Chapter 1409: NO．25：Love of the Gods

NO．25：Love of the Gods

Early in the morning, before the activity room's gathering and training schedule even started, Aomo had already received Qianming's contact.

As for why it was a contact rather than showing up in person, naturally it was because she was still working in the infirmary.

It wasn't that they would simply abandon work after returning to the field; at least Qianming's representation and Ludaofu Xiangzheng did not.

Not only them, but even Narita Bai Ren and Tianlangxing Xiangzheng, who had no fixed jobs, also maintained a consistent lifestyle rhythm.

The sort of skipping class to run around and loiter, the sort of lingering around the billiard tables, instead gave Aomo a certain illusion.

An illusion that 'adult horse girls are carefree and wouldn't come here for no reason'.

This is naturally an illusion, after all, before being invited to sign contracts, Narita Bai Ren and Qianming's representation had come to the activity room to hang out more than once.

Occasionally, Tianlangxing Xiangzheng would come by to cause trouble, trying to disrupt his quiet reading environment.

But at that time, Aomo felt these three were simply too idle, visiting too often; yet after truly becoming their trainer, he felt they were too casual, showing up at the office too rarely, as if they were enjoying winter break.

Do you still remember the matter of coming out of retirement?

The four adult horse girls, each with different personalities, even if each had a carefree side, ought not to all simultaneously display this tacit understanding to the trainer.

In Aomo's view, this was just a continuation of the banquet prank from before.

It also resembled an old rule that a newcomer trainer wouldn't know—ideally it should exist; Aomo didn't care for this sort of information that was entirely missing from reports, only discernible in some ambiguous, ridiculous remarks, and merely because he hadn't seen these four show up at the activity room in the first two days of school, other trainers would probably be worried.

But because the original training schedule indeed did not include these two days, and over the previous two-plus months, the planned schedule of thirteen sessions had proceeded without a single miss, steadily carried out by those four without absence… so Aomo felt completely at ease.

Even if he had previously met Ludaofu in the university department's Room 102, and on several occasions on campus roads had righteously assisted by calling Qianming to summon stretchers and transport robots, he never casually brought up training topics.

Because after the past two months, his current perspective on this matter has also gained a new understanding.

Perhaps this is neither a continuation of a prank nor an old rule known only to himself.

Perhaps they simply did not want to add unnecessary pressure on himself and their juniors.

Over these two months, Aomo Lindun himself has participated in campus programs, given interviews, appeared on variety shows, engaged in merchandising collaborations, and even linked up with entrepreneurs from the monster industry for joint projects, thereby feeling the weight of being a well-known public figure from all angles.

Although the two are not closely related, this experience indeed gave Aomo a more refined and diverse reference for societal superstructure information.

He also felt somewhat close to the scenery those few had seen back then, thus giving rise to understandings he previously lacked.

And if this understanding were to be summed up in a single phrase……

It is the separation of public and private.

Separation of public and private is a virtue everyone praises, for it not only can eradicate the all-too-common corruption and self-serving use of power, but also effectively curb the likelihood of colleagues and superiors sending messages on days off.

Compared to the former's always vague and distant benefit, the latter, which is within immediate reach, is what people today value more as practical.

Maintaining distance from superiors eliminates most pressure stemming from admiration and awe, allowing the demon person to more naturally sustain that tacit understanding with them, until it was first broken by Qianming's representation.

Aomo was not particularly surprised by this.

After all, in his view, these four all had the potential to break this tacit understanding that had lasted over two months, like Ludaofu's uprightness, Sirius's commanding demeanor, Narita Bai Ren's straightforwardness, and Qianming's representation's wind-like freedom.

——All it takes is one idea, one occasional need, and these people can break this tacit understanding that, in Aomo's eyes, is as fragile as rootless duckweed.

Indeed, the facts are exactly so.

Even not because of them themselves, but because of Gechengwangpai outside the small circle——

Wangpai Ge left the fully equipped training ground unused and completely deserted; only after Qianming activated her network to inquire did they receive news that she might have gone again to the back mountain.

No need for doubt—just a glance at the AI Bayeer Turkey-open campus surveillance clip, and Aomo could directly confirm this information composed of several uncertain eyewitness reports.

The most striking features of horse girls are usually two: shooting stars and ear coverings.

The white ear covering with two blue lines flanking a red line, plus the extending red-ball tassel, fully displays a strong personal style; even just a silhouette, paired with black hair, is enough for Aomo to wave his hand, indicating no need to fetch earlier data from other surveillance.

At Central Tressen, the genuine Three Goddesses may not be present, but the AI-simulated Three Goddesses are always on duty.

Even the guidance for exercise direction based on body measurements submitted in the gym—that simple AI handling the calculation—under the coverage of the AI Three Goddesses' authorization, draws its computational resources from the AI Three Goddesses.

Roughly speaking, the AI Three Goddesses act as part-time fitness coaches at the central gym, assisting all trainers and horse girls with their fitness training plans.

——This conclusion, which occasionally pops up in jokes among some students and trainers, is essentially just a far-fetched stretch.

But when the AI Three Goddesses give special attention, or rather—when users with higher priority in computational judgment authorization are involved—it is undoubtedly true.

This is strong artificial intelligence.

Whether it's the Heart of Terra or the AI Three Goddesses, these high-level AIs follow the same pattern: they linger there, voyeuristically spying on everyone via the internet, yet only respond to those 'specially attended' requests.

Besides that, they go and stab to death some criminals who think they are well concealed.

Having the label of 'human heart' does not necessarily improve its image; it may instead bind a new sense of heaviness.

Aomo is fairly accustomed to this; he has no intention of discussing the binding of destiny and heaviness, but merely upon confirming the information's truth while the fitness trainer lent a hand, his mind began to stir again.

Without a doubt, this is a good start.

The purpose of the worry‑venting board is to subtly guide trainers, leading them to purify themselves and achieve the goal of renewal for the horse girls.

But outside the worry‑venting board?

Many trainers, for various reasons, are unwilling to sit opposite, just like this Chao Cang Lu before us.

Even Sai Luo, who clearly has a deep affinity with the horse girls, yet persistently refuses to become a trainer, unwilling to have deeper ties with those girls.

Those who are not trainers are actually closer to the horse girls' inner selves than trainers with a 'superior' status.

They possess a perspective on influencing and interfering with horse girls' growth that is entirely different from that of trainers.

Without this self‑awareness, they will arbitrarily abuse this power, or perhaps simply waste it, letting those horse girls wander into dead‑end side paths.

Who knows how many times such things have happened in the past, while the Three Goddesses, who ought to have guided this, have always remained indifferent.

Loving everyone is precisely the manifestation of nobody loving anyone; the so‑called benevolent god pays no heed to these matters, for only fondness leads to indulgence, while love's expression is usually restraint.

The exceedingly restrained gods naturally gaze upon the most outstanding talents, while the demons that never heed these things instead look toward those with deep‑seated obsessions pursuing them.

Unrestrained and direct.

As the sole demon person of this academy, Aomo deeply knows that this task largely falls to him alone.
