Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

Chapter 106 Tokyo Drift

The neon lights of Qing Teng Road were torn apart by the roar of engines, and the xenon headlights of modified sports cars pierced the night of the city.

Scattered with engine oil stains and discarded parts, the road is crowded with street thugs, gamblers, and car enthusiasts roaring and partying. This is the wildest underground street race track in Night City, where the rule is to win the race by any means necessary.

Vito also saw an acquaintance here; it was the person he met on his first commission in Night City.

Vito got out of the car, and Li Ying got into the driver's seat.

"Hey, Fernandez!"

Vito called out to an acquaintance.

Fernandez, sitting on the roof of the car, heard someone call his name. He turned around and saw Vito, looking quite surprised.

"It's you! Your name is Vito, right?"

"Yes, you're here to participate in the competition?"

Fernandez nodded.

"Want to join in the fun?"

Vito raised his hand and transferred five hundred euros to Fernandez.

Send me a copy of the route map, and also register me with the host.

Fernandez jumped off the roof of the car, beaming with joy.

"No problem, what are your registered names?"

"Liying and Vito".

"good!"

As Vito sat in the passenger seat, he saw Li Ying drive the car onto the track and get ready. The moment she did, her usual gentleness vanished, replaced by the sharpness and focus unique to a race car driver.

Vito sent the route to Liying, casually tuned the radio, and leaned back in his chair, accompanying the girl beside him on this pure speed extravaganza.

The host's countdown was full of passion: three, two, one!

The ear-piercing roar of engines exploded instantly, and seven or eight modified sports cars shot off like arrows. The tires screeched against the ground, emitting a pungent, burnt smell, and long trails of exhaust fumes shot out from their rear ends.

Li Ying's fingers flew across the gear shift lever, and she floored the accelerator. The 66-style dangerous driving mode instantly surged to the front, the engine revving soared, and the force of the push slammed the two of them into their seats.

The street race track in Night City is rugged and dangerous. The old town has uneven roads with potholes and messy neon signs and abandoned containers on both sides. The race route has one bend after another, and a slight carelessness can lead to a fatal accident.

A black SUV equipped with anti-collision steel beams was right behind them, its driver clearly a tough character. Taking advantage of the car's heavy body, it rammed into Li Ying's car!

boom!

The violent impact caused the car to veer sharply, the wheels to slip instantly, and the car swung toward the roadside container. Vito, in the passenger seat, frowned slightly but made no move; he chose to trust Liying's driving skills.

Liying remained calm, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. She quickly and lightly turned the steering wheel with both hands, while simultaneously tapping the brakes. Her toes precisely controlled the accelerator. The entire sequence of actions was fluid and without the slightest sign of panic.

Just as the vehicle was about to collide with the container, the slippery wheels instantly straightened, and she pulled the out-of-control vehicle back on track in one swift and skillful operation, without even a scratch.

Vito looked at Li Ying, the girl in front of him, who was dazzling on the field.

Just then, the car radio suddenly switched frequencies, and a high-energy, energetic melody burst forth—"Tokyodrift"

The precise note struck, crashing heavily against the roar of the engine, igniting the frenzied atmosphere on the track.

After dodging the impact, Liying's eyes were fixed on the series of S-shaped curves ahead, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She abruptly released the accelerator, pulled the handbrake, turned the steering wheel, and spun back. The whole sequence of actions was so fast that it was just a blur. The Type 66 sports car instantly skidded, the car body hugging the inside wall of the curve to complete a perfect drift, the tires rubbing against the ground and sparks flying, both elegant and wild.

The moment the car drifted through the corner, it left all its opponents behind and instantly surged to the top of the track.

Seeing that crashing and maneuvering the car were ineffective, the driver had the thug in the passenger seat lean out and start firing wildly at them with a submachine gun.

Ping ping ping ping!

Bullets whistled through the night sky, striking the armored body of the Type 66 Dangerous Drive vehicle, sending sparks flying, rattling the windows, and leaving white marks on the body from the bullet holes.

Ke Liying didn't even glance away, her eyes still fixed on the winding track ahead. Her hands were firmly on the steering wheel, and her movements of shifting gears, accelerating, and controlling the car were completely smooth, as if the gunshots around her were just background noise in the race.

Vito was completely nonchalant, even raising his hand to tap his knee lightly in sync with the radio broadcast, as if such a trivial matter was not worth disturbing the game.

The other drivers were furious and tried to collide with and cut off the other car, but Li Ying thwarted them all with her precise driving skills. Her control over the car was superb. Every lane change and every acceleration was just right, bringing the performance of dangerous driving to the extreme.

Without any cybernetics, weapons, or any tricks, Li Ying relied solely on her superb driving skills to lead the race to the very end.

The moment they crossed the finish line, deafening cheers erupted from both sides of the track. The roar of engines and the shouts of the crowd intertwined, becoming the wildest background sound in Night City.

The two were completely absorbed in the radio melody and the thrill of racing, ignoring all attacks and focusing solely on enjoying the pure pleasure of driving.

The provocations from the other drivers, the roar of gunfire, and the dangers of the track all became mere background to Li Ying's driving skills.

The dangerous driving came to a slow stop. Liying released the steering wheel, her fingertips slightly red, and her face flushed with the light redness of exercise, making her look more dashing than her usual gentle self.

"You drove wonderfully, Miss Liying."

"It's because your dangerous driving is so outstanding, Mr. Vito."

Ignoring the host's enthusiastic announcement of the winner, the two drove home without stopping.

"Gloria has finished moving? I offered to help Jack, but she said she didn't have much stuff and refused."

"The move is done. David has taken on a lot of work lately and rented a new apartment for Gloria. Originally, she was renting one in the company square, but Gloria said she wasn't used to such a big house, so she moved to Haywood by herself."

Liying turned the radio volume down.

"I saw David in the afterlife a while ago. He's very strong now and has a lot of prosthetics."

Vito gestured with his hand.

"Gloria said that David is trying to save money, and Lucy stopped being a team hacker because of what happened to Mann and the others. It seems that the deaths of Mann and Dorio have a big impact on her."

Liying and Vito were talking.

"I met them not long after I arrived in Night City. David has changed so much in just over half a year. I need to get Gloria a few prosthetic capacity chips when I have time. If something happens to all those prosthetics, Gloria will be heartbroken."

"A prosthetic volume chip? Is that the one you're working on today?"

Liying asked.

"Today I'm not just working on the prosthetic volume chip; I want to install it on a behavioral chip to see if it can reduce the side effects of the behavioral chip. I did some work on it today, but I haven't tested it yet."

Vito explained.

"Behavioral chips?"

Liying didn't quite understand these things.

"It can give an ordinary person the power of a trained soldier or even an elite soldier."

Vito explained earnestly.

"Ordinary people, gaining power?"

Liying was puzzled.

"This chip can empower ordinary people to fight against injustice, at least allowing them to take down a few murderers before they are caught and locked in a glass enclosure."
