Lucine’s manager spoke with utter confidence.
"What the ’Five Gods’ represented in the racing world back then, Kyle and the veterans understood better than anyone.
Of course, when Lucine’s manager said these things, he wasn’t actually looking to invite Kyle to collaborate with them.
With "Deep Sea" on board, who would care about Lu You’s bit of fame now?
Lucine’s manager made this call purely to mock Kyle and vent his past frustrations.
However, Kyle didn’t react with the regret or shock the manager had envisioned; instead, he just chuckled nonchalantly and said, "If you’re done, I’m hanging up. I’m busy here."
With that, Kyle hung up the phone.
A parking lot on the summit of a mountain in Jin City.
Lucine was communicating with "Deep Sea." She was filled with awe for this legendary one of the ’Five Gods,’ and even deliberately softened her tone when speaking.
Seeing the manager approach upset and holding the phone, she asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"
The manager frowned, "It seems Kyle isn’t in a hurry at all... could they have some secret weapon?"
The last incident, although caused by Zhang Ziyi behind the scenes, damaged Lucine’s reputation as well, leaving the manager somewhat traumatized. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ noⅴelfire.net
Hearing this, before Lucine could speak, "Deep Sea" interjected, "Don’t worry. Unless they can persuade ’Hunter’ to come out of retirement, no one can surpass the heat of your live stream."
In this era of extreme internet advancement, online popularity had become an important benchmark for all major racing teams.
Especially since Lucine was about to turn thirty, her career also at a bottleneck, relying solely on racing would only decline year by year.
She urgently needed a transformation.
That was one of the reasons Lucine’s manager was so anxious about the heat of the live stream.
Upon hearing "Deep Sea’s" answer, the manager relaxed and chuckled twice, "Kyle is just too stubborn. He has two racers in his team who need to transform, and with that tiny live stream, Huaxia’s first live debut was crushed by Lucine. It’ll be tough for them to turn things around in the future!"
Lucine smiled, "Everyone has to pay the price for their bad decisions."
"Deep Sea" remained silent.
He had already gotten a simple picture of the events from Lucine and wasn’t interested in an ordinary girl from Huaxia.
However, as he looked at the racetrack before him, an image began to emerge in his mind...
What could "Hunter" be up to now?
Kyle watched as Lu You crashed over and over again, couldn’t help but cover his eyes.
Finally, when Lu You crashed yet again and returned to the summit, Kyle couldn’t resist scoffing, "You’re really clumsy. Coach Chi could do it effortlessly in a second, just look at you!"
To that, Lu You politely gave the finger.
The original plan for an afternoon interaction with fans switched to a car skill showcase, but due to unforeseen issues in execution, they had to wait two more days.
Chi Gui remained silent, admittedly feeling a bit disdainful.
When she had mastered this technique back in the day, it was purely through self-exploration. Now, she was teaching personally, and yet Lu You still couldn’t do it?
Lu You sensed Chi Gui’s disdain and wisely stayed away from her.
During dinner, he couldn’t resist complaining, "Really... This afternoon I relived the feeling of unease from when I used to get poor grades in school!"
Which provoked rampant, unsympathetic laughter from everyone.
Meanwhile, on Lucine’s side, thanks to "Deep Sea’s" appearance, the heat surged again.
Now, the biggest social platform in Huaxia, Weibo, was in an uproar.
[Look everyone, look! Your so-called ’Universe’s No. 1 Popular Racer’, Lu You, how has he been crushed by a female racer ranked only in the thirties?]
[From this, you can see just how heavy the hype surrounding Lu You’s racing team was back then, and just how inflated his popularity is.]
[To the person above, I just laugh. What does that have to do with Lu You? Isn’t it because that stupid manager was too arrogant, thinking any platform he signs would become globally famous, only to be smacked down by reality? Lu You is a victim, alright?]
[I agree... This is clearly the manager’s and that host’s fault, why should Lu You take the blame?]
