Chapter 234 I'm fine
Lightyear Project faces a shocking scandal: Zhou Yun's tires were stolen before the race!

[The S-League tournament committee has launched an investigation, and the third stage of the Lightyear Project has been postponed...]

Following the two sets of announcements on the Lightyear Project’s Weibo, the internet completely exploded.

[What? So Zhou Yun's strength wasn't even fully utilized?]

[With just four sets of tires, the Yunyue team managed to secure a podium finish? How much stronger would they be if they were given enough tires?]

Ning Yuan scrolled through the posts, thinking that according to the prevailing online sentiment, now was the time...

[I really want to be contracted by Zhou Yun...]

As expected, the topic went off track.

[Don't worry, sister, did you hear that he seemed to have knocked Jackdaw unconscious? That's why Jackdaw didn't come to the podium.]

[Speaking of which, it seems like every mecha girl that Zhou Yun has piloted has vomited!]

[Just got off the plane. I have a conflict of interest. I have connections within the Light Year Project. Do you know what Zhou Yun is called now for the Light Year Project players and mecha girls?]

[An extraterritorial evil god! I don't know who passed this on, but he's so talented.]

[Now, any mecha girl who sees Zhou Yun will immediately run away from him at a distance of 800 meters...]

[Dude, what's going on with the Lightyear Project? There's not even a single piece of news. Aren't you an insider? Give me some information.]

Sorry, I don’t know.

Ning Yuan sighed.

After the second game, the Lightyear Project officials were like a toad in warm water.

No matter how high the water temperature rises, it won't budge at all.

After editing Zhou Yun's recorded commentary of the second game, Ning Yuan repeatedly looked at the Yun Yi team's Weibo, eating snail noodles out of boredom.

"What's going on? It's fine as long as there's no official news from the Lightyear Project."

"Why hasn't even the Yunyi team made a public statement? This is such a big deal, and the players have filed a complaint. The team should at least make their position clear."

Whether you believe in the official Lightyear Project or question it, the spokesperson has to speak out.

"Why is there no movement at all?"

"..."

If you don’t update, what should I update?
He browsed various websites, searching for signals related to the Lightyear Project and looking for some material to work with.

With the popularity of the Lightyear Project, various self-media from the racing industry also flocked in, and experts from various events also released videos to take advantage of the popularity.

In the video, a petite girl in a women's suit faced the camera, shaking her head and began to analyze.

"Hello, I'm the head coach of the Kunlun team, Sun Chengcheng."

"I also watched the recent hotly discussed game."

"While Zhou Yun's latest 'drift' is very eye-catching, the intricate racing lines and extreme speeds have elevated the visual and artistic quality of the race to a peak."

"But this running style has a fatal weakness. It is well known that Zhou Yun is a 'strong game' player."

"In close combat, Zhou Yun's strength and pressure are extremely fierce. Watching his previous races, no driver could compete with Zhou Yun in close combat for more than three laps."

"I have to say, he made the most of Jackdaw's strengths."

Seeing this, Ning Yuan, who was about to leave, stopped.

He originally thought that this was just a black fan trying to get attention, but he didn't expect that he was actually quite capable.

"However, in recent years, competitions have become increasingly team-oriented, and the mecha girls' skill systems are also developing towards team cooperation. In other words..."

"Through team cooperation, we can outnumber the enemy and avoid gambling."

"To put it bluntly, you're just awesome. I'm not going to play with you anymore. I'm going to use my skills to trick you."

Speaking of this, Sun Chengcheng smiled slightly.

"Although Jackdaw's passive ability to resist the gate can offset some of it, allowing Zhou Yun to continue to have the freedom of 'forced game'."

"In other words—I'm not afraid of using my skills. I just want to play with you. It was possible in the past, but not now."

"Under this 'drifting' running style, the mecha girl is constantly under high-frequency spiritual pressure turbulence."

"At this time, if we have excess skills and concentrate our bombardment, we can directly stun the Jackdaw and force it to drop anchor."

At this, she smiled.

"Oh, I've caught Zhou Yun's weak spot, so..."

"Han Yu! You're going to disappear after losing, right? Listen up! Don't embarrass us Kunlun in the next game!"

Seeing this scene, Ning Yuan felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.

At this moment, his mood was exactly the same as that of other netizens who were following the mecha racing game.

"Lightyear Project! When is the next game?"

"Damn it, who stole Zhou Yun's tire? Don't let me catch you, or I'll... #R%￥&"

"So boring! I've already reached King rank! When will your Lightyear Project start?"

In the Lightyear Project base, many mecha girls seemed to have nothing to do because the content of the competition had not yet been made public.

"Hmph, Feng Ying, stop looking at this Sun Chengcheng."

"Manager Ye has already thought of this. Zhou Yun will find a solution soon. Jackdaw has been getting dizzy on the track every day lately..."

"Feng Ying, look! I'm about to succeed!"

Yinling tapped the handle a few times, then held it high and jumped up excitedly.

"Success!"

"I finally did it! I was shot by an arrow, jumped into a fire with explosives, and then got hit by falling rocks. I finally earned the title of 'I'm so unlucky'!"

"Full achievement! Feng Ying, your milk tea is mine! Humph, how dare you say I can't get it?"

"You lose, your milk tea is mine! The waterless cake is mine too!"

She stood in front of Feng Ying, pointing at all the achievements on the big screen, and puffed out her chest with pride.

Every time after defeating Feng Ying, seeing her broken expression is a great enjoyment in life.

"You didn't expect that! Now you owe me twelve cups of milk tea!"

Feng Ying put down her phone and looked at the achievement icons on the big screen, speechless for a moment.

"Okay, the milk tea is yours."

She stood up, tiptoed, rubbed Yinling's head, and said in a very gentle tone: "Yinling is really strong, the milk tea is all yours."

After saying that, she put on a loose women's suit jacket, picked up the small shoulder bag beside her, and had a faint smile on her face.

"Okay, I have to go to work. Jiuyuan Company's print collection launch is still waiting for me. Hey, being an image ambassador is not easy."

"But after all, I am a member of the Yun Yi team. Now that Yun Yi and Jiu Yuan are about to cooperate, I have to shoulder the responsibility."

"Yinling, be good. When I come back, I'll buy you as much yogurt as you want. Just have fun at home and don't cause any trouble for Zhou Yun."

After saying that, she tidied her hair, then walked to the entrance and checked the business cards and cartoon stickers in her bag. Then she turned around and looked at Yinling with tenderness on her face.

"Yinling, please be obedient."

When she heard the door close, Yinling's face suddenly turned into a cartoon.

"Zhou Yun! I want to work!"

"Am I not also an ambassador? What's my job..."

She angrily threw down the controller and ran towards the Lightyear Project training ground.

"I have to work!"

In the training ground of the Lightyear Project.

Along with the roar of the engine like a thunderstorm, streaks of frost and snow from Winterburg flew across the track.

Thor stood not far from the modification workshop, watching the jackdaws racing around on the track, a fleeting look of envy in his eyes.

"What does it feel like to speed on the track?" Then she closed her eyes, and with the roar of the engine, she couldn't help but recall the few track experiences she had.

"Sorry, Thor is pretty good, but she's too specialized. Although her core is stable, her core skills require an 80% synchronization rate, so it's too slow to activate."

"Sorry, Thor is not compatible with our team and we don't have a suitable driver."

"I know that Thor was specially built to fight against Cold Night Jackdaw, but... Jackdaw is outdated, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry, but I appreciate the sincerity of the united tribes."

"Feel sorry……"

"Feel sorry……"

"Feel sorry……"

These cries of apology gradually isolated her from the track, until the heart of her heart was no longer shaken.

"Sorry, sisters, I don't want to choose anymore. Thank you, please give me some other work."

For some reason, there was a transparent barrier between her and the track. It seemed close, but in reality it was far away, just like now...

She both longed for and feared the next 'sorry'.

So whenever the girl was running on the track, she could only stand outside the track and watch quietly.

As a mecha girl who was "outdated at birth", she didn't know where her future would lead her the year Jackdaw "died".

The wind and snow on the track gradually dissipated.

Looking at the Jackdaw who was vomiting outside the track after folding up the car body, her heart could no longer suppress the shaking.

The jackdaws have returned, so perhaps she can...

Thinking of this, she hurriedly ran towards the outskirts of the training ground.

"Buy a hundred vomit bags first."

Asking Zhou Yun to test drive the car is already a big hassle for him, and we can’t let him even prepare a vomit bag.

On the track, Zhou Yun gently patted Jackdaw's back and asked with a concerned look on his face.

"Jackdaw, are you okay, Jackdaw?"

The newly modified brake system did not solve the problem, but magnified it.

In the drifting state just now, he clearly felt... the Jackdaw felt dizzy with pleasure in less than half a circle.

Hearing Zhou Yun's anxious voice, Jackdaw propped himself up and fell dazed into Zhou Yun's arms, his face slightly flushed.

"Zhou, Zhou Yun, where is this? Are the raccoons being ruled by the pandas?"

"Why are there stars everywhere?"

"By the way, who are you?"

Jackdaw pulled out a bag of Raccoon noodles from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yun: "Would you like some Raccoon instant noodles?"

Looking at the innocent expression on Jackdaw's face, Zhou Yun couldn't help but recall the scene of his first meeting with Jackdaw. After taking the Raccoon instant noodles, he smiled slightly.

"Just faint first."

Jackdaw nodded: "Yeah, okay."

"..."

It seems there is no problem at all!
He came to the workbench in the modification workshop and looked at Manager Ye who was checking data in front of the computer. He couldn't help but touch his nose.

Luckily it was just a joke, otherwise... who would I be responsible for all this work?

"How's the Jackdaw?"

"Don't worry, there's no problem. The telemetry system is operating normally. Just like before, it should recover in no time. I have to say that the jackdaws are becoming more and more tolerant."

Zhou Yun blushed upon hearing this, then asked, "Where's the data?"

Old Ye crossed his arms, looked at the computer screen, and shook his head.

"Braking performance has increased by 34%, which is terrifying, but top speed and skill effectiveness have both dropped by more than half. In half a lap, Jackdaw's core skill nearly stopped him four times."

"Now the spiritual pressure density of the Jackdaw's drifting state has reached the B-level level..."

Manager Ye pulled up another set of data on his laptop: "Based on the B-level competition data Xiyue provided, under the turbulent spiritual pressure environment, Jackdaw would become dizzy in less than half a circle after entering the drift state."

Zhou Yun took the blueprint from the cabinet, spread it on the workbench, and made a cross on a structure on the Jackdaw's chassis near the differential.

"It seems this structure cannot be changed and needs to be crossed out."

Although the body structure of the mecha girl is very similar to the structure of the racing car in the previous life, the interior is completely different, just like Nicholas Zhao Si and Nicholas Cage.

The interior of the mecha is full of "redundant structures" nested within the core structure.

These structures seriously affect the flywheel speed, transmission efficiency, braking efficiency... indirectly affecting aerodynamics, engine horsepower, tire torque, etc.

Although the mecha is very fast, it will be even faster after removing these useless structures.

but……

After looking at the internal data of WMC and combining it with the B-level competition data provided by Xiyue, Zhou Yun was very clear that no structure on the mecha girl was redundant.

This is all to prevent the mecha girl from being knocked unconscious by the spiritual pressure!

"One move affects the entire body. If this part isn't changed, then the structure behind it will have to be added..."

He looked at the drawings and fell into deep thought.

"No, if the effect is the same as before, there's no point in modifying it."

"In that case, let's remove this section of the transmission. This will require redesigning the suspension and the kinetic energy stabilization system."

After a while, Zhou Yun handed the new drawings to Manager Ye.

"Excuse me, Old Ye, please send this blueprint to Jiuyuan Company and make a new stamp set based on this set."

Looking at the new drawings, Old Ye smiled bitterly.

"You really don't feel bad at all for selling someone else's farmland. In four days, they changed the stamp set six times for you, and each time they had to start a new mold..."

"You're doing this now, running tests one after another. Aren't you afraid of squandering all their wealth?"

Zhou Yun shrugged.

There aren't many opportunities to squander money like this!
If I don't lose all at once, I'll be betraying the contract, okay?

"There's nothing we can do. We don't know when the next race will start, and now someone has discovered a weakness in my drift. Wouldn't it be best to fix it before the next race?"

Manager Ye stretched and said with a smile, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If we strengthen the current structure, it will be more than enough to handle the C-level competition. The B-level of the S game will be in a few months. I think we should take it slow."

"Also, the structures of the mechas of different tribes are different. Instead of studying the structure of Lin Ye, it would be better to experiment with the structures of other tribes. Perhaps we can find the answer."

"makes sense."

Zhou Yun sat down and glanced at the jackdaw resting nearby, thinking that the jackdaw had been extremely tired these past few days.

It's a good time for the jackdaw to rest for a while.

But who should I ask to come up?
At this moment, without seeing the person, I asked about his voice.

"Zhou Yun! Zhou Yun! I'm also an ambassador. I want a job!"

Why!
We can’t let Feng Ying be so arrogant anymore!
Yinling rushed into the modification workshop in a hurry.

"Zhou Yun, I..."

She looked at the machine parts scattered on the floor of the workshop, then glanced at the dazed Jackdaw counting stars beside her, then looked at Manager Ye who was standing with his arms crossed and a playful look on his face, and finally her gaze returned to Zhou Yun.

"I, I'm fine."

After saying that, she turned and left.

……

PS: The first update will be tonight, and the next two will be before midnight. I wish you all a happy New Year.

A new year, a new atmosphere. I wish my bad luck will go away completely, and I also wish everyone’s bad luck will go away as well.
