Chapter 837 Is That Your Horse, Or Your Wife?
The main building of the racetrack, not to mention the Tang Dynasty more than 1,300 years ago, is impossible to build even in modern times.
Because this is a pure wooden multi-stand racetrack, a bit like an irregularly shaped, not round or square wooden Colosseum.
At the same time, it carries tens of thousands of spectators watching the game, cheering and jumping, and maintains a solid and stable wooden building, which cannot be reproduced in reality.
But the virtual world is very simple, it's just a matter of changing a parameter.
Of course, in order to give the audience a strong sense of reality, Yunmeng did not make the stand completely indestructible, but set an upper limit of strength, and added "vibration feedback", so that the stand will vibrate with the players' jumps.
Once a large number of players keep beating at the same frequency, the stands will also collapse.
The development team also set an achievement for this: [Weight of Enthusiasm]
However, no star-level riders have been born yet, and naturally there is no support from fans. This achievement has not been achieved yet.
Most of the spectators in the stands are gamblers who place bets. The proportion of players who just watch the horse racing is not high, and the atmosphere is mainly created by NPC spectators.
However, star players will appear sooner or later, and the development team also has a plan to speed up this process-as soon as the Chinese New Year is over!
On the high platform in the middle of the arena, the NPC [everyone knows]—that is, the host of the Tang Dynasty, loudly introduced the last contestant and the horse race with a tin horn, and the NPC audience cheered enthusiastically.
Then Duzhi put down the horn, took a huge steel whip, swung it with all his strength, and then yanked it——
"Snapped!!!"
The deafening sonic boom resounded throughout the arena!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the whip, the well-trained racehorse rushed out of the starting line in an instant, and started to sprint with four hooves!
The host threw down the whip, raised the loudspeaker again and shouted: "The race begins! The one who takes the lead - Hongchen! The mount - uh..."
The high-pitched, passionate host froze for a moment, then quickly continued——
"The mysterious dark horse that became a blockbuster when it first set foot on the field!"
In fact, it is just an ordinary dark horse, which can even be classified as an inferior horse in the arena.
But by chance, this "inferior horse" made his debut and rushed directly to the first echelon!
Hong Chen lowered his body and galloped wildly. The long wind blew through his hair, which brought him a kind of heartfelt happiness.
He couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, knowledge is power!"
You can't rent a top racehorse by renting, but by relying on knowledge, you can raise an ordinary racehorse to a level that is good enough to compete with top racehorses!
What he originally wanted to study was the powerful "poison" drug that made people "hot and itchy" and undressed during the closed test.
But I don't know what went wrong, a lot of time wasted, countless materials were wasted, and it still couldn't be matched.
Fortunately, his research is not completely fruitless, at least some by-products have been born, and the [stimulant] he just fed to the horse is the most effective one among them.
After confirming the effect of this thing, he immediately thought of horse racing.
Although the main quest has not reached this point yet, but the open world, come and play in advance, it is still possible to withdraw money or something.
It just so happened that he had already spent too much money to buy materials and research potions, and it would be unsustainable if he didn't echo the blood.
Now he really rushed to the first place. The host's voice was full of shock, and the audience cheered for him.
However, this situation did not last forever - the racehorse under his crotch had just run half a lap, and suddenly began to sweat profusely, and his body was trembling a bit.
Hong Chen sensed this subtle change, looked down, and found that Saima turned to look at him while running.
"?"
Not to mention that Hong Chen was stunned for a moment, the audience and host were also stunned.
All the horses on the field are running forward with all their strength, how can they have the time to look around?
Not to mention turning your head back!
But this horse not only runs faster than anyone else, but also looks back at the rider leisurely!
No one knows why.
But Hong Chen came to his senses: 'This means...another pack? '
But now it's no more than the preparation stage, he's leading the race, and he's really attracting attention. Wouldn't it be open cheating to give medicine at this time?
Or take a gamble that others can't see clearly?
After a moment of hesitation, the players behind caught up—stimulants are not strengthening drugs, and the distance they open is not large.
Seeing that he was about to be overtaken by other players, Hongchen heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone huddled together to cover each other, but it was easy to maneuver.
He quickly took off his gloves, sprinkled the medicine on his hands, and stretched it out to give Brother Ma a good lick.
After licking Hongchen's hand, the black horse immediately regained its momentum, snorted and galloped again, and began to overtake!
After a short chase, Hongchen returned to the first place!
The host sang praises again, and the cheers of the audience resounded throughout the arena.
"Cool!"
Hongchen raised his arms to respond to the audience's call.
The dark horse took the lead for half a lap again, and then started sweating again...
This time, Hongchen has already practiced perfectly, he quickly reached out to dip the medicine, and sent it to the horse to lick.
After all, the host was far away and couldn’t see clearly. He was still shocked: "The first jockey calmed down his horse again! Encouraged by the rider, his horse accelerated again!"
"Is the potential of this horse endless?!"
When Hongchen reached out to touch the horse's head for the fourth time, and the black horse excitedly stretched out its tongue to lick his hand, the players in the arena and audience finally felt something was wrong——
As for being so intimate, so hungrily?
Every time I run half a lap, I have to kiss, touch and act like a baby?
Is that your horse, or your wife?
Two and a half laps later, the horse racing reached the limit again, Hong Chen was already prepared, and stretched out his hand again. At the same time, I am glad: I have to prepare enough for this thing.
In the stands, many players finally discovered the problem:
"Damn it! He has something in his hand! What about the organizer? It doesn't matter?!"
"Fuck, hack my money? Brothers! Go to the end and kill him!"
"By the way, it seems that the use of doping is not prohibited in the competition rules?"
"There was a hair stimulant in ancient times! Why should it be banned if there is no such thing?"
...
Hong Chen's friend stood in the stands, surrounded by a large number of angry players, trembling all over, for fear that others would notice that he had cheered Hong Chen on.
Seeing a group of people angrily jumping over the railing and rushing towards the arena, he could only silently wish Hongchen good luck.
——He also put half of his money on Hong Chen.
The shocked voice of the host sounded again:
"Unbelievable! This horse actually has the blood of a bloody BMW!"
"No wonder it has such strength, it can ride the dust!"
After being reminded by the host, the audience all noticed the special situation of the horse under Hongchen's crotch, and there were loud exclamations again in the arena.
But on the field, Hong Chen panicked.
This horse has a fart sweat blood BMW blood! It is really impossible to rent it to him for two taels of silver.
The reality is: after two and a half laps at the limit, the horse seems to be unable to hold on!
Its sweat had already dried up in the first two laps, and what is flowing out now is not "blood-like sweat", but real "blood"!
His trouser legs were stained red.
Immediately, something worse happened - the horse went crazy!
It slowed down and turned around without warning, and hit the horse beside it. The unprepared rider was knocked down instantly, the horse neighed and fell, and the rider was also thrown down, rolling on the track.
And then the next horse!
Finally, when he hit the third horse, he was knocked down hard himself.
The track was so wide that three serious crashes and falls in a row had an immediate and catastrophic chain reaction, with horses and riders crashing down a large swath.
If this were true, they would have to retire collectively on the spot.
Fortunately, the game is not so cruel, as long as the horses are kept for a period of time, and then the fear of the game can be relieved, they can continue to play.
From the beginning of the game to the present, Splash, who has been falling behind the main force, looked at the players in front who fell to the ground with a splash, and a question mark slowly appeared in his head.
Under her control, the white horse accurately jumped over Lin Shun's head, and somehow won the first place.
He was also one of only three finishers in the game.
Xia Yi pushed the horse's head off her body and sat up, looking at the finish line twenty meters away, somewhat depressed.
But thinking that I can make a lot of money, I feel much better.
——The three of them beat each other to win before the game started. Xia Yi's bet on Splash, this time, she directly earned three times!
But Hongchen not only loses penniless, but also the horse he rented is seriously injured, and he has to pay compensation to the racecourse. For a while, he just feels that life is hopeless.
