Umamusume's days are numbered

The sounds of Donghai Emperor and Platinum playing video games kept coming. Surrounded by the background noise, Aili Digital rubbed his hands together and chuckled awkwardly, "What does the president want with me?"

Could it be that I've spread too many rumors, and Rudolf is preparing to carry out a humane extermination against me...?

Or perhaps you're tired of the delicious food you usually enjoy and want to try something different this time...?

Upon thinking of this, Aili Digital quickly covered her chest.

President, I must refuse! As someone who only supports a particular fan, I am merely a cameraman who can only appear behind the scenes! I am not a romanceable character!

Go and flirt with your harem beauties!

Rudolf gave Aili Digital, who was clutching her chest, a strange look, took another sip of red tea, and then continued, "Aili Digital... Although you usually live a very low-key life at school, the glory you have achieved cannot be concealed."

"Honor?" Aili Digital scratched her head. "President, do you mean the photos I took? Or the posts on the forum...?"

"What photos? What forum?" Rudolf paused, taken aback. "What are you talking about? I'm obviously talking about your match results."

"Nothing, nothing." Alice Digital waved her hands repeatedly, letting out a sigh of relief. "Oh, it was about the competition... I thought it was something else."

It's not enough to just shut down the forum; it's our lifeline.

Rudolf, on the other hand, stares directly and solemnly at Aili Digital.

Although he seemed unreliable, the person sitting in front of him was a veteran general with a distinguished military record.

A rare dual-wielding racehorse girl who is an exceptionally talented individual, adaptable to both mud and grass terrains, and has won the G1 prize in both.

The victory of the opera "The Last Emperor of the Century" was ended in the Emperor's Award.

Furthermore, he achieved four consecutive victories in G1 races across various tracks, both domestically and internationally, including dirt and grass tracks.

A truly all-adaptive monster.

With so many honors bestowed upon her, even though Treson Academy is full of geniuses, Alice Digital is considered one of the best among them.

How did it become like this?

Oh, sorry, this has always been how Aili Digital is.

"Aili Digital, if I remember correctly, you've participated in Hong Kong events many times, right?" Putting aside these complicated thoughts, Rudolf Symbol continued speaking to Ali Digital.

"Is such that."

"Then you must know about the situation in Hong Kong. For example—do you know Golden Gun Sixty?"

Golden Gun Sixty — Upon hearing this name, not only Ali Digital, but even the East Sea Emperor and Platinum fell silent, all three pairs of eyes fixed on the Rudolf symbol.

"President, are you talking about that Golden Spear Sixty?" the East Sea Emperor asked with great interest.

If Rudolph symbolizes the emperor of Japanese horse racing, and the secretariat dominates the American racetrack with unquestionable oppression—then Golden Sixty is the emperor of Hong Kong horse racing.

This is a world-class horse that can be compared to Rudolf's symbol and the Secretariat.

Unlike Rudolf's symbol and the Secretariat, the Golden Gun Sixteen remains active on the track, forcefully announcing its existence by taking to the track.

How many years has Jinqiang Liushi been running? Three years? Four years? Is her body made of iron? Is her stamina inexhaustible?

"Golden Gun Sixty, perhaps he's considering retiring," Rudolf said symbolically.

In this season's competition, Golden Gun's six-game winning streak was ended. Not only was it ended, but he also missed out on the championship in two consecutive matches.

To the audience, this might just be something to lament. But Jin Qiang Liushi's status was so lofty that no one would doubt even the slightest bit of her strength.

"It is said that Jinqiang Liushi's health may be failing. In the worst-case scenario... he may have to retire."

With that, Rudolf symbolically placed a letter on the table and handed it to Alice Digital.

"And all of this was told to me personally by Jinqiang Liushi."

Under the watchful eyes of several people around him, Rudolf's symbolic mood inevitably grew heavy.

"The Hong Kong Mile Championship is in two months, and Jin Qiang Liushi is still recuperating. There is a high chance that she will miss the race. Even more likely, she will not win the championship even if she forces herself to compete."

"Under these circumstances, Jinqiang Liushi sent me an invitation to participate in a special event with her."

"Her exact words were, 'I know you're busy with official duties. This isn't a formal race; it can be treated as a friendly get-together with old friends. If you can't make it, just give the invitation to other racehorses you approve of; I'll accept any invitation.'"

“And Aili Digital,” Rudolph said, his symbolic gaze shifting to Aili Digital, “you, having played in and won the Hong Kong Cup, are the best choice.”

Episode 71: I completely defeated Rudolf! (Symbol)

Now, everyone's attention shifted to Aili Digital.

"Eh... to be able to race against a racehorse girl as handsome as the president, that's amazing." The Emperor of the East Sea looked on with envy.

Platinum rolled his eyes. Going to race against the Hong Kong Horse King? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"This is not an official match; more accurately, it's a special match," Rudolf added.

It could be to prove that Jinqiang Liushi was still the emperor who won every battle, or it could be to test the results of the reconstruction, or it could simply be a whim.

Golden Gun Sixty and her trainers extended invitations to horse girls all over the world.

Excluding active, rising star female racehorses, those invited were either newcomers who had just debuted or retired veterans with whom they had good relationships.

Coincidentally, Golden Gun Sixty and Rudolf symbolized a fairly good relationship. Although the two did not have many opportunities to meet, they exchanged quite a few letters over the years.

The invitation thus ended up in the hands of Rudolf, and was then passed on to Aili Digital.

"So, Aili Digital, are you willing to participate?"

Alice Digital stammered a few times, then twisted her hands tightly together: "Um... thank you so much for the president's recognition..."

"However, I cannot accept this invitation."

"I see." Rudolf simply nodded, not saying much more. "After all, you've already retired, forcing you to compete again is indeed..."

"No, no, no, that's not how it is." Alice Digital quickly shook her head like a rattle drum. "I'd love to participate, or rather, I'm already prepared to participate."

Rudolf symbolized that he did not speak, but instead gestured with his eyes for Alice Digital to continue.

"But... well... that..." After hesitating for a while, Alice Digital took out an identical invitation from her pocket.

"Although we didn't have many opportunities to interact before... our friendship is surprisingly... quite good."

"So, I also received an invitation from her."

Ah this.

Rudolf Symbol hadn't considered this possibility.

"I'm so sorry, President!" Alice Digital bowed her head abruptly, clasping her hands together. "I'm so sorry, I should have told you beforehand!"

“That’s nothing…” Rudolf’s symbolic gaze then shifted to the invitation on the table.

This has become a problem.

Aside from all-around geniuses like Alice Digital, there seem to be very few female racehorses who can quickly adapt to the Hong Kong racetrack, have already retired, and are still quite free.

There are indeed racers like Big Tree Express who excel in mile races, but they are active female racehorses and are in their prime. We can't disrupt other people's race schedules for a special race.

So... to whom should this invitation be given?

Rudolph, holding the invitation symbolically, couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

Although Golden Gun Sixty said that he could invite promising juniors to participate, and that it was just a friendly match, this was, after all, a race against a world-class horse king... Rudolph Symbol of Treson Academy's ponies were reluctant to let any of them go, fearing that they would become depressed after a race.

Sigh, if only there were some exceptionally talented, physically gifted young racehorses who wouldn't be completely outmatched by world-class horse champions...

But how could a racehorse girl like that possibly exist? Haha...

Rudolf's symbolic fingers, which were holding the invitation, stopped.

...It seems...there really is one?

Rudolf gestured to the side, his gaze shifting. The East Sea Emperor and Platinum were chatting away on another sofa.

Platinum patted her chest and kept chattering away.

"Rudolph symbolized that Golden Gun Sixty was on the same level as himself, and that the two of them were roughly equal."

"Golden Gun Sixty avoided the Hong Kong Cup, and Aili Digital won the Hong Kong Cup, which shows that Aili Digital is stronger than Golden Gun Sixty."

"When we were choosing the annual representative horse, Elle Digital didn't get as many votes as Forest Treasure Trove, which means Forest Treasure Trove was stronger than Elle Digital."

"Satsuki Sho of Forest Treasure Cave couldn't outrun Eri Soko, but I did, which means I'm better than Forest Treasure Cave."

"In conclusion, I have completely defeated Rudolf's symbolism."

"Hmm..." The Emperor of the East Sea puffed out his cheeks, "I won't allow you to talk about the guild leader like that, the guild leader is definitely the strongest!"

Bai Jin was overjoyed: "Then listen to my arguments again and see if they make sense. Rudolf symbolically said he and the sixty-one golden spears..."

The Emperor of the East Sea covered his ears: "I won't listen! I don't know how to refute you, but there's definitely something wrong with what you're saying!"

Rudolf, watching Platinum talk incessantly, suddenly felt the veins on his forehead bulge.

Calm down, calm down. Rudolph symbolizes that you must learn to be patient.

"Platinum," Rudolph said calmly, patting Platinum on the shoulder, "who do you think would be the most suitable candidate for this match?"

Without hesitation, Platinum blurted out, "Then it would definitely be a complete victory over Rudolf, who represents me."

As I said before, since we're not going to run into each other anyway, I'll just say it anyway.

The loser does not lose the formation.

If you ask, you're no match for the Emperor of the East Sea; if you say, you can't outrun me.

Can't they swim all the way from abroad and race against me?

"Then you go?"

As the hand gripping Platinum's shoulder tightened, Platinum's face froze, and cold sweat began to trickle down his face.

It seems I accidentally kissed someone I shouldn't have.

Others didn't care, since they couldn't hear. But there was a petty person right next to me.

No, retribution is coming.

"President..." Bai Jin wiped away his sweat, "I was just joking. Besides the wise and mighty president, how could anyone else possibly shoulder this heavy responsibility?"

When it's time to back down, back down.

"Hmm?" Rudolf made a nasal sound, as if he were giving a half-smile.

She realized that this little brat, Platinum, needed to be dealt with.

"Didn't you completely defeat me?"

Platinum quickly grabbed Rudolf's symbolic leg: "Please, Chairman, be wise! What I said was all a result of being deluded, completely blinded by greed..."

Platinum really doesn't want to go out and run around.

It's not that I'm afraid of not getting first place or anything; Platinum doesn't really crave those things.

My minimum standard is to win the Yayoi Prize; everything else is irrelevant. If I can outrun someone, I'll run; if I can't, I'll just admit defeat.

That's why—Platinum craves victory in the game, but not so much.

She doesn't want to be an undefeated triple crown racehorse girl. Who never loses in their life? You're used to winning from childhood to old age, right? You're numb to winning.

The real reason is that this extra event wasn't in his shitty system.

In other words, this was an unplanned match.

If it's not something I need to do, why bother joining the crowds and flying all the way to Hong Kong? It's exhausting.

Episode 72 Well... then let's go.

Platinum wouldn't do anything unnecessary, strenuous, or thankless.

As a result, at this moment, the system's simple achievement interface, which looked like a college student's final assignment, suddenly popped up, and an additional interface also automatically popped up.
