Xiao Daidzhao

Growing up with eccentric materialistic parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.

48 Hours a Day

"Oh, you people are playing this game..."

The checked baggage from first-class were the first to come rolling out on the conveyor belt, which was why Ponytail returned to them reasonably quickly. He saw Zhang Heng holding the game console in his hand and smiled. "This is a traditional game of 01. What is our highest score again?" he asked.

"697216 points," Little Boy spelled out the numbers sternly, "Philip won it. This is not fair. He's a piano player, and his fingers can surely move faster than ordinary people. My best score is very close to him, though."

"I can't do it anymore. I keep comin in last. The speed of my fingers and eyesight are not my forte," Ponytail said, "My best record is only 200,000 points, but fortunately, I have Semiprime with me. Luke has played piano before as well. He might be able to challenge Philip's score."
