Uma Musume, from entry level to basement

"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Han turned his chair at the desk and first looked at the alloy shovel in Qi Cao's hand.

Well, that’s good, it’s not broken.

The handle is bent at 45 degrees.

"Sorry..." Qicao apologized awkwardly.

"It's okay, just a small problem." Tang Han put away the alloy shovel, took out a hammer and started repairing it with clangs and clangs. It was soon fixed.

Qi Cao looked at the alloy shovel that had returned to its original state, and a hint of surprise appeared on his cold expression.

As a horse girl trainer, he is not only good at plant research, but also at equipment repair?

Is this trainer a little too powerful?

But Qi Cao was not surprised for long, and returned to his usual indifference.

Because she wanted to know what to do next more than understanding the trainer.

"Is there anything else I can do?" asked the Gas Trough.

"Um...place these medicines into the corresponding droppers according to the numbers written above..." Tang Han said as he took out the medicine prepared today.

"Yeah." Before Tang Han could finish his words, Qi Cao took all the medicines and headed for the experimental field without stopping.

"Eh? Senior Qicao, don't you want to take a break?" At this time, the Emperor of the East China Sea was a little tired after digging the soil for half an hour. He was still wiping the sweat off his face and was about to drink a glass of water. As a result, he saw that Qicao had no intention of stopping to rest and took away all the potions by himself!

"I don't need to rest." Qi Cao left a faint message and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Wow~ Senior Qicao is so handsome!" The East China Sea Emperor's eyes were shining with stars.

In her opinion, Qi Cao's actions just now were very similar to the heroes on TV who set out to save the world. It was really cool!

"......." Tang Han didn't say anything, having a bad feeling.

Not long after, a series of sounds of glass breaking were heard outside the tent.

"***bang——"

Ten seconds later, Qicao lowered his head in guilt and returned to the tent empty-handed.

"Feel sorry....."

Tang Han: “…”

It seems that she is not only easily distracted, but also easily anxious...

173. Mission Master

Although the gas tank accidentally spilled all the medicine, fortunately Tang Han had already memorized the composition ratio of today's solution, so it wouldn't take long to make a new batch.

In order to prevent further accidents, Tang Han also found a cart.

Tang Han felt that as long as Qi Cao put the potion in the cart and took it away, he would not have to worry about spilling the potion.

"....." But Qi Cao looked at the medicine on the table, then at the cart in front of him, and came up with an idea that surprised Tang Han.

She reached out and held all the potions in her arms, then sat on the cart herself?

After finishing, Qicao looked back at Tang Han, and her eyes seemed to ask Tang Han whether she did it right.

"Ah this..." Tang Han had a strange expression.

You said the gas tank understands...

She can put herself in the stroller...

But you said you don't understand the gas tank...

Just tell me if the medicine is also in the cart!

After thinking it over again and again, Tang Han finally nodded, expressing his approval of Qi Cao's behavior.

"....." Qi Cao's eyes flashed after getting the answer. Although her expression hardly changed and was still as cold as before, the ears on her head were swaying happily.

For some reason, during the following work, the frequency of Qi Trough's distraction decreased a lot...

......

Time flies by.

With the help of the Emperor of the East China Sea and the gas tank, the preparations for today's experiment were completed before noon.

What Tang Han had to do next was to wait quietly for half a day until the results of tonight's experiment came out.

During this free time, Tang Han decided to kill time by reading some books on flower cultivation.

However, Tang Han was reading a book, and the other two horse girls were looking at him from both sides...

"stare--"

On the left is the Emperor of the East China Sea, sitting on another chair, also holding a book in his hand. Although he seems to be reading, his mind is on Tang Han.

Originally, she wanted to sit directly on Tang Han's lap and take this opportunity to be intimate with Tang Han, but there were other Ma girls here, and they were seniors in the school, so she didn't dare to do so and could only take a peek from time to time.

The one on the right is the air tank, standing quietly, staring at Tang Han.

But unlike the Emperor of the East China Sea who simply wants to stick to others, Qi Cao is more like a player who wants to speed run. Staying next to him is to be able to receive tasks at any time, so as to complete the game in a shorter time.

Even though Tang Han had told her that there was nothing left for her to do, Qi Cao would still pop in and ask her out of the blue every once in a while: "Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"Gu..." This made it impossible for Tang Han to calm down and concentrate on reading.

This feeling is like when he is about to fall asleep at night and suddenly someone turns on the light in the room. It is simply a torture.

Tang Han couldn't stand it anymore and had to assign her some tasks.

"Make me some tea?"

"Ah."

Qi Cao quickly made a cup of black tea for Tang Han.

"Can you help me clean my room?"

"Ah."

Qi Chou picked up the tools and soon cleaned the entire tent until it looked brand new.

"Scratch the emperor's itch for me."

"Ah."

"Eh?! Why?!" Before the Emperor of the East China Sea could react, Qi Cao's hands had already touched her waist.

“Wait! Hahahaha – Qi Cao-senpai hahahaha – stop it now hahahaha!”

But in the face of the East China Sea Emperor's plea for mercy, Qi Cao showed no intention of stopping and continued to tickle her.

Although Qi Cao didn't know the meaning of doing these things, since it was the trainer's request, there must be a reason for it. It might be part of the experimental plan.

Thinking of this, Qi Cao quickened his movements.

"Hahaha, senior, please don't—"

Five minutes later, the Emperor of the East China Sea slumped weakly on the table, his eyes rolled back, looking like he had been beaten to a pulp.

After completing the task, Qi Trough stood beside Tang Han and continued to stare at Tang Han, with a look on his face that said: What should I do next?

"stare--"

The intense gaze from the aura made Tang Han feel like a thorn in his back. He wanted to shout, "Stop staring at me!"

But after all, she didn't do it on purpose, she just wanted to find something to do, so Tang Han swallowed the words that were already in his throat and didn't say them out loud.

However, it is not a good thing to let Qi Cassia stare at him all the time, so Tang Han must come up with a permanent solution that can not only give Qi Cassia something to do, but also allow her to work longer and not have to stay by his side all the time.

Tang Han thought hard and came up with a task that was barely reasonable.

"How about you go to the experimental field and help me observe the growth of the sunflowers in real time?"

Tang Han had never carefully observed the specific growth conditions of plants before. He always figured out the reasons for failure by observing the results after a day.

This time, let the gas tank help record it. Maybe he can find some problems that he hasn't noticed before.

"Okay." Qi Cao nodded and agreed to the request.

Seeing Qi Cao walk out of the tent, Tang Han breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could finally read in peace.

As a result, after a while, the air tank turned back.

"What's wrong?" Tang Han asked.

"That..." The gas tank pointed to the experimental field.

"Trainer, the sunflowers said they are thirsty..."

"Oh, I'm thirsty..."

Tang Han didn't think anything was wrong at first. He thought that the girl was thirsty, so she came back to drink some water.

But when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly found the problem.

"Wait! Who said thirsty?!"

174. Listen to the sounds of flowers

"Who said they were thirsty, Sunflower?"

Tang Han's face was full of disbelief, and he thought Qi Cao might be joking.

But it's unlikely that the gas tank is joking.

So Tang Han began to suspect that he had just heard it wrong, or had misunderstood it.

Maybe the sunflower that Qi Cao is talking about isn't a plant, but a horse girl named 'Sunflower'...

"Well...I want to ask..." Tang Han touched his chin and said hesitantly:

"The sunflower you're talking about...is it a boy or a girl?"

"Ah?" Now it was Qicao's turn to suspect that there was something wrong with his ears.

Are sunflowers divided into male and female?

"I don't know..." Qi Cao shook his head, "But generally speaking... sunflowers are hermaphrodites..."

"Are they really flowers?!" After hearing Qicao's answer, Tang Han finally confirmed that he had understood correctly. The sunflowers that Qicao mentioned were the ones they planted in the experimental field!

At this moment, no matter how steady Tang Han was, he could no longer sit still.

But Tang Han didn't immediately think that the gas tank could understand the language of flowers, and instead suspected that the sunflowers in the experimental field might have mutated...

Because when he heard the words "the sunflower says it's thirsty", the first image that came to his mind was the sunflower cannon fodder in Plants vs. Zombies who always had a smile on his face.

After all, he chose sunflowers for the experiment because he had played this game and had a special feeling for sunflowers, such as being cannon fodder.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the potion he had mixed this time? Did it cause the sunflower to mutate into something like a flower essence, which is why it could speak in human language and say it was thirsty?

I don’t know whether this mutation is good or bad?

I hope that the sunflower will not only fail to protect humans, but also turn into a monster with a bloody mouth that wants to eat brains. That would be terrible...

"It... forget it." Tang Han originally wanted to ask for more details about the gas tank, but then he changed his mind and decided it would be better to go and see it in person.

After Tang Han took out a shovel from the space as a means of self-defense, he hurried towards the experimental field.

But when Tang Han entered the greenhouse, the noisy scene he had imagined in his mind of a group of sunflowers crying out for water did not appear.

On the contrary, it was very quiet. Apart from the clear chirping of birds coming from outside, there was no other noise, let alone the sound of sunflowers talking.

After this period of growth, the sunflower seeds in the field have grown green sprouts two or three centimeters long from the soil, and under the urging of the growth agent regularly injected by the dripper nearby, they are still growing rapidly at a speed that is difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Everything looks normal.

"Flower...where is the flower essence?" Tang Han looked at the peaceful scene in front of him, the shovel in his hand was useless.

"Trainer? What's wrong?"

The gas tank that followed in from behind saw Tang Han's disappointed look and tilted his head in confusion.

Didn't she just say Sunflower was thirsty? Why didn't the trainer bring water, but instead brought a shovel?

"Didn't you say, 'The sunflowers said they were thirsty'?" Tang Han asked.
