NO.193: The facts that multiple horse girl trainers must face.

After having a somewhat lowbrow discussion with Bi Ze in a detached manner and spending a relaxed time, Aomo eventually found himself, like Ikari Shinji, thinking he couldn't escape, couldn't escape, and walked toward his overly fulfilling daily life that still made him long for vacation.

Recently he has fully understood why some seniors post travel guides from around the world in the vacation group chat, while some seniors only ask in the vacation group chat whether there are hidden sleeping spots.

Back then he thought the latter was paying tribute to strange legendary documents, but now he has sensed an ethereal feeling detached from the mundane world.

Whether to emulate them is another matter, after all he surpasses these seniors in youth.

The vitality and stress resistance of young people, although the latter is still debatable, but Aomo feels he is adequate.

He could still walk out of his friend's cottage without hesitation, glance at the android lady peeking from the windowsill, nod slightly, and leave with that set of horse girl cards.

This is something he mentioned in passing while chatting with Bi Ze a month ago; if Bi Ze has free time to collect it, he can act as a proxy, and he will reimburse.

Brother is indeed righteous; he not only memorized and collected a stack large enough to fill a big aluminum box, but also thought to bring it when he came, and had no intention of taking money.

Of course, if you count the winnings from his several previous horse lottery inquiries to Aomo, then he indeed shouldn't take money—Aomo's few words have already made him earn too much.

But Aomo never kept this in mind back then, and he doesn't care whether Bi Ze remembers it; although he always believes emotions need maintenance and friendships need upkeep, so he often remembers to lend a hand to those around him, he does not expect friends to give him any tangible return.

Holding such a mindset, he then has more chances to feel life's sudden little surprises.

Just like those cards that at first glance appear to be ordinary cards designed for card collecting.

They are even specially made to resemble playing cards, with patterns like J, K, A visible at a glance.

But they are actually small gadgets of modern technology.

Each card is a small encyclopedia that can directly trigger a projection function, inside which information updated in real time by dedicated people is marked.

In short, it's a small wiki; for specific corresponding characters, dedicated and relatively professional fans write and update the content in real time.

Such cards are now common character merchandise, not only in the horse girl fan circle, but the horse girl fan circle basically all have them, and they may even have made various derivative cards, using card collection completion as a measure of fan purity.

After all, it's just a conspiracy to sell cards.

Aomo is not a card-collecting enthusiast; he doesn't even like card games much, he only likes monster cards because they contain monsters.

By contrast, horse girl cards certainly contain no horse girls, only texts written by fan teams.

Even true fans may not care about these texts; they are more often seen as a way to display cooking skill and financial strength.

But Aomo does care.

His time is increasingly insufficient; he can no longer, as he did in his youth, have leisure to browse all kinds of horse girl information.

He increasingly needs external assistance, such as AI big data scraping, or manual screening by Witch Beasts.

But although this seems like a comprehensive dragnet at first glance, in reality it often has omissions and often reveals loopholes in information gathering; he has actually been somewhat dissatisfied with it all along.

And the most effective optimization he considers is this fan-initiated but somewhat official-natured horse girl card set.

The so-called official nature is evident in the content that isn't too outrageous and the poker numbers on the cards—this is an obvious tie‑in, in other words, it's like peripheral design guiding you to be a DD.

You need to be a fan of at least 36 horse girls and collect their cards to possibly complete a set.

As for why it's 36 rather than 54, that's because, as mentioned before, some horse girl cards have derivative cards.

The numbers aren't unique either, which also counts as lowering the difficulty of full collection.

More importantly, the text is unified.

There is no occurrence of 'different cards having different texts,' which fans find both pleasing and worrisome; Aomo would only find it troublesome.

Moreover, because this thing carries a fan‑oriented label, it will contain professional‑oriented content that outsiders may not easily accept.

For example, horse‑girl soul.

After all, the reason Aomo, who normally pays no attention to this card‑collecting activity, suddenly had Bi Ze collect these items is that, while repeatedly pressuring Bi Ze to gather the racehorses' past deeds, the latter, complaining about work, suggested that instead of nagging him in his old age, he should just look at those cards.

Thus acquiring this can be said to have relied entirely on the blessing of aliens.

However, as the 'fill‑the‑gap' part of checking for omissions and making up deficiencies, these horse girl cards cannot fully satisfy Aomo, because they still lack cards for Chazuo, Suzi, and Aizhi.

Bourbon does have one, although the cyber horse girl lacks a dedicated fan‑operating group, and that former trainer of the ditch likewise lacks fan‑circle skills, yet she still attracted a sufficiently large fan base thanks to her solid performance back then.

Furthermore, unlike Aizhi's previously complex fan base, its quality is also relatively higher.

Just hearing about the oil tycoon who once gave a 1:1 dark‑matter energy angel makes one feel the greatness. jpg

During the period when Aomo was still notorious, these fans also showed a relatively steady quality when they heard the news that 'she was signed by Aomo'.

There was no frequent harassing phone bombardment like that of Aizhi's fan group.

Of course, this is premised on not discussing those fans who have already unfollowed.

But that's getting off track.

In short, it's not a big problem that the three girls under him don't have them.

Because they will eventually have them.

If the debut race yields a good result and fans accumulate steadily, then sooner or later they will have to consider producing this standard fan‑circle card set; even without grassroots volunteers, the official side will extend its tangible hand, later becoming intangible……Such matters are commonplace in other industries, and Aomo is not worried.

The only thing that could worry him is the Hope Stakes, which is somewhat close to the Arima Memorial.

Because at the beginning of the month, although several little girls showed quite cooperative behavior, deep down he was still unhappy, since being on the same team inevitably leads to comparing who is better.

Although he never says it aloud, Aomo knows they all had the expectation of colliding in their debut races.

This is obviously only a childish fantasy, because a mature trainer knows how foolish such pre‑emptive internal consumption is.

What determines the superstructure is always the foundation; the foundation of the horse‑racing world can never escape the saying that the debut race is key—an excellent debut race is an excellent start, and fans, prize money, and even the horse girls' mental state are all closely related to it.

And the trainer Linton, who must thoroughly study the ability to balance water with the multiple horse girls under him, naturally ought to research, in all G1 races recognized by the association, which column can serve as a debut race, and then promptly scramble the schedules for everyone.

Everyone understands and accepts the reasoning, but the result is that even Chazuo, who usually has the best temper, ends up a little awkward.

This is the reason why, in the schedule he discussed with Bi Ze, there appeared going mountain‑climbing with Chazuo and playing GBN with Bourbon.

Likewise being experimented on by Suzi, and also because there were too many matters to mention together, going to the plush‑toy theme museum with Aizhi—all of these are the costs incurred for balancing water.

Of course, among these, Suzi's dissatisfaction is particularly noticeable.

Not only did Chazuo and Bourbon come first, but also the presence of non‑horse‑girls cutting into Aomo's daily routine; the so‑called possessiveness is thus a quite normal occurrence, unlike the previously mysterious triggers in Aomo's eyes.

But even if he passes the debut race hurdle, those girls who have just come down from the mountain and don't know what an opponent is each have the courage and determination to fight in succession.

Aomo originally expected that the veteran Bopang and the experienced Aizhi would dissuade the two juniors, but those two also turned out to have enthusiasm far beyond expectation.

You guys really aren't afraid of battle-scarred psychosis, huh. jpg

Having already experienced a round of the cost of balancing water, Aomo could foresee that during periods like the Arima Memorial, the Dream Cup, and Christmas, he wouldn't have free time to again pay the cost of balancing water, so he had to choose short-term pain for long-term gain.

——He satisfied these belligerent kids' expectations by entering a race that everyone was participating in.

And that race was precisely the Hopeful Stakes held a few days before the Arima Memorial.

It's coming up next week.
