Chi Cheng followed the bluestone path upwards, like a picky human trafficker, scrutinizing every NPC he caught.

Unfortunately, he looked around the whole way but never encountered anything that truly caught his eye.

He's got good legs, but he's too old!

That guy looked pretty energetic, but when I asked, he'd only had two months of driving experience!

"This won't do, guys, the odds of finding a needle in a haystack are way too low!"

Despite complaining, Chi Cheng didn't stop walking and continued up the mountain path.

At least the driver's room can throw him three files at once, but if he goes out to find them himself, he really has to rely on his eyes.

There are people on the roadside and in the scenic area, but no one has "I am a genius" written on their forehead. We can't just grab someone and use up our reputation to take them for a test drive, that would be a huge loss!

Just as Chi Cheng was pondering whether to change direction, the sound of an engine came from the mountain road ahead.

The sound was not loud, and even sounded a bit old and dull.

Soon, a white pickup truck slowly drove down the mountain road. The vehicle looked quite old, and a red rope was tied to the right rearview mirror. It looked like a car that nearby residents usually used for grocery shopping.

Chi Cheng had only glanced at it casually at first, but soon his pace slowed down.

"Um?"

Ahead is a continuous downhill curve.

The first bend is not very sharp, but it is immediately followed by a hairpin bend, and then there is a narrow road that hugs the wall with poor visibility.

The white pickup truck wasn't driving in a particularly flashy way, but... this was a winding mountain road!

The car body slid down the mountainside, getting closer and closer to the hairpin bend that was almost 180 degrees, and its speed did not decrease at all!

Chi Cheng watched the momentum of the car entering the bend, and his heart was in his throat.

"Holy crap! Entering a corner at that speed?! Can they even brake?!"

The next second, the brake lights came on!

The front of the car dipped slightly, and the massive body decelerated before entering the curve, then the steering wheel suddenly cut in.

There was no panic, and no unnecessary corrections.

The truck bed, loaded with various supply crates, only swayed slightly due to the powerful inertia. The entire pickup truck hugged the mountainside, smoothly turning out of the bend in a way that Chi Cheng had never expected.

Chi Cheng: "???"

Before he could react...

There were two more sharp turns ahead.

The pickup truck remained remarkably stable! Despite being a large and cumbersome vehicle, the driver handled it as if he were already familiar with the mountain road, braking when necessary, accelerating when needed, and even controlling the shifting of the vehicle's center of gravity as it swayed from side to side with effortless ease.

A few seconds later.

The dump truck came to a steady stop on the side of the road. Chi Cheng didn't care about anything else and quickly walked over.

This is true talent! What does it mean to search high and low only to find it unexpectedly? He had never encountered this feeling before, even after looking at so many NPCs.

"Wait a moment!"

He chased after them immediately.

The white car stopped a short distance ahead.

Chi Cheng had already prepared himself mentally, thinking that someone who could drive so smoothly on such a mountain road must be an experienced driver in his forties or fifties.

As a result, after the car door was opened...

He was stunned. The person who got out of the driver's seat was actually a girl who looked to be in her early twenties.

She wore a simple, plain-colored long dress, with long black hair hanging down her back, and her skin was almost too white. After getting out of the car, her first reaction wasn't to look at Chi Cheng, but to look up at the sun in the sky, then she frowned slightly and covered her forehead with her sleeve.

When she realized that Chi Cheng was looking at her, the girl paused again and subconsciously took half a step back behind the car door.

Chi Cheng: "?"

This reaction... doesn't seem like that of a seasoned driver who's out driving all day.

Is this girl capable?! Everyone says... women only slow down driving!

But recalling his amazing driving skills just now, Chi Cheng still rubbed his hands together and went over.

"that……"

Chi Cheng tried his best to appear normal.

"Young lady, were you driving that car just now?"

The girl glanced at him, then at the car behind her, and nodded gently.

"Um."

Do you usually drive this mountain road?

Chi Cheng, like the wolf in sheep's clothing who lures Little Red Riding Hood, continues to coax and entice.

The girl nodded expressionlessly.

Good grief! Are you that socially awkward? Couldn't you say a few more words?! Does Jiang Bo charge you NPCs by the word count for voice acting?!

But Chi Cheng knew that trying to get close to this socially awkward NPC was useless.

【Ding! 】

[Should reputation points be consumed for target identification?]

"Identify! Whether you're socially awkward or not, I'll first see what your social class is!"

Focus your attention!

The next second, recognition successful!

[Candidate Driver: Lin Xia]

Age: 19

[Character Identity: A disciple left behind by the Ancient Tomb Sect]

[Character Profile: Having lived near ancient tombs in the Zhongnan Mountains since childhood, she has little contact with the outside world, possessing a simple mind and calm temperament. She occasionally drives down the mountain to purchase supplies and is quite familiar with the roads around the Zhongnan Mountains. Due to her long-term residence in a complex and narrow environment, she has excellent distance judgment, dynamic vision, and balance.]

Holy crap!

Chi Cheng's eyes began to light up when he saw this.

The Ancient Tomb Sect! A disciple left behind! That means he's a legitimate disciple! This person isn't some intern!

Did I really run into a hidden figure?

"This is a wild SSR!"

Chi Cheng rubbed his hands together excitedly, as if he could already see himself dominating the world league. He couldn't wait to look down and admire the driver's entry for this left-behind child.

[Driver Entry: Tomb Raider Girl]

[Effect: Due to living underground for many years, this driver suffers from extreme photophobia and severe social anxiety. If assigned to race during the day, on sunny days, or on tracks with dense crowds, all attributes will decrease by 50%. In extreme cases, the driver will actively use sun visors, sunglasses, or other means to isolate themselves from the external environment.]

Chi Cheng's lips stiffened.

Sure enough! I could tell at a glance that this girl had severe social anxiety!

It won't work during the day, it won't work when the sun is too strong, and it won't work if there are too many people.

You're a professional race car driver... but the more I look at you, the more you seem like someone who can only work night shifts? Do you have some kind of vampire bloodline?

But before Chi Cheng could even feel disappointed, a second entry appeared.

[Driver Entry: Jade Maiden's Pure Heart]

[Effect: The Ancient Tomb School's martial arts emphasize teamwork. When this driver participates in a two-car race with a driver of the opposite sex, their synergy improves significantly. If the synergy reaches the required level, the driver can gradually unleash their full potential and unlock special two-car cooperation effects.]

"puff……"

Chi Cheng almost spat out a mouthful of blood into the virtual reality pod this time.

Two-person teamwork? Opposite-sex drivers? Compatibility?

Upon seeing this, almost immediately one person popped into his mind.

Senior Brother! Qingfeng!!
