Zhang Zi'an thought that he could have a quiet New Year, but he didn't expect that the newborn 11 little milk cats would keep him busy, and he was circling around the two female cats and 11 little milk cats almost all day long.

The crucian carp brought by Xiaoxue helped a lot, and the milk production of the female cats who ate the crucian carp soup increased a lot, barely allowing the little milk cats to eat their stomachs.

Out of her love for the little milk cat, she tries to come over every day to help, and even if she can't go out for something, she will mail the crucian carp by courier in the same city, which is said to have been caught by her elders.

With her help, Zhang Zi'an's burden is lighter, and now he looks forward to Wang Qian and Li Kun's two living treasures coming back to work after the New Year every day.

The report and photos he sent to Feng Xuan made Feng Xuan very satisfied, telling him that the sample film of "War Dog" had been officially submitted to the organizing committee of the Berlin Film Festival, and had passed the review of the organizing committee, and would participate in the selection of the main competition unit. It is difficult to define how much of a role the line of subtitles at the end of the film played, but according to Feng Xuan, judging from the news obtained in private, the members of the organizing committee appreciate the attitude of the "War Dog" crew to care for animals, and there should be a lot of plus.

Zhang Zi'an usually doesn't pay much attention to entertainment news, but after paying a little attention in the past few days, he found that the entertainment sector began to have a small report on the "War Dog" movie in a harmonious and peaceful New Year's atmosphere. However, because there are no big-name stars and small fresh meat actors in this movie, it has not received much attention, and the report is more focused on another domestic criminal investigation film that is also shortlisted for the main competition unit, after all, the director of this film is more famous, and there are old actors starring.

Feimas is more concerned about the progress of the movie than he does, and he has to ask him several times a day if there is any new news.

Zhang Zi'an told it as soon as there was new news, but he politely reminded it to lower its expectations, after all, the Berlin Film Festival, as the first important film festival of the new year, can be described as a strong competition, and the competition is very fierce, and the directors and stars participating in the main competition unit are gearing up and are determined to win the award.

He pronounced out the names that were thunderous in the film industry at home and abroad, but only got a contemptuous hehe from Feimas.

The progress of the π is also going well, and it has sprung up as a dark horse, firmly occupying the second place in the monthly ticket list of new books, which is equivalent to having a good free recommendation position, and at the top of the list is a god who has been famous for a long time and has many fans.

In the morning, after serving the female cat and the little milk cat, Zhang Zi'an sat next to the π and watched it write.

The upgraded π is faster and more accurate than before, and it still sometimes types the number 3.1415926, but it is no longer confused and ashamed of this number, and just grinning and pressing the backspace key to delete it.

Zhang Zi'an's literary literacy is very average, and he can often score 45 points on 60-point essay questions in high school, but even so, he has noticed that the upgrade of π is not only reflected in the typing speed, but also in the ...... On the original plot.

As π said before, it is not completely based on the real life of Zhang Zi'an and the elves, but like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The real part is easy to say, π the original plot of the fictional part that used to be a headache, and when I write these, I often get stuck, and I can't squeeze out a few words for a long time.

The π who has been upgraded to a palace-level elf is more comfortable with the original plot, and the frequency and number of jams have decreased, so there is no need to sit in front of the computer all day and meditate, and even have some free time to play and interact with book friends.

π typed down the last few words and full stops, scratching his head in satisfaction. It has been writing since waking up in the morning, just after finishing a chapter.

"Squeak?"

It pulled Zhang Zi'an and looked at him expectantly, meaning: Do you want to find Xinghai and them to play hide and seek together?

π gradually integrated into the elves, no longer as shy as before, and sometimes when I finished writing early, I would actively want to play with other elves like this.

Zhang Zi'an smiled slightly, and was about to promise it, but a message prompt sounded on his mobile phone. He unlocked the screen of his phone and saw that the person who wrote the letter was the Internet celebrity and the biggest booklist owner in the starting point book list world - [Feather of the Hidden Alliance].

He picked up the teacup and gestured, "π, I'm okay with Xinghai, but it's ......"

After a pause, he smiled and said, "But it's not interesting to have fewer hideaways, you go downstairs first, wake up Pegas, find a way to pull it into the game, and I'll go down to find you after drinking this cup of tea." ”

"Squeak!"

π nodded excitedly, took off his sniffle glasses and placed them on his book, and ran downstairs on all fours.

Anyway, there are no guests now, and I'm not afraid that others will see it.

After taking it away, Zhang Zi'an clicked on the message and read it carefully.

[Feather of the Alliance]: Hmm...... Congratulations, the monthly pass has a good result.

Zhang Zi'an was also happy for π and replied: Thank you, especially thank you and other booklist owners for your support.

He knew that this Internet celebrity was very busy, had real work to do, and was busy contacting other booklist owners, so he wouldn't go out of his way to post such a sentence, so he waited for the following.

[Feather of the Alliance]: Do you want to hit a higher target?

Zhang Zi'an was stunned, what is the higher goal?

He replied tentatively: Yes...... Do you want to hit the top of the new book monthly ticket list? This gap is too big, right?

[Feather of the Alliance]: [laughs and cries] [laughs and cries]! No, hmm...... It is the rookie king of the year who hits the starting point, or the best newcomer of the year.

When Zhang Zi'an heard about this for the first time, he couldn't help but ask curiously: What is this?

[Feather of the Alliance]: A title, awarded to the author with the highest total number of monthly votes in the new book every year, although there is no material reward, but it is a very good honor, and the competition is fierce every year.

π probably woke up Feimars downstairs, and was squeaking and persuading it to play hide and seek together, Xinghai was also meowing and helping beside him, Feimars was like a ghost, and he didn't agree to participate, and the two sides were temporarily at a stalemate.

Zhang Zi'an was speechless, imagining what π would look like if he was elected, the newcomer would ...... Monkey King: Best New Monkey of the Year?

After thinking for a moment, he excused π and said: Forget it, let the more qualified author be elected, anyway, it's just a false name.

π write as an elf, it's better to keep a low profile, and the tree is big.

[Feather of the Alliance]: Hmm...... Okay, but it's just a name, but the right publicity is still helpful.

It can be seen that he still wants to persuade Zhang Zi'an, or π, to try his best to win this honor.

He was thinking about π, but Zhang Zi'an knew that π was very hard to write, and if he wanted to compete for more honors, he would inevitably work even harder, and even sacrifice rest and free play time like now. Between honor and health, he wants to choose the latter for π, after all, π has a long time to write, "life has an end and there is no end to books", there is no need to sacrifice a farther future for some immediate interests, the body is the capital of the revolution.

So he replied: Well, I'm not going to fight for this, but thank you for the reminder.

[Feather of the Alliance]: Hmm, I see. But I still want to remind you that even if you don't fight, there will be others who will fight for this honor, and many people will look at this honor with you, and these people may see you and yours as their worst enemies.

Zhang Zi'an frowned and couldn't help but get nervous.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there is competition. He remembered the previous attack on the book review section, which probably moved the cake of other authors. And this time the honor of the rookie king is ten times and a hundred times greater than that time, it is hard to imagine that others will sit idly by, this is the so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

As a starting point, the old bookworm and the Internet celebrity in the booklist world are well-informed, and probably won't be alarmist, so he asked: Then what should I do?

[Feather of the Alliance]: Hmm...... I don't have much to suggest. In the words of Grandpa Mao, it is to dig deep holes, accumulate grain, not to seek hegemony, and try to win the support of book friends, so as to respond to all changes.

Zhang Zi'an thought about it, and it seemed that it could only be so.

Pemmas and π will have to participate in a very harsh competition in the near future...... The difference is only one active, while the other passive.

Happy New Year everyone, and greetings to you from Pemmas, Wang!
