A Treasure He Couldn't Afford to Keep

"Mr. Jiang, my name is Xiao Bing. I'm the client manager at Jade Dragon Horse Farm. I just saw your horse, Mr. Jiang. It's truly a beautiful, fine horse. Could you provide its pedigree certificate so we can add it to our management database?" Manager Xiao said politely.

People who could afford to keep good horses were generally genuinely wealthy, so Manager Xiao naturally treated him very well.

A horse's pedigree certificate was extremely important, especially for a top-quality horse. It listed the horse's name, date of birth, parental lineage, sex, coat color, and other details. Every pedigreed horse had its own number, which served as its lifelong identification code.

Jiang Hao shook his head. His Crimson Horse had been a system reward from the Great Han Dynasty. Where was he supposed to get a pedigree certificate?

Xiao Bing asked in some surprise, "May I ask about your horse's origins?"

"It was a gift from a friend," Jiang Hao said succinctly.

Xiao Bing paused, then smiled. "Your friend is certainly generous. In that case, your horse has never been registered. I recommend giving it a comprehensive, detailed examination, then registering it."

"Can that be done here?" Jiang Hao asked.

Xiao Bing smiled. "Of course. We provide that service. We can register your horse with the National Equestrian Association. The registration fee isn't high, only 500 yuan per horse."

"So the examination fee is the expensive part?" Jiang Hao said.

The smile on Xiao Bing's face widened. "I believe these expenses are necessary, and they're even more essential for your beloved horse. The examination includes all sorts of physical fitness tests, speed tests from 1,000 meters to 5,400 meters, vaccinations, and so on. It's basically the complete package. Mr. Jiang, since you own such a fine horse, surely you don't mind
