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

Exit at Bend 1.

The in-car footage left by the Purple Night Ghost transitioned to the main screen of the event.

The purplish-black front of the car pressed against the inner line, and the wide tires pushed away the accumulated water.

The gray-black muddy water crossed the road shoulder and rolled down the mountain gully.

The lights on both sides penetrated the water mist, creating intermittent bands of light on the slippery road surface.

On the right side of the screen, looking up, you can see the U9's real-time signal being synchronously connected.

On the same curve, at the same timing line, the two cars passed each other three minutes apart.

The race system retrieves the historical trajectory of the Purple Night Ghost, generates a semi-transparent purple virtual car, and overlays it onto the U9's real-time footage.

When the U9 cuts out of corner number one, the virtual car silhouette is half a car length ahead.

On the large screen in the commentary booth, the speed curves of the two cars were dragged into the same coordinate system.

The purple and silver lines are touching, and the value keeps rising.

"The Purple Night Phantom has taken half a car body away from the same position, and the U9 has not shortened the simulated distance yet."

The host stared at the data panel.

"Chen Lang's accelerator pedal is stuck at the critical setting; he's recalculating the road surface using the tracks left by the front wheels!"

The next stage.

Xiao Yunlong scanned the segment rankings on the instrument panel.

U9's first timing score is at the top of the leaderboard.

A seven-second gap loomed before him.

Xiao Yunlong gritted his teeth and pressed down on the accelerator with his right foot.

"It's just a slight advantage at the start."

The Purple Night Ghost accelerated along the center line of the track.

The exhaust pipe roared out a wave of heat, the wide tires cut into the deep water, and the rear of the car swung to the left.

The four-wheel drive system engaged, the front wheels regained grip on the road, and the front of the vehicle aligned with the curve ahead.

Xu Yan gripped the edge of the road book with both hands, her nails digging into the paper, her whole body pressed against the back of the seat.

She opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

At the mountainside, the U9 departed from the first bend.

Three minutes ago, the telemetry data left by the Purple Night Ghost when it passed through the second bend jumped onto Shen Qingci's independent terminal.

Tire slip ratio, suspension rebound, steering wheel correction, and body yaw angle are four sets of curves that unfold sequentially along the screen.

Before Turn 2 is a long downhill section.

Water accumulated on the mountainside overflowed the drainage ditch, crossed the white line, and rushed towards the center of the track.

The first three vehicles ran over the fallen leaves in succession, rolling them to the center line, and the water layer in the low-lying areas continued to thicken.

The host brought up an overhead shot.

"The water flows across the downhill section of Bend 2, and the deepest water is found in the low-lying area on the inside."

"The wide tires of the Purple Night Ghost, Red Falcon, and Silver Shark brought fallen leaves and mud into the apex of the corner."

"Chen Lang was the last to start, and while he was getting the data from the car in front of him, he also had to deal with the mess caused by the car in front of him!"

In the live stream room, accounts from the Star Glory Guild flooded in.

What's the point of being seven seconds faster in the first stage? U9 started last, the road ahead was already a mess, and they were stuck in mud the whole time!

[Driving in wetlands relies entirely on experience; avoid using the test track for staged accidents.]

While it's true that you can see data from the vehicle ahead if you're starting later, road conditions change every minute. Simply copying abandoned routes will only lead to an even faster demise.

[By the time he gets past Turn 2, that seven-second advantage will have been completely wiped out by the mud and water. Let's see how he manages to maintain his time then!]

Several girls clung to the safety railing at the edge of the stands's canopy.

Raindrops pattered down their hair and into their collars as they looked up at the intermittent car lights moving through the mountains, their fingers clenching tighter and tighter.

Longtime fans quickly typed on their keyboards and pushed the comments back.

What's the rush? We've just passed one tick.

[Navigator Shen is still updating the model.]

If Chen Lang really wanted to save time by going straight, he wouldn't have followed Shen Qingci's route at the first bend.

Brothers, I have a feeling that Lang Ge's U9 will overtake everyone else and take first place!

The fans of the Starry Guild immediately seized on this comment and lined up to follow suit.

[Were the guys in front still asleep? Long Shao was running a clean line ahead, while U9 was stuck in the mud the whole time. How were they supposed to overtake?]

If he can beat Long Shaochao tonight, I'll scrape the mud off the winding racetrack and mix it with my rice! I'll also chew on two windshield wipers as a side dish!

[Screenshot taken. The person above who's just trying to freeload, don't switch to your alternate account later.]

Inside the cockpit, mud and water splattered onto the windshield.

Even with the wipers on their highest setting, they can only clear a fan-shaped area.

Ahead, black fog obscured the mountain road. The yellow warning light at the entrance to the second bend lit up through the water curtain, only to be swallowed up by the muddy water again.

On the instrument panel, the torque curves of the four wheels fluctuate continuously.

Shen Qingci stared at the data terminal, the sound of code reporting passing through the whistling of the motor.

"The Purple Night Phantom has passed through the outer water layer, and the water depth is monitored to be eleven millimeters."

"The Red Falcon has changed its course to the center line, increasing the water depth to thirteen millimeters."

"The Silver Shark crossed the right side, with a slip ratio of 2.9, and the rear of the car deflected by 0.4 degrees."

Road surface monitoring data updated.

"The lateral flow has expanded."

"The water film on the right side is expected to be 15 millimeters. The wiring for the first three vehicles is completely unusable."

Chen Lang used his left arm to steady the steering wheel.

"Suspension".

Shen Qingci drew out the waveform graph, and three sets of data were superimposed.

"The Purple Night Ghost's right rearward rebound was slow by 0.03 seconds."

"Red Falcon actively slowed down, losing 1.2 seconds."

"The Silver Shark forced its way through, and the right front wheel slip ratio reached its extreme value."

She traced three abandoned tracks along the screen, cutting out a fourth silver line amidst the intersecting data.

"Crossing the water will push the rear of the car to the side."

"Move the entry point 1.4 meters back, avoid the low-lying area, and cut in from the outside of the Red Falcon."

Chen Lang tapped the outer rim of the steering wheel.

Write it down.

"It has been marked into the model."

Inside the commentary booth, the host stared at the newly updated live model of U9, his hands resting on the table.

"Shen Qingci has analyzed the abandoned data of the first three vehicles!"

"She combined the slip ratios, suspension loads, and real-time flow rates of each car to re-cut an entry line into the corner!"

"She's using the trial-and-error costs of previous attempts to calculate the current path!"

Switch to the replay of "Purple Night Ghost" on the left side of the main screen.

Xiao Yunlong slammed on the brakes, and the front of the car went into the inside line of the second bend.

The left front wheel slammed into a low-lying area, mud and water spilled over the roof of the car, and a gray-black curtain of water covered the mountain road behind.

On the right side of the same frame, in the U9 live camera position, a stream of yellow muddy water collapsed from the upstream slope.

The turbid torrent, carrying broken branches and rocks, blocked the entrance to Bend No. 2.

The black and silver U9 crashed head-on into the mud and water.

The windshield was sealed with gray-black mud.

The wipers were pushed to their limit, and the rubber blades rubbed back and forth in the mud. The gaps they created didn't last even half a second before the newly surging mud and water covered them again.

At the entrance to Bend 2, visibility drops to zero.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

[Real-time traffic conditions are worse than before!]

The entire mountain stream rushed down!

[The windshield is completely black; you can't see anything at Turn 2!]

[Quickly turn off the power, the guardrail is just ahead!]

The host stared at the telemetry data of the U9 pedal and raised his voice.

"Bracing pressure zero!"

"The throttle opening is still increasing!"

"The windshield is completely black, and the U9 isn't slowing down!"

Inside the Akatsuki GT3, the race broadcast switched to the water flow warning at Turn 2.

Meng Kai scanned the status of the vehicles behind him.

"The water flow at Bend 2 has been upgraded, and the U9 has been pushed in."

Lin Xiao gripped the steering wheel.

"The road there has changed since we passed through."

Meng Kai's Adam's apple bobbed as his gaze fell on the telemetry panel.

"U9 didn't apply the brakes."

Lin Xiao paused for a moment.

"Shen Qingci miscalculated by half a meter, and Chen Lang didn't even have room to correct it."

In the mountain road surveillance footage, the black silver U9 plunged into the muddy curtain wall.

The front of the car was swallowed up by gray and black, with only the taillights leaving a trail of red light in the downpour.

Inside the cockpit, mud slammed against the glass, the sound drowning out the roar of the motors.

Shen Qingci did not look up.

Her gaze was fixed on the data terminal, her thumb pressing against the edge of the terminal, and her breathing was a beat faster than before.

A series of fluctuating numbers were reflected in the helmet visor, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.

Chen Lang glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

The windshield was covered by mud and water, and the car was being pushed towards the guardrail by the lateral torrent.

Her hand remained steady as she read the numbers, her back pressed against the seat, her wrist adjusting its angle with the vibrations of the car.

Those eyes were fixed on the data, showing no sign of backing down, and even the pauses in his voice had decreased.

She was waiting for this moment.

When the road surface lost its shape, when everyone could only back up by applying the brakes, and when she pulled out the line hidden in the water.

Chen Lang raised the corners of his mouth.

When she emerged from the darkness in the rollover chamber that morning, her breathing was still labored.

Sitting in the muddy cockpit, she recorded every vibration in the model.

Shen Qingci spoke, her voice coming through the communication cable.

"Keep going."

"Entry point, twelve meters."

"Ten meters."

"The water flow comes into contact with the left front wheel, causing the suspension to preload."

Chen Lang tensed his left arm and blindly pressed the control buttons for the cloud chariot with his right hand.

The hydraulic system emitted a low, rumbling sound as it operated.

The left side of the vehicle body is raised, and the torque distribution of the four wheels is rearranged.

"Six meters."

"Four meters."

Shen Qingci's voice suddenly lowered.

"Fourth from the left, cut in!"

The command was given.

Chen Lang exerted force with his forearm, pulling the steering wheel into the target position in one go.

The front of the U9 vehicle bent at an angle in the muddy wall.

The left front wheel cleaved through the lateral torrent, while the wide tire on the right side gripped the virtual silver line marked by Shen Qingci.

The live stream was silent for two seconds.

The screen was immediately filled with comments.

[U9 really didn't turn off the power!]

[Can't see anything, just follow the turn signal directly?]

[The steering wheel didn't swerve even once, locking in the apex of the corner in advance!]

This isn't following another car closely; this is blind cutting!

Inside the repair area, Zhou Mingyuan slapped his thigh.

"The line is stuck!"

Paul stared at the main screen, not looking away.

"It's not over yet."

He pointed to the area leading out of the bend.

"The real danger is the lateral thrust when exiting a corner."
