This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 216 The Missing Tire

At noon, the sun is just right.

The event staff are busy working.

Han Yu was debugging the parameters of the handle and controlling the left and right rotation settings of the joystick with a laptop, while Bi Chen was personally applying prints to his own machine girl.

Ye Qing read out the plan repeatedly: "Bi Chen, your starting position is ahead of Zhou Yun. As long as Zhou Yun starts to launch..."

"I understand." Bi Chen said with a smile, "Let his tires wear out."

Ye Qing laughed: "The burst kill flow that entered the maintenance station in the first round is not an early burst kill flow. Let's check it again. This activation method of first stamping and then skills is a bit heavy for the start."

"Ah."

While they were talking, they glanced at the Yunyue Group not far away again. Seeing Zhou Yun and Jiang Xiyue lying flat, Han Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Truly an idol!
"Are you so confident?"

……

"Yes, that's right, the Dark Star is empowering the game in its own unique way."

"Compared to the tense state of the other teams, Zhou Yun and Jiang Xiyue used their unique sense of relaxation to provoke the entire field, telling those teams that their strength is completely insufficient."

"This reminds us of Zhou Yun's first race, when he gave everyone the middle finger on the starting grid..."

"I'm starting to get curious. In this round of drift vs. drift competition, what makes Zhou Yun so confident of victory?"

The commentator smiled and warmed up the audience, igniting their curiosity.

Could it be that Zhou Yun is going to come up with something new to catch people's attention?

Could it be that Zhou Yun's mountain is going to get taller again?
"..."

"..."

Zhou Yun's mountain did not grow higher, it collapsed.

There was less than half an hour left before the competition. Looking at the empty Yunyue Group warehouse, he felt his head shaking.

What's the point of competing without replaceable tires and brake pads?
Show it off!
When Thor, who had just arrived, saw this scene, his expression changed drastically.

"impossible!"

"I checked everything yesterday. There are a total of 30 sets of tires, 50 sets of brake pads, 16 sets of brake systems, 60 sets of exclusive decals, 4 sets of replaceable assembled spoilers, and 28 sets of tire rechargers."

Jiang Xiyue, who was standing beside him, frowned and clenched her fists tightly: "But now, it's all gone."

Thunder God's voice trembled as he analyzed many possibilities: "Is this... a prank by Hualei? I'll go ask her right now..."

Jiang Xiyue shook her head: "Why would Hua Huan do this? She represents Jiuyuan Company and the United Tribes. Wouldn't this ruin her reputation?"

Zhou Yun also smiled and said, "You are desperate and reckless. In this situation, the most likely possibility is..."

He took a deep breath and frowned slightly.

"We've entered the wrong maintenance room!"

The two of them ran out of the maintenance room quickly, their eyes passed through the maintenance rooms of various houses, circled around in the distance, and finally returned to the flag fluttering on the maintenance room.

Looking at the Yunyue Group logo on the flag, Zhou Yun's eyes flickered.

Yuan Kai on the command platform said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I just asked the competition team, this is our maintenance room."

The biggest possibility has been ruled out, so now there is only one possibility left.

Zhou Yun lowered his head, clenched his fists, and sneered.

"Oh, a trick."

A resounding announcement echoed across the track: "Attention, drivers! The warm-up lap has begun. Drivers, please come on stage and test your machines. The race will officially begin in 20 minutes!"

Hearing this voice, Thor started running: "I'll go find tires and prints!"

Time passed minute by minute, and Zhou Yun aroused the curiosity of both the audience outside and the audience inside the venue.

"The Yunyue team hasn't even gone out for warm-up yet. Are they planning to give up on final adjustments to their race data?"

"What kind of tactics would allow them to keep it secret even at the risk of improper debugging? Could it be a modification like the 'new kinetic stabilization system'?"

The commentator grabbed the microphone and said excitedly, "There are only 10 minutes left before the game starts. Let's wait and see!"

"Wait and see?"

Chen Shuo leaned on the high platform in front of the box, looking in the direction of Jiang Wuyang, and slowly savored the Longjing tea in the thermos cup.

"We should wait and see. I'm curious, Wu Yang, what kind of reaction will you have?"

After saying that, he adjusted his tie, turned around, and said to his assistant with a smile, "I think the scope of the bet agreement can be expanded a bit, right?"

"Tell the shareholders I'm willing to take on an extra 40 points in exchange for them doubling their investment. Also, I'll share some information about Yuedong Group."

The assistant said in surprise: "Mr. Chen, the company is still under internal audit because of Mr. Jiang's matter."

"The shareholders aren't entirely on your side. If you do this..."

Chen Shuo smiled and patted the railing, glanced at Jiang Wuyang, and laughed.

Jiang Wuyang, I'm very curious about your choice. Do you want to help or not?
Wuyang.

You have no experience at all and are not suitable for playing these games at all. You should leave as soon as possible.

"No matter what, I'm going to win."

……

"Okay, I understand. You guys should look for it as soon as possible."

Sitting in the host's seat, Jiang Wuyang looked at the report sent by the Thunder God Garland, frowned tightly, and looked in the direction of Chen Shuo with a fierce expression.

As the competition approached, he checked the drivers and modified parts every day, and checked the background of his mentors.

He was afraid that with a huge reward, some driver would dare to perform tricks on the track despite the penalty of a lifetime ban from the S series, and he would actually find out about Chen Shuo's tentacles.

But no one expected that Chen Shuo would take action inside Jiuyuan!
"Jiuyuan Company's logistics partner? I relaxed just because Jiuyuan has a first-rate reputation... Damn, I really missed it."

Hearing the broadcast 5 minutes before the start of the game, Jiang Wuyang hurriedly took out his mobile phone and was about to call the event team to inform them of the postponement of the game and to raise resources for the Yunyue team. But as soon as the call was connected, his heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly remembered what the public relations manager had told him.

As long as he makes this call, the kill line will be reached.

Emotions are facts, and speculations are facts.

No one can withstand the four-pronged combination of public sentiment + public relations + lawyers + capital.

First, they fan the flames of public sentiment, then sue the drivers, and then, they hire lawyers to drag out the lawsuit for several years, turning "speculations and rumors" into "established facts."

After all, people's simple understanding is "Why are you being prosecuted if you have no problem?" By the time you become the center of attention, you are already completely socially dead.

At that time, you can only watch people from all walks of life feasting on "your corpse", and you can do nothing but wait to win the lawsuit.

But once the lawsuit is won, what is left?

You can't do that, absolutely not. Not only will it hurt yourself, but it will also hurt Xiyue and Zhou Yun.

This incident will become a "stain" on their racing careers, and they will be branded as "cheats" that will be difficult to wash away, so it is absolutely not allowed.

"Hello? This is the tournament team, Mr. Jiang, what's going on?"

"Hmm... is everything going well?" "The telemetry system is online, no illegal modifications have been detected, and no unstable spiritual pressure phenomena have been observed on the track. Everything is going smoothly."

"Then start on time."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wuyang suddenly felt deeply tired.

Even if one acquires so much knowledge, will people still only gain experience after suffering losses?
“It was a good lesson.”

At this moment, he clenched his fists tightly.

Zhou Yun and Jiang Xiyue's running style, coordination, tactical scheduling, and skills all rely on drifting.

But drifting is a very tire-damaging way of running.

In the case of a 14km track, using high-wear-resistant tires mixed with spiritual pressure material, normal running can last for 7 laps. At the expense of speed and safety, the limit is 18 laps.

As for drifting, you need to change it after 5 laps at most, and around 11 laps at most, but by that time, you will basically have trouble in every corner.

Moreover, brake pads are also crucial... In short, Xiyue is bound to lose.

With the internal divisions within Guanglun so severe, if Xiyue loses, it will trigger a chain reaction...

The announcement sounded, like a thunderclap hitting Jiang Wuyang's mind: "There are three minutes left before the race begins. Drivers, please be ready to step onto the starting platform."

"Aran, how should I choose?"

In the silence, Jiang Wuyang seemed to hear a cheerful female voice speaking in his ear.

[Be rational, Wuyang. Look, the talent you chose and the system you formed both have a late peak period, so don't just go charging head-on just because you're frustrated by the early setbacks...]

[You see, both of these can be assembled into this system, but both talents have their own side effects, so you can only...]

"Choose the lesser of two evils. I get it, A'ran."

It’s no big deal to lose a game, we can just win the next one. With the level of Zhou Yun and Jiang Xiyue, it’s not difficult.

But if there is a black spot on your racing career, it will be difficult to wash it away in your lifetime.

Revenge feels good, but if you want to win in the end, you need to exercise restraint.

He looked in Chen Shuo's direction, his face twitching for a long time, and then he laughed: "Shuozi, you've completely pissed me off. After the game... I'm going to break your legs."

……

"Damn Halo! Ah! Damn Chen Shuo!" Jiang Xiyue kicked the wall of the maintenance room hard, making a thudding sound.

"If you want me to lose so badly, just come at me head-on! Either you break my legs, or I break yours, right? I'm so pissed off!"

Zhou Yun's fist clenched into a crackling sound. Through Jiang Xiyue's description, he roughly knew the cause of the incident.

Internal struggle?

Haha, what does this have to do with me and Xiyue?

We are not halos!
It seems like one of them is still on a business trip with the Light Wheel... Never mind. He asked a little excitedly, "What's the point of this tournament team? Why aren't they taking care of this?"

Yuan Kai reluctantly appeased him, "According to the S-League regulations, tires, brake pads, and other consumables are an internal matter for the team. They express sympathy, but they have no right to interfere with the competition."

Manager Ye's voice also rang out from the phone: "That's right, Zhou Yun, you can only contact the competition committee to object to the results after the game, but it will be difficult to apply for a rematch, or sue Guanglun in court..."

Raise an objection?

You can't really do anything, so what's the point? Suing someone in court may be a little effective, but to be honest, it's still bullshit.

Manager Ye, who was on the video call, also shook his head: "Maybe it can succeed, but the Guanglun family is huge and Yun Yi can't afford to waste time."

Zhou Yun clenched his fists even tighter.

That anger is back again...

Thor hurried over, holding two tires and dragging several sets of brake pads behind him. "We found the stamps, but these are the only tires and brake pads we have."

Manager Ye leaned over, looked at the number of tires, and sighed helplessly.

"There are only four groups, not enough for one person to rotate each round. The opponent is a drifting force, so it's hard to even stay in the top ten..."

"How about you just withdraw from the competition? You're very well-known now, so why not use the public opinion to influence the Light Year Project's rematch?"

"But if I lose the bet, I lose the race and the benefits I get for track points. It's a huge risk."

Hearing this, the Jackdaw exclaimed in surprise: "Ah..."

Her heart began to shake violently.

"Zhou Yun, let's withdraw from the competition... We can't escape like this."

Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun is not someone who is willing to escape from the battlefield!
From the time of the first contract, she knew that Zhou Yun had always had a rage in his heart that needed to be vented, and even when the whole city was surrounded, he was unwilling to let go.

"So no, Manager Ye."

Zhou Yun's fists were clenched to the limit and his whole body was shaking.

Xiyue is still waiting to get Lingyu's contract, so if she quits, she will lose everything.

But... I'm really angry!
The memories suddenly came flooding back.

After coming into this world, he had no ID card, no household registration, and was detained by the police... It seemed like God was playing a big joke on him.

They brought him to the world he loved, then stripped him of everything, trapping him in a corner of the city and completely depriving him of any connection with racing.

So he has to win, he has to try his best to get back on the track and run to the position he should be!

Now he has his own racing team, his own mecha girl, and the power to participate in any competition, and now...

He took a deep breath.

While these memories have nothing to do with the incident, the deep anger is consistent.

he……

He is going on a killing spree!

"Wait! Xiyue, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive!"

Zhou Yun quickly stood in front of Qingluan, looking at Xiyue in the cockpit, and said breathlessly: "You are still young, you still have a future, don't act impulsively..."

"Man, don't stop me!"

Xiyue said angrily, and then roared Qingluan's engine.

Heaven created all things to nourish humans, but humans have nothing to repay Heaven. This makes me so angry!
From here, you should be able to drive straight up along the edge of the auditorium. Chen Shuo's VIP auditorium box is next to the aisle. As long as the speed is over 180 kilometers per hour, you can definitely do it!
"Zhou Yun, get out of the way! I'm so pissed!"

Zhou Yun said speechlessly: "Xiyue, stop it, you can't drive it up, don't think of forcibly stopping the game by damaging the plane and crashing it into the audience seats!"

Jiang Xiyue blinked, eh?
Seen through?

"You'll get banned for doing this!"

Zhou Yun sighed helplessly. Xiyue’s idea was too ill-considered.

Although with her driving skills, it would be easy for her to just run in the audience seats without hurting any spectators, she would definitely be banned, and if she was unlucky, she would be banned for life.

That way, he would be left alone.

Although he would have a chance of making it into the top ten even if he ran alone, what would be the point?
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll figure out how to win!"

At the same time, the announcement sounded: "One minute left before the race begins, drivers, please step onto the starting platform!"
