Zhang Zian thought New Year's would be more relaxing, but the kittens kept him busy. He spent most of his time around the kittens and the two mothers.
The Crucian Carp that Snowy brought over was very helpful. After eating the Crucian Carp stew, the mothers had been lactating a lot more, almost enough for all the kittens.
Out of her fondness for the kittens, she did her best to come over to help every day. Even if she couldn't make it, she would still send the Crucian Carps over. She said that they were all caught by an older friend.
With her help, Zhang Zian's burden was relieved a little. Now that the holidays were over, he expected Wang Qian and Li Kun, to come back to work.
Feng Xuan was satisfied with the report and photos he had sent. He told him that the demo film of Dog Warrior had been officially submitted to the committee of Berlin Film Festival, and it had been approved by the screening committee to be a candidate for the competition. It was hard to tell whether the statement at the end of the film was useful or not. However, as Feng Xuan had said the committee greatly appreciated how they treated the animals in the crew.
Zhang Zian had seen some reports on the Dog Warrior movie in the entertainment news. However, since there weren't any superstars in the movie, it didn't gain much attention. There were more reports on another Chinese detective film, which was also participating in the competition. The director of that film was well-known, and it had famous actors.
Famous was more concerned with the film's progress, and asking Zhang Zian about it a few times a day.
Zhang Zian always told it any updates as soon as he found out, but he also reminded it to lower its expectations. After all, the Berlin Film Festival was the first major film festival of the new year, and there were strong candidates.
Pi's novel was progressing well and rising rapidly. It was second place on the Monthly Power Ranking List for the New Arrivals, which was the same as getting a free recommendation. The author in first place was huge and had been famous for a long time ago.
In the morning, after Zhang Zian had tended to the mothers and the kittens, he sat next to Pi with a cup of hot tea, watching it write.
After the second upgrade, Pi was typing faster and more accurately. Sometimes it still typed the string of numbers, but it no longer felt puzzled or ashamed. It just simply the deleted it with a grin on its face.
Zhang Zian wasn't good at writing. Even so, he still noticed that after the upgrade, Pi wasn't just writing faster, it was getting better.
As Pi had said in the past, its novel wasn't entirely based on Zhang Zian and the elfins, it was 70% real and 30% fiction. The real part was easy. The imaginary parts gave Pi a headache.
After the upgrade, Pi got better at writing the fiction plots. It no longer needed to wrack its brain all day. Now, it had free time to play and interact with the its fans.
Pi typed the last few words, then it scratched its head in satisfaction. It had been writing ever since it woke up and it had just finished one chapter.
”Eek?” It looked at Zhang Zian expectantly, meaning, ”Shall we play hide-and-seek with Galaxy and the others?”
Pi was gradually blending in with the other elfins. Sometimes, when it finished writing early, it would voluntarily ask to join the other elfins' games.
Zhang Zian smiled, about to say yes,when his phone rang. He unlocked his phone and saw a message from the biggest reading list owner on Qidian, Feather of the Chief Specter.
He raised his tea cup and said, ”Pi, Galaxy and I are fine. However, hide-and-seek is less fun when there is less people. You can go downstairs and wake Famous up. Try to get it to join the game. I'll come down to look for you after my cup of tea.”
”Eek!” Pi nodded. It removed its glasses and placed it on its book, then ran downstairs.
There were no customers right now, so it didn't need to worry about being seen.
After sending it away, Zhang Zian opened the message.
