Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

"It seems Diamond is determined to win today's match. But can she really defeat the rising star who has recently emerged and defeated Oniface several times—Uratech?" Once the audience quieted down, the spotlight turned to Shining.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Duanyu immediately felt several oppressive gazes.

Shining stepped forward, turned to look at her competitors, slowly raised her right hand, extended her thumb, and slashed it across her own neck.

The provocative action left Qin Duanyu somewhat dazed.

Is this really the Sword Saint he knows? What happened to the gentle, considerate, and sweet girl he was promised?

Are you there? Let's go for a race.JPG

Did anyone see the "D speed" meme? It's really racing in every sense of the word (laughs).

Chapter 11, Section 289: It's not that we're going too fast, it's that we're flying too low.

"Of course, tonight's competition isn't just about these few contestants. The remaining participants are also incredibly strong, and winning the championship won't be an easy task," host Andy Ma continued, before introducing the remaining contestants.

Qin Duanyu glanced at the contestant on her right, who was called "Cheetah." The contestant was wearing a black, tight-fitting leather outfit that accentuated his alluring curves and a motorcycle helmet with cat ears protruding from it, giving him a bit of a Durarara!! vibe.

Her companion, dressed in a gorgeous evening gown, with a sun hat and a silver mask covering her face, looked like a young lady preparing to attend a masquerade ball, showing no sign of the tension that was about to occur in the race.

At the very edge of the group, there was a pair of Rupo tribe Gasakota who called themselves the "Pineapple Sisters." They looked very familiar. If it weren't for the fact that the Rupo tribe's tail fur color didn't match his memory at all, he would have suspected that he had run into some acquaintances.

Aside from the previously mentioned Oni-Faced and Diamond groups, these are the only other groups that seem like experts, capable of competing with Shining. The rest are not worth worrying about.

Wait, why was I dragged into this for no reason, and why am I acting like I'm agreeing to participate, and now I'm even starting to think about the strength of the opponent?

"Miss Shining, what exactly is going on?" Qin Duanyu hurriedly walked to Shining's side and asked in a low voice.

"Doctor, with your intelligence, you should be able to tell that this is the Lungmen underground motorcycle racing competition, right?" Shining pointed to the huge banner behind the host and said matter-of-factly.

Qin Duanyu had heard Croissant, who resells tickets, mention this competition. Apparently, it was an entertainment event organized by a big boss after he traveled abroad and was inspired by the Knights' Tournament in Kazimierz.

Although it's called "underground," it's actually a legitimate business registered with the authorities. Just like young people in my previous life enjoyed watching basketball, football, and e-sports, these highly stimulating and competitive games easily attract countless young people.

The owner, well aware of human nature, deliberately avoided any publicity, allowing the competition to exist only through word of mouth. Furthermore, the use of pseudonyms and disguises by all staff and participants added to the mystery and satisfied the audience's curiosity. As a result, this underground car race became famous in just a few years, becoming a secret that was hardly a secret.

"So what does this have to do with me?" Qin Duanyu was a little annoyed. If he were just an observer, he could accept it, but as a participant, recalling his experience on the way, he just wanted to get back to his ward and sleep.

"Because this competition is a manned race, neither Nearl nor Liz are suitable as partners. After thinking it over, only you, Doctor, are suitable," Shining explained somewhat helplessly.

Nightingale's physical and mental state certainly couldn't withstand such stimulation, and Nearl, as an opponent of knightly competitions, naturally harbored a resistant attitude towards this kind of competition where one is treated like a monkey, making them unsuitable as participants.

As for her other close colleagues... she really didn't want to ruin her image in everyone's eyes, and Qin Duanyu was the only suitable candidate.

Manned racing? Are you sure this isn't a race to rip people off?

Qin Duanyu couldn't help but roll her eyes, preparing to tell Shanling to find someone else.

Are you kidding me? His heart is still pounding. This is just a warm-up, as Shining called it. If he really gets involved in the competition, I'm afraid...

"The first place winner will receive a prize of 120 million LMD, which we can split equally after the victory."

"Ah, the long-awaited Fast and Furious! My blood is boiling! Why is that host talking so much nonsense? When are we finally going to start? I can't wait to feel the wind howling!"

……

After the host finally finished reading out the names of the extras, amidst the roar of engines, the contestants drove up to ** and turned to look at the countdown on the big screen.

3,2,1--

Qin Duanyu felt the world suddenly quiet down, as if all sounds had been left behind. If he could still see the afterimages of the surrounding scenery when he was warming up with Flash Spirit, now it was all a blur.

He silently opened his God's-eye view to check, and the situation was exactly as expected. In the first group where Shining was, there were only Ghostface, Diamond, Cheetah, and the Pineapple Sisters. The rest of the contestants had been left far behind and were basically out of the running for the championship.

"Oh, the competition among the top five teams is extremely fierce. Diamond tried to overtake on the curve, but oh no, she's been blocked by Ghostface and has to abandon that plan for now. The situation is not good." Andy Ma was commentating on the big screen, spittle flying everywhere. "I believe many veteran viewers have already noticed that their order is exactly the same as in the previous few races. Is this going to be the same as the previous ones?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Diamond made a move. The Sarkaz girl in the back seat first took out a tube, carefully connected it to the fuel tank, and then sprayed something into her mouth and breathed into the tube.

woo-

Diamond's motorcycle suddenly sped up considerably, like a rocket that had just been launched, with flames appearing in its exhaust pipe.

And this kind of operation?

Not only the players on the field, but even the audience was stunned.

"I'm sure you're all wondering, so let's invite the race's sponsor and organizer, Masked Tiger, to explain the rules of this race." Andy Mami, having piqued the audience's interest, quickly brought out a Felin tribesman dressed in a long robe.

Even viewers who had been watching since the very first match were unaware of the organizer's true identity. They could only vaguely discern his race by the tail peeking out from under his robe and the pointed ears protruding from his head, and they couldn't even guess his gender.

Some viewers even believe that these racial characteristics are deliberately displayed as a disguise in order to avoid revealing their identities.

“In the previous competitions, all the contestants have shown considerable strength, but after several rounds of competition, the rankings have become increasingly fixed, which is definitely not a pleasant sight for everyone.” The Felin cleared his throat and spoke in a voice that had been processed by an instrument, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female. “Therefore, we have introduced some variables.”

"In so-called manned racing, the person in the back seat is also a participant in the race and can provide assistance to the racer using their own abilities. And the Diamond racer's companion is obviously proficient in fire-based Originium Arts, which improves the fuel combustion efficiency, achieving an effect similar to liquid nitrous oxide acceleration!" Andy explained in a timely manner.

Besides eliciting a chorus of "Oh!" from the audience, they were also filled with anticipation for the performances of the other contestants.

Being chosen as a partner by these players doesn't mean they're just there as a mascot or accessory, their only purpose being to start the race, right? They must have their own unique acceleration techniques, just like that Sarkaz girl!

Just then, a completely useless mascot pendant, which was only used to meet the competition requirements, suddenly sneezed.

"Sorry, it might be a bit windy. Don't worry about me, just keep going!"

Don't ask if it's scientific; Terra isn't governed by Newton.

Chapter 12, Section 290: Everyone else is pretty good, so why are you the one who's falling short?

As an officially recognized racing competition, the motorcycles used by the competitors are subject to strict specifications. Any modifications that exceed the regulations will be considered cheating and disqualify the competitors, thus requiring a high level of skill from the riders.

However, due to the newly introduced rules, assistants can use their abilities to help the motorcycle run better, which is undoubtedly a case of each person showing their unique skills, adding a lot of variables and anticipation to the competition.

“Eve, is this uncomfortable? Should I slow down a bit? I’ve already blocked their way, they can’t overtake me.” Diamond, wearing a wrestler’s hood, asked without turning her head.

"Hahaha, Saria, this game is so much fun! Watch me, I can make it even faster!" To everyone's surprise, his companion behind him was excited and continued to increase the effort, making the motorcycle even faster.

"Whatever makes you happy." A doting smile appeared on the face hidden behind the mask.

With the doctor's help, she finally reconciled with Himer and climbed into that big bed again after a long time. Ifrit was able to live in a complete family, and everything was so happy and perfect.

However, besides the things we love to do, life is mostly filled with trivialities and mundane details.

For example, taking care of children.

After creating a series of hilarious mishaps that infuriated Himer and caused her to smash several drones, even though Ifrit claimed she didn't care at all, she was still deprived of the right to care for the children.

Two days ago, because Himer and White Owl had to go out for medical consultations, Rhine Lab couldn't find anyone to take care of Eve, so she was able to regain some time alone with Ifrit despite being a convict.

Subconsciously ignoring someone named Mei something, Saria summarized her experience while checking the parenting manual left by Himer.

Yes, the formula must be mixed with warm water before feeding Eve; you can't give her water first and then add the formula. Also, homework should only include addition problems up to 100; she shouldn't be given advanced math problems, and she shouldn't be punished for not being able to solve them…

The child was very obedient and completed all the tasks assigned by Himer. Now it's time for a reward. Himer said in the book that you should take your child out to play, preferably in activities that she is familiar with and enjoys, and she must feel fully involved. This helps to cultivate common language and deepen the connection between you.

So, Saria thought of her favorite motorcycle race. Only at such extreme speeds could her calm heart be stirred. And coincidentally, the organizers required her to bring an assistant, which perfectly met all the requirements.

It's an activity I'm familiar with and enjoy, and it allows Eve to feel involved, so bringing her to the competition makes perfect sense! Now, seeing how happy Eve is, Seria feels even more certain that she made the right choice.

Whoosh!

In that brief moment of distraction, something suddenly overtook them.

"Ghost Face! It's Ghost Face who's unleashing her power! Her companion is also a motorcycle expert, and she's using the high-speed rotation of the metal plate to generate powerful thrust!" Andy exclaimed in surprise, watching the scene on the big screen.

Before the competition started, many people noticed that the way Ghost Face's group rode in the vehicle was slightly different from other groups. Qin Duanyu and his assistants sat in the back, while the driver sat in the front.

However, perhaps due to their size, the petite assistant of the Ghost Face group sat in front, while she, being tall and strong with long arms and legs, sat in the back, which seemed to make things more convenient for her.

In retrospect, this was deliberately arranged.

Seeing that the Diamond group had revealed their hand, Ghost Face also stopped hiding her strength. She had her petite assistant drive the motorcycle, while she pulled out two propeller-like metal plates from under the motorcycle, put them together, and grabbed the handlebars in the middle to spin it wildly.

"Hoshiguma, as a member of the Royal Guard, how can you participate in this kind of underground competition? Don't you feel ashamed? I don't remember you being so short of money."

"Old Chen, thank you for your hard work, but the first place winner can forgo the prize money and exchange it for items of equal value. One of the prizes happens to be a rare, discontinued electric scooter, so I had no choice. By the way, all the procedures for this competition are legal."

"Damn it, I wouldn't have participated in this boring competition if you hadn't begged me. It's so pointless... *Longmen profanity*, how did that guy called Cheetah surpass us? Come on, give it your all!"

Seeing another motorcycle surge into the lead, with Diamond's motorcycle relentlessly pursuing from behind, the two members of the Ghost Face Group silently shut their mouths and quickened their pace.

"There haven't been any obvious changes in Cheetah's performance, so why has he suddenly become a force to be reckoned with?" Andy Ma aptly pointed out the audience's doubts. The partner chosen by this player who cosplayed Celtic didn't seem like someone who was there to compete.

"Everyone, please look at her partner's hand. Isn't there a blue halo around it? That's actually a manifestation of releasing Originium Arts. If I'm not mistaken, it's an ability related to manipulating liquids, which greatly improves the efficiency of the water cooling system, thus preventing the engine from overheating and losing its ability to function."

"Awoo!"

A wolf howl came from the speakers. It turned out that the Pineapple Sisters had also joined the competition for the championship. Their motorcycle had turned into the phantom of a wolf, chasing its prey closely behind, waiting for the right opportunity to overtake.

The wolf-shaped phantom is clearly not just a decorative element providing sound and light effects; it can also alter airflow, effectively reducing air resistance encountered by the motorcycle and transforming it into a propulsive airflow.

Wolves, go!

"My dear sis, this is crucial. If I can get the bonus, I can tear up that Rhodes Island contract!"

"Well, after all, you're exchanging the opportunity to be a doctor's assistant for it, so of course I, Lappland, have to lend a hand."

"I won't say thank you, I'll treat you to apple pie later!"

The two on the motorcycle said smugly, as if the championship was already theirs. But looking at their relaxed and carefree appearance, they certainly had reason to be proud.

"Well then, let's see what kind of amazing performance the Uratech players who have been left behind will deliver!" Andy gestured for the camera to switch to Shining at the very back of the team, and then exclaimed, "She...they didn't do anything, and her assistant really seems to be just an ordinary person."

Everyone else is pretty good, how come you're the one who falters?

Looking at Qin Duanyu tightly hugging Shining on the big screen, all the viewers had the same thought: why would a champion who had been in the same league bring a useless weakling to the competition?

"It seems that the Uratech player is extremely confident in her skills. Unfortunately, this arrogance also foreshadowed her defeat today." After confirming several times that Qin Duanyu had not used any Originium Arts and that Shining showed no signs of exerting its strength to catch up, Andy said regretfully.

Originium Arts? What's that?

I use my brain!

If Qin Duanyu could hear the host, she would definitely argue in this way.

He had already figured out a way to deal with these contestants.
