Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 579 - 566: Taming the Horse as a Duo

After coming up with this idea, Mr. Tang was becoming more and more delighted whenever he looked at Han Qiwu. He took out his purple clay teapot to personally brew some aged Dianhong tea. After savoring the third infusion, he casually remarked, "When do you plan to get married?"

Han Qiwu, who was peacefully sipping his tea, was startled and immediately choked on the tea in his mouth, coughing frantically while grabbing tissues to wipe up.

Mrs. Tang, who overheard Mr. Tang's words from the room, glared at him in rebuke and walked over to pat Han Qiwu's back, comforting him, "Don't get too worked up. Getting married is something everyone has to go through. In a couple of days, we'll meet up with your parents, sit down, and discuss everything properly."

Tang Qingying: "???"

How did this suddenly turn into marriage talk?

It's not that she didn't want to get married, it's just that she hadn't imagined things developing like this.

Wasn't the plan just to bring him home for lunch?

The lunch hasn't even started yet, and she's already been arranged for marriage?

After regaining his composure, Han Qiwu exchanged a glance with Tang Qingying and leaned over to whisper, "Uncle and Auntie are already on my side. You better surrender quickly."

"Hmph, dream on!" Tang Qingying lightly punched Han Qiwu and got up, pulling her mother along to the kitchen to busy themselves.

Of course, it was Mrs. Tang doing the work, while Qingying watched.

If she joined in, there wouldn't be any food left in the house.

Once everything was ready, the four of them sat at the table, chatting and eating together. Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang didn't make things difficult for Han Qiwu. Their criteria for a son-in-law were always straightforward: as long as he was good to their daughter and reliable.

Han Qiwu not only satisfied these two conditions, but was also extremely handsome.

Test passed.

After eating their fill, Tang Qingying waved goodbye to her parents, got in the car, and drove Han Qiwu home.

There was so much waiting for them to take care of.

Watching the car depart, Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang exchanged a look and broke into happy smiles.

"Qingying will definitely get married by October 1st, and during the holiday, we can finally go out and have some fun!" Mrs. Tang said, excitedly.

Mr. Tang mysteriously waved his hand, "Why wait until October 1st? There's a five-day holiday for May Day this year. If we push a little harder, we could finish it by May Day! Then, we can go on an international trip!"

Mrs. Tang quickly gave him a thumbs-up and turned around, running back into the house enthusiastically to plan their travel itinerary.

The "Forget-the-Child Couple."

On the way home, Han Qiwu couldn't help but ask, "Leaving so soon? Won't you stay and spend more time with Uncle and Auntie?"

"Please, they're dying to enjoy their two-person world. Let's head back to Mist Forest. When I was a kid, I always wanted to play in a big, gloomy forest like that!" Tang Qingying said excitedly.

Han Qiwu chuckled, "No problem. We can make a stop at Horse Taming Canyon nearby and find you a horse to ride while we're at it."

"Yes, yes! I want one that's even more beautiful than an Akhal-Teke! Those shiny horses' coats always leave oil on your hands if you touch them too much. It's awful," Tang Qingying said with a pout.

Han Qiwu smirked—such a good horse, yet she's still picking fault. Let's see what kind of horse she can find.

Women—they're never satisfied.

Once they arrived home, Han Qiwu grabbed his axe and supplies, mounted his horse, and took Tang Qingying to Mist Forest.

When they arrived, the two decided to have some fun at the nearby Horse Taming Canyon first. As soon as they entered, Han Qiwu was thrilled to discover a button on a nearby statue to upgrade the stable.

It was a pretty good deal too—100 wood, 100 stone, and 5,000 gold to expand the stable to accommodate two horses.

Since he had enough money on hand, Han Qiwu clicked the button without hesitation.

As they stepped into Horse Taming Canyon, a system notification popped up in front of Han Qiwu:

[Entry fee of 5000 gold deducted].

Surprisingly, it was a combo ticket? Only one fee for both of them?

Somewhat pleasantly surprised, Han Qiwu turned to Tang Qingying and said, "Let me show you how this game works first." With that, he walked in solo, mounted a Mongolian horse, and got ready to start the game.

"Is it single-player only?" Tang Qingying tentatively took a couple of steps inside. The moment she did, a flash of light appeared, and she found herself mounted on a Mongolian horse as well.

Han Qiwu: "?? So it's actually a multiplayer game?"

"Let's see who can run farther!" Tang Qingying grinned smugly, taking advantage of the slow-moving horse herd around her to practice a few horse-swapping maneuvers.

"Alright, let's do this." Han Qiwu seized the chance to hone his skills.

50 meters, 100 meters, 300 meters, 500 meters, 1,000 meters.

With their dramatically enhanced physical capabilities, the two reacted quickly, soon surpassing the 1,000-meter mark.

"Once you pass the 1,000-meter mark, glowing horses might start appearing. Riding one for a certain amount of time will tame it successfully. But be careful—if things get dicey, just bail. We've got plenty of money to try again, so don't risk getting hurt," Han Qiwu advised while scanning the area.

"Don't worry about me!" Tang Qingying shouted back, her voice echoing through the canyon. She was already riding a Quarter Horse that had entered a berserk mode—it wasn't just fast, but when faced with Mongolian horses, it started leaping over them on its own, making the ride incredibly thrilling.

A few seconds later, a glowing Quarter Horse and a glowing Mongolian horse appeared side by side.

"One each, let's try them out!" yelled Han Qiwu. He seized the opportunity to leap onto the Mongolian horse.

[Current mounted horse: Mongolian Horse]

[Game speed: 7 m/s]

[Moods: Jumping like crazy]

Its speed was half that of an Akhal-Teke, but the riding experience was much better.

If he could tame this horse for Mr. Tang, it would be perfect.

Just as Han Qiwu mounted the horse, he turned and found Tang Qingying successfully seated on the glowing Quarter Horse as well. He quickly called out, "What's the speed of your glowing Quarter Horse?"

"25 m/s! It's so fast!" Tang Qingying's voice was getting dragged into a warbling pitch by the wind, which sounded strangely amusing.

"Go for it!" Han Qiwu nodded, gripping the reins tightly and trying to steady himself.

After riding for a few dozen seconds, Han Qiwu suddenly felt the Mongolian horse beneath him grow even more agitated, leaping wildly.

However, the leaps were somehow too extreme.

He felt like he might take off.

What kind of horse jumps seven or eight meters high?

A jumping horse?

As it jumped, Han Qiwu clung tightly to the horse's neck, terrified he'd fall off.

After about seven or eight seconds, the Mongolian horse suddenly leaped sideways, tossing Han Qiwu onto another horse nearby. The Mongolian horse snorted disdainfully and galloped away.

"Didn't expect to wipe out here," Han Qiwu muttered as he steadied himself on a regular Mongolian horse. He turned to see how Mr. Tang was doing.

Wait.

Wasn't Tang Qingying riding a glowing Quarter Horse just now?

When did it turn into a rainbow-colored one?

So flashy?

The horse Tang Qingying was now riding had a long, flowing mane, with its coat transitioning from its stomach to tail in a stunning rainbow gradient. Its tail swished dramatically as it ran, making it incredibly eye-catching.

"Woohoo!"
