48 Hours a Day Chapter 637 – New Email

Chapter 637 New Email

In retrospect, the life of the vast majority of people in college was not that exciting.

Every corner of the campus exuded the gross scent of love, where couples publicly displayed their affection everywhere. The classic scenes of romance novels were brought to life here every night. The president of the student union and the heads of various clubs were in high spirits, organizing various activities. However, the buzz couldn’t conceal the fact that most people were single. The only three places that they could go were the dormitory, canteen, and classroom, either attending classes or having fun with their roommates.

It was as if the city was an exciting place, but it had nothing to do with most people.

After graduation, they would soon realize that they actually didn’t do much during their time in college. Life on campus didn’t feel so monotonous and boring, though. Even if the students were bored, there was always someone around to spend time with them.

It was not until they entered society, that they realized the familiar avatars in their friend list on a random game hadn’t come online for a long time. The online game that they used to play together had now been replaced by other online games.

This specific breed of loneliness was probably called growing up…

Those, however, were the things that they had to consider in the future. For now, the four, still in their sophomore year, felt like college life would never end.

Today, the film club was slated to play a Quentin classic in the small auditoriumDjango Unchained. After a meal, Chen Huadong dragged Zhang Heng and Wei Jiangyang to watch the movie together in flip-flops. They paid two yuan each before entering the auditorium.

Although they came twenty minutes before the movie started, many were already seated. The first few rows of seats were either occupied or reserved.

Chen Huadong did not rush to find a seat. Instead, he looked around him and saw many pretty girls. Some of them came with boyfriends, meaning he wouldn’t have to chance to talk to them. Others sat alongside their roommate or friends…

Chen Huadong was one who lacked guts. After struggling for a long time, he saw many pretty girls, but he had no courage to make a move to sit beside one of them. After all, there were still so many empty seats in the auditorium. If he went ahead and sat beside a gorgeous one, everyone would find out his true intention.

“Over the top. I think they are over the top. It doesn’t match my calm and mature temperament.” Chen Huadong shook his head and chose one of the seats in the middle row. However, he made sure to explore the possibility of sitting next to some of the girls that came late. Hence, he picked a seat where both of his sides were still empty. If what he imagined came true, he could only blame it on fate.

Wei Jiangyang sat on his left side, while Zhang Heng sat near the aisle. Wei Jiangyang then said, “Master Chen, if you continue to act like this, I am afraid that you’ll be single for the rest of your four years in college.”

“Show me what to do in this situation then?”

nted at Wei Jiangyang, “Sit right there?”

“It’s inappropriate. This trick can only be used by Young Master Zhang. I’m afraid that the ordinary people of my generation will be unable to master it,” Wei Jiangyang shook his head.

“That’s not enough. In the end, one’s look is still the most important factor to attract girls,” Chen Huadong sneered. “If I were blessed with a handsome face, I wouldn’t worry about where I should sit. I could sit wherever I want, and the girls would automatically flock to me.” “That makes sense.”

Chen Huadong’s wishful thinking eventually fell through. In the end, the seats in the auditorium were not fully occupied. A boy sat next to him, though, and the two silently looked at each other, glimpsing a touch of loneliness in each other’s eyes.

“Why do men make another man suffer?” Wei Jiangyang said.

Similar things were happening everywhere in the auditorium. This was the age where hormones raged. However, bashfulness got the better of them, and it was causing both the boys and girls to be too embarrassed to take the first step. Everyone was waiting for the signal to make up for the next ninety-nine steps. Yet, no one was willing to take the most critical step-the first.

As such, a love story would not be born here. Seeing that the auditorium was full, the film club stopped letting people in and began the movie began to play. The students’ commotion calmed down as well, as the crowd started to immerse themselves in the film.

The bounty hunter Schultz, pretending to be a dentist, brought the black man called Django to hunt down their target, and their enemies outnumbered them. When Chen Huadong saw that, he commented, “Quentin is a legend. The scenes are pretty explicit. How did the film club members get their hands on the uncensored version? I want to be a bounty hunter now. I envy their lives so much! They ride their horses everywhere to bring down the scales of justice, and they were paid to do that. Life can’t get any better than that.”

“Hey, wasn’t your dream moving to Japan to be a porn director?” Wei Jiangyang asked.

Zhang Heng, on the other side, shook his head. “It’s not that simple being a bounty hunter. The risks outweigh the benefits. The west is vast, and people have to endure extreme heat all the time. No one can work as a bounty hunter forever. If you possess the skills for that, it would be better to move into a small town and become their sheriff.”

“Pfft. You make it sound like you’ve worked as a bounty hunter before,” Chen Huadong rolled his eyes.

The movie was rather lengthy. The North American version was 165 minutes in total, which was almost three hours. The movie started at seven in the evening, and only ended around ten. When the ending credits started rolling, students started to leave the auditorium one after another while discussing the movie they had just watched. Chen Huadong felt that the dentist was too impulsive, and thanks to his inability to let go of his grudge, he was killed in the end. It was really not worth it. As for Wei Jiangyang, he was interested in the explicit scenes. With a newfound interest in Quentin Tarantino, he decided to binge-watch the “Kill Bill” trilogy.

After the movie, Zhang Heng discovered that he had received a new email.

After looking at the sender, Zhang Heng realized that the inevitable had come.

It was an email from the game committee.

Its contents told about the proxy war that was bound to happen in a week. At the same time, other agents in various places had also received the same email. Zhang Heng found a secluded corner and opened up the mail to read it.

The organizing committee first congratulated Zhang Heng for entering the second stage of the game and announced the time and general rules.

The rules were almost the same as before. It was still quest-based, but the new quests were no longer the ones where the player needed to master their skills and search for game items. They would now be more inclined to a level system. And these quests would be more dangerous and unpredictable—they adopted the elimination system, their purpose similar to what the old man in Tang suit told him. They were carried out to rank all the agents, and the final winner stood to get a mysterious gift prepared by the organizing committee.
