Chapter 4: A Little Trial

"Hey, have you heard? Earlier, a senior senior sister from the media lied to the lower grade girls that there was an opportunity for an internship in a big company, only to find out that they were accompanying wine when they got there, and some were forced to take nude photos. Last night, her roommate clearly saw her sleeping on the bed, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"I also heard that this incident alarmed the girls in Building 2. Everyone searched the campus but couldn't find it. Later, the police station called the school and asked the school leaders to deal with it. I heard that someone brought her All the black materials were handed over to the police, and there are two photos in them, which are the same as those taken in front of them, but the eyes and expressions of the people above seem to be unable to see the camera in front of them, which is really evil."

"Speaking of the 12 o'clock legend of Wumart Supermarket, it's even scarier, right?"

"What 12 o'clock legend?"

"Don't you know, this matter has already exploded on the school forum. The Wumart supermarket closest to the library will definitely lose a bottle of Nescafé at 12 o'clock every Monday and Wednesday night, but there will be no coffee in the cashier. Four yuan and five more money came out, which frightened the two cashier aunts in the supermarket enough, and when I adjusted the surveillance, I found that the coffee on the shelf had suddenly disappeared, and no one could be found on the screen."

"Wow, I got goosebumps when I heard you say that."

A few chattering girls passed by Zhang Heng, who was playing with a Sony micro-single that he had just bought.

He has done a lot of experiments and has basically mastered this ability since he discovered that he had 24 more hours in his day a month ago.

He just happened to encounter the matter of the senior senior sister in the media, and he tried it out.

Theoretically speaking, he could even start a third world war if he was prepared properly.

Of course, doing so would not do him any good.

In addition, he can also take a fire axe to the streets, smash all the ATM machines, and should soon be among the top 100 richest people in the city, or steal it directly from everyone's wallet For one dollar, you can quickly get more than 20 million yuan with the least impact method.

But for now, he has no need for this for the time being.

For a sophomore, 30,000 yuan per year is enough for living expenses, and he has nowhere to spend any more.

The family doesn’t need his support, not to mention the parents who are reluctant to do scientific research abroad. My grandfather was the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977. After graduation, he became a senior engineer of a national water conservancy project and retired. I have a pension and a retirement house with a yard. I grow vegetables and play chess. I am quite satisfied with my current life.

And after getting familiar with his own abilities, Zhang Heng really doesn't need to break the law if he really wants to make money.

For example, the photography club he recently applied for will have a photo contest with the theme of city impressions next month. The senior in charge of outreach has won a good sponsorship. The first place prize is 5,000 yuan, plus a Canon ( Canon) EF 17-40mm f/4L USM wide-angle zoom lens, the second and third place also have 3,000 yuan bonus and prizes.

Zhang Heng started late, and only attended two classes and one lecture in the photography club. He mainly relied on videos found on the Internet and self-study. The progress has just arrived at composition and exposure.

However, he couldn't stand the cooperation of his models. For ordinary photographers, the fleeting wonderful moments can be seen everywhere in Zhang Heng's last 24 hours. Those still light and shadows don't even need any modification. to be attractive enough.

Even though Zhang Heng's technique is still jerky and he is confused about color temperature and depth of field, under his lens, the city has a strange charm.

Zhang Heng selected two satisfactory ones from his evening photography collection and sent them to the club to sign up for the competition.

He didn't necessarily have to win the award, but mainly wanted to test his progress during this period.

Since he found out a month ago that he has an extra 24 hours a day, Zhang Heng has not only not relaxed, but has been busier.

In the early days, it was mainly for various tests, such as whether the things he touched would keep coming out of the time-stop state, or would they return to stillness after leaving him for a certain period of time? Another example is how far is the effective range of this kind of stop, is it limited to this city? For this reason, he bought a ticket to fly a thousand miles away on Saturday...

For questions like this, most of them have been answered in experiments, and he has no good solution for the remaining ones that are difficult to verify.

Then it is time to consider how to allocate the extra 24 hours.

First of all, sleep is necessary. Originally, 00:00 is the time to sleep.

The first time he experienced this kind of thing, he could support him wandering around the city all day out of curiosity, but after getting used to it, it would not work.

In the 24 hours after everyone was still, only the time on his wrist was still passing, and at the same time his various physiological needs also existed objectively, he would still feel hungry, thirsty as usual, Drowsiness and exhaustion after prolonged activity.

"Interesting, does this also mean that my aging rate is twice as fast as ordinary people?" Zhang Heng looked at the man in the mirror thoughtfully, but he probably won't get the answer to this question in the short term.

In short, after solving the problem of eating and sleeping, he still has about 14 hours left, and the extra time is enough for him to do a lot of things.

For example, reading, perhaps influenced by the theological parents, he has always been interested in all kinds of strange knowledge. Before because of time constraints, he could only read one book a week, and now he has remade To make arrangements, set aside an additional six hours of reading time on Mondays and Wednesdays.

The bright and empty library has become his exclusive area, there is no need to occupy a seat in advance, and there is no weird neighbor seat, and he can even walk through the bookshelves in pajamas and slippers.

A fun book, paired with a cup of iced coffee, can make for a good time.

In addition, Zhang Heng also picked up the rock climbing that he left behind after finishing the card, and added a new hobby of photography to his list. He went to class during normal time to study, and then he would work on his own. Practice over time to consolidate what you have learned.

In addition, the archery that he has been practicing recently has not fallen. The coach in charge of him marvels at the speed of his progress every week, and even hopes that he will seriously consider the possibility of developing in this area.

Of course, Zhang Heng's favorite activity is the city night tour. Basically, he spends at least two hours wandering outside every day.

There are countless secrets hidden in the late-night metropolis.

With the help of those frozen time profiles and the Sony camera in his hand, Zhang Heng silently observes and records every corner of the city, just like browsing a series of stop-motion short films. Most of the time he is just a quiet bystander. , but occasionally change some plots that I don't like.

These changes have nothing to do with good or evil. Zhang Heng is not interested in playing the role of God or the devil, he is just enjoying the moment that belongs to him.

I'm curious, what would you do if you had an extra 24 hours a day?
