[Factor Inheritance: Greatly increases the probability of the descendant host inheriting superior talents.]
[Three Months Paid Leave (One-time): Accumulated over ten years by Manner and Linguang, this allows for an immediate three-month paid leave.]
Lin Anran slowly typed out a question mark.
"Wait, is this even useful for me?"

61. Platinum's Descendant Factor Inheritance? Can she achieve the Triple Crown?
"Wait, is this even useful for me?"
Lin Anran gazed at the rewards on the system panel, lost in thought for a long time.
A strange [Factor Inheritance]? And this [Three Months Paid Leave (One-time)]?
It's actually three months of vacation that Old Manner, the diligent worker, painstakingly saved up over ten years?
Am I taking Old Manner's vacation? Is this for real?
Lin Anran did recall that in the famous scene at Kazimierz, Platinum·Centaurea was the ultimate workaholic, always working overtime, always fighting monsters stronger than herself.
Manner was also a workaholic, with very little vacation time, saving up only this much after ten years of work.
All I can say is, that land is truly terrifying!
Fortunately, I transmigrated into this world of pure, innocent horse girls and harmonious, loving Uma Musume!
Forget making money and taking vacations; on that continent, without a cheat, just surviving would be good enough. It's no wonder that the Platinum I transformed into could win Uma Musume races...
And this one-time vacation reward for Old Manner's leave is something no one would dislike! I can use it later when I want to travel or have an urgent matter, allowing me to visit Europe or America for a full three months!
However, the other reward, this [Factor Inheritance], is something Lin Anran completely doesn't understand.
Is this system reward for improvement really useful?
It greatly increases the probability of the descendant host inheriting superior talents, but I don't have much to inherit myself.
I can't even determine or guarantee what superior talents will be inherited or what they might be.
Plus, I'm still so young. I need to focus on making money and collecting gold coins from these pure and innocent horse girls first.
Who knows how long it will be before I consider marriage or dating, let alone having children!
Not to mention, even the descendants of many GI champion Uma Musume might struggle to win even the lowest-tier GIII stakes races, so the enhancement probably won't amount to much.
Assessment complete: Useless reward (pending verification)! It will likely be useless for at least the next ten years, right?
The black-hearted young doctor sighed regretfully, completely uninterested in this [Factor Inheritance].
Since the reward has been given, I can only say it's better to have it than not.
After reviewing the rewards, Lin Anran's attention shifted.
"Next, I'll just wait for Teio to give me gold coins and prepare for the final Kikuka Sho, right?"
The Kikuka Sho is the real main event. I can ignore everything else, but not this race!
As long as I win that race, Heavenly Horse Platinum's [Triple Crown of Transformation] will be completely achieved!
At that time, she will permanently gain [Intermediate Healing Ability] and have two uses of [Advanced Healing Ability], completely becoming a divine doctor!
Then, I won't just be able to treat minor injuries in Uma Musume; I might even be able to treat the injuries of the noble ladies from Europe and America!
It sounds like such a wonderful and beautiful thing, filling Lin Anran with anticipation.
So no matter what... the Kikuka Sho, I absolutely cannot lose, I must win!
Lin Anran doesn't think the Kikuka Sho will be easy. Although Agnes Tachyon won't be there, her friend Manhattan Cafe will!
I may not understand the foreign Uma Musume who give gold coins, but I understand the Japanese Uma Musume who give gold coins very well.
At this time, Manhattan Cafe, who seems unremarkable compared to Agnes Tachyon and Jungle Pocket, will become a monster recorded in history!
Kikuka Sho – Arima Kinen – Spring Tenno Sho, these are the only three major long-distance GI races in Japan.
Manhattan Cafe is precisely one of the outstanding performers who achieved the Triple Crown of long-distance races in the game's background, accomplishing great feats that even many legendary Uma Musume couldn't achieve.
Therefore, in terms of long-distance racing alone, Manhattan Cafe has always been underestimated but is actually a terrifyingly strong existence.
The difficulty in the final Kikuka Sho will actually be the highest!
"It's truly a shame that I mistook that Sunday Quiet for Manhattan Cafe back then. They look similar, but their strength must be vastly different, right?"
To smoothly collect gold coins, Lin Anran was extremely cautious.
"Manhattan Cafe is quite strong. I absolutely cannot be careless in the final battle of the Triple Crown of Transformation, the Kikuka Sho!"
So...
We can't be careless with the Kikuka Sho; we need to switch to a different, easier-to-win racing style.
The Chaser style relies on excellent burst speed to go from last to first, but over a full 3000 meters, it's often not the optimal approach.
Plus, Platinum's Winning Live Costume has that transcendence special effect, and I want to try showcasing the effects of other racing styles!
So, we'll have to switch to a different style then.
"Then... how about [Runner] or [Galloper]!"
"Let's give that [Black Skyscraper, Manhattan Cafe] a surprise!"
Meanwhile.
In the courtyard of a villa belonging to the prestigious Satono family.
Kitasan Black, her childhood friend and close confidante, was sitting on the sofa next to Sato no Diamond.
Kitasan Black, who hadn't visited her friend's home in a long time, the petite and lively young Uma Musume, was astonished to find the entire living room filled with photos of the Uma Musume Platinum, who had won the Triple Crown of Transformation!
Kitasan Black's first reaction was joy, and she looked at the photos with great interest.
After all, both she and Little Diamond were huge fans of Miss Heavenly Horse!
After looking for a while, admiring many photos of Heavenly Horse in various cool poses, Kitasan Black turned her head.
She looked at her best friend, Sato no Diamond, still sitting on the sofa, head down, constantly tapping on her phone, sending something.
Suddenly, Kitasan Black remembered something.
Little Diamond...
Wasn't she originally a devoted, die-hard fan of Mejiro McQueen?
Why were all the photos on the walls and tables of Miss Platinum?
Kitasan Black recalled that the last time she visited, the place was filled with photos and merchandise of Mejiro McQueen and other stars.
At that time, Mejiro McQueen's items took up a significant portion, proving how much Sato no Diamond liked her.
But now, not a single one could be seen. Had they all been replaced and monopolized by Miss Platinum?
"Hey, Little Diamond..."
"You weren't this extreme when you liked Miss McQueen before!"
The lively and petite Kitasan Black looked at Sato no Diamond, utterly confused.
Sato no Diamond, without looking back, earnestly replied, her hands still tapping on the phone screen as if replying to something.
"Not from any prestigious family, yet she could shine so brightly on the track."
"When no one expected anything, she won her debut race by five lengths, then Looking Back at the Moon by ten lengths, and the Derby by over ten lengths!"
"Because Miss Platinum is just too brilliant! She's so beautiful, like a species not of this world!"
As she spoke, Sato no Diamond's breathing grew more rapid, and she continued.
"If I can't get close to Miss Platinum, my appearance, my figure, my social etiquette, my good character, even my soul will be ruined..."
She even raised her phone and handed it to her friend Kitasan Black, letting her see what she had been busy with on her phone.
When Kitasan Black looked...
It was a fan support website, with the title "Protecting the World's Best Platinum"?!
And Sato no Diamond had just posted there, praising her adoration for "Saint Heavenly Horse Platinum."
The content read:
[Daiya-chan: In astronomy, there's a definition called the Roche limit. Planets and satellites are constantly drawn closer by gravity, but there's a minimum safe distance between them. Once they exceed the Roche limit, tidal forces will tear the satellite apart.]
[Then that shattered and collapsed celestial body will turn into stardust, gradually gathering around the planet, forming a ring to embrace that planet...]
The bizarre content left Kitasan Black completely bewildered, tilting her head in confusion.
"Little Diamond, what exactly are you posting? Why don't I understand?"
Sato no Diamond closed her eyes, threw her head back, and spread her arms as if to embrace the radiant silver-white Heavenly Horse.
"What I mean is: it's fine to be shattered into pieces once in exchange for an eternal embrace from Miss Platinum."
Kitasan Black's expression froze, and the next moment she jumped up.
"Don't, don't go crazy here!"
In the student council office.
Symboli Rudolf, who was engrossed in her work, suddenly looked up.
She saw a woman in a green hat appearing at the door.
"Miss Shunkawa?"
"Is there something you need?"
Symboli Rudolf saw Shunkawa Tazuna walk in, holding several pages of paper.
"Mm, it's about the URA and Platinum,"
Shunkawa Tazuna nodded and began to speak.
"The current URA is already placing extreme importance on that little Heavenly Horse, and they're considering the level of promotional support for her."
"One, standard Triple Crown-level resource promotion, meaning the tier of Triple Crown Uma Musume like Chimei Representative and Narita Hakujin."
"Two, a historic gamble, directly aiming for [Godhood], expecting Platinum to achieve an unprecedented feat, just as you surpassed God Praise!"
God Praise, once known in Japan as the [Strongest Warrior], was an all-around and powerful Uma Musume who achieved difficult-to-surpass results, being the former [Japan's Strongest in History].
At that time, the URA's overwhelming race promotion slogans were all—[Surpass God Praise!].
In the end, it was Emperor Symboli Rudolf who achieved that great accomplishment, taking her place as the new Japan's Strongest in History.
The current URA values Platinum to such an exaggerated extent that they're starting with Triple Crown Uma Musume-level support!
They're even considering directly providing the same resource promotion as historical greats like God Praise and Symboli Rudolf?
If the current Platinum had already achieved the [Triple Crown of Transformation], which could be benchmarked against a Triple Crown or even an undefeated Triple Crown, then it wouldn't be strange for the URA to make such a choice and decision.
After all, that's a Triple Crown of Transformation that can barely find a few examples in all of world history!
But now, Platinum is still one race away from the final Kikuka Sho, which is a long-distance GI that intercepts the dreams of many two-crown Uma Musume, and it's vastly different from the middle distances of the previous two crowns.
From racing style to distance, as well as the possibility of formidable dark horses among the opponents... the numerous uncertain factors make the Kikuka Sho extremely difficult, and Uma Musume who can win the Kikuka Sho championship often possess astonishing hard strength.
