This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 92 Cat and Mouse Game
The audience seats were packed with people.

Unlike the first S game, not many people came.

Because this is a private match, there are no tickets and spectators who want to watch the match need to pay a venue fee.

The price of 300 yuan per class (half an hour) and 1 yuan per day makes many people who want to watch "Dark Star" feel discouraged.

However, Ning Yuan is here!
"Welcome to Ning Yuan's live broadcast channel. What's about to begin is... Tan Tonglu vs. Zhou Yun!"

He sat in the lounge, connected the live broadcast directly to the stadium telemetry system, looked at the various images displayed on the screen, and operated it skillfully.

After calling up the monitoring station and throwing the surveillance footage of the starting grid into the live broadcast room, he glanced at the popularity of more than 500,000 and started to warm up the audience.

"It's said that when the world was first created, Yin and Yang... ahem, it's too early to say that."

"Ever since the Death Star appeared out of nowhere in S7 and crushed the entire field, and Tan Tonglu was trapped, he has learned his lesson and is determined to avenge his humiliation, even if it means taking a shit without toilet paper!"

"It's a pity that Chi Yue didn't let him play, so this Xiaoyunshan contest happened."

"He wants to prove himself again where he failed!"

At this time, comments were everywhere, such as [Haha, doesn't he know how much of his strength is fake?], [Isn't this just asking for trouble?], [If you want to give it to him, just give it to him], [His courage is commendable], and so on...

"You can't say that."

After seeing the comments, Ning Yuan smiled and asked, "Why is Zhou Yun so strong?"

"It's because he used his driving skills to forcibly eliminate the disadvantages of the mecha girls, allowing the veterans of the S2 era to return to the arena."

"But success and failure are both due to the same person. His style of running has created new problems, such as tires and gearboxes... The 'experts' online have analyzed it, and the 'drifting' style itself is not perfect."

"And from what I understand, Tan Tonglu has also found his own way to restrain himself."

"This time, he came prepared!"

Ning Yuan then released the chat records between him and Tan Tonglu.

Ning Yuan: [What were you thinking? Wanting to have a match with Zhou Yun?] Tan Tonglu: [Nothing special. I just figured out a way to fight him, so I wanted to give it a try. Since I can't find an opportunity to do it in person, let's meet up offline.]

Tan Tonglu: [Do you know how frustrating it is for a racing driver to come up with a new driving technique but never get the chance to try it out?]

"I've also asked about the specific details of this set, and all I can say is that this Jingyun Car God has something!"

He smiled and then said, "Let's wait and see."

……

On the other side, Kong Guancheng looked at the two drivers who were ready on the starting grid, took out his walkie-talkie, and began to broadcast to the entire Xiaoyunshan Circuit.

"Hello, hello, I'm Kong Guancheng. The traffic light is on. Contestant Tan Tonglu, get ready."

"Five, four..."

In a cat-and-mouse game, one car moves first, and the other moves later.

Tan Tonglu starts with 30 seconds, and Zhou Yun starts next. According to the mileage of the Xiaoyunshan track, if Zhou Yun fails to catch up with Tan Tonglu within 5 laps, Tan Tonglu will be awarded 1 point.

If Zhou Yun catches up with Tan Tonglu, the car behind will be counted as 1 point.

Then the front and rear cars are swapped and the game is repeated. If Tan Tonglu catches up with Zhou Yun in the second round, the scores of both sides will be tied, and both sides will start at the same time to decide the winner.

If not, Zhou Yun wins by 2 points.

This kind of event can be considered a "replay" of the first S game.

A gentle breeze blew across the track.

"Qingjue, unfold it and let him see the results of our training."

Qingjue nodded, and his emerald green hair floated up as if by reaction, and then huge jade crystals grew around his body.

Surrounded by crystals, the armor on her body exploded piece by piece, and finally turned into a racing car.

Tan Tonglu sat in the driver's seat, staring at the traffic light above his head.

"Zhou Yun has a huge advantage at the start, and he can close the 5-second gap in an instant. Qingjue, we need to 'hot start'!"

"understand!"

After the red light turned green, Qingjue shot out of the starting grid like an arrow and quickly rushed into the first corner.

Then the green light turned red again.

Looking at the direction where Qingjue disappeared, Zhou Yun said.

"Jackdaw, unfold!"

Unstable frost and snow began to spread across the track. …

"Chongshan Qingjue is a late-stage mecha girl. According to the race inspection data, Qingjue's starting speed is 6, top speed is 5, and acceleration is 4..."

"Compared to Jackdaw's starting speed: 8, top speed: 10, and acceleration: 10, Qing Jue can't compete at all."

Chongguang's technical director opened his pad and spoke rapidly, "Qingjue's skills are also slow to activate. She needs to activate her first talent, [Thousand Mountains Flowing Shadows], to gain a speed bonus and gradually make up for her panel disadvantage."

"However, the 28% synchronization rate requirement is enough for Tan Tonglu to run one and a half laps."

The technical director smiled and said, "According to the data from the first S race, Zhou Yun will make up 5 to 6 seconds at the start, 3 seconds after four turns, and about 16 seconds in the first lap..."

"The next two laps will be 6 seconds each. Zhou Yun's [Boundary-Breaking Wind] can catch up to 8 or 9 seconds..."

Hearing this, Lu Yang nodded slightly.

Cat and mouse game, 5 laps, 30 seconds. On average, as long as Zhou Yun catches up by 6 seconds per lap, he can win the first round.

Considering Jackdaw's speed and Zhou Yun's driving skills, there was no suspense in this race.

Lu Yang picked up a bottle of Blue Sheep and narrowed his eyes. "In this race, we need to actually measure how much damage Zhou Yun's drifting method causes to the tires, and the speed at which he enters and exits corners at different angles..."

Just then, the technical director interrupted him.

"Wait, Tan Tonglu is a lot faster than in the S game! The head-circle activation speed is at least... 1.2 times faster! And it's still improving!"

"We don't know what he's done yet, but if he can keep it up, maybe, just maybe, there's hope of winning!"

Lu Yang looked at the surveillance screen, his pupils slowly dilating.

How on earth was this level of data improvement achieved, and how come Chongguang was completely unaware of it?
Chi Yue...what did he come up with?
A feeling of being left behind arose in his heart.

Those who fall behind will be beaten. This is an eternal truth.

He took a big gulp of Blue Sheep and thought to himself that he had come to the right place today.

……

"There are only 5 seconds left before Zhou Yun starts!"

Ning Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Tan Tonglu has already passed four corners in a row! His speed has surpassed his previous performance in the S race!"

"In order to overcome Qingjue's slow startup, he created a 'hot start' system!"

"I'll explain the details later. The Death Star is about to depart!"

The harsh roar of the engine sounded on the starting grid, and the tires of the Jackdaw kept slipping slightly, emitting bursts of white smoke.

Now she felt as uncomfortable as if she was drowning. The engine was constantly increasing the pressure. She was like a volcano about to erupt, and she couldn't help but let out a roar.

However, after becoming familiar with the 'catapult start' method, she found that she was more adapted to this 'pressurized bomb' mode.

After replacing the gearbox, the speed is also higher than before!
"Zhou, Zhou Yun..."

Looking at the traffic light turning green, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Tan Tonglu, let me see what good things you have prepared."

"Jackdaw, charge!"

Then he slammed down the [Grip Pedal], and in an instant the Jackdaw rushed out like a rocket.

The next moment, he arrived at the first bend. He quickly stepped on the brakes and started to 'drift'.

"How come Zhou Yun's starting speed is so strong! Even faster than before!"

The Sogo Racing team's technical director looked up, quickly calculated, and came to a frightening conclusion: "He's starting the first turn faster than in the previous S race... at least 1.4 times faster!"

"what happened?"

The Blue Sheep in Lu Yang's hand fell to the ground, and the drink spilled all over the floor.

It’s okay that Tan Tonglu can come up with such a huge data bonus. After all, Chiyue is an old club, so it’s normal to have some things.

Maybe it's a talent imprint, or maybe it's a change in running style or system style... This can explain a few things.

But the jackdaw's ability has reached its limit!
There's nothing more to add! Zhou Yun, what did you do?
……

"As expected of the Death Star! He always surprises me every time he appears!"

Ning Yuan said in surprise, "After a 'hot start,' Tan Tonglu reached the fourth corner in 28 seconds, while Zhou Yun reached the fourth corner in 73 seconds, nearly 19 seconds faster!"

"And the speed is getting faster with every turn!"

"Tan Tonglu isn't to be outdone. His speed is still steadily increasing... I'm increasingly looking forward to the upcoming match."
