Pet King
chapter-543

Zhang Zian prepared a pot of tea and carried it downstairs to give it to Old Time Tea.

After the New Year's Day holiday, the pet shop seemed a bit quiet, which was normal. Students were currently preparing for the final exams. Office workers were striving for the annual bonus. Retired people were reluctant to go out in such cold weather.

However, when the Lunar New Year arrived, the situation of his shop would be better because the children would receive a lot of lucky money from their parents and relatives. Since Zhang Zian went to visit Little Celery's school, he had a strong feeling that, as a pet shop owner, it was easiest for him to earn money from children.

Lu Yiyun had begun to draw. Recently, she seemed somewhat mysterious and was very sensitive about her paintings. Whenever Zhang Zian walked past the cashier desk, she would quickly switch the interface of the computer screen. Zhang Zian could not help but wonder if she was drawing erotic anime drawings for those nerdy guys just to earn more money.

Old Time Tea and Richard were watching TV. After feeding themselves, Fina and Snowy Lionet were sleeping on the cat tree. Even Famous was asleep. The most vigilant creature in the pet shop was Zhan Tian, who was squatting side by side with the statue of the Cat Goddess at the outer room of the pet shop like a gatekeeper.

Since she knew that Zhan Tian was a veteran police dog, Lu Yiyun felt very safe with Zhan Tian in the shop. When Zhang Zian walked past, Zhan Tian stood up and looked at him with anticipation. "We will play outside after a while," Zhang Zian said to Zhan Tian, so Zhan Tian squatted on the floor again.

Zhang Zian poured the tea into Old Time Tea's thermal jug.

"Meow!"

As he was carrying the empty teapot to go back to the kitchen upstairs, he heard Galaxy's meowing from behind. He turned around. Blinking its silver-gray eyes at him, Galaxy said, "Meow! Zian, is Pi all right?"

Zhang Zian laughed. "Pi is fine. It just told me a very incredible thing."

"Meow! Pi is amazing!" Galaxy said solemnly and seriously.

"By the way," Zhang Zian lowered his voice and asked, "Galaxy, do you know about the book of Pi?"

Galaxy nodded. "Meow! Galaxy has seen the book before."

"That book ... is it really about life, the universe and everything?" he asked Galaxy.

Galaxy answered without hesitation, "Meow! Yes! That is a very powerful book! It is the most powerful book on Earth!"

Holy s**t!

Zhang Zian was shocked. The most powerful book on Earth?

He already knew that this book was all-encompassing, but it was still quite incredible that Galaxy acknowledged that this book was the most powerful book on Earth. Galaxy tilted its head and thought for a moment. It added, "Meow! It may not be the most powerful book on other planets."

Well, things on other planets have nothing to do with me. Thought Zhang Zian.

He carried the water kettle and went back upstairs.

Pi was sitting in front of the computer, typing the digits of Pi in the browser's search bar repeatedly. When it saw Zhang Zian approach, Pi was just a little shy, but did not dodge or shun as before.

"Pi, this search engine has a maximum length limit. If you want to type more digits of Pi, I'll install a word processing software for you." Zhang Zian proposed.

Pi did not seem to understand Zhang Zian's words. Behind its pince-nez glasses, its brown eyes blinked. Pi opened its book. A moment later, it happily closed the book and moved away from the computer.

"Eeek!"

Well, Zhang Zian guessed that Pi was asking him to install the software.

Zhang Zian found the official version of Microsoft Office that he bought a long time ago. He inserted the CD-ROM into the disk drive. After the lengthy read process, the word processing kit of Microsoft Office was correctly installed onto the computer. He launched Microsoft Word and a new, blank document appeared on the screen. Zhang Zian pressed the keys and typed 3.1415926 in the document, and then moved himself to another sofa, and invited Pi to sit back in front of the computer to continue typing.

"Eeek!"

Pi excitedly put the book on the coffee table, placed its hands on the keyboard to press the different number keys.

The nameless book was between Pi and Zhang Xian. If he reached out, he could touch the book. However, he resisted his curiosity and tried his best not to look at that book. Instead, he focused on watching Pi while it was typing the digits of Pi—which was boring and made him dizzy. However, since Pi could put down its book, it meant that Pi had started to trust Zhang Zian, right?

After a while, Zhang Zian noticed that Pi's typing posture was not quite right, like that of Mr. Zhou whom Zhang Zian had met in the library. Mr. Zhou used only one finger to type. Pi was slightly better than Mr. Zhou by using its two index fingers to type, which was of low efficiency. That's why Pi had been typing so slowly.

"Pi, your typing posture is incorrect," he reminded it.

"Eeek?"

Pi paused typing. It looked at him with puzzlement.

"Let me show you the correct posture." He sought the approval of Pi.

"Eeek!"

Pi moved aside. Zhang Zian sat back in front of the computer, placing his ten fingers on the keyboard. "Pi, you see, my two index fingers are on the two keys, 'F' and 'J'. There is a small bulge on each of the two keys so that your index finger can feel the bulge."

He patiently presented Pi with the correct typing postures, explaining the areas controlled by each finger, and how to move its fingers correctly.

"Eeek?"

After the demo was completed, Pi imitated Zhang Zian's posture and tried the correct methods on its own. However, it did not type very well. Its knuckles were not as flexible as that of human beings. Its fingers kept intertwining with each other, and soon, Pi became restless.

"Eeek!"

Pi scratched its head and gave up learning the correct posture. It resumed typing with only two fingers.

Zhang Zian decisively held its hand. "Pi, don't give up just because it is difficult. If you do not develop a habit of typing with the correct pose, and persist on typing with two fingers, your fingers will be prone to suffer from a variety of knuckle diseases."

He was not aware of the capacity of this document of Microsoft Word, but he guessed it could contain several millions of digits of Pi. If Pi continued typing with its incorrect posture, it would only be a matter of time before it suffered from knuckle diseases.

"Eeek?"

Pi looked at him with doubt.

"You can go check your book, which should have contained the correct typing posture." Zhang Zian said, pointing to the nameless book.

Pi listened to his words. It opened its book and turned the pages. After a moment, it put down its book and lowered its head uneasily.

"Eeek."It uttered this sound like it was apologizing.
