Zhang Heng discovered a month ago that he had 24 extra hours in his day.

The first thing that changed was his watch, which was a Starfish Automatic 3 mechanical watch produced by Tissot in Switzerland. It was given to him by his parents in Iceland on his eighteenth birthday.

I placed an order on Taobao very perfunctorily, and the seller shipped it, and the wrong class was filled in the address bar.

Zhang Heng was too lazy to complain about these two people. Before he graduated from elementary school, these two gods were already eager to pack up and fly to Europe to start a new life.

The two met at an academic exchange meeting. They are both theologians by profession. As their names suggest, they are experts in the study of religious mythology. Naturally, this profession is not easy to get along with in the great motherland where materialism reigns supreme.

However, unlike those swindlers, Zhang Heng's parents do have real materials. One of them is a graduate of Oxford University, specializing in Nordic and Greek mythology, and the other is a master's student at Durham University, focusing on Christian mythology. He has published several papers and is said to be quite influential in the industry.

As a result, I couldn’t survive after returning to China.

…………

It happened that Zhang's father's mentor took over a big project and was short of manpower. The two discussed it and left Zhang Heng to his grandfather, and then they started their research life all over the world.

After that, he would only return home once a year, so Zhang Heng spent his childhood with his grandfather.

Maybe they felt guilty, but the two gods did not owe the old and the young in terms of expenses.

Not counting tuition and accommodation fees, Zhang Hengnian's living expenses for a year at university are 30,000 yuan. It is not as good as those rich second generations who drive sports cars, but it is considered very good among ordinary students.

Back to the topic.

The thing about the watch is quite strange. When Zhang Heng woke up and subconsciously planned to check the time, he found that the scale on it changed from twelve to twenty-four.

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, then calmly put the watch back to its place, covered himself with quilt and continued to sleep.

As a result, an hour and a half later, I sent a text message to my bedmate, regretfully informing him that Gao Shu had been named.

Not a dream?

Zhang Heng spent ten minutes washing up, sitting at the desk under the bed, and turned on the computer.

He first went to Taobao and searched for double scale watches. The search results showed that - sorry, no relevant products were found.

So Zhang Heng deleted the words "tricky" at the end.

Still no matches.

Isn't it a prank?

Zhang Heng touched his chin. If you didn't take into account the inexplicable twelve extra scales, the time on the watch would be consistent with the time on the computer. After careful observation, Zhang Heng finally confirmed that this twenty-four scale watch was consistent with the time on the computer. The piece of starfish he had been carrying before was the same thing.

Including scratches on the bottom cover and wrinkles on the strap, these details will definitely not be known to anyone except him, the original owner.

Of course, we do not rule out some hard-core gamers who can restore the details accurately compared to the real thing, but who would have the skills and the spirit to go to the Forbidden City to do it just for a prank when they are full and have nothing to do? Are cultural relics bad?

To sum up, Zhang Heng knew that something was wrong with him.

Ordinary people would probably be frightened to death when encountering such supernatural phenomena, but Zhang Heng is not an ordinary person, and he has to thank his fairy parents for this.

Most parents would tell their children fairy tales about little rabbits and squirrels to put them to sleep, but these two did not waste their professional knowledge. When Zhang Heng was a child, he fell asleep listening to stories from Nordic mythology and the Bible.

Although he himself did not live up to the nine-year compulsory education and became a glorious materialist, the foundation he laid down in his childhood was still there.

Zhang Heng's ability to accept this kind of thing is much stronger than ordinary people.

To explain it using the concept in the now popular board game "Call of Cthulhu", that is, his character's sanity value decreases very slowly.

Rather than fear, he became more interested in what was happening to him.

There are twelve scales on a normal watch, and two revolutions of the hour hand on it represent how much time has passed in the day, but now his global limited edition of the twenty-four-scale star sea can complete a day with just one revolution.

From this point of view, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, and it even feels a little uncomfortable after getting used to it.

But Zhang Heng believed that whoever did all this would never be satisfied with just giving him a new dial.

Zhang Heng's intuition told him that really interesting things would probably not happen until the hour hand completed one circle.

There are about 15 hours left before the end of today, and Zhang Heng certainly doesn't intend to be idle during this period.

There is no need to go to the advanced mathematics class in the morning. Anyway, he has already been called on. According to the professor's rules, 5 points will be automatically deducted from the final exam score.

There is no way to save this wave.

Zhang Heng simply went to the playground to make up for what he missed during his morning run.

When talking about Zhang Henglai, classmates in the class thought he was quite awesome. No one was willing to get up early after going to college. Only this guy could persist in morning jogging. However, he was nowhere to be seen signing up for sports meets and rarely participated in other group activities. , especially doesn’t like parties, but if you get in contact with him, you will find that he is not as cold as he appears on the surface. On the contrary, this person is quite interesting.

There has been a rumor among girls that Zhang Heng is versatile. Some people who returned to school early during the holidays said that they saw him playing "Paganini Grand Exercise Bell" alone in the piano room. This is Liszt's work based on the Italian violinist Paganini. A piano solo adapted from the theme of "Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor". It is famous for its difficulty in playing. It is written in rondo form. Every time the theme appears, a new performance technique is used, which extremely tests the pianist's performance. Skill.

Some people also said that they met him training at the shooting gallery when they were outside school. According to the boys who slept with Zhang Heng, he seemed to be a member of a rock climbing club.

All of the above are facts, but none of them are facts.

Zhang Heng is actually not as evil as everyone says. He was forced to run in the morning by his grandfather. Once he got used to it, he never stopped. However, his speed and endurance are a little better than ordinary people, which is completely different from those specially recruited sports students. There's no comparison.

Shooting was something he started trying out on a whim recently, and he had only taken three lessons, which was barely considered a newbie. Rock climbing was one of those people whose enthusiasm waned after signing up to get a card, and they broke up peacefully.

The only piano he has been playing since he was a child, but his level is only around the eighth or ninth grade of an amateur. The song "Paganini Grand Practice Bell" was saved on his mobile phone and he played it in the piano room to listen to it. Unexpectedly, he came up with something Such a moth.

Therefore, Zhang Heng, who is not an ordinary person, is actually not that extraordinary.

He is very interested in many things around him, but time is fair to everyone.

Whether you are willing to cherish it or not, plan to use every minute effectively, or just want to lie in bed and eat salted fish, everyone only has 24 hours to allocate every day.

Not a minute more, not a second less.
