"Hey, have you guys heard? There was a senior at the media company who lied to the girls that she had an internship at a big company. When she arrived, she found out that she was drinking with the girls, and some of them were even forced to take nude photos. Her roommates saw her sleeping on the bed last night, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye. "
"I heard about it too. The incident shocked all the girls in Block 2. Everyone searched the entire campus, but they couldn't find her. Later, the police station called the school and asked the school's leaders to deal with it. I heard that someone leaked all the dirt on her to the police. Two of the photos looked like they were taken right in front of them, but the people in the photos didn't seem to be able to see what was happening in front of them. It's just too creepy."
"Speaking of creepy, isn't Wumart's 12 o 'clock legend scarier?"
"What 12 o 'clock legend?"
"Don't you guys know about it? It's a hot topic on the school forum. The nearest Wumart to the library would lose a bottle of Nescafe at 12 o 'clock every Monday and Wednesday night, and the cashier would find an extra 4.5 yuan. This incident scared the hell out of the two cashiers at the supermarket. When they checked the surveillance cameras, they found out that the coffee on the shelves had suddenly disappeared, and no one could be seen on the screen."
"Wow, I'm getting goosebumps now that you've mentioned it."
A few chattering girls walked past Zhang Heng, who was fiddling with a Sony SLR that he had just bought.
Ever since he discovered that he had an extra 24 hours a day a month ago, he had done a lot of experiments and basically mastered this ability.
He just happened to run into that senior at the media company, and it was just a small test of his abilities.
In theory, if he was ready, he could even start World War III.
Of course, doing so wouldn't do him any good.
Other than that, he could also carry a fire axe and swagger through the streets and smash all the ATMs. He should be able to quickly become one of the top 100 richest people in the city. Or he could just steal one yuan from everyone's wallet and use the least amount of influence to quickly obtain more than 20 million yuan.
But for now, he didn't need to do so.
For a second-year student, thirty thousand yuan a year was enough for his living expenses. He had nowhere to spend more than that.
His family did not need his support, not to mention his parents who were doing scientific research abroad. His grandfather, on the other hand, was one of the first batch of university students after the National College Entrance Examination was reinstated in 77. After graduation, he became a senior engineer in a national water conservancy project. After retirement, he had a pension and a nursing home with a yard. He grew vegetables and played chess. He was quite satisfied with his current life.
After familiarizing himself with his abilities, he did not need to break the law if he wanted to make money.
For example, the photography club that he had recently applied to was going to have a photography competition next month with the theme of urban impressions. The senior in charge of outreach had gotten a good sponsor, and the prize for the first place was five thousand yuan and a Canon.

For the wide-angle zoom lens, the second and third place winners would also receive a prize of three thousand yuan.
Zhang Heng joined the photography club late, so he had only attended two classes and one lecture. He mainly relied on the videos he found online and self-taught. His progress was only at composition and exposure.
However, his models couldn't help but cooperate with him. For ordinary photographers, these fleeting and wonderful moments were something that could only be encountered by chance. However, in the next 24 hours, Zhang Heng saw them everywhere. Those still images did not even need any embellishments, and they were already moving enough.
Even though Zhang Heng's technique was still very rusty, and he had no clue about color temperature or depth of field, under his lens, the city had a strange charm.
Zhang Heng picked two photos that he was satisfied with from his evening photography collection and sent them to the club to register for the competition.
He did not necessarily want to win the prize, but he mainly wanted to test his progress during this period.
Since a month ago, when he discovered that he had an extra twenty-four hours a day, Zhang Heng did not relax. Instead, he became even busier.
In the beginning, he mainly wanted to conduct various tests. For example, would things that he touched always break out of the time stop state, or would they return to static after a certain period of time? Also, how far was the effective range of the time stop, and whether it was limited to this city? For this reason, he bought a plane ticket on Saturday to fly a thousand miles away …
Most of these questions were answered during the experiment. As for the rest that were difficult to verify, he did not have a good solution for the time being.
After that, he had to think about how to allocate the extra 24 hours.
First of all, sleep was necessary. 00: 00 was supposed to be the time to sleep.
When he first experienced this kind of thing, he could wander around the city for a whole day out of curiosity. But after he got used to it, he could no longer do so.
In the 24 hours after everyone stopped moving, only the time on his wrist continued to pass. At the same time, his various physiological needs were also objectively present. He still felt hungry, thirsty, sleepy, and tired after a long period of activity as usual.
"Interesting. Does this mean that I age twice as fast as ordinary people?" Zhang Heng looked at the person in the mirror thoughtfully. However, he was afraid that he would not get the answer to this question in the short term.
In short, after solving the problems of eating and sleeping, he had about 14 hours left. The extra time was enough for him to do a lot of things.
For example, reading. Perhaps due to the influence of his parents who studied theology, he had always been interested in all kinds of strange knowledge. In the past, due to time constraints, he could only read one book a week. Now, he made a new arrangement and spent an extra six hours on Mondays and Wednesdays to read.
The bright and spacious library had become his exclusive area. He did not need to reserve a seat in advance, and there were no strange neighbors. He could even walk between the bookshelves in his pajamas and slippers.
An interesting book and a cup of cold coffee would make for a pleasant time.
Other than that, Zhang Heng also picked up the rock climbing hobby that he had abandoned after getting his card. He also added photography to his list of hobbies. He went to class during his normal time, and after that, he would practice and consolidate what he had learned in his own time.
In addition, he had been practicing archery. Every week, his coach would be amazed by the speed of his progress. He even hoped that he would seriously consider the possibility of developing in this area.
Of course, Zhang Heng's favorite activity was to wander around the city at night. Basically, he would spend at least two hours wandering outside every day.
Countless secrets were hidden in the metropolis at night.
With the help of the frozen time sections and the Sony camera in his hand, Zhang Heng silently observed and recorded every corner of the city. It was like watching a stop-motion short film. Most of the time, he was just a quiet bystander. Occasionally, he would make a move to change the plot that he didn't like.
