For horse racers, making money is victory!

In a dream. c

The snow-white-clad girl gazed with a touch of nostalgia as she looked around at the emerging racetrack.

——Zhongshan Racecourse.

The Satsuki Sho was held here.

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue's first GI win was achieved at Zhongshan Racecourse.

Compared to the grand and modern Tokyo Racecourse, Nakayama Racecourse is a model of the fusion of Japanese tradition and competitive aesthetics, appearing extremely solemn.

"Unfortunately, the difference between the Satsuki Sho and the Arima Memorial is too great."

"If we apply the experience of Satsuki Shō's victory to Arima No. 1, we will only suffer a crushing defeat."

"It's time to familiarize myself with the venue again and learn how to manage the new schedule and distances."

The snow-white-clad girl sighed softly.

But soon, she patted her chubby cheeks and became serious, her long, snow-white, gorgeous hair swaying gently.

So next...

Then it's time to choose a suitable opponent.

For the Arima Memorial 2500m, shouldn't we choose a suitable opponent, like the dream showdown in the Japanese Derby 2400m?

After thinking it over, she made her choice.

[Venue: Zhongshan Racecourse]

[Distance: Grassland 2500 meters]

[Duel: Star of the Sea City (First Form), Invincible Vanguard (First Form), Sea City (First Form)]

it is good.

Then let's fight!

A few minutes later.

The snow-white-clad girl was drenched in sweat and almost collapsed behind the finish line.

The soon-to-disappear score recorder and large screen both recorded the results.

[Fourth Place: Xiaobai Zhuixue (Losed by Sanma Shen)]

"Not a buddy..."

Whether it's endurance or finishing, they've clearly improved compared to their performance in the Japanese derby, yet they still lost by about the same margin.

2500 meters is indeed a long distance; it takes time to get used to it!

After the initial shock and astonishment...

Before Xiaobai Zhuixue could even think about how Arima Jinian should allocate his stamina and when to use his skills, he was already thinking about it.

Before her, a new system panel appeared for the first time in a long time.

[Temporary Mission 1: Win 5 races using the same running style]

[Reward: Dream Showdown B SS Upgrade (Unlocks Realm)]

[Temporary Mission 2: Win 3 training matches]

[Reward: Draw for Training Match B SS+1]

[Drawn: Divine Eagle]

147. Arima Memorial: There are no more humans left!

"Huh?"

The long-awaited temporary mission has finally arrived.

"Win five races using the same running style?"

"And, win three training matches?"

Once you feel comfortable, you can finish everything in a little while.

Temporary missions are easier than staged missions.

"The reward looks pretty good."

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue looked at the reward display for these two tasks.

[Reward: Dream Showdown B SS Upgrade (Unlocks Realm)]

[Reward: Draw for Training Match B SS+1]

[Drawn: Divine Eagle]

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue had long suspected that the B SS battle in his dream might not be the complete version.

After all, even if the Star of the Sea City and the Invincible Vanguard are indeed rare monsters, they were able to defeat Maruzenski at his peak in a dream battle while only in his New Year of the Horse form.

But shouldn't it be possible to create a complete difference in horse length?

Even a well-known dark horse like Haidu City only won the Arc de Triomphe in his career, and even in his first form, he could beat Zenkichi Mikami.

Maruzensky, who possesses a territory, is no match for these first-form overseas horse kings who are so small they definitely don't have any territory. Even if he's inferior, he shouldn't be this far behind. yk

It's impossible for each individual to replicate the legendary skill and defeat a seasoned veteran in their field with their unique abilities, right?

The giant killer proved that the field is important and has the potential to create miracles!

Therefore, the conclusion naturally emerges: the B SS in the dream have stats, can replicate the running style and skills of the past, but... they lack [domain].

Now, after completing the temporary mission, we can finally see the B SS who unlocked the territory.

"Wouldn't that... make it even harder to win?"

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue's expression was subtle.

"System, will we be able to choose the 'Do Not Open Territory' mode later?"

【Can]

The white-haired, red-eyed girl breathed a sigh of relief after reading the answer.

it is good.

We should proceed step by step. Otherwise, if we get too strong too quickly, the gap will be too big, and we won't learn much.

Then let's continue training!

"If we finish the training race and then draw the Eagles senior, that would be even better."

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue stared at the line of "Divine Eagle" with a pleased expression.

That senior Eagle is a B SS with extremely high cost performance.

Its price-performance ratio is even higher than that of Mejiro McQueen, the GOAT of long-distance racing!

On the surface, Megumi McQueen is a top long-distance racehorse, but she is also good at middle-distance races, so she can be described as well-rounded.

However, her mid-range shooting... can only be categorized as "usable," and her performance is significantly worse than her long-range shooting.

So how do you compete with monsters like Maruzenski, Sea City Star, Sea City, and Invincible Vanguard, who are at their peak, for the only three spots in the Dream Arena?

Unless Xiao Bai Zhui Xue's dream battles increase to six or seven, she might be useful at mid-range.

In contrast, the Divine Eagle is a monster through and through.

Unable to compete for the classic triple crown, she first easily won the GI-NHK Mile Cup, and then moved up to the much larger 2400m Japan Cup.

They won the championship in an incredible, classic year.

Even Yoshiro Tsurugi wasn't confident of winning the Japan Cup in the classic year, so he could only run away to participate in the Arima Anniversary!

The Hawks not only won in the mile and then the middle distance, but also ventured overseas, achieving second place in their first European Mile GI race despite not yet being fully adapted to the European environment...

Such expressiveness, such exaggerated talent, would be considered top-tier even in Europe!

In the eyes of European female horse racing, only miles and middle distances are considered the ultimate distances.

As for short distances and long distances, even dogs wouldn't run.

Therefore, the Eagle, who has shown exceptional talent in both miles and middle distances, is undoubtedly a world-class racer, and even Europe, which looks down on racehorses from outside Europe and America, highly recognizes her.

If he hadn't been dragged down by Japan, he might have been trained in Europe much earlier and might have become a legendary horse king.

In Japan... Kaga almost failed to win the mere "Japan's Best of the Year" award for two consecutive years.

All I can say is that when it's time to run, you should run decisively. Sometimes it might not be a problem with people, but rather a problem with the environment.

The situation of the Divine Eagle and Xiaobai chasing the snow fully proves this point.

If Xiaobai Zhuixue had stubbornly clung to the American mudflats without adapting, she might still be struggling to win GI and would have become a "mudflat version of Golden Journey".

Xiaobai Zhuixue, who is pursuing the all-powerful, hexagonal path of kingship, would be satisfied with a monster like Shenying—powerful, useful, and domineering at both mid-range and long-range distances?

certain.

She's a powerhouse when it comes to intensity!

I'll avoid chasing the snow, here I come!

"Okay, continue training speed."

"During the day, in addition to mid-range speed training, I also need to continue to work on my strength!"

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue has already come up with a new training plan.

After a period of time.

November, the next line.

In a gym, the number of racehorse girls exercising is significantly less than in the past.

Some even put down their dumbbells or other fitness equipment, sat down, and watched the live stream on their phones.

Because today is the live broadcast of… the International GI Japan Cup!

The snow-white-clad girl was holding a dumbbell while glancing at the phone screen placed to the side.

S

Since she already knew the result, and there wasn't anything particularly important or worth paying attention to for Xiaobai Zhuixue among the race girls, she didn't even go to the studio.

Don't hinder Master Xue's workout time for making money!

And just a few minutes later.

After the racehorse girl in the picture finishes exiting the gate and passes through one bend after another.

The atmosphere became increasingly heated.

"—Eek!!"

"They've really got going! Especially Senior Zhou, he's so fast and strong!"

"As expected of the overlord who reigned supreme through both spring and autumn!!"

"The powerful families can't even make a breakthrough? It looks like... Senior Zhou is going to win!!"

The stab from that "Special Week of the Japanese General" was incredibly swift, leaping towards the finish line with an astonishing and domineering momentum.

Numerous exclamations erupted in excitement during the final, tense moment as the rider crossed the finish line.

After all, the Japan Cup is one of the few "international GI" tournaments open to the public among the GI events that are held in Japan throughout the year.

Not only that, but it is also the middle distance of the main road, 2400 meters, which is the same distance as the Japanese derby.

Therefore, even though the quality of international matches and overseas horse races in the Japan Cup may not be as high as one might imagine, the number of viewers is still quite large.

This year's Japan Cup is a case in point. The champions, who were awarded the Arc de Triomphe, arrived in a hurry, were unaccustomed to the local environment, and were exhausted from the previous competition.

The extent to which the debuffs stacked up was almost the same as when I participated in the Woodward Speed ​​Challenge last month.

But as a result, the prestigious family, who are considered legends of the Arc de Triomphe and the champions of the racecourse, did not even manage to finish in the top three, let alone suffer a narrow defeat.

The big red one actually managed to catch up and achieve a draw, without losing.

All I can say is that bright red is truly terrifying...

"Okay!"
