This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 267: The Battle in the Amplification Zone
Just like a stone falling into a deep pool, the water splashed for a moment and then disappeared without a trace.

The rhythm of the game fell into an eerie silence again.

The starting operations of both players were beyond the cognition of many drivers present, causing them to fall into deep thought.

Everyone is playing with their cards openly, what are you doing?
Why don’t I understand?

High in the sky, gusts of wind were blowing.

The two cars, one blue and one white, chased each other and passed the second turn peacefully.

Ning Yuan's voice sounded on the radio.

“The speed of drifting into the corner is fast!”

"The distance between Lei Shen and Jian Xue widened again. Although Jian Xue benefited from Lei Shen's wake, he was still a bit slow when turning..."

As he spoke, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his hand holding the microphone couldn't help shaking.

elder brother!
Brothers on the track!
I'm here with a mission. If you don't do something drastic, how do you expect me to promote the performance of the stamp modification?

How to promote drift flow?
I spent the whole night memorizing the promotional materials!

"Now both sides have passed the second bend and are on the long straight..."

Listening to Ning Yuan's awkward broadcast voice, Bi Chen gently touched Han Yu.

"Han Yu, why do you think Brother Ye would waste such a great opportunity to make a turn and do this?"

Hearing this, Han Yu shifted his gaze from the big screen and looked into the distance.

He looked at the end of the blue sky, and fell into deep thought as he saw two cars chasing each other above the tall buildings.

For high-end drivers, one corner counts as the entire race.

In the second round of the Light Year Project, Zhou Yun demonstrated extreme tire temperature control. So, what did Ye Qing's opening slash mean?

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

"Coach Sun, could you please stop riding on someone's neck and then asking them 'Guess who I am'?"

"Besides, your thermos of orange juice hit me on the head."

Sun Chengcheng grabbed the orange juice liquor and took a big gulp with excitement.

"Can't you doubt Bi Chen? I just sat down..."

Following Han Yu's gaze, Sun Chengcheng glanced at the big screen and immediately understood Han Yu's question.

"Han Yu, look carefully, they are both trying to kill each other's rhythm on the track."

Han Yu blinked.

"Track rhythm?"

"Yes, and your idol won the first corner, but Ye Qing also snatched the bargaining power in the first half of the amplification zone..."

Between the second and third turns of the Hot Wheels, there is a large loop that flies out, like the feather belt of a Bodhisattva.

Seeing the growing distance between Lei Shen and Jian Xue, the drivers of the Lightyear Project understood.

"I see, I got it!"

Bi Chen nodded suddenly, although he didn't understand, but he had to fill the cup!

"As expected of Coach Sun from Kunlun, your words are truly insightful. Listening to your words is better than reading them..."

Sun Chengcheng smiled with great satisfaction.

"Years of experience have taught me that when a driver flatters, they probably don't understand."

"No more talking, Han Yu, pay attention to Ye Qing's detailed operations!"

She tilted Han Yu's head towards the big screen, squinted her eyes and said, "Ye Qing has begun to disrupt Zhou Yun's cornering rhythm."

"Han Yu, if you want to make it to the national competition, write down all the details of Ye Qing's second half of the giant swing."

Han Yu took a deep breath and looked at the arena with a serious look.

Upon hearing this, Bi Chen nodded seriously.

"Indeed, neither side has done anything, but that's all in the details. Taoism advocates governing by inaction..."

Sun Chengcheng couldn't help but hit Bi Chen's head hard.

“Look at the relative positions!”

"Think about it, when Ye Qing was traveling along this route, what did Zhou Yun see in his rearview mirror?"

Hearing Sun Chengcheng's roar, Han Yu muttered to himself.

"I see……"

Inside Thor's car window, the nearby track flashed by on both sides of the window.

In the distance, the vast urban jungle stretches all the way to the end of the horizon. As the horizon slowly tilts along the front hood and the air twists, a halo appears on the edge of the car window.

At this moment, the entire Kyoto seemed to be chasing after him and the Thunder God.

"Great! Really great!"

"Thor, don't you think so? If you're excited, you should just shout it out! Come on, try it yourself."

Thor opened his mouth and roared like a dragon.

"Meow."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After Zhou Yun smiled for a while, he looked at Jian Xue who was hidden in the halo of the city and appeared and disappeared in the rearview mirror, and opened the team channel.

"Feng, I see the drag coefficient has increased a lot. When we turn later..."

In the channel, Feng's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"The wind at high altitude is just gusty. It's okay now. I'll let you know when I need to change the speed gear."

"Thanks, Feng."

After confirming the wind resistance, Zhou Yun glanced at the rearview mirror again and then spoke.

"Old Ye, your cousin is playing psychological tactics with me. When will Jian Xue's slash be ready?"

Soon, Manager Ye's voice came with the wind.

"Jianxue's second skill is activated, 18 seconds left."

Zhou Yun chuckled, put his hands back on the steering wheel, and looked at the slowly rising synchronization rate with an excited tone.

"Thor, get ready, the excitement is coming."

The gusts of wind roared, making streaks of sound on the windshield.

Sharp sword light floated around Jian Xue, cutting the surrounding air into pieces.

The sunlight penetrated the gaps in the Hot Wheels track, casting a mottled shadow on the track. In the constantly tilting skyline through the car window, the lightning in front kept approaching the entrance to Turn 3.

Looking at the ever-decreasing cooldown time of the core skill: [One Sword in the Cold Sky], Jian Xue pursed his lips.

"Old Ye, this kid has a pretty steady mindset. He's just charging at speed. Should we use the double flash to taunt him?"

"Who cares if it's a turtle punch or a meow punch, as long as I can kill the master, that's all that matters!"

Speaking of this, she felt a little helpless.

Although Turn 3 of the Hot Wheels Circuit is faster if you stick to the racing line, the following Turns 4 and 5 are compound turns that are narrow in the front and wide in the back.

Following the optimal line through Turn 3 will severely reduce your speed through Turns 4 and 5.

So Ye Qing and she rubbed against Thor's wake while making the best racing line at Turn 3.

Because she passes the best racing line and when she competes with Zhou Yun at the narrow turn No. 4, she will reach the best position to kill the Thunder God, and her skills can cover 80% of the range.

"Haha, Jianxue, don't be anxious."

Ye Qing's expression was calm. He looked at the tail of the Thunder God in front of him and smiled softly.

He understood his advantages, and Zhou Yun certainly understood them too.

So he was going to take action at Turn 4, forcing Zhou Yun to change his racing line in response and disrupt his mentality.

As long as Zhou Yun's mentality is disturbed, he will have more opportunities to operate.

It is entirely possible to snowball the opportunity, making it bigger and bigger, and taking over the entire growth zone.

But now, Zhou Yun has thrown the contradiction back with practical actions.

"Ye Qing, if you have the guts, just do it at Turn 4. I'm well prepared. Let's see if you dare to come!"

"Ah……"

The wind was howling, and seeing that the Thunder God had already entered the corner first, Jian Xue couldn't help but snort like a cat.

"We're about to enter the corner, Ye Qing, number 4, number 5?"

The towering loop blocked the sunlight and cast a shadow on the approach to the bend.

As yin and yang reversed, Ye Qing's mind flashed through the competitions of the past years.

Although this race has only had two short turns from the start to now, the feeling it gave him was something he had never experienced before.

Serenity. As tranquil as water.

As the bend got closer, the sounds in Ye Qing's ears became quieter.

Bang!
Bang!
He could feel his blood vessels and heartbeat swell with excitement.

A racer's passion, his own career, and the determination to change the world of Nimbus are at stake in this battle...

It was worth more than he thought!
"Haha, it won't be so quiet soon."

On the Hot Wheels track, Ning Yuan watched the calm chase on the track, and his brain also quietly shut down.

"Zhou Yun has already entered Turn 3. The racing line he took is different from the one marked by the computer because Turns 4 and 5 are a compound bend..."

As he spoke, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

That flash of intuition reminded him...the opportunity to explain the drift flow was coming!
"where?"

"Turn 4 or Turn 5?"

In the box in the audience seats, Yuan Kai, the chef and head coach of the Aurora Club, put down his hands from cracking melon seeds and watched the competition on the big screen, his eyes lighting up.

"Finally!"

"Ye Qing is going to take action at Turn 4!"

"Hahaha, these two guys are finally done with testing the waters and are serious about it."

"Oh my god, I thought Ye Qing was going to be like Jiang Wuyang, operating for dozens of rounds..."

The retired driver and old coach of the Sanshan Club in the box also laughed.

"We're all young men in our twenties, how can we run like old men?"

Several other retired drivers and Jiang Wuyang's defeated opponents also joined in the chat.

"That's right, young man, you have to be aggressive! You have to pinch the corners, don't learn from that old bitch Jiang Wuyang."

"Exactly, I'm really impressed by this start..."

The old coach of the Sanshan Club slammed his beer on the table.

"It's good to be able to do it."

"The day before yesterday, Jiang Wuyang raved about drifting to me for so long, even going so far as to brag about the future of the racing industry, haha."

"Come on! Let's see the real power of Drift Flow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others around him also looked at the big screen.

Who will dominate the track in the future?

"Han Yu, it's coming."

Sun Chengcheng lay on Han Yu's head, looking intently at the big screen.

"Even though Ye Qing didn't take the best line into Turn 3, he definitely had to make his move at Turn 4. Now you know why."

Han Yu took a deep breath and nodded.

Through Coach Sun's explanation, he has roughly understood the thinking of Brother Ye and his idol.

Indeed, Brother Ye must take action at this time.

Firstly, he had to stop Zhou Yun as soon as possible before he entered the amplification zone, the sooner the better.

Secondly, if the skill is activated now, the cooling cycle will be beneficial to Ye Qing after entering the amplification zone.

Third, to test Zhou Yun’s mentality, to find out his true strengths and weaknesses, and to prepare for the strategy for the amplification zone.

Ning Yuan's voice kept echoing on the radio.

"Zhou Yun has already taken the lead and is accelerating into a jet state, while Jian Xue's core slash has already cooled down and is ready. The skill's amplification effect has reached 1.8 times the starting value!"

"The slashing attack could happen at any time. If this sword strikes, Zhou Yun will lose approximately 32% to 36% of his rotation speed, and the resulting coherent reaction... Wait!"

"Zhou Yun started to sway the front of the car. He chose to start with inertia drift!"

"Such an obvious starting move is a provocation to Ye Qing! He is provoking Ye Qing!"

"Will Ye Qing take action?"

At the same time, the Dianyun team, Shanyang team and other teams from Cainan Province also became nervous, and many drivers could not help but stand up.

Light wheel, can you cut off the drift flow?
How should the strategy group of the provincial S competition be adjusted?
In the organizer's spectator booth, Lin Qinglei took a step forward, her eyes fixed on the dust on the track.

Is the performance of the print modification about to be unveiled?

"Quick, pay attention to the track data, track stabilization team, continue to monitor the spiritual pressure!"

"Director team, check drones No. 5 and No. 11..."

Listening to the busy voices of the race team members around him, Jiang Wuyang leaned towards the track and started muttering to himself.

"five……"

"Four……"

Zhou Yun slowly adjusted his breathing rhythm, his eyes constantly circulating on the data table of the rearview mirror and the brake system, and he slowly recited in his mind.

"three……"

"two……"

"one."

"Sword Snow, cut."

Ye Qing suddenly changed the gears, outputting the highest speed to Jian Xue's skills in the shortest time.

Jian Xue looked at the Thunder God who was almost two body lengths in front of him, and the engine roared at the top of its lungs.

"I can't stand it any longer!"

The scattered sword lights wandering around her suddenly stopped for a moment, and then suddenly gathered in front of the hood. In the shadow blocked by the big loop, a ball of brilliant sword light suddenly burst out.

The sword light was like a waterfall, slashing towards Thor who had just turned the car back against the gust of wind.

Ye Qing smiled indifferently.

Drifting relies on inertia, and the throttle adjusts the direction.

If the inertia is not transferred properly, the car body cannot be swung back, and the time for inertia transfer is strictly limited by physical rules.

"This is the critical point, Zhou Yun."

The sword light moved forward along the outer lane, and the sharp cold light filled the entire curve, and with the reflection of the track, it illuminated Zhou Yun's helmet.

Hearing the sharp sound of sword beside his ears, Zhou Yun suddenly pulled the handbrake and at the same time reduced the inertia suppression of the kinetic stabilization system to the lowest level.

"I knew you would come here."

As soon as he finished speaking, frost and snow began to drift on Thor's brake pads, completely freezing the tires.

Immediately afterwards, during the inertial drift, the Thunder God drifted sideways for a while again, and then changed the drift direction again in the wind jet, and rushed into Turn 4 close to the sword light.

"Zhou Yun dodged Jian Xue's attack again!"

"Zhou Yun dodged it! This is the power of the printed brake group and the printed kinetic energy stabilization system!"

"It can free your drift from the constraints of inertia! Let Newton's coffin take flight! This is... a brand new drift flow!"

Amid Ning Yuan's excited voice, Ye Qing followed Thor along the fastest racing line and rushed into Turn 5.

"Haha."

Hearing Ye Qing's laughter, Jian Xue was speechless.

"Laugh, you're still laughing?"

"That guy is serious! He probed and found out everything is true! He didn't even try to act!"

"That way, before accelerating to the maximum speed, that kid will definitely run out of the range of the skill!"

"Ye Qing, you..."

Ye Qing interrupted Jian Xue.

"Jianxue, think about it, when have we ever played a game like this?"

"Team brawl, we have to take care of the team. In single combat, we can't find any interesting opponents, and we won't be allowed to meet up with any of the Light Wheels. The competitions are either advertising or exhibition matches..."

Although Ye Qing paused, Jian Xue also understood Ye Qing's heart.

"Yes, it feels good to win against an opponent like this."

"Ye Qing, the foundation of the extreme cooling flow with five turns has been laid. Now activate your exclusive skills."

Ye Qing looked at the cooldown that was half gone in an instant, smiled and nodded.

"Ah."

Although the attack missed, Zhou Yun did drift once more, and the relative distance was still within an acceptable range.

"Jianxue, it depends on the amplification area."
