12 Yingji University (1/2)
✰ Just before the Apocalypse. Shanghai. 9 am. ✰
Elsewhere, at Yingji University. The campus was famous: It boasted the most elite students in the entire region. The modern institution of China that was overflowing with life; in addition, the entire site of Yingji was crammed with students rushing to their course.
Tall infrastructures, grassy fields, large swimming pools, and the tinkling of blooming love. At an indoor basketball court, two teams were fiercely competing on the vast hardwood rectangular floor. On the sidelines, thousands of youthful university students were stridently cheering the players on.
Today, Liu Jun, the extremely handsome undergrad of Yingji, was currently battling with a neighboring campus. Previously, Yingji University had been insulted due to being 'pompous' elites who only read books. Of course, he would not take this insult lying down; therefore, he had sent an invitation of challenge to the basketball team of Lin University.
The familiar basketball court caused Liu Jun's heart to keenly beat in rivalry. Facing Lin's basketball team, he calmly bounced the ball. In the beginning, he had been nervous. But after the first half, he solely concentrated on winning!

Currently, the scoreboard was 78-80 to Lin University. Furthermore, it was nearing the end of the fourth quarter. Analyzing the position of his team, Liu Jun bit his lower lip. His entire team was exhausted; Yingji University lacked athletic students. On the court, there were no openings; therefore, he decided to act.
As the point guard, Liu Jun feinted moving into a passing stance. For the Yingji students enthusiastically watching the game, all of them grew restless. Standing up on their seats, the students observed the handsome, brown-haired undergrad suddenly twist his broad body to evade the defender.
Abruptly, Liu Jun swiftly backed into a fade-away shot, and two tall defenders turned sharply to block his shot. Jumping, the three figures seemed to be floating. Time seemed to freeze. But at the critical moment, he used his elbow to pass the ball to an open blonde teammate.
”Woosh.”
Nearing the final moments, Huang Dong's one shot would decide everything! Liu Jun was willing to play the percentages. His teammate was completely free, and he was more likely to make the shot than him! At this moment, he nervously watched his good friend take a shot before the three-point line.
The blonde Huang Dong smiled at his friend's pass. As his longtime friend, he knew that Liu Jun did not desire glory; instead, he simply did not want to be looked down on. Therefore, as his friend, he should not disappoint his good intentions! Still panting, he instantly went to shoot a 3-pointer.
”Swish!”
The two of them anxiously observed the basketball soar through the air. The entire game had built up to this single moment! Eventually, the red ball reached the basketball hoop. Shakily, Huang Dong witnessed the ball swirl a few times atop the rim.
”Swirl.” With the sound of the buzzer, for a brief moment, there was utter silence. In due course, the entire cohort of Yingji cheered and sprinted toward the blonde Huang Dong. 81-80, the shot had been made!
”Good job, Brother Dong.” Liu Jun grinned, and he bumped fists with his best friend. The blonde muscular man smiled back with two rows of white teeth. Finally, the game was over. They had done it! The honor of Yingji had been successfully defended; furthermore, the opposing campus was a top sports institution!
While the two were joyfully conversing, a large crowd rushed toward them. Suddenly, the blonde Huang Dong was lifted into a celebratory dance. At the same time, Liu Jun smiled, and he did not feel envious.
Calming his drowsiness, Liu Jun quietly went to retrieve his water bottle. But when he went to reach for his stainless-steel water bottle, a soft white hand brushed his palm. Looking up, he saw a beautiful brunette. Chuckling, he laughed, ”Ah Xue, we've done it.”
”Well done, Jun.” Qian Xue lovingly smiled. The two were childhood friends who had of late established their love for one another. While the beautiful couple embraced each other, a sudden thundering crash resonated.
”BOOM!”
Shocked, Liu Jun pulled his girlfriend into an even tighter embrace. Looking around, numerous white-colored portals had formed from nowhere. For good reason, he expected nothing decent to emerge. At the same time, his blonde friend, Huang Dong ran to his side.
”Brother Jun, what is this?” Huang Dong asked stunned. Leaving the crowd, the three observed the portals with uncertainty. A few seconds later, a few thick goblins arose from within. At another portal, a hoard of undead skeletons had walked out.
”I'm not sure.” Liu Jun replied with hesitation. Lights flashed out everywhere as a cold message resounded inside his head. {Initialized, player Liu Jun's status.}
