After Zhang Heng got the starfish watch, the time of the day changed from 24 hours to 48 hours. Every time it reached zero, he would enter the still world on time no matter where he was. This happened a month after he got the watch. It has been verified many times.
And when he stepped into this mysterious game a month later, the law of time on his body was still working. The extra 24 hours would also be converted according to the time flow rate of the current copy and accumulated into his game time. inside.
But the premise is that he is always playing the game alone.
From an unnamed desert island on the equator to the Caribbean in the 18th century, Zhang Heng had only one player in the entire instance in the first four rounds of the game. It was not until this Apollo training camp that he was unexpectedly matched with six other players. player.
Therefore, Zhang Heng didn't know what would happen when the starfish in his hand reached the zero point. He had always chosen solo queue before to avoid such a situation.
Zhang Heng entered the dungeon at 11:55 in the middle of the night as usual, only five minutes before midnight. According to the flow rate of the dungeon, these five minutes are 20 hours, and now it is almost 20 hours since he entered the dungeon. He The starfish on my hand is about to point to the zero point.
Zhang Heng told the trainer next to him that he wanted to go to the bathroom. The trainer reminded him that he could actually use the urine bag provided with the space suit to get used to the feeling of peeing in space in advance.
Zhang Heng expressed his gratitude for the suggestion, but still insisted on going to the bathroom. No matter what would happen then, he did not want to carry this 70-pound piece of equipment, so the trainer could only spend another fifteen minutes helping him put it on his body. Take off that spacesuit.
After Zhang Heng took his right leg out of the spacesuit, he looked at the starfish in his hand. It was less than half a minute before the zero point in the real world. He also noticed that Zhen Xi, not far away, had been secretly peeking at him. , even the fat man next to Zhen Suo kept peeking at him.
However, Zhang Heng had no time to pay attention to such things for the time being. When Starfish's second hand pointed to 24 o'clock, everyone in the training room stopped moving in the next second, and the expressions on their faces completely froze, and the world turned into a huge wax museum.
This is also the result that is most in line with Zhang Heng's speculation. He has done tests with PC games before. According to the contact recovery principle, he can run stand-alone games on the computer during stationary time, but games that require an Internet connection cannot.
Although it cannot be explained scientifically, the mysterious game he is currently participating in is still essentially just a game. Therefore, the copies that only belonged to him before can still run in the static world, but his game time has been extended, and After joining other players, the game became online, and when it reached zero o'clock, it stopped along with the world.
But before Zhang Heng could do anything, he received another system prompt in his ear.
【alarm! ! ! alarm! ! ! An exception occurred in the target copy! Serious time error! 】
[Error reporting...]
[Second-level permissions are enabled, the review failed, suspected player cheating was detected, and emergency plans have been initiated...]
[Open a parallel copy. This copy is a transitional copy of the Apollo Project training camp. The number of players is 1, the mission goal is nil, and the time is 240 days. Players please pay attention]
Zhang Heng frowned, and the next moment the Beatles' "Yesterday" automatically played in his ears, and at the same time, his eyes suddenly fell into darkness again.
This is not the kind of darkness in a room where the lights are turned off, but the kind of darkness where nothing can be seen without all light sources.
Zhang Heng has only encountered this kind of situation every time when he first logs in to the game. It allows him to focus all his attention on the system prompts next to his ears. This is the first time that it has appeared in the middle of the game. It is a bit like It is reloading in online games.
Fortunately, the darkness did not last long. Zhang Heng opened his eyes again when Paul McCartney sang "The past comes to mind...".
He is no longer in the NASA training room, and there are no other players around him.
In fact, he was now standing on a huge runway, with the roar of aircraft engines in his ears and a jet flying over his head.
Zhang Heng saw a blond beauty waving to him not far away, looking a little anxious, "Jim doesn't like newcomers running around. If you've seen enough, let's leave quickly. The people in the laboratory are still waiting."
"Laboratory?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the other students in your school have already passed, and you are the only one left." The blonde beauty said, "And... can you get off the runway first? Otherwise, it will be terrible if the person in charge of the airport sees you. .”
"Sorry." Zhang Heng walked off the runway. He didn't want to compete with the plane to see whose head was stronger. He had encountered the dungeon alarm once before. It was in the novice dungeon that the law of time on him took effect for the first time. , also triggered the copy alarm, but after the secondary authority started, the review was reported and canceled, and the error was permanently removed from the judgment sequence.
Zhang Heng once guessed that this was related to the mysterious old man in Tang suit. Since the latter chose him to participate in the game, he must have known what would happen. The so-called secondary authority was obviously designed to deal with this kind of thing, but in the multiplayer copy For some unknown reason, the secondary authority failed, and the game system determined that he was suspected of cheating.
In a sense, this is not a false accusation.
Because in the static world, he is the only one who can move. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is invincible. Shen Xixi and her team are helpless against monsters like Zavircha. However, in the static world, Zhang Heng can only use A utility knife easily takes care of this threat.
In the same way, he doesn't need to expend much effort to deal with the other six players.
The system was obviously aware of this. In order to protect other players, it temporarily opened a transitional dungeon and threw him in. Because the process was so rushed that this dungeon didn't even set any tasks, but Zhang Heng didn't know if the dungeon itself was like Su. What's the danger in Finnish war like that, so he asked the blonde beauty, "What time is it now?"
"Time? Well, 10:35." The blonde beauty looked at the watch on her hand.
"Where's the date?"
"February 12th."
"Which year is it from?"
"Are you kidding? Of course it's 1955." The blonde beauty said, "Hey, I don't know if you MIT students like to use weird actions to show off, but I need to remind you that if we do it again If you are late, your internship at the Glenn Research Center will be cancelled.”
