In Huayu, the career reward is spy

Chapter 233 Master Ji, when will you become number one in Asia!

On the set of Initial D in Japan.

[Ding~~ Mission alert~]

【任务奖励：专属领域碎片*20、策略分析碎片*20、黑暗驾驶碎片*20、驾驶技能碎片*50、曝光值*200。】

Ji Yu stroked the steering wheel of the AE86, feeling the charm of Takumi Fujiwara.

This guy is amazing, he even has his own exclusive domain, the legendary state of man and machine becoming one.

Strategic analysis and dark driving are also quite impressive.

One is a route that can calculate the optimal solution, and the other is an extraordinary memory that can completely remember the road conditions after driving it only once.

Ji Yu could also remember, but it was different from his dark driving. His dark driving was like an instinct, so clear that he could understand all the conditions on the road.

Takumi Fujiwara is not only a skilled driver, but also possesses other impressive abilities.

Anime characters are definitely different.

Ji Yu was quite satisfied with the reward, as it would greatly improve his driving skills.

He might be better than many F1 drivers now.

Ji Yu really wanted to exchange his D1 super license for a real super license.

However, F1 is too time-consuming, and he doesn't have time to play it. He'll think about it another time when he has the chance.

Ji Yu started the car, and the whole car immediately came to life!

When he first arrived, he noticed that the car hadn't been modified. Since he hadn't been filming for the past few days, he asked a Nissan engineer to help him modify it.

The car is in really good condition now, definitely no worse than the AE86 in the comics!
If you were to actually drive a stock car on a mountain road, it would be impossible to perform high-difficulty drifting corners, let alone a series of hairpin bends.

Since we've made those bold statements about our genuine passion, we naturally have to strive to recreate them during filming.

dong dong dong.

Liu Weiqiang knocked on the car window, "Want to warm up first?"

Ji Yu rolled down the car window and laughed, "Aren't you afraid someone will compete with me again?"

Liu Weiqiang immediately snorted and said, "The road down the mountain is blocked, and all the drivers and car keys from the film crew have been handed over! Let's see who else wants to race you!"

Ji Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, then I'll go run a lap and give it a try."

"Be careful!"

"OK!"

As Ji Yu spoke, he rolled up the car window and disappeared in a flash.

Liu Weiqiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; finally, he could film properly!

He had just turned around when Producer Xu ran over.

"Director, something's happened."

Liu Weiqiang's heart skipped a beat. What the hell had happened this time?!
Sister Xu quickly said, "It's not about the film crew, it's about Ji Yu!"

"What happened to Ji Yu?" Liu Weiqiang was extremely nervous. Could Ji Yu have broken the law and been arrested?

Producer Xu said, "There's a famous American race car driver who publicly mocked Ji Yu, saying he's just an actor who can't drive at all, and even said he'd come to Japan to challenge Ji Yu to a race to expose his true colors!"

Liu Weiqiang was scared half to death, thinking it was something serious!

He didn't speak, but made a gesture to let Producer Xu hear.

Producer Xu laughed as he listened to the roaring engines and screech of brakes on the mountain road.

“I’m worried that the media will follow suit and damage Ji Yu’s reputation, and all the previous publicity will be for nothing.”

"Then let's have a competition, what's the big deal?"

Liu Weiqiang spoke casually, not thinking that American drivers were anything special.

Producer Xu thought about it and agreed; at worst, they could just have a competition.

If you're afraid of losing, you can postpone it until after the movie is released.

The fact that someone is provoking him can actually boost Ji Yu's and Initial D's fame to a whole new level.

perfect!

"I heard that the best driver in Asia is an actor named Ji Yu. That's really ridiculous. Have Asian drivers degenerated to this extent?"

"Yes, I was fired, but that doesn't mean I'm incompetent."

"I'm going to Japan to race that guy named Ji Yu, and I'll expose his true colors! The best driver in Asia can't beat me, the guy who got kicked out of the team!"

In Hong Kong, Jiang Zhiqiang smiled slightly as he watched the news on television.

This Maxim is quite difficult to deal with; he's a washed-up guy who was fired without a license, and it took several days of negotiation to reach an agreement.

However, judging from the information, he is indeed very impressive. He has participated in the World Touring Car Championship and the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix, and has achieved very good results in both.

Only someone like that can attract everyone's attention and get them to agree to this kind of hyped competition.

In Maxim's mind, this kind of thing is just giving away money for nothing.

He felt that Ji Yu definitely wouldn't compete with him; it was just a publicity stunt for the movie's marketing.

However, he is also confident that he will win even if he actually goes to the competition!
He's just an actor; he might have good drifting skills, but racing is much more than just drifting!

Perhaps I can gain some fame through this incident and participate in more competitions.

Maxim heard in the United States that there were plans to establish a drifting championship.

I can't participate in high-level competitions, but I can always participate in this kind of competition.

It would be even better if a racing team took a liking to me!
Maxim's remarks were like a spark, instantly igniting the passion of many car enthusiasts.

Although Maksim isn't doing so well now, he used to have a lot of fans.

Moreover, his remarks were so arrogant that they completely satisfied the arrogance of white people.

Many people who don't usually follow him couldn't help but join the discussion after hearing his remarks.

There's only one topic we're discussing: Asian motorsports culture is truly rubbish!

Japan is the only one that's not bad, having produced quite a few F1 drivers over the years, but most of them haven't had any outstanding performances.

As for the Honda team's performance in F1, it wasn't very good either; it was just so-so.

Asia doesn't have many outstanding car manufacturers; only Japan has a few that are decent.

But Japan is too small, and the rest of Asia is too poor!

Asia is too underdeveloped; how many people can afford a car? How can there be any racing culture, and how many skilled racers can there be?

Stereotypes, media vilification, and arrogance all contribute to this.

Almost all car enthusiasts in Europe and America think that Maxim is absolutely right!

Asian drivers are just not good enough!

Some even think that Maxim was desperate and chose to find an Asian driver to create hype and stir up trouble.

"Oh my god, he's really fallen on hard times! He's reduced to racing against an Asian driver! I heard that guy is an actor and Chinese. My God, isn't China a slave society?"

"I really, really love Subaru and Mazda, but I have to admit that Asia has never produced any outstanding racing drivers." "I heard that Ji Yu is an Asian superstar, but I've never heard of him before."

"I've held concerts in the US, but only Chinese people went to see them."

"I have a question in my mind: Isn't Japan part of China? Why would anyone say that Japanese drivers are inferior to Chinese drivers?"

"Perhaps it's like the relationship between Texas and California, always so complicated and full of contradictions."

"You really don't know that Japan is an independent country? That's unbelievable!"

"Then why would Japan have a mold breeding ground? That's really strange."

"Hmph! We were merely defeated! You people are far too arrogant and rude!"

"I never expected to run into a Japanese person here! This is a racing forum, the family car forum is next door, sir."

"Japanese racing is superb! You bunch of stupid white pigs, you don't understand at all!"

"Ugh! He's angry! I'm terrified he'll jump up and hit my knee!"

The arrogance of European and American drivers and the discrimination of European and American fans have made this issue even more controversial.

The news quickly spread throughout Asia, and racing forums in East and Southeast Asia were filled with discussions about the arrogance of Europeans and Americans.

Many Japanese television stations also followed up with reports.

This completely unsettled Japanese car enthusiasts!
That damn white pig looks down on Asian drivers!
Furthermore, Ji Yu cannot represent Asian drivers, let alone defeat all the drivers in Japan!

Japanese car enthusiasts are furious, as are car enthusiasts in other parts of Asia. It's not just car enthusiasts who are angry; many people are very upset.

They despise not just one person or one country, but the whole of Asia.

Although their economy is a bit backward, those Europeans and Americans are too arrogant!

This discrimination and arrogance aroused dissatisfaction among many people, and in a very short time, Ji Yu once again became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Ji Yu also found out about this by now, and he was speechless.

It feels surreal, like someone delivered themselves to him so he could show off and get slapped in the face.

In the hotel where the film crew was staying, before Ji Yu could even comment after reading the news, Shu Chang couldn't help but say, "Brother Ji Yu, accept his challenge! And defeat him! These foreigners are awful!"

Liu Qianqian also looked at Ji Yu, her eyes full of anticipation.

A strong person should not fear any challenge!
Ji Yu smiled and said, "I still have to film, so I don't have time to accept his challenge."

"Brother Ji Yu, aren't you angry?" Shu Chang snorted, deliberately provoking him, "Are you scared?"

Ji Yu couldn't help but reach out and tap her. "You're just being childish with your provocation. Of course I'm not afraid of him. Even if Fernán came, I'd still dare to challenge him."

Shu Chang and Liu Qianqian's faces immediately lit up with anticipation.

“However, I really have to film a movie and don’t have time to accept the competition.” Ji Yu paused for a moment and then said, “But I can accept the challenge, I’ll wait until the movie is finished.”

Shu Chang immediately said, "Then hurry up and take the picture! After you take the picture, beat him decisively! Let those people know that you are the best racer!"

Liu Qianqian couldn't help but nod; in her heart, Ji Yu was indeed the most skilled driver.

Calm, confident, composed, and technically superb!
Seeing their expressions, Ji Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're even more excited than I am. Alright, I'll respond to him through the media when I have time."

Shu Chang immediately said, "Why bother looking for a time? There are already plenty of reporters waiting outside to interview you!"

Ji Yu: "." This kid is too impatient.

He just felt that this was as if someone had deliberately arranged it; it was too much of a coincidence.

Why would an American driver suddenly come out and provoke us?

Could it have been arranged by Jiang Zhiqiang?
Ji Yu stroked his chin, deciding to hold off on asking Jiang Zhiqiang for the time being.

This is their first collaboration, and both sides are leaving some room for maneuver.

But since he wants to create hype, I'll just play along.

The outside world is buzzing with discussion; I guess everyone, like Shu Chang and Liu Qianqian, is hoping for his powerful response.

If that's all, the emotion isn't enough, and even showing off isn't satisfying.

Ji Yu's true job is as a celebrity, and he knows very well how to increase fan loyalty by manipulating their emotions.

The next phase should be one of everyone being angry, expecting his response, then feeling disappointed and contemptuous.

It's estimated that some Japanese drivers will step forward to challenge Maxim, saying things like Kiyo can't represent Japan.

If that Maxim was arranged by Jiang Zhiqiang, he would definitely reject him or even ridicule him severely.

When everyone is even more angry and disappointed, Ji Yu's powerful response can instantly boost the morale to its peak.

The popularity and fans gained will be much greater than if we were to take on the challenge now.

Therefore, this is just a minor matter and not worth his attention.

They didn't mention that they would receive system rewards after filming was completed.

Even in his current state, he is confident that he can beat that person.

At this time, public opinion was exactly as Ji Yu had guessed.

On 2ch, Japan's largest racing forum, angry voices rose and fell.

Every single post was filled with hostility!

"Who does this American think he is? Some kind of F1 champion?"

"It's just a publicity stunt by a washed-up driver whose racing license has been revoked!"

"The West has always looked down on Asia, but this time we're going to make them shut up no matter what!"

Many Hong Kong tabloids and magazines published the provocative photo of Maxim giving the middle finger on their front pages, and also cut out a photo of Ji Yu with a disdainful expression from somewhere and pasted it together.

You son of a bitch! If you dare come near me, I'll kill you!
Mainland media outlets, with sharp wit, directly satirized Maxim, calling him "an outdated American driver who relies on verbal battles to grab attention," making no attempt to hide their contempt for his behavior.

Many media outlets in Southeast Asia share this attitude, but without exception, they are all urging and hoping that Ji Yu will accept the challenge.

Many TV stations also produced special programs about racing, taking advantage of this trend to boost ratings.

It introduces major racing events and top drivers around the world, as well as Maxim's performance in some races.

Some TV stations have gone so far as to spread negative rumors and deliberately provoke viewers' emotions.

A massive wave of public opinion swept in, but Ji Yu remained inexplicably silent and offered no response.

Countless reporters who wanted to conduct interviews were turned away, and they couldn't even manage to catch the reporter at the film set.

Domestic media outlets bombarded Ji Yu's phone and the company's phone lines, but they still received no response whatsoever.

Ji Yu focused on filming every day as if nothing was wrong, as if the noise and commotion outside had nothing to do with him.

Liu Weiqiang and Producer Xu were both worried for him.

"No, you should at least give us your stance! Today, some media outlets have started questioning and mocking you!"

Ji Yu laughed and said, "Isn't that great? Saviors only appear in the most desperate times."

Liu Weiqiang said with a constipated expression, "You're so mean to your own people, you're too mean!"

Producer Xu couldn't help but be surprised. He hadn't expected Ji Yu to have such a plan. If he really did it this way, wouldn't he become an Asian hero?
What was originally just a simple farce has turned into an international incident?
Ji Yu wants to be Huo Yuanjia!
