Huayu: This top star doesn't play by the rules.

Finally, Chen Chao's task card was revealed: "Go to the Hangzhou International Karting Track, compete in a karting race with the drivers on site, and achieve the fastest lap record to win."

"Go-karting?" Curious, Chen He approached Chen Chao and, after seeing the details of the mission, immediately turned to the directing team to protest.

"Aren't you guys just handing points to Chen Chao? He's a race car driver! Professional racers all praise his talent! Aren't you just letting him go on a paid trip?"

In response, the production team simply replied expressionlessly, "These were all chosen by the audience through voting."

"The audience voted? Did you guys leak the news that Chen Chao could drive race cars beforehand?" Chen He still didn't believe the director team's explanation.

"Ahem, Brother He, since this is what the audience wants to see, we have no choice but to obediently comply." Chen Chao gently patted Chen He's shoulder, suppressing the corners of his mouth that wanted to turn up, and he was having a hard time holding it in.

"Alright then." Hearing Chen Chao say that, Chen He could only sigh resignedly. "Brother, enjoy yourself!"

After chatting for a few more minutes, everyone set off for their respective mission locations. Chen Chao also rode in the production crew's car all the way to the Hangzhou International Karting Track.

This go-kart track boasts a professional outdoor track that is nearly one kilometer long and has more than a dozen curves, making it much larger than typical recreational go-kart tracks.

When Chen Chao arrived, he found a large crowd gathered around the track. Some were fans who knew that Running Man was going to be filming today, while others were just passersby who happened to be there to go-kart.

After quickly changing into his racing suit, Chen Chao walked into the race track with his helmet in hand. He greeted the track coach and a few other drivers who would be racing against him that day, chatted for a few minutes, and then randomly chose a go-kart to sit in.

The drivers who will be racing against Chen Chao today were specially selected by the coach after receiving notification from the Running Man program team. They are the best-performing trainees on this track.

After all the contestants were ready, Chen Chao took the lead and rushed out as the referee waved the flag.

Just like before, Chen Chao chose to brake late and take the inside line at the first corner. His car went up to the curb, and the tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground.

By maneuvering through the corners, Chen Chao quickly distanced himself from the drivers behind him. Although they tried their best to accelerate on the subsequent straightaways to catch up, they were instead pushed further away.

On every bend, Chen Chao could find the fastest cornering line, and he applied the throttle perfectly when exiting the bend, so that the car almost flew over the apex of the bend each time.

After several laps, the second-place driver could no longer see Chen Chao's car at all. Seeing this, the fans on the sidelines couldn't help but raise their phones and scream, with some shouting, "Chen Chao is so handsome!"

However, none of this could distract Chen Chao. His attention was completely focused on the car and the track, pushing the limits at every turn, braking as late as possible, and keeping the car as close to the curb as possible.

Finally, on the fifth lap, he successfully set the fastest lap record—38.7 seconds.

After glancing at the timer and then at Chen Chao on the track, the referee picked up the walkie-talkie and announced, "Challenge successful!"

Upon hearing the referee's words, Chen Chao quickly got off the go-kart, took off his helmet, and his hair was already wet and stuck to his forehead.

He was just about to chat with the coach and drivers when a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, "Chen Chao, you're amazing!"

Subconsciously turning around to look in the direction of the sound, Chen Chao saw Jing Tian standing outside the railing, waving vigorously at him. Next to Jing Tian stood Dilraba, who was holding two bottles of mineral water.

Wearing the show's blue team uniform, Jing Tian's hair was a little messy from the wind, but she couldn't hide the excitement on her face.

"How about we check if you've completed your mission?" After greeting the coach and drivers, Chen Chao walked over to them and asked with some curiosity.

"It's done. Chao Ge and I went to the kindergarten to play the wooden figure game with the kids, and we got it right on the first try. Dilraba's side is done too. She measured the giraffe's height, and she said the giraffe even licked her, which scared her quite a bit."

"Since our mission location is relatively close to you, we thought we'd drop by and see you." Jing Tian smiled, her eyes crinkling. "When we arrived, we saw you crushing everyone on the track. Your cornering was so cool! I saw quite a few fans screaming."

Dilireba handed the bottled water to Chen Chao and said with a smile, "Here you go, Chen Chao. I see you've sweated so much, you must be very thirsty."

"Thank you." Reaching out to take the bottle of mineral water, Chen Chao unscrewed it, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp. The icy liquid slid down his throat, relieving much of the heat he had felt on the track.

"This was specially bought for you by Dilraba. She said you might get thirsty while racing on the track." Jing Tian suddenly said, as if she had thought of something.

Standing next to her, Dilraba was slightly taken aback when she heard what she said. Then, she instinctively reached out and covered Dilraba's mouth, as if afraid that she would say something shocking. "I just bought it randomly, don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, okay, I was just talking nonsense." Jing Tian, ​​who didn't have time to dodge Dilraba's palm, could only helplessly raise her hand in surrender.

After Chen Chao changed his clothes, the three of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the venue, intending to go to a nearby milk tea shop to buy some drinks.

However, while queuing, one of Chen Chao's young fans recognized him and ran over to ask for an autograph.

Seeing this, Chen Chao stopped the staff from stopping him, squatted down, signed his name for the little girl, and wrote a blessing: "Study hard and make progress every day."

After thanking Chen Chao, the little girl happily ran back to her mother with the autograph, and even turned back to wave to Chen Chao.

Watching Chen Chao and the little girl interact so affectionately, Dilraba's lips unconsciously curled up slightly. Jing Tian, ​​standing next to her, gently nudged her with her elbow, "Stop looking, or your eyes will pop out."

"I didn't!" Dilraba retorted loudly upon hearing Jing Tian's words.

"Nothing?" Chen Chao, who had just returned to the group, overheard her question and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Nothing, you misheard!"

"Yes, Reba is right, you must have misheard."

Faced with Chen Chao's curiosity, Dilraba and Jing Tian spoke up in perfect unison.
