Besides that, Qin Miao has also tallied the rewards issued by the system after completing various tasks. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ n0velfire.net
So far, there have been four Grand Prix races, and Qin Miao has participated in eight point races.
Among them, Qin Miao finished seven times, with six victories and one runner-up.
The performance is quite remarkable.
The system generally assigned Qin Miao tasks for every F2 race, specifically to convert pole positions into victories, earning one Free Attribute Point.
Qin Miao remembered a previous task "Supernova" also required converting pole positions into victories. Completing it granted two All Attributes points, and since then, the system has been stingy with rewards.
In addition, Qin Miao has a long-term side quest series: [Series Side Quest: Gain 10,000 Fans]
[Reward: Free Attribute Point *1]
It’s not that Qin Miao gains an attribute point for every 10,000 fans, but it increases exponentially.
According to the system’s statistics, Qin Miao currently has about 31,000 fans and has only received two Skill Points from this skill.
The new task is: [Series Side Quest: Gain 40,000 Fans]
[Reward: Free Attribute Point *1]
This skill is calculated on a 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 multiplier basis.
Up until now, Qin Miao has accumulated 8 Free Attribute Points. Adding the 8 he originally had, he now has a total of 12 Free Attribute Points.
Completing the Supernova task grants a two-point All Attributes boost. However, since Qin Miao’s Defense Ability is maxed out, these two points convert into one Free Attribute Point.
Thus, putting the total at 13 Free Attribute Points.
Strictly speaking, Qin Miao reckons his total score is already over 90, because the system didn’t count his two Passive Skills when calculating his Tire Management Ability.
If they were counted, Qin Miao’s Tire Management Ability would be 100.
After understanding what resources he had, Qin Miao didn’t hesitate to raise his Rain Combat Ability from 69 points to 80 by spending 11 Free Attribute Points.
This wasn’t a waste, because Qin Miao felt he had no innate talent for rain racing. Without the system’s help, he would have been stuck at 69 points forever.
After using up this batch of Free Attribute Points, Qin Miao only had 2 points left, but the results were gratifying.
Qin Miao was no longer a "landlubber," although without investing more Free Attribute Points into Rain Combat, he would remain at 80 points lifelong. Still, an 80 rating is adequate for F2 and even for F1.
Therefore, Qin Miao’s total score has reached 88.5, and his weakest area, Tire Management, has unexpectedly become a focus for many, regarding it excitingly.
Having upgraded his Rain Combat Ability, though not immediately apparent, Qin Miao believes he will eventually astonish everyone with his performance in a future rainy competition.
Qin Miao’s current personal ability ratings are as follows:
Qualifying Ability: 87
Main Race Long Distance: 90
Rain Combat Ability: 80
In the practice session, Qin Miao was fairly earnest. After all, Qin Miao’s sprint race mistake last week was partly due to an inadequate car setup, making it uncomfortable to drive.
Therefore, in this practice session, Qin Miao decided not to test the tires and to focus on finding a comfortable setup.
Qin Miao resolved that the order of priority for future practice sessions would be setup adjustments, tire testing, fuel testing, and then lap times.
At the end of the practice, Qin Miao roughly found the setup he wanted, but his practice results remained unremarkable.
Afternoon qualifying session.
Qin Miao returned to his comfortable rhythm.
He didn’t rush. Instead, he waited for other racers to leave the pit lane before leisurely driving out himself.
After others had left for about two minutes, and just as Qin Miao was preparing to go out for his warm-up lap, Sui Wentao, who was directing traffic at the pit lane, suddenly signaled Qin Miao to stop.
Qin Miao was confused, then heard over his TR, that a kerb at a corner on the track had come loose. For safety reasons, the race organizer decided to fix the track before continuing the race.
When asked when it would be fixed, the answer was uncertain.
The cockpit environment inside the car isn’t great. It’s fine when moving, but if idle, the heat from the car’s engine quickly transfers over, even in standby mode, raising the cockpit temperature to around 37 degrees in no time.
Qin Miao didn’t want to stay in the car, so he removed the headrest and got out.
People familiar with Qin Miao aren’t surprised by his unconventional way of doing things.
