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

Liu Jun walked towards the electronic leaderboard standing to the side, and his brows furrowed even more deeply at just one glance.

Medium speed: 2:12:47

Big Strange General: 2:14:12

audi：2:16:30

"Is it currently in second place?"

Liu Jun muttered softly, "But it's alright. As long as we can hold onto second place, the 500,000 yuan bonus will be enough to keep the shop."

The champion receives one million, the runner-up five hundred thousand, and the third-place winner two hundred thousand.

Winning the championship would be the best, but finishing as runner-up is also acceptable.

Gan Ning also saw the result and frowned slightly: "The cars behind us shouldn't be as fast as us, so second place is probably a sure thing."

"However, if we don't rescue them along the way, things might..."

"We've already secured first place."

"You can just stand by and watch someone die?" Liu Jun chuckled.

"That's definitely impossible, after all, two lives were lost." Gan Ning shrugged, but then his face turned bitter: "It's my fault. If the steering wheel hadn't broken down, we definitely would have won first place."

Liu Jun laughed and said, "There aren't that many 'what ifs'!"

"It's already quite good that our makeshift team could achieve this result."

"At least we can save the shop."

Gan Ning's face scrunched up: "No way, you have to have at least half, right?"

"That's great," Liu Jun said cheerfully. "But I'm not in a hurry to use the money, so I'll just consider it a loan. I'll take over the shop first, and you can pay me back slowly later."

"If all else fails, I can accept Jiangling, which is a thousand miles away."

This guy thought Gan Ning would scold him, but to his surprise, the other party just rolled his eyes at him and said, "I know you're saying this on purpose because you're afraid I won't accept it."

"I'll take it for now."

That is at this moment.

Several staff members walked over, looking bewildered: "The vehicle passed inspection."

"but···"

"Where's your steering wheel?!"

They were completely bewildered!

Everything was checked and everything was fine, including the seals. But when we got to the driver's cab, we found a wrench stuck in the steering column!

How the hell do I open this?

"There was a problem halfway through; the steering wheel screw broke." Liu Jun shrugged. "There was nothing I could do but use a wrench to make do."

"Driving with a wrench is no human job. I only drove about 80 kilometers and both my arms are almost useless."

Several staff members: "(⊙_⊙)···"

This···

Is that even possible?!

They are all professionals.

I've handled quite a few races, but even among off-road rallies, I've never seen one this wild!

"Awesome!" one staff member exclaimed. "This is absolutely unprecedented!"

"Most importantly, he was able to achieve such a good result."

"You have no choice but to accept it!"

The person in charge exclaimed in amazement, "That's truly amazing!"

"The results are valid."

At the same time, he looked at the other team members with a strange expression and whispered, "But with what you've done, I'm afraid quite a few people will have their Dao hearts shattered."

His announcement immediately caused an uproar among the other teams and drivers.

"No, seriously?!" The Lynk & Co team driver, currently ranked fourth, had been squeezed out of the top three by Liu Jun and his partner, and was somewhat at a loss.

"I'd noticed this car before, and I thought it was just there to make up the numbers, but it got second place?"

"They're even driving with a wrench???"

"this···"

"You're insane!"

He felt like a useless person!

With the support of a professional racing team and no problems with the car, they still couldn't outrun an individual competitor's beat-up car, which even had its steering wheel break halfway through the race, and they were driving with a wrench for the rest of the race?!

The Audi driver, clutching his forehead, exclaimed, "Damn it! You think I'm any better off? I still got thrashed!"

"Am I really that bad?"

Other teams and drivers ranked lower all smiled bitterly, and they all gathered together to question their existence.

BMW team: "We're so bad!"

Mercedes team: "You guys did pretty well, at least you got seventh place. We only got tenth this time."

BMW team: "What's the point? I have a feeling that once the videos and news of this race are released, we will all be nailed to the pillar of shame."

"Our glorious reputation for life!!!"

Everyone's expression changed, and then they looked up to the sky and sighed.

"We're doomed!"

The mid-speed riders remained silent.

Seeing this, the Lynk & Co driver couldn't help but ask curiously, "You won, so why the long face?"

The mid-speed driver looked up, his lips twitching several times before finally speaking in a low voice: "Mid-speed, huh! Is it glorious to beat a team that's rubbing pandas with their hands, wearing fake racing suits, and using wrenches as steering wheels?"

"You've lost so badly you can't even lift your heads, but do you think we, the winners, can just stand tall and proud?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and then couldn't help but laugh.

Suddenly, I feel like losing isn't so hard to accept after all.

"Hahaha, these two are absolutely damn troublemakers. Whether you're ranked before or after them, you'll be embarrassed."

"Let's die together!"

"Pfft..."

The lithography team members approached Liu Jun and Gan Ning, giving them a thumbs up: "You guys are really awesome."

"After today, you'll definitely be famous, very famous."

"Of course, we're the same." He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Want to get to know each other?"

Liu Jun and Gan Ning exchanged a glance, both looking a little timid.

I didn't realize it when I was speeding.

Now that I think about it carefully, it does seem a bit excessive.

That's incredibly embarrassing.

"They won't beat us up, will they?" Gan Ning winked at Liu Jun, somewhat worried.

"In a society governed by the rule of law, it shouldn't be like that." Actually, Liu Jun wasn't sure himself.

But you have to pretend really well.

After a brief exchange, the others also gathered around.

Everyone was amazed.

"Using a wrench as a steering wheel? You guys are seriously crazy!"

"Who do you think invented this thing?"

"Is this the legendary spirit of competition?"

"You guys really killed the game! The winners are practically crying!"

「···」

About an hour later.

The organizing committee has announced the conclusion of the competition.

The cars that haven't reached the finish line are unable to continue the race and are being rescued.

The final rankings remained unchanged.

The champion in the medium speed category was Liu Jun, the runner-up was Liu Jun, and the third place was Audi.

On the podium, Liu Jun and Gan Ning held champagne and sprayed it freely.

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

but···

Others, however, were uninterested and some even felt like crying.

Before he even stepped off the podium, another person squeezed into the crowd. Upon seeing Liu Jun, he exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, buddy, it really is you?!"

It's Brother Peng.

He was overjoyed, yet heartbroken: "Second place?"

"Holy crap!"

"It's our fault, it's our fault!"

"I checked the rankings, you were only about a minute and a half behind. If it weren't for the two minutes it took to save us, you would be the champions!"

Peng raised his hand and slapped himself: "It's my fault."

He felt very guilty.

However, they did not notice that these words caused the atmosphere at the scene to change drastically.

The team members who lost to Liu Jun didn't feel there was anything wrong with it. They figured they were going to lose anyway, so what difference did it make if they lost by two points or two points?

But~~~

Their gazes fell on the members of the medium-speed team, scanning them back and forth, each one trying to suppress a laugh, struggling to hold it in.

champion?

That's pretty impressive!

We won by a full point and a half.

But not only did he use a wrench as a steering wheel, he also wasted two minutes rescuing someone along the way, lol.

The way you champions are sitting, aren't your butts burning?

This second place is incredibly valuable!

The mid-speed riders were completely numb.

Help! ! !

I already felt embarrassed and ashamed.

And now you're telling me you guys even saved someone? You're actually the champions?

This is a win...

Hey!

It would have been better not to win at all!

Even if we don't win, at least we're all in the same boat.

If they end up being the only winner, won't they be laughed at by netizens?

You lose and get laughed at.

Won?

They will be nailed to the pillar of shame and mentioned by more people!

Whenever someone talks about Dawn 200, today's game, or the wrench driving incident, they are dragged out and whipped again.

「···」

Medium-speed rider Zhou Qi gritted his teeth: "What an exhilarating race!"

"I! Will! Never! Forget! Today!"

My back molars are almost crushed!

Liu Jun and Gan Ning could only 'smile foolishly'.

At this point, nothing you say will be right.

Offering comfort or anything like that is even less likely.

It might be mistaken for being sarcastic or deliberately mocking.

······

Group photo.

Award ceremony.

After finishing his work, Gan Ning was about to ask the organizing committee's logistics staff to find a suitable screw to install the steering wheel.

They found the screws, but the organizing committee told them not to rush to install them.

because···

The reporter wants to take pictures!

Just snap a picture!

They were taking photos and videos.

From the exterior to the steering wheel and even the dents in the chassis, not a single detail was overlooked.

It took a full half hour, and it was almost dark.

The organizing committee finally got Gan Ning to install the steering wheel, and also found a piece of sheet metal to weld onto the hole in the chassis.

Afterwards, they set off to rest in the nearest county town.

Peng and the other two were also together.

Dinner was arranged by Peng Ge.

At the dinner table, he made a self-punishment by drinking three cups of wine before slurring his words, "I truly have no way to repay your life-saving grace."

"It's a pity I'm not a girl, otherwise I would gladly offer myself to you."

Peng sighed, "It's even delayed your chances of winning prizes and awards."

"I really feel bad about it."

"Putting everything else aside, you must come to see me next time you come to Jiangxi. I'll take care of everything for you, from food and clothing to accommodation and transportation."

"Sigh, in the end, it's all my fault for acting on impulse."

His navigator gave a wry smile: "It's not your fault, I gave you the wrong directions."

"Hey, it's nothing."

Peng waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault. We're not professional rally drivers. We just held them up."

What a lovely couple.

Liu Jun and Gan Ning remained silent.

This kind of misunderstanding has happened more than once or twice.

They were too lazy to explain every time.

Liu Jun then followed up on the topic, saying, "You guys aren't involved in rally racing? Are you setting lap times? Or are you in touring car racing?"

When the topic turned to his profession, Peng Ge became interested: "None of those, we work with two-wheelers."

"Knight, you know, right?"

"This was just a trial run, but it turns out we're not suited for this industry."

"But I'm pretty good at motorcycles, you know the Isle of Man TT, right? I've signed up."

"Let's try our best to get a good ranking!"

Gan Ning clicked his tongue in amazement: "Isle of Man TT? The mortality rate there is very high."

Peng's eyes shone: "Hey, for the sake of dreams, you have to go crazy once in a while."

"Besides, aren't you just as crazy driving with a wrench?"

Those who dare to fight tooth and nail for their dreams deserve respect. Liu Jun raised his glass: "I wish you success in advance."

Peng laughed heartily: "Then thank you very much."

"We won't leave until we're drunk tonight!"
