A live stream that dramatically transformed a depressed schoolgirl shocked netizens across the count

The official host sat in the commentary booth above the starting area.

Three monitoring screens are laid out side by side: the left one is fixed on the starting line of the gantry, the middle one displays real-time data of the four cars, and the right one is a camera positioned high above the first bend for an overhead view.

In the center of the large screen, the race timing system has been locked into the single-car interval start mode.

Four race cars lined up in formation, the water in front of their wheels creating ripples as the engines idled.

Each car is spaced one minute apart.

Regardless of the order, only the absolute effective time is considered.

The Purple Night Ghost occupies the number one position, the Red Falcon GT3 is in second place, and the Silver Shark GT-R is in third place.

Looking up, U9 was at the back of the line.

Red countdown lights lit up one by one from the top of the gantry, and beams of searchlights cleaved through the rain at the track entrance.

The mountain wind carries the accumulated water from the forest, which flows down the slope as a muddy stream.

On the outside of the first right bend, the fallen leaves had already been washed past the white line and were clinging tightly to the shoulder.

The host pressed down on the headset microphone.

"Nine Bends Night Race, countdown to start!"

Inside departure bay number one.

Xiao Yunlong gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his right foot pressed on the accelerator pedal, his calf muscles completely tense.

Xu Yan stared down at the route book for the first stage, her back pressed firmly against the back of her seat.

The exhaust note of the Purple Night Ghost crashed against the roof of the starting shed, and the rear of the car slammed down amidst the roar.

The first red light came on.

The second one.

The third one.

The moment the fourth red light came on, rainwater slid wildly down the dark purple front of the car to both sides.

Xu Yan pressed the communicator to check the channel.

Xiao Yunlong ignored the communication and stared intently at the bend in the road ahead that was swallowed by the night.

The fifth red light came on.

As the infrared beam crossed the track, the tire data of the Purple Night Ghost simultaneously reset to zero.

"three."

"two."

"one."

The red light is off.

The Purple Night Ghost tore through the puddles and rushed across the white line, two streams of muddy water shooting out towards the rear of the vehicle.

Xiao Yunlong quickly shifted up gears, and the car sped forward, hugging the clean center line to the right of the starting line.

The tires forcefully whipped up the water on the outside of the first bend, and the water curtain flew over the roof and crashed into the guardrail behind.

In the in-vehicle footage, the Purple Night Ghost's speed continues to increase.

Xu Yan stared at the road conditions ahead and quickly reported the code.

"Forty meters after the departure line, there is flowing water on the left."

"Enter the third bend on the right, there are fallen leaves on the inside, and there is water accumulation on the outside at the exit."

Xiao Yunlong released the accelerator with his right foot and slammed the steering wheel to the right.

As the Purple Night Ghost drove over the puddles, the rear of the car swayed slightly. He quickly steered back onto the track.

The green light at the first timing point flickered in the rain.

[Purple Night Ghost has passed the first timer point]

Current time elapsed: 1 minute 18 seconds

The host enlarged the segmented data.

"One minute and eighteen seconds! The road conditions in the first stage were worse than during the survey. Xiao Yunlong didn't fully unleash his speed; he used the first run up the mountain to scout the route for the entire race!"

The official timer started a 60-second countdown.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

[The bikes started at intervals, and Long Shao's 1 minute and 18 seconds was the passing grade for tonight!]

The road conditions were terrible. Cars behind could make slight adjustments based on the tracks of the cars in front, but a moment's inattention could send them shoving into the mud.

[Chen Lang is the last to start. Can Chen Lang and his U9 create a miracle?]

As the timer relentlessly ticked, the cars in positions two and three started their races one after the other.

Lin Xiao, the driver of the Red Falcon GT3, demonstrated the absolute qualities of a second-place finisher in the Cangshan Open Group.

Instead of copying the tracks of the Purple Night Ghost, he cut to the right side based on the changes in the water flow, using a cleaner start to grip the asphalt road surface.

One minute and fifteen seconds!

The Silver Shark GT-R followed closely behind.

Tang Rui used the four-wheel drive system to forcibly lock the torque, avoiding the slippery inner area, and carved out a new line in the mud.

One minute and sixteen seconds!

The first three cars' debut performance raised the bar for the first timing point to its absolute limit.

In the departure area, only one Yangwang U9 remained.

The front of the car had no decals, only the race number and inspection seal, and water droplets slid rapidly down the carbon fiber body.

As the four wheels rolled over the drainage ditch, the suspension of the cloud-carriage operated at a low frequency, adjusting the chassis height wheel by wheel.

Chen Lang sat in the driver's seat, his hands resting flat on the steering wheel.

Shen Qingci lowered his head and swiped the independent data terminal.

On the screen, the first-segment results of the top three cars are displayed in order, accompanied by the real-time deterioration of road conditions.

The horizontal flow of water has expanded.

The outer leaves are rolled into the center of the bend.

The drainage belt on the right side has become completely narrowed.

Chen Lang glanced at the screen.

"The route of the first three buses?"

"Purple Night Ghost entered the corner too fast and had to be corrected twice, Red Falcon stepped into the deep water when exiting the corner, and Silver Shark brought Broken Leaf to the center line. None of them were complete."

Shen Qingci zoomed in on the real-time graph of the first bend to its maximum.

"We went directly to the right from the departure line, and cut the drainage belt forty meters later."

Chen Lang nodded.

"This time we don't need to wait for others to scout ahead."

Shen Qingci looked up at the gantry in front of her.

"The time taken to reach the first timing point is within one minute and thirteen seconds."

Chen Lang pressed his right hand against the inside edge of the steering wheel.

Is that enough?

"Let's see if you can get the car into the apex of the bend."

"Then let's see what your winning numbers are."

The first red light came on.

All four motors of the U9 were powered on and ready to go, and the high-frequency electrical noise pierced through the wet starting shed.

The second red light came on.

The umbrellas on the stands instantly tipped over towards starting position number four.

"Chen Lang!"

"Navigator Shen!"

The third red light came on.

Shen Qingci's finger hovered over the terminal screen.

"Forty meters after the start, the water flows on the left."

"The drainage belt on the right side is available."

"At the first bend ahead, turn right three meters, then shift the entry line half a meter to the right."

Chen Lang pressed his right foot firmly against the electric switch.

"receive."

The fourth red light came on.

The hydraulic system locks the vehicle's posture.

The U9's left side is raised by six millimeters, while the right side is lowered by four millimeters, forcibly increasing the grip value of the right tire to the target range.

At the workbench, Paul suddenly braced himself against the edge of the table.

"Transverse load preset complete!"

The fifth red light came on.

The director displayed the scores of the first three cars firmly in the upper right corner of the main screen, and the U9's timer instantly reset to zero.

"three."

"two."

"one."

The red light is off.

Chen Lang kicked the electric gate to death.

All four motors unleash their terrifying torque in the same millisecond.

The U9 transformed into a black lightning bolt, abruptly tearing through the rain curtain and crashing across the white line.

The vehicle did not hesitate for a moment, and there was no unnecessary tire slippage.

All four tires gripped the asphalt firmly along the pre-set line, with the right tire precisely rolling over the drainage strip and the left tire skimming across the shallow water.

Just as the front of the car was about to lift up half an inch, it was instantly forced flattened by the Yunlian suspension.

On the track radio, the announcer's volume completely spiraled out of control.

"U9 officially launched! No initial acceleration loss! The motor torque fully utilized the flooded road surface in the very first second!"

The numbers on the speedometer were jumping wildly.

twenty.

sixty.

Breaking 100.

Shen Qingci's extremely calm voice drowned out the whistling of the motor.

"Turn 1, right turn 3."

"The flow on the left side is expanding, while the flow on the right side remains unchanged."

"The fallen leaves ahead are on the outer edge of the bend; don't cross the white line."

Chen Lang gripped the handlebars with both hands and quickly steered the steering wheel to the right.

The U9 boldly cuts into the first bend along the drainage strip.

The water layer on the left was violently pushed aside by the wide tires, while the right suspension absorbed all the lateral load.

The black car slid close to the apex of the bend, without even a single extra drop of water splashing out from its rear.

Shen Qingci kept a close eye on the dynamic data.

"Passed through the apex."

"There's water at the outlet; power will be provided after three meters."

Chen Lang remained completely still.

Once the distance exceeds three meters, the torque of all four wheels is fully engaged again.

Like a cannonball, the U9 roared out of the first corner.

The infrared beam at the first timing point swept across the carbon fiber body, and the green lights flashed.

[Looking up, U9 has passed the first timing point]

Current time elapsed: 1 minute 11 seconds

The entire departure area fell into a moment of deathly silence.

The host suddenly turned his head and stared intently at the timer screen, his voice hoarse.

"One minute and eleven seconds!"

"Four seconds faster than Red Falcon, five seconds faster than Silver Shark, and a full seven seconds faster than Purple Night Phantom!"

The cheers from the stands completely detonated the rain shelter.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments like an avalanche.

[Holy crap! 1 minute 11 seconds!]

[The landmines spotted by the first three cars were all avoided by Chen Lang and Shen Qingci, turning into acceleration boosts for the U9!]

[With zero error reporting and zero player loss at the start, these two are practically cheat codes!]

Shen Qingci quickly scanned the real-time segments of the first three cars.

"In the lead at the first timing point."

"The road surface at the second to fourth bends ahead has been completely wrecked by the car in front."

"Silver Shark left leaf debris in the middle line, and Red Falcon had deep-water wheel tracks at the exit of the third bend."

Chen Lang's gaze was fixed on the dark mountain road that was constantly approaching ahead.

"line?"

"Second from the right, followed by fourth from the left."

"At the fourth exit, there is muddy water flowing back in front of the outer guardrail. I will leave the car behind."

The U9 roared into the dark forest track.

The four race cars are now scattered at different points along the winding road.

The Purple Night Ghost led the second stage, followed closely by the Red Falcon, while the Silver Shark had just emerged from the first corner.

Looking up at U9, they are leading the charge into the darkness with the most terrifying first-segment score in the entire game.

On the right side of the competition system, the real-time catch-up prediction keeps changing.

[Current fastest ranking: Looking up at U9]

Shen Qingci flipped through the route book and pressed his finger against the entrance marker for the second stage.

"After Turn One, there are still eighteen turns ahead."

Chen Lang gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and pressed the accelerator pedal down again.

"Then let's surpass them one by one."

The rain ahead suddenly intensified, and the car headlights cleaved through the churning mist.

Shen Qingci's voice came through the communication channel again, reporting the codes crisply and accurately, without missing even the slightest change in the water flow.

After listening to her continuous corrections to the fifth bend, Chen Lang's lips curled into a nonchalant smile.

"That's a good report."

Shen Qingci gripped the terminal tightly. "Is this a confirmation?"

"I guess so." Chen Lang tapped the steering wheel lightly with his fingertips. "When did you learn that?"

"I stayed up all night studying the professional knowledge on the day I registered."

The communication channel was silent for half a second.

Chen Lang chuckled softly.

"No wonder he's a top student."

Shen Qingci looked up at the dark mountain road ahead, her voice still cold and clear.

"Stop talking nonsense, get ready for the turn."

"Received, Navigator Shen."
