Kotobuki Toru, fearing that Hitoko Amber might blow on someone while breathing on her, quickly reassured her, "Actually, the security here isn't as bad as you think. The people here aren't so poor that they would dare to attack a horse girl, and we don't look like we're rich."
Fei Tu Hu Po tilted her head and thought for a moment: "But aren't you a rich person?"
"But I don't flaunt my wealth." Kotobuki Toru smiled nonchalantly. "I'm usually very low-key. After starting university, I became self-reliant. For example, just look at how I usually eat at roadside stalls with you guys. Aren't we happy?"
"You're really open-minded about it..." Hito Amber muttered to the two of them, "I thought that after you and I were completely honest with each other, you would go back to living the life of a young master... driving a luxury sports car, wearing expensive clothes, and taking baths in Kobe mineral water or something?"
"I don't have any extravagant habits. The life I live now is just like my usual life. Even if I had money, I would just upgrade the lamb skewers I usually eat to Boer goat skewers and the wine I drink to a better quality."
Fei Tu Hu Po breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was worried that I would be in trouble if I couldn't keep up with you. Although I don't know what Boer goat is, I know how to eat lamb skewers..."
Fei Tu Hu Po wiped her mouth again: "So when are you going to treat me to Boer goat meat?"
Qin Chuitou reached into his pocket and pulled out only a few US dollars in denominations of tens of dollars: "Besides, I don't have any money on me right now."
"And where's your money?"
"It's frozen. My family said I can only unlock the rest of the content if I bring a girlfriend home."
Fei Tu Hu Po covered her face: "Uh, it's like something your old man would do... so nothing has changed at all."
"There are still some. At least I can use my face to make a name for myself in the Kotobuki Group's businesses..."
What kind of results can be obtained?
"Can you include meals and accommodation?"
"Wow... this is the superpower I've always dreamed of!"
The two walked and talked. Fei Tu Hu Po tried to understand the lives of the wealthy, but in the end, she found that... apart from being a bit extravagant and having more upscale food, clothing, and daily necessities, they weren't that different from ordinary people. It didn't seem as abstract and difficult to understand as she had thought...
"I don't understand! Are all you conglomerates this abstract?"
But when Hitotsu Amber arrived at the Venus Building in the United States, she was still shocked: "What do you mean... to better help the models take photos... so you built an artificial beach on the roof?"
At this moment, Hitotsu Amber was standing on the rooftop, her face full of disbelief. The sun in the sky seemed closer, and the sunlight, seawater, and sand were right in front of her. At the end of that "sea," Hitotsu Amber could faintly hear the horns and police sirens that were ubiquitous in America.
Having lived for so many years, Scarlet Amber has never seen such a scene... such a sight.
Kotobuki Toru, on the other hand, seemed to take it for granted, as if this wasn't his first time here: "Some big companies like to build special structures on their rooftops, like building a 'ship' or a golf course... But here at Venus in the US, considering practicality, they built an artificial beach on the rooftop, which is much cheaper than a ship or a golf course."
Fei Tu Hu Po's slightly open mouth remained open: "Practicality... You've all started building beaches in the sky, and you actually have any talk of practicality?"
“Of course there are.” Kotobuki Toru nodded seriously. As a pragmatist, this was Kotobuki Toru’s explanation for such a luxury. “You should know about Amber, right? There’s a brand called Venus’s Secret under Venus.
"Hmm? The secret of Venus?"
Upon hearing Kotobuki Toru's question, Hitobuki Amber trembled and instinctively shook her head, "No, I don't know..."
But immediately, Fei Tu Hu Po raised her small face slightly and looked up at Qin Chui Tou, "Um, I think I know a little bit, it seems to be about selling underwear or something."
More accurately, it sells lingerie suitable for young, beautiful girls.
In terms of comfort alone, Venus's Secret clothing is nowhere near as good as its own brand, Venus's Secret, with its various comfortable and soft lingerie...
However, according to online statistics, Venus Secret's lingerie is the dominant force in the young women's market, and even most men who want to buy women's lingerie buy it from there.
The reason is simple: the secret of Venus lies in the fact that the lingerie she sells is allure and maximizing the beauty of the wearer.
A bodysuit made of sheer silk gauze and embroidered lace nylon fabric, which can wrap the body tightly and perfectly show off a girl's curves... Comfort may not be the best, but the visual effect is definitely amazing!
The effect was so good that Venus Secret's annual new product launch, which was originally just a showcase for the company's new products, attracted the attention of women and a considerable number of men worldwide because the clothes were so effective...
Similar to the Guinness World Records, the popularity of Venus's Secret has become so great that it no longer belongs solely to Venus. Even competing lingerie companies have to spend money and effort to get their products and services to attend Venus's Secret's launch events...
Even if you're begging on your knees, you still have to be mindful of Qin Chui's attitude!
Kotobuki Toru was somewhat surprised: "Eh, you actually knew that?"
Fei Tu Hu Po clutched her phone, stammering, "Um, I... I know a little."
Of course, that's absolutely false. Fei Tu Hu Po not only knows a little about it, but she knows a lot about it!
Because Fei Tu Hu Po had also secretly ordered related clothing.
It happened last night.

The first update is here!
Please please please please
Chapter 359 To become stronger, you must eat the forbidden fruit.
"Now that you know the secret of Venus, the rest is easy to explain."
Kotobuki Toru casually found a beach chair and sat down, then pointed to a lush coconut tree not far away and said, "You should also know that Venus Secret's designs are quite private, usually worn by couples in private. But when shooting photoshoots or music videos, you need a background and environment to complement them. If you wear those in public..."
Hitoko Amber picked up the second half of Kotobuki Toru's words: "Is it easy for new products to be leaked? Or for strange people to take ugly and strange photos from strange angles, ultimately causing the product's reputation to plummet?"
In the idol training class, Hito Kohaku also learned about related knowledge. As a public figure, Uma Musume must pay attention to her image in public. She must not do anything inhuman or that would damage her image. If unscrupulous media records it and then takes it out of context and publishes it, it will be very troublesome.
Kotobuki Toru nodded: "Yeah, that's right... For the sake of the photo shoot effect and the privacy of the models, the 'outdoor scenes' of Venus's Secret are not actually in public places. It's that coconut tree over there. I think it was used to shoot a set of lingerie just last month."
"I was wondering why it looked so familiar... turns out it's the same style."
Kotobuki Toru didn't hear Hishiu Kohaku's soft muttering, "What did you say again?"
Fei Tu Hu Po quickly waved her hand: "It's okay! What I mean is I understand! This is a super-sized photo studio, right?"
"This place is sometimes also a summer retreat and vacation spot for the Kotobuki Toru Foundation and the Venus Group..."
"As expected, this is the world of the super-rich, isn't it? It really exceeds my imagination. I thought rich people would build some kind of private beach, but I didn't expect you guys to actually build a private beach... I'm envious, jealous, and hateful."
Kotobuki spread his hands: "So this is why I invited you here? To let you practice on this soft sand."
Hitoko Amber crouched down and scooped up a handful of platinum-gold sand. The quality of this sand was much better than that of the sand on the racetrack of Mama Girl. However, because there was no soil underneath, this sandy beach was many times softer than the sand track.
"This beach is so big...I'm using it all?"
Kotobuki nodded: "Yeah, Narcissus agreed, but the way you look so timid right now is like a cat seeing the beach for the first time, digging in the sand and marveling at how big the litter box is..."
"Hey! Don't look down on me, I'm just testing the running environment right now!"
The Hibiscus Amber breathed on the zither, its tail taut, making it look even more like a kitten.
But then Amber realized that her reaction was indeed a bit petty, so she flung the sand away and took out the high heels that Narcissus had given her.
Do I need to take off my socks?
"I think it's necessary; the sand will wear out my socks."
Fei Tu Hu Po hesitated for a moment as she took off her socks: "The socks will wear out, but can my feet be okay?"
Hitotsu Amber's subtext is: I really value my feet!
For daily face washing, the Fei Tu Amber product takes about five minutes, but for foot care, even fifty minutes isn't enough.
Soaking your feet in water helps moisturize and softens the calluses on your soles. Then, use a scraper and scrub to remove the excess calluses. After removing them, wash your feet again to complete the cleaning process.
After cleaning, it's not over yet! You also need to apply a moisturizing skin cream to your feet, an antibacterial lotion to clean and keep them clean, and finally wrap them in plastic wrap to increase skin absorption and hydration... Only then is your daily skincare routine complete.
That's how it achieves its smooth, glossy texture, like the feel of cheese!
Although she hadn't experienced it herself, Hito Amber felt that... her feet were cleaner than most food in restaurants!
Kotobuki Toru, as a stylist, has some knowledge of the process of maintaining the legs of racehorse girls, so he can understand Hitokohaku's concerns.
In addition, Kotobuki Toru, as a trainer, has an occupational hazard of foot fetishism, and he is also Hitsukohaku's closest person, so he is quite concerned about Hitsukohaku's feet.
"It's okay. I had considered these things before I came. But according to my sister and Narcissus's statistics, the sand is fine enough to act as a scrub. With exercise, it can effectively remove dead skin from the feet."
"Oh?" Scarlet Amber raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll have to give it a try!"
After saying that, Fei Tu Hu Po stepped into the artificial beach in her high heels.
With a "whoosh," his heels dug into the sand, and then his body fell backward uncontrollably.
Kotobuki Toru quickly got up to help Hitoko, but before he could make a move, Hitoko had already performed a stunning backbend, with her hands behind her head, supporting herself on the sand.
"How does it feel?"
"It's even harder to maintain your balance than walking on flat ground!"
"But from another perspective, if you can develop your balance on pure sand, it means you'll be a little more comfortable handling sand tracks, right?"
“That makes sense! I’m going to start now!” With that, Fei Tu Hu Po used her powerful core strength to stand up on the sand again, and then began to take steps in the sand, one foot deep and one foot shallow, looking like a baby learning to walk.
However, Hitotsu Kohaku wasn't walking very fast, and she even had the energy to talk to Kotobuki Toru: "By the way, Toru, I read the book before, and it said that... the track adaptability can reach the highest level of S, but it is very difficult to improve track adaptability. In addition to adapting through various methods, there is also something about factor inheritance. The Uma Musume textbook did not talk about factor inheritance... did you know that?"
"Uh." Qin Chuitou's Adam's apple bobbed, and after thinking for a while, he finally gave Fei Tu Hu Po an answer: "Actually, it's the kind of thing you tried to force me to do before..."
Amber's surprised voice instantly drowned out the sound of simulated ocean waves: "Huh? This is possible? Doing that can make you stronger? Then I have an even better reason to do this with you?"
The idea that you have to eat forbidden fruit to become stronger, and that eating forbidden fruit will make you stronger, seemed familiar to Hito Amber, as if she had seen it in some comics before…
"But what's the principle behind it?"
----------
The second update is here!
Please please please please
There should be a third update.
Chapter 360 Factor Exchange? Stealing Forbidden Fruit? (Bounty 26)
If it weren't for Kotobuki Toru's hint, Hitoko would never have expected that the legendary factor that could improve the adaptability of racehorse girls would be inherited, and that the factor exchange would result in such a factor being inherited.
She unconsciously twirled the ends of her hair with her fingertips, and her earlobes flushed slightly—the idea that "eating forbidden fruit can make you stronger," though absurd like a fairy tale, made her heart race.
Fei Tu Hu Po was willing to believe such a thing from the bottom of her heart.
After all, it's a good thing that benefits me in every way. Not only is it free, but believing it will also make me feel more justified in doing pleasurable things... So, Fei Tu Hu Po must have agreed first and then questioned it!
"Well, there aren't actually that many papers on this topic."
Kotobuki stammered for a moment, her face slightly flushed, "The data we can collect is too limited. After all, the racehorse girls are quite shy and are public figures, so it's not convenient to reveal a lot of sensitive information."
Statistical analysis in academic papers requires more than simply asking, "Have you done it?" The statistical data becomes extremely complex if you want to use it in a paper.
For example, when did you and your partner finally overcome the final obstacle? How many times did you come that day? What time do you usually go? What are your preferred times to go? What are your clothing choices? What are your preferred ways to interact with your partner?
Only when all kinds of data are listed out and all kinds of variables are understood can the data be considered usable... But such detailed data is not something that everyone is willing to provide.
Kotobuki Toru then said with a wry smile, "So, this can only be a deduction at the moment, and it can't be taken at face value. You can't drag me into experiments, can you... Got it?"
"I just want to understand the principles and stuff first~"
"You promise not to get a headache first."
Fei Tu's amber-gold eyes gleamed with cunning. "Alright... I promise Jesus!"
"What's the use of making promises to God? You're the one who tells the most jokes about Jesus' hell..."
Besides, even if Hitotsu Amber really wanted to believe in Jesus, the three goddesses probably wouldn't agree.
But in the end, Kotobuki Toru still chose to believe in Hitokohaku, believing that she was not so repressed as to want to put the theory of factor exchange into practice immediately after hearing it.
Kotobuki Toru gazed at the surging artificial waves in the distance and said, "Although Uma Musume has strong physical performance, humans are actually the most adaptable animals in the world... They are all-rounders, capable of doing anything and going anywhere. In comparison, Uma Musume also has flaws, such as poor adaptability, picky eating, being pampered, and having a small population."
Hitoko Amber nodded slightly: "I think TouTou makes a good point on that... I've always wondered why Uma Musume can't rule the world, and it turns out it's because there aren't enough people, huh?"
"Yeah, there are few of them, and they're all simple-minded... Although they're strong, they basically can only follow humans around."
"So it's not without reason that racehorse girls are so beautiful... just like those delicious fruits, like watermelons and apples, which are deliberately grown for animals to eat in order to reproduce."
Kotobuki Toru analyzed rationally: "And when it comes to horse girls, it's about using their figure and looks—the two characteristics that most stimulate human senses—to attract humans and then achieve the goal of continuing their lineage."
Biology and nature are actually quite simple: survival of the fittest and the continuation of offspring. The fittest survive and the unfit are eliminated. And now, all the characteristics of organisms have evolved through natural selection...
At this moment, Hibiki Amber also strolled leisurely along the beach for about a hundred meters before turning back, complaining as she went:
"Wow, TouTou, don't describe Ma Niang so badly... It makes me feel like I can't live without humans, and I have to sell my beauty to make a living..."
"Thousands of years ago, when everyone was starving, people might have actually had to sell their bodies to make a living."
Kotobuki smiled and reassured Hitoko Amber: "But that's not the case now. Horse girls are already highly sought after. Everyone wants to raise one, so from a historical perspective, if racehorse girls and humans were to combine, it might actually achieve a physical breakthrough and unlock a genetic lock or something."
Upon hearing this, Fei Tu Hu Po's golden eyes began to dart around again. "That sounds amazing. Does it really work? Getting stuffed into a puff pastry and then becoming stronger? My biology knowledge tells me that it shouldn't be like that."
From a biological perspective, the only thing that can happen when someone is given a bellyful of factors is that their factors combine to produce the next generation.
