12. Went to Melbourne

Emperor Wu is a conspiracy theorist who believes that many matches in the world are artificially controlled to varying degrees, and that the lower the rank, the more likely it is to be controlled.

Australians love rugby, tennis and swimming, but the most enthusiastic is horse racing, and the first Tuesday in November is the Melbourne Cup Racing Festival, which is known as a national breath-taking event.

Back at home, Emperor Wu calmed down from his excitement and carefully analyzed the feasibility of betting on horses.

Horse racing is nothing more than a race of people on horses, and there are two reasons that determine the result, one is a person and the other is a horse. Emperor Wu can study horse racing through "Shennong Knowledge" to judge which horse has the strongest overall quality, but he can't 100% judge which group will win, because the state and strength of the riders are unpredictable.

The best rider may be in a bad mood because of a discordant nightlife with his wife the night before, and the worst rider will be in a bad mood because he has lost his soul in the company of a Melbourne girl.

Lying on the sofa and watching the promotional news of the Melbourne Cup, Emperor Wu thought about it, but he still couldn't pay attention.

The Melbourne Cup is a major competition in Australia all over the world, the quality of the riders should be about the same, the main determining factor will be on the horses, after thinking about it for a whole night, he decided to gamble and go to Melbourne with less than 50,000 Australian dollars!

On race day, there are about ten horse races at the same venue, each half an hour apart, and the Melbourne Cup is one of them. Emperor Wu planned to take 100 Australian dollars to test the water in the first few games, and the good effect was to spend a lot of money in the Melbourne Cup, and if the 100 Australian dollars were lost, he should go to Melbourne for a vacation.

XN and Melbourne are separated by nearly a thousand kilometers, and Emperor Wu will definitely not drive Old Horton to Melbourne, first, it takes ten hours to travel, and secondly, he has no driver's license at all.

The government has advocated a high-speed rail link between XN, Canberra and Melbourne, but years have passed since it was still rhetoric.

A billionaire named Elon Musk plans to push a new type of super train in Australia, the name of the train is very long and difficult to remember, it is estimated that it will only take 55 minutes to get from XN to Melbourne, and the speed will reach 1220 kilometers per hour near the speed of sound.

At present, the best way to travel is by plane, and in just an hour and a half, Jetstar Airways only needs a 100 yuan Australian bill.

In the afternoon, Emperor Wu went to Edmund first, fostered Schrödinger there, and asked Edmund to recuperate and condition Lao Xue by the way.

At six o'clock in the evening, Emperor Wu, who was carrying nearly 50,000 Australian dollars, stood alone at the Melbourne airport.

Melbourne has a deep cultural heritage, with a variety of Victorian architecture, it looks down on XN for being uneducated, and XN thinks that Melbourne is too earthy and unfashionable, and the competition between these two cities is comparable to the capital of China and Shanghai.

Melbourne has entered the festive atmosphere in advance, and the Melbourne Cup horse racing is actually packaged as a festival called "Melbourne Carnival", which is said to be the easiest time for the whole of Australia, and many poor people who are frustrated will come to try their luck.

I found a hotel near the racecourse to stay, and the surrounding businesses were quite conscientious, and the prices did not rise wildly because of this festival, perhaps the Australian government has set very strict regulations in this regard.

The next day, Emperor Wu tried his best to get close to the horses in the race, but there was no progress at all. The horse farm is very strictly guarded, and there is no way to get close to them without documents.

The road was not successful, and Emperor Wu had to take the small road. The trail does not mean breaking the law, you can be flexible.

For example, buy the guards and let yourself go?

No, the guards in red uniforms, bearskin hats, and bayonets were from the British Royal Guard, and they were so proud and happy that they couldn't let a strange man in for a few hundred or thousands of dollars.

Got in over the wall, pretended to be crazy and stupid after being caught, and said that he was mentally ill?

Let's talk about the wall first, the horses are enclosed in the Victorian stable, the wall is so high that even the Hulk has to shake his head and sigh, and the other point is that the domestic one is not feasible here.

Forced break-in?

Needless to say, he was shot into a sieve by the royal guards with a shotgun, and then had the honor of being on the script of Queen Elizabeth's speech.

Standing outside the racecourse, Emperor Wu was bored drinking Coke, and he couldn't think of a way to break his head, and it seemed that he could only wait until the race to see the race.

The "Spirit of Shennong" fed back the basic information of the horse to Emperor Wu's consciousness, just like a math problem gives you all the solution information, and the final solution steps need to be done by yourself.

Although Emperor Wu would have the most detailed horse racing information in the world, it was not easy to analyze which horse was fast in a short period of time.

At this time, a Bentley drove over slowly, this kind of car Emperor Wu has never dared to look from afar, and the people sitting in it are either rich or expensive.

The guards did not check the documents but directly saluted and let them go, which further verified Emperor Wu's thoughts.

Before Bentley drove into the gate, the window in the back row was lowered, and a beautiful woman in a lace white veil poked her head out to look at her.

Emperor Wu speculated that the lady should have been dressed in a Victorian-style court tunic dress, which is more common at the Horse Racing Festival, where the horses are dressed in traditional racing clothes or formal suits, and the ladies wear a variety of flamboyant hats, making the festive atmosphere extra intense, as if returning to 19th-century England.

After that, a few more luxury cars drove in, and they were supposed to be the owners or partners of the horses, looking after their treasures before the race, and the Mega Millions was just a pleasure for them.

Every November, people from different walks of life flock to Melbourne City with different ideas, some seek high prizes, some need exciting competitions, some aim to hunt for beauty, and Emperor Wu came here to take the money from the pockets of gamblers.

But the reality is that Emperor Wu is standing outside the gate of the racecourse, and he can't get close to the horse race at all, which is embarrassing.

After a simple dinner in the evening, he planned to go to the bar for recreation, so he kept walking along the perimeter of Flemington Racecourse, and when he was tired of going to a bar, he went in to drink a bottle of Budweiser cold beer, stimulated his brain, and saw if the old man Shennong could help with ideas.

Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia, the capital of Victoria known as the "Garden State", and has been the capital for 25 years, but unfortunately it was successfully usurped by Canberra, a rising star.

Emperor Wu wandered the streets with his hands in his pockets, admiring the Melbourne-style Australian beautiful girls. The city's tram is very developed, Wu Di went up to try it, but after getting off the train, he got lost, walked into a small alley, there is a bar called "ROCK" to make his eyes shine, here is surprisingly quiet, more like a café, through the floor-to-ceiling windows can see that there are not many people inside.

It is the tone that Emperor Wu likes, and after entering, he found that the decoration inside is relatively simple, and he doesn't have to think about it, with a strong Victorian style. The most conspicuous thing is the whole wall of beer bottles behind the bar, and the sharp-eyed Emperor Wu saw the domestic green beer.

The bartender is a lively and cheerful miniskirt MM, and seeing that Wu Di is an Asian face, he introduced this small bar.

She said that the bars here are divided into nightclub and bar, nightclub is more of a place to have fun at night, while bar is more like a place for you and friends to drink and chat, and release the stress of life.

Similar to the difference between a Qing bar and a rock 'n' roll bar, this one is naturally a bar.

The atmosphere of Melbourne Cup racing has spread over the bars in this alleyway, with big TVs scrolling through footage of previous years' races.

After asking for a bottle of Budweiser, Emperor Wu planned to kill it at the bar and talk about life with the hot bartender MM.

Sitting on the high chair and turning around for half a circle, Emperor Wu found a lonely figure at the small round table by the window.

It was the back of a perfect woman, although it was the back, but Emperor Wu could imagine her ungodly appearance. Smiling at the hot MM, Emperor Wu left the bar and walked straight to the small round table.

The whole bar was deserted, less than ten people, all going about their business or staring at their glasses, and no one cared who you were sitting with in the dim light.

He walked across from the woman and lifted up a wonderful face, and Emperor Wu was about to sit down when he was suddenly stunned.
