This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 164 C-level competition

Noon has arrived.

The Leihuo Racing Circuit was bustling with people.

There is never a shortage of spectators at car races in this world.

Ning Yuan sat in the commentary seat, holding a cup of Coke in his left hand and the driver's information in his right hand.

He glanced at the teams undergoing race inspection, then at the packed auditorium, his heart pounding like it was about to jump out of his chest.

I never thought that one day he would be able to actually commentate on a game!
"Pretty!"

The puppet patted Ning Yuan's shoulder and said, "Thanks to my wisdom and bravery, I have a keen eye for talent. Hehe, I have long seen your potential. This game is now handed over to you!"

Ning Yuan glanced at the puppet and was speechless.

This guy only realized he forgot to hire a commentator when the game was about to start!

If I hadn't volunteered, I'd probably still be writing a 2,000-word self-criticism in WMC... Isn't that just a job?

As for?
"Cough cough."

Ning Yuan turned his attention back to the operating table. Having had several experience in giving explanations, he was very familiar with the operations there.

Move the driver data of each team to the side of the screen, connect the ranking system, and start warming up.

"Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast of this race. I'm commentator Ning Yuan. This is a race jointly organized by WMC and various teams..."

"The goal is to compete for the 12 top-tier Mecha Girls saved by the Dark Star. The team standing on the podium will have priority in purchasing..."

"Compared to the team announced yesterday, there's one more team member today..."

Looking at the comments flooding the live broadcast room, he first smiled, then sighed and said, "I'm sorry, it's not what everyone thinks."

"The Yunyi team did not participate in this race. The new team that joined is the Hunter team from Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"If you've been watching the S-League B-level events for years, you're probably familiar with this name. Yes, that's right, it's the team that attacked the Aurora Club across provinces!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the audience seats was a little strange, and in the live broadcast room, the audience in Jingyun City all felt lost.

"..."

Looking at the barrage of comments floating through the live broadcast room, Ning Yuan sighed.

Recently, all the teams in Jingyun City were beaten badly by the monsters in the provincial capital. Except for the Yunyi team and the Xinchiyue team, all the others were kicked out.

Xin Chiyue's main force, Tan Tonglu, has left and cannot be used for the time being, and Zhou Yun is avoiding the battle again...

This game is played at Jingyun City’s home stadium!

If Jingyun City loses the home game, will the fans of the Jingyun City team be able to hold their heads up high in the future?
Ning Yuan understood the audience's emotions and felt helpless, but for the effect of the game, he quickly warmed up the audience.

"I understand that the recent actions of the Dianyun team to challenge the club have cast a shadow on everyone's hearts."

"But look, what is this?"

Dozens of photos of the Dianyun team being splashed with paint appeared in the live broadcast room.

Among them, the photo of their manager with a black face and the photo of the driver with the spark plug pulled out are particularly eye-catching.

"Thank you to the unknown person for your loving contribution. Don't look at the Dianyun team's arrogance..."

Ning Yuan felt relieved all of a sudden. Let you guys go crazy?
What are you talking about, you want to step on our Jingyun City?
Are you still crazy now?

On the other side, Liu Lingling, who was busy preparing the Dianyun team, glanced at the big screen next to the audience seats.

"Remember, don't set the G-suit's value too low, otherwise when your speed reaches 380 km/h... damn!"

She suddenly looked at the photo on the big screen and her face turned green.

I had thought that what happened this morning was over. The Dianyun convoy withdrew early, and the media was blocked, so nothing would happen. But...

Depend on!
What's going on with you Jingyun?

I don't want to come to this place again in my next life!

"Quick, check the configuration of the anti-G suit again, and check the configuration of the mecha girl again!"

"In this race, our Dianyun team must outsmart these Jingyun bastards!"

She knew in her heart that if they didn't win this race by a huge margin, the Dianyun team would probably be laughed at like clowns when they returned to the provincial capital.

You have to win by hooping.

On the other side, Leng Xingyun was so angry that his liver was trembling. He tightened the buttons of his racing suit and whispered to Lieyan Xianchen beside him: "In the first lap, we will blow them up."

Then he looked at the big screen and found that the director's camera was aimed at him.

So he stood in the open space of the maintenance room and raised his middle finger in the direction of the Jingyun City convoy.

"I will definitely put you in a circle later, no, three times."

It must be one more round than Zhou Yun.

……

"Should the value be set to 1.22 or 1.45?"

Liu Yu held the helmet and looked at the unfolded horn, hesitating in his heart.

Just one step, one step!
His new running method and new system can be successfully tested!
Fortunately, the team had a lot of money recently, so he bought a lot of custom parts and created a new structure overnight.

But the problem was the lack of experiments, and he was unable to determine several values.

Unicorn thought for a moment and said, "If we go by the synchronization rate between spiritual pressure and spiritual energy, it's 1.22. The engine can sustain the burst of speed instantly."

Liu Yu shook his head: "But according to our matching degree, it is 1.45."

"If it's 1.45, we can effectively burst out in the early and mid-game..."

Seeing that Liu Yu was still undecided, Dujiao said, "If the value is wrong, the engine may not be able to hold up... You can judge for yourself."

"Then be conservative..."

While thinking, Liu Yu noticed the provocative declaration on the big screen and smiled.

"Let's calculate it based on the same degree."

"Dianyun Team, I'm sorry."

Separated from Feijing by the Chongguang convoy is the Hunter convoy.

Fearful Eye Feihuo sat on the command platform, watching the busy figures at the maintenance station, and the fire in his heart burned.

"Damn it, why won't you let me play?"

"You had your fun this morning, so it's time for us to have ours!"

"That's right, that's right, just wait and see how we defeat the other teams!"

"By the way...Is Yinling really not from our tribe? She can even electrocute herself!"

"She is indeed from the Moonlight Tribe. Yeah, it's been confirmed, confirmed seven or eight times... Yeah, the tournament team gave her the flag."

"Come on, sisters, let's go out and warm up the tires!"

Then, one after another, the drivers took off their tire warming blankets, ran out of the maintenance channel, and ran around in circles along the track of the Leihuo Racing Circuit.

Suddenly, white light popped up on both sides of the track.

……

"Zhou Yun, look, this is the dedicated track for the C-level competition." In the VIP audience seats, Manager Ye pointed to the particle streams on both sides of the track and said, "That's the spiritual pressure leakage collection device."

"It's specifically designed to counter the C-level module's mecha girl skills. With it, the mecha girl's skills won't destroy the track."

Zhou Yun looked at the two circles of particle beams and nodded.

"And this time, we've added experimental protection devices to the track, just like the ones you used on the cliff section in the second race, to prevent the mecha from flying off."

Manager Ye turned to look at Pan An and Guang Yu, then continued speaking.

"You've all experienced the C-class engine. It's completely different from the D-class explosive module."

Pan An nodded and said with a smile: "This is my first time using Guangyu's C-level module. It's so fast that my hands are almost shaking."

"It's not just about speed..." Manager Ye said, pointing to some data on the telemetry system.

"With the C-class modification, the engine output is greater, the skills are more powerful, and you can mount eight talent engravings. You can directly experience the power of the system..."

Zhou Yun picked up a bottle of Blue Sheep and understood.

The average speed of drivers with the D-level modification module is around 280 km/h, with a peak of 360 km/h. This speed is close to the limit of human beings.

The average speed of the C-class modified module is 360 kilometers per hour, and the peak speed can reach around 420 kilometers per hour. This speed... is already at the limit of human control.

The drivers' average cornering speed is about 1.8 times that of Class D competition.

On top of this speed, there's also the complex unleashing of mecha-girl skills, requiring precise calculations for every single move...

He put down the blue sheep in his hand and stared at the game screen intently.

On the track, the girls were like streaks of light, quickly cutting through the field, and his heart was in turmoil for a moment.

With the Hunter Association around, Feng's modification of the kinetic stabilization system should be basically done.

But how should we match the talents after the 'Drift' running method?

He still has no idea in his mind.

Perhaps, this game can give him a surprise.

On the track, the noise of the engine gradually subsided.

Drivers from various teams parked their cars on the starting grid, waiting for the race to begin.

Ning Yuan's voice echoed throughout the audience through the PA system.

"The teams from the provincial capital are already in position. Dear spectators, what's coming up is exciting... Haha, there are no sponsors for this race!"

"Let's count down to five!"

Before the starting grid, the red light began to flash.

……

PS: I went to the hospital today, what bad luck...

Don't worry, it's not cancer!
I just had lumbar muscle strain and a sore throat. I took some medicine and started typing after I came back.

After finishing the coding, I found that this C-level competition was written too hastily. Above the C-level, the system that was buried at the beginning is about to surface.

There are also some hidden settings that have not been written, and they will also begin to be revealed.

But the first draft was so poorly written that I kept deleting, revising, and rewriting it again... I forgot the time while writing.

When I came to my senses, it was already half past eleven. Even if I filled in those thousands of words of draft, it would be useless (because I deleted them all 5555).

Sorry, the author contradicted himself, so let me fill it out again using the settings of my group friends.

Of course, I know saying this is useless, so...

Ten thousand words of compensation tomorrow!

If it's more than 10,000 words, I'll post one chapter at a time if I can write one.

It is best to finish coding the whole thing in one go before the game so that everyone can enjoy it.

Emerald Valrhona
Tribal Background:

The Emerald Tribe's culture emphasizes intuition, imagination, and feeling, even to the point of irrationality among some of their mecha fanatics. However, it's precisely this passion that has left a profound mark on the mecha world's artistic form, further enriching the mecha's emotional core, rather than leaving it as a cold, steely existence. Throughout history, the Emerald Tribe has produced numerous artists, poets, writers, and musicians, all of whom are giants in their respective fields.

Basic version:

Start: 6
Max speed: 6
Acceleration: 6
Sturdiness: 3
Manipulation: 9
Brakes: 9
Core Talent: Three Primary Colors (Synchronization Requirement: 5%)

Description: The mechas of the Emerald Tribe possess the ability to bring fantasy into reality. The three primary colors are not only the foundation of Valrhona's creations, but also represent her passion, determination, and peace.

Introduction:

Active skills: Valrhona can actively change the color of its own vehicle body paint (each color), and bring different effects:

Red: Increases top speed and acceleration by 15%, reduces handling and braking performance by 10%. After 30 seconds, the color fades, and the same color cannot be used again within the next 15 seconds.

Yellow, Fafner gains a pigment shield that can absorb 30% of the gate skill effect twice. After the shield resistance times are reset to zero or the duration is 30 seconds, the color fades, and the same color cannot be used again in the next 15 seconds.

Blue, Valrhona increases road adaptability by 20%, which lasts for 30 seconds, then the color fades, and the same color cannot be used again within the next 15 seconds.

Secondary Talent: Fantasy Path (15%)

Description: An ability that further illuminates fantasy into reality.

Introduction:

Active skill. After releasing, Valrhona can leave a color stripe with the same width as the car body on the path it passes. The effect of the color stripe depends on the current paint color of the Valrhona body. After 45 seconds, the color fades and it cannot be used again in the next 30 seconds:
Red, the color band can be regarded as a high-temperature road surface, and the effect is close to 30% of the actual road surface.

Yellow, the color band can be regarded as a sandy road surface, and the effect is close to 30% of the real road surface.

The blue color band can be seen as the surface of accumulated water, and the effect is close to 30% of the real road surface.

Evaluation: This is a talent that tests the driver's skills very much. If it is released at the right time on Chada's route, it will greatly enhance the defense.

Secondary Talent: Palette (Synchronization Requirement: 55%)

Description: With the palette, Valrhona can create more colors.

Introduction:

Active skill. After releasing, Fafner can combine the three primary colors in pairs to create a new color (the color lasts for 60 seconds and then fades away, and the skill cooldown is 120 seconds), bringing new effects:

Orange: Increases top speed and acceleration performance by 35%, reduces handling and braking performance by 15%, increases brake resistance by 30%, and leaves an orange trail on the path passed. This trail can be regarded as a high-temperature gravel road, and the effect is close to 40% of the real road surface.

Purple: Increases top speed and acceleration performance by 15%, reduces handling and braking performance by 10%, increases road adaptability by 40%, and leaves a purple trail on the passed path, which can be regarded as a muddy and flooded road surface, with an effect close to 40% of the real road surface.

Green, gate resistance increased by 50%, gain acceptance effect increased by 50%, and a green path can be left on the passed path. On this path, teammates' gate resistance increased by 20%, and gain acceptance effect increased by 20%.

Evaluation: This skill provides Fafner's pilot with more optional strategies and stronger offensive and defensive capabilities.

Secondary Talent: Visionary (Synchronization Requirement: 75%)

Description: Combine creative passion with thought to bring the inner world into reality more vividly.

Introduction: Passive skill, Fafna's skill effect is enhanced by 5%, and talent cooldown time is shortened by 30%.

Secondary Talent: Romanticism (Synchronization Requirement: 100%)

Description: Please interpret it to your heart's content! Romantics!
Introduction: Active skill, talent duration is 90 seconds, cooling time is 240 seconds (not affected by the Visionary skill). After release, Fafner's speed, acceleration, handling, and brake panels are fixed as 9, 7, 9, 7. The body paint can be switched at any time every 5 seconds, and a path of the same color is left behind the body.
