Chapter 16: Morning Exercises

Another beautiful morning.
”No. 9 Broadcast Exercise Series, let’s begin. Walk in place… Go!”
”Stretching—ready… Go!”
In front of the store, Zhang Zian connected his bluetooth speaker to his cell phone, performing the exercises while listening to music.
Next to the glass entrance door squatted a black and white kitten, curiously observing his movements: stretching, kicking, bending, jumping...
The pedestrians passing by were staring at him as well.
”Chest exercises… One, two, three, four...”
Exercising was not just a sudden idea Zhang Zian had; he had known his body was too weak after he chased that street cat a few days ago. If he didn’t begin to work out, he would probably be weaker than those seniors who worked out in the park every morning.
Right now, he was interested in the game ”Pet Hunter.” Were there any more poor pets like Galaxy, suffering unimaginable lives alone in an endless life cycle in that database? If so, he wanted to rescue them all.
This game tested the players IQ and knowledge base, but basic physical strength was essential too.
He had asked the navigation elf and it said that the appearance locations of the pets were unpredictable. Some would stay where they were and transform into mythical creatures, and some would wander around aimlessly; it mostly depended on their features and backgrounds.
Without an observer, Schroginger’s Quantum Cat, Galaxy, stayed in an unpredictable random probability status. That is to say, it could be anywhere on earth or even at the end of the universe, such that it was one of the ”most uncatchable pets.” The probability of it being picked from the lottery was infinitely small.
The lottery was a kind of observation as well, so the probability function converged to ”Chosen” or ”Not Chosen.”
”Obtaining Galaxy was the luckiest thing, even if that was all the luck in my life,” Zhang Zian thought.
He never expected Galaxy to bring him any luck. He only wished that it could stay with him forever.
”Kicking… One… Two… Three… Four...”
”Mr. Manager, what are you doing?”
He knew it was the girl that visited the little hamster by hearing her steps. He didn’t even need to turn around.
Today was Monday. She hadn’t come over the weekend.
”See, I am doing exercises. Do you want to join me?”
”Uh...” The girl hesitated, looking back and forth between the store and Zhang Zian. Time was pretty tight in the morning, so she didn’t want to waste any of her hamster-playing time.
”Do you know why there is a rolling wheel in the cage? Because life is movement! The little hamster works out every day!” Zhang Zian said with a grin.
”All right, I will do it!” The girl put aside her backpack, followed Zhang Zian, and started exercising too.
”Turning… One… Two… Three… Four...”
Zhang Zian was a little proud of his intelligence, as now people were staring not just at him, but at the two of them. ”How clever I am!”
”Cooling down… One… Two… Three… Four… Five… Six… Seven… Stop!”
”Well done! Give me five! Yeah!” Zhang Zian felt quite relaxed.
Without realizing what happened, the little girl gave him a high five and picked up her backpack. Then she entered store to play with the hamster.
