Uma Musume, from entry level to basement

171. We unite!

Here, Tang Han was still arguing with the Emperor of the East China Sea, debating whether or not to pretend to be a mysterious man.

Rudolph symbolically took action over there to stop the action of the gas tank and prevented her from continuing to dig the soil.

Rudolph symbolically pressed down on Qi Tan with both hands and said, "Qi Tan, stop it. Even if that person is good at hiding, he can't hide in this dirt..."

"Woo..." Qicao looked at the holes she had dug before, and then looked at the withered sunflowers that had been dug out. She hesitated, and her hands covered in mud hung down weakly.

She naturally knew that the mysterious man was not here...

She just didn't want to believe it anyway...

I'd rather imagine that the person is hiding in the ground, and I can dig him out by digging the ground to one side, than believe that no matter what I do, I can't find him...

"Then what should I do?" At this moment, Qicao's eyes were empty and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

She was able to hold on until now only because she had a motivation in her heart to do something supporting her.

Whether it's for the cute juniors at school who look up to her or for the friends who care about her, she can't let herself get depressed. That's why she keeps doing things like a madman to keep herself active, rather than lying in bed and falling asleep forever...

But now she can't do anything well, and anything she does will bring trouble to others...

Qi Cao hesitated, wondering if shutting herself off from others was her best option...

"Qi Cao..." Rudolph looked at Qi Cao's painful expression with heartache and stroked her back gently.

"Qi Cao, do you still remember your wish?"

"Wish?" Qi Cao was stunned, not understanding why Rudolph Symbol suddenly brought this up.

She remembered the first time she realized she still had a wish, which was when President Rudolph came to visit her in the dormitory a week ago.

At that time, President Rudolph was followed by a strange man in black, who asked her if she had any wishes and said that as long as she fulfilled this wish, she might be able to attract the mysterious man to appear.

Then Qicao found the desire that had been hidden deep in his heart:

“Grow an Epiphyllum with your own hands and see it bloom with your own eyes…”

But Qi Cao himself knew that, just like finding the mysterious man, it was almost impossible to achieve.

Although she had never grown Epiphyllum before, she knew that it took at least three years for the flower to grow from seed to bloom.

And three years is really too long...

She can't even take care of an ordinary flower now, so how can she possibly take good care of the Epiphyllum for three years until it blooms?

"Impossible..." Qi Cao shook her head, not daring to believe that her wish could come true.

"That's not necessarily true." Rudolph symbolically held her trough, continued to stroke her hair, and smiled, "We will help you."

"But three years... is too long..." Qi Cao said sadly.

It's not that she hasn't thought about asking Rudolph to represent her friends for help, but if she let others waste three years just to accompany her to plant a flower, she would rather this wish never come true.

"What if I say that someone has a way to shorten the cultivation time of Epiphyllum?" Rudolf said mysteriously.

"Really?! Who?!" Qicao's ears pricked up instantly after hearing this, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

"Look, that's him." Rudolf pointed symbolically at Tang Han over there.

Qi Cao hurriedly looked in the direction of Rudolf's symbol, and only then noticed that in addition to the Emperor of the East China Sea, there was also a man in black.

Thinking about it carefully, the man in black seemed to be the one who came to ask her wish that day.

Rudolph introduced symbolically: "His name is Tang Han, a trainer friend of mine, and also the trainer of Emperor."

"Trainer?" Qi Cao was puzzled.

As a horse girl trainer, how can I shorten the time it takes to cultivate Epiphyllum?

Rudolph saw the confusion in the air tank and explained:

"He is not a simple trainer..."

"Since the day he learned of your wish, he has been looking for a way to help you realize it."

"He obtained a potion that can accelerate plant growth from somewhere, and then he secluded himself in this flower garden, spending day and night researching the best potion ratio for the growth of Epiphyllum."

Although the explanation of Rudolph's symbolism cleared up Qi Cao's doubts, it also brought about new problems.

"Why should he help me?" Qicao felt strange when he saw Tang Han being entangled by the Emperor of the East China Sea.

I clearly don't know him at all and he should have nothing to do with me, so why is he trying so hard to help me?

"Well... you have to ask him personally..." Rudolf smiled symbolically without explaining the reason.

On the other side, Tang Han was still trying to find a way to escape from the entanglement of the East China Sea Emperor, when he suddenly felt a strong gaze behind him, as if someone was staring at him.

Tang Han looked back and found that the gas trough that was digging the soil just now was now less than one meter away from him and was constantly looking at him.

"You want to help me fulfill my wish?"

Although Qi Cao's tone was still weak and cold, Tang Han could clearly feel an extra force in it.

"Yes." Tang Han was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Why?" asked the gas tank.

"Um..." Tang Han touched his chin and said seriously, "Because I can't stand that mysterious man, I just want to catch him and beat him up..."

"Me too!" At this time, the Emperor of the East China Sea jumped out and assumed a Muay Thai posture.

"I'm also annoyed with that mysterious man. If I catch him, I'll definitely beat him up together with Trener!"

"......" Tang Han swallowed and didn't dare to speak.

"Add me in." Rudolph the Symbol also came over and said with a smile:

"If it were me, I would lock him up in a dark basement and would never let him continue to harm others."

After saying that, Rudolf winked at Tang Han playfully.

Tang Han: “…”

Hey! If the emperor doesn't know about this, then it's fine if he just talks about it, but why are you joining in the fun?!

"Hmm!" After listening to the three people's description of the punishment of the mysterious man, Qicao became slightly excited.

That’s right, I must catch that guy and torture him severely!

"Is there anything I can do?" Qi Cao looked at Tang Han, already impatient to fulfill his wish.

"This..." Tang Han scratched his head.

"The nutrient solution ratio yesterday wasn't right, resulting in none of the sunflowers blooming..."

"And I'm still preparing the new nutrient solution..."

"So please help dig out these withered sunflowers and plant new seeds."

"Okay." Qi Cao responded and turned around to continue digging the soil with his hands.

"Wait..." Tang Han stopped talking, then took out a shovel from his four-dimensional pocket and handed it to her, "It will be easier to use tools."

"Yeah." Qicao took the shovel and nodded to Tang Han.

Her originally confused look now became more determined.

With the help of this trainer, I am sure I will be able to catch the mysterious man soon!

172. Idiot Gas Tank

Rudolph indicated that there were still many documents to be processed today, so he went back to the Student Union to work.

Qi Cao and the Emperor of the East China Sea stayed here, intending to contribute to Tang Han's experiment.

After Tang Han assigned the task of dealing with the withered sunflowers to Qi Cao and the Emperor of the East China Sea, he prepared to return to the tent to continue preparing today's nutrient solution.

But before he had gone far, he heard a crisp sound of wood breaking behind him.

"Clap!"

Tang Han looked back in confusion, only to find that the shovel that Qicao had just handed to her had broken into two pieces.

Qi Cao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tang Han innocently.

"Um... the tool is broken..."

"Huh?!" Tang Han was stunned.

How much force did she have to use to break this brand new shovel so quickly!

Tang Han had no choice but to take out another shovel and hand it to the gas tank.

The gas tank didn't respond much and went back to digging the soil with the shovel.

But just as Tang Han turned around, he heard another crisp sound.

"Clap!"

Afterwards, Qi Cao ran to Tang Han with the shovel that separated the corpse. He didn't dare to look directly at Tang Han and said awkwardly:

"It's broken again..."

"..."

Tang Han had a twisted expression. He really didn't understand why the two horse girls were using the same shovel, but the shovel used by the East China Sea Emperor was fine, while the shovel used by the gas tank was like osteoporosis, breaking at the slightest touch?

So this time, after Tang Han handed the new shovel to the gas tank, he did not leave in a hurry.

The air trough continued to dig the soil, and Tang Han watched quietly on the side.

He wanted to see what caused the shovel to break so easily.

However, Tang Han waited for ten minutes without seeing the shovel in the gas tank's hand break again.

It was as if the two times it was broken were just a coincidence.

But just when Tang Han thought there was no problem and his sight shifted to other places...

"Clap!"

Familiar voice, familiar half-broken shovel...

"......" This time Qicao didn't make a sound and didn't even dare to look back at Tang Han.

“…” Tang Han was speechless.

This shovel must have broken on purpose to avoid him...

But Tang Han still saw the reason.

This is actually not a problem with the quality of the shovel, but the fact that she often loses her concentration on the gas tank.

This resulted in her not only being slower at work than the Emperor of the East China Sea, but also making it easy for her to lose control of her strength and break the shovel.

But her breathing tank has also shown some improvement. After all, it broke after a few uses the first two times, but it lasted for ten minutes the third time. It can be seen that she has been trying very hard to get rid of negative emotions and actively improve her mentality.

However, it is not a good thing to let the shovel in her hand keep breaking. After all, too many failures will seriously undermine her self-confidence.

"How about this..." Tang Han simply took out a bunch of metal materials, welded an alloy shovel on the spot, and handed it to the gas tank, "This one is sturdy, you use this."

Although the alloy shovel is a bit heavier, it is several times harder than an ordinary shovel.

You can't break it again this time!

"Hmm..." Qi Cao stared at Tang Han blankly, reached out to take the alloy shovel, and his impression of Tang Han deepened.

Although the president's friend is dressed strangely, he has a very gentle personality.

When he saw himself making a mistake, the first thing he did was not to blame others, but to find a way to solve the problem...

"He's an excellent trainer."

The Qi trough silently labeled Tang Han.

"Okay, come to me if you have any problems. I'll go back to get some medicine first." After Tang Han finished speaking, he went back to the tent.

Qi Cao stared at Tang Han's departing back, and for some reason she was stunned for a while. After she came to her senses, she shook her confused head, picked up the alloy shovel and started digging the soil.

After half an hour.

"Treina, our mission is accomplished~" Along with the energetic voice of the East Sea Emperor, the East Sea Emperor and the gas tank, who had dealt with all the withered sunflowers, returned to the tent together.
