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

In order to make time for his upcoming Greenland trip, Zhang Heng didn't have much rest this time. After meeting Han Lu to discuss the financing, he returned to the game's checkpoint the next day.

At this time, the school was basically on vacation. The number of students in the bar had obviously increased, and the air was filled with the scent of hormones. Zhang Heng squeezed through the crowd and came to the iron ladder. He showed the player number on his arm before he walked up.

When he pushed the door open, he saw the bartender sitting behind the bar counter, as usual, paddling and playing NS. When she saw Zhang Heng, she raised her eyes slightly. "You're here?"

The two acted as if the incident on the Red Island had never happened. From the beginning to the end, Zhang Heng had never questioned why the bartender was there, and the latter had no intention of explaining at all.
