Xu Zong set off with Mejiro Ardan. He didn't actually know that Chairwoman Akikawa had changed their destination because she had read his diary. The original plan was just to go shopping on the outskirts of Tokyo, but now she was taking everyone to a resort park near Amanohashidate in the Tokyo countryside. The whole bus ride would only take about an hour.
It was said that the area was a forest, and the entire resort was situated within it, surrounded by lakes. The scenery was beautiful, and it was a popular destination for many people.
Chairwoman Akikawa had actually known about this place for a long time, originally planning to take everyone there for the Summer Festival. This was just moving the schedule up. She knew the facilities there were excellent, with an arcade, various PC and console games, billiards, crane machines, and more. This game center was also part of a Tokyo chain, so many of the horse girls could use their own points. She had many other options for the Summer Festival location, so she wasn't worried. She decided to deal with the matter at hand first.
Xu Zong didn't think much of it. After all, Chairwoman Akikawa was known for her wild ideas and spontaneous decisions, so he didn't ask questions and found it quite normal.
"Hey, Trainer Xu, Ardan-san, over here, over here!"
In front of the bus, Maruzensky waved happily, signaling for them to come forward.
"Sorry, we're late. Is everyone here?"
"Not at all, everyone else just arrived too. We can leave as soon as you're on."
"Then let's get on. By the way, Maruzensky, I have a question. Do you get carsick? Are you sure you'll be okay?"
Xu Zong asked with concern. He knew Maruzensky was a fast driver, whose foot on the gas pedal often made countless horse girls tremble in fear. But she was a classic glass cannon; the moment she sat in the passenger seat, she'd get dizzy.
Xu Zong suddenly wondered if the old lady Maruzensky wasn't just bad in the passenger seat, but turned into a total weakling whenever she was just a passenger in any vehicle.
"Of course not! I'm Maruzensky, you know. You're underestimating me, Trainer Xu. Just watch me later, there won't be any problems at all."
Maruzensky was very confident.
"Driving and being a passenger are two different things," Xu Zong said with a shrug. As he was speaking, Sakura Chiyono O walked over and added, "That's right, Maruzensky-san. I have some motion sickness patches here. You should put one on. I brought them especially for you."
As it happens, the real Maruzensky was Sakura Chiyono O's sire, and he was an object of her admiration. That's why she was so concerned and caring towards Maruzensky.
"No need, no need. I'm curious to see what kind of speed it would take to make me feel sick."
The old lady Maruzensky had her stubborn pride. She was indeed super brave.
"Alright, alright."
Xu Zong figured she might actually be fine as a passenger, so he didn't press the issue and returned to his seat. Maruzensky happened to be sitting in front of them.
At this time, the bus quickly departed, heading towards the resort center. Everyone was looking forward to what they would get to play.
Xu Zong chatted with everyone for a while at the beginning. The most amusing part was that Chairwoman Akikawa actually wanted to go up and sing a song. She used to be a horse girl herself and probably hadn't been on the winner's stage for a long time. She even pulled Tazuna along with her.
"Hahahaha, everyone, Tazuna and I will show you what we've got to liven up the atmosphere."
Chairwoman Akikawa snapped her fan shut, and everyone applauded. She was very happy, and while Tazuna was setting up the music, she even invited other horse girls to come up and dance with them.
"Can I join? Then I'll dance too, Chairwoman-san!"
Matikanefukukitaru raised her hand. It seemed she also wanted to be a horse girl with personality, but she felt that this was too ordinary. Fuku-chan thought about these things, but her expression was still cute. Anyway, she'd dance first and think later. Besides, Matikanefukukitaru had a very good impression of Chairwoman Akikawa, and the Chairwoman had repeatedly said that she would surely accomplish great things. This must be the mutual appreciation between father and son.
"Since we're dancing, how can you not include me? Audience, all eyes on me! This is my showtime!"
Dancing City also came up. This was a professional. Her motto was: Cheers, fame, money—she wanted it all. But since she was dancing for everyone, it was naturally free of charge.
"Marvelous! Truly Marvelous! I'm coming too!"
Marvelous Sunday also rushed up, followed by Mejiro Palmer. These two mischievous kids loved joining in on the fun.
Chairwoman Akikawa was overjoyed and laughed loudly, "Wakaka, Tazuna, with so many people, this will definitely be fun."
Mejiro Palmer also said cutely, "Necha-san, come join us! Chairwoman Akikawa said this time we're doing a random animal dance. It's super fun, the dance moves must be very cute."
Necha, however, had a wry expression and waved her hand, "Ahaha, Necha-san is old now. You guys go ahead and dance."
Necha was still shy. She couldn't bring herself to act cute like a little animal in front of everyone.
However, Matikanefukukitaru waved her small hand cutely, "Necha-san, everyone from Team Canopus is here. Guess who's missing?"
Only then was Nice Nature stunned. What, how did everyone else get up there?
Half-pushed, half-willing, she was led by Chairwoman Akikawa and began the journey of the random animal dance.
The random animal dance involved randomly playing a few songs about animals, and everyone had to imitate the animal's movements. It was relaxed and fun, and also tested imagination and reaction time. It was basically Stamina -5, Intelligence +5.
Soon, the cute animal BGM started to play.
The first song was a very heartwarming Japanese children's song, "Inu no Omawari-san" (The Doggy Policeman), a story about a little kitten looking for a doggy policeman.
A cheerful children's voice rang out.
Chairwoman Akikawa and Tazuna were familiar with it and made cat-like poses. The other horse girls hadn't reacted yet, but they immediately focused their attention.
Soon, the random BGM changed to a tiger.
This time, everyone's reaction was fast.
Matikanefukukitaru, Twin Turbo, Necha-san, Tokai Teio, Hishi Akebono, Special Week, and others followed Tazuna and the Chairwoman's movements, opening their hands, raising them to make claw shapes, and letting out a little "rawr." That's a tiger, right? Matikanefukukitaru's version was very cute, Necha-san wasn't as unrestrained, Spe-chan was in extra-fierce mode, and as for Hishi Akebono, every move was perfect. That was a professional for you. Dancing City, on the other hand, gave off a different feeling, like an elegant tiger queen.
Silent Suzuka, Narita Taishin, and others applauded. More people joined in midway; Grass Wonder also went up for a dance.
The BGM changed to a rabbit.
Marvelous Sunday and Mejiro Palmer changed their hand gestures to a 'V' shape, holding them above their heads to look like rabbit ears. Hishi Akebono was amazing; she was already improvising, making a radish-pulling motion with a super cute expression, but it seemed she couldn't pull it out. Oh no, oh no. Spe-chan and Necha-san did the same move, imitating Hishi Akebono. It must be said, Kitasan Black's on-stage improv skills were excellent, a result of accumulated experience.
For a moment, although it was just a short dance, it made the atmosphere on the bus very warm.
Everyone soon returned to their seats.
"Ikuno Dictus-san, I didn't expect your dancing to be so cute. I've hardly seen you dance before," Twin Turbo said with a grin.
"Hmm? I've been practicing too," Ikuno Dictus pushed up her glasses.
"You danced well," McQueen also commented with a smile. It should be known that McQueen and Ikuno Dictus are "husband and wife" in the real world. The real Mejiro McQueen loved to stick close to Ikuno Dictus. If you didn't watch him for a moment, he would just sidle over to her, showing their affection. And McQueen and Ikuno Dictus are also roommates, which was a deliberate arrangement by Cygames. It's also normal for McQueen and Teio to be a couple in the second season of the anime. The two horses were the most popular presences in the 1992 era. The "TM Showdown" at that time drew huge crowds. They were fated rivals and also sources of mutual inspiration.
By the way, speaking of Mejiro McQueen, the Mejiro family was once extremely glorious but later declined. The Mejiro Farm no longer exists, which is truly regrettable. If Mejiro McQueen, Mejiro Palmer, Mejiro Ryan, Mejiro Bright, and other horse girls knew this news, what would they feel?
However, although the Mejiro Farm declined, the story of the Mejiro family is passionate enough to inspire countless people. And although McQueen's bloodline also declined, his paternal line was not broken. His son, Ginza Green Grass, although he had only 3 wins in 109 starts in his career, also became a stallion for the Mejiro family after retirement, continuing this oldest paternal line native to Japan. However, none of Ginza Green Grass's offspring have yet won in the central circuit. One can only hope that a horse will emerge to restore the glory of the Mejiro family. At the same time, what is sad is that Mejiro McQueen's son, Ginza Green Grass, also passed away from illness on December 22, 2023. Coincidentally, McQueen died of heart failure, and his son Ginza Green Grass also died of heart disease.
"Thank you, McQueen-san. You were in a hurry this morning, so I helped you put out the incense and tidied up your bed. I put some of your clothes in the cabinet next to it. If you can't find them, you can ask me."
Ikuno Dictus also said gently, embodying the image of a virtuous and amiable wife.
"Huh?!!! I forgot? Thank you."
McQueen was stunned for a moment, then said gratefully. She would light the incense her grandmother gave her when she slept, filling the room with fragrance. Ikuno Dictus also liked the smell, so they would light it before bed every night. But McQueen probably didn't sleep well last night and forgot to turn it off when she woke up.
"McQueen, have fun," Tokai Teio also went up and danced a bit. She had a great time.
"Eh, I saw you dancing, Teio. If I had known, I would have gone up too. It looked quite difficult," McQueen also smiled gently, maintaining the elegance of a plump horse. Although she reached 600kg after retirement, she was still running hard now.
"Not at all, it was super easy!" this little rascal Teio commented. What's this called? Next time, she'll still fill in 'very simple'!
At this time, Xu Zong also smiled. He activated his thought diary. He had received it before and had a few more uses. He had been saving it for an emergency like this. He now started to write in his diary.
[I just got on the bus. I didn't expect to see Chairwoman Akikawa and Secretary Tazuna come up to dance on the winner's stage, and it was a random animal dance. Everyone had a great time. Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka also fed me. This trainer's life is pretty sweet.]
[This past month, I've gotten along well with everyone. After the dance, that little rascal Teio said with full energy—"Super easy!" I really want to make Teio play her URA scenario. Repeating the 'Stamina +30' event with Mejiro Palmer every day, she'd probably have a brain hemorrhage too. Still super easy? You try it and see.]
[I can only say that Cygames' game is too much of a prison. Everyone has quieted down a bit now. I thought we would just chat like this and then go to Amanohashidate to play. But some genius suggested watching yesterday's video of Manhattan Cafe and started playing "Tracen Zero-Yen Purchase."
[Good grief, I'm impressed. It made Manhattan Cafe completely unable to handle it. I saw her face turn as red as an apple. She was probably about to explode from embarrassment. If there was a crack in the ground, she would probably jump in without hesitation. Everyone, stop watching, give my girl Manhattan Cafe a break.]
[Toho Jackal thought it was very interesting. She kept asking me if I had a magical girl transformation video. She wanted to shoot one too, to become an internet celebrity. She wants to be the number one magician on the entire internet.]
[I said I didn't have one. She grabbed my arm and whined "No, no!" for thirty seconds. I'm dizzy. I just want to say one thing: someone save me! Go get the old ancestor Ikee!]
[Everyone is now discussing what to play later. They've all become gaming experts. And everyone said they want to play with Urara. She is very, very happy. It seems she's really the group's pet.]
[Speaking of games and Manhattan Cafe, I suddenly thought of Ogura Yui. Isn't she also the Japanese voice actress for March 7th? Back then, I was in both the Star Rail and Uma Musume prisons. I wonder if they've reached Penacony yet. March 7th should persuade Stelle to stop rummaging through trash cans.]
[By the way, if you combine Cygames' three-star factors with miHoYo's artifacts, wouldn't that game be an explosive grind? Crap, why am I having such thoughts? I should slap myself twice first.]
At this moment, everyone saw Xu Zong's diary and started reading.
The atmosphere on the Tracen bus was very good now.
"Huh? Cafe is shy? Why? Wasn't it shot pretty well?" Tokai Teio couldn't understand. If she had shot it, she would have been showing it off long ago, wanting to stick it on her forehead. And the view count was already at 500,000, and it might even break the one million mark. The term "zero-yen purchase" had also become popular.
Good grief, a social butterfly like Tokai Teio naturally couldn't understand the thoughts of a socially anxious person. Only the socially anxious can understand the socially anxious. There's a saying: the socially anxious are the toys of the socially confident. Nothing can be done about it.
"And, Penacony, March 7th, Stelle? So strange, I don't understand any of it. Also, why rummage through trash cans? I completely can't understand what this person named Stelle is doing." Teio was completely stunned. To be honest, the first part was fine, but when she saw Stelle rummaging through trash cans, she was completely frozen. Could this person have some kind of strange major illness? Otherwise, why would she do such a thing?
As for Manhattan Cafe, she was a bit grateful. And she saw Ogura Yui again. She still thought of Ogura Yui as her shadow friend. But as for the latter part, her CPU was also burning, hard to understand.
Over at Narita Taishin's side.
"Wait, three-star factors, plus having to farm for equipment stats, isn't that the game I'm playing?" Narita Taishin was stunned for a moment. The samurai game she was currently playing was the same. After raising a samurai, it would randomly produce factors. Then, when the samurai taught a student, the factors would be inherited. She had been farming for several months and hadn't gotten a single good factor. Good grief, it turned out she was already in prison. She was the real "Tired-cen" master.
In America.
"Zero-yen purchase? We have a lot of that here. I didn't know it was just starting to get popular in Japan." Flightline said this. Good grief, it was an American tradition. She didn't find it strange at all. This was also a dark joke.
At this time, Xu Zong's diary continued.
[I'm going to have a go at the game arcade today too. Wait... what's wrong with the old lady Maruzensky? She suddenly started crying and whining. Good grief, this one really gets carsick. She said she was fine at first. Sakura Chiyono O even offered her a motion sickness patch, but she refused. She got so scared the bus had to stop. She gets sick in an instant.]
[Fortunately, the old lady Maruzensky didn't try to tough it out. Her head is hard, but at least her mouth is soft. When it's time to whine, she whines. I can only say she's a total weakling. But it's good that she's okay. The bus started moving again.]
At this time, a group of people on the bus couldn't hold it in anymore. Some even laughed out loud.
Grass Wonder said, "Sigh, what can you do? Sometimes people are just like that, they don't believe in evil."
Nice Posey smiled, "It's okay, I gave Maruzensky a four-leaf clover. She'll be fine. She's much better now that she's wearing the motion sickness patch."
The silly roe deer was indeed very gentle.
Yaeno Muteki smiled, "Sakura Chiyono O is really good at taking care of people. Under her careful care, Maruzensky is much better. She's getting more and more skilled."
Sakura Chiyono O was embarrassed, her cheeks slightly red. "Ahem, stop praising me, Muteki-san." But she was very virtuous, already starting to take care of her old dad.
And at this time, the old lady Maruzensky had finally recovered a little. After seeing the contents of Xu Zong's diary, she was on the verge of tears. But she had indeed whined. She didn't expect the ride to be so dizzying. She said she was fine when she was driving, so why was this happening? Also, she saw the term "old lady" again. She decided that next time, she must find a chance to take Trainer Xu for a joyride to get her revenge. But the old lady Maruzensky couldn't hold on anymore. She obediently let Sakura Chiyono O put the motion sickness patch on her and went to sleep.
Xu Zong's diary also continued.
[Speaking of which, we still have about half an hour to go. I think I'll take a nap too. That girl Seiun Sky is already searching for nearby fishing spots. She even asked Matikanefukukitaru if she knows how to make grilled fish. At the words "grilled fish," the sleeping Oguri Cap raised her head. I'm impressed, are her ears that good?]
[Are we almost there? By the way, today I have to face off against Yaeno Muteki, Mejiro Palmer, Toho Jorden, and Sirius Symboli. I wonder how strong they are. I should prepare myself too.]
Thinking of this, Xu Zong also wanted to close his eyes and rest. He knew some people had found helpers to虐待 him, but he wasn't afraid. He was pretty good at games. He also happened to know how to play billiards, probably a 50/50 match against Sirius Symboli.
However, at this moment, a points interface suddenly appeared in Xu Zong's mind, stunning him.
[Game Arcade Points Exchange Template Activated! (Limited to 1 day)]
[50,000 points can be exchanged for 4 game cheat codes today. The following is a list of items for the host to choose from, one item for 10,000 points.]
[This includes billiards, baseball, basketball, racing, and other items. Please see the list below for details...]
Soon, Xu Zong could see various game items in front of him. The points he was rewarded with today could actually be exchanged for these abilities to improve his gaming skills. Although they were only effective for one day, that was enough. For example, his basketball shooting skills increased, his billiard skills also increased, and all arcade game skills increased. At the same time, there were also some special game benefits, which were extremely powerful.
One of the abilities was from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Telence T. D'Arby. His ability was to read other people's inner thoughts, but he could only see if the other person was thinking "YES" or "NO." This was like a godsend in arcade games like baseball.
Xu Zong also decided that if someone wanted to play a competitive baseball game with him, he would exchange for this ability. He could ask the other person, "What kind of pitch are you going to throw? An inside corner? A high ball, a low ball, or an outside corner?" He could keep asking questions while reading the other person's mind. Once the other person's mind showed "YES," he would make the defensive player make the corresponding move. It was an ability that could perfectly identify the other person's thoughts.
He got excited. He didn't expect to become a JoJo villain himself just by going to a game arcade. It felt pretty cool. And you know, the Japanese Derby is also translated as the Japan D'Arby. He was also a future D'Arby trainer. It was very reasonable for him to get an ability named D'Arby from JoJo, right?
Soon, after another hour's drive, they arrived at Amanohashidate in the suburbs. Everyone got off the bus.
After getting off the bus, everyone sighed in admiration. The environment around Amanohashidate was very beautiful. There was a lake not far away, the water was crystal clear, and it was surrounded by forests. The air was fresh. Actually, in a winter like this, it should be snowing here. But the temperature had been rising recently, and Amanohashidate was also sunny, causing the first snow to melt. The vegetation here was still green. It was truly a tourist destination.
After getting off at Amanohashidate, they walked up the mountain to their destination. There were magnificent Japanese-style villas, as well as towers and small wooden houses. There were indeed many places to play.
"So beautiful, Trainer Xu! Look, look, there's a tower over there! Can we have a barbecue there? I can already smell it."
After Spe-chan got off the bus, she was extremely excited like a wild horse that had broken free. This was understandable. She was originally from the countryside, so returning here would give her a familiar feeling. She was definitely super happy.
"Really now, calm down a little. If you get lost, I won't be able to find you," Xu Zong tapped Spe-chan's head. If she got lost in this forest, he would probably die of exhaustion trying to find her. Actually, anyone who had seen Matikanefukukitaru's story would know why she wears a hat. Because the first time she got lost in the forest, a gust of wind blew her hat up. She then followed the hat, and other people also saw her hat, so she was found. After that, she would always wear a cute hat. As for the hole that could pass through her ears, she naturally cut it herself.
"Okay, I'll follow Suzuka. Not only can we play, but we can also walk around nearby."
Special Week and Suzuka held hands and immediately planned to head up the mountain.
"Myahaha, I can go fishing now."
Seiun Sky looked at the lake in the distance. She originally wanted to set off directly, but she saw Xu Zong after getting off the bus. She didn't avoid him, but told him to keep it a secret. This was a little secret between the two of them. She would catch fish for everyone for dinner. Saying this, Seiun Sky even gave a wink and went fishing cutely.
Xu Zong was also speechless. This girl was really bold.
"Huh, there are eagles here too," Yuki no Bijin also said with a grin. She was very energetic. After seeing Xu Zong, she also bowed and said hello. And Yuki no Bijin was also very curious about her real horse information. She was also thinking, Orfevre, Gold Ship, and Nakayama Festa belong to one family, Urara belongs to the Northern Dancer family, so where did she belong? She was also super, super looking forward to her real horse information. What would her future be like? Did she become a city girl? But she also said to be patient and not to rush.
"Hello there. But you said eagle? Holy crap, Mambo!" Xu Zong was dumbfounded. That girl El Condor Pasa had brought Mambo with her. He looked up and saw Mambo, shivering all over, looking like a frozen grandson. He was probably thinking, is this El Condor Pasa crazy? Why did she call me out in the middle of winter? I don't want to come out and play. Indeed, El Condor Pasa was afraid Mambo would be lonely, so she brought him out. But she didn't know that Mambo was not lonely at all. He even wanted to say that in this cold winter, he was sleeping comfortably in his birdcage. Who the heck called him up? He was planning to call the animal protection association to report it.
"Mambo?" Yuki no Bijin was also very cute. She looked up and greeted him. Mambo was quite polite. He waved his wings and then flew away. He would only appear when El Condor Pasa called him.
Actually, Yuki no Bijin's bloodline comes from Sakura Yutaka O, who dominated the 1986 Tenno Sho (Autumn) in a record-breaking manner. However, this record has long been broken and was raised to 1 minute 55.2 seconds by Equinox, which is at least 2 to 3 seconds faster, showing how terrifying the Autumn Emperor is. Xu Zong didn't know which family Yuki no Bijin belonged to now, but when he mentioned 'Yuki', he could still think of a girl named Yukinoshita Hirano. Yuki no Bijin also left after that.
Hokko Tarumae happened to come over. She had gone to get her stand. She was now trying to live stream. She planned to ask Chairwoman Akikawa and the boss for their opinions. If she got permission, she could live stream to promote herself, Spica, and Tomakomai.
"Trainer, there might be squirrels here in the spring, but they're hibernating now." Hokko Tarumae also knew a lot. The scenery here was similar to Tomakomai.
"Why don't we go wake it up?" Xu Zong suddenly had this thought.
"C-calm down." Hokko Tarumae was startled, waving her hands nonstop. She had just mentioned it, and she didn't expect Trainer Xu to blurt out such an idea. She had seen many living Bodhisattvas, but this was the first time she had seen a living Yama.
Of course, Xu Zong was just teasing her. He went up with her, which made Hokko Tarumae's cheeks puff up with anger. This guy said it so righteously, he just knew how to tease people.
After Xu Zong arrived at the lobby of the Japanese-style villa, a warm breeze blew over, which was extremely comfortable. A waiter immediately came out to greet them and help them put away their shoes.
The horse girls had booked the whole place, and some had already started playing games. Of course, the horse girls hadn't forgotten their main purpose, which was to make Urara happy. But Urara herself was distracted and started watching Grass Wonder. She even told everyone to play first, and to teach her later, as she was a slow learner. She was much happier now. After all, Urara herself was very optimistic and was a representative of hope.
So everyone started the game challenges and PKs first.
"Oh my god, Trainer Xu, did you see that just now? My battle with Sakura Bakushin O-san, our fight was so exciting! We fought until the sky was dark and the earth was dim, and it was hard to tell who was winning."
Winning Ticket was playing a King of Fighters type game, playing PK with Sakura Bakushin O. The two of them were boasting.
"Oh? Play another round and let me see how good you are," Xu Zong also said with a smile.
"Trainer Xu, I've also started a live stream. There are so many people."
It was Hokko Tarumae's first time live streaming, and her heart was pounding. She had actually rehearsed many lines on the way before starting the stream, but the moment she went live, she instantly forgot everything. She was like she was stuck, just staying in front of the camera, not knowing what to say. However, because the video she shot before was quite popular, her popularity was soaring. It turned out that everyone wanted to see her do a zero-yen purchase. She was flustered. But Hokko Tarumae later forced herself to calm down and hosted for a while, stammering. The number of viewers in the live stream was currently maintained at 5,000. Of course, she had also obtained the consent of Chairwoman Akikawa and the store manager to start the live stream.
"You're live streaming? That's great. Come, come, let's first point the camera at the live stream of Winning Ticket and Sakura Bakushin O's game. I heard the two of them are fighting until the sky is dark and the earth is dim, and it's hard to tell who is winning. It might be very exciting and can keep the audience," Xu Zong immediately came up with a plan.
After hearing this, Hokko Tarumae also nodded nervously. She hoped to rely on the operations of Winning Ticket and Sakura Bakushin O to keep the audience here. You have to know that 5,000 viewers in Japan is already a lot. Then she also wanted to get Mayano Top Gun to live stream, but she didn't know where Mayano had gone.
Winning Ticket and Sakura Bakushin O were playing very passionately at this time and didn't hear. This time they chose a game, a two-player cooperative type, similar to It Takes Two. Although it was a different game, if they played well, it could actually attract a large audience.
"This game really tests cooperation. Are you confident?" Xu Zong asked.
"Of course! Sakura Bakushin O-san and I just went through a match and have completely familiarized ourselves with each other. Just like heading towards the Derby championship, I will head towards the great road of victory. Trainer Xu, just watch me get a lot of points," Winning Ticket was still full of energy and showed her confidence.
Sakura Bakushin O also put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha~~~ Just watch me! We just need to go full speed ahead!"
After that, Xu Zong also started to watch their operations. He saw them simultaneously start to control their own characters. The initial levels were relatively simple, just jumping.
"Come, let's jump together."
"Okay."
The two of them started to cooperate and made a sprint directly. But unexpectedly, the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, both made a mistake at the moment of jumping, falling down in sync, directly ending the game. An awkward atmosphere immediately filled the air.
Xu Zong was also dumbfounded. He had seen bad players, but never this bad. He really wanted to say, Winning Ticket, Sakura Bakushin O, this is not called being evenly matched, this is called chickens pecking at each other. Both of them seemed not very smart.
Xu Zong told himself not to panic. It might be a mistake. Even masters make mistakes. However, he later discovered that this was not a mistake, this was genuine incompetence. It took them more than ten minutes to get past the first small level.
Xu Zong looked at the number of viewers in the live stream. It had already dropped to 2,000. It can be seen that everyone was having a brain hemorrhage from their incompetence. If they didn't leave, they would get high blood pressure.
"Hurry up and stream something else. Streaming a chair would be better than them. If we don't go, there will be no viewers left in the live stream."
Xu Zong pulled Hokko Tarumae and left.
Hokko Tarumae couldn't hold it in anymore, with a look of dumbfoundedness on her face. But she felt he was right. If she were an audience member, she would have run away too. The screen was always black and white.
And they walked around for a while and saw Dancing City. She was playing a dancing machine, and her dance moves were almost perfect, getting a full Perfect score. After broadcasting her for a few minutes, everyone was amazed. As expected of a horse girl, so amazing. The number of viewers had risen somewhat, reaching 4,000.
At this time, Toho Jorden invited Xu Zong to play basketball shooting, and they could even compete. If he lost, it would be like Truth or Dare, he would have to agree to one of her requests.
You have to know, Toho Jorden is very good at the basketball shooting machine. She also has a translated name, Kawashima Jordan. The god of basketball in America is the Chicago Bulls' number 23, Michael Jordan. And in the Cygames project, Toho Jorden also has a basketball meme, being quite good at playing, so her shooting machine skills are very strong.
However, Xu Zong said he wasn't going to pretend anymore. He wanted to communicate with her as a trainer, but all he got was distance. No more pretending, I'm the shooting king, I'm showing my hand.
He directly accepted this challenge. The two of them came to the shooting machine.
They first entered their nicknames. Xu Zong's game ID has always been "Girls leave your ID, boys be strong." Toho Jorden was speechless when she saw this ID. She seriously suspected that this guy, Trainer Xu, wanted to add girls just to abuse them. She had heard that he had虐待 Ardan for several hours, not letting her win a single game. In between, he had also abused Wu Di a dozen times. Before, with Satono Crown, he had also shown no mercy. This guy might really have this purpose. She had to work hard.
"Hey, look, look! Toho Jorden and Trainer Xu are going to have a one-on-one on the basketball shooting machine!"
"Trainer Xu can play basketball?"
"Yeah, he said he's been practicing for two and a half years."
"Who did you say is going up? Trainer Xu is warming up?"
"..."
For a moment, many horse girls also came upon hearing the news. Everyone was very curious. It was said that the loser had to agree to a condition. This was very exciting.
Xu Zong asked Jorden, "By the way, Jorden, if you win, you're not going to make me wear nail polish and dress up like a gyaru, are you?"
Jorden immediately shook her head and said, "Ahem, of course not."
However, Xu Zong had already exchanged for the D'Arby ability. The moment he asked this question, he had already read Jorden's true inner thoughts on whether she wanted him to dress up as a gyaru.
[YES! YES! YES! YES! YESSSSSS!!!]
"Holy crap!" Xu Zong was suddenly flustered. He had to shoot well. This girl Jorden was playing for real.
Jorden was also a little nervous, but she was not afraid. This Trainer Xu had said she was inept in both literary and martial arts. She would definitely get her revenge.
Soon, they put in their coins together.
Nakayama Festa came over and pressed the start button at the same time. As she pressed down her hand, the match between the two began. The basketball rolled down from the intercepting iron bar, and both sides began to shoot.
Toho Jorden reacted very quickly. The moment the basketball rolled down, she grabbed the ball with both hands and started to shoot. The basketball was thrown from her hands, spinning at high speed with a beautiful arc, and went straight into the net for a score. It can be seen that her skill level is very high. She then repeated this action and began to score consecutively.
And it was the same on Xu Zong's side. His own basketball skills were not bad, and now with the buff of the shooting machine ability increase, he was like a fish in water. A distance like this was a piece of cake, a hundred shots, a hundred hits.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"..."
Only the crisp sound could be heard, as his balls went into the basket one after another, accurately and without fail.
"58:54."
"62:56."
"66:58."
"..."
At this time, the score was constantly changing. Xu Zong had pulled ahead. Actually, Xu Zong was already holding back. He had a cheat code now. If he shot with all his might, his score would have already been in the triple digits. But that was completely unnecessary. Just winning was enough.
"So amazing, the two of them."
When Special Week saw this, she couldn't help but exclaim. She had shot before, and really couldn't make a single one. In her heart, she definitely hoped Trainer Xu could win. After all, he was her trainer. But Special Week admired both of them. She was now more excited than Xu Zong, her eyes sparkling.
"Wow, how come I feel like I could do it too? Is shooting that simple?"
Twin Turbo was stunned. She was eager to try. She even went directly to the next machine. After putting in her coin, she also wanted to experience the feeling of a hundred shots, a hundred hits. But the first ball she threw bounced back and hit her in the face, knocking her out directly. The rebound did get her two points though.
Soon, the match ended. Xu Zong won with a score of 98 to 94. He had controlled the score, but he didn't expect this girl Jorden to be so good. She was definitely a master among commoners.
Xu Zong had won.
He directly made his request: for Jorden to wash off her nail polish, take off her gyaru clothes, change her twin tails into a high ponytail or a bun, and change her gyaru outfit into something more student-like, anything would do. And she had to wear it at least until the end of today.
When Jorden heard this, she stumbled back two steps in a panic, and her heart was filled with regret. But she had agreed, and she couldn't escape. She could only force herself to calm down and then said she would go to the changing room first, and asked everyone to wait for her.
Xu Zong said he would wait for her here and told her to be quick.
And soon, Jorden had changed her clothes. She had really removed her nail polish, tied her hair into a high ponytail, and paired it with a white shirt. Combined with her current shy appearance, not daring to look directly at everyone, it was a stunning sight. She had a very pure and innocent feeling. And Jorden's purity was not faked, but very real. That's who she was.
The moment she appeared, everyone was stunned. The impact she brought was devastating. Who had ever seen her wear such clothes? As expected, clothes make the man.
But Jorden herself didn't think so. Her cheeks were crimson, burning hot, her mind a blank. All she could think was, how was she going to face people in the future? Waaaah?
"Is this okay now..."
Jorden was aggrieved. She really wanted revenge but couldn't. Her voice even had a hint of a sob. Wearing clothes like this, she didn't feel like herself at all.
So embarrassing. She finally understood Manhattan Cafe. She wanted to find a cave with her and crawl in, never to come out.
"Not bad, not bad. If you want to challenge me again in the future, you can find me anytime. I'll be happy to oblige," Xu Zong also smiled and didn't make things difficult for Jorden. Her current appearance was like a budding flower. He wouldn't tease her anymore.
However, Gold Ship had just arrived and saw Jorden. She didn't recognize her at first.
"Excuse me, beautiful, who are you?" Gold Ship was still very confused.
"Hey, Gold Ship, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Jorden said angrily.
"Wait, Jorden?" Gold Ship was stunned at first, then she rubbed her eyes and looked again, and then her face became a meme. She had no idea how Jorden had become like this. She pinched herself hard and found that she wasn't dreaming. Good grief, Gold Ship's worldview collapsed for a moment.
Nakayama Festa almost peed herself laughing when she saw Gold Ship's reaction. She had made a bet with Mejiro Palmer that Gold Ship would definitely be shocked by Jorden when she came over, and she had won. But of course, they didn't bet much, just one game token.
Xu Zong also died laughing when he saw this scene with Gold Ship. This 10,000 points was well spent.
And after that, Xu Zong also went to see other places. Everyone was working hard to earn points to exchange for gifts later. Seiun Sky sent him a private message, showing him all the fish she had caught. They could have a big meal tonight.
Urara was now playing the crane machine, but a group of people couldn't catch anything. It was just like Cygames' brain-hemorrhage-inducing setting. You would pull up a few at first, but they would all fall off during the process, and in the end, you would only get one, or even none.
Xu Zong decisively exchanged 10,000 points for the crane machine ability. After he got the hang of it, he directly helped to catch more than twenty dolls, stunning the horse girls around him. Urara was very happy. This was a full load.
He then started to wander around and saw Vodka and Daiwa Scarlet also playing. This pair of bickering lovers was very interesting, playing an RPG similar to Forest Samurai.
Daiwa Scarlet said, "Hey, Vodka, come and help me. I can't beat this ice one." The Forest Samurai game had ice and fire settings. Ice monsters were easier to beat with fire type, and Vodka was fire type.
Vodka said, "I know, I know. You were just complaining that I was too close to you. Now you know you need me?"
Daiwa Scarlet snorted, "Are you coming or not? I'll help you later too."
Vodka said, "Coming, coming."
"..."
Xu Zong thought, their relationship is still as good as ever. As for Spe-chan, she was playing that kind of challenge arcade game where you catch cows. And it must be said, she was really good at catching cows. Every time, she could catch the cow back. Was this the great general from the countryside? It was within her talent range.
And Xu Zong also walked around and saw Teio and McQueen. McQueen was playing a baseball game. They were playing very enthusiastically now.
"McQueen, we passed the fourth level! Great! Only one level left!"
"Teio, LESSON 5-da!" McQueen also smiled.
At this time, Necha said, "Aiya, Trainer Xu, want to play a baseball game?"
When Xu Zong heard this, he immediately said no problem. It turned out that Necha had just played a baseball game and had beaten Teio, Mejiro Palmer, Marvelous Sunday, and a whole group of people. Teio was even learning techniques from McQueen, wanting to have a showdown with Necha. After being虐待, the little rascal Teio was really angry.
Actually, the real Tokai Teio's personality was very similar to the one in Tracen. There was one episode where Rudolf gave a birthday present to Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi, who was Teio's younger brother. Teio would get sulky and ask the president why she didn't prepare one for her. And the real Tokai Teio was the same. He was usually very quiet, but if you went to the stable and didn't greet him first, but paid attention to other horses instead, he would get sulky with you and stay angry.
Why was Necha so good at baseball? The reason was one thing: her intelligence was indeed high. The gatekeeper horse's various speeches were quite crucial in this kind of competitive game. Marvelous Sunday, Mejiro Palmer, Teio, Yaeno Muteki, were all no match for her. Mejiro Palmer was even fooled into a stupor. It can only be said that the few of them together were not enough for Necha alone to play with. They were too bad.
She was now savoring the taste of first place, even getting a little carried away. Haha, so this is the feeling of being first. It would be great if it were in running. But she didn't care. She would experience it first.
And now, after seeing Xu Zong, and since Twin Turbo had gone outside to exchange for game tokens, she also asked if he wanted to play.
Xu Zong said, "Okay, it's just that I'm not very good at baseball. Can you teach me the rules?"
Actually, Xu Zong didn't know much about baseball, but he had mind-reading! He was about to虐待 Necha. You have to know that in the original JoJo, the game that the gambling gamer D'Arby played with Jotaro was baseball! He was extremely confident at that time because his mind-reading ability was too terrifying. Every swing, he could know Jotaro's defensive deployment, almost wiping out their team.
Xu Zong suddenly had the ability of a villain. And it must be said, this feeling was really cool. This was what DIO meant by "even the four balls are afraid of me."
"Okay, I'll teach you."
Necha-san was very gentle and began to patiently teach Xu Zong. She said that for a baseball game, you first choose a team, for example, the Jaguars or the Red Dragons. Each team has its own focus. Some are good at offense, some are good at defense. After both sides have chosen their teams, they have to choose who goes first and who goes second. The first player is the pitcher. There are several directions to pitch, such as inside corner, high ball, low ball, breaking ball, and straight down the middle.
The defensive side can predict a direction in advance and then operate. You can also change your move midway. You have to analyze the opponent's actions and react. And if you predict the direction in advance, the defensive side's advantage will be much greater. In short, it's full of observation and competition.
They used photos to establish their character models and entered the game. The game would end when the score difference reached 11 points.
After hearing this, Xu Zong also nodded directly. He had understood the general rules and couldn't wait to start the competition with Necha directly. He was not used to it at first and was beaten by Necha 4 to 0. At this time, many people gathered around, including the previous Toho Jorden. She was a little better now. Gold Ship had recovered from her shock and started to take all kinds of photos of Jorden, which made her almost unable to resist the urge to give her a hoof.
Jorden said, when will this cycle of revenge end? Gold Ship, you just wait. One day, I will also get your dark history, and then I will never delete it.
And at this time, countless people also said, as expected of Necha. Did they really have to watch her win? However, they didn't know yet that Necha-san's day of suffering was about to arrive.
