The reward from the Feather of the Specter League was like "the golden monkey swings his cudgel, and the jade universe clears the sky for thousands of miles." Plus, he was a famous list owner on Qidian, so many readers came to worship him and ask for his pendant.
The Feather of the Specter League, whose gender was unknown, kept his promise. He added Pi's novel to his Qidian No.1 book list, and the effect was immediate. Followers quickly found out that a new book was added to the list, and it was a new book with fewer words. They all rushed to the book review and comments section, asking others if the book was worth reading. Naturally, the posts that slandered Pi were suppressed.
Zhang Zian entered the author's platform, deleted all the slandering posts, and banned the posters. Finally, the book review and comments section was peaceful.
The power of this big shot's book list was terrifying. Zhang Zian and Pi watched the number of collections increase to a new level, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
Pi happily started writing the new chapter for the day, but it still refreshed the comment section every half an hour, just in case the fog came again.
Bang bang!
Someone was knocking on the shutter door downstairs.
Needless to say, it must be Lu Yiyun who came to work so early.
Zhang Zian had been working on Pi's novel since he got up. He didn't brush his hair, wash his face, or do any cleaning work. He ran downstairs, opened the shutter door to let her in, and started cleaning. As for his hair and face, no one would look at it anyway.
A lithe and vigorous figure quickly ran past the shop, and a black-and-white Tricolor Beagle followed her closely with its tongue sticking out. It ran happily.
When they passed the glass door of the pet shop, Masanori Suzuhara and Zhang Zian looked at each other. She nodded at him as a greeting, and the next second, her figure was blocked by the door frame and wall.
Almost every day, she would run past the store twice. Those who lived nearby and got up early were used to the reflective stripes on her sportswear and sneakers, but very few people knew that she was actually a short-term exchange student from Japan.
Zhang Zian walked to the door and looked in the direction she ran. Not only did he see the reflective strip on her back, but he also saw the customers lining up in front of Li's Supreme Snack Bar. There were people lining up so early just to have breakfast and play with cats. It seemed that Uncle Li's business was really good.
After a while, Wang Qian and Li Kun came to work happily. They had been informed yesterday that because of their heroic deeds, they would be able to get a scholarship for the next semester. To them, it was like a pie falling from the sky. They had gotten a windfall without even knowing it.
Zhang Zian stood at the door and stopped them from entering. He pointed in the direction of the farmer's market and said, "Go to the fireworks and firecrackers store over there and buy some. Buy more."
The two of them looked at each other and asked, "Master, are you going to … set off firecrackers?"
Nowadays, there were very few people in the city who still set off firecrackers during the New Year. If they wanted to set off firecrackers, they had to go to the suburbs, which was very troublesome. They didn't expect Zhang Zian to still have a child's heart.
"Don't talk nonsense. Just go." Zhang Zian waved his hand to drive them away.
This was the elfins' first Spring Festival since they came to Binhai City. He planned to let them have a more traditional New Year's memory. Speaking of traditional New Year's, it was necessary to have fireworks.
Of course, for environmental protection and safety reasons, firecrackers were prohibited in the city. If they wanted to set off firecrackers, they could only go to the suburbs. However, he had already thought of a good place to set off firecrackers — the police dog nursing home run by Fu Tao. Firecrackers were definitely not prohibited near the rural area.
The ten retired police dogs had been living there for a while. Although they had not been put to use after being bought by the crew, they were still considered members of the crew. He planned to take this opportunity to visit them and see how they were doing.
The main members of the Dog Warrior crew, including Director Feng Xuan, were either busy with the special effects editing and production process, or were shooting new films with other crews. The rest of them were at home celebrating the New Year with their wives and children. Except for Zhang Zian, no one stayed in Binhai City, so the task of visiting the dogs fell on him.
The crew provided Fu Tao with the living expenses for the ten police dogs. Zhang Zian needed to represent the crew to check if the living expenses were actually paid for and not paid into Fu Tao's pocket. After all, they had signed a foster care agreement.
Most importantly, if the ten police dogs were starving, the crew would not have the face to put a line of subtitles at the end of the movie saying, "All the animals that appeared in this film have been properly settled." They would not be able to live with their conscience. Feng Xuan and his wife both attached great importance to this matter. They asked Zhang Zian to make some time to go there, and to do a surprise attack without notifying Fu Tao in advance, so that he wouldn't be able to see the real situation.
Going to the police dog nursing home this time could not only complete the task given by Feng Xuan, but also let the elfins see the fireworks in the sky. It was killing two birds with one stone.
The only problem was … when would he go?
Fu Tao would be there at all times. The police dog nursing home couldn't leave him, so he could go anytime. However, Pi couldn't leave the pet shop yet. If it couldn't see the fireworks, it would be a pity. It would have to wait another year.
No matter what, he had to buy the fireworks first. If it didn't work, he could only take the other elfins there.
After sending Wang Qian and Li Kun away, Zhang Zian cleaned the shop alone. When the cleaning work was over, he looked at the time and saw that it was already past nine in the morning. Today was a working day, so the editor of Qidian should be at work. He leaned against the door frame, took out his phone, and poked the bald monk's profile picture.
Every editor was in charge of hundreds of authors, so they were very busy all day. Zhang Zian normally wouldn't disturb them, but today was a special case.
He told the bald monk what had happened as concisely as possible, then sent it to the editor and waited anxiously for the other party's response.
Zhang Zian thought it would take at least a few minutes, but the bald monk's reply came quickly. "Got it. Don't worry about it. Keep updating."
Although the message was short, it was very clear that he supported Zhang Zian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said, "Don't worry about it."
Zhang Zian was relieved. Just as he was about to take back his phone, the other party sent him another message. "Get ready. The fireworks will be available on New Year's Eve."
Huh?
Zhang Zian was suddenly confused.
Today was the Lunar New Year. The fireworks would be available on New Year's Eve, which meant that it would be less than a week before the fireworks went on sale!
He originally estimated that he would have to wait at least two or three weeks for the fireworks to go on sale. How could it be so soon?
