This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 240: The Night Before the Competition System Was Revealed (Part )

Zhou Yun put down the crayfish and looked at the statue of Thor, which looked like it was offline, and couldn't help but become curious.

Is this mecha girl really resistant to dizziness?
After a long while, Thor's excitement slowly subsided. She lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and decided to refuse.

Although this opportunity was hard-won, she had little confidence in herself and was afraid of interfering with Zhou Yun's game.

"Zhou Yun, I haven't played a single official match since I came to this world..."

"That's right! As the saying goes, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword. My sister, no driver has ever seen her skills!"

Huaguan interrupted Thor with lightning speed.

"Thor! It's like a duel between two masters, using a sword that has been hidden for ten years! The strike is bound to be a sure kill!"

Thor's face flushed slightly and he quickly raised his hand.

"Sister, you're joking. You're exaggerating about last-minute kills. Zhou Yun, I really don't have any experience in competitions. I'd better practice..."

Hualei waved his hand and grabbed the rebound before Thor made a three-pointer.

"Zhou Yun, have you ever heard of a genius mecha girl? It doesn't matter if I have no experience! My sister can still run without wheels!"

Lei Shen was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said hurriedly, "Zhou Yun, my synchronization rate is improving too slowly. I'm not at an advantage in the competition at all. I still need to train and adapt..."

"Without synchronization, there's no need to worry about being mentally linked! Zhou Yun, this is the advantage of the Thunder God! No driver could have imagined it..."

Hearing this, Thor couldn't help but stand up and slashed Huahuan with a knife.

"That's enough, Garland!"

Too, too much of a boast!
"Anyway, Zhou Yun..."

This time, it was Zhou Yun who stole the rebound from Thor.

"Here, sign the contract quickly. Wait for Old Ye to come back tonight and we'll discuss the modification plan. We'll go to Jiuyuan to customize the print set tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, Zhou Yun handed a contract covered in spicy oil to Lei Shen and brushed off the shrimp shells on it.

After eating lobster all night, I forgot to sign the formal contract...

He was just curious about where the napkin under the lobster bag came from, and then he found out that it was Thor's team contract.

"Old Ye said that the S-League will be approved tomorrow and the competition schedule will be announced. We're running out of time! Hurry! Sign now!"

Don't even think of asking me to print another copy!
It’s so late now, where can I ask Yinling to find another printer?
Thor looked at the contract in front of him and fell into deep hesitation.

Can you do it yourself?
For so many years, no team wanted me, I never played a race, and now I have to play in a B-level race as soon as I appear?
Under the bright lights of the workshop, looking at the team contract and competition agreement, Thor's heart device flickered.

She wanted to refuse, but the words were on the tip of her tongue and she couldn't say them.

What to do? What to do? What to do……

If we lose the game, it's not likely that...will we be kicked out? I'm sure.

Just like before.

"I……"

On the other side, Hua Huan glanced at the contract and frowned slightly.

"Zhou Yun... the contract says we have to share the core data of the united tribes?"

Zhou Yun nodded. "That's right. The structure of the Thor is exactly what our team needs. Besides, the race schedule is tight. Waiting for the running-in data before modifying it will be too slow. So I need the data."

Huahuan snatched the contract from Thor's hand, glanced at the data listed on it, and became thoughtful.

According to this contract...

Lei Shen has gone to Yun Yi Racing Team. Who will help me share the work?

Oh yeah, did you ask for leave to visit the training ground this afternoon?

Thinking of the money that would be deducted next, her face darkened.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"If the tribe disagrees with the core data of the mecha girl, the team won't get it."

"The elders of our tribe are all a bunch of stubborn old men. Talking about architecture, core data, and the like is like touching a sensitive spot."

Garland gave a wry smile.

Although Thor could join the club, she was very happy to be able to stay in this world and play games.

But this contract...

"I don't know where the leader of our 'Human World Action Team' picked up a word called 'patent', saying that the patents of the United Tribes are sacred and inviolable. When we were collaborating with Jiuyuan, she didn't do anything despite facing so many track points..."

Having said that, she took out her cell phone from her pocket.

"I'll give it a try. Don't hold out any hope... Here, it's connected."

"Hello, is this Sister Tangtang? I'm Hualei, and I have great news for you!"

She placed her phone on the table and started dancing around during the video call.

"Our Thor, the Thor that couldn't be sold for ten years, finally, someone wants it!"

"And it's the dark horse team that's been tearing through the crowd lately, leaving no trace behind. It's the Yunyi team! They've become the 'Death Star,' the 'Extraterritorial Evil God,' who has a '100% Dangerous Driving Index,' 'drives like he's drunk on the track,' and 'makes you puke at the mecha girl'!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but complain in his heart.

More than just your sister, I didn’t expect you’re also a rap expert.

"Impressive, right? He even invited Sister Lei Shen to compete in a B-rank match that everyone's watching! Our united tribe is going to make a killing!"

Hualei gestured as she spoke, "They just need a few small conditions."

On the other side of the video, United Honeybee listened to Hualei's rapid-fire words, was stunned for several seconds, and then blurted out a word.

"Oh."

"I'll make some instant noodles tonight. I got two extra sausages for free today. I'm so happy."

Several seconds later.

"Wait, who are you talking about? Who was signed by whom? I just heard something incredible."

Seeing this, Zhou Yun quickly interrupted the conversation.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yun from the Yunyi Racing Team. Nice to meet you..."

After seeing Zhou Yun's face, the other party was incredulous: "Really? Are you really the Zhou Yun from Cainan Province? Are you really ready to sign with Lei Shen?"

"of course."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yun explained the conditions of the team and the core data of the transaction.

"That's right. Since the competition is coming up soon and time is running out, we hope to exchange Thor's deep core data..."

Before he could finish his words, the camera on the opposite side went black.

Zhou Yun and Hua Huan looked at each other in surprise.

That can’t be the case. We just mentioned core data, and it’s already dead?

"..."

Just as he was wondering, the video signal came back.

"Sorry, the internet connection isn't working. We're not selling the core data of our United Tribe! Our United Tribe's technology is as sacred and inviolable as braised beef noodles!"

Then, she calmed down her excited tone and said, "Except for this, everything is fine. Ah, I asked you to cook the instant noodles in a dry pot. Oops, the fire is on fire!"

After saying that, she decisively hung up the phone.

This time it's really over.

Looking at the screen that gradually went dark, Zhou Yun blinked.

Do you know what bargaining is? Why don’t you change the price?

The tone of the calloused response was exactly like what Hualei had said, like someone was being strangled. However, Thor's core data was crucial to many things.

Not only in the next competition, if there is no core data, it would be difficult to develop a shock-resistant drift robot girl.

"Hua Huan, try again and tell her that our Yun Yi Racing Team is willing to renegotiate the agreement and even give up a large number of track points."

Hualei sent a few text messages and shook her head after seeing the replies.

"From now on, my Yunyi Fleet will buy all your instant noodles. How about the Top Ten Truckloads of Braised Beef Noodles?"

Hualei sent a few more messages, and this time the waiting time was a little longer, but it still didn't work.

"What's going on?! This and that aren't allowed. These are just some core parameters, and they don't involve engine or skill details. How stingy!"

Lei Shen whispered, "I heard that before the S game, the United Tribes signed an agreement with a club to share some core data."

"It wasn't long before these technologies were adopted by the underground racing scene and converted into illegal mecha components."

"The modified high-voltage electric pulses used by the troopers, the spiked fortresses used by the underground racers, and so on, were almost all made using the data leaked from the United Tribes back then."

"Underground racing has persecuted so many mecha girls, which makes Sister Tangtang feel guilty, so she won't trade core data or anything like that."

After saying that, Thor raised his head and looked at Zhou Yun, his hands tightly grasping the corners of his clothes.

"Zhou Yun, why don't we just forget it? I'm already very satisfied just running a lap on the track. Let's leave the track work to someone more experienced..."

"No, I reject your proposal."

Zhou Yun stood up with a serious expression.

"Thor, when I was test driving with you just now, I felt the same thing as the Jackdaw."

"You're clearly so eager for a race, so eager that when I'm on the track, besides trying to save my life, I'm filled with uncontrollable passion."

"Why do you have to go against yourself?"

On the long table, Jackdaw, who was duelling with the 'Little Raccoon Knight' with a lobster, raised his head and looked at Thor when he heard this.

"Zhou Yun is right, Thunder God."

"At first, I also felt that competitions and matches were an incomprehensible burden. I could never figure it out."

"But Zhou Yun said, there's no need to figure it out. It's like steamed buns must be served with pickles. If you want to run, just run."

Hearing Jackdaw's encouragement, Thor's breathing quickened.

Yes.

She really wanted to run a race.

"But……"

She knew very well that Zhou Yun chose her because of her drifting running method, but Zhou Yun could also dominate the competition without drifting, right?
Now that she has no core data, it will probably be very troublesome to modify it.

Since time is limited, instead of betting on her, wouldn't it be better for Zhou Yun to hand it over to mecha girls like Jackdaw, Yinling, or Fengying who have experience in cooperative competitions?
She took a deep breath and was about to start her speech with an apology, but she found that she could no longer utter the word "sorry".

I've said too much 'sorry' today.

There are really too many.

"Zhou Yun, I'm going to tell Sister Tangtang right now that if I can get the application tonight, then... let me play."

She stood up and continued, "If you can't, forget it. Xiyue, thank you for the crayfish, it's delicious."

Seeing this, Hualian, who was standing by, also stood up and stretched her muscles.

"Oh, Sister Lei Shen, you're so dumb, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it in a month. Let me go with you!"

Although Huayuan looked heroic, she felt nervous inside.

We couldn’t get through on the phone just now. Can we get through when we get back?

Seeing the two men with heroic expressions ready to sacrifice themselves, Zhou Yun stood in front of them.

"No, I have a big move."

……

Less than half an hour later, United Honeybee appeared in front of the camera again, wearing a black silk maid outfit, with a background of black and gray walls.

"Zhou Yun really didn't expect you to be so familiar with WMC's Rococo High Priest."

"I understand, I know, no need to say more."

"As long as your team can guarantee to me that you will use the core data properly and not use our tribe's materials for illegal activities, I will agree to your team's contract."

Looking at Fengtang's Rococo-colored hair, Zhou Yun felt for the first time that Ji Niang was reliable, so he smiled and said, "I'm the honorary police officer of Jingyun City. Have you forgotten? Catching underground drivers is my duty."

"Oh, yes, you and Puppet PY traded over two hundred pieces..."

Zhou Yun couldn't help but slammed the table: "Rumors, those are just rumors, okay! Do you still want to sign the contract?"

Damn it, puppet, damn it!

"Sign, of course!"

After saying this, Honeybee turned to look at Thor.

"Thor, now that you have a team and a competition, you must run well. Don't worry about the Crucible. Remember, help me keep an eye on the technology of the United Tribes. The application of the United Tribes' technology must be carried out under your supervision. Do you understand?"

Looking at Honey Sugar's serious expression, Thor nodded, and the Heart Vessel began to ripple slightly.

After so many years, I’m finally going to the competition.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the wreath on her right, then at the jackdaw on her left. Seeing the encouraging looks in the two eyes, she changed her usual coldness and smiled knowingly.

"rest assured."

After hearing Thor's affirmative answer, Fengtang turned to look at Zhou Yun and said, "Then let's sign the contract as soon as possible. You decide the time and place. Death Star, I wish you good luck on the track."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yun slumped in his chair and looked up at the lights in the modification workshop.

Everything is done.

Whether it is drifting or moving drift running, there are follow-up answers.

I now have a clearer idea about the cooperation with Jiuyuan.

Next, it depends on the performance on the track.

"We have to race against time..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a voice behind him.

"I'm so tired, I finally made it back. I saw Jiuyuan's production line and there's no problem with cooperation. Hey, what are you eating? It smells so good."

Old Ye threw a stack of print collections on another long table in the workshop, took off his coat, and spoke with a smile.

"I visited Jiuyuan Company and gained a lot of insights. Nowadays, everyone in the industry is just trying to increase traffic, and there are not many companies willing to develop core technologies."

After folding his coat and putting it away, he was in a good mood and started talking a lot. "Their printing factory may not be big, but they have so many processes. I ran around and my legs are shaking. I'm numb."

"I told them to pause for a bit, but they still managed to produce a batch of exclusive Jackdaw stamps and told you to keep them as a backup. Oh, right..."

He sat next to Zhou Yun, hammering his sore legs while asking, "Isn't the next match a B-level match? How's your research going? Do you have any ideas?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yun quickly closed his greasy laptop, turned around, and looked at Lao Ye with a smile.

"Yes, of course."

"Would you mind going to the United Tribes right now, immediately, and sign another contract to get the core data?"

Hearing this, Manager Ye, who was as tired as a dog, suddenly froze in his expression.

What rice?

What happened?
