48 Hours a Day

"You want to play another round of the game?"Gaime raised his eyebrows. "But the proxy war has ended, and the game has been closed by the organizing committee."

"But you're the god of the game, so you should have a way to restart it, right?"

"That game is the most outstanding work I've made so far. No, strictly speaking, it's not my work alone. It's the result of the joint efforts of a group of gods. In order to build that almost real game world, everyone has contributed,"Gaime said, finally, he decided not to stand on ceremony anymore. He changed the topic and nodded.

"Yes, you're right. Even so, I can still restart it. However, it will consume a lot of my energy. Normally, it's fine. I basically just stay at home and play games. It doesn't matter how much energy I have, but Cthulhu will wake up from its underwater palace and use your body to descend into this world. Although I don't like to meddle in other people's business, I can't watch him destroy the world."

"I won't let him destroy the world,"Zhang Heng said.

"How confident are you?"

"40% ,"Zhang Heng said after some thought.

"40% isn't a number that people can trust."Gaime sighed.

"Or you can choose to kill me now. If you succeed, you'll have a 100% chance,"Zhang Heng said calmly.

Gaime shook his head, "This goes against the game style that I've always advocated. If everyone's first choice when facing a high-difficulty game is to cheat and take shortcuts, then naturally, they won't be able to fully enjoy the joy of conquering the game."

Zhang Heng was not surprised by this answer. This was one of the reasons why he had made up his mind to look for Gaime. Zhang Heng had long realized that the god of games had always placed more importance on the game process than the game results.

Therefore, during the three weeks of endless journey, when Zhang Heng decided to give up on the pursuit of a perfect ending, he was able to meet Gaime again in this small fishing village.

As expected, the game God before him did not hesitate for long before reaching out a hand. "Forty percent then. Since you've chosen the game route, enjoy the fun of the strategy."

"I will."Zhang Heng shook hands with Gaime. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. This is the game compensation I promised you."Gaime waved his hand. Then, he paused and asked, "Have you decided what Dungeon You Want to go to? I can help you with that too."

"No need. I've already chosen a dungeon,"Zhang Heng said. "I only have one request. No matter what era the dungeon is in, I want a working computer in it."

Gaime looked at Zhang Heng after hearing this weird suggestion. Then, without further question, he picked up the GBA in his hand again, "Your eleventh round of the game will start at 11:55 pm tonight. Be prepared in advance."

..

After turning off the ps4pro, Zhang Heng looked at the starfish in his hand. There was less than 15 minutes left until 11:55 pm. He stood up to stretch his wrists and ankles.

Then, he walked to his travel bag and took out a USB flash drive.

[ name: Edward's USB flash drive ]

[ rarity: F ]

[ function: when plugged into the computer, your IP can never be traced ]

This USB flash drive was a small gadget that Zhang Heng had obtained from the leakers'dungeon. It was only of F grade. Although its function was still quite useful, it had always been the icing on the cake. Before this, it had not appeared much, however, this time, Zhang Heng put it into his pocket first.

Following that, Zhang Heng took out some small items that were relatively small and easy to carry. As for the battle-type items that he had always relied on, such as [ Parris's arrow ] , [ hidden scabbard ] , and [ plague bone bow ] .., zhang Heng didn't take any of them.

This was because Zhang Heng knew very well that Kronos must be somewhere nearby, keeping an eye on him. Zhang Heng didn't want Kronos to know that he had entered this round of the game.

The next item he took out was the [ immunity crystal ] . This d-grade item had two uses left. Zhang Heng hadn't used it since he tried it out, so he could save it for tonight, it would help him get through tonight's nightmare. This way, he wouldn't be plagued by nightmares in the next dungeon, and he would be able to focus on the game.

The last thing Zhang Heng took out was a pen.

This pen was given to him by a bearded man who looked like Conan Doyle in the deduction dungeon. However, after the appraisal, it turned out that it was not a prop.

However, this time, Zhang Heng chose to carry this pen with him when he entered the dungeon.

At 11:49, Zhang Heng made all the preparations. Lying on the bed, he fell asleep as usual. Then, the nightmare attacked him, but immediately after, the [ immunity crystal ] in his hand emitted a soft white light, it wrapped around his soul and floated all the way to a white room.

However, this time, Zhang Heng did not stay in the white room for too long. Soon, the familiar feeling of dizziness came over him.

..

Zhang Heng knew that he had guessed correctly when he heard the system notification. The pen had played its role, but the contents of the dungeon still surprised him. Zhang Heng originally thought that he would meet Conan Doyle with a mustache, zhang Heng had already planned to follow him to hone his writing skills. However, when he really heard the dungeon's description, he realized that this dungeon was even more lively than he had imagined.

However, it would be even more difficult to clear the dungeon.
