48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng left the matter of the mole to Karina. He had not closed his eyes since the return of the Cold Raven, so he waited until the matter was closed, and after the statement that he and Honig were jointly guarding the fortress was issued as agreed, he and Annie went back to their place of residence and remedied.

Open your eyes again, it's dusk time.

Zhang Heng looked at the red-haired girl who was still asleep beside her eyes. The latter's sleeping posture was extremely dishonest, with one foot and one hand resting on him. She still had saliva in her mouth. The key and most magical part was that Annie put her foot on Zhang Heng's chest, while her hand rested on Zhang Heng's thigh.

Zhang Heng had no idea how she unconsciously twisted herself in her sleep.

And the red-haired girl couldn't hold her legs. Zhang Heng only woke up when she kicked her chin.

Zhang Heng spent some time slowly removing the latter's legs and hands, trying not to wake Annie up, but he obviously worried too much that the red-haired girl always had a good sleep quality and could sleep even if someone banged on her ear.

On the other hand, however, she has the same acute sense of smell as a beast about danger.

Even in her sleep, she can open her eyes at the first moment as long as she is in danger.

Zhang Heng doesn't know how to explain this phenomenon, but can only attribute this behavior to instinct. Annie has a natural wildness.

What the red-haired girl said to him that night reminded him of the little fox in The Little Prince.

Little foxes are still willing to be domesticated because they love little princes, knowing that goodbye will come, just because it wants to think of the color of little prince's hair when it sees the wheat fields.

Zhang Heng picked up his coat from the side of the chair and put it on Annie with his hands. Then he walked downstairs naked, went to his own small vegetable garden and pulled out some green vegetables, and dug out some potatoes. During that time, he saw the little girl from the neighbor's house again. Zhang Heng picked up some cactus fruit for the latter.

Zhang Heng had not eaten this kind of food before this round. As the name suggests, this is the fruit of the cactus. It originated in North and South America. It is usually grown on the top of the cactus. The skin is covered with barbs. When eating it, you need to cut off the tail first, then cut the skin open, and then pick out the octagonal prick inside.

It tastes... It's sour and sweet. It's a little strange when I first ate it. I'm told those Indians love this kind of fruit and will use it for medication.

Turns out the little girl ran off before he walked by, like a few times before.

Zhang Heng doesn't care either. The parents of girls of this age often teach them not to touch strangers.

Zhang Heng took the cactus fruits and vegetables back to the living room. He preferred to eat the fruit meat raw, smashing it and mixing it with honey flush.

By the time Annie got out of bed, Zhang Heng had already cooked dinner and spilled salt on the roasted fish.

Life in the 18th century is not as interesting as that of future generations. There are no phones, no computers, even few books. Especially after every voyage, there is a lot of mental stress accumulated, and everyone has a way to relieve the stress.

Like Annie can stay comfortable by fighting, Billy likes to stay with his family, and Zhang Heng has his own way to adjust his mood. Managing that small vegetable garden and cooking are his two favorite ways to relax.

The former is a hobby he developed during the first round of replicas, when he was alone on a deserted island, in addition to the need for survival, constantly finding something to do to maintain his spiritual uplift, renovating the expanding vegetable garden not only brings him points, but he also gets satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

Watching the seeds thrive and eventually bear fruit, the process itself is healing.

Cooking is the same thing.

Unfortunately, the pace of life in modern society is getting faster, and fewer and fewer people are doing things like this that require energy and quiet minds to harvest happiness.

Instead, he is now a pirate in the Caribbean, and he has more time to spend on the trivial things of life.

Because of the unprecedented length of this game, Zhang Heng is already counting on learning something else after knife art and sailing to LV2. Language is his first choice. After several rounds of games, he has fully recognized the importance of language. Communication is definitely one of the most important skills of humankind. In the copy of the Mannheim defense line, he ate a lot of language incomprehensible losses.

Although he now masters two foreign languages (he only knows a few words in Finnish) he has surpassed the vast majority of ordinary people, it is clear that some of them are not sufficient because of the uncertainty of each round of copies.

At this point, the strength of the team is evident, at least one foreign language per person can choose to specialize in, so that a team of six can master six foreign languages.

A solo player like Zhang Heng is on his own, but good thing he has plenty of time. Zhang Heng has planned to use this decade to learn French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Latin again, at least to communicate and understand the text.

If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, it should have been the last glory of Latin at the beginning of the 18th century. As the official language of the Holy See, it has dominated the European countries since the first century BC. At that time, the status of French and Italian Spanish was probably equivalent to that of local dialects.

But with the fall of the Holy See, the national awakening brought about by the renaissance of literature, Latin gradually lost its international status until only one country in the Vatican remained in use in the modern world.

Of course, there is still a lot of difference between language at this time and future generations, but basic communication should be fine.

…………

Zhang Heng was still waiting for Black Prince Sam to recommend him to the island's council, but was surprised to receive a systematic prompt the next morning for the completion of the main task.

After removing a few suspicious factors by way of exclusion, the most likely thing left was that Billy had just completed another batch of recruits, and the crew on the Cold Crow exceeded seventy. Zhang Heng did not realize that this so-called criterion for building power on the island was simply a number requirement.

It seems that he thought about the problem too complicated before, combined with the normal game time of one year, which is really more in line with the actual goal, but now that he has reached this point, Zhang Heng does not intend to give up. After all, he will stay in the world for almost another 10 years, which is what Zhang Heng is preparing for today.

Whether joining parliament, supporting Karina against the Black Business Coalition, or choosing to alliance with Honig to help Laeri, he is also laying the groundwork for himself.
