1111 Let’s Go (2/2)

His employees could now stand on their own feet. Even if Zhang Zian weren't around, they wouldn't create trouble for him. Instead, they were looking forward to Zhang Zian leaving—since he had already silently agreed to reduce their workload, allowing them to go out and have some fun on the sea, to watch some whales.

”Oh, right—during the period when I'm away, take note of the dog poisoning cases in the area,” he said. ”Be especially careful not to let the dogs in our shop get poisoned.”

They told him that they'd take note.

There wasn't much left to remind them of, and Zhang Zian went upstairs to pack.

On the second floor, all of the elfins were there with varying levels of excitement for this Egypt trip.

Richard was constantly squawking away, preparing to show off his skills speaking Arabic in Egypt.

”Gah gah! Have you prepared my holy carriage?”

The holy carriage he was referring to was actually just a birdcage covered in a white sash. The cage wasn't big, but it had had its door uninstalled so the occupant could go in and out of its own will.

Zhang Zian didn't bother answering him and asked Snowy Lionet a very important question. ”Have you considered whether you want to shave your fur short?”

Snowy Lionet bared her teeth and admitted dryly, ”I'd like to be by Her Majesty's side at all times, but I can't bear to part with my fur…”

Fina shook its head. ”It's okay. You can stay here. It's just for a few days.”

Zhang Zian said, ”If you really do want to go, and yet you're unwilling to shave your fur, then there is a way to meet in the middle. We can leave you in the phone during the day, and when we are in a cool sheltered area, we'll let you out. What do you think?”

Snowy Lionet had no way around it and could only accept this less-than-ideal plan.

”Pi, I'm packing now. Turn off the computer and get ready to go,” seeing that Pi was still typing away, he reminded.

”Cheep cheep?”

Pi gestured to ask whether he was going along, a little surprised.

”It's best to come along as well. You can type in the hotel after we arrive. It won't affect your uploading process,” Zhang Zian tried to convince it. ”Traveling a thousand miles is better than reading a thousand books. Don't shut yourself in. Even though you can get information for everything under the sun in books, it's still best to use your eyes to see, use your ears to hear, and use your own body to experience things. All these are more genuine than what the books tell you. Don't you agree?”

”Cheep-chee—”

Pi hesitated a little, but it was eventually convinced. It nodded its head before saving its incomplete file, turning the laptop off, and passing the laptop to Zhang Zian along with the charger so that he could pack it into his luggage.

Actually, Zhang Zian had convinced Pi to come along with him because the last time Pi was left in the shop alone, the whole fiasco with the Holy Cat statue disappearing had happened. He was worried for Pi back then and decided that no matter where they went, he would always try to bring Pi with him.

Without the Holy Cat statue, it wasn't that there was no chance of a Holy Dog statue or something popping up again. Egyptians were known for how much they loved dogs as well. He'd seen a wall painting before where an Egyptian man had fed his beloved dog water mouth-to-mouth just because there wasn't a cup for it.

Plus, Anubis had a jackal's head and a human body. The jackal wasn't a wolf, but a wild canine that foraged for rotten food in cemeteries.

”Alright, if there's nothing else, do your final preparations. We're moving out!”
