Bernadette to help him find a female companion.

Bernadette couldn't refuse Howard's request, so she arranged for Leonard to meet a 'warrior' he met at the gym. Not only did the guy look very masculine, but he had also practiced various self-defense techniques for women and could come up with dozens or even hundreds of variations of the Monkey Stealing Peaches technique.

During their date, Leonard, who looked down on this tomboyish woman, directly mocked her for eating too much, mentioning that it was a $200 lobster.

This is no ordinary act.

It's worth noting that among Leonard's four science boys, Sheldon was still a giant baby, completely indifferent to the indescribable, while the remaining Howard and Rajesh had no bottom line as long as they were happy.

For example, Howard and Rajesh once had an encounter with a 300-pound Sailor Moon at an anime convention.

For example, Howard took the heartbroken Leonard to find some middle-aged women dancing in the square, and very experiencedly said, "The women are very gentle, you'll like them."

Rajesh is even more impressive, managing to keep dogs in such an ambiguous way that people even play guessing games based on whether he was saying something to his dog or his girlfriend.

Because there are almost no differences, it's hard to tell them apart.

Leonard's way of mocking his date is absolutely unique.

Of course, when that tomboy finally invited him to... well, you know... he readily complied...
