This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 97 After the Game
A breeze rose and the mountain fog thinned.

"Whoo~"

Chongshan Qingjue folded up the car and squatted beside the track, feeling a little depressed.

I didn’t expect that after so much research and training, I still couldn’t beat Zhou Yun and Jackdaw... Could it be that Tan Tonglu is withdrawn again?
Thinking of the boy's fragile heart, she stroked her hair helplessly, wondering how to comfort him.

What a hassle!

I can't say too much, what if I lock myself in the room and never come out?
"Well, as the saying goes, success is born from failure. This time..."

"What are we having for dinner?" Tan Tonglu rubbed his stomach and asked, "How about fried noodles with soybean paste?"

Qing Jue blinked his eyes. "No, let's go eat crayfish. Order the spiciest kind, and wash it down with two cases of beer. The director who asked me to act in the TV show was the one who got drunk like this..."

"It's not impossible."

Just then, an engine sound was heard, and Zhou Yun drove the Jackdaw slowly to the two of them.

After getting off the car, Zhou Yun took off his helmet and shook off the sweat on his forehead: "When is the second game?"

"No more comparison."

Tan Tonglu shook his head, then he unzipped his one-piece racing suit, took out a few engravings from the lining of his clothes, and handed them to Zhou Yun.

"readily!"

Zhou Yun smiled and stretched out his hand to take it, but he saw Tan Tonglu clench his fist, causing his hand to stop in mid-air.

"I've figured out how to improve my running style. I need to go back and prepare it. You can use these seals first."

Tan Tonglu turned his fist downward and made a fist-punching gesture: "Next time, I will win the seal back."

"no problem."

Zhou Yun stretched out his fist and collided with Tan Tonglu's.

"I'm always here for you."

After handing over the engraving, the two drivers started chatting.

They talked about the S game from that rainy night, and then talked about many issues related to modification. Zhou Yun's imagination opened Tan Tonglu's eyes.

The previously vague evolutionary direction also became clear.

Anyway, Qingjue is strong enough, so we can just give up the safety kit, make it as light as possible, improve the air intake and exhaust ducts, and add many kits suitable for the "air fryer" running method to the outer shell.

Even the gearbox can be modified to adapt to the new running style... After returning, some things are busy.
"Telling me so much, aren't you afraid of losing next time?"

Zhou Yun looked towards the end of the track. He just wanted to make racing more interesting.

The 'air fryer' running method gave him a lot of inspiration to break through the speed limit.

I wonder if I will encounter more interesting ways of running in the future?
On the other side, after Jackdaw folded up the car body, he walked up to Qingjue with a serious expression, which scared Qingjue so much that he quickly took a few steps back.

Many of the mecha girls who finished the race with her wanted to beat her up!
The skill of Jade Dust can make the mecha girl who is competing with her cough for the entire game.

"you……"

Jackdaw looked Qingjue up and down and said, "Next time, can you make the dust taste like Little Raccoon instant noodles?"

"???"

"Reiatsu dust tastes terrible! It's like calcium carbonate without acid, or sodium peroxide without aluminum."

Jackdaw said seriously: "Zhou Yun said that if the steamed buns are not delicious, it must be the fault of the lack of pickles. You just need to give your dust a taste. If it is a raccoon, that would be the best."

"Then we'll start a 'Huiyuangou' (shopping mall) with different grades: large strawberry flavor, medium grass flavor, small chocolate..."

"Be sure to package it at the end! Add some copper-tin alloy to your dust..."

Qingjue was stunned after hearing this... Is there anything wrong with your heart device?

But strawberry-flavored dust sounds like it might be a good idea.

No! You should add more chili peppers!
……

"I just received news that there will be no second round."

"The game is over. Let's congratulate Death Star for winning!"

Ning Yuan put down his phone, closed the chat page with Tan Tonglu, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Commentary is such a tiring job! He'd be so exhausted from shouting that his throat would be smoking. It felt like the Sahara Desert. But looking at the considerable revenue from this live broadcast, he couldn't help but laugh.

It was not easy to convince Tan Tonglu to broadcast the game live, but fortunately it was done.

“Thanks to both drivers for their wonderful race. I am increasingly looking forward to their performance in the S race.”

"Please follow the '狗电' account. Tomorrow at 10pm, I will update the video clip of this match. See you there!"

After saying that, he turned off the live broadcast, quickly walked downstairs, and went to find the operations manager of Yunyi Racing Team: Jiang Yu Feng.

It’s time to share the live broadcast revenue!
……

In the audience, after learning that there would be no second race, the staff of each team left one after another.

Every face looked worried.

"We'll be busy from now on." Lu Yang said to the technical director, "You stay and talk to Kong Guancheng. You must get the complete telemetry data."

"Tan Tonglu really taught us a good lesson."

"Our drivers were too complacent. We were seriously lacking in technical reserves to face Yun Yi and Chi Yue, and our on-track strategy was far from adequate."

Lu Yang raised his head and glanced in the direction of Chen Shanhe: "It's far from enough."

Chen Shanhe stood up, straightened his windbreaker, gripped his cane tightly, and felt a little excited.

This game of Tan Tonglu brought him so many surprises!

If he were given more time and better resources, he would definitely grow faster, and maybe even be able to take Chi Yue and break out of Jingyun City!

In the second S game, instead of using that scumbag Park Gui, it is better to use Tan Tonglu.

He laughed: "Li Zhechen, you saw it too, Tan..."

"I see." Li Zhechen's expression was not very good: "Chen Shanhe, you shouldn't have let Tan Tonglu go to the competition!"

"What will netizens think? What will the market think? He's still using the Chiyue name!"

"Chi Yue lost again! Do you know how much this will cost?"

"How are we going to sell club memberships? How are we going to sell merchandise?"

"As the boss, can't you see how many people have canceled their memberships in the past few days? I invested so much money, and you let me see this?"

"We must find a way to recover this loss!" Li Zhechen said seriously, "Now that Park Gui has exposed herself online and Tan Tonglu has lost again, we..."

Chen Shanhe didn't listen to what Li Zhechen said at all. At this moment, he felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

As the owner of the team, he cares about the results, the development of the drivers and the longer-term future.

Investors only care about profits and will continue to demand more without stopping.

When the club is big, it can still be stable. Once it encounters some problems, investors will dismantle the club in order to protect their interests.

"Anyway, you're the boss, you have to find a way. Even though we've known each other for ten years, I can't hold the other shareholders back, right?"

"Chen Shanhe, think about it carefully."

After saying that, Li Zhechen left the racetrack without looking back.

Chen Shanhe gave a bitter laugh and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck!"

Over the years, he has looked more like a runner for these shareholders than a club owner.

Even the decision-making power of which driver to put on the field needs to be discussed with them. If they disagree, then there is nothing I can do as the boss.

Then he raised his head and looked at Tan Tonglu who was walking towards him, and he was certain of one thing in his heart.

If Chiyue doesn't change, it will definitely fall apart!

……

After packing up and returning to the convoy base with his teammates, Zhou Yun found a strange visitor who had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Hello, Zhou Yun, I'm Pang Qingyun, the operations manager of Lanyang Company's Cainan Province." Pang Qingyun, wearing a business suit and carrying a suitcase, followed Feng into the office building of Yunyi Motorcade.

The two words "Linglu" on the background wall behind the front desk on the first floor were particularly eye-catching, making him almost suspect that he had entered the wrong caravan.

"I just bought an office building and haven't had time to renovate it yet. I'm sorry."

Feng smiled awkwardly. All the money was used to develop the three-way tire charging system, and there was no money left for renovation.

But Zhou Yun didn't care about this. It was just that Manager Ye felt uncomfortable sometimes and hoped that the replacement could be made sooner.

Pang Qingyun walked while observing Yun Yi's convoy.

To sum it up, there is only one word: poor.

Two words: really poor.

Three words... ahem, it seems that it shouldn't be difficult to accomplish the tasks assigned by the superiors.

After entering the reception room, he looked at Zhou Yun, but did not rush to state his purpose. Instead, he placed the suitcase on the coffee table.

"Blue Sheep has been following Mr. Death Star for a long time. We really appreciate your wonderful running style. These are our gifts to you."

"This represents our sincerity, I hope you will accept it."

Zhou Yun opened the suitcase and looked inside.

Two crystal clear talent imprints lay quietly on the sponge mat.

He picked up one and flipped through it, and the corresponding data appeared on the Heart Contract.

[Tire Phantom]: After changing the tire, a 'Tire Phantom' will be generated.

During the Phantom Follow period, tire wear rate is reduced by 3%, resistance to brake skills is increased by 8%, and it disappears after resisting 1 tire blowout.

Another powerful talent for preserving the fetus!

After putting down the Talent Mark, Zhou Yun asked, "I wonder what the Blue Sheep Company wants to do with our Yunyi Team?"

"Don't you think Jingyun City is very cramped?"

Pang Qingyun smiled and continued, "With your level, you should be able to perform in a bigger place."

"As a racing driver, you should be on the best track, with the best coaches, the best equipment, and the best technical director. Your racing style and your driving skills should be seen by the whole world."

"And we, the Blue Sheep, can give you the stage to show yourself."

Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, then understood: "You want me to transfer?"

"That's right!"

"We, the Blue Sheep, sincerely invite you to join the Blue Sheep 2 team."

Pang Qingyun took out a foldable screen mobile phone from his pocket, unfolded it, and showed the internal information of the Blue Sheep Racing Team to Zhou Yun.

"If you can make it to the Blue Sheep 2 team, we can let you play as the No. 1 player, with two world-class players to play with you..."

"Huh? Not Team 1?"

Pang Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "If you want to join Team 1, that's not impossible, but you can't be the number one driver. The individual champion of the previous S race has already been transferred to Lan Yang."

Zhou Yun took the phone and started looking through it.

"What about my friends in the team?"

"Sorry, this is not something I can decide. I need to report to my superiors..."

After hearing this, Zhou Yun also understood that Lan Yang only wanted him. Others could go in, but it was not necessary, so he kicked the ball.

What Pang Qingyun said was equivalent to... no hope.

To be honest, the resources provided by the Blue Sheep Racing Team are really rich. The treatment of the drivers, the technician team, and the technical director are all top-notch.

but……

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Zhou Yun returned the phone to Pang Qingyun: "I don't want to switch to the European region to play games. I'm still more comfortable playing games in China."

"Thank you Blue Sheep for your sincerity."

"You really won't consider it again?" Pang Qingyun felt a little regretful. In this way, he would lose his bonus!

"Think about it, what can you get by joining the Blue Sheep Team..."

"No, I'm really not interested. The Yunyi Racing Team is very important to me."

"Okay." Pang Qingyun sighed. Fortunately, he had a second way to get the bonus.

He took out a contract from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yun.

"This is the sponsorship contract for the Blue Sheep. The first installment will be 30 million. Please review it first, but let me be clear: the first installment won't be too large."

Zhou Yun picked up the contract, took a look at it, and laughed.

Sure enough, getting sponsorship is not that easy.

"I hope you understand that Blue Sheep has sponsored sports for many years, and the amount of sponsorship is almost the highest in the industry." Pang Qingyun said with a smile, "So I hope to have some insurance."

"Isn't it just a matter of ranking in the competition? That's no problem."

The contract clearly states that if the team reaches the podium, it will receive the full sponsorship from Blue Sheep.

If not, the sponsorship will be halved, and after three losses, Blue Sheep will only provide the lowest level of sponsorship.

In addition to this betting clause, there are also some rules for drivers. For example, the sponsor's advertising requirements must not be posted incorrectly or modified arbitrarily, and must be strictly standardized. There are also personal requirements for drivers, such as not promoting other beverages in the media...

Other than this, there are no additional terms.

No demand for control, no demand for management...

"That's great."

“Isn’t it just grades?”

"Just take it."

Zhou Yun took the pen from Feng, quickly signed his name, and then stamped it with the Yunyi team's seal.

……

The team's financial pressure was finally completely relieved, which made Feng so happy that he didn't even go out to sell the cubs at night.

As the second S race draws closer, the Yunyi team begins busy training.

Zhou Yun thought about it and decided to distribute the talents for preserving the fetus.

[Tire Phantom] was left to Jackdaw, and [Wujiu] was assigned to Lingyu.

Because the pressure faced by driver No. 2 Jiang Xiyue is greater than that faced by driver No. 1.

In addition to daily training in drifting techniques, Jiang Xiyue also began to study a new running method with Ling Yu, Corner Rhapsody!

Tan Tonglu gave her a new inspiration to solve the problem of cornering speed, which made her work day and night to study it.

"Ling Yu, let's give it a try!"

……

Lin Yao has been very happy these days.

Ever since Zhou Yun gave him the patent for the "drift car", the factory has almost sold out.

Orders kept coming in from all over Jingyun City, making him earn a lot of money in a short time.

Investing in Zhou Yun was really a good bet!

Looking at the busy scene in the factory, he lit a cigarette and answered the phone.

"Which one?"

"Why, you don't even recognize your master's voice?"

Lin Yao's face turned cold in an instant: "Li Zhechen, what do you want to do?"

　Ah ah ah
