Life Through the Ame Chapter 9: Leadership

Evening.

The sun was setting.

"Sigh."

Adam rode his bike ho, letting out a long sigh.

It wasn't that Duke refused to help.

In fact, despite his confusion, Duke helped Adam set up a eting with a genius classmate. When the three t, Adam used his honed acting skills and decades of future knowledge to try and befriend the classmate. It seed like Adam's efforts weren't in vain, as the classmate's attitude towards him gradually shifted from initial indifference to warmth.

However, despite acting all day, the system never popped up with any notification. Adam could only return ho dejectedly.

"What's wrong?"

Adam thought anxiously, "From his words and actions, Duke's classmate clearly has a high IQ and has shown a willingness to befriend . He even explicitly said that we are now friends. But why didn't it work? Is it gender discrimination? Is it because he's not female?"

Thinking of this, Adam glanced at the system panel and mocked himself, "System, oh system, you're not that kind of system, are you? Probably not, after all, even a system must comply with the first law: Safety first! Reckless driving leads to tragedy..."

With too few samples and a lack of comparison, Adam couldn't figure out the mystery for the ti being.

"It seems I have to continue."

Adam's eyes gradually beca firm. If one genius didn't work, he would find another. If a male genius didn't work, he would find a female one. He refused to believe he couldn't figure out the rules.

Nightfall.

Ding dong.

"You're here."

Adam ran to open the door and was pleasantly surprised to see Juno.

"Not welco?"

Juno looked at Adam in surprise, the curve of her lips widening unconsciously. With her keen observation skills, she could naturally see that Adam was more surprised than frightened by her arrival. His attitude had changed drastically in just one day, which was interesting...

"Welco, welco."

Adam was still thinking about whether Juno could increase his wisdom points by 0.005 every day, and he no longer cared about the worry that she might be a bloodthirsty Little Red Riding Hood.

After all, people die for wealth, and birds die for food!

"Hi, Juno~"

Teddy, holding Charlie, drawled a greeting with a playful look on her face.

Their mother, Amy, had finished her maternity leave and returned to work. As a nurse, she often worked overti. Their father, Bob, was an exterminator. Since most houses in the US were made of wood, they often had serious problems with pests, requiring Bob's ergency services. Therefore, he was also often away from ho.

Charlie was still young, and most of the ti, Teddy was taking care of her. Although Adam was the eldest brother, he only helped out occasionally. As for Gabe, the third child, no one dared to count on him.

This Duncan family was quite similar to Adam's family in his past life. His parents needed to work, and there were many children in the family. Basically, the older ones took care of the younger ones. Siblings of similar ages almost always bickered, but it was also very warm. When they grew up, the siblings had a very good relationship. It was precisely because of this similarity and warmth that Adam integrated well and truly regarded the Duncans as his own family.

As a family mber, his sister Teddy naturally had to gossip about his love life.

"Hi, Teddy."

Juno nodded calmly. As a weirdo in most people's eyes, her ntal fortitude was rock solid. Teddy's gossipy gaze and tone couldn't cause a ripple in her emotions.

"Teddy, you're in charge of Charlie, no problem, right?"

Adam asked.

"Of course, no problem."

Teddy agreed with a smile, then muttered sowhat self-deprecatingly, "Anyway, Spencer isn't coming today, so it seems my first kiss won't be happening at ho..."

Yesterday, she invited Spencer to "study" together. Although she persuaded her parents to go out on a date and Adam took Charlie out, there was still the mischievous Gabe at ho. Every ti she and Spencer got close, he would suddenly appear and interrupt the atmosphere.

She was willing to try again and again, but Spencer didn't have the patience. After several interruptions, Spencer simply left, making her hate Gabe but unable to do anything about it. She could only feel sorry for herself.

"Call

if you need anything."

Adam didn't bother with Teddy's self-pity, gave her instructions, and took Juno to the basent.

Although Spencer had so problems, in the original tiline, Teddy and Spencer did end up together, which could be considered a happy ending for childhood sweethearts. He didn't want to interfere in their relationship because he wanted to show brotherly love. Feelings were personal, and besides, he had no right to judge Spencer.

An hour later.

"Oh, God, again?"

Emtt walked in and saw Adam and Juno studying seriously. He patted his forehead. "Adam, you can't be a nerd, you have to rock and roll!"

Clang!

Saying that, Emtt picked up the drumstick and slamd it against the triangle.

"Emtt, you discriminate against nerds now, and later it will be the nerds' turn to discriminate against you."

Adam moved his neck and casually retorted. Rock and roll couldn't save his life!

"Impossible!"

Emtt looked disbelieving.

"Don't believe ?"

Adam curled his lip. "Go to the city and take a look. Who's doing better, the rock and rollers or the nerds? After a youth of indulgence, all that's left is a ss."

"..."

Emtt was taken aback, then muttered with a sullen face, "Damn, you're right."

"Actually, there's no need to separate them so clearly."

Juno said, "You have to study, and you can also play rock and roll. The two are not opposed; on the contrary, they can promote each other. A simple question, Adam, besides rock and roll, what other extracurricular activities do you have? Football? Basketball?"

"Uh."

Adam shook his head repeatedly.

He valued his studies the most now. The rest of his ti was spent doing good deeds. Where did he have ti for anything else? Besides, his strength and speed were only average, not even excellent, and he didn't have an advantage in sports. Therefore, he didn't have the idea of using sports to add points for himself.

"That's it."

Juno reminded him, "Universities, especially top universities, consider excellent grades as just a stepping stone. To stand out among so many outstanding applicants, extracurricular activities and talents that demonstrate leadership take up a large proportion. You don't play football, basketball, or participate in star clubs like Model UN. How will you prove yourself then?"

"Leadership?"

Adam frowned. "Isn't that optional?"

Sheldon, Leonard, and the others didn't have any extracurricular leadership, and they were terrible at sports, but they still got into the best universities.

"Of course it's not mandatory."

Juno nodded. "But the premise is that your grades must be outstanding, dazzlingly outstanding, such as winning dals in various large-scale science competitions. Can you do that?"

"..."

Adam was silent for a long ti, then said seriously, "Let's talk about how playing rock and roll can demonstrate leadership."
