Just then, Xu Zong's diary continued to update. However, his next sentence left everyone at a loss.
[Damn, no way. I finally get a piece of real horse information, and it's bad news.]
[I'm reminded of the Flop-Flop-chan's sticker. This draw went straight to a flop.]
[This ain't good, bro!]⁶
[Rice Shower.jpg!]
[Sigh, I didn't expect that the news I got was none other than Rice Shower's. Its real-life counterpart was so miserable. It died right on the racetrack, and a tragic death at that, in its final race.]
[How tragic was it at the time?]
[This was Rice Shower's last race. After finishing, regardless of victory or defeat, it could have enjoyed a peaceful retirement. But Rice Shower was so smart. It probably knew that its camp wanted it to win one more crown. So it ran with all its might, sprinted with all its might, wanting to win the cheers and glory it had been fighting for its whole life. But then the accident happened.]
[Its legs could no longer withstand such exertion. The moment it desperately accelerated, a loud crack of a bone fracture was heard from its left leg. In an instant, the entire horse, Rice Shower, fell heavily to the ground. It tried to stand up again, but from its left leg, the dislocated white bone had already pierced through its skin and was exposed, making it impossible for it to exert any force.]
[It lay dying on the slope of Kyoto, until finally its four legs could no longer stand upright, but were trembling uncontrollably from the intense pain.]
[And jockey Matoba, after being rescued and regaining consciousness, saw Rice Shower lying on the ground, unable to get up. He roared, 'Rice Shower can't be dead, I have to go see it,' and desperately tried to return to the racetrack, but was held back in the end.]
[Rice Shower died in front of him, becoming a lifelong nightmare for him. This scene would probably be a pain that would accompany him for the rest of his life.]
[I also saw in the real horse information that Rice Shower never made a mistake in its life. It had 6 wins in 25 races in its career, but in several GI victories, it was met with boos from the entire crowd.]
[Because it had prevented Mihono Bourbon's three consecutive victories and Mejiro McQueen's three consecutive victories.]
[The mainstream media at the time portrayed Rice Shower as a villain, saying that it was not a champion, but the villain who had shattered Mihono Bourbon's dream of a Triple Crown and Mejiro McQueen's grand achievement of three consecutive victories!]
[I was really angry after reading it. I just want to ask!]
[On what grounds?]
[Where is the villain?]
[Rice Shower stood on the racetrack precisely because it had overcome harsh training, precisely because it had overcome its inner fears, and overcome countless hardships.]
[Its victory was fair and square. These boos are a badge of honor in its career, and a disgrace to those who booed.]
[I can only say that those people at the time were really not good people. They had probably bet their money on the horse with two consecutive wins and were angry out of shame.]
[I can only say that gambling degenerates deserve to die.]
[After reading it, I also turned into the little crybaby Narita Top Road.]
[Sorry, Top Road, although I'm not as cute as you, I'm borrowing your name.]
[It's a pity I can't use stickers. Otherwise, adding the crying expression of Narita Top Road would be perfect. This guy doesn't have many stickers, but they are all gems.]
[Rice Shower, Matikanefukukitaru, Tokai Teio, and Matikane Tannhauser support the sticker world of horse girls.]
[No, wait, Tokai Teio should be a virtual idol.]
[I really like one of Tokai Teio's songs—"Red Sun."]
As Xu Zong wrote this, he also sighed. If he could go back in time, he would at least give those gamblers a big slap in the face. All he could say was that those gambling degenerates at the time were really not good people. It was just that he didn't weigh enough. Otherwise, he would have had to give them a dorm room UZI flying kick.⁷
[Fortunately, things can still be salvaged now. I can ensure that Rice Shower does not encounter such a thing. Maybe I can get some rewards to help the real-life horse.]
[I've said it long ago, I will never coexist with gambling and drugs.]
[Gamblers are crazy. There was a guy named Jotaro before. He even bet his own mother's life. Seriously, it's just that he didn't know that he had a distant uncle named Josuke Higashikata. Otherwise, he would have bet Josuke Higashikata's life too.]⁸
[I'm still good. I don't participate in these things at all.]
[Hmm? Wait, that's not right. On second thought, now that I've seen most of Rice Shower's real-life horse information and know that she ended the three-peat of McQueen and Mihono Bourbon, doesn't that mean I have to go and bet?]
[Damn, I'm a genius. This isn't even called gambling. I already know the results. This is just getting free money.]
[Just kidding. When I played "Shining! Pretty Derby!", I was known as the King of F2P in Cygames. How could I miss this opportunity?]
[I always get my premium currency from Uncle.]⁹
[I, Xu Zong, love Uncle the most!]
Xu Zong stopped writing here. But he might not necessarily go and bet. After all, he was training McQueen now. He had already given McQueen a lot of experience. And he knew that McQueen's opponent later on was Rice Shower, so he would definitely be prepared. Maybe McQueen could beat Rice Shower then?
Xu Zong was still thinking about this matter. However, what he didn't know was that the entire Tracen Academy was completely dumbfounded after seeing his log entry.
In the Tracen cafeteria.
Rice Shower's hand, holding her food, was frozen in mid-air. She stared at the log, dumbfounded. To be honest, Rice Shower had thought that she would see some explosive information, but she didn't know that she would see something this explosive. Trainer Xu Zong, you're playing for such high stakes?
For a moment, she was completely frozen in place, her eyes fixed on the news in the log, not moving at all. Others thought Rice Shower had turned to stone.
"The real-life Rice Shower... it died at the Kyoto Racecourse?" After a long while, Rice Shower finally reacted with extreme pain. But when she learned the cruel truth about her real-life counterpart and saw the painful description, her tears could no longer be held back and gushed out.
She gritted her teeth, her tears forming a continuous stream. She was extremely sad and extremely self-blaming. She even felt that it was because she was too unlucky that she had even affected her real-life counterpart. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Rice Shower kept repeating in her heart. Rice Shower is supposed to mean bringing happiness, but I didn't expect it to bring you so much misfortune.
And beside Rice Shower, many people were comforting her, all of them extremely anxious.
Only Gold Ship was crying her eyes out, even sadder than Rice Shower. "Rice Shower, your death was so tragic!!!" Gold Ship was crying and wailing, hugging Mejiro McQueen's leg, her tears streaming down.
Man, everyone was at a loss for words for a moment. Gold Ship was really emotional, but could you please read the room? Rice Shower was still alive right now.
For a moment, when Gold Ship started crying, Rice Shower couldn't hold it in anymore and also burst into tears. Mayano Top Gun also couldn't help it and started crying. Tosen Jordan, the little witch, was thinking of comforting Rice Shower, but now she couldn't help it either. In an instant, everyone was crying.
Tokai Teio held it in at first, but then she thought about Rice Shower's bone fracture and also started crying. She had never experienced a bone fracture, but it must be very painful.
McQueen, seeing that even Teio was crying, was about to cry too. But the chubby girl gritted her teeth. She was stronger than most people. Not at this time. As a celebrity of the Mejiro family, she had to try to comfort everyone. But McQueen couldn't move at all. Gold Ship was hugging her leg, and her snot was all over her leg. She was so angry.
Fortunately, Mejiro Palmer also came. She was very capable in handling matters and was surprisingly gentle when comforting the children.
Finally, after a long while, everyone felt better. Gold Ship's crying came and went quickly. She said that she would work hard in the races and give all the rewards to Rice Shower. But this was obviously not possible, but the thought was appreciated. Gold City was indeed a friend worth having.
However, when everyone was crying, Rice Shower also realized something. Because she had gotten a lot of tissues from the lottery, she didn't expect them to come in handy now. She immediately took them out, and everyone wiped their tears. Who said tissues were useless? Who said the tissues Rice Shower got were useless? Stand up and apologize immediately!
Rice Shower then began to read the log content carefully. And every piece of information in it made her heart pound. Her expression began to change dramatically, sometimes surprised, sometimes touched, and sometimes about to cry again.
However, every time Rice Shower wanted to cry, she found that Gold Ship had already started crying before her. She was at a loss. By the way, there was also Winning Ticket, who cried from beginning to end, unable to stop, as if she had eaten Stride gum.¹⁰
So, that's why Xu Zong would never be willing to join the Mejiro family. Tracen was full of characters.
And when Rice Shower read on and found out that she was not liked by everyone, she would definitely be a little upset. She didn't know why what awaited her were boos from the entire crowd. Is Rice Shower a child that no one wants?
At first, when she knew that she had defeated Mihono Bourbon and McQueen, she felt very honored. But she didn't expect to be disliked by the audience and considered a spoiler. She was really sad and was about to get depressed.
But fortunately, Rice Shower had already changed. After thinking about the end of her real-life counterpart, her eyes immediately became firm. She had to work even harder because she had inherited the will of her real-life counterpart. The race it did not finish, Rice Shower would definitely do it.
And in the log, she felt Trainer Xu Zong's concern for her. She looked around, and everyone was surrounding her in a circle. Even Rudolf had come, very gentle, stroking Rice Shower's head. Rice Shower... is not a child that no one wants. Rice Shower still has everyone.
"Bourbon-san, can you train with me this afternoon?" Rice Shower wiped her eyes, then looked up at Mihono Bourbon, a hint of determination in her eyes.
"Signal received, programming time. Program confirmed, affirmative," Mihono Bourbon sat up straight. She had actually been observing Rice Shower's discovery all along. When she found that Rice Shower was not sad but had been roused, she was very happy and also relieved. She was really worried that Rice Shower would be affected, because she was not good at comforting people.
And in Rice Shower's exposure, Mihono Bourbon also saw the news about her real-life counterpart. To be honest, she was also very pleasantly surprised. She was ended by Rice Shower in her three-peat, which meant that she had won the first two races. Mihono Bourbon shook her head again. No, no, the real-life horse is the real-life horse, and she is she. She still had to work hard, train hard, and strive to complete her dream.
McQueen was the same. She didn't expect to be spoiled. But then she also shook her head. The real-life horse was different from the horse girl. Although there was a certain connection, she would definitely run even better.
And at the same time, some people were puzzled by the content in Xu Zong's log. Some words were completely incomprehensible. Matikane Tannhauser tilted her head and said, "Um, what does 'sticker' mean? Are they the ones used for chatting online?"
Matikanefukukitaru explained with great energy, "That's right, Tannhauser-san! Look, Fuku-chan makes her own stickers. It's very simple. You just have to take a selfie video first, then cut out a part, and add text."
"But Fuku-chan finds it strange. Are my stickers also popular in the real-life horse world?"
Fuku-chan thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out. She was already dizzy, her CPU completely burned out. However, Matikanefukukitaru's perspective was too narrow. The fans in the real-life horse world not only had her stickers, but had long since started using her stickers for sticker battles. A classic saying: Without a Flop-Flop-chan sticker, I feel so inferior.
"Hehe, Twin Turbo can make stickers too, Tannhauser-san. Look, this is the one I made." Twin Turbo, the editing genius, had actually made one of Matikane Tannhauser. And Twin Turbo really had a talent. She directly captured the characteristics of Tannhauser's stickers. The essence of this sticker was that Twin Turbo had captured Tannhauser's intelligent expression very well, directly creating a world-famous painting.
"By the way, Narita Top Road-san sometimes cries secretly when she loses a race. We can take a picture next time and make it into a sticker," TM Opera O said directly, making Narita Top Road blush.
"Wh-where... I don't cry, okay? Absolutely not!" Narita Top Road puffed out her cheeks, very cute.
But Narita Top Road was also very scared in her heart. Would Trainer Xu Zong really get a picture of her little crybaby expression from somewhere one day? Then she would lose face all the way to her grandmother's house. She swore that if Trainer Xu Zong dared to post her stickers, she would definitely drag him to the basement, with no room for negotiation. Hmph, the little boat of our friendship, you'd better watch it, Trainer Xu Zong.
Tokai Teio was very strange. "Then why do you call me a virtual idol? And what is 'Red Sun'?"
However, Twin Turbo analyzed it again. "A virtual idol is using Teio's voice to simulate singing. As for 'Red Sun,' I don't know. It's probably a song from Trainer Xu Zong's world."
Rudolf, after hearing this, also found it novel. The people in the real-life horse world were really talented, one more than the other. These guys could come up with so many new things. They must be very amazing people. However, what Rudolf didn't know was that the people who could come up with these things, let's not talk about whether they were amazing or not, but they were definitely characters.
And Rudolf was also very detailed. She noticed a sentence in Trainer Xu Zong's diary. That was that Rice Shower's four legs could not stand... Could it be that real-life horses have four legs? She was both puzzled and curious in her heart. It would be great if she could meet her real-life counterpart one day. She also wanted to see what expression the real-life Rudolf would have when it saw her. "It must be very humorous too," Rudolf nodded confidently.
And as for Mejiro Palmer, seeing Xu Zong's words, she was also speechless. "You say it nicely, what 'never coexist with gambling and drugs'?"
"You don't mention 'yellow' (adult content) at all!"
And Mejiro Palmer also saw Kujo Jotaro. This guy was too vicious, directly betting his own mother's soul. What a filial son. She was calling him a talent in her heart. She never expected there to be such a guy.
