This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 121 Snow Summit Battle
"boom!"

A sound like thunder rang out on the track.

The frost and snow were rolled away from gravity by the high speed of the tires, and then rolled to Qingjue's side under the pressure of the air.

Under the pull of the turbulent airflow, the airflow in front of the crow was constantly blown back, and the frost and snow shaped by the spiritual pressure flickered.

Then the frost and snow were reignited, and the cries of jackdaws echoed all around amid the roar of the engines.

Amid the howling wind, Tan Tonglu knew that this time the air extraction strategy had failed again.

It was obvious that Zhou Yun knew what he was going to do!
Every time he turned a corner, he would pull Jackdaw's front end in advance, not giving him any chance.

Tan Tonglu's hands began to tremble constantly, and a heart-piercing pain was transmitted to Qingjue through the mental connection.

Qing Jue couldn't help but say, "If you really can't hold on any longer, stop it! You're shaking like a sieve..."

"Qingjue, I'm not in pain, I'm excited!"

"Zhou Yun is even stronger than the last time we fought!"

The silhouette of the jackdaw in the rearview mirror was looming among the drifting snowflakes.

As a player who had fought hand-to-hand combat with Zhou Yun many times, he knew too well this extremely familiar feeling of terrifying oppression.

The opponent is like a tireless racing machine. If you handle any detail improperly, you will be met with a steady, accurate and fierce blow.

The longer the time, the more ferocious the opponent becomes!

After another extreme game of two bends, Tan Tonglu took a few deep breaths.

Sweat stuck to the gauze, his forehead was wet, and flames flashed in his eyes.

In front of him is the door god who is as steady as a rock, and behind him is the soul-catcher who is taking his life. What could make him more excited than this?

"This time, we won't make the same mistake again!"

The maintenance station on the ridge was looming in the wind and snow. Three racing cars quickly crossed the frosty road and charged towards the second maintenance station for a decisive victory.

"The Cainan Provincial Meteorological Bureau just sent a message saying they've used a 'rain cannon' to intercept the clouds heading towards Bashu!"

Commentator Li Hao said with a smile: "This is great news for spring plowing, but it has a huge impact on the drivers."

"It started to hail at the summit! The drop in temperature caused imbalances in tire pressure, which had a dramatic impact on the riders' speed."

“The rankings are likely to change in the final stretch!”

"The fierce battle is about to begin!"

Ice blocks kept falling from the top of the peak with the strong wind, hitting the crows and making crackling sounds.

The tire pressure kept decreasing due to the low temperature, and Jackdaw felt that the tire was like a glutinous rice dumpling, soft and floppy.

The synchronization rate kept jumping around the cliff line at 60%. It seemed that the low pressure had caused the Jackdaw to be in a low state.

"boom!"

At the bend, frost and snow mixed with hail exploded beside Qingjue, scattering like iron flowers.

The jackdaw took advantage of the wind and rushed to Qingjue's side. She was bathed in frost and snow, and cheered excitedly.

"Zhou Yun! It's so cold, the smell of home!"

After taking the lead in occupying the center of the bend, the synchronization rate instantly crossed the cliff line and reached 64%.

But then it quickly fell another 61%.

Jade grew on the rear wheel of Jackdaw, and Qingjue brake slowed down Jackdaw's speed. The center of the curve that had just been taken was taken back by Tan Tonglu.

"ah!"

Feeling the surging emotions coming from the Heart Vessel, Zhou Yun was also overwhelmed at this time and said with a smile.

"Don't be impatient. As the military manual says, attacking the city is inferior to attacking the heart."

Desire is the weakness of human nature. The driver's desire is simply to win.

"So profound... I get it!"

Jackdaw nodded and said in agreement, "Uncle Pancake is right! It's not good to hit Orange, it's better to hit the Heart Vessel!"

"..."

In a sense, Jackdaw's summary is correct.

The 195km flag fluttered in the wind as three cars entered the hairpin bend section at the same time.

In this bend, the three cars will climb 270 meters in altitude and enter the final section of the road to the summit.

"Three cars entered the curve together! It seems that the hail did not affect their speed! Jiang Xiyue, driving Lingyu, also caught up and is now in fourth place."

"The battle is getting more intense. Caihua No. 1 Tan Tonglu is under increasing pressure. He is losing control of the apex!"

"Liu Yu's speed is also starting to slow down! The ranking will change soon!"

Commentator Li Hao's voice grew excited: "I wonder what the situation will be like when we enter the second pit stop?"

After passing the hairpin bend, Tan Tonglu's hands began to tremble even more violently.

It’s usually painful, and the other half is exciting.

Zhou Yun's attack began to surge and become chaotic, sometimes like a lion showing its fangs, sometimes like a cunning hunter.

Beneath the turbulent undercurrent, there is a giant dragon ready to strangle him at any time.

"Are you still using this trick?"

Under low temperatures, the efficiency of the tires drops rapidly. Low tire pressure causes rapid wear of the grip, and Qingjue's car body begins to sway.

Liu Yu, the car in front, was also driving at the same speed, and they all slowed down.

In the section where everyone is decelerating, the effect of this deceleration will be even greater.

At this time, the advantages of drifting are reflected.

It can not only cope with low-grip tracks, but also maintain speed during high-speed cornering.

Coupled with the effect of the Jackdaw's passive engine overload, the Jackdaw's speed was getting faster and faster, and Tan Tonglu felt that he was increasingly unable to withstand the racing line.

There are more and more loopholes.

"Can't you hold it anymore?"

Zhou Yun gripped the joystick tightly. As the synchronization rate increased rapidly, the emotions conveyed by the jackdaw became more and more turbulent.

The heart device in the body began to become restless, and the synchronization rate soared to 68%.

"Come on!"

"It's now!"

The moment Tan Tonglu turned out of the corner, there was a momentary gap, and bits of starlight surged on the body of the Jackdaw car, and then turned into a violent torrent.

As the snow melted into water, the speed reached its peak, and the jackdaw rushed into the gap like a meteor.

Emerald green bluestone grew on the rear wheels of the Jackdaw, and Zhou Yun laughed.

"late!"

"That's what we've been waiting for! Qingjue!"

Tan Tonglu quickly downshifted and added gas, and Qingjue instantly rushed a short distance to the side of Jackdaw, followed by a violent air explosion.

The air in the Jackdaw's air intake was suddenly sucked out, and the torrent was instantly extinguished. The frost and snow forged by the spiritual pressure around the body flashed for a moment and then disappeared in an instant.

In an instant, the car speed dropped drastically. Zhou Yun straightened the front of the Jackdaw car. The body of the Qingjue car in front of him swayed for a moment, and then left under the effect of [Swift Wind Escape].

"Soldiers who, deception also."

Tan Tonglu laughed heartily.

The way to fight a dragon is never to hold on and be patient, as that will strangle you to death.

The best way is always to take the initiative to attack!
"You didn't expect this trick of mine!"

Long before the four turns, he slowed down little by little, creating the illusion that Qingjue's speed was declining due to the low temperature.

In fact, he had been stuck in gear and maintaining a high speed, just waiting for this moment!
You misjudged it, right? Forget about the frost and snow special effects of the Jackdaw!
"Cool!"

A drift driver once taught him on the track that a competition of driving skills can only bring temporary speed, while a competition of mentality can bring long-term speed.

In racing, it’s still a competition between people in the end.

The most dangerous thing about Zhou Yun is his superb "mental barrier technique".

"Driving skills are just a means to an end; conquering the heart is the goal. I've really learned that!"

With the help of the jet stream, Tan Tonglu quickly caught up with Liu Yu and rushed into the last 2 kilometers of the road. "How much did they steal?"

Zhou Yun blinked, instantly figured out what was going on, and couldn't help laughing.

I didn’t expect that the one who was showing off his skills would be defeated by the other!
After so many years of performing magic, I was fooled by it!
"Amazing!"

My heart was pounding as my opponent moved up one level to the next.

At this moment, his fighting spirit began to beat violently, blood rushed into his brain, and adrenaline began to surge between his neurons.

"Huh...it hurts so much."

After [Frost Walk in the Cold Night] entered a 5-second cooldown, Jackdaw's altitude sickness became more severe.

Her face flushed, and she gasped for breath as she felt the air intake decrease.

Feeling the anger and unwillingness coming from the Heart Vessel, Zhou Yun's eyes became sharp.

Underlying these emotions is a fierce fighting spirit.

"Jackdaw, let's charge!"

The strong fighting spirit of the man and the mecha girl began to resonate, and the synchronization rate instantly exceeded 69%, and madly bombarded towards 70%.

The 5-second countdown ended and the engine roared wildly!
The moment he broke through 70%, Zhou Yun felt as if he had merged into one with the jackdaw.

"rush!"

Commentator Li Hao quickly said, "The last kilometer!"

"Tan Tonglu surpassed Liu Yu and now ranks first! After experiencing the first round of the S game, this young player has begun his rapid growth."

"He successfully overpowered the Dark Star player and drained Jackdaw's air intake! He forced Jackdaw's passive into a 5-second countdown."

"This kind of driving skill, like drifting, is a first for the S-League! I guess after this race, there will be another player in the S-League Hall of Fame!"

"Three Hall of Fame drivers in one city! Who dares to look down on our Jingyun drivers?"

"I imagine Zhou Yun and Jackdaw must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. Approaching the second maintenance station, and passively being pulled out, it's going to be difficult for him to improve his ranking..."

"Wait! The Jackdaw is starting to speed up!"

With the man and the car becoming one, Zhou Yun's speed became faster and faster.

After passing the 70% critical line, he suddenly realized that he didn't need to talk to the jackdaw, nor did he need to bend the joystick or steer.

Wherever the thought goes, the jackdaw can respond quickly!
He only needs to hold the gear tightly, and the Jackdaw will float up quickly and then complete the jet.

Liu Yu drove the mecha girl Lingguang Dujiao to block lanes continuously, but was soon overtaken by the crow.

He sighed as he watched the jackdaws galloping along, carrying the rapids beside him.

"It's crazy!"

"This is a mountain ridge, and it's hailstorming! With such a reckless charge, the probability of losing control is 27%!"

Lin Guang Dujiao agreed and said, "The probability of losing control should be 32%!"

"Let's keep up. The real battle is at the cliffs on the mountain peaks. Don't get too far away."

Slowly, Zhou Yun drove the Jackdaw closer to Qingjue again, and this time his desire to attack was even stronger.

After passing the last turn before the second pit stop, the road became wider.

The Jackdaw used the jet to rush to Qingjue's side, and the front of the car passed over Qingjue's rear wheels, constantly disrupting Qingjue's aerodynamics.

Slowly, launch the final charge towards the maintenance station.

With the help of the Jackdaw's wake, Liu Yu drove the Unicorn and caught up, and the front of the car slowly passed the Jackdaw's rear wheels.

"Qingjue! Let's move over there!"

"Jackdaw, pay attention."

Qingjue and Jackdaw were stuck together tightly, just like in the previous race, snowflakes and hail flowed in the gaps between the two cars, constantly hitting the sides of the two cars.

The air bubbles wrapped around the two cars were at the extreme distance of being about to merge, and they could be sucked together and overturned at any time.

While they were shutting down each other's aerodynamics, Liu Yu's car also caught up.

"Three cars rushed into the second checkpoint side by side! The rankings were so difficult to determine! The race team didn't know what to do!"

"Now the three of us are tied for first place, let's take a break and wait for the start!"

“After the commercial, it’s even more exciting!”

Inside the maintenance station, the masters hired from other places were already ready. As soon as Jackdaw rushed into the station, he began to operate quickly.

"Change the tires to snow tires, increase the tire pressure, change the brake system, and turn on the Jackdaw Reiatsu preheater!"

"I'll also replace the suspension, and then I'll adjust the damping myself."

"Where's the raccoon? Quickly replenish the Jackdaw!"

After quickly giving the order, Zhou Yun grabbed a handful of tissues, jumped out of the car at the speed of light, and ran towards the toilet.

I've been holding it in for almost half an hour!
He really couldn't help it!
The toilets at the maintenance station are built outside. They are a row of simple mobile toilets, with one square meter of privacy separated by one millimeter of plastic.

Although the isolation is good, some sound still leaks in.

There were sporadic noises coming from next door. Zhou Yun couldn't help but complain, "Tan Tonglu, what are you doing? Why are you humming?"

After a while, Liu Yu's voice came from next door.

"I think... the probability that Tan Tonglu is the coach is 76%. Racing drivers should try to avoid testosterone reduction and hormonal disorders..."

Tan Tonglu said angrily, "Get lost! It hurts!"

Suddenly, the restroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. After a while, Tan Tonglu asked, "Zhou Yun, do you want to make a bet?"

"what?"

"It's still those few talents. Whoever can reach the top of Baoyun Peak first will get those talents."

"Okay, no problem..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Yu interrupted him: "Then I think neither of you can get the seal, because my probability of reaching the top is 76%."

"After activating the third skill, Qing Jue's disadvantage is obvious. Zhou Yun's drifting running style is very easy to counter. My running style can be used to its full potential on the snow on the mountaintop, so I have a high probability of winning."

Hearing this, Tan Tonglu laughed immediately.

"Then give it a try!"

Soon, the girls were ready to finish and the competition team gave the signal.

The three mechas, in brand new condition, drove side by side to the exit of the maintenance station.

After passing a slowdown section, with the engines roaring, the three mechas began to speed through the wind and snow.

"Your power is beyond your imagination! Blue Sheep sincerely invites you to watch the S-class World Mecha Girl Racing Competition!"

Commentator Lin Yi said with a smile, "We're back! We're back! 10 minutes of commercials, I'm sure everyone can't wait."

"There's nothing we can do. This is the TV station's arrangement."

Li Hao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, then looked at the guide's camera and began to explain at a rapid speed.

"After the three cars set off, the rankings were quickly determined. Liu Yu and Tan Tonglu both went to block Zhou Yun's lane."

"Unfortunately, it wasn't blocked. Zhou Yun, driving the Jackdaw, was the first to rush into the center of the bend!"

"Congratulations to Death Star. After 800 miles of snowy and windy roads, he's finally in the lead, but the cars behind him are chasing very closely!"

"Liu Yu's cornering speed is very fast, and he is currently tied for second place with Tan Tonglu!"

"Jiang Xiyue behind him rushed up and ranked fourth, followed closely by Zhao Wen! He passed Lao Chiyue and rushed out of the maintenance station!"

The camera circled around the contestants and returned to the top three.

"The top three have now entered the cliff area! Unleash your third skill!"

"Liu Yu passed Tan Tonglu and began to close in on Zhou Yun. The match became increasingly difficult to determine..."

Commentator Li Hao's tone was quite excited: "I wonder who will be the first to reach the summit and get the crucial 8 points reward and the additional talent engraving reward?"

Snow mixed with hail continued to fall from the top of the mountain, hitting the crows and making crackling sounds.

The tires skidded past the edge of the cliff, Jackdaw's heart was pounding, and his synchronization rate was jumping rapidly.

72%, 69%, 66%, 73%...
