"If Bei Yuan-san treats guests, then just go to a family restaurant." Zhou Tai'an spared Bei Yuan's life in advance with compassion.

It's just that Beiyuan still doesn't understand the kindness of his colleagues at this time.

After hearing Zhou Tai'an's answer, he hammered his chest: "I'm going to eat kaiseki cuisine. If I treat guests, how can I invite Tai'an-sang to an ordinary family restaurant? Just go a little farther, we Go to Li Xing in the city and eat authentic Chinese food!"

"Okay." Seeing that his friend was not ready to accept his kindness, Zhou Tai'an had no choice but to shrug his shoulders.

While saying this, he had already "waited silently" for his friend's wallet in advance.

In the evening, after finishing his work, Zhou Taian put on his pajamas, went to bed with ease, covered the quilt, and fell asleep.

Falling into the dream world again, when he came to Lujian Changyong's stable, he was stopped by the other party: "Mr. Zhou, don't go riding, come with me."

Zhou Taian was surprised - after all, this was the first time he was called away by Lu Jian Changyong after entering the dream world, and seeing the other party's demeanor, there was a high probability that he had something important to discuss.

He responded, secretly guessing in his heart what Lujian Changyong wanted to discuss with him.

"You can't just think that my performance in the riding training is not good, so you want to fire me?" Zhou Tai'an thought that relying on "Moora"'s riding skills, he hadn't made any mistakes in the dream world.

"Follow up, and you'll know the answer right away."

He took a step forward and followed Lujian Changyong to the door of the stable.

"It stands to reason that from the day you came to my stable to practice, you can ride a racehorse to participate in the competition." Lujian Changyong said with his back to Zhou Tai'an, "But I didn't give you any Any opportunity to ride is just for you to help with training here. Are you a little dissatisfied in your heart?"

"Nothing, I believe the teacher must have his own reasons for doing this." Zhou Tai'an directly denied it.

"Several of the riders who are in the same period as you have already won the first victory. I see that your performance in training is also very good, so I think it's time for you to go to the Kasamatsu Racecourse to experience the atmosphere of the competition." See Lu Chang Yong paused, then turned around, "Five days later, the first race at the Lisong Racecourse will be held with a 3-year-old new horse, 800 meters of dirt, Mr. Zhou, you will ride Xiao Limao."

"Can I trust you?" He stared at the apprentice rider in his stable.

"Of course!" Zhou Taian nodded vigorously.

"I didn't expect that in reality, I arranged for Xiao Li Mao to debut, and in the dream world, Xiao Li Mao will debut on the same day." He was surprised.

10. The first battle of the dream

From the end of April to the beginning of May, Japanese people often have a week off, because there are several days of statutory holidays during this period.

But the trainers of the racing girls who are about to debut don’t have holidays—the racing girls do, after all, if they continue to do daily training before their debut, the impact on physical strength will be obvious.

So on May 5st, Labor Day, after going to the shrine for a morning run with the Oguri hat and brand new glory, Zhou Taian announced on the spot that they would have a holiday.

And he has to keep working-whether it is collecting opponent data or thinking about new and brilliant game tactics will take time.

May 5th is also a legal holiday in Japan, but for Zhou Taian, he is most looking forward to the evening.

"If there are no accidents tonight, I will have my first match with Xiao Limao in the dream world." Zhou Taian was sitting at his desk, rubbing his shoulders, and muttering in his heart, "800 meters on the mud... …Although it seems that the tactics are well arranged, you can rush up in one breath, but you can’t just focus on one game. It is necessary to let Xiao Limao learn patience through the game.”

"The 800-meter race on mud is only available in a few racecourses of Kasamatsu's level. The future of Oguri Mao must be placed on the mile and middle distance. Because of this, she must not be allowed to develop a dull head after the gate. The habit of rushing forward—not even the experience of doing so."

With this in mind, Zhou Taian designated "go first" in the game strategy.

But New Glory is different here, after all, it's an experience, so Zhou Tai'an simply asked her to grab the lead position as much as possible while maintaining a clean exit, and then use her will to run to the fullest.

"No matter what the result of the game is, experiencing the atmosphere of a game will definitely not lose money for you to the new glory." He wrote this line of text at the end of the notepad.

After writing the game strategy arrangement, together with the analysis of the opponents written yesterday, Zhou Tai's security department handed over Xin Guanghui and Xiao Limao.

"If you don't understand anything, you can come to the office and ask me before school today." He urged.

Xiao Limao immediately expressed his doubts: "The trainer specially drew my attention to the Fujisho March, which will adopt the lead strategy, and instructed me to adopt the first strategy, but the debut race is only 800 meters, is it really okay?"

"The 800-meter course of the Kasamatsu Racecourse is a long straight first, then enters a curve, and finally is a 238-meter straight." Zhou Taian first described the composition of the 800-meter track, and then continued to explain, "This is not a pure straight line. The track, if you want to escape to the end in one go, you must be ahead of all opponents in terms of quality."

"Although everyone in the academy thinks that the Fujima March is very strong, I believe that you are the most powerful one, Oguri Mao." His tone was full of trust. Pull out the acceleration space slightly after the corner, and use the explosive power we developed on the slope in front of the shrine as the decisive weapon to surpass her in the last 200 meters!"

Finally, Zhou Taian shook his fist excitedly: "I made a bet with Kitahara-san, as long as you can win Oguri-san, Kitahara-san will invite the three of us to eat at that famous Chinese restaurant in Nagoya!"

"Come on, Xiaoli!" Xin Guanghui's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Endure until the end and go straight, and use explosive power to win?" Xiao Limao pinched the piece of paper covered with Zhou Tai'an's handwriting, and squeezed harder with his fingertips.

She raised her head and made a serious promise: "I will win according to the trainer's instructions."

In the evening, Zhou Tai'an, who was familiar with the road, came to the dream world and found that he had already put on his own winning suit - in his memory, when the local riders rode the local horses, they all wore their own clothes.

And Zhou Taian's final suit was bright red, with five yellow five-pointed stars printed on the front, and the same on the back, with five-pointed stars on the sleeves.

"The reason why this decisive suit is designed in this way is because the hometown of this body is the same as my father..." He closed his eyes, and he could immediately dig out the reason from his memory.

Zhou Taian shook his head: "Forget it, the focus now is to win this debut battle with Xiao Limao!"

Kasamatsu Racecourse will hold 12 races on a race day, but as a trainee rider, Zhou Taian’s stable is not in the forefront of Kasamatsu. Therefore, the only horse that Sagimi Masahiro’s trainer can provide for Zhou Taian is Oguri Hat. This also means that Zhou Taian only participated in the first of the 12 games today.

"It doesn't matter." He was bouncing and moving his body outside the lounge door, "As long as he and Xiao Limao can win today's debut match."

In the lounge, many of Kasamatsu's riders turned their attention to Zhou Tai'an outside the door——

"Heh, the riders of the Hua Kingdom...do the people over there know how to ride speed horses?"

"It seems that this kid is only running the first race today. Then, educate him well and let him know that this line of work is not so easy to do."

"It's a pity that the debut race is only 800 meters. It will be interesting if the distance is long enough."

"I bet he will definitely fail miserably in his debut battle."

"Kasamatsu is not a place where you can simply hang out!"

The Ando rider who encouraged Zhou Taian when he arrived at the Kasamatsu training center on his first day is also sitting here.He listened to the discussions of his colleagues, and secretly worried about Zhou Taian in his heart.

But he didn’t have the chance to fight in the first race—to take a step back, even if he had a riding partner, Rider Ando would not be able to sacrifice his chance of winning to clear Zhou Tai’an, which is contrary to his profession as a rider Morality.

However, he still quietly got up when no colleagues noticed him, and came to the door.

"Zhou Jun, don't just focus on the horse during the race." Rider Ando came to Zhou Tai'an and reminded him in a low voice, "After all, your background here is very special, so be more careful."

Zhou Tai'an was taken aback, then nodded again and again, and thanked the senior who kindly reminded himself: "Thank you Senior Ando, ​​I understand."

This experience was quite new for him.

In the real world, it is enough for Zhou Taian to take out his passport to make the Japanese maintain basic respect for him, but in the dream world, just a slight difference will cause trouble.

"Then let me see what this group of guys with hidden knives in their smiles can do on the field." He moved his wrist and looked deep.

11. The first battle of the dream

There were a total of 10 racehorses in Xiao Limao's debut race, and Zhou Taian's gate position happened to be No. 5 in the middle.

"It's a two-sided attack now." He rode on the back of Xiaoli's hat, and looked around casually.

Those eyes full of malice towards him are completely undisguised.

It is impossible to say that Zhou Taian is not nervous, but after taking a few deep breaths, he tried hard to keep his mind calm: "I even passed the Arc de Triomphe in the dream world. Is it difficult for me to compete in this kind of place?" Stop me!"

Although Zhou Taian didn't know exactly what Moore's riding skills he had mastered in the dreamland, but in the previous month when he was training in the dreamland riding training, he was often praised by others for his excellent riding skills, so Zhou Taian's confidence is still Quite enough.

"And there is also Fujimasa's March in this race..." He couldn't help but glanced at the racehorse wearing the No. 1 number plate, "Is the direction of this world and the real world so consistent?"

Zhou Tai'an clenched his whip tightly: "Whether it's here or in reality, I will win this debut battle with Xiao Limao!"

Because there was no partner in this game, Rider Ando, ​​who stayed in the waiting room, squinted his eyes and looked at the figure of his junior on the big screen.

"I always feel that Zhou Jun has an aura that only the top riders in the central government have. Is it my illusion?" He whispered.

One minute before the start of the race, the riders urged their partners to enter the gate one by one with the assistance of the racecourse staff.

Although Xiao Limao played for the first time, the process of entering the gate went smoothly.

As Gate No. 5, their group was the third to enter the gate. Zhou Tai'an could feel the slight trembling of Xiao Limao under his saddle after entering the gate.

"Are you excited or nervous?" Zhou Tai'an didn't know the answer, but he was willing to think about it from a better angle, "I believe Xiao Limao, you are also very excited."

"Let's teach these self-important bastards a lesson!"

With the sound of the electric bell, there was a "click", and the gates opened neatly.

Relying on his instinctive reaction, Zhou Taian immediately pushed Xiao Limao's neck, urging it to start speeding up.

"Since you are going to be attacked by two sides, then rush out before they become powerful!" He never wanted to rack his brains in the 800-meter electric shock battle to think about how to break the situation, so he simply used the simplest method .

In the innermost race, Tatsuo Hara and Takao Hara on the saddle also received instructions from the trainer before the race, to grab the leading position in this ultra-short distance race.Therefore, after discovering that Zhou Tai'an and Xiao Limao were aggressively moving forward and backward after leaving the gate, Yuan Longnan didn't dare to neglect, and started to beat the whip directly.

"Slapping the whip so early." Zhou Tai'an was quite surprised when he saw it, "So you want to take the lead?"

But the leader is indispensable in his plan, so Zhou Taian is not going to give him face.

When he was about to enter the corner, relying on the advantage of being more forward, he changed the whip from his right hand to his left hand, and then sent a reminder whip to Xiao Limao, asking his partner to go diagonally to the right inner lane, forcing Block the approach of Fujisawa March.

I have to admit that Oguri Mao's daily eating behavior makes him not afraid of physical confrontation with his opponents in the game - it is tens of kilograms heavier than Fujimasa's marching song, and when no one is doing strength training, the collision It seems that the small chestnut hat has an obvious advantage.

Yuan Longnan is not an idiot either, so he can naturally sense this, so after Zhou Taian made a diagonal block, he could only grit his teeth, helplessly pull the rein, let the Tengzheng March slow down slightly, and landed behind Xiaolimao .

……

Maintaining the advantage of having more horses, Zhou Taian rode Xiao Limao into the curve.

Although he knew that walking by the railing was the easiest way, he still moved the little chestnut hat outward.

Zhou Tai'an was not worried that the Fujin March behind him would take advantage of the position he gave up and overtake him.

Because everyone does not take the inner road, the sand on the inner road is the thickest, which also leads to a significant drop in speed after stepping on it. He knows that the old rider behind him knows this well, so he does not defend himself.

As Zhou Taian expected, even if he and Xiao Limao opened up the gap, Takao Hara and Fujimasa did not dare to intervene in the march.

"If I give you a chance and you don't make it, I'll be sorry." When he was about to turn out of the curve, contrary to common sense, Zhou Tai'an tightened the rein, then immediately pushed Xiao Limao's neck hard, and then pulled it again Tighten the reins, let Xiao Limao raise his head, and maintain this cycle of movements.

"What is this doing?" The riders behind him could only understand half of Zhou Taian's operation—that is, the pushing part.Everyone knows that this is to assist their partners, so that they can kick back and sprint forward more smoothly.

But the previous action of tightening the reins was not comprehensible at their level.

"Pushing the horse is to assist the partners to lower their heads and exert force backwards, while tightening the reins is to assist the partners to raise their heads, the body becomes more tense, and the flexibility of the next step is improved." Zhou Taian flashed such words in his mind The reason for doing it.

The pushing strength of this body is quite strong, and Oguri Hat is also very adaptable to this rhythm. After exiting the corner, he picked up the speed that fell in the corner again, and instantly opened the distance between himself and Fujisho March.

Yuan Longnan couldn't hold back at all. After turning out of the corner and coming to the final straight, his right hand clenched the whip tightly, and his arm began to wave wildly in the air. Every one or two seconds, the whip would "crack" on the buttocks of the rattan march. "Sound.

Yuan Longnan wanted to rely on this pain to make his partner catch up and narrow the gap between himself and Zhou Taian.

At the beginning, he was quite confident, because Yuan Longnan noticed that Zhou Taian was just pushing the horse, without whipping at all, and assumed a "slack" attitude.

"Definitely teach the rookies a lesson! Don't think that you have a chance to win when you haven't crossed the line!" He gritted his teeth and swung his whip harder.

But every time the whip was swung, the gap between Zhou Taian and him widened by one point.

"Win!" While crossing the line, Zhou Taian clamped Xiao Limao's body with his legs, left the saddle with his excellent waist strength, straightened up, and changed the horsewhip, which he had never waved in this match, to his left hand. It turned like a pen.

"The partner of the rookie rider and the new horse wins the first race." The tone of the live commentary was similar to the atmosphere in the stands, and they were quite weak.

Even the excitement that made Zhou Taian subside a lot.

"Tsk, it's the same as the real Kasamatsu." He complained inwardly, "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely go to the Central Committee."

As for the "predecessors" who were discussing to give Zhou Taian a little color before the start of the race, they completely became spectators during the 800-meter distance, and did not have any influence on Zhou Taian at all.

"Just like a clown." Rider Ando sat alone in the lounge, grinning, talking to himself.

12. Rewards for Dream Contest

After waking up, Zhou Tai'an habitually checked the rewards after winning the debut match with Xiao Limao in Dreamland World.

"Yesterday was the first time I competed in a dream, so you can't add a little more intimacy to me, right? Then it doesn't make any difference whether you go to this game or not." He recalled the interface in his heart .

"Xiao Limao won the debut match, the reward: Kayano running shoes + matching Queen's shoes."

"Uh... I'm not a horse race girl, so I shouldn't need this thing?" Zhou Tai'an looked at the rewards he got after the challenge last night, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Let me see where I put these things. "

He was about to roll over and get out of bed when he stepped on something.

"Whoosh" retracted his legs, Zhou Tai'an looked down on the bed - a tightly sealed box with a pair of shoes on it.

Just looking at the pink color of the box, he made a judgment: "This is really not for me."

Reaching out to put the shoe on the bedside cabinet, Zhou Tai'an brought the shoe box to him and observed carefully——

"The size of this shoe...the Japanese standard is 27.5, which is exactly the size of a small chestnut hat." After noticing this, he shook the box, "Then give her these shoes and shoes."
