Chapter 213: Forty kilometers or fifty kilometers?

Zhong Ming wanted to say something, but seeing the four horse racing girls in front of him sweating profusely, he decided to let them go home and take a shower before talking. The snow on the street had not melted yet, and the cold wind made his trouser pockets cold and he got goose bumps all over his body. However, Mi Yu had no clothes at Zhong Ming's house, so he could only say goodbye and go back to his dormitory.

Zhong Ming's home was only 400 meters away from Central Tresen, so there was no need to keep the guest there. He nodded and told her to soak in hot water for a while to avoid catching a cold.

"Ding--"

The elevator to the third floor opened, and the three horse girls, leading with their new glory, ran straight out, took out the key from under the carpet at their doorstep, opened the door, threw off their clothes and went into the bathroom naked - the three of them had already prepared to take a bath as soon as they came back in the winter, and had already put hot water in to keep it warm before going out, and the electricity bill that Zhong Ming had to bear also increased every month.

Zhong Ming was sweating a little after a brief sparring session with Yae Wudi and Master Miyazaki, so he went to the next room to wash up. These rooms were originally meant for them, but the three of them just liked to stay in his room, so now he could only use it as a shower.

Rinse the body with hot water and then take a bath. Zhong Ming has been in Japan for a few years and has gradually become accustomed to this process. Soaking in the bathtub can indeed relax the mind, as if returning to the happy time when he was a brainless single cell. Just after soaking for a while, he heard footsteps in his room next to him. Thinking that they should have finished showering, he wiped his body and opened the bathroom door. Looking up, he saw Oguruma and the other two who were about to pull open the towels wrapped around them and change clothes.

"Huh? Why are you here?" Zhong Ming asked after a moment's pause, and then he noticed that the faces of the three horse racing girls in front of him had visibly changed from the rosy red after taking a bath to the bright red of apples, and realized that now was not the time to ask questions.

"I'll go over first, you guys take your time to change your clothes."

Zhong Ming coughed lightly and hurriedly walked out of the room and sat down in his own room, hugging his chest and sighing helplessly. Such accidents are always going to happen when living under the same roof. Although they have been very careful, they are still inevitable. I hope the three of them can be more magnanimous.

After a few minutes, the three horse girls opened the door and came back, their faces still flushed, but there was no strange expression on their faces.

Zhong Ming thought about it and realized that the clothes of the three of them would definitely not be enough in this room, so they naturally used the room next door as a wardrobe. They thought he had gone out and would go directly to the side to change clothes, but they didn't expect Zhong Ming to come out directly. Fortunately, the three of them were still wrapped in bath towels, and only a pair of long white legs and exposed shoulders could be seen.

If it were in ancient times, he would probably have been forced to take responsibility by the girl's family with a butcher knife on his neck. However, this is modern society and there is no such bad habit. Zhong Ming was spared the disaster and was spared from marrying three beautiful girls. In this world, being responsible for one woman is enough to make him worry for most of his life, and even one more would make his head explode.

Of course, those artillery kings definitely don’t have the same worries as Zhong Ming, they can just leave without mercy.

"Ahem..." Zhong Ming rubbed his forehead and realized that he was overthinking. He was thinking about getting married before even starting a relationship.

"Um..." Fujimasa March raised his hand and said, "Guanghui said he wanted to buy new laundry detergent but he hasn't bought it yet."

Her face was calm, but her cheeks could still be seen slightly flushed, and she tried her best not to think about what had just happened.

Zhong Ming nodded and said, "I'll give Xinxin Guanghui some funds to buy it later, and buy some good shower gel at the same time."

"Then let's buy LION TOP laundry detergent, and I'll wait and see when the shower gel arrives..." Brand New Glory thought for a while and said.

We are currently using Kao (KAO), and now we have to buy Lion. The Japanese like the word "king" so much... Zhong Ming thought to himself, remembering that last time he went to Seiyu supermarket to buy laundry detergent, he saw that Lion was 4 times more expensive than Kao in the laundry detergent area. It was worthy of being called a lion, and it really caused a heavy blow to his wallet.

However, Fujimasa Marching was no longer silent and awkward as before, and Zhong Ming was able to ask the questions he cared about. He looked at Xiao Limao and asked, "How did you encounter the symbol of Sirius?"

"She met us as she walked out of a Chinese restaurant. I still remember that Chinese restaurant's specialties were mapo tofu and ramen. The owner of the restaurant was good at making ramen, and the sign at the door was 'Welcome Pavilion'..." Oguruma replied.

Zhong Ming stretched out his hand to stop her. I asked you to tell me the symbol of Sirius and you are going to order a banquet for me, right?

Fujimasa added: "She met us on the road and suggested that we compare the 500-meter sprint. We had already finished training and were about to return, but since she was Oguri's next opponent, we agreed to get to know each other."

Zhong Ming nodded. So that's how it was. And based on what they just said, it seemed that both of them had lost.

“After all, she’s a horse girl who’s competed overseas with many powerful horse girls. It’s normal to lose in the first meeting.” New Glory comforted her. Although she fell behind without even catching up, she was still able to say words of comfort.

But to her surprise, Zhong Ming also agreed with her idea, which made her flattered. Zhong Ming said: "After all, it's not a formal competition. It's normal to win and lose in private competitions. Only by losing can you know your weaknesses and the opponent's strengths. But 500 meters... Judging from this, the opponent's explosive power and last kick should be at the top level in GII."

Seeing that Zhong Ming agreed with her, Xin Xin Guang Hui couldn't help but feel proud and wiped the tip of her nose with her thumb and said, "That's it!"

Zhong Ming also thought about it. According to what they said, Oguruma and Fujimasa were physically exhausted after their training. It was normal for them to lose to horse girls of the same level at this time, not to mention that the opponent was a horse girl with the same name as Rudolph symbol.

Losing is not all bad. At least it gave the opponent wrong information, allowing her to misjudge Oguruma's level. This was also one of the tactics of the game.

"By the way, it seemed that Tuolei came back from outside Tresen just now. Where did he go?" New Glory asked curiously.

"Nothing, just a few slashes with a real knife." Zhong Ming said.

Oh, is that so?

Ok?

Eh?

Xin Xin Guang Hui thought she had gotten used to what Zhong Ming said casually, but it seemed that she was still not used to it today. What did it mean to fight with someone a few times?

……

"I heard that you ran a section with Oguruma and Fujimasa March?" In the student council room, the Rudolph symbol looked up and asked the Sirius symbol curiously, "What do you think?"

"She's a good opponent, very strong, worthy of the Ming Wang team that has been gaining popularity recently." Sirius Symbol raised his head and smiled confidently, "But that alone still can't beat me. There are many opponents like her overseas. I will defeat the Ming Wang team and win the Ming Wang in the GI."

Ming Wang? Rudolf's lips curled up.

"Hmph." The man sitting on the sofa next to him shrugged without commenting.

"Didn't Kuromak and the others just finish their training when they competed with you? Do you think that was their full strength?" Rudolf asked symbolically.

"There are only a few types of training in the morning. Judging from their route, it's probably just running from the entrance of Central Tresen to the port area, which is about ten kilometers. I can do that level." Sirius shrugged.

"Really?" Rudolph smiled symbolically, flipping through the photo of Hakkai Oshino that Zhong Ming had posted on Twitter before.

The distance between Central Teresin and Oshino Hakkai below Mount Fuji seems to be forty or fifty kilometers?

Chapter 214: Decision on National Broadcast

Symbol Rudolph looked at the confident Sirius Symbol in front of him. As a horse girl from the Symbol family, she was the one who knew the strength of the Sirius Symbol best. And would she... give the Mingwang Team their first crushing defeat since entering the Central Team?

Rudolf was very interested. Since the Ming Wang team joined Central in January, its overall evaluation has reached the GII level in just over two months. The Ming Wang, which is one level ahead, even set a century record in the Takarazuka Kinen. Later, the Yasuda Kinen also won the game with an amazing length. Now there is a group of Ming Wang believers wandering around on the Internet. Whether it is the victory or the defeat of the Ming Wang team, it is enough to be remembered in the history of Central Teresin.

But if she had to say it... Rudolph suddenly thought of Zhong Ming's face, crossed his hands and put them on his chin and said, "You may not win."

Sirius symbol slightly raised his eyebrows. Rudolph symbol and she were childhood friends, so he would not say something sarcastic to deliberately anger her. In other words, Rudolph symbol really thought so, but Sirius symbol did not think that Xiaokuimao was better than herself. She tilted her head and said, "Is it because of the Mingwang team's trainer Zhong Ming?"

"Oh? Why do you think so?" Rudolph asked with interest.

"No, because the stationery on your desk are all related to him." Sirius looked at her sister speechlessly. She didn't know why Rudolf, who had always been smart and powerful and was dubbed the emperor, suddenly had a low IQ.

Rudolf looked at the pen in his hand. The word Zhong Ming printed on the pen showed him giving a thumbs up. He was stunned for a moment, coughed lightly, and pretended not to have heard clearly.

"And when I'm at overseas competitions, horse girls often come to ask me if I know someone named 'meiou (Ming Wang)' or 'zhongming (Zhong Ming)'." Sirius Symbol scratched his head and said that when she was about to enter the gate at the stadium, the horse girls would always hear that she was from Japan and ask excitedly, but when she didn't get an answer, she would be disappointed.

The Sirius symbol later searched for "Ming Wang" on the Internet and found advertisements for toilet paper rolls, and after searching for "Zhong Ming", advertisements for watch cleaning appeared. No such person was found at all. It was only after returning to Japan that I heard that the trainer of the Ming Wang team seemed to be called this name.

"Do overseas horse racing girls know him too?" Rudolph was curious. She knew that Zhong Ming had competed overseas, but she didn't know that he had fans overseas too.

"Well, a little bit, but he's still not as famous as me." The Sirius symbol said proudly, his red eyes looking at the Rudolph symbol, "I won the first game after returning to Japan."

Before Rudolph Symbol could speak, the gas tank on the sofa said lightly: "It's not that easy."

"Do you also think it's because of Zhong Ming?" Sirius raised his eyebrows.

"Not at all!" Qi Cao said unhappily, but thinking of Zhong Ming's killing look with a real sword just now, and the record of the Ming Wang team under his guidance, he reluctantly changed his mouth and said, "It can be considered a little bit."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. I will win the Daily Crown in two weeks anyway. After all, this is..." Sirius smiled symbolically and shook the notification letter sent by the Uma Musume Contest Association in his hand, which read 'Daily Crown NHK National Broadcast Decision'.

"A major tournament broadcast live in front of 120 million people across Japan!"

Qi Cao raised the corner of his mouth, and Rudolph also smiled slightly as he looked at the notification letter on the desk.

Zhong Ming will definitely be shocked when he finds out, but... he will definitely be even more excited!

……

"Zhong Ming, are you not hurt?"

Oguruma's upper body reached over the kotatsu and poked Zhong Ming's body with her slender fingers, asking with concern. She had seen many swordplay movies in which a great swordsman would go home after a decisive battle with his opponent, lift up his clothes and look at the knife wound on his chest with a deep look in his eyes. After delayed vomiting blood, he died two days later. Zhong Ming couldn't be like this.

"You think a real sword fight is too scary. It's just an ordinary sparring. How could someone die?" At their request, Zhong Ming stood up and opened his hands so that they could pat them to see if there was any problem, but apart from the wound on his right leg, there were no other wounds.

After hearing Zhong Ming's words, Brand New Glory was speechless and said, "Tuo Lei Na, do you know that watching your game videos can make people sweat?"

The contestants in the Yulong Cup are not only a bunch of killers, but also a bunch of mad dogs. They can break three or five wooden swords made of iron wood in one round. While the opponents on the stage are competing, the referee below the stage is sharpening the wooden sword. He will not leave the stage until he vomits two liters of blood. If they use real swords, they will cut people into pieces.

Zhong Ming, who was able to win the title of Young Sword Master in that Yulong Cup, can be said to be a living killing god. If you haven't broken a few ribs, you would be embarrassed to say that you have met Zhong Ming.

"In fact, it just looks fast in the video. The truth is not that exaggerated." Zhong Ming waved his hand and got back to the point: "The Daily Crown in two weeks will be our Mingwang team's first GII. We must win it steadily."

Having said that, the four people in the room were actually unsure. After all, GII was a completely unfamiliar field to them. Moreover, Oguruma and Fujimasa March had just lost to the Sirius Symbol. Although they had competed under the debuff of their recent training, it somewhat dampened their enthusiasm for stepping into the GII field.

The three horse girls had different expressions. Oguruma was thinking about how to defeat Sirius Symbol if they met her again; Fujimasa March was thinking that there were many opponents like her above GII; Shining Glory tried her best to pretend that she was also a top GII horse girl and thought seriously, occasionally turning her eyes to see if there was any change in the expressions of the two people next to her and then changing her expressions accordingly.

Two weeks...

Zhong Ming thought that there were still more than ten days until the Daily Crown on March 15th. It was the longest competition they had to prepare for since coming to the central government. Training was necessary, but they didn't need to spend all their time on training. They also needed some rest time to ensure a proper balance between relaxation and tension.

At this time, someone knocked on the door. Zhong Ming walked over, opened it, and looked down to find that it was Mi Yu. Compared with Zhong Ming's height, Mi Yu was indeed very petite as her name suggested. There were still water droplets on her black hair and snow-white neck, and she smelled of the fresh fragrance of shower gel. She must have just finished taking a shower.

"Please look at this!" Mi Yu took out the mobile phone in his hand and pointed at the screen without waiting for Zhong Ming to speak.

Zhong Ming looked over and saw the three horse racing girls behind him also poking their heads over curiously.

"NHK broadcasting decision?" Oguruma asked puzzledly.

"That is to say..." Fujimasa March seemed to have thought of something.

"The game will be broadcast live on television all over the country!" Xin Xin Guanghui shouted in panic, pressing his head.

Chapter 215 Debate

NHK was not a strange word to Zhong Ming. Before that, the group of bandits protected by Japanese law would come to his door every week to collect fees. Even if Zhong Ming read out Javanese, they would take out a receipt in Javanese from their bag with a amiable look on their faces without any surprise. They were a group of damn bastards. It was only after Zhong Ming arrived in Tokyo that the NHK employee who came to his door was a fan of Umamusume that they stopped collecting fees.

The reason why NHK can be so arrogant is also related to its wide coverage. It has a program like the Red and White Songs Contest, which is equivalent to China's Spring Festival Gala. Even if it does nothing for a whole year, it can still push the ratings to more than 50% at the beginning of the new year. The highest it has ever reached was 81.4%. After all, it is a folk custom to turn on traditional programs on the festive day of the New Year.

With such a large audience base, NHK will naturally not forget to broadcast Umamusume competitions, but except for GI-level competitions and top overseas competitions, NHK seldom broadcasts them on TV.

“But why are they broadcasting the Daily Crown live this time?” New Glory asked in confusion.

Zhong Ming was aware of this. After retiring, he was dissatisfied for a while that his games could not be broadcast on TV, so he studied the broadcasting rules of TV stations. Although NHK would broadcast GI games, it would also choose some potential games below GI to broadcast in order to expand the influence of the games.

After all, there are only 24 GI competitions a year, while there are as many GII and GIII as you want. If they can get the audience to remember one more competition name, they will get one more ratings, and then they can make big money from the sponsors by stuffing the advertising slogans into the audience's heads.

It seems that the Daily Crown was chosen this time, but this is not surprising. It is normal for the Daily Crown, which is called the 'Super GII', to receive such treatment.

But the national broadcast will undoubtedly add more pressure to the horse racing ladies of this race. Although the central competition has the largest audience scale, it is only the GI that will attract national attention. Other local competitions must also support their own competitions. There are no television resources for you Tokyo gentlemen. It's good enough to give you a corner page in the newspaper. It's equivalent to the competitions below GI being divided among the princes across the country, but when it comes to GI, it's like the Zhou emperor raising his arm and everyone will go to take a look whether they like it or not.

Zhong Ming looked at Oguruma next to him, and Shining Glory and Fujimasa March also looked at her, worried that she might be under too much psychological pressure.

"Then, Kasamatsu can see it too, right?" Ogurimao looked up and asked Zhong Ming.

By the way, Oguruma's mother is in Kasamatsu... Zhong Ming nodded and said, "Of course."

"We need to run well." Xiao Limao said to Zhong Ming with a smile, "Everyone in my hometown is watching."

This smile, it seems that there is no need to worry about her psychological pressure. Zhong Ming's fighting spirit was also ignited in his heart. He was still thinking that he would have to wait for GI to become famous throughout Japan. It seems that he can speed up the process by a few months. After winning the daily crown, he will officially start the road to national domination.

Zhong Ming called Mi Yu into the room so that they wouldn't stand outside the door and feel the cold wind. He closed the door, opened the window and handed Mi Yu some hot tea. He couldn't help but wonder, "But why is this so sudden? I haven't heard of it before."

Mi Yu answered while holding the tea in his hand: "I heard it was because of the change of reign title."

Zhong Ming understood, which means that NHK felt that the death of the Emperor was really unlucky, so they quickly looked for something happy to cheer him up, and then they found the Daily Crown, right?

But that's definitely not the case, otherwise every single one of the NHK staff would have to bow 90 degrees and shout "Red Bean Paste Private Marseille" on the news tomorrow morning, and then be photographed by reporters with blinding flash lights, just like in ancient times when people were paraded through the streets and had rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves thrown in their faces.

"Mr. Zhong Ming, do you need any help? I can help you in the next two weeks." Mi Yu drank hot tea and whispered to Zhong Ming secretly. Zhong Ming had helped her so much, and now that the Mingwang team was in big trouble, he should stand up.

"I remember you also have a competition in March?"

"That was at the end of March." Mi Yu said quickly, "And in the previous few games, my results were pretty good, two wins and one three-pointer."

She had a smile on her face and looked very happy holding a cup of tea in her hand, looking very satisfied.

Xin Xin Guang Hui, who was listening at the side, quickly took out her phone and checked it. She found that there was indeed news about Mi Yu's victory. Her hands trembled immediately. She had only won one championship, while Mi Yu, who was part of the "1.4-meter incomplete running team", had won two championships, and the other one was a third. She immediately shouted in her heart, "This is betrayal!"

Xin Xin Guang Hui pressed Mi Yu's shoulder, forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, Mi Yu."

"Thank you!"

Zhong Ming angrily punched Xin Xin Guang Hui on the head and said, "Now it's your turn, you useless guy, to be at the bottom. You're planning to form a group with Mi Yu to film "Hot Girl at the Bottom", right?"

Zhong Ming did not refuse Mi Yu's help. He didn't need it now, but he might need her help in the future.

“Anyway, let’s train as usual today. Tomorrow we will be able to increase our strength after getting new running shoes. By then, the Sirius symbol will be nothing to mention!” Zhong Ming was full of confidence. Those three pairs of running shoes were the power of money!

"Oh!" The three people including Ogurt Hat also raised their hands and cheered.

Mi Yu couldn't help but smile on his small and delicate face as he looked at the lively scene in front of him. There were various training teams in Central Treson, some of which focused on competition results but were cold at other times, and some were simply teams that were like colleagues. However, it was the first time he saw a team that was so lively and crowded in a small room like the one in front of him. Whether they were eating cheap oden at a roadside stall or expensive sashimi at Ginza, they would probably look like this, right?

Mi Yu held the teacup and smiled, then suddenly looked at the barley tea in his hand and asked in confusion: "Speaking of which, was there barley tea before?"

Xiao Limao and the other two also blinked their eyes. How could their family have such a drink? Apart from occasionally buying them honey syrup and delicious carrots, Zhong Ming thought drinks were not as good as tap water. At least a ton of that stuff only cost a few dollars.

"Oh, that was a gift from Yae Wudi to me when I went to the dojo because he saw that I liked it. It tastes okay." Zhong Ming shrugged.

Yae Invincible... The four horse girls pondered for a moment after hearing the name.

Why does it feel like the atmosphere has suddenly changed a little? Zhong Ming thought as he looked at the expressions of the four people.
