This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 219: Prelude to the Fierce Battle
【What? 】

[How did Jiang Xiyue do it? ]

How can it float so fast sideways? Even if it's Wind Style: Dust Realm... No!

[How does she maintain a straight jet flow with the car sideways? This doesn't make sense!]

Just as thousands of greeting messages were sent in the live broadcast room in one second, a word from the commentator woke everyone up.

"And what did I see? A unique print that increases lateral force! Has Jiuyuan Company made a technological breakthrough?
Ning Yuan, who was puzzled, was suddenly relieved as if by thunder when he heard these words, and all his doubts disappeared.

He slammed the table, his tone as excited as if he was going to Liangshan.

"This commentary was definitely paid by Jiuyuan Company! Otherwise, would they just say it directly?"

"Ha, I'm almost going crazy waiting for this moment to say the slogan!"

"How much did you pay for the promotion and marketing? Come to me. There will definitely be no middlemen making a profit from the price difference!"

In the stands, Lin Qinglei, director of Jiuyuan Company, breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally displayed!
This is more than just a sticker, it's an existence that transcends Reiatsu skills and racing structure.

"From now on, perhaps high-level competitions will no longer be exclusive to mecha girls."

She smiled, then frowned slightly. Why didn't Zhou Yun use it?

While thinking, Hua Huan ran upstairs breathlessly: "Sister Luluo, something happened. I just ran a long circle to find out who did it..."

Listening to Hua Huan's brief narration, Lin Qinglei's pupils suddenly widened. She leaned out of the railing of the private room and looked in the direction of Chen Shuo.

"Nimbus! Are you sick?"

At the same time, Jiang Xiyue had already blocked Han Yu's position and was the first to rush towards the starting point of the Great Wall Track.

Suddenly, a clear phoenix cry was heard above the Great Wall, and the birds circling in the sky also sang along.

As the flames swirled, the Qingluan's engine began to scream at the top of its lungs.

Chen Shuo's expression was quite interesting as he listened to the roaring engine sound that shook the mountains.

This tactic?

Even with all the tires gone, you guys are already extremely talented drivers if you can still finish the race.

In this extreme situation, you still want to win?
And you want to win in the most uncomfortable way for me?

At this moment, countless futures converged in his mind. He seemed to hear Jiang Wuyang's laughter, his subordinates' silent ridicule, the investors' dissatisfaction, and the shareholders' doubts...

He quickly said to his assistant, "Quick, withdraw the agreement first. Let's take some precautions with the shareholders..."

After a while, the assistant's breathless voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Chen, I, I just asked them to sign and then I changed my mind. It's not appropriate..."

Chen Shuo's hands suddenly froze.

If something goes wrong, Guanglun’s funding chain will not be broken!

After a few seconds, he looked at the track and said in a dull tone: "I see, Wu Yang really found a good driver... Ye Qing, find a solution quickly!"

"Ye Qing, if you don't find a way to overtake, Xiyue will disappear!"

Sitting in the manager's seat, Jiang Wuyang relaxed his hand holding the pen slightly as he watched the colorful images on the screen. A mixture of emotions filled his heart for a moment.

Four sets of tires meant that the entire team only had four chances. Under this reality, he couldn't think of any chance that the Yunyue team could win.

But he never expected that Zhou Yun was not obsessed with personal victory, and would actually give up the personal points championship to protect the team championship.

"For that almost impossible podium? Zhou Yun..."

"It's really better to be better than someone who's always better than someone who's always better than someone else."

Then he looked at Xiyue who was running fast in front of him and said with a smile: "Daughter, run faster and don't waste this opportunity."

He knew very well what kind of sacrifices Zhou Yun had made and what kind of pressure he had to bear under such tactics.

The next race will be a long and fierce battle. Zhou Yun, can you hold on?

"However, the honor and victory also go to the drivers who are willing to make the effort."

At this time, Xiyue was getting faster and faster, and Zhou Yun behind her intentionally or unintentionally blocked Han Yu's position.

Soon, Qingluan had opened up a distance of almost two car cars between them and Zhou Yun, and the gap was still widening.

Han Yu's body was already soaked with cold sweat.

"Ye Qing! Yunyue Group..."

"The real number one in the Yunyue Group is Xiyue, and Zhou Yun is actually number two!"

Listening to Han Yu's very surprised tone in the headphones, Ye Qing sighed, closed his eyes and thought for half a second, then opened his eyes.

"Han Yu retreated behind Bi Chen, and Bi Chen stayed close to Zhou Yun."

"Since he doesn't want us to have a good life, then we shouldn't let him have an easy life either, Bi Chen..."

Bi Chen, who had already adjusted his parking position, looked at the track guardrails constructed by spiritual pressure on both sides, and then looked at Han Shuang in front of him.

"Understood, Brother Ye. Once we get out of the Great Wall, I will take him to the maintenance station."

Han Yu interrupted, "But what about Jiang Xiyue?"

Ye Qing adjusted the collar of his shirt, looked up at the rankings on the screen next to the audience seats, and frowned inwardly.

Jiang Xiyue rushed over, Mr. Chen might...

Fuck Mr. Chen.

This is my strategy, I must win.

"After Zhou Yun enters the maintenance station, find a chance to chase him and make sure to stop Xiyue."

"In this lap, Xiyue overtook by about 4 kilometers at most. After chasing for seven or eight laps, she will definitely catch up. Besides, after Zhou Yun changes the tire, the situation will be different."

Ye Qing looked at the Great Wall of Spiritual Pressure that stretched across the sky like a dragon, and gradually he felt at ease.

"Zhou Yun's tactics are indeed impressive, but he's already destroyed five of his innate imprints, relying on only the remaining three. Without the need for drifting, his speed will only get slower and slower..."

Even though he was piloting a Jackdaw, it would be difficult for him to get away from the other mecha girls since he had destroyed so many of his seals.

"This kind of self-destructive play will drown you in the sea of ​​skills before you reach the mid-game. Bi Chen, at this speed, a large number of mecha girls will come out of the Great Wall together."

“By then, I’m afraid there will be a large wave of skill slots targeting Zhou Yun.”

Bi Chen, who had already caught up to the rear of the Jackdaw, heard this and honked the horn with a smile: "I understand, Brother Ye, I'll take care of Zhou Yun..."

"No! I told you not to waste your skills. Hurry up and overtake and get into the pits, and try to get ahead of Zhou Yun!"

The commentator's excited voice echoed through the audience: "I never thought that Zhou Yun from the Yunyue Group would be the team's number 2."

"He used his own fame to skillfully resolve the complex situation Xiyue was facing, and quietly sent Jiang Xiyue to the top of the rankings."

"As expected of a tactician, how can you be so dirty?"

The wind was even stronger at high altitudes. It passed through the racing car and rushed back along the battlements on both sides of the Great Wall, forming a turbulent vortex.

Looking at the red wolf that was roaring continuously in the rearview mirror, Zhou Yun patted the steering wheel lightly. Feeling the jackdaw's desire to speed along this happy road, he gritted his teeth.

He knew that Bi Chen's top speed was insufficient and Jackdaw could definitely shake him off if he exerted his full strength.

But he only had four sets of tires.

He was responsible for holding the line and was assigned 3 sets of tires, with the aim of ensuring that Jiang Xiyue would be the first to leave the others far behind.

If no one interferes, Qingluan might be able to... reach the end with one set of tires!
"Jackdaw, let's continue driving slowly. Be careful not to let the tachometer drop below zero. This will make the race officials think we're playing passively."

Zhou Yun's breathing gradually calmed down, and the time for a head-on confrontation had come.

Even though he had three sets of tires with this one, it was still very tough.

For all races, except for special competitions, the number of laps is calculated by dividing 750 kilometers by the kilometers of the track. In this round, the track is 14 kilometers, so 53 laps are required.

This means that it takes at least 18 laps to change a set of tires, which is close to the theoretical limit of track tires.

It's only the 7th lap and the tires are less than 45% intact.

If we descend a little more, the tires might slip on the flat road.

"Ah."

Watching the firestorm getting farther and farther away, she felt a little sad that she couldn't run happily.

But Zhou Yun’s thoughts are more important.

"Slowly, slowly, the little raccoon knight is not afraid of dogs."

“Slow down…” “I didn’t ask you to be so slow! You’re sitting at the same table with the old car! Jackdaw, we can go faster…”

"That's too fast! Can you control the pace a little bit?"

Zhou Yun smiled and said, "I know you don't like or are not good at this kind of thing. I don't like it either, but we have one thing in common."

"You don't want to compromise with your opponent, do you? Just treat it as a walk."

Hearing these words, Jackdaw felt inexplicably warm in his heart.

"Ok!"

Soon, Jackdaw had found the feeling of taking a walk and locked Han Yu and Bi Chen behind him. Zhou Yun held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, looking at the Qingluan that was shrinking little by little in front, and then looked at the increasing number of mecha girls behind him.

"Jackdaw, let's hold back all the drivers. No one can get through."

"He won't be able to delay for long."

Lin Qinglei held the railing with both hands, listening to the sound of Jiang Xiyue driving the Qingluan whizzing past below, and talked to herself.

Then she looked up at the Wall.

The lower the integrity of the tire, the greater the friction and the difficulty of the driver's operation will increase exponentially. Even after passing the Great Wall Circuit, the tire will not be able to withstand it.

"The outcome of this match is almost decided..."

Lin Qinglei squatted down. The feeling of surprise that Zhou Yun had brought her just now had disappeared, replaced by worry.

Slowly clench your little fist.

In order to make Zhou Yun a comprehensive strategic partner, the top-level roundtable of Jiuyuan Group is needed, and in order to get the three members of the roundtable to fully fund him, it must at least be justifiable on the surface.

"Under the current circumstances, even the stamp collection is hard to display. If we can't even get first place in the team..."

"I'll beat up those three idiots!"

She leaned against the railing, concentrating on looking at the trumpet-shaped exit of the Great Wall.

"The big melee is about to begin."

"A storm is coming."

Yuan Kai made a cup of coffee and placed it next to the command desk, constantly reporting various data to Zhou Yun.

"Zhou Yun, the thing you need to be most careful about is the exclusive skill of the 5th scene. The more drivers there are around, the stronger his ground-based braking skills will be, and the faster his speed will be..."

"Next is the seventh one... Anyway, there will be a lot of skills that rely on the number of drivers, and then it will completely explode..."

"Also, watch your tires."

Zhou Yun glanced at the data on the Heart Contract.

In fact, there was no need to look, the crow had already given him the answer.

"Zhou Yun, the drum feels slippery underneath, and it keeps leaning to the left, like... a herniated disc. Even if I move (the kinetic stabilization system), it won't push back."

"What lumbar disc herniation?" Zhou Yun complained speechlessly: "You clearly have scoliosis..."

"By the way, are the tires of the mecha girl equivalent to gods?"

The jackdaw blinked, somewhat puzzled. "A tire is a tire! It's like... well, well..."

"shoe?"

“Same as condoms!”

Zhou Yun suddenly had a thousand complaints in his heart, but before he could finish them, he had already rushed out of the Great Wall track.

"Jiang Xiyue is still charging forward, pushing the limits of this track. Unfortunately, no race has ever been held on this track before, so she can't get the bonus points for breaking the fastest lap."

"Zhou Yun, dragging his tattered tire, once again arrived at the starting grid, looking out over the track. It must be said, he did it!"

"Through a series of strategic deceptions in the early stages, the Yunyue team has carved out its current astonishing advantage! This has happened before in S-League history, but achieving this set of conditions is extremely demanding. Zhou Yun fooled everyone."

"Right now, Jiang Xiyue is so far ahead. It will be difficult for other riders to catch up with her."

Zhou Yun, driving a Jackdaw, had just rushed out of the Great Wall when more than a dozen drivers, driving their mechas, also rushed out.

Just like dumplings, all of them sent spiritual pressure to the Great Wall, and for a moment the trumpet-shaped mouth of the Great Wall was in chaos.

The commentator gripped the microphone tightly and said with a smile, "A large number of drivers are now gathering outside the Great Wall. Next, Zhou Yun will probably have to go to the pits to avoid the skill melee."

"Yeah, his tires need a break."

"Bi Chen, Han Yu, get ready." Ye Qing looked at the stopwatch, then at Jiang Xiyue's data, and thought about it in his mind.

It’s okay. Han Yu caught up in 9 laps, and he could have caught up in 15 laps even if there were obstacles.

There are 53 laps in this race. Don’t be in a hurry. Let’s take our time.

"Got it, Brother Ye." Bi Chen quietly stopped his skills and waited for Zhou Yun to be captured by other drivers' skills.

"Yeah." Han Yu also responded dully.

He looked at the snowflakes dancing in the window and asked with a smile, "Liuhua, is the stamp set functioning properly? How's the preparation for the second skill going?"

"You can't read the Heart Contract yourself!"

"Okay, next, let's try to see if we can catch up with Jiang Xiyue within 6 laps."

“It would be bad if it was delayed until the midterm.”

……

Tire integrity 41%

[Warning: The integrity of the left rear wheel has dropped below 30%, and the integrity of the left front wheel is 36%]

[Please replace the tire as soon as possible, otherwise there will be safety hazards]

Please replace the tire as soon as possible...

Zhou Yun took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the front of the track, turning the steering wheel continuously and twisting it quickly to counteract the slipping of the Jackdaw.

Like a running lame man, he drove the Jackdaw to constantly dodge the skills coming from behind him.

Tire integrity 36%

After a while, he quickly passed the starting grid and ignored the maintenance lane sign on the side.

I have to say that spiritual pressure materials are very durable. The tires from my previous life would probably be scrapped after two laps on this track.

Although I will be going into the game with a lot of debuffs on my shoulders, but...

"It cannot be replaced."

"If we change it now, we will... fail miserably. Little Raccoon King, let's just endure it for a few more rounds."

"Ok!"

While chatting, he crossed the outer edge of the maintenance tunnel.

Ye Qing looked through the gap in the monitor and watched Zhou Yun passing by the track with his eyes wide open.

Ye Qing murmured to himself: "No, don't change the tire?"

"With so many drivers and so many skills behind you, are you looking for death?"

"Your tires are completely worn out! You can't even pick up speed, and if you don't pit, won't it be a wasted lap?"

Zhou Yun seemed to vaguely see Ye Qing's puzzled look and smiled.

People are forced out.

Back then, he was able to win the championship driving a newly repaired car with black smoke billowing out.

Now...

It's just that the situation is a bit complicated.

……

PS: I was completely emotionally broken last night. I was in a state of mind of "whatever happens, just let it be destroyed". My mentality exploded.

It was as if a string suddenly broke.

Sorry.
