This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 257 The Impact of Whale Fall

The sun was half hidden behind the horizon, shrouding the entire Kyoto in afterglow.

For many people, after a busy day, it is time to end their tiring work and retreat into their own lives.

After all, I almost vomited after eating so much melon today, and I can’t eat any more.

But for others, the busyness has just begun.

"Overwhelming! Boom! Blow them all away!"

On the Fourth Ring Expressway, the sound of horns continues one after another.

In a small van, Jiang Xiyue, who had been speechless for an entire afternoon due to the internet gossip, raised her head.

She looked at the evening rush hour traffic in front of her that was as surging as the East China Sea, and she felt like a porcupine holding a pufferfish and touching a hedgehog, with all its hair standing on end.

"What happened to 'Badao Jigoku'? Why do these netizens believe every rumor? My private messages on Weibo are blowing up..."

After complaining with a look of despair on her face, she rubbed her head impatiently.

"Why is the Fourth Ring Road so congested? Is it never going to end?"

Today is the day she officially signs the contract with Yun Yi. She has prepared the meeting gift, cake and speech for joining the team.

She thought this would be a new beginning for her racing career and a beautiful memory for the future, but Kyoto's traffic shattered the girl's dream.

"Can we go now? Sister Lingyu, please honk the horn!"

"Jiuyuan Company's modified prints have all been shipped out. I have to give them to him right away!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiyue turned around and looked at the people from the Light Wheel Engineering Department behind her, her tone was very painful and helpless.

"Sorry, I didn't expect the traffic to be so congested. Uncles, Zhou Yun has a competition the day after tomorrow..."

Che Wanzheng, the former manager of Guanglun Engineering Department, laughed when he heard this.

They all knew what Jiang Xiyue wanted to say.

The competition will start the day after tomorrow, so we have to race against time from now on. We must help Zhou Yun modify the Thor as soon as possible and debug all the parameters.

Since the mission does not wait for anyone, let alone a welcome ceremony, I am afraid that tonight...

He smiled and patted Jiang Xiyue's chair.

"Haha, I know, it's just non-stop work."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at his side and said in a relaxed tone: "It's been a long time since we old guys have stretched our muscles."

The colleagues around him also laughed.

An uncle who was about the same age as Jiang Wuyang spoke to Jiang Xiyue with a smile.

"Don't worry, we are not like those new recruits from Guanglun who are full of young master's temper."

The other one also spoke with a smile.

"That's right. This time I'm joining the new team. The only reason is that I want to compete with your dad again and improve my performance."

"Yes, knock down the door to the S-League World Championship for him!"

Che Wanzheng gave Jiang Xiyue a reassuring look.

"Don't underestimate us because we are engineers. We are also good at repair and modification. We are all professionals."

"There's no need to say more tonight. I'll make sure Zhou Yun can test drive the Thor tomorrow morning. Besides..."

Having said that, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket.

"We've already copied the track data from the only B-class race at this Hot Wheels track."

"With the ready-made parameters, modification and debugging will not be slow."

"Yes, we guarantee that Zhou Yun will have absolutely no worries before he goes on the track!"

Hearing what the old engineers of Guanglun said, Jiang Xiyue felt an indescribable sense of relief and joy.

She didn't expect that after Guanglun had been abandoned in a retirement position for so many years, these people were still willing to follow his father... no, follow the passion of their youth, to fight again in a completely unknown new environment.

"Thank you everyone."

At this moment, her heart, which had been beating like a little rabbit, calmed down.

Then he turned into a lion and roared suddenly.

"Why isn't this car moving? Can the car in front please go faster?"

After going to the Nimbus, she discovered that if the 'Reiatsu Magnet' of the Hot Wheels track was boosted to Class B standards, the track parameters would be different from those of Class C.

Now that the stamp modification is in place, if Zhou Yun modifies Thor according to the C-level parameters...

Wouldn’t it be a waste of the whole afternoon?
"Sister Lingyu, let's just crash that truck in front of us!"

Ling Yu also honked the horn a few times. She was quite impatient at the moment.

If Zhou Yun were to start directly and complete the modification according to the existing track data, he would need to disassemble it and readjust the parameters of each part one by one. The result would be...

It's like sending your phone in for repair. After troubleshooting for a long time, you realize it would be faster to just buy another one.

After honking the horn a few times, she gave a wry smile.

"The enemy's tonnage is larger than ours, so we can't knock them away."

"Well, you take control of the steering wheel, and I'll get out and help the driver..."

Before she could finish, she heard a high-pitched, angry voice.

"Horn! Honk! Honk! Why are you honking? The road under the Fourth Ring Road is jammed like pearls in a straw! No matter how hard I try, I can't get any more!"

"Don't press it, I've been stuck in traffic all day... Eh? Ling Yu? Jiang Xiyue?"

Ling Yu rolled down the car window and immediately saw the wreath outside the door.

"You, I remember you were working with Jiuyuan Company..."

Jiang Xiyue traced Ling Yu's chest and looked at the garland outside the window with a look of surprise. She suddenly thought of something and slapped her head.

Got it.

Don't worry anymore.

Zhou Yun’s printed modification parts never arrived.

"Damn Kyoto's traffic!"

At this time, Ling Yu and Hua Huan also felt a sense of sympathy like Qingshan's fellow patients.

"Why did humans invent something like transportation?"

After learning about the road conditions ahead with Huahuan, Jiang Xiyue lowered her head with a look of frustration and grabbed her cell phone.

Jiang Xiyue, the real-life Zhou Yun! Follow my perspective to learn about the most popular racing story about a robot girl: "Reborn Racing God: The Domineering Robot Girl Falls in Love with Me"!

[Private message from 'Badao Zhou Yun Falls in Love with Me': Miss Jiang Xiyue, I also want a racing driver like this. How did you do it...]

Congratulations, author Jiang Xiyue, on the release of "Reborn Racing God: The Domineering Robot Girl Falls in Love with Me"! It's incredibly popular online right now, so please keep up the good work and keep updating (the reviewers are bowing down to you, please update! The editor also asked you to write more about Zhou Yun's perspective)...

She squeezed the phone screen hard, but when she found that it wouldn't break, her heart was completely broken.

She originally wrote this book just to have fun being 'Jiang Wuya'!

[Zhou Yun vs. Ye Qing, Zhou Yun's new mecha girl's skill attributes revealed! ]

Kunlun's head coach admitted that pursuing extreme speed might not be beneficial in this match, as their opponent was the 'skill bomber' Ye Qing...

"It's moving! It's moving! I can finally get down!"

Following Huahuan's exclamation, Jiang Xiyue put down her phone and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

She knew the level of her old teammate Ye Qing, but...

"Extreme speed is the key to overturning the fate of this battle."

……

Dust and smoke filled the runway.

The engines roared to the heavens and earth.

The semicircle of the setting sun reflects the vastness of the world, the magnificent deep blue gradually covers the sky, and the distant stars... There are no stars in Kyoto at all, but it does not prevent people from sighing about the distant future.

in the venue.

The friction between the tires and the ground squeaked, accompanied by a vibration like tearing the atmosphere, and the powerful and violent machine finally stopped.

"Do you want to drift the plane too?"

"Brother! That's not how you fly a plane!"

"Captain! This is a plane, not a pilot! What are you doing?"

"No, no, mecha girls can't drift either!"

Dear passengers, flight CA1911MCP from Kunming to Kyoto has arrived safely. Please check your luggage...

Listening to the plane's broadcast, Leng Xingyun, the No. 1 main force of the Dianyun team, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't drift!
Don't!
Over the past month, these drivers from Cainan Province have been almost tortured to death by drifting!

"Manager Liu, why are you taking a plane if you're afraid of heights? Don't vomit, the other fleets from Cainan Province are watching..."

After saying that, he looked around and saw the eyes of his opponents in the next S game, which made him feel uncomfortable.

He patted Liu Lingling on the back and said speechlessly, "How many vomit bags have you filled? If you keep doing this, the flight attendant will think you're pregnant..."

"vomit……"

Liu Lingling, manager of the Dianyun fleet, slowed down her breathing, put down the vomit bag, raised her pale face, and spoke in an urgent tone.

"It's too rushed. I didn't expect Guanglun to agree to start a war. The Yunyi team really didn't give us any chance to relax."

She took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth, then spoke quickly, ignoring the urging on the radio to get off the plane.

"The plane has landed now. Can I turn on cellular data? Quick!"

"Quickly check out what Zhou Yun's new mecha girl is and what strategy he'll use in the final battle... Ugh."

Upon hearing this, Leng Xingyun took out his mobile phone, connected to the data, and quickly searched for the latest battle report of Zhou Yun VS Ye Qing.

Liu Lingling, who was standing by, stared at Leng Xingyun's phone, feeling anxious.

Their team has developed the catapult start and combined it with the 'starting explosive kill flow', so that they have a speed in the early stage that is enough to match or even surpass Zhou Yun.

If you can catch up, you can use your skills to implement the strategy of "never gamble, use skills to bombard".

To this end, they made adjustments and targeted training for more than a month and gained many advantages.

After weeks of seeing the drift performance of the Yunguangnian Project, they all thought it was stable. Who would have thought...

How did Zhou Yun come to be against Ye Qing?

And it was actually a B-level competition!
Doesn’t this mean that the Yunyi team already has a mature solution?
Then wouldn’t all this time have been in vain?
Looking at the loading bar on the official website of the S League, Leng Xingyun raised his head.

"I also want to challenge Ye Qing."

"Manager Liu, can our Dianyun team also give Guanglun a blow?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Liu slapped him on the head.

"Stop dreaming. After this S-League match, we'll have plenty of opportunities to challenge."

"I hope Zhou Yun is using a defensive mecha girl, so our team can target her easily..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Yun's mobile phone information was revealed.

【United Thor】

【Number of matches: 0】

[Training Experience: 0]

[Features: Satisfies the dreams of grown boys to play with a transforming robot girl...]

"..."

Looking at the string of zeros below Thor's information, Leng Xingyun and Liu Lingling fell silent.

"As expected of Zhou Yun, he has nothing on his mind except speed..."

After saying this, his expression became slightly serious.

"Sure enough, only by challenging an opponent like this can I truly show my true strength, Leng Xingyun..."

"Snapped!"

Liu Lingling slapped him again.

"Even though you're called that, could you please stop thinking of yourself as the protagonist of a TV show?"

"You're referring to yourself in the third person. Are you memorizing your lines? I..."

"I didn't expect Zhou Yun to not use a defensive mecha girl against Ye Qing. I really don't know if Zhou Yun is being arrogant or confident."

Leng Xingyun rubbed his head speechlessly, looking at Thor's data over and over again, and a surge of blood rose in his heart.

Sure enough, this was the Jingyun City champion he knew.

Even if challenging an opponent like Ye Qing, he must carry out his ideas to the end.

"Yes, Manager Liu, this is difficult."

Liu Lingling nodded. "Using defensive mechas to build an offensive and defensive system against Ye Qing is within our scope of thought, so it's easy to do."

"But if you don't use it..."

At this moment, Leng Xingyun put down his phone and asked, "What do we do if Zhou Yun really wins this game?"

Liu Lingling gritted her teeth.

"Then go practice drifting!"

Leng Xingyun and the girl beside him shuddered suddenly.

He and his girlfriend were almost driven crazy by Zhou Yun before they even learned how to drift.

If this were to lead to drifting… He could handle it, but the pilot girl couldn’t!
Dear passengers, please take good care of your belongings and avoid staying on the plane for too long...

Hearing the urging voice on the plane again, Leng Xingyun stood up and looked through the window of the plane at the endless blue at the end of the runway.

"Want to practice... drifting?"

……

"That's right!"

"Manager Liu, your summary is spot on. We want all drivers to practice drifting!"

At the evening party at the Light Year Project Base, all the members of the Glorious Evolution Project Team gathered together. The discussion was very lively, and everyone's faces were red.

Jiang Wuyang clapped his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, then turned to look at the marketing manager.

"What the marketing manager said just now is correct. Now that Nimbus has been delisted, the leading domestic club has fallen, causing many investors to lose confidence."

"They are confused and waiting. With the leadership of the industry still vacant, this is our opportunity to gloriously evolve our project."

"We must seize the opportunity and vigorously promote sticker modification to attract hot money into Glory Evolution and the racing modification industry."

Having said this, he paused and slowly lit a cigarette.

"And he just analyzed that now that Guanglun has been delisted, the showdown between Zhou Yun and Ye Qing is already in the middle of a storm of public opinion."

“There aren’t many opportunities to bring the national racing industry together.”

"The timing, location, and people are all right right now. Our partner, Jiuyuan Company, is also looking forward to this opportunity, but you..."

He took a deep puff of cigarette and asked the question that many people present had in their minds.

"Why don't you agree? Instead, you want to downplay the promotion of the stamped modification and put all the opportunities on promoting the 'drift flow'?"

"You know, our project team has limited energy. We can find another opportunity to hold a drift training class."

After saying this, he sighed inwardly.

You won’t know if you don’t investigate, but you’ll be shocked if you investigate.

After a rough adjustment, he found that the domestic racing car modification industry had been reduced to ruins, and there were less than ten major modification factories across the country.

These factories are generally struggling to make ends meet, and have neither the market nor the money to fund the fleet.

Now they have nothing, how can you make them stand up?

As the saying goes, if you want to get something, you must first give it.

It is useless to just shout slogans. This is just like poverty alleviation work. We must first give them something that they can support themselves!
Now that there is a window of public opinion before the S game, this is a publicity opportunity that we can completely control independently. We must first send in the money so that the print modification can take shape quickly.

With the help of Zhou Yun's achievements, we can pave the way for the domestic printing modification market.

The marketing manager also questioned it.

"Yes, although the drift flow and the printing modification book are integrated and complement each other, there is still a distinction between primary and secondary within our project team."

"According to Mr. Jiang, drifting is something that happens on the track and is aimed at the racers."

"We can promote this through the Yunyi Racing team's performance in the S race. With the current popularity of Death Star, the drift trend will definitely spread. We don't have to worry about the hype."

"Establishing a stamped modification market is something outside the industry, dealing with investors and modification factories. These are two completely different issues!"

"You've been busy all afternoon, didn't you also do a research report on the domestic racing car modification industry? It's a mess!"

"They don't have the money to rebuild the factory, nor do they have the ability to assist us in producing printing modifications. What can we do if we don't have what we want? We can only provide it."

"Now is the time when the Nimbus Whale is falling. It's a good time to pour capital into it and help them quickly scale up. Why miss it?"

Having said that, his expression became somewhat solemn.

"If we don't quickly scale up, how can our Glorious Evolution project continue to develop?"

Everyone present nodded. Although the marketing manager's words were harsh, they made sense.

This is indeed a battlefield of life and death for Glorious Evolution.

"Haha."

The marketing manager laughed.

"I know that facing a brand new world, everyone wants to work hard to build a career."

"But is it really that simple to create a market for print modification and revive the modification industry?"

"I know that the influx of hot money and the rapid expansion of our project will indeed be beneficial to the development of our project, but it is just castles in the air."

“I ask everyone, what is a market?”

Before anyone else could respond, he was the first to answer.

"It's very simple. It's clearly written in the textbook. It's about demand."

"So the core question is not whether it is mainly 'print modification' or something else."

"The question is, does the team have this demand?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wuyang covered his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It’s all my own fault!
Indeed, under the system he created, the team's demand for not only stamp modifications but even ordinary modifications was minimal.

Demand determinism, it’s just such a simple truth.

In an instant, everyone woke up from the dream that "hot money quickly poured in, created a prosperous market, quickly spread across the country, and created an industry miracle."

That’s right, without core demand, the market is a castle in the air.

"With the help of this publicity opportunity, we can quickly attract a group of modification factories."

"For example, the Yunyu Machinery Factory, the former owner of the Yunyi Racing Team, is in urgent need of expansion. We can boost their production capacity to the point of explosion."

"But if there's generally no market demand, who are you going to sell the printed modified products you've asked them to produce?"

He clapped his hands and gestured.

"Right now, only the drifting genre is in urgent need of a large number of modification parts, and indeed, Zhou Yun has really started the drifting genre craze."

“But only the big teams pursuing S-class results will be able to incorporate drifting into the sport.”

"So even though the market is hot, the overall demand is low."

"If we force it, there will only be one result."

"Manufacturers' overcapacity has led to low-priced products, which has resulted in oversupply, causing low grain prices to hurt farmers, leading to a cooling market, and ultimately... a complete mess."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Since they chose to follow Jiang Wuyang, joined the Glorious Evolution Project Team, and chose passion and youth, they all knew in their hearts that this result was something they would never accept even if they died.

"You're right, I was too impatient. After all, the publicity was so intense that I had to rush to reach the sales window. My mindset was already set in stone."

The marketing department gave a wry smile and clapped their hands, and applause suddenly broke out in the conference room.

Jiang Wuyang also clapped his hands softly, feeling more and more emotional.

Fortunately, I believed the words of a certain evil god from outside the domain and got professionals here first.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how to start, nor how many more mistakes he would make.

Seeing this, the marketing manager smiled and felt relieved.

"Without indifference, one cannot clarify his ambition; without tranquility, one cannot achieve his goal."

"Reforming the racing industry is not something that can be done overnight. It requires the leadership of one factory after another and the opening up of one link after another."

"Even if we did that, we wasted the opportunity to sell the product and build it quickly, making it difficult to get our initial capital back."

"But we have to be down-to-earth, right?"

"Our most urgent task is to use this competition to promote the drifting genre!"

"To promote it nationwide and worldwide means getting all drivers to practice drifting! With this core demand, are you worried about a lack of market or capital?"

Then he looked at Jiang Wuyang with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, you are right. We are a drift training class."

“Moreover, we can leverage the power of those ‘old clubs’ and ask them to help promote drifting.”

After listening, Jiang Wuyang took a deep breath, put out the cigarette in his hand, and made a decision without hesitation.

"Okay, I will explain it to Lin Qinglei in person and convince Jiuyuan to fully cooperate with your plan."

Seeing Jiang Wuyang make the decision, the marketing manager also knew the next direction, so he said with a smile.

"Since I've chosen this path, I'm ready to go... However, given the current internet landscape, it would be best if we contact the author of 'Reborn Racing God'."

"I heard the book has been unblocked. If he can help promote Drift Stream, it will be much more effective."

The public relations manager beside him also nodded.

"That's right, online literature is indeed a very good medium. After all, many newcomers to the racing industry were influenced by online literature and entered the industry."

"If we can connect the currently popular 'Jiang Wuya' and 'Zhou Yun' with the drift flow and create some classic stories, the dissemination effect will be good."

"Many racing drivers today are tied to traffic. If their fans like drifting..."

Listening to the noisy discussions at the meeting, Jiang Wuyang's face became increasingly darker.

How did your own daughter come up with the idea of ​​writing such a book?

"..."

"Um, I... okay."

“I happen to know the author of this book.”

The engineering manager looked shocked.

"Fuck, Mr. Jiang, you know so many people."

Then another voice sounded.

"No wonder. After all, it's based on President Jiang. I've been wondering if the author knows President Jiang."

"That's easy now..."

The meeting accidentally headed straight towards a remote bend, and after dozens of minutes, the discussion heat for "Rebirth of the God of Racing" finally subsided.

Until the end, the marketing manager gave a summary to Jiang Wuyang.

"For the promotion of this competition, we will definitely maximize the impact of the drift flow, don't worry, Mr. Jiang."

"but……"

“There’s only one best piece of publicity.”

"That's when a newcomer in the S-League defeated the national champion and created a miracle on the track."

Hearing this, Jiang Wuyang nodded and stood up.

My daughter should be here by now, so we can chat about the novel...

'Zhou Yun'?
I go!

What are you writing about?
"Okay, now that the direction has been decided, I believe that with your abilities you will definitely perform well."

"Now that things are over here, I can go help Zhou Yun with his grades without any worries."

After saying that, he walked out of the conference room, looked through the window of the corridor of the Lightyear Project Base at the racing city not far away, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Just now, he almost immersed himself in the beautiful dream that the marketing manager had described.

'Hot money poured in quickly, creating a prosperous market, quickly spreading across the country, and creating an industry miracle'. It looked so good that he almost acted impulsively.

But the marketing manager's words woke him up.

Whether it is Zhou Yun who developed the drift flow, or other drivers who need the drift flow, aren't they all racing drivers who can forge market demand?

If it weren't for the needs of racing drivers, how could Jiang Wuyang's system be so brilliant?

The foundation of the racing industry is still the racing drivers.

"Ha, people-oriented..."

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked into the distance.

"Chen Shuo, ah Chen Shuo."

"Nimbus is delisting...Haha, hahaha...You've always been like this."

"Stubborn donkey, you won't wake up even if I spank you, and you'll be in high spirits even if I don't spank you. Do you really want to fight me again?"

"Okay, let's fight."
