Umamusume

Chapter 084: Worrying Quality

The implicit request proposed by Yayoi Akikawa is reasonable.

Qingxuan nodded and agreed to this condition. After all, when Xiaobei won 6 games in 6 and 1 games in G3, and his popularity was so high that he was close to becoming a star horse girl, it was no longer something that any media could do to slander him.

At that time, if Tresen Academy does not make some statement to Qingxuan, the trainer of Northern Xuanju, it will become a bad situation.

"Thank you very much for your affirmation. Beibu Xuanju and I will definitely work hard to achieve the best results."

Akikawa Yayoi nodded, with a harmless expression and even a smile on her face. However, if she was not smart enough to manage the entire Tresen Academy, she would have failed to hold the position of chairman long ago. Tresen Academy is the sacred place of Japanese horse girls and has a significant influence around the world.

Qing Xuan changed the subject and continued, "Chairman, I heard from Secretary Junchuan that you went out this time to inspect farms in various places to ensure that the ingredients provided to Uma Musume are safe and reliable. It is a blessing for all of us at Tresen Academy to have such a responsible chairman."

"Thank you! Being loved by everyone is the reason why I always insist on doing this. Uma Musume is the cutest baby in the world and the pride of all mankind. Being able to do what I can for them is my biggest motivation."

"Thank you for your hard work. In fact, in addition to being promoted to an intermediate trainer, I have some small suggestions. If possible, we should pay more attention to the physical changes of horse girls. I have checked the past years and found that the proportion of horse girls who retired due to injuries is very delicate."

Akikawa Yayoi's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to ask Qingxuan. Although he said that this might be an exchange of interests, the impact of this kind of thing was too great. Without very certain information, she couldn't rashly be influenced by Qingxuan.

“We are worried! This is indeed a result we don’t want to see, but running on the track is the highlight of all horse girls’ careers. We can’t deprive everyone of the global sport we all insist on just because they might get injured.”

“I’m not trying to change the global sport system, but I think we should pay more attention to the foot health of horse girls. It may increase the cost of the academy and make those horse girls from less well-off families more burdened. But if we can reduce the proportion of retirement due to injuries, it will benefit horse girls around the world in the long run.”

"I'm looking forward to it! It would be great if we could do something like that, but this is a problem that has troubled humans and horse girls for many years. It's really hard to solve it without hurting the horse girls, otherwise we would have solved it long ago. The competition is a test of speed, and for every horse girl it's a fair test of talent and sweat, and the competition system is also the result of many years of joint efforts and continuous iterations of experience by humans and horse girls."

Yayoi Akikawa would not easily ask Qingxuan what the significance of this matter was. Once she asked, the whole meaning would change. Perhaps some optimization plans that everyone had considered would be repeated by Qingxuan.

However, if it could be accepted by the academy and major prestigious families, it would have been adopted long ago, and Qingxuan, a newly arrived trainer, would not have to immediately propose it. It is an effective plan.

Qingxuan did not dwell on it too much. Now his words were not influential enough to make a big impact. Besides, the fact that he taught Uma Musume martial arts was a private secret and it was not the time to share it.

"I'm grateful for your advice. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. In the Japan-Ben Derby, Northern Black Horse and I will do our best and will definitely not let you down."

"expect!"

Qingxuan bowed in his seat, stood up and left the office directly.

Junchuan Tezuna was waiting not far outside the door. The meeting ended in less than twenty minutes, which was faster than expected. However, Beigong Qingxuan had already created several miracles. As long as he continued this momentum, his future reputation would be enough to influence the academy and the major famous families.

"Secretary Junchuan, you don't have to see me off. Thank you."

"Okay, Trainer Qingxuan, please take care."

After leaving the faculty building, Qingxuan came to the training ground and took a look around.

From a distance, we could see that Kitagawa Xuanju and Satomi Mitsuru were both warming up outside one of the tracks, as if they had made an appointment for a test run.

Qingxuan didn't intend to interfere with their normal training. Occasionally watching them train from a distance was also a good choice.

"Um, Trainer Qingxuan?"

Qing Xuan turned around upon hearing this, and a familiar face appeared in front of him. It was [Excellent Quality]...

Seeing the helpless lady, Qingxuan also had the idea of playing a prank.

"What's wrong? Why haven't I heard that you want to learn a musical instrument recently?"

"Ah? That...ah, it's Wanlai Zhengming who wants to learn a musical instrument, not me, haha, haha."

Su Zhi wanted to run away after saying this. She shouldn't have been so curious and came over to say hello. She knew she was wrong, but it was too late.

"Oh, yes. I have some free time now. Why don't we go meet classmate Wan Lai Zheng Ming? Let's go."

Su Zhi kept blinking. She hadn't completely convinced Wan Lai Zheng Ming yet, and she still had to train and prepare for the competition. How could she possibly learn the pipa just to help her cover up her lie?

"She, she participated in the Tianchun Competition at the beginning of the month, and her ranking was not ideal. She is training for other competitions, haha..."

At this time, Excellent Quality was sweating because she lied again, although only half of it.

On May 5rd, Wan Lai Zheng Ming participated in the last push before entering the advanced division, the G3 event Tenshun Sho (Emperor's Spring Viewing).

As a result, I only got ninth place, which made me feel very disappointed. Recently, I seemed to have decided with the delegation leader Yoshida Shoji to take a temporary break.

It turned out that Wan Lai had to undergo special training to prepare for the competition and had no time to learn a musical instrument.

Qingxuan saw through the lie told by this girl of questionable quality at a glance, but he did not continue to expose her. After all, it was better to be moderate, otherwise she would avoid him when she saw him in the future, which would be unpleasant.

"Well, why don't you learn first? When you learn it, you can have common topics with Wan Lai, and you can also spare some time to teach her how to play the pipa."

Su Zhi's eyes were almost turning into mosquito coils. She was okay at dancing, but she had no talent at all for playing musical instruments. She didn't know how to answer Qing Xuan and could only poke each other with her index fingers.

"Well... okay... I'll try my best..." He bowed and said, "Please give me your advice!"

However, after bending down, he shed tears of regret. ——Why am I so stubborn about saving face? Just now was clearly the best opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding, but now he even agreed to learn a musical instrument? What am I doing? It's so stupid!

Chapter 085: The Excellent Qualities That Get Deeper and Deeper

Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, but since he had the leisure time to do so, it would be a good starting point to conquer her. Through her, he could follow the clues to conquer the other horse girls of the "Kampus Team".

"Let's go and pick out a pipa instrument for you. It must be for sale."

The quality is shocked!

"Well, now I... I don't have that much budget. Why don't we wait for the right opportunity and then... then buy it..."

The quality is so poor that I am about to cry. The pipa is an imported product from the Hua Kingdom. Even the most basic one is estimated to cost six figures.

Although she received a total of about 6 million in bounties during her time as a player, she only received half of that, about 2000 million.

This money is for her to live on with her family. Her own pocket money is compressed to more than 100,000 yuan each month and she dares not spend more.

If you want to buy a pipa, then...

"It's okay. Since you like musical instruments so much, I'll give you a pipa."

The quality is shocked again!

Is it really okay to suddenly accept a gift from Trainer Qingxuan?

At this moment, Su Zhi felt even more guilty, and just when he wanted to tell her everything...

Qingxuan saw through her thoughts and naturally would not let her succeed, otherwise how could he lure her into the trap.

"I think Wan Lai will really enjoy learning a new instrument. Don't you think it would be a wonderful thing to be able to play an instrument with Wan Lai in the future?"

I didn't know where to start talking about quality. I was about to say that she was just trying to save face...

"Let's go. I'm quite interested. To be honest, I haven't played the musical instrument from my hometown for a long time. I'm determined to buy the pipa today. If you don't want to accept it, then I'll buy it first as a backup."

Qingxuan said as he turned around.

"Ah, um, this!! Trainer Qingxuan..."

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?"

Qing Xuan showed a hint of imperial tyranny at the right time, which made Zhi Su suddenly dazed, and then his thinking could not keep up, his logic became a little confused, and he didn't even think of how to start.

Seeing Qingxuan walking further and further away, Zhisu was so anxious that he almost cried and could only quickly catch up with him.

Qingxuan already had a whole set of procedures for dealing with girls like Zhizhi. As long as her logic was not self-consistent, she would keep getting stuck in a dead end until it was irreversible and she would have no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.

Qingxuan also knew that this was a bit cruel, but in order to conquer the Campos team, excellent qualities were the best entry point, and she would definitely become the best assist in the future.

Therefore, we should first conquer her and let her bear the psychological confusion until she drags down the entire Campos team.

Qingxuan didn't care about the incoming gazes and drove the electric scooter directly. Behind him was an excellent person who sat sideways with his legs together.

Until we arrived at the shopping street, we went straight to the musical instrument store in the largest department store.

Although the entertainment activities on Horse Planet are not very wide, apart from the nation's largest Uma Musume competition, the music industry is also relatively developed. After all, in addition to competitions there are also singing and dancing performances, so the musical instruments of each country are largely similar to those of Blue Planet, and even the names have not changed.

Among all the musical instruments, there are many types belonging to the Hua Kingdom, but the styles are relatively single. Basically, there is a big price gap between an entry-level instrument and a luxury item.

The pipa is also pear-shaped, consisting of a "head" and a "body". The head includes the string grooves, pegs, and the mountain pass, while the body includes the phase, frets, sound box, and cover hand.

When I saw the prices of the two pipa instruments, I felt dizzy again after following them with gritted teeth.

How can there be a 30 yen model and a 600 yen model? How can it be so outrageous!!!

Su Zhi had been staring at the price tag, and that little thought made Qing Xuan's lips curl up. He coughed lightly and said, "The instrument is not about the price, we just need to study hard."

Qingxuan called the store manager and pointed at the reddish-brown painted pipa that cost 30 yuan.

"We want this one."

The store manager happily went to the warehouse to get the stock, and soon brought back a brand new one, which was already packed in a matching waterproof and shock-proof outer box. When it was placed on the table, at first glance, it looked like excellent quality hair.

Qingxuan picked it up and took a look. The back of the pipa was so smooth that it was like a pear belly and even reflected light.

It is so attractive at first sight. Although it cannot be compared with the 600 million model, it makes people feel fond of it. Even though she has never learned to play the pipa before, it does not prevent her from liking this plucked instrument with classical elegance and rich cultural connotation.

"Do you like it?"

Su Zhi did not answer, as if she was completely immersed in it, because what she saw on the display stand was the front, but she was conquered when she saw the back. What girl can resist such a beautiful object.

"Open the order."

The store manager respectfully went over and wrote a receipt, then brought out a card swipe machine. Qingxuan handed over the bank card and swiped it to complete the transaction.

However, this made Zhisu wake up from his dream, but the transaction had already been completed. She was stunned until she walked out of the mall holding the pipa box that was more than three feet and five inches long, which was half her body length.

Qing Xuan thought about it, and then said: "It seems that I can't hold you when we go back, otherwise you can carry me on your back and hold me tight."

Suzhi looked at Dianmo, then at Qingxuan, and the expression on his face was very interesting, with regret and a hint of expectation and shyness.

I've even bought the pipa, you can't change your mind, right?

Su Zhi gritted his teeth, carried the pipa box on his back and sat astride him, burying his face in Qingxuan's back and no longer cared about anything else.

She learned a profound lesson this time!

Do I have to spend my whole life to pay for a lie?

At this time, how can she say that she actually doesn't want to learn a musical instrument?

However, Qingxuan did not return to Tresen Academy with his qualities, but went to a hillside in the suburbs where there was a pavilion.

The two of them sat on a bench in the pavilion facing the open area. In the distance was a bustling city. In such a Shankara, there was indeed a feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle.

As the breeze blew, Qingxuan placed the pipa in front of him, closed his eyes and breathed slowly, thinking back to his proficiency in playing musical instruments. He realized that his knowledge of these instruments was quite broad. Although he was only at the proficient level, he was already good enough to be a music teacher.

As the strings plucked, a song of ambush drifted away leisurely, sometimes tense and sometimes solemn!

This was very appropriate for the situation where Qingxuan was ambushed in the Garden Hotel, so when he played the piano, he showed mastery!

The quality was attracted at once. There was no war in this world, nor were there any life-and-death situations involving swords and sabers, not to mention the elf-like group like Uma Musume. They had never experienced such a solemn sense of crisis!

Chapter 086 Excellent Lies

While listening, his sharp mind was suddenly pulled into a fantasy world by Qingxuan's music, as if he was experiencing a life-and-death crisis personally. He was sweating all over and looked at Qingxuan with a dazed look.

The frequent rhythm made Suzhi's eyes lose focus and his breathing became rapid...

Qingxuan only played a part of it, then found that the quality was not right, so he stopped playing.

Only then did his breathing gradually become smooth, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and he looked at Qing Xuan as if he were looking at a god...

"Trainer Qingxuan, just now, what happened to me? I seem to have entered a very strange illusion. It's so scary!"

Qingxuan frowned.

——System, what's going on? There is no war in this world, but can the music related to it have such a great deterrent effect?

[System]: "Yes, the music is not violent, so there is no foul. However, the horse girls are a very sensitive race. In addition to their physical fitness being much better than that of ordinary people, they will have more unique performances in all aspects. It is recommended that the host avoid playing music that involves war and life-and-death crises."

"Trainer Qingxuan, I feel like the melody of the song just now is different from the usual music. This is the first time I've heard such a tense and suffocating melody."

"I just played it casually. I'm sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable."

Su Zhi quickly waved his hands. Although he was still in shock, he forced a smile and said, "No, it's just that this experience is very unique. The music can make people enter a fantasy world. Your musical attainments are definitely amazing!"

"Really? Then I won't play the same rhythm as before. I will play a piece called Pipa Language. If you like it, I will teach you how to play it."

Su Zhi nodded quickly, looking expectant.

Qingxuan adjusted his mood. Even without the guzheng and harmony, he was able to convey the mood.

Just like a lingering love story, it also draws excellent qualities into it, like a dream, as if seeing a different life. In that world, there are no horse girls with ears on their heads, but their clothes are very simple.

That should be similar to the ancient clothing of the Hua Kingdom.

Just entering the scene will not give you any experience in learning a musical instrument.

When Qingxuan stopped singing, Su Zhi was completely stunned. If she hadn't been gently shaken, she would probably still be immersed in the illusion and unable to get rid of it.
