Chapter 551: Support

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the early morning, it was still dark. Zhang Zian was still the first one to wake up in the pet shop. To expand the space, the walls between the bedroom and the living room had been removed in the last renovation. From his single bed, he could see the basket hammock chair and the desk. Sitting up in bed, he found that Pi had not yet woken up. It was still crouching like a baby and sleeping in the basket hammock chair. Its pince-nez was placed on the desk. It only took off its glasses when it was asleep.

When it was wearing the glasses, Pi appeared to be somewhat precocious, and Zhang Zian often ignored its age. Without the glasses on its nose, Pi was clearly a young monkey. If it was a wild monkey, it may have just left its mother's back at this age and would have been trying to explore this strange and unknown world.

The single bed creaked gently with Zhang Zian's movements. Several elves were startled, but then they continued to sleep. Only Galaxy and Pi blinked and sat up, probably because they were both imaginative elves and they did not need too much sleep. As for Snowy Lionet, theoretically, this cat was also an imaginative elfin. But Zhang Zian suspected that something must have gone wrong, because Snowy Lionet kept sleeping all day long.

Pi jumped out of the hanging basket, put on its pince-nez, sat in the swivel chair, and opened the laptop eagerly.

After uploading the first chapter of a new novel, the author must face the review of the website regarding the new book. The review editor would check whether the content of the first chapter had the tendency for violating the regulations, such as forwarding the articles from the forums of the underworld gangs or publishing some contents that would incite people to commit crimes. But Pi's novel did not violate these two aspects, so there should be no problem in passing the review.

Zhang Zian knew that after turning off the lights last night, Pi had been staying up till very late. He heard that it was tossing and turning restlessly and rubbing the blankets in the basket hammock chair from time to time. It must have been waiting anxiously for the results of the review.

When the old computer finally opened, Pi entered its user-name and password into the platform for writers on the Chinese version of the Qidian Website. Sure enough, a short message sent by the website immediately popped up on the platform—Pet King has passed the review; we wish you enjoy your writing!

Zhang Zian also gave Pi a thumbs-up to encourage it. Anyhow, he hoped Pi could be happy.

Zhang Zian dressed up and got out of bed, but in the blink of an eye, Pi's face had turned gloomy. It was staring at the screen with its mouth half open. Zhang Zian did not know what had happened. He stepped lightly forward and drew a question mark on the desk with his finger to ask Pi.

The screen displayed the ”work management section” of the website. From this section, he could see some simple data of the novels and the pen name of the writers. At present, there was only one book under the pseudonym of Pi. And that very book was Pet King. Pi pointed at one column of the data for Zhang Zian to see.

Add to Library: 2

This number indicated that only two readers had noticed this book and put it in their library after the first chapter was published. One of the readers was Pi itself, and the other reader would probably be the review editor.

Zhang Zian understood why Pi was suddenly frustrated. To be honest, this result was what he had expected, so he typed on the computer to encourage it: It doesn't matter. Web novels usually have millions of words, if you are the readers, would you read the novel that only has one chapter? Keep going! Perseverance prevails!

His encouragement worked to some extent. Pi dredged up a smile and typed: Okay.

It was not convenient to write directly on the website. Pi took a deep breath and tried to forget about the fact that only two people had put its novel into their library. It opened the Word document and started writing the second chapter.
