An Acquaintance Below the Apartment Building

1998.

August 23rd.

Sunday.

The Beginning of Autumn (Chushu)

Suitable for renovation, opening a business, starting construction, breaking ground, installing a bed, trading, opening a business, and breaking ground.

Adam drove to Princeton University.

As a renowned young mathematical prodigy, Paige was provided with an independent apartment by Princeton University, located on the Princeton University campus, to facilitate the study and life of young mathematical geniuses.

Downstairs at the apartment building.

"Adam! What brings you here? Did you come to see me?"

As soon as I got off the car, an excited figure rushed towards me.

"Leonard?"

Adam was taken aback. "What are you doing here?"

"I..."

Leonard blushed and changed the subject, saying, "You didn't come here to see me?"

"No."

Adam said apologetically, "You know I'm very busy with work. I finally had a day off today, but a friend asked me to come over because he needed my help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had time to come."

"Besides me, do you have any other friends in Princeton?"

Leonard exclaimed in surprise, "Who is it? Why didn't you introduce me to them before?"

"We were high school friends."

Adam smiled and said, "She was too young before, and her mother always accompanied her to study here, so I rarely contacted her and didn't mention it."

"She's very young, and her mother is accompanying her to school?"

Upon hearing this, Leonard picked up his asthma inhaler and sprayed it into his mouth a few times, barely managing to suppress the rapid breathing caused by his pounding heart. He exclaimed in shock, "Your friend isn't Dr. Adler. Paige Adler, is she?"

"You know Paige too?"

Adam nodded and smiled, "That's right, Gifted like her is quite famous even at Princeton, so it's not surprising that you know her."

"She's a genius beauty!"

Leonard took a deep breath and excitedly added, "There has never been Gifted Beautiful Young Scientist such high looks in the history of science! The only one who can be compared with her is Dr. Elizabeth Dr. Plimpton of the Physics Department."

However, Dr. Plimpton was six years older than Dr. Adler, received her doctorate eight years later, and was also considerably less attractive than Dr. Adler, who was widely recognized as the most beautiful woman in the scientific community...

When this topic comes up, Leonard's eyes light up, and he talks on and on, even his asthma can't stop him.

Adam looked at him with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

Leonard talked for a long time before finally realizing what was happening and chuckled awkwardly.

"This is downstairs from Paige's apartment building."

Adam said with a playful tone, "Don't tell me you live around here too, or you just happened to be passing by?"

"Well."

Leonard blushed and was speechless.

"Hehe."

Adam couldn't help but laugh.

You won't believe how amazing the world is until you see it.

In this life, Sheldon and Leonard's indirect connection extends beyond Adam; now, Paige has also joined the fray.

What's even more interesting is that Paige likes Sheldon, Leonard has a crush on Paige.

Oh, and there's also Dr. Elizabeth Dr. Plimpton. If Adam remembers correctly, she's the Ying Dang female scientist.

Leonard and she had a one-night stand, well, plus a morning, and almost, we also had to include delivery driver Howard and landlord Rajesh...

"Let's talk later, I'm going upstairs now."

Adam patted Leonard on the shoulder, said something, and prepared to go upstairs.

"Can I come with you?"

Leonard asked expectantly, "I've always wanted to meet Dr. Adler."

"This..."

Adam paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's convenient or not."

Seeing Leonard looking at him pitifully, Adam smiled helplessly and said, "I'll go up and talk to Paige first. If it's convenient, we're all friends, so it's only right that we get to know each other."

"Marvelous!"

Leonard almost jumped up, but luckily his poor athleticism stopped him.

"I'll be waiting for your good news down here."

"Um."

Adam agreed and walked towards the apartment.

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs!"

Leonard's voice came from behind again.

"Knew."

Adam didn't turn around, but waved his hand behind him.

"I'm waiting for you!"

Just as Adam stepped into the elevator, Leonard's voice, suppressing his excitement, repeatedly reminded him.

This time, Adam didn't even bother to respond.

Without turning around, Leonard's image of his hands in front of him, his left hand clenching his right, and his grinning face automatically appeared in his mind.

Ding-dong.

Room A, 3rd floor.

Adam rang the doorbell.

A soft footstep reached Adam's ears in the room.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Adam's heart suddenly started beating much faster for some reason.

Paige was beautiful and adorable as a child, and she also had a unique charm.

Seven years have passed, what has Paige become?

Don't become Captain Marvel!

Don't become Captain Marvel!

Don't become Captain Marvel!

I'll say it three times because it's important!

However, judging from Leonard's obsessive and stalker-like behavior, and her title as the "most Gifted Beautiful Young Scientist in the history of science," Paige probably hasn't grown up to be ugly.

Perhaps it will be even better?

She suddenly called me over; what kind of help do she need?

I should have called Sheldon first to ask.

The only reason he and Paige had any connection was because of Sheldon.

Over seven years, several phone calls were made, all because of Sheldon.

He also always knew that Sheldon was the only friend Paige truly trusted.

The system's stat allocation doesn't lie.

Although Paige has been providing him with Wisdom Points, she hasn't provided him with Strength Points, which is the most direct and official evidence that their friendship level isn't high enough.

If we have to say, he can only barely be considered a friend; in reality, he's at most half a friend.

Paige's chilling indifference, which came from the depths of her soul, left a deep impression on Adam to this day.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take stock of the system panel that he had almost forgotten about, focusing on the Wisdom Points.

Intelligence: 177.75 (normal 100, 120 excellent, 140 genius, 180 super genius)

Initial value 108

Juno's contribution: +1 + 0.005*365*4 + 0.004*365*4 + 0.003*365*3 = 17.425!

Sheldon's contribution: +5 + 0.005*365*4 + 0.004*365*4 + 0.003*365*3 = 21.425!

Paige's contribution: +6 + 0.005*365*2 + 0.004*365*4 + 0.003*365*3 = 18.775!

Leonard's contribution: +3 + 0.004*365*4 + 0.003*365*3 = 12.125!

Strength: 440 (Normal 100, 200 Strong, 500 Super Strong, 1000 Inhuman)

Endurance: 560 (normal is 100, 200 is excellent, 500 Just You Show, 1000 is inhuman)

Speed: 180 (normal is 100, 200 is excellent, 500 Just You Show, 1000 is inhuman)

The Wisdom Points provided by Juno and others decrease every four years.

Now I'm less than three points away from the super genius's 180.

At this moment, Adam couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Cristina.

Considering she earned two doctoral degrees at such a young age, she is definitely a genius no less than Leonard.

If she considered him a friend and provided him with more than 3 Wisdom Points, Adam would most likely have already become a super genius, on par with Sheldon and Paige.

Creak.

Just as countless thoughts were flashing through Adam's mind, the door opened, revealing a face that made his heart race.

"Not Aunt Marvel!"

Adam cried out in his heart, "I haven't gotten any worse!"

"You're here!"

Paige's lips curled up, her smile unusually wicked.
