Actor: Thank you.

Zhang Yuan has always believed that in the process of interacting with others, kindness and hatred will appear at the same time like a pair of twins.

Revenge and gratitude have therefore become eternal topics in human interactions.

Like the two sides of yin and yang, they always span interpersonal relationships.

If you only seek revenge and not repay kindness, others will be afraid of you and stay away from you.

If you only repay favors without seeking revenge, then you will be treated as a soft persimmon by others and be bullied at will, and anyone can come up and step on you.

The balancing skill can even be called an art.

Of course, there are also negative examples, such as...

Ding Hai's revenge stops at a certain point, but Ding Hai's gratitude ends up with his family being destroyed.

Zhang Yuan zipped up his racing suit to hide the scar on his back.

He picked up the racing helmet in his right hand and strode towards the garage.

He put on headphones, put on a helmet, opened the car door, grabbed with one hand the alloy roll cage inside the car that was used to reinforce the body, increase the rigidity of the body and provide safety protection, exerted force, raised his leg, and performed a movement similar to horizontal bar gymnastics, throwing himself into the car.

The technician stepped forward and fastened a special three-point safety belt for him. After tightening it, he patted it hard to make sure the buckle would not pop out and fail.

Ignite and start.

Engage the clutch and shift into gear.

With the sound of gears meshing, Zhang Yuan lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle rushed out of the garage with extraordinary agility.

"Sure enough, it's very different from the modified cars used by the crew."

The most obvious difference is that in order to obtain better shooting effects, the "Initial D" crew made special adjustments for drifting on each car.

From the engine's ignition angle to the steering angle and suspension system settings, everything is designed to achieve the drifting effect.

But the biggest difference between circuit racing and rally racing is the way they run on curves.

There is no better or worse between grip running and drift running, only which one is more suitable.

Just like some people like girlfriends with tall figures, but such women generally have small breasts and hips, but they are indeed pleasing to the eye and photogenic after putting on clothes.

But some people prefer women with more voluptuous figures. Such women may look fat on camera, but they feel better in actual practice.

Zhang Yuan, who is quite experienced in drift running, had a good experience and tried the grip running method in this one-hour practice session.

After the practice session, he returned to the garage and reviewed the data with the technicians.

"Your grades are just in the middle..."

"Ah."

Zhang Yuan nodded calmly.

"Actually, you ran well. If you had practiced in advance yesterday, you would definitely be in the top three." The technician felt a little regretful.

Zhang Yuan smiled and shook his head.

The other party didn't know that he deliberately didn't practice in advance yesterday!

This was all part of his plan.

Then he stared at the computer screen, not only checking the lap time data of the previous practice session, but also comparing the practice results of the two young masters yesterday in his mind.

Qualifying will begin soon.

"I'll broadcast other people's results to you through the headset in a while for your reference." The technician said after he got in the car.

Zhang Yuan made an OK gesture without saying anything more.

Ten cars drove out of the maintenance lane one after another and started to set the fastest lap times in an effort to get a higher starting position.

"Okay, now the 15-minute qualifying match has begun." During the broadcast, the two live commentators started their work.

"Han Han, which of our stars do you think will win in today's men's competition?"

"First of all, from a professional perspective, I am definitely most optimistic about Lin Zhiying." Han Han said with a leisurely smile.

"After all, he is a professional driver with experience in rallying and has competed in Formula Renault."

"It can also be seen from the practice session just now that his lap time is the fastest."

"The next person I am more optimistic about is Mr. Guo Fucheng."

"He also often participates in racing events. I heard that he often drives his modified car to the track in Guangdong Province."

"So in the practice match just now, his result ranked second, not much different from Lin Zhiying."

"Okay, what about the remaining drivers?"

“The remaining positions are roughly on the same level.”

Zhang Yuan greeted Brother Xia yesterday, and Brother Xia warned Han Han again this morning, telling him to be careful with his words.

That's why it's so euphemistic now.

On the same level means they are equally bad.

After all, he is also a professional driver. He can probably tell whether a person has professional or semi-professional skills at a glance.

“But I discovered something.”

"how?"

"Our athlete Zhang Yuan made rapid progress in the practice session, and his running style and line improved in almost every lap."

“Hopefully he can run well.”

“Yes, we also wish all ten drivers the same.”

15 minutes passed quickly and the rankings were revealed one by one.

The top three are Lin Chi-ying, Aaron Kwok, and Chen Long.

Then came Xia Yu, who also had experience as a star racer.

Next up is Zhang Yuan.

And the sixth person behind him is Xiang Zuo!
Chen Kun was at the bottom, with the remaining Lin Yusheng, Jay Chou and Mr. Xie all behind Xiang Zuo.

It seems that yesterday’s small cooking was still useful.

"You didn't run well in the last two turns just now, otherwise you could have improved one or two places." After returning to the garage, the technician said to Zhang Yuan with some regret.

The first half of the last lap was good.

He also specifically reported the results of the drivers before and after him for Zhang Yuan's reference.

Unexpectedly, just after hearing other people's data, Zhang Yuan took a big turn at the next corner.

The technician felt a little guilty, thinking that his words had disturbed the other party.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said a few words of comfort.

It's not the other person's fault.

After all, if I didn't make a mistake, how could I be stuck in front of Xiang Zuo!

After the break, Zhang Yuan got into the car again.

In order, everyone parked their cars on the starting grid.

"Five red lights are on. The men's race of the 2006 Ho Ying Dong Cup Charity Racing Competition is about to begin."

"Now... lights out, start running!"

"Hey, Xia Yu, who was in fourth place, made a mistake at the start!"

"His starting speed was very slow. Does Zhang Yuan behind him have a chance to take advantage of his mistake and overtake at Turn 1?"

"oops!"

"What a pity! I didn't expect Zhang Yuan to be so hasty that he almost ran off the track."

"But he adjusted back quickly and at least did not lose his position, giving the player behind him a chance to move to the left."

……

"Acting is so tiring." At this moment, Zhang Yuan in the car sighed in his heart.

"Teacher Xia Yu is really something. He revealed such a big flaw right from the start."

"If I had run seriously you would have been finished long ago."

Zhang Yuan observed Teacher Xia Yu in front of him through the windshield. At the same time, he kept glancing at the rearview mirror, observing the person behind him and to the left.

The game went on round and round.

Aaron Kwok does often go to the racetrack for fun.

But he was semi-professional at best.

But Lin Zhiying is a professional racing driver.

Even the best semi-professional is nothing compared to the worst professional.

The word "professional" is an insurmountable gap!
Although Uncle Long has participated in many competitions and practiced driving, he can only be considered to have reached the semi-professional level.

This created an awkward situation where the top three, Lin Zhiying, Guo Fucheng and Long Shu, were in the lead but none of them was close to each other.

Every time he passed by the large display screen in the starting area, Zhang Yuan would sneak a peek at the data on it.

So he also discovered this situation.

"This Lin Zhiying really doesn't know how to behave..." he muttered while driving.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely win, and no one is stopping you."

"The two behind him are one of the Four Heavenly Kings and the other is the pinnacle of Chinese actors."

"Why did you create such a big gap?"

"It seems that you are the only one who can drive, right?"

This was why Zhang Yuan would rather do something to let Liu Tao win in the women's race this morning. Because in the men's race, unless there were any accidents, the winner would definitely be Lin Zhiying, who was a professional racing driver.

Even if this person withdraws unexpectedly, there are still Guo Fucheng and Uncle Long behind him.

And these three have one thing in common.

Not from mainland China!
The trouble with this competition is that it is divided into two groups, male and female, after all, there are too many people.

The Hao family is from Hong Kong, but the competition takes place in mainland China.

It would not be a good look if both games were won by mainland players, or if neither game was won by mainland players.

At the end of Zhu Yuanzhang's reign in the early Ming Dynasty, the famous "North and South Lists" incident occurred.

The northern scholars were completely defeated in the imperial examination!

In fact, it is not appropriate to call this case the North-South List Case, because most of the southern provinces gained nothing, and only a few areas with strong clan and scholar-official power dominated the overall situation.

Even in Nanzhili, where the head of government was located, there was only one person on the list.

I won’t go into details about the causes and outcomes of this.

However, this incident produced extremely bad public opinion impact among the officials.

Zhang Yuan is now in such a position that he is easily criticized by his compatriots in the mainland entertainment industry, and is also easily resisted by the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles.

Only by striking a balance can we make this competition more perfect.

After all, the players only have to compete, but Zhang Yuan has a lot to consider...

The gap between the top three is too big, and the two commentators are becoming increasingly boring.

But I saw four, five, six, and three people coming one after another, with a very small gap between them.

He then shifted his attention to the fight between Xia Yu, Zhang Yuan and Xiang Zuo.

"Xia Yu is in the front, and you can see that he has already started very aggressively."

"It seems that Zhang Yuan behind him is putting a lot of pressure on him."

"I think Zhang Yuan is the most uncomfortable. There are wolves in front and tigers behind. He is stuck in the middle and has to be on guard against both ends."

"There are a total of 25 laps in the race, and we have already reached the 21st lap. It depends on whether one of the three of them will emerge as a dark horse and catch up with the group ahead, giving us some surprises."

"Twenty-one laps..." At this time, Zhang Yuan in the car was also counting the laps.

He glanced in the rearview mirror and then smiled.

"The tires and brakes are almost at their limit."

The advantage of a 25-lap race is that there is no need to change tires in the middle of the race.

A set of tires can basically last the entire race.

But the prerequisite is to be able to run freely instead of being in a fight.

In a car race, dogfighting can dramatically accelerate the wear and tear of tires and brakes.

In the previous 21 laps of the race, he deliberately followed behind Xia Yu while keeping a close watch on Xiang Zuo.

He saw two cars right in front of him, but he couldn't overtake them.

Whether at school or at work.

Most people compare themselves to those around them.

Students who pass the exam will not compare their studies with the top three in the grade.

Interns do not compete with department managers in terms of salary.

But students will compare their grades with their deskmates, and interns will compare their income with their colleagues who come to intern at the same time.

Just like Xiang Zuo at this moment, he would not chase Lin Zhiying who was in the first place, but he was always keeping an eye on Zhang Yuan and Xia Yu in front of him.

Especially Zhang Yuan!
Because they have a grudge against each other.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Yuan suffered a great loss when he was on the set of "Huo Yuanjia".

After all, a knife wound that leaves such a long scar is completely incomparable to an external injury that heals in a week or two.

But Xiang Zuo is a second-generation rich man, and the second-generation rich man of the Xiang family.

Even if a nail is broken, their family will feel that they have suffered a great loss!

And what about Xiang Zuo’s personality?

Whether he was learning swordplay or boxing, he would feel that he was invincible right after he got started.

Although he is just a junior student, he always feels that he is gifted and can learn things quickly and master them well.

He is impulsive, simple-minded, and has no sense of strategy... He possesses almost all the negative labels of a second-generation rich person.

This is why Zhang Yuan gave the two young masters special lessons yesterday!
Lin Yusheng is just a matchmaker.

Because giving Xiang Zuo special treatment is too obvious and easily arouses suspicion.

By giving the two young masters special treatment, he can hide his true purpose.

Sure enough, after practicing Xiang Zuo for a whole day yesterday, I felt very strong, just like when I was practicing boxing and swordsmanship!

Coupled with his grudge against Zhang Yuan, he vowed to surpass him on the field.

After being blocked by Zhang Yuan using his skills and positioning for twenty-one rounds, Xiang Zuo's anger value has accumulated to the limit!
Racing is like any other sport. In addition to technology, psychological game is also a very important part.

From the God of Racing Senna to the King of Racing Schumacher, or the world champions and top drivers before and after.

They will all show their determination to die together with any opponent who dares to attack them, at the cost of one or more games in their careers.

This way, in all subsequent races, any driver who wants to fight them again will recall those tragic accidents.

Strikes fear in your opponents and they will instinctively back off in crucial duels.

This will transform the psychological advantage into a physical advantage on the field.

On the contrary, Zhang Yuan established a psychological advantage for Xiang Zuo.

Zhang Yuan did not attend training yesterday.

His qualifying result was only slightly better than mine... that must have been luck.

Moreover, during the race, Zhang Yuan also made a mistake in the first lap when Teacher Xia Yu made a mistake at the start, wasting a good opportunity to overtake.

All of this was seen by Xiang Zuo who was behind him.

“He’s not very good.”

"I would have surpassed it long ago."

"I learned a lot of skills from my coach yesterday."

"Forget about others, I must surpass him!"

On the 22nd lap, turning left was unbearable.

The straight track in the starting area of ​​the Magic City Circuit is more than 1.1 kilometers long.

This length is enough for the car to accelerate to a speed of over 260 kilometers per hour.

Xia Yu took the lead, and all three cars stepped on the accelerator and arrived at the end of the straight.

At the 150-meter sign, Xia Yu released the accelerator and slammed on the brakes at the same time as before.

Accompanied by a squeaking sound, the brake disc was burned into dark red due to the intense friction caused by the instantaneous deceleration.

Zhang Yuan behind him also followed closely, suddenly slowed down and started to turn.

But the situation to the left behind them is completely different!
Not only did he not step on the brakes, but the accelerator was also welded!

He wanted to overtake at the end of the straight by braking late.

He also wanted to pass two people and surpass the two people in front of him in one fell swoop.

This person is the one who is addicted to rookies and has poor skills.

Just like when he was practicing martial arts, even though his level was obviously not that good, he still wanted to come up with some fancy moves, which ultimately only made him a laughing stock.

But racing and martial arts are completely different!

When practicing martial arts, one should know when to stop. No one would really attack a second-generation rich man like him.

Everyone is afraid of being retaliated against by the Xiang family.

But racing cars are not people, they are just machines.

Machines will coldly throw the cruelest facts in front of anyone who does not have awe in their hearts.

The 100-meter sign appeared, and I turned left without releasing my foot on the accelerator.

Because his car had already passed Zhang Yuan who was slowing down.

The 50-meter sign appeared, and he grinned to the left because he had passed Xia Yu, who was ahead of Zhang Yuan.

Then, his smile froze on his face.

squeak……

"Step on the brakes, step on the brakes, step on the brakes quickly!!!" The two people in the commentary room exclaimed at this time.

He turned left and stepped hard on the brake pedal.

The force he stepped on was greater than the force Zhang Yuan used when he stood up and kicked Gao Yuanyuan...

But it's no use anymore.

His brake discs were now worn bright orange!
In the previous twenty laps of fighting, his tires had already been worn out and his grip was not as good as before.

And he started braking so late.

All the spectators saw was a car that passed the track limit on the shoulder like lightning, stirred up dust several meters high and a lot of flying stones in the gravel area, and still maintained a speed of nearly 180 kilometers per hour, and crashed into the tire wall at the edge of the track...
