I'm Ornn, and I'm about to be beaten to my knees by the Man-eating Horse Girl!

"If I win this time, you'll not only have to hand over your limited edition lollipops, but also something of equal value to McQueen's five lollipops!"

Zhongshan Qingdian glanced at the chips displayed on the gold ship and shook his head dismissively, saying, "Only three? That's not enough for the table!"

Golden Ship then took out a beautifully packaged deck of cards from his pocket, waved it in front of Zhongshan Qingdian, and said smugly, "How about adding this deck of Supreme Poker that you lost to me before? That should be enough chips, right?"

Zhongshan Qingdian's eyes sharpened instantly, and she said in a deep voice, "If we're going to gamble, then there must be a method."

"I'm adding a condition: Rudolph must bring the gas tank to red temperature by today. I bet he won't!"

According to her understanding, student council affairs have been very busy lately, and at least before the summer training camp, they will be facing a huge amount of paperwork.

In such an environment, let alone dry jokes, Rudolf himself probably wouldn't have had the energy to come up with those spine-chilling lines!

Her chances of winning were at least 60%! A 60% probability is extremely high in gambling, so of course she dared to take the gamble!

Golden Ship nodded confidently and said, "Then I bet it is! But I'll add a condition: let's have the Emperor check the gas tank now to see if it's at the red temperature!"

Golden Ship's idea differed from Zhongshan's. She believed that the more paperwork took to the point of mental instability, the more likely Rudolph was to tell corny jokes to lighten the mood.

Not only does Qisuo have to deal with the thousand delegates who occasionally slip away and Narita Shirahito, but he also has to handle paperwork, while guarding against the emperor's lame jokes and the mischief from himself and Shin-Kuang-fu's underlings.

At this moment, the Empress was like a bowstring stretched to its limit; if the Emperor were to give it even the slightest, unintentional push, she would immediately turn red!

Both of them smiled confidently at the same time, and then walked over to the single-ponytail horse girl who was jumping around not far away. Golden Ship pulled out a jar of honey special drink from somewhere, and under Zhongshan Festival's persuasion, the horse girl, who looked like a child, was fooled away with an innocent look on her face.

"This...this shouldn't be considered child abduction, right?"

Although the newly emerging radiance hesitated somewhat, it still raised questions.

Fujimasa shook her head and said, "It's okay. It seems they've done this many times before. It should be fine."

"Where did Ornn go? Why hasn't he come back yet? It's almost 3:30 in the afternoon."

She looked down at the stone in front of her with a reproachful gaze and whispered, "I can't get through on the phone, and he's not replying to my Line messages. Is he out fooling around outside?"

With a wry smile, Xin Guanghui said, "No, I don't think my benefactor would do such a thing..."

She initially wanted to stick to her decision, but then she recalled how she had pulled a hot spring travel voucher from Orn's pocket back in Kasamatsu, and she began to hesitate again.

"I guess...?"

Fujimasa slammed his hand on the table, frowning, and said, "No way! We'll go to the school gate right now and wait for him! We'll interrogate him thoroughly when he gets back!"

"Even if they're going to see old friends, they won't just disappear without a trace, right? Let's go! Let's head to the school gate now!"

Seemingly hearing a familiar sound, the little horse girl with the goatee, who was lying on the stone table, twitched her ears. Little Chestnut Hat looked up at the entrance of the small park and said, "Ah, Tuorena is back."

Orn waved the few pieces of scrap metal he was holding and laughed, "Yes, children, I'm back."

Chapter 112 Kasamatsu Oron, representative of the Fog Movement

Orn tucked the iron plate under his arm and then went to Little Chestnut Hat's side and asked, "How was your day at school?"

"Everyone in the college is very nice. My roommate often says things I don't understand, but she really cares about me. And I even won the competition!"

As she spoke, Oguri Hat pulled out her gluttony competition medal and proudly tugged at her ears.

Ornn took the medal, rubbed his head, and looked at the inscription on it, saying, "G3 Central Treisen Eating Contest... Does this contest also have G2 and G1 levels?"

Teng Zheng was scrolling through his phone when he looked up and said, "Orn, this might actually be true!"

"I did a search and found that there is indeed a G1-level competitive eating contest, which is held during the summer training camp, specifically around the end of July."

"The G2-level competitive eating contest is usually scheduled by the cafeteria at Central Treson. The school's official website says that the G2-level contest will be held at the same time as the next school festival, which should be after the summer training camp at the end of August."

Shining Brightly said speechlessly, "There really is such a thing?! By the way, does the URA Horse Racing Association recognize it?"

"If I admit it, then can I also get a G2-level competitive eating contest title?"

Teng Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "How could we possibly admit it! The very idea of ​​setting up this competition is utterly absurd!"

"What's more, there are plenty of 'horse girls' in the central government who eat a lot. Even Oguri had to fight hard to win today!"

Oguri Hat nodded in agreement, saying, "Just like the march said, I saw at least three other horse girls in the restaurant today who can eat a lot too."

"Guanghui, if you want to win the competitive eating contest, you must train with me!"

Special training? That could kill someone, right?

The newfound radiance recalled the days when, back in Kasamatsu, Oguri Hat was still the Great Chestnut King, and his breathtakingly powerful eating ability.

If even she is struggling, then wouldn't I be completely shattered by the aftershocks of their battle as soon as I stepped onto the field?!

She hesitated and said, "Uh, I think I'll pass. It's too difficult for me."

Fujimasa looked curiously at the steel plate in Orn's hand and asked, "Orn, what are you going to do with these things? Are you planning to build some kind of shed in the dormitory?"

Orn thought for a moment, then said, "No, this steel plate is something I might use on the back mountain later. I want to build a shed there as a secret base for our Dolan team."

Of course, this was a lie. Neither Fujimasa March, nor New Radiance, nor even Oguri Hat had ever directly witnessed his forging techniques. They only knew that Orn possessed some forging skills, but they didn't know just how skilled he was. Therefore, he didn't want to expose his forging techniques, which were far beyond common sense, to the three of them.

However, the main reason right now is that he doesn't want New Radiance to know. This guy isn't tight-lipped these days, and he doesn't want him to accidentally reveal to others that he knows forging, which would be bad.

Among his current allies, only Uncle Kawatsuru and Uncle Kitajima know about this. Megumi Asama and Rudolf are unaware of it. As his biggest trump card, it is not the time to reveal it yet.

With her hands firmly planted on the stone table, her eyes shining, she asked, "A secret base?! Is it like in those novels, where giant robots or some kind of alliance are hidden inside?!"

"It won't be that exaggerated. At most, there will be some fun little gadgets, right?"

Orn shook his head, took out his phone to check the time, and said, "It's 3:40 PM now, it's getting late, I guess we won't be able to finish a full training session."

"Kuri, March, you two supervise Shining Light as he runs around the track, three laps of 4500 meters side-by-side, then you can go eat."

"We'll develop a new training plan tomorrow, understand?"

Oguri Hat and Fujimasa March nodded calmly, but Shining Radiance protested, "That's not right! My benefactor! Why are they the ones supervising my running?! That's not fair! You're showing favoritism!!"

"We've been a team that's been through thick and thin together! My benefactor! How could you do something so unfair! Shouldn't I be the one supervising Oguri and March!?"

Orn sneered, pointed at the legs of Oguri Hat and Fujimasa March, and said, "You still want the serfs to rise up and sing songs of liberation? Keep dreaming!"

"I noticed it a long time ago. Their leg muscles are very firm, which is the result of a recent workout. And look at you, fat steed, you probably overslept this morning!"

"Goo..."

The newly radiant figure was speechless, and could only stand there, glaring angrily at its trainer.

Ornn smugly flicked her head and said, "Hey, you want to mess with me? You'll have to train for a few more years!"

"Come on, I'll take you to the playground. After that, I need to put these steel plates back in the warehouse on the back hill."

On the way to the playground, the newly radiant Ornn quietly pulled aside and told him what had happened the night before.

"My benefactor, that guy kept attacking with alt accounts until 11 a.m. this morning before finally stopping. My hand is sore from reporting the accounts so many times. What should I do now?!"

Orn took Radiant's brand-new phone and looked at the testimonies the other party had sent last night. Then he returned the phone to Radiant and said, "Ignore her."

"Since the other party is using a secondary account to attack and testify, it proves that they are not comfortable using their main account to express their opinion,"

"And as you said, the attack started after you issued that clarification statement, which means your clarification statement hurt them,"

"It's inconvenient for the other party to directly confront you based on their identity, and they will respond to your denial statement. I think the mastermind behind these alt accounts is probably that 'mad scientist' himself, right?"

"Don't worry, Guanghui. If you ignore her, she'll naturally quiet down. It's impossible for her to come through the internet and beat you up, right?"

Hearing Orn's analysis, New Radiance breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "Then let's do as our benefactor says! To be honest, I was quite startled last night."

After saying that, she said shyly, "My benefactor, you see I have done such a great service, shouldn't I also get some reward for the training?"

Orn nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. In that case, I'll reward you with another set of frog jumps!"

"what?"

Before the newly radiant Illusion could react, Ornn called out to Fujimasa March and Oguri Hat, who were walking ahead, "Illusion said she wants to do extra training on her own initiative! Oguri! March! Remember to support her!"

Oguri Hat nodded, then turned and gave a thumbs-up to the brand-new brilliance.

Fujimasa March also smiled with satisfaction, indicating that he would provide the necessary assistance to the new brilliance.

Shining Brightly gritted her teeth, glaring at Orn, but dared not bite him, so she could only suppress her anger.

This caused her face to become increasingly red and her temperature to rise.

She stared at Ornn's departing figure, muttering, "Goo-hoo..."

"You wretched benefactor...please don't let me catch you!"

After bullying... no, after helping the newly emerging radiant Ornn confront his own weakness, Ornn hummed a little tune as he walked to the mountainside behind the mountain. Before he went to check on his assigned tasks, he had already delivered something once.

The student council easily approved the use of the hillside behind the house. To be precise, after he sent a message to Rudolf, the latter directly designated a 200-square-meter hillside for him to use.

After all, in Central Tereson, apart from the flower-loving horse girl students represented by Nishino Hana, Snow Beauty, and Hime Amazon, basically only Golden Ship would apply to use it.

Rather than letting the golden ship wreak havoc on it, it would be better to quickly hand over the land to a more normal person to use. In Rudolf's view, Orn was undoubtedly a normal person.

At least, that's what she thinks for now.

Orn arrived at the small shed on the back hill, piled the steel he was carrying aside, dragged out the barbecue grill hidden in the bushes, and placed a basket of charcoal at his feet.

After evenly spreading the charcoal inside the grill, he took out the hammer hanging from his waistband and gently tapped the charcoal.

"Wow, the old furnace is burning again."

Orn tapped the somewhat dilapidated barbecue grill with a hammer, briefly strengthening it to withstand temperatures of over a thousand degrees Celsius. Then, he picked up a steel plate he had collected from a junkyard and placed it on the grill like he was roasting meat.

Upon arriving in the central area, Ornn found himself unable to find a suitable position to help his horse-girl craft equipment.

Unlike in Kasamatsu, where he could go back to his little house and tinker with things however he wanted, now that he was in the central area, he dared not openly tinker with the equipment.

He had initially considered knocking on the alarm in his dorm room, but after seeing the smoke detectors installed throughout the room, he abandoned the idea.

Because Ornn's own strength is somewhat lacking, without the aid of the symbols of the [Forge] and [Flame], he currently has no way to craft equipment directly from scratch.

Without the help of these two items, Orn could only use his hammer to temporarily strengthen and shape objects, or to perform simple repairs on things with very simple structures, such as the loose steps of Longquan Temple and the old barbecue grill in front of him.

The furnace and flames would inevitably produce smoke and sparks, making blacksmithing in the surrounding wooden structures of the dormitory rather dangerous.

After careful consideration, Orn decided to first set up a secret base in the back mountains, specifically for blacksmithing.

Before long, the steel plate placed on the grill began to melt. The specially enhanced grill was indeed powerful, heating the alloy to a bright red in just five minutes.

Ornn picked up the hammer, twirled it in his hand, and then slammed it heavily onto the iron plate, sending up a series of bright sparks.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The iron plate quickly turned into a block of iron, which was then kneaded by a hammer into various other shapes, eventually becoming a U-shaped horseshoe, quietly burning on the grill.

"Phew, it seems my skills haven't deteriorated yet. Forging blacksmiths in the mountains certainly has its own unique charm."

Ornn put down the hammer, wiped the sweat from his brow, and then suddenly looked up towards the mountain path not far away.

He thought he heard someone approaching? No... someone was definitely approaching! And it was clearly coming this way!

Impossible! I specifically asked Rudolf for a spot where almost no one would come, how could someone possibly come looking for me?! How did they find me?!

Wait a minute! Could it be that...?

Orn stared at the barbecue grill in front of him, which was billowing black smoke from the excessive burning. Could it be that they were attracted here by the smoke?

Is it really possible for something like this to happen? The back hill is usually deserted, but now, quite by chance, someone has come!

This is bad! The horseshoe hasn't cooled down completely yet, and it's too late to extinguish the flames. Besides, why is the black smoke from the grill getting thicker and thicker?!

We must find a way to get rid of this black smoke first, and then we need to hide the horseshoe... I've got it!

Orn looked at an old cigarette butt on the ground, grabbed it, broke off a piece of metal from the leftover steel used to make horseshoes, tied the cigarette butt together, and hammered it heavily on the barbecue grill, shaping it into an electronic cigarette.

Then he picked up the hammer and pounded it against his lungs. After hanging the pipe in his mouth, he took a deep drag on the black smoke that was constantly rising from the boiler, inhaling all the black gas into the pipe!

At the same time, he swung the hammer again, striking the burning charcoal inside the grill.

This time, his target wasn't the charcoal, but the air inside the entire grill!

If all the air in this small area is cleared, the flame will have no way to burn!

"laugh----!!"

Just as Ornn had expected, the intense flames were extinguished the instant the hammer touched the coal!

He took another deep drag on his pipe, inhaling the thick smoke from the rapid cooling, then pushed the horseshoe into the coal ash, kicked the grill into the bushes, and hid the hammer behind his back again.

With all preparations complete, Orn plopped down on a nearby tree stump, holding a pipe that resembled an electronic cigarette, and exhaled a black smoke ring.

"Um... hello? We think we just saw a fire up here from down the mountain, did you see it?"

A woman with short, flowing hair appeared on the mountain path, accompanied by a girl wearing a reed hat.
