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

During the 30-minute break, Zhang Heng stood up to stretch his body. However, he did not go to the side to get any food or drinks. He just walked around the corridor and returned to his seat, the uncle on his left, who was in a hurry, was the first to rush out to make a phone call as soon as the first round of bidding ended.

Previously, Zhang Heng could still hear him cursing and swearing in the corridor. It seemed like a project was not going well. Initially, they had agreed that the project would be under the name of some company, but who would have thought that after winning the bid, the other side would suddenly turn hostile, a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars had gone down the drain just like that. Anyone else would have been in hot water.

On the other hand, the sailor girl on the right was still there. When she saw Zhang Heng sit down, she grabbed a bubble gum from her pocket and handed it to him. She asked, "Ultraman, do you want some?"
