For horse racers, making money is victory!

[Mission Reward: Slightly enhances the adaptability of the escape horse running method; unlocks a new B SS challenge in the dream.]

[B SS has been drawn - Hai Du City]

58. A giant red monster was born.

The long-awaited temporary mission finally appeared under Xiaobai Zhuixue's expectant gaze.

Her red eyes were filled with curiosity and interest as she scanned the brief contents on the system panel.

[Temporary Mission 1: Complete a total of 200 kilometers of running (can be completed cumulatively)]

[Mission Reward: Slightly enhances the adaptability of the escape horse running method; unlocks a new B SS challenge in the dream.]

[B SS has been drawn - Hai Du City]

The moment of infancy caused Xiao Bai Zhui Xue's pupils to suddenly contract.

"It's actually..."

"That Hai Du City?!"

This name is very special.

This Saima Girl is quite famous worldwide. Her fame in Japan is even more remarkable, making her a character that many both love and hate.

Although he doesn't have the exaggerated strength of Yongwu, nor the feat of Dahong topping the Guanguo mud track charts in the Year of the Horse.

However, she was the winner of the Arc de Triomphe Award.

That's right, it's the Arc de Triomphe, the "world's number one turf race" that drives the Japanese horse racing world crazy.

What makes Haidu City special is that...

For most of her career, she was an unknown nobody.

Even winning a mid-to-low-tier high-stakes GIIII or GII tournament is proving difficult, with almost no wins to be had.

Until Hai Du participated in the Arc de Triomphe Awards, she was still unknown and couldn't even make it into the top five in popularity rankings.

This dark horse faced an even more devastating challenge at the Arc de Triomphe, where she was utterly transformed into the "Demon of Shigemachi," rightfully surpassing all the champions.

They pulled off a historic upset.

The biggest dark horse in the history of the Arc de Triomphe.

The ultimate warrior in the horse racing arena.

If that were all, it wouldn't be something that the Japanese horse racing world both loves and hates, and is obsessed with.

After all, the Arc de Triomphe awards have new champions every year, and there are definitely quite a few who are more accomplished and better than Hai Du.

Haidu City, too, only achieved victory by leveraging its exceptional horse racing talent during the crucial moment, perfectly illustrating the meaning of "favorable timing, geographical advantage, and harmonious human relations."

With a mere GI-1 win in the Arc de Triomphe championship, he was defeated by the Japanese spectator, who was quite shrewd.

Because—she attended a school in Japan! It's just that Haidu City wasn't valued in Japan and her performance was just average.

To be precise, Hai Dudu was born in Hong Kong, China, then studied at a school in Japan, and then debuted in Europe.

In some ways, it's even more exaggerated than Xiaobai Zhuixue growing up in the US, studying in Japan, and then debuting in Japan.

A true traitor!

After all, Saima Niang only cares about where someone debuts, not their nationality or school affiliation.

In terms of identity, Haidu City is a pure European racehorse girl.

Only Japan would be so xenophobic, denouncing foreign geniuses as "traitors" and restricting their entry. But now, those restrictions have finally been completely lifted and no longer exist.

A Japanese spectator, who is extremely fascinated by the Arc de Triomphe, said, "If she could win the Arc de Triomphe award on behalf of Japan, then she would be the winner!"

Unfortunately, it can only be a fantasy.

That former champion of the Shigeoba Championship and the Arc de Triomphe, after retiring, established a family and a prestigious lineage in Europe. Her supposedly exceptionally talented descendant has yet to visit Japan.

Ben.

"Haidu City... is indeed a top-tier city."

"However, her actual stats shouldn't be as exaggerated as Da Hong and Yong Wu's, right?"

"So her training value is—[Shigebaba]?"

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue quickly realized the value of that dark horse senior.

Even as a working-class woman, she had already learned the essence of capitalism: to ruthlessly squeeze every last bit of value out of every BSS she could find in her dreams.

Meguro Mushrooms are used to train one's long-distance abilities.

Haidu City can be used as a training ground for juggernauts.

The red ones are for training on muddy surfaces that might be challenged in the future, but they're not needed right now.

"Hmm, we can improve endurance first, and then take care of end-foot training and heavy track training at the same time."

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue quickly finalized the future training plan.

The gym leaders she will be challenging next are Megumi Megumi, Invincible Vanguard, Maruzenski, and Maruto!

Previously, she could only choose one B SS to challenge one-on-one.

Things are different now. After receiving the rewards and making some improvements, the [Free-for-All Function] has been unlocked!

“Previously, when practicing mid-range shots, I could only choose between Invincible Vanguard and Maruzenski.”

"Now, I can enjoy being ganged up on by multiple B SS at the same time."

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue couldn't help but sigh.

But before that...

She first needs to complete this temporary task, which is to run 200 kilometers.

For an ordinary person, this task would probably take more than half a month to complete.

Even professional runners typically run 20 to 40 kilometers a day; any more than that would exceed their limits and could lead to injury.

But for a merchant girl like Xiaobai Zhuixue, who possesses the legendary "Iron Horse Physique"...

She could easily complete the mission within three days!

In addition to unlocking the B SS challenge in the sea city, this reward also slightly enhances the adaptability of the escape horse running method!

"Of my four running styles, the escape horse running style is [C], right?"

"With more practice or continued training, he should be able to reach [B] in the future."

We're one step closer to becoming an all-around, flawless hexagonal warrior!

Even when Xiaobai is in a good mood, he will not slack off in the slightest.

In her view, there is no end to divine comfort, and there is still victory at the end of victory.

At the end of this month, there will be the third battle in this long war!

Good opera has found new friends.

It is called, "The Wrath of a Famous General".

This is a voluptuous girl with a large, crescent-shaped white fringe on her head.

Compared to the lively, outgoing, and narcissistic Good Opera, she appears clumsy and introverted, with a very different personality.

Sometimes, similar personalities can clash, while vastly different personalities can complement each other.

This is precisely the case between a good opera and a famous general's raging torrent.

Moreover, their differences extend beyond personality; even their apparent talents differ significantly.

Meisho Nutaku is a racehorse girl in the same year as Yoshiro Okita and Kogeki, but so far she has not shown enough potential.

Therefore, from the outside perspective, even if Meishou Nutao participates in the Classic Triple Crown, she will only be the second batch of Saima Musume after Hakko Gekko, Yoshiro Oyuki, and Naritaji.

Making it to the semi-finals is a success!

But in reality, Meijō Rōtō is a Saiki girl of the same type as Yōshiro Chase-Snow, that is... [late bloomer]!

However, her late maturity is not as exaggerated as Xiao Bai Zhui Xue's; she will definitely shine in the Year of the Horse at the latest.

"Nutao, our next training session is about to begin."

"Are you still looking at your phone? What are you looking at so intently?"

The opera had already ended, and she looked at the famous general Nutao, who was sitting on a bench with his head down, scrolling through his phone.

When questioned, the famous general Nu Tao was startled, as if he had been caught slacking off in class by his teacher. He straightened up immediately.

"I... I was looking at... Shang Bai's account."

When a good opera singer hears a friend mention an opponent who has defeated them, they first offer a testimonial.

Then, she looked up and laughed.

"Huh? Xiao Bai? That makes sense. Her brilliance and dazzling presence are no less than Ba ​​Wang's."

"Well, opera student, do you think... she'll participate in the third battle next week?"

The famous general's angry eyes gleamed with curiosity as he tentatively inquired about his opinion on good opera.

"I saw a lot of comments, and they all think that Xiaobai has already won all four of his matches, which is a very impressive record and he has won a lot of matches."

"Now we should know when to stop, maintain our momentum, avoid getting injured or losing and losing our 'Invincible Body', and then prepare for the upcoming 'GI' Yayoi Prize' or Satsuki Prize."

She felt that these comments seemed quite reasonable and made perfect sense.

But Good Opera smiled and shook its head, its words filled with absolute confidence.

"No, she will not avoid war."

Why, why?

"Intuition!"

“??.”

Faced with the general's bewildered and adorable reaction to the raging torrent, like a cat winking, the opera then gave a serious reply.

"She has mastered three of the four major running techniques."

"The first two races this month were in miles, and the third race was extended to 2200 meters, my longest distance ever."

"She didn't choose the 2000-meter race like Aimo and I did. It couldn't be because she was afraid of us and avoided the competition. There must be a deeper reason."

This made the famous general Nu Tao suddenly realize the truth, and he continued to listen attentively.

"Perhaps what she cares about isn't some 'classic triple crown' or 'undefeated triple crown,' but rather, 'the path to becoming a champion' by traversing all competitions with honor and mastering all aspects!'"

"That's my judgment."

E

On another continent, far away.

Countless enormous cities stand tall, this is from the United States.

Because of the time difference, it was already night and the sun had already set.

In the remote towns, above are the glittering stars, and below are the faint, scattered lights of passing vehicles.

A small, relatively unknown training ground is located not far from the town.

Despite it being nighttime, a tall, crimson figure was conducting solitary training.

That somber, crimson figure stood alone, surrounded by a barrier that isolated it from all other beings. The depth of that ravine was, at least, a little bit.

But she has already left... and will not truly return until she has paid off the family's debts.

In order to bring her back home one day.

And so, the crimson monster was born.

59. Reverse Version Masterpiece: Xiao Bai Chasing Snow! Fat Horse McQueen

In the chairman's office.

The petite and adorable chairperson, Akikawa Yayoi, and her secretary, Shunkawa Tsuna, are staring at the documents in front of them.

"I suppose even that little Xue-zhui couldn't have imagined her battle experience..."
