Chapter 207 (continued)
Even through the screen, Shi Wen was infected by the excitement, and the people at the scene erupted in loud shouts of encouragement.
Amidst the chaos, Shi Wen spotted Number Nine emerging from his own ranch.
Number Nine gained an advantage from the very beginning and has remained in the first tier ever since.
The rider on its back seemed to be one with it, the two of them charging forward, their beautiful muscles bulging with each stride, making it look like a sculpture.
Shi Wen intently at Number Nine. Amidst the chaotic background noise, he could still hear Zhan Chongyun's tense and heavy breathing.
That was so exciting!
Shi Wen distracted, thinking that horse racing really is a game that makes people's adrenaline surge.
On the track, the horses and riders worked in perfect harmony, galloping wildly across the course.
From the start of the race to the middle and then into the second half, the horses chased each other relentlessly, desperately trying to break away.
Number Nine has always been in the front row, and has even consistently been in the top three.
During this sprint phase, the horses increased their speed again, charging forward with all their might.
Number Nine is also putting in effort; surprisingly, it didn't go all out in the first half!
With a burst of power, its speed increased significantly, and it quickly overtook the racehorses on the side, firmly securing the first position.
No, its advantage is widening!
With all the racehorses in their final sprint, it surged exceptionally fast and clearly, racing forward with an unshakeable advantage.
"Ah--" Zhan Chongyun's shout erupted from the screen, and the phone shook violently.
Zhan Chongyun should have anticipated this scene.
However, upon seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but stand up excitedly, even forgetting that he was video Shi Wen.
Shi Wen guessed what he was doing, but he still found it hard to take his eyes off Number Nine.
With Shi Wen and Zhan Chongyun as witnesses, Number Nine, with unstoppable momentum, led his riders across the finish line.
The second-place runner was at least five meters behind!
That's incredible!
Shi Wen stared at Number Nine, unable to help but feel awe at it.
Just then, the screen flickered.
Zhan Chongyun's large face reappeared on the screen. "Brother Shi, did you see that?! Number Nine and its rider won first place!!!"
Zhan Chongyun: "I knew it would win first place, and I just wanted to witness it with you!"
Zhan Chongyun: "Today's race is a world-class competition in the Roujiasi Highlands. This is the first world-class race our horse has won, and it's a resounding victory!"
Shi Wen opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted again by Zhan Chongyun: "Too strong, leading by so much!"
Zhan Chongyun: "So many thoroughbreds came today, but not a single one that can fight! Hahaha!"
Zhan Chongyun spoke very quickly and excitedly.
Shi Wen had no choice but to shut his mouth and wait for him to finish speaking.
Zhan Chongyun rambled on and on, Shi Wen was about to reply, he excitedly said to Shi Wen, "Brother Shi, the rider is calling me. I'll go check it out. We'll talk later!"
Immediately afterwards, the screen displayed a message indicating the end of the call.
What kind of situation is this?
Shi Wen looked at his own face reflected on the screen, sighed helplessly, and put his phone in his pocket.
After the video call ended, Zhan Chongyun did not contact Shi Wen again until later that evening.
This time, before he could speak, Shi Wen interrupted, "If you don't give me a chance to speak and keep babbling on and on, I'll slap you."
Zhan Chongyun laughed and said, "No, I've calmed down now."
Shi Wen, "That's good. It seems your training has been quite effective lately."
Zhan Chongyun: "Thank you, Brother Shi. To be honest, both the horse and the rider have been training very hard these past few days. Heaven rewards the diligent, and we've finally won our first world-class championship."
"Congratulations," Shi Wen said sincerely. "Your rider and horse are very well coordinated; they are truly one."
Zhan Chongyun: "Yes, we put a lot of effort into training them. Actually, besides that, the main reason is that our logistical support is excellent. The feed delivered from the ranch is very popular with the horses, and they are very enthusiastic about training."
Shi Wen: "What feed? All feed?"
Zhan Chongyun: "That's right! The horses love all the feed that comes from your ranch."
Shi Wen wasn't surprising, as the grass they grew had a much higher Abilities value than ordinary grass, making it a favorite food for all herbivores. Otherwise, so many animals wouldn't have come to their ranch before.
After a brief chat, Shi Wen steered the conversation back to the main topic. "You said you wanted to feed the horses with Cistanche deserticola. Why would you feed them Cistanche deserticola if you have nothing better to do?"
Zhan Chongyun blurted out, "The semen of a horse seller!"
Shi Wen: "Hmm?"
Zhan Chongyun: "Well, the horses are getting old, aren't they? They can't find young mares anymore. After they go into heat, they have so much semen that they can't use it all. Someone contacted me to buy it, so I was thinking of selling it."
Before Shi Wen could speak, Zhan Chongyun quickly added, "I haven't sold it yet; I'm planning to discuss it with you first. Right now, the price offered for our horse semen outside is tens to over a hundred pesos per milliliter. The price varies from horse to horse, but it's quite popular."
Shi Wen, "Don't outside buyers prefer thoroughbreds?"
He had heard that the semen of a champion horse could fetch thousands of pesos per milliliter, while the semen of other horses was rarely sought after.
Zhan Chongyun: "Actually, no. They tend to favor whichever horse performs well and achieves excellent results in the competition. Our horses have always had very good racing results. Although they haven't won a world championship before today, they are still top performers on the track, and we get quite a few inquiries."
Shi Wen said, "I see."
Zhan Chongyun: "I want Cistanche deserticola because I want them to perform better during the breeding season. Brother Shi, didn't you allow each member to buy ten grams of Cistanche deserticola? I was thinking, could the horses have this benefit too?"
