48 Hours a Day - Chapter 1437: Courage 5
Chen fan looked at the alarm clock on his bed. There were still three hours until eleven o’clock.
Then, he took out his phone and used Gao de to navigate to the foot massage club called Shu Dao Qing. He was surprised to find that the place was actually very close to his neighborhood, only two kilometers away, it was less than twenty minutes’walk.
This was good news for Chen Fan. After all, this was the place he would go every month in the future. As a high school student, he did not have any private means of transportation, although he could take the bus, but if it was too late at night, there was a high chance that he would not be able to take the bus. As for taking a taxi… his monthly allowance was only so small, so he had to save it.
So it was better to walk. Walking was the most environmentally friendly.
In any case, if he did not have enough money, most of the games would start with the protagonist running around the village on two legs with only a pair of underpants. Chen fan comforted himself this way, however, traffic was not the most difficult problem he was facing at the moment.
His real problem now was actually — how to get out of the house.
As everyone knew, high school students did not fully enjoy their personal freedom, let alone a “Good”child like Chen fan who had always been obedient and never caused trouble. If he wanted to leave his residence in the middle of the night, there were only two ways, either he sneaked out when his parents were not paying attention, or he had to make up some lie to get his parents’consent.

Because Chen Fan’s parents both had to go to work, they usually slept very early. However, no matter how early it was, they would not go to bed until eleven o’clock. During this period of time before going to bed, they would basically spend their time in the living room, watching variety shows, and playing with their phones, if they waited for them to wash up and return to the house before going out, it would obviously be too late. Moreover, there was no guarantee that the two of them would be able to fall asleep as soon as they touched the pillow. At that time, as long as Chen fan opened the door slightly louder, they would most likely go out to check.
It seemed that if they wanted to sneak out, they could only choose the second path. However, Chen Fan himself was the one who knew his own matters the best. He was the kind of person who could not help but blush when he lied. Moreover, he would not be able to control himself from touching his ears and biting his lips, in short, he could show all of his guilty actions. Moreover, he had been holding it in for so long and still could not come up with a reliable reason.
Chen fan hugged his head and felt a wave of despair. was he going to become the first player in history to be killed by the organizing committee because he could not reach the game point on time?
No, no, no, he couldn’t give up just like that. There had to be another way.
Chen fan took a deep breath. If Zhang Heng was here, what would he do?
Fine, Zhang Heng had wings, so he could fly out. He couldn’t use this method, but what about other methods?
Chen fan seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He rushed to his desk, pushed open the window, and looked down. Then, he silently closed the window.
Chen fan lived in a residential area with 16 floors. Chen Fan’s house was on the 10th floor. Initially, he wanted to see if he could use his climbing skills to climb down from the window like Zhang Heng, but he didn’t have any climbing skills, even if Zhang Heng’s climbing skills were given to him, he wouldn’t dare to climb down just like that, because just one look was enough to make his legs go weak.
Not to mention, the distance between the windowsill and the windowsill was almost two times his height, and the landing spot was pitifully narrow. Chen fan reckoned that if he really climbed down, he would die on the spot if he was lucky, if he wasn’t lucky… he would probably end up paralyzed in a high position and spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Just as Chen Fan was overwhelmed and at a loss for what to do, he didn’t expect the goddess of fate to favor him for the first time.
There was a knock on the door.
Chen fan hurriedly hid the envelope and the blind box under the bed before opening the door. He saw his father and mother standing outside his door, dressed neatly.
“I just received a notice that something has happened at the office. I have to go and take care of it,”his father said.
Chen Fan’s mouth opened wide when he heard that. However, before he could speak, his mother continued to say, “Your grandmother’s water pipe burst. Although I’ve already asked someone to fix it, she’s alone at home now. I plan to go over and take a look. It’ll probably be very late by the time I get back, so you’ll have to stay at home alone from now on. Do your homework well and go to bed after you’re done. Don’t play with the computer.”
“Ah… Oh Oh, okay.”Chen fan was stunned for half a second before he reacted. He tried hard to control the joy on his face and hurriedly agreed.
He did not expect that the biggest problem that troubled him would be solved so easily.
This was too much of a coincidence. It just so happened that his father had an emergency at work and his mother was going to his grandmother’s house. This way, when they left, Chen fan could walk out of the door calmly.
However, before that, Chen fan still had to do some preparatory work. He made the quilt look like someone was lying in it. This way, when his parents came back, if they wanted to take a look, they would not be exposed. Of course.., if he turned on the lights, there would be nowhere to hide. However, he still had school tomorrow, so normally, his parents wouldn’t wake him up for no reason.
Other than that, Chen fan also made some preparations for the first dungeon he was going to face. According to the novel’s description, most dungeons couldn’t be entered with anything other than game props, however, Chen fan still brought a small knife and a lighter with him.
He imitated Zhang Heng and changed into his sportswear and sneakers. He covered half of his face with a hood. Chen fan looked at himself in the mirror and felt that he looked quite like him.
At ten o’clock, Chen fan turned off the lights in his room and closed the door. He hesitated for a moment but did not lock it. He felt that this action was a little guilty, and it might arouse their suspicion when his parents came back, he felt that he was playing games inside, or doing some small games that boys his age might do.
Then, he took the keys that belonged to him and left the neighborhood.
After 10:00 pm, the streets were obviously much quieter. Chen Fan’s place was in the old city district. The atmosphere of life was strong, but the level of business was average. When it got dark, except for the supermarket.., most of the shops along the street were closed, so there was no nightlife.
There were not many pedestrians and cars on the street. After taking two steps, Chen fan could not help but regret it.
Although the hooded sportswear was very handsome and allowed him to play Zhang Heng’s role as the main character, the cold autumn wind still made him feel a chill.
If I had known earlier, I would have put on a jacket.
With this thought in mind, Chen fan passed by a barbecue stall and saw a middle-aged man dressed like an office worker drinking beer and eating skewers. The plate of grilled squid that had just been served in front of him was still steaming, the golden squid whiskers sizzled with cumin and chili. It was a crime in the middle of the night.
“Do you want a bunch?”
Just as Chen fan swallowed his saliva and was about to look away and continue walking forward, the middle-aged office worker suddenly raised his head and grinned at him.
