Chapter 601: Correcting Mistakes


Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Uncle Li couldn't understand what Fina and Snowy Lionet were saying . He just thought that Fina's movements were interesting, so he told everyone that he knew cats could knead . When Fina stopped pressing on the dough, Uncle Li wished that he'd recorded it on his cell phone .

Zhang Zian walked to the sink and saw several deep paw prints on the dough . He decided that this was a good opportunity to flatter Uncle Li, and he immediately beckoned for Uncle Li to come over .

"Uncle Li, look at this . " Zhang Zian pointed to the paw prints on the dough . "Your store has a new name now . Do you want a new logo too? How about using a paw print as your logo? When the dough hardens, get a mold and print the paw print next to 'Li's Supreme Snack Bar for Cat Fanciers . '"

Uncle Li was surprised . He thought that a sign would be enough for his small business, and a logo seemed unnecessary . However, since he felt like it was impolite to refuse Zhang Zian's idea, Uncle Li nodded to agree with him .

Zhang Zian didn't think the logo was unnecessary . Apart from adding a paw print to the sign, he also suggested that Uncle Li and Aunt Li print the paw print on their aprons or wearing a badge in the shape of one . If they took care of those things, Fina would train the cats from time to time, which would be significantly helpful for Uncle Li and Aunt Li .

Fina was obviously very satisfied by Zhang Zian's suggestions . Since this place was its Imperial Kitchen, it was good for Fina to leave its mark there .

Fina jumped off the table and majestically observed the kitchen, as if it was inspecting its own territory . Snowy Lionet also followed closely behind .

Zhang Zian lowered his voice and pointed to the dough . He said to Uncle Li, "Don't use paw prints from other cats . You must use the paw print from this dough for your logo . "

If Fina found out that the paw print on the logo wasn't the one it created, it would be furious .

Uncle Li nodded .

Zhang Zian said goodbye to Uncle Li, and took Fina and Snowy Lionet out of the kitchen .

The young girls in the dining area were still happily teasing the cats and taking selfies . They hadn't eaten much of the food they ordered . The girls had spent a long time in the restaurant, and Zhang Zian predicted that if their business was to keep improving, the future customers might need to wait in line to be seated .

"I wish I could hold those two cats," sighed the young girl admiringly, pointing at the arrogant Fina and Snowy Lionet as they walked past her .

"Yeah! They're so adorable!" The other girls echoed in agreeance .

"What kind of training have these two cats been through? How can they walk so obediently behind him?" Some of the girls wondered out loud .

Zhang Zian ignored them and left . He brought Fina and Snowy Lionet back to the pet shop along with everybodies lunch .

Staring at the computer screen too intently, Richard didn't notice Zhang Zain's arrival until he had already entered the door . It screamed and flapped its wings to fly away from the desk . Lu Yiyun switched the page on the computer, as if she was deliberately hiding something . She said, "The cards are already printed . The manufacturer said that the cards will be shipped today . "

"Okay . When the cards arrive, tell Wang Qian and Li Kun to put them up," said Zhang Zian .

"Meow! I'm exhausted! I want to eat! I want to sleep!" Snowy Lionet jumped onto the cat tree and desperately laid down .

Fina leapt to the top rack of the cat tree and laid down to relax in the sun .

Zhang Zian passed out the food to the elves and pets . He took his own lunch and went up to the second floor to check on Pi .

Pi was still sitting in front of the computer, typing . Whenever it encountered any problems, it would read the untitled book for reference .

"Pi, how many words have you written?" he asked with concern .

"Eeek…"

Pi lowered its head and covered its face in embarrassment . It had been too excited to concentrate . Its writing speed was much slower than usual and it had only written a few hundred words .

"It's okay . Stand up and get some exercise . " Zhang Zian understood its situations and comforted it .

Pi nodded .



"By the way, when will your novel be recommended by the Qidian website?" he asked .

Pi held up two fingers .

"2 o'clock?" Zhang Zian looked at the time . There was still about an hour until then .

Pi jumped off the chair and walked around the living room to stretch .

Zhang Zian sat down and opened the author platform on the Qidian website . He saw that nearly 1,000 readers had added Pi's novel into their libraries, and some readers were constantly leaving encouraging messages for Pi and voting to recommend its novel . He noticed that there was a new message in good faith .

[Dumplings]: This novel is well-written, though there are some typos at the beginning of the book that are distracting for the readers . It would be nice if the author fixed these errors .


Is that so?

Since Zhang Zian had actually experienced the scenes Pi wrote, he originally read through the novel quickly and didn't pay too much attention to the typos . Now that he was reminded by the reader, Zhang Zian thought that he should take this suggestion seriously .

He switched to the Word document that Pi had been using to write its novel and started to reread it word by word from the beginning .

Soon, he found that there were indeed a lot of typos, especially at the start of the book . Maybe Pi wasn't quite used to typing in Chinese back then .

In addition to typos, Pi also typed a number every few hundred words .

"3 . . . 1 . . . 4 . . . 1 . . . 5 . . . 9 . . . 2 . . . 6 . . . "

If the numbers were put together, they would form pi . Readers bothered by these unexplainable numbers might think that they possessed some profound implication . Zhang Zian hadn't figured out the meanings of these numbers . The only person who might understand them was Meng Li, who'd returned back to his hometown for the Lunar New Year . Since Zhang Zian wasn't particularly familiar with Meng Li and didn't have his phone number, he thought it would be awkward if he contacted him .

Maybe some readers gave up on reading Pi's novel because of the typos and the random numbers .



Pi walked around the room a few times and then went back to the computer to continue writing .

"Wait a minute, Pi . You didn't sleep well last night, did you? Go take a nap while I use the computer," he said .

Pi looked up and thought for a moment . It remembered that the computer had always been Zhang Zian's, and Pi had only been borrowing it .

Pi grew upset and felt guilty for hogging Zhang Zian's computer for so long .

"Eeek . " Pi tiredly nodded and jumped into the basket hammock chair .

"Sleep for a while," Zhang Zian urged . "Don't worry, you still have half a day to write . "

Lying in the chair, Pi closed its eyes . To block out the strong rays of noon sunlight, it pulled up the blanket to cover its head .

Though Pi was very sleepy, it couldn't fall asleep because of all its excitement . It was thinking about every comment, both encouragement and critique, left from its novel's readers .

After lying there for a while, it opened its eyes and quietly moved the blanket away from its face to see if Zhang Zian had finished using the computer . If he had, Pi wanted to continue writing its novel . In the past, Pi didn't have a fixed schedule to upload the completed chapters . It just uploaded whenever it had finished writing its chapters . Since some readers had asked about the specific time that the new chapters would be released everyday, Pi tried to upload its work more routinely .

Before, Pi felt hopeless when its novel had no readers . Now that its novel had attracted a large group of readers, Pi was even more anxious because it was afraid that it would fail these readers' expectations .

Since Zhang Zian was still using the computer, Pi grew a bit worried .

The hammock chair was very close to the desk . Pi could see that Zhang Zian was closely reading the chapters that it had already uploaded to the Qidian website .

Pi blinked in confusion, wondering what he was doing .

Too busy carefully examining every word and sentence, Zhang Zian didn't notice Pi's gaze from beneath the blanket . He was silently reading Pi's novel to correct the typos, modifying some awkward sentences, and making some too-formal dialogues sound more colloquial .

Fixing the typos was tedious work . Pi had written about 110,000 words . Zhang Zian needed to fix these 110,000 words before Pi's novel was recommended by the website, so that the novel would leave a better first impression on its new readers . This task might not have been the most important thing to focus on . After all, most people read web novels quickly and wouldn't notice the changes . However, currently, it was the only thing that Zhang Zian could do for Pi .

Pi finally realized what he was doing . As if the anxiety in its heart had been blown away by a gentle breeze, Pi suddenly felt calm .

When almost no one read its novel, Pi uploaded the chapters right away after it finished writing them without reviewing them for mistakes . Previously, some readers had mentioned the typos in its novel, but Pi ignored any comments that affected its good mood .

Now, Zhang Zian was helping it correct its mistakes .

Zhang Zian started to become more anxious . He wished he would have thought of fixing the typos in Pi's novel earlier . Soon, it would be two o'clock in the afternoon and Pi's novel would be officially recommended by the Qidian website . Zhang Zian tried his best to focus on every sentence as he read the computer screen .

As the sun moved silently across the sky, the shadow that the desk cast on the floor slowly became longer .

"Hoo!"

Zhang Zian felt relieved . He rubbed his face as he leaned against the back of his chair in exhaustion . He glanced at the time . He'd finally finished going over the typos and rewriting the awkward sentences in all of the chapters around 2:10 p . m .

He went back to the website's homepage, entered the section for Modern Novels, and found the title Pet King in the Popular Category, along with a concise introduction . "Catch a few magical pets as partners . "

If Zhang Zian was right, Pi was only competing with other new authors rather than the other already popular writers for the attention of new readers . Pi should be ready to pass the first round of tests .

Pi gently moved beneath the blanket .

"Pi, did you fall asleep? Get up quickly! Your novel is being recommended by the website . " Zhang Zian yawned, but was still excited .

"Eeek . "

Pi lifted the blanket and sat up . Putting its two palms together, Pi placed its hands next to one ear and signalled that it had slept very well .
