This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 182 Kyoto
The warm winds from the Indian Ocean bring up layers of clouds, which spread over the peaks of the Himalayas and eventually converge in the basin of Bashu, embellishing the sky with a romantic river of clouds.

The plane flew upwards, through the heavy sea of ​​clouds, and soared into the blue sky.

"Wow! Wow!"

Yinling lay beside the window of the plane, looking at the clouds gilded by the sunlight, and exclaimed in amazement.

"The Yangtze River is just water!"

"That's a cloud!" Feng Ying said speechlessly, "If you don't have any words, just say it's awesome, don't exclaim blindly."

"Why am I sighing so blindly? Aren't clouds made of water?"

"..."

Listening to the voices of the two little ones, Zhou Yun felt a little excited.

The existence of mecha girls has accelerated the racing process in this world.

In the past, when he wanted to go to other places to participate in competitions, not to mention the consumables, simply transporting the racing car was a big problem.

If you want to transport three vehicles, you often have to prepare for several months in advance, and then carefully send them there by large truck. After arriving at the destination, you still have to debug them for several weeks before you can participate in the competition.

Now?

Three plane tickets and it's done.

Zhou Yun sighed in his heart: "You two should keep your voices down and don't disturb other passengers. The jackdaw is still sleeping."

"I'm not asleep!" Jackdaw raised his head from Zhou Yun's shoulder and looked around hurriedly: "Oh, it's not here yet."

"Oh, then Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun, after arriving in Kyoto, where should we go first?"

"Yes, yes. I heard that Kyoto can accommodate eight Jingyun Cities. It's so big. We won't get lost, will we?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yun smiled slightly and took out his phone: "Don't worry, I already have a plan. I'll invite the guide over in a while."

I have finally come to Kyoto, and it was invited by Jiang Wuyang. It is impossible for you, Jiang Xiyue, to not show your hospitality.

First, go and taste the delicacies from all over Kyoto, and then take in the beautiful scenery of Kyoto. Following this standard process, doesn’t this create a lot of contact time?

Then, in the process, add some soft and hard persuasion, repeatedly pull, and create some wonderful memories...

I don't believe you won't come to our Yunyi team.

"Beep, the number you dialed is unavailable."

Zhou Yuncancan put away her phone.

forget.

This is on the plane, the phone is in flight mode and there is no signal.

After more than three hours of flight, the plane slowly landed at the airport in Kyoto. After landing, Zhou Yun called Jiang Xiyue immediately.

"Beep, the number you dialed is currently unavailable."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

After a while, Jiang Xiyue's text message came.

[Sorry, Zhou Yun, I can't leave right now. When I'm done, I'll treat you and Jackdaw to a feast!]

"It seems like he's really busy."

Zhou Yun put down his phone. There was nothing he could do. They had to explore Kyoto on their own next.

He then followed the surging crowd to retrieve his suitcase. Looking at the airport lobby, he felt it most directly for the first time...

Robot girl racing is really popular in this world!
Posters of the girls and their drivers, advertisements of their endorsements, and products endorsed by the girls are sold in airport stores. There are also dedicated 'self-service channels for the girls' in various places.

Looking at the advertisement of the light wheel on the advertising screen, he couldn't help but sigh that compared with Kyoto, Jingyun was really small.

The advertisement on the LED screen above the hall suddenly changed.

[The S race in Jingyun City has come to an end. Drivers Zhou Yun and Lin Ye Jackdaw of the Yunyi Racing Team have once again created a miracle!]

Three victories in three matches! From a humble mechanic to a top contender in the S-League, the key to his consistent success is... the Blue Sheep!

【Blue Sheep Sports Functional Drink, your energy is far beyond your imagination! 】

[Zhou Yun: One sip refreshes the mind, two sips keep you tired forever… Jackdaw makes a scissors gesture: Oh yeah!]

Looking at the fake-smiling boy holding a drink on the big screen, he was almost embarrassed.

So he quickly took out a mask from his pocket and put it on, and gave one to Jackdaw.

"Oh my god, why did I accept Blue Sheep's sponsorship? Luckily no one noticed..."

Then he suddenly realized a problem.

Not only Jiang Xiyue didn't change her clothes, he found out that he didn't change either!
"Come on, Jackdaw, let's go."

After running out of the huge airport, Zhou Yun took a look at the sky in BJ and the unfamiliar buildings everywhere, wondering what to do next.

They came early.

The Lightyear Project is still busy renovating the racetrack for the competition, so no staff will come to pick them up for the time being.

This was exactly what Zhou Yun wanted, as he could take the girls with him to relax for a few days.

But without a guide, it is not necessarily possible to understand Kyoto by relying solely on a mobile phone map.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun turned to look at the three mecha girls: "Let's find a hotel to stay in first, then I'll contact the travel agency and hire a guide..."

"No, that's not necessary." Jackdaw raised his hand and said, "I can lead the way!"

"I'm very familiar with Kyoto. When I was in Aurora, I often wandered around there."

Speaking of this, her heart became a little restless.

Sister Ruoyue said that Zhou Yun has been busy with competitions in the past few months and definitely needs to relax.

The thought of this filled her with motivation: "Don't worry, I'm here to make sure we have a great time in Kyoto."

Looking at the jackdaw's expression that was three parts satisfied, three parts excited, and two parts seeking credit, Zhou Yun couldn't help laughing out loud.

He reached out and gently rubbed the jackdaw's head.

"Jackdaw, your smile is a bit obscene."

……

On the other side of the city, outside the Fifth Ring Road, inside the Nimbus Club.

Jiang Xiyue found the maintenance workshop from the track, and then found the operations department from the maintenance workshop. Finally, she found Ling Yu sitting next to the water dispenser in the lounge of Team 13.

"Sister Lingyu, I didn't expect them to transfer you here. How are you? Did they cause you any trouble?"

Ling Yu raised his head, saw Jiang Xiyue, and smiled.

"Xiyue, they just asked me to shoot a 'new product print' commercial. Don't worry, no one would dare to embarrass the former world champion mecha girl."

"But from now on, I will stay in Team 13 for a while."

Jiang Xiyue sat next to Ling Yu and said angrily, "I'm so pissed off. They even said they were going to investigate me, saying I was negligent on the track. I'm so pissed off!"

"Don't worry, I've told my dad, you should be able to come back in a few days."

She sat beside Ling Yu, repeatedly looking at Ling Yu's expression. After making sure that Ling Yu was fine, she sighed secretly.

She never imagined that leaving the Nimbus Club would be so difficult.

Although she didn't care about the breach of contract after her withdrawal, the ownership of Ling Yu's contract belonged to Guanglun.

As long as Guanglun doesn't want to let Lingyu go, Lingyu can't leave.

This is almost unsolvable.

During this month, she contacted many people, but they all said it was useless.

Unless you file a complaint with WMC to terminate the contract, but there is little hope.

Hearing Jiang Xiyue's words, Ling Yu immediately put his hand on his forehead and said, "Well, Jiang Wuyang and Chen Shuo are going to quarrel endlessly again."

"It's so annoying! I don't care about their conflicts. What do they think of me? They keep pushing me around."

Ling Yu poured a glass of water for Jiang Xiyue and tidied up Jiang Xiyue's messy hair.

She suddenly felt that human relationships were like Jiang Xiyue's hair, the more she combed it, the more tangled it became.

Chen Shuo doesn't want Jiang Xiyue to leave, but he doesn't want her to play in the S game either. Jiang Wuyang wants Jiang Xiyue to stay and play in the S game, but Jiang Xiyue herself wants to leave...

Unconsciously, she had tangled Jiang Xiyue's hair into a mess.

"You really want to leave?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xiyue clenched her fists: "The people in Yun Yi's team are very nice and speak well. By the way." "Did you know that Zhou Yun came to Kyoto to participate in the Light Year Project? After this matter is resolved, we... Oh, right, the Light Year Project!"

Jiang Xiyue's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister Lingyu, I know what to do in the next chapter... No, I know what to do."

After saying that, she ran out in a hurry, leaving behind a few words.

"Sister Lingyu, wait for my good news."

……

night.

The bed in the hotel was so soft that it seemed as if it was sinking in, which made Zhou Yun feel a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and search for the Lightyear Project.

Although you are in the process of relaxing now, you should throw your brain away and pick it up again when you have had enough fun.

But he couldn't help but think about the game.

With 40 million track points at stake, he dared not neglect it. But now the Lightyear Project has not even made the competition rules public. Is this reasonable?
The Light Year Project trials are underway. Ten "leaders" and one "champion" will be selected from among the 88 seeded players.

['Leaders' will qualify for the S-League, and 'Kings' will receive unimaginable resources to lead this year's S-League!]

The entire Lightyear Project will be broadcast live, ensuring you don't miss any of the drivers' exciting growth moments!

Watching the promotional video for the Lightyear Project trials, Zhou Yun looked like an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

"Why does it look like a fucking idol debut?"

It's so exaggerated.

Besides, after saying so much, there is really no information about the content of the game.

"Zhou Yun, where is our first stop tomorrow?"

Jackdaw lay beside Zhou Yun's bed, holding his phone in both hands and happily taking notes.

"Should we go to Badaling Great Wall first to see the Great Wall Circuit, or go to the Forbidden City, or visit the WMC headquarters..."

Zhou Yun continued to flip through his phone, trying to find a bit of useful information from the vast ocean of Lightyear Project propaganda waste. He said casually, "It's up to you. Wait."

Lightyear Project announces that this year's selection competition will fully utilize a new technology: 'Stamp Collection'

[The 'Stamp Collection' was developed by 'Jiuyuan Company' in 21 years. It has undergone thousands of rounds of track testing and has a powerful effect on the mecha girls!]

[Tomorrow, the new print release event for 'Jiuyuan Company' will be held at Kyoto Racing City!]

Mecha girl prints?

Zhou Yun had heard about this thing at the Mecha Girl Racing Technology Conference where he first met Lin Yao.

Unlike the talent imprints of the mecha girls, this is a technology created by humans. I didn't expect it to enter the practical stage so quickly.

"Jackdaw, let's go to Racing City tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the two little ones who were playing video games in the living room suddenly became excited.

"Great!"

"Hot Wheels Raceway! Hot Wheels Raceway! The destination of the brave robot girl, Hot Wheels!"

“There’s also a dynamic VR experience hall!”

"Hmm!" Jackdaw hummed excitedly, then started typing a memo with his hands.

[1. I want to eat ice cream from Xiao Xiao’s house in the racing city with Zhou Yun.]

[2. I want to go to the Reiatsu Fountain with Zhou Yun and eat cotton candy.]

3. Let’s go shopping together…

She smiled sweetly.

"I really want tomorrow to come soon!"

The next day.

“I really want to go back to yesterday!”

Zhou Yun looked at the building under construction in front of him, then looked at the desolate earth slopes made of broken bricks around him. For a moment, his head was a little dizzy.

Why didn't you have any doubts yesterday when Jackdaw said she would lead the way?

"Eh, eh?"

Jackdaw's eyes widened as he looked at the bus stop next to him and then at the construction site in front of him.

"what happened?"

"From the hotel near the airport, take bus 131 to the terminal, transfer to bus 129 and continue to the terminal, then take bus 23 three stops ahead, and finally go 3 meters north..."

"Yes, every time I go out to play a game, I come back along this road."

Zhou Yun rubbed his eyebrows and instantly figured out the problem.

"It's been ten years. Racing City has moved away a long time ago."

"..."

Jackdaw lowered his head, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes: "Zhou, Zhou Yun, I'm sorry."

Zhou Yun smiled and consoled him, "Alright, the racing city isn't far from here. It only takes about 20 minutes by taxi. Let's go."

……

Kyoto Racing City, commonly known as the Happy City of Robot Girls.

A super-large urban area that integrates multiple purposes such as car racing, car services, and car entertainment and tourism.

There are more than ten top-level race tracks in the city, the most famous of which is the Hot Wheels race track.

The Hot Wheels track is essentially a type of overpass, but compared to traditional overpasses, this track is not only large in scale but also very high.

From a distance, the track looks like a ball of feathers floating in the air.

Zhou Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.

“That’s crazy.”

The two little ones suddenly turned into cameras, taking pictures everywhere, with an expression that showed they would not stop until the camera memory was empty.

"Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun, when are we going to the VR Experience Center?"

"We're going to start the machine too!"

Looking at the people coming and going around, Zhou Yun scanned for a long time before finally seeing the huge 'Jiuyuan' logo below the Hot Wheels track.

"Don't worry, let's go to the press conference first. You two should take it easy. If you get lost, I won't be able to find you two."

When he arrived at the stamp collection store, Zhou Yun showed the tickets he had bought in a group on WeChat last night.

The worker glanced at it and made a gesture of invitation.
"Welcome Yunyi Team, please come in, the press conference has begun."

In order to maintain the effect of the press conference, the lights in the audience were not turned on and it was pitch black.

Zhou Yun and a few girls groped their way to the last row, found a few empty seats, sat down, and looked at the stage.

A mecha girl with emerald green hair, wearing a white shirt, looks very fresh and capable.

Behind her is a huge LED display screen, which is showing their company's latest product-level "print".

"Welcome everyone to this new product launch. I'm Lin Qinglei, you can also call me Print Collection Green Radish."

"I believe everyone has heard of our printing company's products."

"Stamps, unlike talent engravings, do not occupy engraving slots. To use it, simply stick it on the mecha armor."

"It's simple, easy, and quick, and you can get the added effect you want."

"Although it can't reach deep into the engine, it can change the way the mecha girl's skills are triggered, adding a buff to the skills and increasing their power."

As she spoke, the huge screen behind her began to play the effect video.

"We are honored to have invited the S3 season world champion mecha girl, Heavy Tank Lingyu, to participate in this promotion."

Jackdaw was immediately surprised and said, "Oh, Sister Lingyu!"

In the video, Ling Yu, who was wearing tight armor, had prints applied to him, and then the armor on his body exploded bit by bit.

What was different from before was that this time, the breeze surrounding Ling Yu was filled with a faint red flame.

Not long after, Ling Yu appeared in the center of the track with a blazing wind sweeping around him.
