Mom didn’t stay in Italy for long, just three days.
Mainly because Qin Miao’s life was already on track, with morning training, afternoon simulator sessions at the Ferrari factory, and then more practice at home using the simulator Ferrari provided, leaving only the evenings to spend time with family.
But being in a foreign country, the three of them were a bit hesitant to go out in the evening, mostly just taking walks around the Ferrari employee dorms.
With not much to do here, Qin Miao’s mom, after the novelty of the Ferrari factory wore off, went out traveling.
To Qin Miao’s great annoyance, his mom didn’t want to travel alone, so... she took Qimeng with her.
That’s right, after confirming the relationship between the two and observing Qimeng for a while, Qin Miao’s mom had completely accepted her daughter-in-law.
Qin Miao’s mom noticed Qimeng often didn’t have much to do, either studying or being bored, so she decided to take Qimeng, the translator, on some famous European tours.
Leaving Qin Miao home alone in disarray.
I have something terrifying to tell you, please don’t be afraid.
You might not believe it... my wife... was lured away by my mom.
Of course, having been an 18-year-old homebody, Qin Miao naturally wasn’t short of entertainment and, having never experienced much luxury life, could spend most of his boring times on gaming.
No, after all, Zhou Guanyu, who was also in Europe, was single too, and they would play CSGO together after training every day.
In fact, because they played frequently, learning strategies and using tools, within two months, they broke into the top 100 ranks in FPL.
However, reaching this level, they found it extremely difficult, having to concentrate fully on every game, unlike those top professional players who could still breeze through playing at this level in FPL.
This didn’t mean their talent had reached its limit, but rather they didn’t have more time to hone their gaming skills, and under limited leisure time, they could only reach this level.
And once they realized their capabilities were just at this point, they boldly shifted focus to rediscovering the root purpose of gaming: "joy."
After that, their ranking started diving at an astonishing speed.
In a short half-month, they were kicked out of the league by FPL for inadequate performance.
But they didn’t mind, as they had already added most of the professional players who regularly played in FPL as friends.
Time passed in this calm yet tumultuous daily life.
The external environment around Qin Miao’s house was top-notch; Ferrari did a great job in landscaping, and pulling the curtains open revealed lush greenery outside the window, which turned to all gold with the passing of time.
Qin Miao switched from short sleeves to long sleeves, and outside, the weather began to become increasingly rainy.
Lately, Zhou Guanyu hadn’t been playing games with Qin Miao as much, as he was intensively preparing for the final race of this season’s F2, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on November 29, which was also the final race of this year’s F1 Grand Prix.
As the year-end approached, Qin Miao’s work also began to increase; the Ferrari F1 team noticed that Qin Miao’s performance on the simulator was improving, becoming faster, and since he had the title of a simulator driver and had free afternoons, they asked him to help test new parts on the simulator.
Thus, the leisure he once had every afternoon for at least two hours turned into a nine-to-five routine.
Moreover, as Qin Miao became an official simulator driver of the Ferrari team this way, he met many members of the Ferrari F1 team’s management and senior engineers, and got familiar with Bi as well.
Qin Miao had no complaints about this lifestyle, in fact, he enjoyed this kind of structured life, and was thrilled to test new parts for the team in the simulator, as he could build his expertise using Ferrari’s simulator.
It’s worth mentioning that Qin Miao’s skills gave him a big surprise.
Since the Ferrari simulator was after all just a simulator, the data obtained by the staff could only serve as a reference, and they couldn’t guarantee the actual effectiveness once installed on the car. For original chapters go to novelFɪre.net
But Qin Miao could reference the proficiency level based on an original lap of the SF90, and compare it with the proficiency levels given by the new parts installed by Ferrari to judge the simulator’s data accuracy.
Because Qin Miao repeatedly pointed out which parts had data issues, he helped Ferrari save a lot of time and, as a complete rookie with no actual racing experience, earned the position of a Ferrari simulator driver.
During this nearly four months, Qin Miao accumulated a total of nine Purple Lotteries, just one short of having a full set of ten, which would provide a massive boost to Qin Miao’s abilities.
The Purple Lotteries were earned from the Hockenheimring, Hengelo, Monza, Marina Bay Street Circuit, Sochi Autodrom, Suzuka Circuit, and Rodriguez Brothers Circuit.
