Pokémon development strategy

"Wow, that's awesome." Hu Zang didn't expect this either.

After taking a couple of laps in the car, you can feel the changes in the engine, but you can't guess what parts have been changed, especially since this technology has been used less in recent years and Shen Qi is just a 16-year-old island boy.

"As long as you like it, it's worth my hard work." Hu Zang moved his arms, "I'm so tired."

"Well, the total cost..."

"I'll give you 1b."

"That won't do!"

Although the engine was bought by Shen Qi, Hu Zang modified the valve system and repaired the damage in various parts of the Lamborghini. The car shell was repaired in several places, the intake and exhaust pipes were all replaced, and the water tank was also replaced.

The cost is almost 1b, not counting Hu Zang's own labor costs, the labor costs of the two Pokémon, and miscellaneous expenses.

"Don't you only have 2b left? What if you pay it all?"

"Yesterday I received a 6b bounty from the police department."

"Oh?" Hu Zang raised his beard, "The total cost is 2b."

The starting price is 18000b which is not bad. It is estimated to be 1k per day for labor, plus miscellaneous material costs.

Shen Qi did not dare to complain at all, let alone use the "power of discount". Even if Hu Zang asked for 50,000b, he would pay honestly.

"Tiger Zang... Actually you don't have to rush, just take your time. I'll just be itching for a little longer."

"Ok?"

Such a casual remark stunned Hu Zang, and Shen Qi was also stunned, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"You... don't plan to participate in the spring competition?"

Originally, Shen Qi had little savings, and after repairing his car, he had no money left. He thought that while others would go to the spring season, he would go to the regular season and earn more money.

It would be better to participate in the summer season. Shen Qi already has a record of being in the top 3 of T10. What he lacks now is points.

After the winter season, Shen Qi advanced to the finals with 30 points in two preliminary rounds, and only had 10 technical points for the 4th place, for a total of 34 points.

It is still a long way from the certification threshold of 200 points.

If you get points in the T3 level event in the previous year, you can register for the T2 event.

Apprentice drivers can actually sign up, but the screening will be very strict and the ratio of places is very low.

In T3 level events, at least 50% of the places are reserved for T3 drivers, 35% for higher level drivers, and 15% for apprentice drivers.

Because T1 drivers basically don't come to play T3, there are vacancies, so the quota for T3 and apprentice drivers has been increased.

For T2 events, the number of places for apprentice drivers is basically less than 5%, and the organizers screen them layer by layer.

Ordinary fouls, such as accidentally blocking once more or flying an extra second or two, are fine, but serious fouls in T3 events are basically hopeless for apprentice drivers;

Drivers with poor skills or who violate professional racing regulations have no hope.

In addition, the organizers have to select drivers and cars with outstanding performances.

Xiao Mian Yang, Shen Qi, top 10 in winter competition.

These conditions combined should be enough to pass the organizer's screening.

Shen Qi will definitely participate in the T2 event. He has to go and experience it even if it costs nothing.

Spring season and summer season...actually you can participate in either one, they are both for practice.

For the purpose of gaining points, it makes more sense to go to the summer season.

"Do you really think so?"

When Hu Zang asked this question, Shen Qi knew that there was some problem with his plan.

"What...what happened?"

"The summer season is the summer solstice, the end of June, T6 in July, and T7 in August."

This period is simply a carnival for racing fans. The autumn season in September is not very intense, but there are still races to watch.

For drivers, it is unrealistic to participate in all of them, but choosing one is better.

If Shen Qi participates in the summer season, it will start at the end of June and end around the beginning of July, seamlessly connecting to T6.

"Do you think it's okay? Can we fix the car in time?"

"Hiss, I haven't really thought about it."

Let's take a step back and say that even if Ayaka's Yuhong University research team is there and the Rainbow Flying Sword is debugged in two or three days after the summer season, it can participate in T2, but what about Ayaka's personal condition?

It's definitely impossible to adjust.

In this way, it would be natural for Shen Qi to participate in the spring season, rest in the summer season, and then go to T2 to gain experience.

So Hu Zang was naturally working hard to ensure that Shen Qi could get the lamb as soon as possible.

It’s February already, and the spring season will start at the end of March.

The probability of brushing points in the summer season is high, but the reality is that after finishing the summer season, you will sacrifice the experience of playing T2 seriously. If you give up this year's T2, you will have to wait another year and a half.

"Then let's go to the spring competition."

If you don't go, it's like you haven't practiced in a T-level event for half a year, and your feel will deteriorate.

No matter how fierce the competition was in the spring season, Shen Qi advanced to two rounds, was eliminated in the third round and missed the finals, but he still got 10 driver points, which seemed okay.

"Really." Hu Zang sat back in the chair, "I will try my best to build your first generation engine before T2. Go and defeat the Rainbow Sword. Ayaka is just a poor child."

Chapter 424 Version Update

Mrs. Hua Jie opened her straw raincoat and went home. Shen Qi drove the scooter, thinking about Hu Zang's words all the way.

Hu Zang will build a new engine for Shen Qi within the next six months, and then defeat the Rainbow Flying Sword...

He wants to defeat the Rainbow Flying Sword and expresses sympathy for Ayaka.

The subject of Yuhong University is to build top-notch racing cars and machines, and the best racer will be chosen. Ayaka just happens to be the strongest experimenter.

Hu Zang's idea is completely the opposite. He wants to build a suitable racing car for Shen Qi and find the most suitable machine for him with the driver as the center.

Really defeating the Rainbow Sword means that Ayaka is no longer being put on the test bench and at the center of public opinion as a racing driver, which is actually her salvation.

The two sides have different standpoints. One side aims to build cars, while the other side focuses on the development of drivers, or the development of personality and comprehensive qualities.

There is no right or wrong, but there is a difference in the competition.

Outside of the competition, Hu Zang could not refute that there were problems with Yuhong University's research, and their research was correct.

By entering the racetrack, Hu Zang will be able to deny Yuhong University's racing methods.

Hu Zang once taught at Yuhong University. He wanted to offer a racing course but was rejected, so he left. Then Yuhong University started a research and development project related to racing.

It sounds like... if Toranomon had left later, he might have been a member of the same research team as Ayaka.

In fact, this is not the case. According to the research topic direction of Yuhong University, it is completely different from the racing driver personality that Hu Zang focuses on, so he will still leave.

"Spring competition, do your best!"

To defeat the Rainbow Flying Sword, Hu Zang pinned his hopes on the new engine that would be produced in half a year.

He and Shen Qi both knew that the current Gray Star engine was not good enough, and even with the added bonus of VTEC, it could not compete with the performance of the Rainbow Flying Sword.

In the winter finals, Ayaka was beaten up one after another by the strong opponents in front of her. Her buffs were dispelled, her characteristics were eliminated, and her attributes were affected in various ways. In the end, the Rainbow Flying Sword obviously had problems and could not hold the ground steadily.

Even so, it still managed to get 7th place based on the remaining performance.

Unless something happens to the Rainbow Sword again in the Spring Season, and the severity is even more exaggerated than in the Winter Season, the Little Lamb will not be able to defeat it.

"Half a year..."

In April, Ayaka was admitted to Gyokuhong University.

Not participating in the summer season, T2 will be her debut as a college driver.

Shen Qi wasn't sure what level he would reach in half a year, nor did he know what kind of engine Hu Zang would modify. He could only work hard.

Now!

In the yard, the long-eared rabbits greeted happily.

She and Miss Qun'er had just finished driving practice and were planning to participate in a regular season game recently. After they came back, registration for the spring season would almost begin.

"I... also have to participate in the spring competition."

Now?

The long-eared rabbit tilted its head and held its ears to its chest.

Shen Qi said before that it had not been decided yet, so it is not surprising that it is confirmed now.

Miss Qun'er came from behind the flower crown and listened to Shen Qi's strategic analysis.

"What kind of strategic analysis is this?" Shen Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I made a very simple mistake. After the summer season, I played T2 and had no time to prepare."

Yes!

Miss Qun'er was also startled, and she and Shen Qi looked at each other as if they were fools.

It's obviously a very simple truth, but the two drivers have no idea what it means.

It's outrageous, but also quite reasonable...

Whether it is Shen Qi or Miss Qun'er, T2 is a very distant thing.

Participating this year is really about experiencing the high-difficulty competition. Let alone advancing to the finals, I would be thankful if I could get points in the preliminaries.

I didn't have high expectations, I just knew that I had to give it my all when I participated, so I neglected the schedule planning.

"I'm going to... start practicing now."

'etc'

Miss Qun'er reminded Shen Qi that there would be updated rules in every new season and he had to understand the rules clearly.

After the winter season ends and the New Year, the Drivers Association announces the new season rules.

When in the Hoenn region, Miss Qun'er was determined to participate in the Spring Tournament, so she finished reading the rules early, but Shen Qi had not yet read them.

“There is actually a version update.”

Calling Duoduo, Shen Qi went into the room and started looking up information.

The new rules for this year on the official interface of the Drivers Association were updated in early January.

At the forefront is a severe punishment system for match-fixing and match-manipulation, involving clubs and drivers.

There is no new content in this section, but it is emphasized at the beginning every year.

Go down to the comparison table of the new and old rules.

The quota for the competition system has been adjusted. In the original T3 event, 50% of the quota is given to T3 players, 35% of the quota is given to T2 players and above, and 15% of the quota is given to trainees.

If you participate in the competition, you will know that the 35% T2 players are a devastating blow to the T3 drivers, and it is extremely difficult to get into the top 10.

所以，新赛季T3选手的名额提升到70%，剩下20%的见习、10%由T2级以上车手分。

Looking through the history, Shen Qi discovered that about four years ago, the T3 quota was 80%, leaving only 2% for T5.

You know, there is only one T2 match a year, so it is difficult for them to get points. If they participate in T3, their points will be halved, which is too harsh.

A few years ago, it was changed to T2 accounting for 35%, which was too big a step.

Now some of the adjustments have been made, and it is said that a second T2 event of the year will be opened for T2 level drivers.

There are two T2 competitions a year. To be honest, the intensity is already very high. Some T2 drivers will also participate in the T1 World Championship.

Finally, the skills aspect.

"Eh? Teleportation is banned!"

The Psychic skill "Teleportation", Lukia's Casey used "Teleportation" to escape from danger.

It was allowed in the early years, banned a few years ago, and released again this year.

The main problem is that it is difficult to impose restrictions.

Positional skills such as flying and floating can limit the take-off to 3 seconds before it is considered a foul. "Teleportation" gives 3 seconds, so you have to move endlessly.

This skill is a bit like folding space and shrinking the earth into an inch. When moving in the direction of the super power mark, it feels like moving 1 meter, but in fact you are already a hundred meters away.
