After Zhang Heng got the watch, his daily time changed from 24 hours to 48 hours. At midnight, no matter where he was, he would enter a static world on time. This had been verified many times in the month after he got the watch.
A month later, when he stepped into this mysterious game, the law of time was still in effect. The extra 24 hours would also be converted according to the current time flow of the current dungeon and accumulated into his game time.
But the premise was that he was always playing the game alone.
From the nameless island on the equator to the Caribbean Sea in the 18th century, Zhang Heng was the only player in the first four rounds of the game. It was not until the Apollo Project training camp that he was unexpectedly matched with six other players.
Therefore, Zhang Heng did not know what would happen when the watch reached midnight. He had always chosen to play alone to avoid such a situation.
As usual, Zhang Heng entered the dungeon at 11: 55 in the middle of the night, only five minutes to midnight. According to the time flow of the dungeon, these five minutes were equivalent to 20 hours. It had been almost 20 hours since he entered the dungeon, and the watch in his hand was about to reach midnight.
Zhang Heng told the trainer next to him that he wanted to go to the bathroom. The trainer kindly reminded him that he could actually use the urine bag provided by the spacesuit to get used to the feeling of peeing in space in advance.
Zhang Heng expressed his gratitude for the suggestion, but he still insisted on going to the bathroom. No matter what would happen, he did not want to carry the seventy-pound suit. So the trainer spent another fifteen minutes to help him take off the spacesuit.
After pulling his right leg out of the spacesuit, he looked at the starfish in his hand again. It was less than half a minute to midnight in the real world. He also noticed that Zhen Xiong, who was not far away, had been secretly peeping at him. Even Fatty, who was next to Zhen Xiong, kept peeping at him.
However, Zhang Heng did not have time to care about these things for the time being. When the second hand of the watch pointed to 24 o 'clock, everyone in the training room stopped what they were doing in the next second. The expressions on their faces were completely frozen, and the world had become a huge wax museum.
This was also the most consistent result with Zhang Heng's speculation. He had previously tested it with a PC game. According to the contact recovery principle, he could run single-player games on the computer during the static time. However, he couldn't play games that required an internet connection.
Although it could not be explained with science, the mysterious game he was now participating in was essentially just a game. Hence, the previous dungeons that belonged to him could still be run in the static world. It was just that his game time had been extended. After other players joined him, the game became connected to the internet, and when it reached midnight, it would stop along with the world.
Before Zhang Heng could do anything, he received another system notification.
[Warning!!! Warning!!! The target dungeon is abnormal! Serious time error!]
[Error reported …]
[Level 2 authorization activated, audit failed, suspected player cheating detected, emergency plan activated …]
[Parallel dungeon activated. This dungeon is the Apollo Program Training Camp Transition Dungeon. Number of players: 1. Mission objective: none. Duration: 240 days.
Zhang Heng frowned, and the next moment, the Beatles' "Yesterday" automatically played in his ears. At the same time, his vision suddenly fell into darkness again.
This wasn't the kind of darkness where the lights in a room were turned off. It was the kind of darkness where all light sources were deprived.
Zhang Heng had only encountered this kind of situation when he first logged into the game. It allowed him to focus all his attention on the system notification next to his ears. This was the first time it happened in the middle of the game. It was a bit like reloading an online game.
Fortunately, the darkness did not last too long. When Paul McCartney sang "The past comes to mind …" Zhang Heng opened his eyes again.
He was no longer in NASA's training room, and there were no other players around him.
In fact, he was now standing on a huge runway. The roar of aircraft engines filled his ears, and a jet flew over his head.
Zhang Heng saw a blonde beauty waving at him not far away, looking a little anxious. "Jim doesn't like newcomers running around. If you have seen enough, let's go. The people in the lab are still waiting."
"Lab?" Zhang Heng raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, the other students from your school have already gone there. You're the only one left," the blonde beauty said. "And … can you get off the runway first? If the person in charge of the airport sees you, we'll be in trouble."
"Sorry." Zhang Heng walked off the runway. He didn't want to compete with a plane to see whose head was tougher. He had encountered the dungeon alarm once before. It was in the novice dungeon. The first time the law of time came into effect, it triggered the dungeon alarm. However, after he activated Level Two authority, the audit was canceled, and the error was permanently removed from the judgment sequence.
Zhang Heng once guessed that it had something to do with the mysterious old man in the Tang suit. Since the old man chose him to participate in the game, he must know what was going to happen. The so-called Level Two authority was obviously meant to deal with such situations. However, for some reason, the Level Two authority failed, and the game system deemed him to be cheating.
In a sense, it wasn't exactly a false accusation.
In the still world, he was the only one who could move. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was invincible. Shen Xixi and her team were helpless against a monster like Zavilcha. In the still world, however, Zhang Heng easily dealt with the threat with a utility knife.
Similarly, it didn't take much effort for him to deal with the other six players.
The system obviously realized this, and to protect the other players, it temporarily opened a transitional dungeon and threw him into it. Since the process was so rushed, the dungeon didn't even have any missions. However, Zhang Heng didn't know if the dungeon itself was as dangerous as the Soviet-Finnish War. So, he asked the blonde beauty, "What time is it now?"
"Time? Hmm, 10: 35. "The blonde looked at the watch on her hand.
"What's the date?"
"February 12th."
"What year is it?"
"Are you kidding me? It's 1955, of course. " The blonde beauty said, "Hey, I don't know if you MIT students like to do weird things to show off, but I need to remind you that if we are late again, your internship at Glenn Research Center will be canceled."
