The remaining new glory had already tucked into bed and was sleeping peacefully. It would be better for her not to get involved in such a matter as an opponent with the strongest active player. Didn’t she see that Tamamo Cross almost had the fighting spirit of a burden? If I had gone up and ran, I would have been struck to death by the white lightning!

"Okay, then we should go to bed. We have training tomorrow." Zhong Ming clapped his hands.

……

In the early morning, due to the arrival of spring, the cedar trees all over the streets of Japan began to shed pollen, and the Japanese also began to wear masks as a spring routine. Fortunately, Zhong Ming and the other three did not have hay fever, so they did not need to train in wearing masks, otherwise they would be very uncomfortable.

"Really... do I have to keep doing this kind of training?" Brand New Glory grabbed the rings with both hands and pushed herself upwards. But after just a few minutes, she felt her arms were so sore that she almost lost consciousness.

This is a park one kilometer away from Oshino Hakkai. Zhong Ming does some morning training here after arriving at Oshino Hakkai.

"If the arms are not strong, they cannot move the body and the balance will also become poor." Zhong Ming said. Oguruma and Fujimasa March next to him also supported their hands on the secret code with their legs spread to keep their balance. Sweat continued to fall on their faces and gathered at their chins before falling down. However, both of them were very serious. After all, they were stimulated by Tamamo Cross yesterday, and now they must be full of energy.

Mi Yu, who trained with the Mingwang team every day, naturally did not fall behind. Although she was a little hesitant when Zhong Ming invited her, she agreed because she was quite familiar with Zhong Ming. She also held the rings like Xin Xin Guanghui.

But why is she so absent-minded? Did something happen to her? Zhong Ming looked at Mi Yu curiously, thinking about something with a trance-like expression.

Is there someone you like?

Chapter 245: Mi Yu's Request

Although Mi Yu is a horse racing girl, she is also a teenage girl. It is normal for a girl of this age to fall in love with a boy next door or a senior in school. Wait... she lives in Tresen and the central area is full of horse racing girls, so where do the opposite sex come from?

Zhong Ming thought for a moment, and seeing that Mi Yu was still absent-minded, he walked over to Xin Guanghui, who looked weak as if he had diarrhea, and asked in a low voice: "Have you heard about what happened to Mi Yu recently, such as the person he likes, or his poor grades?"

The new brilliance had a green face and hung limply on the ring like a young piece of bacon. He weakly replied, "Ah? Mi Yu... the person you like? I haven't heard of it."

"Could it be related to academic performance?" Zhong Ming asked again.

"I shouldn't have that worry. I heard that their grade's theoretical scores are at the bottom, so they shouldn't have any problems in this regard." The New Glory grabbed the rings tightly and tried to push up, twisting its body in the air without any beauty.

"It's not like everyone is like you who can relax just because someone is at the bottom."

"How rude! You're holding me back. After all, I'm one of the top three students in theory in my grade." Brand New Glory said dissatisfiedly. Although she was not good at practical training, she was a top-notch genius in theory.

"Study master, then go and ask Mi Yu what happened." Zhong Ming patted her shoulder and said. Xin Xin Guanghui had just reached the limit of her arm endurance. If Zhong Ming hadn't said anything, she would have fallen down. But Zhong Ming had finally asked her for help, so naturally she had to push her a little further.

"I...I want to live together in a beautiful villa instead of sleeping with tigers in the mountains."

"Okay." Zhong Ming said. After all, the system gave him a B-level item exchange voucher, so it didn't matter if he used it to exchange for a training camp ticket.

"Really? I'll go ask her then!" Xin Xin Guang Hui quickly got down from the rings. She fell on her butt because her arms were too weak. But she stood up, patted her butt, and hurried to find Mi Yu.

Zhong Ming also took this opportunity to see what new things were updated in the Uma Musume shop. It was already GII, so it was time for some good stuff.

[Superior Horseshoe: It is lightweight and high quality, better than the 'durable horseshoe'. It is a horseshoe specially used for racing, but it is easy to be damaged in terms of durability. Price: B-level horse girl achievement, 600,000 yen.]

[Skill Disc: After using it on a Uma Musume, you can quickly learn the skills on the disc. Note: Skills need to be purchased separately and burned into the disc. Price: A-level Uma Musume achievement, 3 million yen.]

[Legendary skill - Curve Expert: Better at curves, a skill that only high-level horse girls can use, and needs to be used with the 'Skill Disc'. Price: A-level horse girl achievement, 2 million yen.]

[Honey Delicacy: A delicacy made of honey and carrots, which doubles the training results of the horse girl during training (cannot be used as a stimulant), higher than "honey syrup", with a 40% chance of causing harmless symptoms such as drunkenness, excitement, and high estrus. Price: B-level horse girl achievement, million yen.]

[Recovery medicine: a box of 40 pieces, lemon-flavored white pills, which can speed up the recovery of physical strength after use. It can be used at most twice a day. If the horse girl uses it more than three times, the female hormone level may increase. Price: B-level horse girl achievement, million yen.]

[Gravity vest: A vest that can freely adjust the weight, one of the essential props for training. Price: C-rank Uma Musume achievement, 150,000 yen.]

The first time Zhong Ming saw it, he felt - it's so expensive!

It was so expensive that Zhong Ming's eyes almost popped out. He thought that with the 700 to 800 million yen he had, he was already a small rich man. Unexpectedly, the system put an upper-class store in front of him and told him that he was still a poor country boy and had to earn money slowly.

Almost all of them are props worth over one million or B-grade. I am telling you clearly - poor people should not buy them!

What a stupid price the system filled in. Don’t you know that Japan’s economy is not doing well now? Just read the air and lower the price back to 10,000 yen so that everyone can just laugh and it will be over... Zhong Ming cursed in his heart, but the system was still silent like a dead person.

system:"……"

Seeing that scolding had no effect, Zhong Ming could only continue to look at the props in the store. After thinking for a moment, he believed that the most needed item should be 'Good Horseshoes', followed by 'Gravity Vest', and finally 'Honey Delicacies' and 'Recovery Medicine'. As for cheating props such as 'Skill Discs', Zhong Ming would not use them. Like the 'Exotic Sweets' that appeared before, they were all things that could easily improve one's strength.

Zhong Ming does not need this kind of props. What he wants is to dominate Japan with his own strength and hard work, rather than using the system's cheating tools. If Zhong Ming really wants to use these props, he might as well go home and carve a "Japan Domination Trophy" for himself. Anyway, he can satisfy himself, and getting a broken gold-plated trophy is enough. But what Zhong Ming wants is a real victory. Although he may fail along the way, this kind of uncertainty is what life is all about. People who don't have the courage to face the turbulent life and only want to use cheating to get results are definitely wastes.

There was a vivid example in front of Zhong Ming. Although Shining Glory complained bitterly during every training session, she never dreamed that she could surpass Oguruma and Fujimasa March by just sleeping or dreaming. Instead, she trained down to earth. If Zhong Ming used these props, she might laugh at him.

"A good horseshoe is a bit expensive and not durable, but the gravity vest is okay..." Zhong Ming muttered. If the 'Honey Delicacies' and 'Recovery Medicine' were not too expensive, he would have put these two in the ranks of the most valuable items. It's a pity that the system is not kind enough to set the prices so high.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ming opened Amazon on his mobile phone to check how much the related sports recovery products cost. After typing the name in the search bar, the product page appeared. After seeing the row of zeros, Zhong Ming hesitated for a few seconds.

…Let’s not blame the system this time.

Stupid...well, the system seems to be quite conscientious this time.

Just as Zhong Ming finished looking at the Uma Musume shop, Shining Glory next to him came running back to report: "General, Mi Yu is fine. It's better to say that she is in good shape. She also recently ran to GII and is very strong."

"Then why does she look so absent-minded?" Zhong Ming asked curiously.

"Maybe it's because spring has arrived. After all, teenage girls are at the age when they feel sad about the passing of time. I'm at that age too." Xin Xin Guanghui said with a long look in his eyes.

"You're probably out of training." Zhong Ming said, but since Mi Yu didn't say anything, it shouldn't be a big deal, and he didn't hear any news from Rudolf.

Today is the debut match of the Emperor of the East China Sea. Zhong Ming promised her that he would pay attention to it, so after returning home from training, he turned on the computer and started watching the live broadcast. The Emperor of the East China Sea is running an OP competition one level below the heavy reward. The debut matches of Umamusume are basically at this level. The Mingwang team did not need to run the OP competition because they entered the central team with the prestige of East China Sea Darby and could directly participate in the heavy reward. However, even if they participated, they would basically be crushed.

The Emperor of the East Sea was obviously the most watched player in this OP battle. As a super rising star prepared by Central Treson, he was targeted by other players right from the start. However, the Emperor of the East Sea was more than capable of participating in the big reward, and he easily won the debut battle with a margin of four horse lengths.

"Quite impressive." Zhong Ming touched his chin and nodded. It turned out to be the successor that Rudolf symbol often mentioned. She often said that if it was the Emperor of the East China Sea, it would be very likely that he would achieve an undefeated triple crown after her. Now it seems to be true.

Zhong Ming also noticed that Mejiro McQueen also ran his debut battle on that day. Although he won the championship by only one length, the gap between him and the third place was an astonishing ten lengths, which reminded the audience of Ming Wang's battle at the Takarazuka Kinen. These two, one is the symbolic successor of Rudolph, and the other is the eldest daughter of the Mejiro family. They have been enthusiastically portrayed as rivals on the Internet.

Maybe I will meet them in the next competition, Zhong Ming thought.

Zhong Ming was just thinking about it when he heard the ringing of his cell phone. Was it Aunt Takahashi calling?

I have completed the work assigned by the board of directors, why did she call me?

"Zhong Ming, are you bad at math?"

Zhong Ming was dissatisfied. Why did you start scolding people as soon as you came? You thought I wouldn’t talk back, right? Have you forgotten how many people were cried by my scolding on the court?

"I looked at the schedule you sent me. If you want to catch up with the Japan Derby in May, you are exactly one point short." Director Takahashi sighed.

“What!?” Zhong Ming was stunned, and quickly opened his notes to take a look, and found that it was true. He was busy until late at night a few days ago and his head was dizzy, so he calculated wrongly. It turned out that he was still a little short of points, but he had already packed a lot of competitions. If there were more, it might have a negative impact on the three horse girls of the Mingwang team.

"Is there any way?" Zhong Ming asked hurriedly.

"Why don't you just let Ming Wang go and do the GI? Don't disturb my rest with such simple questions." Director Takahashi said calmly.

If you take more rest, you will still be an old lady in your forties! Zhong Ming rolled his eyes. Although her figure and face were still good, she was still an old lady.

Zhong Ming was in a state of hesitation. He didn't want King Ming to participate in the competition again.

"Well...I can help!"

Zhong Ming heard a voice next to his ear and turned around to see Mi Yu standing next to him holding a sports suit.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot my sportswear here so I heard your conversation, it was not intentional." Mi Yu waved his hand quickly, scratched his face and looked at Zhong Ming carefully and said, "If you need a competition, I can help, just run GII!"

She obviously took a few deep breaths before mustering up the courage to say such a sentence.

"Just, just consider it as a birthday present for Mr. Zhong Ming!"

Chapter 246: Kowtow

"birthday present?"

Zhong Ming was stunned for a moment, and heard the voice of Director Takahashi coming from the other end of the phone: "Your birthday is March 30th. Although I know you don't take your birthday very seriously, I didn't expect that you still don't care about it after several years."

"Stop talking nonsense and give me a gift." Zhong Ming asked bluntly.

"I've ordered a cake from the Western-style cake shop downstairs from your house. You can pick it up yourself when the time comes. As for the points, you can arrange it yourself. It's up to you whether you want to go to the Japan Derby or not." After the call was finished, there was a "click" and the sound of a text message was heard again.

Zhong Ming opened the message, took a look at it and curled his lips. Ordering a 20,000 yen birthday cake for you as a director is too stingy, and it’s strawberry and cream. Are you a high school girl?

After turning off his phone, Zhong Ming looked at Mi Yu who looked worried and said, "So you looked absent-minded this morning because you were thinking about my birthday?"

"Ah, yes. I've been thinking about it for a long time because Mr. Zhong Ming's birthday is listed on the official website of Central Treson. But I've never thought of a suitable gift. After all, Mr. Zhong Ming has helped me so much, I can't just pick a gift and give it away..." Mi Yu scratched his face.

"Don't think too much about this kind of thing. Anyway, I don't have the habit of celebrating my birthday." Zhong Ming waved his hand indifferently, sat cross-legged and looked at Mi Yu and said, "But you said you would help us run, so you have to join the Mingwang team too."

"Ah... I'm not ready yet, but I can join the Ming Wang team on a rental basis, and then naturally withdraw after the game is over." Mi Yu said in a panic, "If someone like me joins the Ming Wang team, it will definitely not bring any good things."

"There's no need to be so humble... Since you said so, I'll accept your help. Let's choose - the Hanshin Cup on March 30th!" Zhong Ming said.

Mi Yu swallowed his saliva and nodded vigorously: "I will try my best!"

At this time, the bathroom door was opened, and Xiaolimao and the other two came out with towels wiping their wet hair. Because the room was not big, the conversation between Zhong Ming and Mi Yu could be heard in the bathroom. Xiaolimao asked expectantly, "Is Mi Yu going to join the Mingwang team?"

"I think it's almost the same as joining." Fujimasa marched. After all, Miyu trained with them early in the morning every day, and never missed a time to go to the mountains for training. Although one of those times was due to being in trouble, from outsiders' perspective, Miyu is already a member of the Mingwang team, and the same goes for the excellent qualities of the other one who is still lying in bed.

Xin Xin Guang Hui happily hugged Mi Yu and said, "Then let's sleep together for the next few days. Move the table in the middle of the room so there will be room for the quilt."

Mi Yu was a little flustered. If a stranger had been so enthusiastic, she would have probably run away long ago. But the people in Mingwang Team were all acquaintances, so she was not so nervous and nodded and agreed with a tense face.

"Great!" Xin Xin Guang Hui looked happy, but also a little surprised as he looked at Zhong Ming: "Come to think of it, March 30th is Tuolena's birthday?"

“Don’t you know anything?” Mi Yu looked at the three horse girls from the Mingwang team in shock with confused looks on their faces. Who are the members of the Mingwang team?

The three horse girls looked at each other and scratched their heads. Zhong Ming also felt that he was not qualified as a trainer. He coughed lightly and said, "When is your birthday?"

"March 27th." Xiaoli Hat.

"May 22nd." Brand new glory.

"April 5th." Fujimasa March.

"I see. I've got that in mind." Zhong Ming crossed his arms and nodded.

This conversation made Mi Yu, who was standing next to them, speechless - is this the first time you meet? Do you need to say each other's names?

If Mi Yu hadn't known that they had a very close relationship, he would have thought they were strangers. There was no other team like them in the Central Committee.

But this is probably the unique atmosphere of the Ming Wang team, right? This kind of leisurely and tense style, everyone works together to grope forward... Mi Yu looked at Zhong Ming who was taking notes, and the corners of his mouth rose.

Zhong Ming was looking at the notebook in her hand. There were only two games left in March. One was the Fujimasa March on the 25th which was delayed due to the earthquake. As long as she maintained a normal physical condition, she could win the game. The other was Mi Yu's Hanshin Cup. There was a problem with this game. It was not a problem of strength, but that it was the first time for Zhong Ming's Mingwang team to compete at the Hanshin Racecourse, and the environment there was completely unfamiliar.

"Hasn't Zhong Ming been to Osaka?" asked Ogurumao. She was sitting opposite Zhong Ming, with Fujimasa behind her helping her blow-dry her hair. She would also help Fujimasa blow-dry his hair later.

Hanshin Racecourse is located in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, which is part of the Osaka metropolitan area, one of the three major metropolitan areas in Japan along with Tokyo and Nagoya.

People in Osaka are called the Chinese in Japan. People in other places, especially upper-class cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, basically comment on Osaka as "noisy", "the most unruly Japanese", "too individualistic", etc. Zhong Ming should have had some good feelings about this city because it was somewhat similar to China, but his experience there was not very good.

"It seems that they had a fight with the Osaka police?" Fujimasa asked curiously.

"Police!?" Mi Yu was shocked.

"Why don't we just ask the Tokyo police and find out what happened?" Shining Glory chuckled. Anyway, the two places have always looked down on each other, so if there is any scandal, just ask the other side directly.

"Ah, that's not my fault, okay... I did go a little too far, but it's only because they misunderstood. Don't ask about it. I heard before that a policeman from Tokyo was asked about a case while passing by Osaka by chance, and was dragged into the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters by a superintendent and beaten up." Zhong Ming scratched his head.

It must be a big deal, and it was very embarrassing, otherwise a superintendent wouldn't be so angry. What on earth did Zhong Ming do? The four horse racing girls thought.

Going to Osaka is also at the end of the month. Zhong Ming is now thinking about how to continue training. After all, the things in the Uma Musume shop are really good and he can make good use of them.

Zhong Ming thought about it and bought four 'gravity vests' from the store. He still pretended to go downstairs to get a package and then carried it up. He opened it under the curious gazes of the four horse racing girls and found that it was a relatively thin black vest with many long pockets. There were also some black strips in the box.

These strips are used to adjust the weight, but I didn't expect them to be so simple. Zhong Ming thought it would be more high-tech, but he didn't feel any weight when he picked up one of the black strips.

After putting a black vest on the confused Xin Guanghui, Zhong Ming tried to insert two long black strips into the vest. Then he saw Xin Guanghui kneel down on the spot, prostrating himself, and banging his white forehead hard on the tatami, making a huge, dull sound that could be heard from the 50 meters around Zhong Ming's house.

Seems... a bit too much? Zhong Ming thought as he looked at the black strip in his hand.

Chapter 247 Something is wrong

There were hurried footsteps outside the room, and the management lady on the first floor of the apartment hurried over and knocked on the door: "Hello, I think I heard some noise coming from here, is there any problem?"

In her eyes, Zhong Ming was a model of an excellent resident. He would greet her when he went up and down the stairs. She was not worried that this humble young man would suddenly go crazy and do something insane. Instead, she was worried that he would be forced by the horse racing girl who lived with him to sign a marriage application form. She had encountered many such things in her more than ten years of work experience.

After a few seconds, Zhong Ming opened the door and said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. It's just that Xin Xin Guang Hui was trying to crack a walnut with his forehead. I'm sorry if I disturbed others."

Shining Glory is also a horse racing girl that the management aunt sees every day. Usually when she sees her smiling foolishly, she thinks she is a little stupid, but she didn't expect that she would actually do something like smashing walnuts with her head. The management aunt poked her head into the room, and in addition to Shining Glory who was kneeling on the ground with her forehead covered, she saw the other three horse racing girls.

There are more contestants. Trainer Zhong Ming is quite popular. I wonder who will win in the end... no, who will win the prize?

Every year there is a good show about horse girls and trainers.

After the management lady saw that everything was fine, she nodded to Zhong Ming and left. Zhong Ming waited for her to go downstairs, closed the door, turned around and looked at the new light, muttering: "Does it hurt so much?"

“It must hurt!” Xin Xin Guang Hui covered his forehead with his hands, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. He stuffed the black vest he took off into Zhong Ming’s hands and said angrily, “If you’re a burden, then try putting it on!”

Although it was indeed very heavy, she could bear it. It was probably like carrying two bicycles on her back. It should not be a problem for a horse girl to hold it up with her strength. But she was not prepared and didn't pay attention, so she knelt down and kowtowed her head very loudly.

Under the gaze of several horse racing girls in the room, Zhong Ming also put on the black vest. After all, he was quite curious about the effect of this item. At this time, Xin Xin Guanghui looked up with his eyes flashing, and inserted eight black strips between his fingers into the black vest on Zhong Ming's body.

I have never seen Tuolei's embarrassing look before, let me see it today, kneel down, Tuolei!
