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

Zhang Heng had spent most of his pocket money on batteries and Florida Water. Before he started to work on the quest, he went online and bought a batch of books. The two then strolled into KFC. "Check out what you want to eat first. I'll make a call."

"Hmm." Bai Qing looked slightly uncomfortable. It was her first time going to KFC with a boy alone, and it felt strange to her.

Zhang Heng went to a corner and called Qin Zhen. Unfortunately, Qin Zhen was a bigger spender than him. The pocket money he had saved for two months had been spent on buying a pair of sneakers. It was the weekend now, and he had not gotten his pocket money yet.

After that, Zhang Heng contacted his grandfather. Much to his relief and surprise, grandpa wired him the pocket money in advance without asking any questions. Zhang Heng was relieved. When he returned to Bai Qing, he found that she had already paid for his meal.

"I ordered you a child's meal that comes with a toy."
