Chapter 121: Chapter 120: Solve in Ten Minutes
A young man dressed in a simple black T-shirt and blue jeans walked down, sweeping his gaze over the crowd before finally settling his shiny black eyes on Chi Gui.
Walking up to everyone, the youth politely extended his hand to Chi Gui, “Are you Sister Chi? My name is Xu Yan, Brother Lu sent me. He had some urgent matters and couldn’t come today.”
Chi Gui’s expression remained calm as she shook his hand, “Hello.”
“Just, just you alone?” Chi Mingkun glanced behind the young man, feeling his mentality about to collapse, “Didn’t your Brother Lu tell you it’s best two out of three?”
Xu Yan grinned, not worried in the slightest, “He did, don’t worry, I can handle it by myself.”
Hearing him say this, Lin Ziyang sneered coldly, “Are young people these days all so ignorant of their own limitations?”
They were normally among the elite in the national racing circles, yet they had never heard of this youth. It was clear to them that he was just a rookie who knew nothing about racing.
What a waste, giving such a good engine to a kid .
“Forget it, forget it, I thought we might meet a somewhat interesting opponent!” Lu Chang, who was rather portly, waved his hand dismissively, “Boring, let’s finish the race quickly and go back.”
Xu Yan glanced at Lu Chang, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm in his tone, “Uncle is right; let’s aim to finish in ten minutes. My time is very precious.”
Lu Chang gave Xu Yan a look, shook his head, and said nothing as he returned to Zhang Ziyi’s team.
Lin Ziyang and Zhang Ziyi also returned to their team.
“Let’s start then,” Chi Gui said without any fuss.
“Sure thing!” Xu Yan returned to his car, drove it to the starting point as instructed, and lined up beside Lin Ziyang’s car.
Lin Ziyang gave Xu Yan a sidelong glance.
Originally, he had thought of being a little lenient since the opposing team was just some kids, but since they were so arrogant, there was no need for him to be nice.
At the signal, the cars of Xu Yan and Lin Ziyang shot out rapidly.
Lin Ziyang’s car instantly took the lead.
Seeing this, Chi Mingkun immediately turned to a teammate and said, “Qi Yuan, get ready, you’re up next. I’ll take the last turn.”
Seeing the number one engine in the Racing World perform worse than a regular modified car, he had lost all hope.
“Me?” Qi Yuan suddenly turned pale with fright, “Ming Kun, you’ve got to be joking, at my level… going up there means certain defeat!”
Chi Mingkun felt utterly dejected, “Besides me, you’re the best we have. If not you, then who?”
Chi Gui paid no mind to the bleakness in Chi Mingkun’s team; she took her phone to one side and answered a call. Lu You’s sunny voice immediately came through, “Sister Chi, did that kid arrive?”
“Yeah,” Chi Gui responded flatly, “Who’s that kid?”
“A prodigy we’re preparing to sign for our team this season,” Lu You’s voice had a hint of arrogance, “Although he’s still far from my level, he should have no problem trashing those noobs.”
Her mind eased upon hearing this.
Lu You’s team was internationally known as the “All-Star Team,” with each driver, whether in terms of fame or skill, ranking first in global indices.
If the team noticed that kid, then the outcome of this race was a foregone conclusion.
After finishing the call with Lu You, she put away her phone and returned to Chi Mingkun’s team. Google seaʀᴄh novel·fıre·net
A downhill race usually takes 3-5 minutes; by now, Xu Yan and Lin Ziyang’s cars should be close to reaching the finish line.
Soon, the communicator from the bottom of the hill relayed the news, “They’re down, I can see both cars now, the one in the lead is——”
Chi Mingkun didn’t even feel like listening, urging Qi Yuan to get in the car, “Hurry up, it’s almost time for…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the communicator exclaim in shock and disbelief, “It’s the Lamborghini!! My God!! Lin Ziyang’s car is nowhere in sight!! How far behind did he get left?!!”
