48 Hours a Day

Thursday afternoon is Zhang Heng's legal time.

At this time of the week, he usually doesn't give himself any job, but rather finds a place where he likes to spend his whole life.

This could be a park, a temple, a museum… or, of course, a maid's cafe, as it is today.

Without taking other factors into account, the latter is clearly a triumph in terms of eye level alone.

So this is also the most visited place when Zhang Hengfa was stuck.

“A taboo love, and a plate of brother. Not today. Oh, thank you.” Zhang Heng lit a serious book and didn't know what the hell it was.

“Good master, wait a minute.” The little maid with the cat's ears crossed her hands and held the tray in front of her chest in a gentle tone.

Professional! Zhang Heng thumbs up in his heart. The maids in this store are part-time college students from nearby schools. They have a reputation in the house circle.

In contrast, the owner of the maid's cafe in Chunxi Road was very dishonest, invited a group of 30-40 year-old aunts to count. He also tried to fight in person when he was said to be understaffed, and lagged behind the nerves of every customer in the store with thick leg wool. Instead of eating there, he was punished there.

While waiting for dinner, Zhang Heng randomly drew a copy of "The Spirit of the Trident" from the surrounding shelf. He just turned over two pages and heard a voice coming from his ear.

“Unfortunately, I still prefer his earlier work. ”

Zhang Heng looked up and discovered that sometime there was a stranger opposite him. At that time, a short old man in a Tang suit with a small hat and tie looked strange to him.

The maid caught his eye in the cafeteria.

Zhang Heng picked out his eyebrows, "Uncle Zoe Jun? He was a [beep] cartoonist. ”

“It seems that my memories have not deceived me.” The old man cracked his mouth and revealed his yellow teeth. "How was the last month? Zhang Heng, are you satisfied with my little gift? Don't worry, that thing you're worried about doesn't exist, it's an extra gift for 24 hours and won't be deducted from your life. ”

“Was it you who moved on me?” It must be acknowledged that the success of each other's opening remarks attracted Zhang Heng's attention.

“It's not easy for me to do this right now, but who wants you to be the one I value, I always have to give you a gift, don't I?” The old man reached out and grabbed the taboo love directly from the tray. He frightened the little maid who had just walked by. The latter looked at Zhang Heng and asked him if he needed to call the police.

Zhang Heng shook his head gently.

“I won't take advantage of you and you'll still be able to drink your drinks after we talk.” The old man mumbled a little hard to understand, then he said, “Now, let's get right to the point, I'm satisfied with your performance over the course of the month. Now that the trial period has passed, it's time to talk about getting right. ”

“Correct conditions? ”

“Yeah, in short, I need you to help me win the next game, which in itself brings you a huge reward, and in addition, you can continue to use that little gift I gave you. ”

Seeing Zhang Heng seemed to open his mouth to say something, the old man waved his hand, “I know your family situation, money is not that tempting to you, not to mention it's easy to really want money after having this ability, but trust me, what this game can bring you will be far more than you can imagine. ”

“What game?” Zhang Heng asked.

“In the distant past we used war to settle disputes, simple and effective, for God's sake, I miss those bloody good old days, but times have been evolving, and civilized societies should no longer use those barbaric and primitive means, should they not? ”

The old man drank all the taboo love in his hand, “So now we use the game to decide to win or lose. After all, it's that nasty guy sitting on the throne right now, restricted by those ancient agreements, I can't divulge the contents of the game to you in advance. Technically, our meeting is also forbidden, but don't worry, this little trouble can still be solved. ”

“If this game is so important, why don't you join it yourself? ”

“As I said before, by some ancient covenant, we can't do it ourselves. You're like my agent. I put the chips on you. You win, I win, you lose, I lose. The two of us are like grasshoppers on a rope, but my luck is not good, and the final ranking of recent games is not good. ”

The old man sighed, “As you can see, I'm getting weaker and weaker too, so this time I decided to bet early, although it's also a big risk, after all, you could be eliminated halfway. ”

“Who the hell are you? ”

Zhang Heng's brother couldn't today. Oh, he was also served. It's a baked, spotty cookie. The colour looks suspicious.

“For now, you can think of me as your investor and partner, and for the future, there's only one thing I can tell you —— the longer you hold out in this game, the closer you get to the truth about the world. Well, we don't have much time. Now, tell me your answer. ”

Zhang Hengwang told the old man's eyes, the other party just made a long series of statements that sounded like a second speech, but the atmosphere of the maid's cafe was quite suitable, but by being able to shout out the name Zhang Heng and know what was happening to him, I'm afraid some funny guys in this outfit are not joking, and Zhang Heng must admit that the other party's gift is really useful.

It also made him interested in what they said about the game, so Zhang Heng said a moment later, “Sounds interesting, how do I participate? ”

“It's simple, let me see which game point is closest to your school...” The old man pulled a Xiaomi phone out of Tang's pocket and opened the Baidu map a few times, “Desire City Bar, Game Point 137, tonight at 11: 00, you won't regret your decision. ”

“Oh, I almost forgot.” The old man reaches out one hand, "the last step is to make a covenant, shake hands and you will be mine. ”

“It is also important not to use such vaguely bad language, which I have already begun to regret.” Zhang Heng also extended his right hand.

With both hands in hand, Zhang Heng felt that he was touching a rock that was cold and hard.

The old man seemed excited, “Watch out for other guys' agents, but you shouldn't be able to meet them in the early days of the game, and whatever happens, you must make sure you stay alive first. ”

“Wait, will this game still kill people?” Zhang Heng's eyelids jumped.

“No, it's just dying in the game. If it's true, it should disappear. Not only will your body disappear, but all your memories will disappear, as if they never existed at all. I know a guy who happens to be good at this.” The old man used to go out and remember to buy a bag of salt with a flat mouth.

“ ………… ”

Zhang Heng wanted to say something else, but his eyes suddenly lost sight of the old man. The next moment, he lost sight of the old man.

Not far away, the little maid was walking this way with a dark red drink and smiling revealed two lovely little tiger teeth.

“Master, please enjoy your taboo love ~”
