The weather forecast on TV yesterday said that on the 18th of the world spring month in Ore Town, which is today, the weather was set by the goddess to be sunny?, the sky is cloudless?, and the southeast wind is level 3, which is suitable for people to go out for an outing. Or great weather for hard work.
Of course, it is also suitable for people to hold various outdoor activities!
However, I don’t know why. I woke up from the bed in a daze, then subconsciously glanced at the small alarm clock next to the bedside table, and then subconsciously glanced at the miscellaneous wood and tools piled at the other end of the house. Afterwards, Annie always felt that something was not quite right about today's events?
"..."
(ー`′ー)
"Strange! It's almost nine o'clock in the morning. Why hasn't Uncle Gotz come to knock on the door and start working? People remember that he usually comes on time at six o'clock to make noises. Why hasn't he come yet yet? Seeing the figure, could it be that you were too fast asleep just now, so you didn’t hear the knock on the door?”
(°ー°〃)
After sitting for a while, Annie scratched her head and thought with some uncertainty, as if she wanted to figure out what made today's situation different from the past?
"..."
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
"Is it because I overslept today, didn't hear the knock on the door, and didn't open the door? Then Uncle Gotz went back in anger and didn't plan to help him renovate the house?!"
(；′⌒`)
"but……"
(^～^;)ゞ
"It seems that they really didn't hear the knock on the door...could it be...that Uncle Gotz, like that useless Uncle Zach, are both sick and on leave?"
(lll￢ω￢)
After thinking wildly for a while, she even made an exception and used magic to look back at the time. She was very sure that no one had knocked on her door in the past three hours from 06:00 in the morning to nearly nine o'clock now. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and began to think hard again.
As for Uncle Gotz, who was fine yesterday, worked very hard, was very conscientious and was very punctual, Anne did not think that he would be sick. Therefore, if he did not come to her house on time to work today, there must be something else. She didn't know, or something else happened!
"hateful!"
(′～`●)
"It seems that I accidentally forgot something very important..."
??(??￣?￣)????
Anne, who was sitting on the bed and holding a blanket, was struggling... Yes, she had a vague intuition that she had accidentally forgotten something very important, but when she thought about it seriously, she seemed to be unable to remember it. And she also felt that there must be some subtle connection with why Uncle Gotz didn't come to her house today?
But……
(?~?)
What is going on?
This problem is very serious, Queen Anne needs to think about it carefully, think about it again, think about it hard...
(…)
(￢?￢.)
(Report! Dear little master... Today is the 18th, an important day for the spring horse racing in Ore Town. Didn't you still want to take the pony to participate in it yesterday? Why did you forget it now?
ε=(′?｀●)))Alas
——No way, Tibbs, the little puppy, ran into the house at some point and found his bad little master sitting on the bed, struggling and mumbling to himself, but he couldn't think of anything. After it looked pitiful that something important was going on, it kindly reminded the other party. )
"ah!!"
!(;?o?)o
"Ah! That's right! Did you remember it? Isn't it just the game at the Rose Square? Yesterday, that bad-nosed Mayor Thomas came here to tell people about it? Why did he forget that important thing when he woke up? What’s up?”
━(?Δ?∥)━ン
Finally, after being reminded by her own Tibbers, Anne finally remembered.
"no!!"
o(*｀ー′)o
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Tibbers? We have to hurry up? Otherwise it may be too late~!!"
ε=ε=￣???\(“▔□▔)/
After saying that, Anne quickly jumped out of bed, put on her shoes in an instant, and then an idea came to her. She used magic to change her clothes instantly, and she was about to take her dogleg Tibbers to the specialized store on the east side of the town. Run to Rose Square, which is used for festival celebrations.
(But... Dear little master, why does the spring horse racing meeting start at ten o'clock? They are making some preparations right now? There is still an hour before the start, what can you do if you go so early?
(lll￢?￢)
——Tibbers knows that Rose Square is currently blocked by a large group of workers who are busy setting up the venue? And the carpenter Gotz is also busy there. This is why the other party did not show up this morning. Come here to knock on the door and come in to do work? The reason why you didn’t saw the wood and knock! )
"ah!!"
(?￣?￣)
"That's right! It seems that the mayor of Thomas Town also said that it won't start until ten o'clock..."
(*^▽^*)
Anne looked at the small alarm clock on the bedside table. The time currently displayed was 09:01... Obviously, there was still almost an hour before the official opening time of Ten O'clock Square. If she went now, compared to that time, Is it really too early for a distance that can be covered in less than ten minutes of walking?
\ \\
"..."
(ー`′ー)
"Forget it! Let's just sleep for a while..."
ヾ(⌒?⌒*)hehe?
Feeling that it was still early, and finally knowing why Uncle Gotz didn't come to work, little Annie, who was no longer surprised, thought about it for a moment, and simply spread out her hands and feet without taking off her shoes. Lying back on her little bed.
Now that she finally had something to stop Uncle Gotz from disturbing her sleep so early in the morning, Annie definitely needed to catch up on her lazy sleep. Even if it was only forty or fifty minutes, she didn't want to let it go!
"Tibbers, wait till nine-fifty before asking people to get up like this. If you dare to make people late, you will be dead!!"
?乛?乛?
After threatening the little bear (pronounced gǒu) on the floor not far away, Annie immediately closed her eyes and prepared to take a short nap. After waking up, she could wash her face and go to the square to watch. Competition.
only……
What made her a little bit hopeful was that she didn't know if those guys in that square would have food included. Since it is a large-scale event in Ore Town, there must be delicious food for sale or free entertainment, right?
(…)
_(′?`‖∠)_
(Tibbers, who had obviously made great achievements but was being intimidated for no reason, had no choice but to turn around and lie down on the floor listlessly... If he had known that it would be like this, I'm afraid he wouldn't have warned the bad guy in his family just now. You know the bad little master who has a bear’s heart.)
?
The time soon arrived at 10:00 in the morning...
When the sun gradually rose in the sky and became more intense, a certain troubled little girl finally leisurely took her doggy Tibbs to Rose Square in Ore Town, and met on time. Other residents of Ore Town who had been waiting here entered the venue of the "Spring Horse Racing Meeting" that had just been decorated and officially opened to the public.
'Hi~! '
'Little Annie! Let me tell you an inside story: the horses from Madrigal Farm are also participating this time. In previous years, they have won every time they compete! However, in previous years, Mr. Mucci appeared in person, but this year they seem to have changed people, so if you want to place a bet, be careful! '
'But I forgot the number of the horse at their Pastoral Farm. You can go to the front desk later and ask. Anyway, I didn't buy it. '
Annie met the young lady Lin who was holding some unknown vouchers in her hand. Then the other party said hello to her and ran aside to her friends.
"Place a bet?"
(???.???)????
"But what's the use of winning?"
??(??￣?￣)????
The wealthy little Annie is not short of money now, because after asking Uncle Gotz to renovate her house, she still has a huge sum of more than one million G. Even if she keeps eating, drinking and having fun, the money in those accounts is probably enough for her. It took several years!
After all, there are only one hundred and twenty days in a year in this world of Ore Town. No matter what, she is unlikely to spend more than 10,000 G a day, so she is not in a hurry to place a bet on the horse race. The horse racers didn't really care, they just wanted to see if there was anything fun or delicious here.
"Hey~!"
"Little guy, if you buy from me, you will definitely win. Listen to me and you are right. My luck has always been very good!!"
Annie met Miss Kallen, who showed off a stack of bills to her and signaled Annie to buy according to the number she said.
"..."
(^～^;)ゞ
"Um...Sister Kallen, I just came here, and I want to go shopping and see..."
ヾ(⌒?⌒*)Goodbye~?
Annie was a little afraid of the enthusiastic Miss Kallen, so she hurried forward without waiting for the other party to come over and grab her and ask her to buy that random number.
"Annie~?!"
"Did you buy horse racing tickets? I just bought some! If you haven't bought them, go quickly, you won't be able to buy them when the horse racing starts!!"
At this time, the Annie in the distance said that she was very familiar with her. Miss Purbury, who she could often see fighting with Sister Lin in the hot spring with her bare buttocks, actually waved a stack of so-called horse racing scrolls to show off to her. .
"ah……"
!(;?o?)o
"Let me take a look first and buy later..."
(/^▽^)/
With that said, Annie ignored the other party and continued to wander forward.
but……
When she saw that many people had more or less horse racing coupons in their hands, she couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. Even though she had not planned to buy them at first, she gradually became eager to try them... But fortunately, she still had a lot of time, so she was not in a hurry. , you can still look at it.
'Hello! Dart, for the first game today, who do you think is better to buy? '
'Well……'
'That's what you said? ! '
'I don't know either. Originally I wanted to buy from Madrigal Farm because they raise the best horses! But you have also seen that Uncle Mucci is very old. He has not participated in the competition for several years. He suddenly participated this year, and he is not the driver. I always feel a little uneasy...'
'you mean? '
'Dick, I think we can be more conservative and buy horse racing tickets for two more players! '
'But that would cost a lot of money...'
'That's better than getting nothing! I didn’t win any of my purchases last year, so I’m going to win something no matter what I buy today! '
'Okay, I'll buy it from you! '
'Let's go! Let's go to the mayor to discuss which one to buy. '
'good! '
Not far away, Uncle Dart, the owner of the bar, was discussing something loudly with Uncle Dick, the owner of the vineyard, and it was obviously about horse racing. Therefore, Anne just listened and did not dare to disturb their concentration and intense conversation. The kind of horse racing ticket thing we were talking about.
"..."
(°ー°〃)
“So many people are talking about horse racing tickets, is it really that fun?”
(??ˇεˇ??)
Now, Annie became more and more shaken and prepared to go shopping. If she found that there was no good food, she would buy some horse racing tickets to try!
"Huh?"
|??ω?`)
"Harris, you're here too?"
☆?(o*?ω?)?
Anne met the police officer Harris who was passing by in uniform, hat and tie, and then waved to him generously and said hello.
"An, Annie, it's you..."
"that……"
"At today's horse racing meeting, you can take a look at the horses that everyone raises. I heard that Uncle Mucci also gave you a foal yesterday? Then you really need to take a good look at how other people's horses are raised. , I’m also looking forward to seeing you and your horse at the autumn horse racing meeting?”
"Ha ha……"
"You can take a look around first, and you can also buy some horse racing tickets. I have something else to do..."
After greeting the little guy with a dry smile, Officer Harris, who was afraid that the other person would say something shocking in such a crowded place, hurriedly laughed and hid aside.
"Ha~!"
"Annie, do you want to come over and watch the race with Mei? My horses are also participating in the race. If you buy the horse racing tickets for our Pastoral Farm, you will definitely win!"
'Hello! Little guy, don't leave yet. I still want to tell you some things about raising horses. Hey! ! '
In the distance, Mookie from the Pastoral Farm, the bad old man who sent a foal to Annie, and his granddaughter Mei kept waving to Annie.
"!!"
-=????=?????(?)?
However, Annie now didn't want to be like that poor Mei and had to be disciplined behind that bad old man's ass, so she hurriedly got into the crowd and ran away without waiting for the other party to say something...
'Jeff, the weather is really nice today, the sun is warm and there is wind! '
"yes……"
"But Sasha, I don't dare to ride a horse. I always think those guys who can ride a horse and participate in competitions are so awesome."
'Don't talk about that yet, Jeff, what number did you buy the horse racing ticket? '
'I bought Symphony No. 2 because it had the highest odds, a full twenty-eight times! '
'ah! I only bought marionette No. 1. Although its odds are very low, it is precisely because of its low odds that it proves that it is the strongest! '
'Low odds don't necessarily mean you'll win. Don't forget what happened last fall! '
'Too……'
'Hello! Mana, what about you? Which horse racing ticket number did you buy? '
"me?"
'I... I bought the most beautiful No. 4 mangrove, but I have always lost in horse racing in the past few years, and I have never won... It seems that horse racing cannot be based on appearance alone. I don't know now. What to look for before buying. '
'Ha ha! I can rest assured that! As long as I'm not the same as Mana, I still have a chance! '
'ah……'
"What are you talking about Jeff! Mana, don't pay attention to him. The Jockey Club is an important festival in our Ore Town. We should have fun during the festival. Winning or losing is not important. The important thing is to participate."
'Um! Sasha, you are right! '
'...'
Mana, the hostess of the vineyard in Ore Town, Jeff, the owner of the grocery store, and Sasha, the hostess of the grocery store, were also discussing the horse racing in the middle of the field and the horse racing tickets in their hands. This finally made Annie Couldn't help it anymore.
"Really!"
??(??￣?￣)????
"No! Everyone buys them, so why don't they buy horse racing tickets too!!"
?(⊙?⊙*)?
Seeing that the things those guys were discussing were all related to horse racing and horse racing tickets, and seeing that the time was about to start, Anne finally couldn't help it any longer, and took Tibbs, her henchman, directly to the mayor's office in the upper left corner of the square. He went to the official organization platform of the horse racing club where Thomas was working, intending to buy some horse racing tickets that had no idea what they were used for.
Anyway, let’s not care whether it’s useful or not. Since everyone else can buy it, why can’t Queen Anne buy it? !
"ha!"
"Annie, I thought you would sleep in at home and not come! The Jockey Club is about to officially start the race. Do you want to buy a lottery ticket? That is, the horse racing ticket. If you win, you will still have to wait until the race is over. You can come to my place to exchange goods!”
"However, in each round, each person is only allowed to buy a maximum of ninety-nine racing tickets of each type!"
Finally, five minutes before the game, Mayor Thomas saw the new member of their Ore Town. After seeing that the little guy who was not performing well finally appeared, he hurriedly explained to the other party enthusiastically.
"Of course I want to buy it!"
|???ω??)???
"But Grandpa Thomastown Elder, is there any difference between them?"
?(?ˉ??ˉ?)?
In fact, when she was shopping just now, she heard those guys discussing so enthusiastically that Annie was already feeling a little itchy! However, before buying, Annie always has to listen to some of the rules.
"Of course there is a difference!"
"For example, the No. 1 horse, Marionette, has the strongest overall strength. It is an excellent horse from Pastoral Ranch. It is the most popular and has the most people buying it, so the odds are only eight times!"
"As for the No. 2 horse, 'Symphony', it is a little worse. The test data is not outstanding, and it is not favored by others, so the odds are astonishingly high, a full twenty-eight times!"
"The remaining No. 3 'Achillius' and No. 4 'Mangrove' are nine times and 18 times respectively. Their data are relatively balanced, not too outstanding, and the numbers are not bad..."
"So Annie, have you decided which one to buy? But you'd better hurry up, you only have less than three minutes!"
It was getting late. Looking at his pocket watch, he saw that there were less than three minutes left. Mayor Thomas urged Anne anxiously.
"So that's what it is. It sounds very simple. But don't worry, Mr. Thomas Town Elder. I need to think about it first..."
?乛?乛?
The rules are very simple. Anne will understand it after listening to it once, but now she is thinking, how can she buy it without cheating to ensure her best interests?
(…)
(“▔?▔)
(I don’t know why, but Tibbers, who had been following his little master around, suddenly had a bad feeling.)
"They have decided to buy 99 tickets for all four types of horse racing!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
After just taking a look at the redemption list of the product and the prices of those horse racing tickets, Annie quickly came up with a purchase method that could maximize her profits in the first game.
"!!"
"Annie, it seems...can't be like this, right?"
Mayor Thomas was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that such a little guy would be so wealthy. He would buy four copies of ninety-nine tickets. You know, even Dart and his friends, who spent a lot of money every time, were just buying One or two kinds, and then 20 or 30 of each kind will be the best.
But now, this little guy is doing well. He says ninety-nine when he speaks, and he buys all kinds. It seems that he is sure to win no matter what?
"Why not! Is there such a rule?"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o~?
Annie directly threw the card used for accounting at her ranch on the counter, indicating that the other party could help her settle the bill. She had money anyway, so she was not in a hurry at all!
"ah!"
"That's not true, but you will suffer a lot if you do this, and it will take away the fun of the game..."
After hesitating and looking at the time, Mayor Thomas wanted to persuade the little guy in front of him not to do something like this that would ruin the fun of horse racing... Although Thomas also knew that there must not be many people in Ore Town. You can be rich enough to buy so much in one go like the other person, but it's not always good to save like this.
"No one cares!"
~(′?︵?`)~
"Anyway, I have to buy ninety-nine horse racing tickets for each one. That way, I can win every time and exchange for a lot of things!"
(?￣??￣??)??°
Horse racing is not important, winning or losing is not important, and the large amount of money spent is not important. The most important thing now is: Queen Anne wants to maximize the redemption of the prizes in the other party's list, so she has to No one can persuade you to buy it like this! !
"..."
"All right……"
There was no way, although he felt that it was not good, but seeing that time was already running out, Thomas, who had to give orders for the players to start racing later, had to take over the ranch's account card from Annie, and had to deal with it. This cunning little girl compromised and let the other party spend a lot of money to buy all the contestants to win.
(…)
ε=(′?｀●)))Alas
(Sure enough, Tibbs knew that it was perfectly normal for this kind of thing to happen to his bad little master. Anyway, he was somewhat used to it.)
"Don't look at me, the game is about to start!"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
Soon, under the stunned eyes of the residents of Ore Town, a certain arrogant little girl bought a lot of books from the counter of Mayor Thomas, a total of three hundred and ninety-six chapters. He held the horse racing ticket and walked to the guardrail of the horse racing, waiting to see which horse would win.
Of course, for Queen Anne, it doesn't matter which horse wins, because she will definitely win even if she doesn't cheat! Because, unlike the residents of Ore Town who were still having a heated discussion just now, she had already won at the starting line before the competition started.
