Chapter 1926: NO.546: Have confidence in the existing regulations

NO. 546: Have confidence in the existing regulations.

People are changeable.

While the vast majority of animals are still reacting to simple natural environments, or rather changes in their survival environment, humans have already achieved a higher level of perception——

Language, culture, and all the complex information created by humanity have shaped the human brain structure that surpasses many other creatures, while also enabling them to feedback in the process of perception→understanding and to make changes.

Most of the time, this is unconscious.

Just as ordinary people do not pay too much attention to their breathing frequency, nor overly control whether they step left or right foot in daily life, the meaning and regularity behind all that is taken for granted are only mentioned in the needs of a few, and mentioning them implies that those taken-for-granted things will be exploited.

So——!

Beware of Ailisuzhi. jpg

Beware of the words that guide thought, beware of the meaning behind the actions; this has now become a consensus, and even the performance that made her popular on the Jidong Derby has long been slowed down, dissected, and analyzed countless times as a model example.

Planning and execution.

This eternal proposition of the horse racing circle has never had a standard answer.

Of course, there still isn't one.

The footage of the Jidong Derby merely enriches a teaching sample; it is still insufficient to be upheld as gospel.

But because it is the most stunning performance of the current generation, countless people have high hopes for it, while at the same time, other contemporary athlete teams regard it as their primary threat.

Review, dismantle, observe, and deduce.

Lay out every tiny movement and thought from those few minutes of running, as well as any ambiguous actions whose intent—whether ulterior or mere coincidence—is unclear, and then conduct a comprehensive classification and analysis——

Beware of repeating old tricks, and especially guard against targeted countermeasures!

——This intention might not be enough to cover all players, for a single failure is not enough to erase arrogance.

There will still be those who pride themselves on their own abilities and believe that Ailisuzhi's scheming is insufficient to restrain them after months of training.

Schemes eventually run out; only the results of tempered training a thousand times over are the answer!

Speaking of nothing else, Senlinbaoxue thinks exactly that.

This is not her fault, after all; there remains an impolite fact lodged in the hearts of her trainer and supporters, the Flaming Swift Steed.

——Senlinbaoxue isn't very good at thinking. jpg

——nor is she the type to consciously pay attention to micro-operations.

Having her follow the results of our analysis and analysis to carry out prevention is largely a wishful thought; in that case, we might as well just let her be and believe in her. Hoping that her chosen violent breakthrough will support her decision is exactly the path they insist on.

The idea isn't impossible; it just contains a few parts of gambling.

Betting that Ailisuzhi's calculations will affect mainly those who battle wits and courage, and betting that Senlinbaoxue's steps can truly trample everything.

Both types of wagers likewise encompass most players' choices, precisely because after personally experiencing and post-race review, belatedly realizing that after a series of calculations there still remains confidence to compete with her in race strategy—such players are truly few.

This is also unavoidable.

At that time, not even realizing how they lost or how the opponent won, a group of newcomers whose frustration built up had to wait for post‑race analysis to gain a slight understanding, and then their frustration didn't lessen but grew worse.

Indeed, it is very difficult to unearth similar talent.

Never mind them; even Ailisuzhi's surge in popularity had a vacuum period in the first two days.

A large crowd of lay spectators must wait for all the experts to take the stage and give their analysis before they can straightforwardly praise the champion's strength—this level of understanding threshold, when placed among newcomers under a year old, already counts as quite exceptional suppression.

The ability to overlook the entire field while inside the racecourse requires both talent and training; whether it is talent or training, it is a tremendous obstacle that others find hard to replicate, and even if one pursues it, results are hard to see in the short term.

Thus the choice presented to everyone is just that bland, at most merely adding another gambling option——

——betting on the advantage of being the defender.

One‑on‑one there is no hope of winning, but since it is an offense‑defense battle, with oneself defaulting to a passive defensive position, one ought to have some advantage to exploit.

That advantage can either be the extreme schedule of this long‑distance race, or the fact that there are as many as seventeen opponents who, theoretically, are likewise to be calculated by Ailisuzhi—in short, it is the numerous moving targets of unexpected incidents and confusion‑induced locking in the long‑distance race.

And once the race starts, offense and defense can shift, right?

【Counter‑pursuit strategy】

【Make the pursuer anxious】

【Make the pursuer hesitant】

【Passionate gaze】

…

"Gate‑exit successful! One sound, one meeting, the cold‑silver light slightly delayed! But the gap isn't big! However, Ailisuzhi! What's wrong with Ailisuzhi!!"

"Look to the right," the commentator's reminder could be called leading from the front, as he recited the list of skills showing red‑tier levels: "Just like the opening scene of the Jidong Derby a few months ago, and this time it undoubtedly shows even greater aggression."

A few months ago, the opening stage of the Jidong Derby was dominated by resentment. Fourteen horse girls collectively directed the resentment over lost attention toward the four horse girls trained by the same trainer, thereby allowing Mancheng Chazuo to thrive like a fish in water and pass through the most smoothly proceeding opening stage.

However, today a few months later, the target is the same, the grudge just as deep, yet this time it is further mixed with much anger and malice, tracing steps even more vicious than before to draw the most poisonous footwork！

"Restrain! Suppress! Inhibit! Create disadvantage! Direct targeting, uncommon in GI events, has appeared on the racecourse! Even merely in the opening stage they formed a central‑group formation blockade! What a perilous racecourse！"

"It's practically about to become that breath‑taking Orient Express right now!"

The stands erupted in an uproar.

Indeed, the host's use of the famous detective's works for metaphor is not wise.

Because the motive in Murder on the Orient Express is both revenge and punishment, it easily brings extreme rhythms to his commentary career.

But at present, those who don't have time to think too much or over‑interpret will simply sink into that apt metaphor, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Given the horse racing field's history of over a thousand years, there really isn't much novelty. Multiple participants jointly target a certain rider, even voluntarily sacrificing some advantage to hinder that rider, and further lining up to block the opponent's advance—this has long been listed as permissible after repeated debate in the association.

But there are limits.

Just as prohibiting high‑speed diagonal crossing—which is both dangerous and heinous—does not forbid lane changes, obstructing the line of travel is a common maneuver on the track.

Collective obstruction also has defined limits of number and distance; once exceeded, it not only disqualifies the competitor but also imposes a substantial period of career‑long suspension.

On the racecourse of GI events, no competitor has dared to violate this regulation for over two hundred years.

Everyone only dares to test the edges of the limits, carrying out a brief, nerve‑racking interference to one's own career, earning deserved boos, belittlement, and even abuse—and that is why most of today's spectators are merely gripping a cold sweat.

Not like Shima and Qianla, shouting loudly:

Hey! What's up with this bunch of bastards! / Kora! How come they're like this!!

No need to rush~

Although not sitting with the Shima Team, Aomo was also shaken by the connection mic situation, raising his hand to lower the listening volume.

Keep watching.
