September, the school year began.
Xu Duchong, a sophomore at Jiangcheng University's School of Automation, was not in high spirits.
He had partied too hard at the beginning of his freshman year, which led to his failing three courses during the final exams in June; the red lights flashed, and his summer was restless.
Fortunately, he scraped by on his retakes. As for his GPA, well, he didn't want to talk about it now.
On Friday night, the dorm lights stayed on; his three roommates went to the internet café to team up and "deliver packages for APEX." Xu Duchong didn't join, mainly because he was being watched by the counselor. If he was caught frequenting internet cafes, his parents might be notified.
Of course, there was another reason: they only needed three players for the team, so an extra person would only be left to watch from the sidelines.
