This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 209 Opening Ceremony

"All drivers and pilots, please assemble in front of the square immediately!"

"All drivers and pilots, please assemble in front of the square immediately!"

The announcement was crisp and clear, instantly reminding every driver of the first day of school.

what?
Summer vacation is over?
Have you finished your summer homework?
Sitting on a bench at the edge of the square, Zhou Yun looked at the expressions of the scattered drivers and smiled slightly in his heart.

What homework? Is there really homework?
"Everyone, please look at the camera!"

The director, his face flushed with radiance, held a loud speaker and excitedly shouted to the drivers, "Do you remember the Light Year Project announcement after the first round?"

At this moment, his heart was like a kerosene rocket, and he felt like he had endless energy!
I thought I had to deal with Jiang Wuyang, who had no idea how the show would work. The Lightyear Project was destined to have low ratings, and in the end he would have to take the blame.

But life is full of surprises. I didn’t expect that a prank king would come…

I really don’t know what other surprises there will be afterwards?

"Come on, everyone, please stand in some scattered spots. The camera crew, hurry in! We need to do the interview quickly. The mentor team will be here soon!"

He looked around and saw Zhou Yun. He quickly ran over with the cameraman and asked, "As for the selection of teammates and mentors for the next stage, who do you want to choose?"

Zhou Yun: “???”

Is this true?
"Mentor team, teammates... um..."

Teammate, it must be Jiang Xiyue, mentor...it seems that Jiang Wuyang can't be put together with Jiang Xiyue...

While he was pondering, Jackdaw said dully, "Let me translate. Zhou Yun is asking, who will I choose? Don't you have an idea?"

Zhou Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.

awesome!
Jackdaw, you really understand me!
"Well, indeed. The answer you want to choose is written on your face." The director team nodded and laughed. "So, do you think your new teammates and mentors can help you win?"

The Jackdaw tilted his head and nodded: "Jackdaw thinks you asked a stupid question."

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. You go ahead and do your work."

The director quickly withdrew his hand and ran to the next driver with the cameraman.

"Excuse me, regarding the next stage, what are your intentions in choosing teammates and mentors?"

"See? This is my best friend! I'll definitely choose him."

Han Yu smiled and put his arm around Bi Chen's shoulders and said, "To fight a tiger, you need brothers!"

Bi Chen nodded, and said to Han Yu, arm in arm: "Go into battle, we need father and son to fight together!"

Hearing this, Han Yu quickly turned around and said, "Get lost!"

After cursing at each other for a few times, they said with a smile, "As for the mentor, it's of course the great Jiang Wuyang. He's the world champion..."

"Yeah, who wouldn't want that?"

The director smiled and then moved on to the next person: "Excuse me, which teammates and mentors would you like to choose?"

"I've already made my choice. Among all these drivers, I get along best with that guy. Yes, the one doing the handstand at the entrance..."

"Why are you doing a handstand?"

"Because looking backwards, you're under my crotch."

"..."

The director walked towards the next person speechlessly: "Excuse me..."

"My teammate is naturally Jiang Xiyue. Jiang Wuyang is my idol, so I will definitely give my full support to his daughter."

"Excuse me……"

"This guy next to me, I think he's quite suitable, whether in the car or in bed..."

"Excuse me……"

After asking a round of questions, beads of sweat rolled down the director's forehead. What kind of weird answers are these?
I guess you guys have been thinking about how to make a living these past five days?

Fortunately, each driver has chosen his or her favorite teammates and mentors, and some have cut their hair.

Just as he was finishing the interview, a gruff voice rang out, "Wuyang! Why are you being so arrogant? You're making Aurora look so humiliating!"

Jiang Wuyang, who was discussing something with his assistant under the monitoring desk, frowned when he heard the voice.

"You're awesome, Yuan Kai. I haven't seen you for over a year, and you're still like this... Haha, if it weren't for the Light Year Project, I wouldn't be able to find you."

Yuan Kai walked forward, looked at the huge square, and said with a smile: "Hehe, we Aurora have one more world championship trophy than you, why should we leave it all to you, the Light Wheel?"

"Isn't it just one more? What's the big deal?"

Jiang Wuyang smiled. Seeing his old rival on the field, his thoughts seemed to go back to the days when they competed for supremacy on the field. He patted Yuan Kai on the shoulder and said, "Long time no see."

Both of them laughed, as if they were back in the days when they were arguing with each other in the national competition. At that time, they were young and energetic, and they ended up fighting each other.

Jackdaw's D-level modules were all requested from this kid, otherwise it would be difficult for Zhou Yun to participate in the S game.

"No need for small talk." Yuan Kai quietly approached Jiang Wuyang and said, "Just let Zhou Yun go to me. I'm a member of the world champion team, so I shouldn't be unqualified. Besides, I do have something to say to Jackdaw."

"That's a nice thought. So many teams want it, you have to take them down first."

"Haha, can you lend me a wrench?"

"Go away, hahaha..."

……

Looking at the person coming, Bi Chen frowned and said, "Why is he here?"

Han Yu was a little puzzled. Why aren't you happy that you Aurora locals are here? "What's wrong?"

"He's the loudest, the most nosy, and the most visible of the Aurora Senior Citizens Group. He's never happy with any of us."

Bi Chen shrugged: "I don't want him to be a mentor...even though his level is really good."

"Then don't choose."

Han Yu already had a plan for his teammates in mind and didn't pay much attention to it.

On the other side, when she saw Yuan Kai, Jackdaw's heart trembled. She leaned quietly on Zhou Yun and tried hard to hide herself.

"Zhou Yun..."

Zhou Yun rubbed Jackdaw's head and sighed.

When stepping onto the track, the racers have already made up their minds, otherwise why would they buy so much insurance?
"It's no problem Jackdaw, we always have to face it."

Hearing this, Jackdaw bit his lip, pulled Zhou Yun's sleeve, and nodded.

"Ok!"

Zhou Yun wanted to say something more, but then the director team's interview was over and Jiang Wuyang stepped onto the platform in the center of the square.

"Congratulations to all the drivers who successfully advanced. You are now officially a member of the Lightyear Project!"

"With that, my speech ends, and it's time to move on to the next stage... I know what you're thinking."

“It can’t be that short!”

"But I, Jiang Wuyang, am just like this... ahem, I don't like long speeches. It's tiring for others and myself."

"In short, I've invited all the famous clubs from all over the world. If you want to win, if you want to get the honor and treatment of being a leader, or even a king, please give it your all!"

After saying that, Jiang Wuyang walked off the stage without looking back.

And you said you are not short?
The director took a deep breath after seeing the infuriating opening remarks. Fortunately, he was well prepared.

After a while, Special Effects Thor and Hualei walked up to the stage together and announced the rules of the second game.

"Congratulations to all the members who successfully advanced. Although you have officially become a member of the Lightyear Project, the amount of track points support you can enjoy, the number of talent engravings you can obtain, and the amount of financial support you can receive all depend on your own efforts!"

"In the second phase, we will fully implement an internal points system. The instructors will grade your daily training, and daily challenges at the Lightyear Base will also accumulate points..."

"The competition will fully utilize Jiuyuan Company's stamp collection. Everyone can prepare their own stamps, or freely choose from the 28 stamp collections provided by Jiuyuan..."

"After three weeks of training, there will be a competition to validate your hard work and efforts. Those with more points will receive more support and rewards!"

"The instructor will also assist you throughout the entire process with specific tactical arrangements and resource provision."

Thor held up a magic wand, circled around his body, and continued to speak with an expressionless face.

"But don't be complacent just because you have support. A week after the second game, there will be another brutal test!"

"We will use several brutal elimination matches to determine who is the leader!"

"The losing driver will go home with his current treatment, and the winner will decide the true king!"

"Next, please choose your teammates first!"

Thor walked to the front of the stage and continued, "Except for medal holders, all other drivers please come here and fill out your teammate preferences..."

Soon, all the drivers came to the stage and wrote down the names of their desired teammates, stroke by stroke.

"Orbital camera moving in, lens gathering and ready!"

The director grabbed the loudspeaker and shouted, "It's almost time to announce the teammates. All drivers who have finished writing, please bring your mecha girls and stand in two lines at the front!"

Except for the top three, the other nineteen drivers stood up and looked at the mentors' seats that were constantly being taken, with smiles on their faces.

"I think Jiang Wuyang will choose my team."

"Nonsense, Han Yu and I are the strongest. Do you want to bet with me?"

"No, I should be chosen. My driving skills are quite compatible with my teammates."

Everyone had a fighting spirit on their face. They had made preparations early and were looking forward to the attention of the target instructor.

After capturing a series of wonderful expressions, the director spoke while holding up a loud speaker.

"Now, please read out your intended teammates."

"Number 4, Han Yu."

"Number 5, Zhou Yun."

"Number 6, Zhou Yun."

"Number 7, the big black dog at the door."

"Number 8, Zhou Yun..."

"Zhou Yun..."

"Jiang Xiyue..."

"Zhou Yun..."

After hearing this long list about Zhou Yun, all the drivers were stunned.

Didn’t we agree to choose me?

How could you do this? I fooled you for nothing! You called me your good brother last night when we were at the restaurant, but you don't recognize me when you wake up this morning, right?
Is there no trust in bed?

The director was also confused.

It’s a large-scale human social experiment, yes, but what’s going on with the dog at the door?

What the hell did it do to you? It's been bothering you since the first stage?
"..."

He quickly called the top three to enter to get rid of this embarrassing scene. He also wanted to comply with Jiang Wuyang's wishes and make Zhou Yun the BOSS.

How about making a shot where thousands of soldiers are besieging Zhou Yun, and Zhou Yun stands still in the midst of the soldiers? Now?

What the fuck?
Just be funny!

"Medal holder Han Yu, please make your choice." Han Yu's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. He glanced at Zhou Yun not far away, then looked at Bi Chen's excited eyes and nodded.

I will never let my brother down.

"I choose Zhou Yun."

Bi Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. Damn?
Who do you think voted for Han Yu? Are you stabbing me like that?

"Medal holder Jiang Xiyue, please make your choice."

Jiang Xiyue smiled and waved to Zhou Yun: "I want to choose Zhou Yun! Zhou Yun is my life mentor!"

Jiang Wuyang spat out a mouthful of blood. Damn?
Zhou Yun, can you explain to me what a life mentor is?

"Medal holder Zhou Yun, please make your choice."

Zhou Yun looked at Jiang Xiyue, smiled and nodded to her. Of course, all this was self-evident.

"Can't I just pick one more?"

"No." Thor refused directly: "You can only choose one."

"Okay, of course it's Xiyue."

Seeing Zhou Yun made his choice, drivers from all over the world also made their second choice.

Yes, Zhou Yun must want the best, so it’s normal that he can’t be chosen... But why do I feel so angry?

"Next, please ask the mentors to start choosing the team you want."

When it came to this part, the atmosphere suddenly exploded.

"I'm definitely going to choose Zhou Yunxiyue's team. I'll be angry with anyone who snatches it from me!"

"Oh my god, you're talking like you've won two world championships. That's hilarious! Do you have what it takes to compete with me?"

"If you dare, come to our Sichuan-Tibet and fight our Kunlun. Do you believe I will swing you into the Bashu Basin?"

"There's no need to go that far, just to Kyoto. You pick the place, and I'll personally come and confront you!"

The mentors from various clubs were arguing with each other, their faces red with anger.

The model that Jiang Wuyang has created is not only for drivers to compete, but also for clubs to compete!

The clubs present are all nationally renowned. Who would want to be inexplicably inferior to others on a program with such high ratings?
We must have the best students!

Otherwise, if you lose, who knows what kind of dirty bomb the other side’s PR will launch!

"Hehehe..."

Jiang Wuyang sat among the mentors, grabbed the hot tea that had just cooled down, and smiled calmly.

Let’s fight for it.

Grab it.

Otherwise, can you devote yourself to educating the drivers?
I'm afraid it would have been a disaster long ago.

Ye Qing, who was standing aside, was not used to this kind of environment. He stared blankly. Jiang Wuyang smiled and said, "Ye Qing, let's watch the show..."

"Boom!"

Yuan Kai stepped a big military boot directly on Jiang Wuyang's table. He didn't know what he stepped on before he did it, but Jiang Wuyang and Ye Qing were splashed with smelly black mud.

He rolled up his sleeves and shouted recklessly, "Kyoto Grand Stage, if you've got what it takes, come on up! I'll cut you down, and you're done for!"

Looking at the black mud in the tea bowl, Jiang Wuyang's temper also flared up.

"Yuan Kai! Forget about choosing! Let's have a game on this track. I want to see if you can still hold up after all these years!"

"Come here! Who is afraid of whom?"

"Whoever is cowardly is your grandson!"

In the end, the program crew had to pause the recording in front of the two hot-tempered racers.

The director isn't afraid of you two gambling on cars and arguing for a fight. What the hell is going on when you two arrive at the track, with no driver and pretending to have a heart attack?

Get sick!
Just do it to the end!

It’s okay not to fight, but the problem is that if you two take the opportunity to go out and eat hotpot, will the program crew still record it?
I know you, Mr. Jiang, are busy, but you can't give yourself a break like this.

……

evening.

As each team member was selected, the Lightyear Project also divided a specific training area for each team and replanned the living area to integrate the two drivers' accommodation rooms together.

"Zhou Yun, is there anything else I can help you with?"

The Thunder God looked around the large room, carrying the washing machine on his shoulder as if it were a large sword and asked.

"No, thank you so much."

Zhou Yun rubbed his chin. If he had known she was so capable, he should have directly...

"Nothing, I'll be back to my room... Oh, by the way, Mr. Lin from Jiuyuan Company called me and said that the track events for today have been announced. Can you provide some modification instructions?"

"She told me that the sooner you study, the sooner you can finish."

Zhou Yun nodded, thinking that it was right, the sooner you study it, the sooner you can finish it.

"Well, this time it's a mixed track, with asphalt tracks and small dirt tracks. It's not as extreme as rally, so we'll use this model... That's right."

He then took out a pile of blueprints and a brake system part for the left front wheel from his bag.

"I also know that forcing you to change it all at once is unrealistic, so I plan to do it step by step."

"I'll modify the front brake first. Here are the three frameworks and variants of the front brake system I'm thinking of, one that suits me and the other that suits Xiyue..."

At this point, he slapped his head and thought, yes, I should call Xiyue over to think about it together.

"Zhou Yun! Hey, here I come~"

Speak of the devil, and here he is. After Jiang Xiyue packed up her things, she ran into Zhou Yun's room immediately.

"Tomorrow is the gathering training, hehe..."

I heard that the shareholders recently approved Uncle Chen. How cool and happy!
I just want to scare him so that he won't dare to cause trouble with Sister Ling Yu again! Humph!
It can be seen that Xiyue has been very happy recently. The girl looks much more lively, which makes Zhou Yun happy as well.

"You've come just in time..."

Listening to Zhou Yun's description, Jiang Xiyue looked at Qingluan, who was beside her and felt hopeless, and said with a smile: "I have no problem with this. The second framework is very suitable for Sister Qingluan. Now Sister Qingluan can run more freely..."

Under Qingluan's resentful gaze, Jiang Xiyue quickly explained her thoughts, and after Lei Shen left, she told him the real reason for her visit.

"The Lightyear Project hasn't even chosen a mentor yet. Zhou Yun, what do you plan to do when a mentor is chosen?"

Zhou Yun lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, the choice of mentor can be important.

But…their running style is very special, and if they don’t have a mentor who understands drifting, they can easily be misjudged by their experience.

It's not necessary to give blind orders. Just choose someone who knows the ropes. The rest of you need to do your job properly.

Moreover, Jiuyuan’s exclusive prints need to be developed, although they have made a promise.

But be prepared for the lack of exclusive prints.

So don't get an instructor who likes to be too controlling, or who is very noisy and interferes with training.

For example, like Aurora’s mentor.

I can’t afford it, I really can’t afford it.

Then he turned to look at the Jackdaw.

For the sake of the jackdaw, please don't come...

"Zhou Yun! Hahaha, when it comes to financial strength, who can beat me, Aurora, except for Nimbus!"

Yuan Kai shouted directly outside the door: "Xiao Ru and I are your mentors. Please open the door for me so we can meet each other!"

"What are you two looking at? If you have the guts, give that much to the Lightyear Project! Why are you jealous of me finding a good driver?"

"If you dare, your club should also win two world championship trophies!"

"Zhou Yun! Let us in!"

"I feel like the atmosphere is a little off!"

"Zhou Yun!"

Zhou Yun and Jiang Xiyue looked at each other.

Facts have proved that Murphy's Law is real. Even if you don't want it to come, it will come.

Jiang Xiyue stood up helplessly: "I'll go open the door..."

Jackdaw immediately ran into Zhou Yun's arms, his eyes flickering as he whispered, "Zhou Yun, I..."

Zhou Yun felt the stupid crow in his arms, thinking about the track he had built to make the crow depressed. He raised his hand and said, "Xiyue, turn off the lights and pretend we're asleep."

It feels really nice to hold the jackdaw in your arms.

On the other side, Jiang Xiyue suddenly realized after turning off the lights. Falling asleep, pretending?
Ok?
No matter how I think about it, I feel a little irritated!

"Zhou Yun!"

"Zhou Yun!"

"Zhou Yun!"

……

On the other side, in Han Yu’s bedroom, the noisy noises in the corridor almost annoyed the already tired Ye Qing!
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said with a smile, "Anyway, Uncle Jiang and I will be the instructors responsible for training you two. Uncle Jiang has gone to prepare the training ground resources, so I'll just say it directly."

"Now that I'm here, I'm not going to let either of you lose."

"You two and I combined, are you confident that we can take first place? Take the leaderboard?"

Han Yu, who was originally very tired, suddenly laughed: "That's exactly what I want."

Bi Chen's eyes lit up. This guy was a national champion from three realms! He must have some idea.

"Okay, then I will..."

Ye Qing was just about to hurry up and let the two of them know the next plan so that they could be mentally prepared, but unfortunately, the phone rang.

He wanted to hang up directly, but he didn't expect it was Chen Shuo calling.

After sighing, he stood up and said, "I'm going to answer a call, you guys are busy."

After watching Ye Qing leave the room, Bi Chen hurriedly asked curiously: "Han Yu, where have you been these days? You made yourself so tired."

Han Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course I'm going to do something that's sure to win. In this competition, I must grab my idol's trophy."

"Tsk, you're keeping me in suspense again, is it over yet?"

"Haha, you'll know when the time comes... By the way." Han Yu pinched his fingers slightly. He was a little embarrassed at first, but he spoke quickly and decisively: "Can you lend me some money?"

Hearing this, Bi Chen was stunned.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to borrow, but Han Yu has come to this point, which means he has borrowed from everyone he can.

"No...bro, how much do you need?"

Han Yu clasped his hands together and said, "20W, do you have it? Please..."
