I'm just an internet cafe owner

And indeed, he paid without hesitation and boarded the plane.

Internet access fees at internet cafes are too expensive for the average person. For a former racing legend, even if he stayed up all night, he would only spend a tenth of the money he won from racing in his youth.

A middle-aged man entered the internet cafe, and Hayato Kazami asked curiously, "Excuse me, senior, can I learn racing skills here?"

Upon hearing this, Kisara couldn't help but retort, "You not only learn racing skills, you also learn how to cheat people."

"Hey?"

Hayato Kazami looked at Kisara curiously, while Liu Yuan explained from the side, "You'll see when you play. If you want to learn how to race, you should definitely ask this senior who came with you for some pointers. To be honest, this..."

This old-timer was a racing legend who could teach you what true speeding was all about on Mount Akina in his AE86.

"The racing legend?"

Hayato Kazami's eyes widened. He was about to participate in a racing competition, but he had no racing skills whatsoever. If he could learn some skills from his seniors... even if he lost, it wouldn't be too embarrassing, right?

Hayato Kazami's head was spinning. He'd only delivered Asurada, but now he'd become its designated pilot. He had no choice but to race in place of the team.

Whether this is a dream or reality, I need to quickly learn racing skills, at least to avoid coming in last place.

However, Kazami Hayato didn't notice that when he heard the words "racing," he unconsciously showed a hint of longing.

"Let's get on the computer!"

Liu Yuan didn't say much and directly arranged for the newcomers to join the team.

After arranging for the two to board, Xin Hai returned to the front desk and whispered to Liu Yuan, "Boss, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's alright, practice slowly. Our store has a pattern: usually, the new recruits after a new game is released are people related to the game's features. They'll guess your identity if they don't know it, and threaten you while doing so. No one will give up their hobby, especially when they hear they can learn or exchange technology across the world; no one will refuse."

Kisara, standing to the side, teased, "Who said there aren't any? A while ago, there was one who just came in, and he ran away before we even had a chance to say anything. But boss, do you know what happened to that guy afterward?"

Liu Yuan shook his head: "Who knows? But I know there was a zombie crisis in his world, so he probably got eaten by zombies, right?"

Liu Yuan had absolutely no interest in his guest's privacy; whether the person had been bitten, stabbed, or beheaded was of no concern to him. However, Liu Yuan guessed that the person had probably turned into a zombie and been killed by Saeko Busujima.

While the receptionist chatted idly, two new guests who had taken their seats also entered the racing game. The moment they entered the game, they were amazed by the realistic gaming experience.

Especially, who did Kazami Hayato see? Asurada was actually in the game? And he even became the race car he was bound to?

On the other side, Bunta Fujiwara felt the same way. Experiencing the realistic world within the game, he suddenly felt glad that he hadn't left in such a hurry. If he had left in a rush, he wouldn't have been able to experience this realistic world.

After the in-game tutorial, both of them knew how to play the game.

However, Hayato Kazami was in a dilemma because the principle of creating a map is that one must be very familiar with the road surface, or have the patience to build the site according to one's own needs.

However, he had no idea what a qualified track was, and he had never run on a real racetrack before, so he had no idea what to do.

Just as he was pondering this, Bunta Fujiwara invited Hayato Kazami to the runway he had just acquired.

"Uncle, where is this...?"

In the game, Fujiwara Bunta took a drag of his cigarette. He had to admit that the game was truly amazing. The cigarette tasted exactly like the real thing, and at the same time, he didn't have to worry about misleading others.

Due to the influence of the Harmony System, people who dislike cigarettes or are under the age of smoking cannot smell or see cigarette smoke.

Taking a breath, Bunta Fujiwara said, "This is Mount Akina."

"Are you a race car driver, sir?"

"That's it!"

Fujiwara Bunta recalled his youth, when he looked forward to sparring with masters from another world, but before the sparring, he needed to get a feel for the game.

Bunta Fujiwara is a racer, which is illegal, but this is a game, and as far as he knows, doing anything here won't affect reality.

He also noticed that the young man's race car was quite cool. He had been eyeing a sports car in real life but couldn't bring himself to buy it. Now that he was in the game, he might as well give it a try.

Chapter 495 Speed ​​on Curves is True Speed

The terrain of Mount Akina restricts the number of cars that can only be driven by two, but that's not a big problem, as Bunta Fujiwara has absolute confidence in his skills.

This newbie's car looks cool, but it's useless. He, Bunta Fujiwara, has beaten many expensive and fast cars on Mount Akina.

A race car like the Asurada is fast, but whether it can even complete the entire Akina Mountain course is another matter entirely.

Especially the multiple consecutive U-shaped bends, these are where the real test of skill lies.

Hayato Kazami didn't think much of it and readily agreed. On Mount Akina, Bunta Fujiwara sat in his Subaru, excitedly touching the steering wheel.

"This car is nice..."

Bunta Fujiwara recently had the idea of ​​buying a new car and wanted to take advantage of the speed to test its performance.

This realistic vehicle feel allowed Bunta Fujiwara to get a feel for the game, and the youthful physical attributes given to him in the game further fueled his desire to compete.

But he wasn't in a hurry. He decided to play a couple of rounds with the young man first, and then find someone to spar with once he was completely familiar with the game.

Hayato Kazami didn't think much of it and simply drove Asurada to the starting line.

"Asurada, is that you?"

"it's me."

The Asurada in the game isn't real, but his in-game experiences accompany Hayato Kazami back to the real world, with the game system transferring some important data to Asurada. For this internet cafe, integrating an auxiliary system into the game is as simple as playing it. And Asurada...

It uses artificial intelligence, so there are no additional charges.

The match has begun.

As a brand-new racing car, Asurada's instantaneous burst speed far surpassed that of Fujiwara Bunta's civilian car. However, Fujiwara Bunta was not in a hurry, because he could tell that the young man in front of him had no racing experience.

Without any racing experience, trying to race against the Akina Mountain racing legend on Mount Akina? You're guaranteed to lose.

Hayato Kazami, driving the Asurada, instantly widened the distance between himself and Bunta Fujiwara, and the impact of the vehicle's acceleration made his blood boil.

This real feeling thrilled him, and seeing his starting speed of over 200, he felt certain of winning.

On the straight road ahead, he couldn't even see Bunta Fujiwara. It wasn't until several sharp turns appeared before him that, on Asurada's advice, he slowed down.

Racing cars are usually competed on professional tracks, which are full of sharp turns but not this many. To run so many sharp turns without slowing down would only result in a disastrous crash and death. But then, something strange happened that both Hayato Kazami and Asurada found bizarre.

They heard the sound of a car engine behind them, and glancing at the rearview mirror out of the corner of their eye, Hayato Kazami was startled.

"What is this uncle doing?"

Slowing down when turning is common sense, even though he never said he wouldn't slow down at all when turning. But then he saw a shocking scene: Fujiwara Bunta's car drifted through the corner without slowing down at all.

The race was over, but Kazami Hayato's car lost speed, flew off the road, and crashed into a tree. Now, Kazami Hayato's mind is filled with the insane reminder: "There are countless roads, but safety is the first priority. Reckless driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes."

That's right, it's not suitable for all ages. In racing and street racing, any accidents will be flagged by the system. The party involved in the accident will be declared the loser.

Inside a small hut in the game, Hayato Kazami felt his rapidly beating heart. He saw Bunta Fujiwara driving a civilian car, overtaking him without slowing down at all on a bend.

After overtaking on the curve, even with Asurada's superior performance, Kazami Hayato was unable to pass. Fujiwara Bunta was too tightly positioned; even with the turbocharger's small fan activated, he couldn't overtake him.

Ultimately, due to a combination of factors, including Hayato Kazami's unfamiliarity with vehicle control and road conditions, he crashed into the road and went black.

"Want another round?"

"want!"

Hayato Kazami was completely caught up in the moment. He admitted that his heart raced and he was filled with excitement the instant he entered the corner. He wanted to learn the cornering techniques from his senior, not to win the race, but simply to give it a try.

Fujiwara Bunta had no intention of keeping it to himself. After trying such an amazing game, he knew that his own skills were insignificant. Anyone could learn it once they understood the principles.

Besides, hoarding things is boring. He also wanted to see if anyone could beat him at the foot of Mount Akina. Originally, he was hoping for his son to do so, but now, an internet cafe connecting different worlds had ignited his fighting spirit.

It's not that Fujiwara Fumi is exaggerating; if given a good enough car, he could win a championship even on a racetrack.

So the veteran and the newbie embarked on a high-speed racing journey. Unlike in reality, where such racing would absolutely result in a fatal crash, in the game, they could try countless times until they mastered the technique.

Hayato Kazami has good talent; he learned how to drift in just one day, but he hasn't yet mastered Bunta Fujiwara's gutter cornering technique.

At first, he was able to create some distance by utilizing the superior performance of the Asurada. But when Fujiwara Bunta switched to a race car and watched his opponent take the corner at 300 km/h without slowing down, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Young man, remember this: speed on curves is true speed. Anyone can accelerate on a straightaway!"

These words were like a wake-up call for Hayato Kazami. In that instant, he understood what he needed to do in the upcoming race. Yes! Anyone can accelerate in a straight line. This is all about performance; fast is fast, and slow is slow.

But being fast on curves is what truly matters!

Seeing that the young man in front of him had understood, Fujiwara Bunta took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I've taken a look, and quite a few people are using large maps for the competition. Would you like to join in and give it a try?"

In multiplayer races, there are speed limits. Different hosts and different maps have different speed limits. You can't have someone using a small QQ car while you're using a sports car; there's no point in comparing.

However, the room that Fujiwara Bunta and Kazami Hayato arrived at only had a top speed limit, not a minimum speed limit. Anyone with a top speed of no more than 250 km/h on a flat surface could participate. Kazami Hayato's car was a bit special; although its top speed could reach over 300 km/h, the Asurada's restrictions limited its top speed to 250 km/h, which definitely met the standard.

Upon entering the arena, Kazami Hayato was somewhat excited. However, Fujiwara Bunta's expression was rather serious.

"What's wrong, uncle? Are these people... really strong?"

Fujiwara Bunta nodded: "They're very strong. I'm not confident I can beat them either. Kazami, experience their true strength!"

Besides these two, the other participants in this race included Revy, Daigo, and Janetia. Daigo drove a sports car from the Victory team, Revy drove an SUV, and Janetia was a bit special; she drove...

It's the Wuling Hongguang. Add to that Bunta Fujiwara's Subaru, and this will be a terrifying contest.

Chapter 496 Enjoying a delicious meal while driving

There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your reach. In racing, there's no such thing as being number one forever. Especially in the world of games, being number one? Winning? It's not actually that important.

Hayato Kazami's race wasn't anything to watch; having mastered overtaking on curves, it was just a small race, and he was already winning easily. After all, he'd already been thoroughly beaten by other players in the game.

Leaving aside the Akina Mountain racing god, let's talk about Daigo, a TPC team member. He looked at a car with an extremely high speed limit, locked his car at 210 km/h, and crashed all the way. By the end of the race, the wheels were flying off, but the car just didn't fall apart.

And then there's Revy, that woman drives even more recklessly, only taking mountain roads and grasslands, absolutely never on the main road. In fact, if you overtake her, the other driver will pull out a gun and shoot.

Unfortunately, they were playing a racing game; the guns could fire, but they couldn't kill anyone. After all, this was a racing game, and unless you drove a tank or armored vehicle into a factory, you couldn't fire it.

However, nobody drives this thing. It's too slow. If you miss a shot, the person is gone.

Besides, people who play this game either enjoy the thrill of racing, the fun of sabotaging each other, or simply drive around in their cars, enjoying the scenery along the way when they encounter friends from internet cafes.

Unlike traveling in real life, in the game, players can use the car's autopilot if they get tired, and no traffic police will stop them no matter what they do inside. The only slightly troublesome thing is the alert that pops up if an accident occurs.

Besides, people who come to internet cafes to play games are already adults. Adults know what they should and shouldn't do in real life.

Hayato Kazami enjoys the pleasure of speeding through the streets and enjoying the scenery along the way after finishing the race.

"Asurada, this feeling is really wonderful."

After experiencing racing, Hayato Kazami fell in love with the sport. The physical thrill of reaching the pinnacle of speed made his heart race uncontrollably, and even now, thinking back on it still gets his blood pumping.

The vehicles drove through the city streets, and although there were no pedestrians, the feeling was captivating.

However, as the vehicle was moving, Hayato Kazami saw a bunch of strange and unusual cars parked ahead.
