Lin Che, the top student in his grade at No. 1 High School, believes that “everything can be quantified.” The one exception is Honor of Kings, the game taking the whole school by storm, which he considers beneath him.

Amid the skepticism, he goes from class tournaments to leading the school team to victory, proving with his results that “when top students play games, overwhelming the competition is the norm.”
