Chapter 166: Researching Here Truly Is Cultivation

It is worth mentioning that, in the Jidong area of this world, although in some cultures it is just as Bi Ze hoped for, an ideal like a two‑dimensional world.

But there are also bad habits, which are consistent across both worlds.

That is in the tools, especially the tools used for official work, which are astonishingly primitive and backward!

You can see a pile of paper files in a star‑level college archive room in the Star Alliance year 612, which in itself is extremely astonishing.

Tama, even the archive room of Li Men Middle School is a machine room; even paper documents are attached to electronic processors or inscribed rune overlay systems, and when unfolded they can directly display projected light screens or even fully automatic magical rune information bodies.

Of course, the difference between the two is actually not great. It's merely that the technical system splits into technology and source energy, with UI style differences being more obvious; their information storage capacities are roughly the same, essentially disks and information crystals disguised as books.

That is also the kind of paper document Aomo is most familiar with; unlike the archive room of Central Tresen, where documents are so retro that they really made him flip through them.

But what can be done about it?

We have to keep checking, right?

Even Pipa Chen Guang, who came to help, didn't complain or show any impatience; as the main person, what could he say?

Of course, as a graduate of this school, Pipa Chen Guang is probably very familiar with all of this.

What's more, intelligence indicates that Pipa Chen Guang often helped Narita Bai Ren wipe his butt in the student council while in school—meaning the tasks Bai Ren piled up while slacking off were handled by her.

On this point, it cannot be denied that her way of dealing with the world is quite similar to Aomo's.

Mastering intelligence and verifying it in practice, the tactic of knowing oneself and the enemy is Pipa Chen Guang's winning formula.

As a calm, intellectual type opposite in temperament to Narita Bai Ren, as long as you avoid mentioning words like 'head', 'face', or 'big', you can get along with her pleasantly.

Um… she is very conscious of her head, which is noticeably larger than that of many horse girls; her attitude when she inadvertently denied this in an interview shows it.

——She's annoyed!

Even saying something like 'really makes one's head big' could make her ears prick up; being this concerned likely stems from having been pointed out since childhood.

As a horse girl, the differences in appearance compared to peers her age easily lead to unpleasant childhood experiences.

If lucky, one can meet companions who admire horse girls, and they are usually quite popular.

At the next level, there can also be egalitarian companions who overlook peculiarities.

At worst, it's like being dumped into the Demon Realm District orphanage, Aomo, who doesn't fit in with the people around him and must rely solely on his own effort to determine his situation.

The promotion of horse racing events and the spread of horse‑girl culture also help improve the childhood situation of horse girls.

Even so, these are girls with delicate thoughts.

Furthermore, during the authentic period they become emotionally sensitive and often cannot find a goal direction.

Precisely for this reason, a trainer is needed.

Adults ought to guide children and dispel the fog.

"Do you have the trainer files for Miss Dazhenhan over there? Miss Chen Guang."

Aomo asked without raising his head, his eyes scanning the shelves holding volumes of files. On the shelf were freshly pasted paper slips, besides the damned kana, there were reassuring Chinese characters and English.

【Arima Kinen Race】

As the final Sunday race of each year held in the Jiemen District, a major stakes event, and also the last leg of the Autumn Ancient Horse Triple Crown, the Arima Kinen bears the heavy responsibility of wrapping up the year.

The top ten finishers are chosen by fan vote, the remaining six spots are determined by prize‑money ranking, making it the ultimate battleground of popularity.

Furthermore, there is no lifetime limit.

So Dazhenhan has run in two Arima Kinen races, with one loss and one win.

Aomo had already seen the file starting with 'd', and he lifted his hand to highlight the 【deepimpact】 file, which is slightly thicker than the other named files.

"Trainer? I remember her trainer being……"

The trainer of a Triple Crown horse girl would not be obscure; the reason Pipa Chen Guang couldn't answer off the cuff wasn't that her new job life had washed away her memory, but rather Aomo's interface:

"Nishizaki Yutaka, that's the current trainer, but before him there was also the deceased Dongzi Zhenren, whose records should also be here."

Like Miura Wave, Dazhenhan's racing career had two trainers, and the previous one left due to illness.

At the time, everyone thought this bad news would be a considerable blow to Dazhenhan, after all, the way those two got along, while not intimate, was also not bad.

In the public eye, Dongzi Zhenren had more than once shown favor to Dazhenhan, and although the latter's expression was rather reluctant, she still accepted it.

The relationship was almost like that of an older sister who dotes on her younger sister and a younger sister who doesn't really appreciate it.

Just as in the photo printed in the document Aomo previously flipped through, the trainer was handing a drink to the horse girl with a face full of earnestness, while the horse girl's face showed a hint of distress.

Tresen's files, primitive as they may be, still have excellent picture print quality; they can be said to be the highest standard of paper documents.

Aomo's evaluation is: the top stream of the sewer.

People's perseverance should not be easily yielded to, just as one should not submit to Toei's costume suits or Tsuburaya's makeup artist Lep's aesthetic.

No matter how many files one looks at, Aomo cannot approve of this antiquated information storage.

Then again, in terms of performance, Dongzi Zhenren's passing did not give Dazhenhan any noticeable impact.

After that, Dazhenhan's race performance not only did not decline but actually surpassed before, and everyone placed praise on the trainer who took over, Nishizaki Yutaka, saying his instruction was proper.

This is not baseless; it's because his subordinate horse girl Special Week also emerged after her debut race that same year, and by then he was already a renowned trainer.

"Are you looking for Nishizaki Yutaka and Dongzi Zhenren? I'm looking……" "Give priority to Dongzi Zhenren's files."

"Good!"

It seems truly to repay a favor, Pipa Chen Guang from start to finish merely asked what to look for, then helped, without inquiring into the reason.

Also, it is largely based on trust in his younger sister—when she arrived, Aomo, Qianming, and Bai Ren were just discussing afternoon affairs; within a few minutes it was settled, with Bai Ren and Qianming helping him act as proxy to look after his subordinate horse girls, while he would properly investigate the negative energy and Dazhenhan matters.

Until now, under the premise of no outsiders in the archive room, Aomo then utilized the tail manifestation of the Erlei Wang card.

Such a curve‑achieved partial demonization method can bind the negative‑energy humanoid he released from his briefcase.

The tail is the shackle; having been bound once, it obviously feels familiar.

It is indeed quite quiet; Aomo can turn his head and see it standing there.

This negative‑energy humanoid, ever since being caught, has remained quite calm, with no struggling reaction, instead making Aomo's control seem somewhat superfluous.

But he is also not stingy about doing something that seems superfluous.

At this moment, his eyes met the other's hollow gaze, as if in a silent stare; after a brief silence, he turned his head back and flipped through the document in his hand.

Then, after a few minutes, he waited for the document delivered by Pipa Chen Guang.

He was skimming through the several pages of material at a glance, but hadn't yet had time to look at Xiqi Feng's when both heard footsteps approaching outside the door, and soon after, a knocking sound.

Excuse me, I'm looking for a trainer named Aomo Lindun.

Thus far, the tedious paper‑information battle can come to an end.
