Everyone at the Mercedes team was smiling, and under the lens of the team photographer, this scene of everyone gathered together was finally captured.
The team photographer gave a thumbs up to indicate the photo session was over, and everyone cheered.
Then Qin Miao saw Hamilton shooting out like an arrow, and just as Qin Miao was wondering why Hamilton was running so fast, he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness. In the next moment, he found himself being lifted up by others.
Although he didn’t see exactly who lifted him, Qin Miao vaguely guessed their identities.
After that, Qin Miao was suddenly tossed into the air by these people.
Having long been accustomed to the sudden sense of weightlessness, Qin Miao often experienced this feeling during car racing.
However, experiencing this feeling without the safety of a monocock shell made Qin Miao feel a brief moment of panic.
Because he was used to feeling weightlessness within the shell, suddenly being outside gave Qin Miao a fleeting sense of insecurity.
But as Qin Miao landed, the uneasiness in his heart eased a bit.
Of course, the team obviously wasn’t going to let Qin Miao off easily; they tossed him up and down five or six times before they finally stopped.
After Qin Miao finally found himself on solid ground again, he realized why Hamilton had taken off in such a rush after the photo session ended.

After the celebration ended, the team began packing up; the race was over, and it was time to go home.
The next race was the Portuguese Grand Prix, in two weeks, so after this race, Qin Miao would have a comfortable break to rest.
Packing up the team’s equipment had nothing to do with Qin Miao. After packing their own belongings at the hotel with Qimeng, they headed straight to the airport with the help of a local Mercedes dealer and arrived in the UK an hour later.
This time, Toto had matters to handle in Italy, so Qin Miao couldn’t hitch a ride on the plane.
Although Qin Miao’s relationship with Hamilton was quickly warming up, Hamilton also couldn’t take Qin Miao back due to his own commitments.
Qin Miao was too laid-back; after all, he was now an F1 driver, and a Mercedes team F1 driver at that, with substantial commercial value.
Many luxury brands or companies wanted Qin Miao to endorse their products, attend events, and accept television interviews.
The offers came in, each higher than the last.
But without exception, Qin Miao refused them all.
Although keeping a low profile could indeed create a sort of scarcity marketing strategy to boost Qin Miao’s commercial value.
After all, rarity often drives value, but many people saw this move as a failure, as the additional commercial value gained this way couldn’t compare to the income from actively participating in events.
Of course, nobody knew that the main reason Qin Miao avoided these activities was sheer laziness and a bit of social anxiety.
After getting home, Qin Miao enjoyed a cozy night’s sleep, and the next morning while lying in bed playing on his phone, he opened his system interface.
Even after becoming an F1 driver, although he still had daily rest periods, these were not long and were quite fragmented.
So naturally, while in work mode, Qin Miao didn’t have the time or opportunity to explore what good things the system awarded him after a race victory.
[Congratulations, task completed]
[Task completion rating: Excellent]
[Reward: Random golden skill]
[Congratulations on obtaining the skill: Flood Beast (Gold)]
[Active skill: Flood Beast (Gold): Lock onto a driver in front, continuously applying pressure, which doesn’t decrease and increases with lap speed and probing attack frequency until the driver is overtaken or makes a mistake under pressure.
Pressure levels depend on the opponent’s mental attributes, and the pressure value for the selected target driver is visualized.
Pressure level: 10%, the target driver might misjudge gear shifting timing
Pressure level: 30%, the target driver might make a wrong brake balance choice
Pressure level: 50%, the target driver is likely to experience a significant lap time drop, miss braking points, or brake early
Pressure level: 80%, the target driver may spin, run off track, focus on one area to the detriment of others, etc.
Pressure level: 100%, the target driver is very likely to crash.
Skill cooldown: Starts from overtaking the target driver, total cooldown 20 minutes]
This skill counts as Qin Miao’s first golden skill, and its effect is utterly world-class amazing.
With this active skill, there’s no driver Qin Miao can’t overtake; no matter how strong your defense, once I’m behind you, you can’t fend off my attack.
In fact, if you defend for too long, you might even encounter danger.
Meanwhile, Qin Miao also received another reward.
A world map appeared on Qin Miao’s system, and because he won a race in Imola, the small dot representing Imola was lit up, and at the same time, Qin Miao gained a golden lottery opportunity.
