Hokkaido Horse Racing Story.

Chapter 360 Busyness Dominated by a Sense of Fulfillment
Normally, 400 million yen would probably be considered a very large sum.

Although he was used to spending money lavishly in horse racing, he never imagined how such a huge sum of money would be squandered in areas other than horse racing.

but--

This time, I didn't hesitate much before redeeming the three enhancements I had just received.

Although I was a little reluctant, the colorful amulets I had painstakingly collected were meant for this kind of occasion.

Click Redeem.

There were no "Thank you for your patronage" or "Congratulations" notification sounds. Is this a sign that the system is not user-friendly, or that expectations were too high?

In short, it lacks a sense of reality.

But it doesn’t matter.

When the hot water filled about half the bathtub, I took off the rest of my clothes and couldn't wait to soak in it.

I just stood there waiting for several minutes, letting the hot water submerge my body.

When the hot water reaches shoulder height, turn off the tap.

The temperature brought a slight stinging sensation.

After a whole day of activity, the joints seemed to be making a "crackling" protest even with the slightest movement.

He sighed wearily.

Then, with my head spinning from the heat, I thought about how to use the amulet afterward.

There are eight gold amulets, two silver amulets, twenty-three bronze amulets, and a pitiful six green amulets.

Although the consumption in Australia wasn't too high, it still nearly used up all the green amulets I had accumulated up to last year.

As for the other higher-ranking amulets, most of them have been preserved because they have never had the opportunity to be used.

"Just take a look."

While browsing the dazzling array of props in the [shopping mall], he subconsciously slapped the water's surface.

"An automatic hay baler only costs three copper charms, and it's the latest model!"

"An 800-horsepower super-heavy tractor only requires five bronze amulets?"

"A water supply system with a silver amulet. So installation wasn't included?"

"This planter is amazing!"

"Forget about custom-made Ma Yun planes."

It took a lot of effort to restrain the urge to squander all the amulets I had accumulated over the years.

Ultimately, they "only" purchased two supposedly high-end horse-drawn wagons, a super-heavy tractor with a rated power of 700 horsepower, an electric no-till grass sower with built-in fertilization function, and a forage fermentation system including a total ration mixer, an ultra-fine grinding and fermentation integrated machine with a temperature control system, and an intelligent baling and wrapping machine.

The total cost, when converted to Japanese yen, is an excessively cheap one gold amulet and seven bronze amulets.

Although it will most likely be a one-off deal without after-sales service, the fact that one can purchase high-end agricultural machinery at a price even lower than the cost price is enough to make people satisfied.

After closing the system panel, he clenched his fist, as if trying to grasp the small satisfaction after shopping.

After getting out of the bathtub, I washed my body again with slightly cooler water before leaving the bathroom and changing into a shirt I had prepared for the next day.

Let's put our worries aside for now.

My body was still a little tired after the shower, but the cool breeze from the air conditioner felt very pleasant.

The next morning, I didn't feel that "the sunrise was more dazzling than usual" when I got up.

In order to get back to Hokkaido as soon as possible, I chose a very early flight, and naturally spent the time from night to day on the plane.

Once you get used to it, you'll find that all airplane takeoffs are pretty much the same, and the scenery outside the window is no different whether it's Narita or Haneda.

Although there have been some truly unfortunate experiences, like those in Newark or Dublin.

"You've been wasting money again, boss." This was the first sigh that greeted me upon returning to the ranch.

And, in the open space in front of the main gate of the South Dormitory, there is a huge wooden box that is nearly four meters high.

It was really fast!

I am once again filled with admiration for the system's high efficiency.

Amidst their emotions, the villagers, relatives, and neighbors had already gathered around, making a noisy commotion.

"These must cost a lot of money, Kitano-kun?"

Behind Zep, who was beaming with excitement, Mr. Xuhe, who had come to help develop the grazing land just a few days before, first congratulated him, and then hesitated slightly before speaking.

"Because it was a factory owned by a friend, I bought it at cost price."

Having spent four years with the system, I've learned to maintain this level of composure.

Moreover, in a sense, they are indeed "friends".

This explanation was quickly accepted by the gathered members and associates.

It is said that when the agricultural cooperative's transport convoy arrived at the ranch, everyone working in the North Lodge was quite startled.

—It's a little regrettable that I didn't get to see what happened.

"That's amazing, but I can't understand the Chinese instruction manual!"

Scratching his head in slight distress, Kikuchi pointed to the Chinese characters printed on the outside of the wooden box.

"Leave it to me. I can speak Chinese, English, French, and even Lucia."

Before Rachel Ho could speak, Zepp patted his chest and hurriedly picked up his tools to unpack the box.

"Um... are you sure it's okay?"

Raving his hand to stop the overly impatient German, Ravid gave him a look that sought his opinion.

Asayama, who hadn't said much, pointed to the newly added special vehicles in the parking lot not far away.

On the other side of the open space, there was also a whole set of unopened agricultural equipment piled up.

"No problem."

After giving that answer, he then looked at the other people who had come to help.

"If needed, please feel free to use it in the future."

In Hidaka, where family-run ranches are the main type of farm, such large-scale agricultural machinery is usually purchased and used jointly by several ranches. Mejiro Ranch also borrowed a lot of agricultural machinery of various sizes from Nishiken during the initial construction phase.

So, with the intention of giving back to relatives, friends, and neighbors, he said it out loud.

"A seeder of this size should be able to finish the work on the grazing land in a day, no, half a day—"

Mr. Sugiyama stomped his cane hard, his tone sounding somewhat agitated.

After finishing the morning's work in the northern settlement, he spent a lot of time with the commune members and neighbors studying the newly received agricultural machinery and equipment.

At first, it was just like a child getting the toy they wanted, but as the agricultural machinery and fermentation system were about to be put into use, their hearts were gradually filled with a simpler sense of fulfillment.

I spent the rest of the day in a pleasantly busy atmosphere.

由鄙牧场生产的祝日圣歌2026（已正式命名＝目白宝祚）即将在本月29日（土）札幌1R的草地1200米2岁马未胜利出道。

During the breeding and pre-debut training process, we have received consistently positive feedback from the buyer, President Kitano, and the trainer, Mr. Yoshida. As a breeder who started out in the equipment sales industry, I am truly satisfied to receive such praise.

Hopefully, it will be a game where neither player nor team members are injured.
