The car is going very fast, please bear with it.

"That makes sense!"

Gan Ning's reddened eyes showed a hint of excitement: "Let's start from the beginning."

Even though she wasn't a professional, she knew that what navigators feared most was "losing the route book".

However, this "lost route book" usually doesn't mean the route book is missing.

Rather, it's about "losing a point," losing a frame of reference!

Once reference points are lost, the road map becomes useless.

Emphasizing the frame of reference is perfectly reasonable.

······

Two hundred kilometers, twice.

Multiple fine-tunings were made.

I finally got a satisfactory electronic roadmap.

"I'm a little sleepy, I'll take a nap."

Be careful on your way back.

Gan Ning yawned, feeling exhausted after finishing his business.

"Rest assured."

Liu Jun didn't say it, but he was heartbroken.

Xiao Qingmei hasn't had a proper rest in the past few days. After arriving at the destination, she's been busy maintaining the car and working on the route map, and she hasn't slept for over thirty hours.

No wonder I'm exhausted.

Leaning back in his seat, Gan Ning's breathing had already calmed down in less than three minutes.

Fell asleep.

Liu Jun's feelings were somewhat complicated.

but···

The desire to win has reached an unprecedented peak.

"Even in my past life, I never wanted to win this much."

"This wave...this wave, we have to win!"

「···」

······

The sun was shining brightly on the day of the competition.

Two hundred starting points at dawn.

Liu Jun and Gan Ning personally affixed their titles and blood types to the car windows.

General DaDaGuai: Type O.

Corporal Little Monster: Type O.

While waiting, they also saw other contestants.

"There are over eighty teams participating," Gan Ning muttered to himself. "A rally race where the top level is only level three, the minimum requirement is barely level two, and the champion only gets a million-dollar prize, yet so many people are participating."

"Are you kidding me?"

She frowned, sensing something was wrong.

So many people, and the two of them are just half-baked beginners... This...

Gan Ning grew increasingly uneasy: "Do you think... we can win?"

"That's hard to say, I'll just do my best," Liu Jun said with a smile.

"Well, that's all we can do," Gan Ning sighed helplessly. "Winning would be great, but if we can't, it's not our fault."

"Look, those guys over there are from the lithography team."

"That's the medium-speed ladder car team over there."

"Lynk & Co. has also sent people."

"And then there are the three BBA companies..."

"Many of them are big-name, celebrity teams, and I even saw a few individual competitors whose names I could recognize."

"this···"

Tremendous stress!

There are many experts here.

Liu Jun also thought it was outrageous, but he was more excited.

Are they all experts, strongmen?

I···

It's not weak either.

It's only fun to fight against strong opponents!

"Don't panic."

"There's nothing to be afraid of with individual competitors," Liu Jun comforted them. "The prize money is only one million. They can't possibly modify an A-class car to compete, otherwise they'd lose money even if they won."

"Those big teams are different; they might be just after the reputation, not the prize money, so they might have better cars."

"But big teams have pride. In these second and third-tier races, the teams that come may not be the main teams, and may even be mostly second or third-tier teams."

"We still have a chance."

Gan Ning nodded: "That makes sense."

That's the logic, but the situation is still far from optimistic.

They are indeed from the second or third team, but we are both newcomers.

"Ready to verify identities, departure is imminent."

"Walk."

"Walk!"

The relevant competitions in this world are already well-established.

Perhaps many competitions also take place in the 'meeting room', but at least the rules on the surface are fair.

As for Liu Jun and Gan Ning, who were seen as "newcomers and cannon fodder" by everyone, they naturally did not have the right to receive unfair treatment, and the entire pre-match process went very smoothly.

I just wasn't very lucky when I drew lots.

There were eighty-seven vehicles, and they were lined up at number seventy-two.

"I'm quite far back, bad luck."

"It's not very friendly to us." Gan Ning frowned. "There are so many cars ahead, it might cause some changes in the road conditions."

"We need to be more careful."

"Mm." Liu Jun nodded.

There were too many cars ahead, and most of them were driving aggressively. This could indeed cause a significant problem on this kind of off-road terrain.

······

The departure interval is three minutes.

There were 71 intervals, totaling 213 minutes, which is three and a half hours.

With the five-point harness in place, Gan Ning picked up his phone, his palms slightly sweaty: "Are you nervous?"

Liu Jun slowly began to speak: "I..."

"excited."

drop!

boom!

Apply full throttle and release the brakes.

The engine roared, and gravel flew everywhere beneath the wheels.

The panda sprinted forward like an arrow, attracting the attention of many team members.

"what?"

"This panda is a good change."

"This car has been completely modified!"

They are all professionals; they can tell most of it just by glancing at it and listening to the engine roar.

"Good heavens, if the Geely Panda is modified like this, isn't it all handmade? There aren't many racing car parts on the market that are compatible with the Panda."

"I just don't know how well the changes are going, or whether I can keep them up until the end of the race?"

They made comments and criticisms.

This panda has been heavily modified, but heavy modifications don't necessarily make it stronger!

Especially off-road rally races.

Being able to make changes is nothing special; the real skill lies in making changes that run fast and can withstand damage.

······

The panda sped along the mountain road.

The roads near the starting point are in pretty good condition; they appear quite smooth at first glance and have very few curves.

Liu Jun's right foot was practically welded to the accelerator, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

About two kilometers later, the first big bend is approaching.

Gan Ning opened his phone's photo album, played the photos at double speed, and then began calling out the locations.

"The second one from the right is right next to the fourth one from the left."

Whoops!

Liu Jun remained silent, lightly applied the brakes, and turned the steering wheel.

Gravel flew everywhere as the highway whizzed around the roadside.

"hiss!"

Gan Ning gasped, "Isn't starting this fast a bit too aggressive? Should we slow down?"

She was a little flustered by the fact that they were going all out from the start.

Although I want to get the prize money to save the shop, I can't risk my life.

Especially since it involves the lives of two people.

"Don't worry."

Liu Jun smiled and said, "I know what I'm doing."

"You find a good landmark and call out the location, then just enjoy yourself."

Gan Ning was bewildered: "Enjoy...enjoy?"

How can one enjoy this?

At the edge of the horizon, billowing smoke and dust could be seen.

Those were the marks left by the previous car.

The roar of the engine echoed through the mountains, and Liu Jun became even more aggressive.

But he remained calm.

They didn't even have the will to fight with anyone.

Liu Jun murmured to himself, "In this match, the only one I can ever win is myself."

The average level of drivers in this world is indeed very high, surpassing that of my previous life.

But in my past life, I was never a weakling either.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I don't even need to surpass my peak performance in this match. As long as I play to my full potential, I can win the championship!

"Speaking of which, I guess this counts as frying fish."

Liu Jun suddenly chuckled.

He estimated that, at his peak level, even in this world, he could participate in the top league and have a chance to win a place.

In this kind of competition, if you still can't get first place, there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that someone else was frying fish.

Secondly, ...I underperformed.

"The straight section of the canyon ahead is 2.3 kilometers long. Full throttle, full throttle!"

boom!

Following Gan Ning's prompting, Liu Jun once again welded his right foot to the accelerator, and the panda truly transformed into a bear, beginning its high-speed run through the uneven canyon.

150, 180...

Two hundred and thirty!

The engine was roaring.

Coil teeth seem to sing.

The world in Liu Jun's eyes slowed down once again.

It seems someone pressed the slow-motion button, and the only ones still moving at normal speed are him and the panda.

"Visibility congestion 500 meters ahead."

"We've caught up with the car in front."

Gan Ning was a little nervous: "Be careful."

Liu Jun nodded slightly, without slowing down the accelerator, but simply flashed his high beams to signal the car in front to prepare to overtake.

The car in front was quite well-behaved and didn't deliberately block the way, leaving space on the right.

Liu Jun kept walking, and the panda kept accelerating!

They successfully overtook it before the end of the main straight and sped away.

"Holy crap!"

The driver who was overtaken was also an individual racer. Looking at the receding taillights, both of them cursed, "That looked like a Panda!!"

"Can a panda drive that fast?"

"This is insane!"

······

"Stimulate!"

Gan Ning's worry vanished, and as he used his phone to report the location, his face subtly flushed.

Heartbeat.

Adrenaline is surging.

At that moment, she felt a little giddy.

There was no longer a trace of fear in his eyes: "Charge!"

"Let's overtake a few more."

"Okay!" Liu Jun grinned.

"Besides, you really did a great job modifying this car."

As a professional driver, Liu Jun could sense that the car was not perfect and even had many problems.

But these are all minor issues.

At its core, this is definitely a good car.

One...

A car with a chance to win the championship!

"Now you know how powerful I am, right?" Gan Ning exclaimed even more excitedly, "Charge! Charge! Charge! Take them down!"

Liu Jun: "..."

How come she's even crazier than me?

but···

It's been a long time since I've felt this thrill.

He grinned: "Come on~!"

boom!

Another full throttle, cutting diagonally into the corner amidst flying dust and stones!

"130 km/h around the corner???"

"That was so exciting!"

Gan Ning was both surprised and delighted, and even more excited: "I think I know what you mean by 'enjoyment' now!"

Liu Jun looked at him with newfound respect: "Aren't you dizzy?"

"What's wrong?"

Liu Jun: "..."

"You really have the makings of a navigator."

Off-road routes, highways, bumpy roads... to stare at your phone screen under these conditions without feeling dizzy or nauseous, I must say, you really have the innate navigator's physique!

"Of course." Gan Ning's smile widened: "First turn to the left, then third turn to the right, followed by a near right-angle left turn. There's a red sign at the intersection."

"Be careful of falling rocks on that inner bend!"

"good!"

Liu Jun's expression gradually turned serious: "Since you're not dizzy, then I'll speed things up."

Gan Ning was startled.

It can even speed things up?!

boom!

The engine was roaring.

It navigates corners with effortless grace, its agility is almost unbelievable.

It's as if every turn is a work of art!

The art of cornering.

"That's amazing!"

Gan Ning exclaimed in surprise, "It seems like we really have a chance!"

Liu Jun remained silent, rounded another bend, and suddenly frowned.

Gan Ning clicked his tongue: "Was there a car accident?"

At the spot where she had pointed out the rockfall, a car crashed straight into it, sustaining severe damage to its front and forcing it to retire from the race.

Fortunately, the driver and navigator were not seriously injured and were standing by the roadside waiting for someone to pick them up.

This made Gan Ning's heart tighten slightly: "Shall we slow down a bit?"

Liu Jun grinned: "Go all out?"

"Okay!"
