"【Connecting to the Tassius master database...】"

"【Chip analysis in progress...Darkness is a fear rooted in humanity's very being. Historically, no 'World Championship' has ever featured a competition entirely in complete darkness! The possibility of a dark version of the Wheel of Death competition is as high as 78%!"

"【Unable to know the track conditions, unable to perceive the route! In other words... this may be a major highlight of the 'Death Wheel Race'!"

"......"

On the bed, Number Two's eyes flickered with data, and he joined the three's discussion.

"oh?"

"If even the [chip] is guessing like this... then it's highly likely the competition won't be visible..."

"An invisible game?"

Zheng Hao stroked his chin, his eyes darting around.

If no one can see it, then there's so much room for maneuver!

"Let's continue our analysis..."

"This 'Death Wheel' race also involves 'wisdom' and 'cooperation,' meaning that a certain section of the track requires the 'navigators' to work together to leave?"

"Could it be some kind of level-based competition format?"

Yun Yang tapped on the remaining design concepts, and Zheng Hao nodded: "I guess so! Under the premise of [cooperation], everyone will still have to compete and scheme against each other..."

"That's really interesting!"

"Forcing people to cooperate on one hand, while simultaneously creating competition among them on the other?"

"What a contradictory combination! The person who designed the track is a genius!"

"......"

Having completed the analysis, Yun Yang put the file away and returned it to his pocket. Some information about the competition was confidential, and he was already being a very good friend by revealing this to Zheng Hao.

"so..."

"Is 'Death Wheel' just an unseen, dangerous race that combines challenges?"

"Damn it!"

"Thank goodness I gave up the match!"

"Otherwise... I really have no chance of trying to break through the level amidst a group of [perverted ship girls]!"

Yang Fan patted his chest sheepishly, his face full of relief.

"Tsk..."

"Anyway, Zheng Hao, be careful..."

"With your talent, sailing skills, and the strength of the Möbius Ring, I feel you have a chance to snatch first place in this race..."

"What we need to worry about now are the opponent's two [SSS-class ship girls]..."

"Let's review the recordings from the previous two World Championships to see what their abilities are..."

He hurriedly walked to the wall-mounted TV, found the USB drive, and connected it to the TV's port.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

After a brief flickering of the screen, a white light suddenly illuminated it.

"Welcome, viewers, to the 23rd Global Speed ​​Race - Finale! I'm your host, Chunluren! Our race track today is the [Gulf Green Hollow Race]..."

The screen showed a drone's overhead view, accompanied by the host's narration, depicting a sea area interspersed with green depressions, which gradually came into view.

The winding, azure sea carves a meandering path through the green depression, resembling an endless "S" road, stretching from the beginning to the end of the depression...

"Boom!"

On the field, more than a dozen ship girls swarmed past, bumping into each other in the narrow "S" track!

to be honest...

The viewing experience was terrible!

It could even be described as brutal!

Because this was a competition two years ago, there was no such thing as Zheng Hao's "ship skills" back then.

Many racing boats make ugly collisions with their opponents when cornering, and then twist their way through the corner.

A stronger ship girl can at least ram her opponent into a green puddle and use the friction from the opponent's ship to correct her course and turn. But what about a weaker ship girl?

With a "boom," it was thrown into the green depression, and no matter how the propeller spun, it had no chance of getting out.

"Well..."

"Let's fast forward..."

Seemingly noticing Zheng Hao's speechless expression as he watched the game, Yun Yang kept fast-forwarding with the remote control.

"Dear viewers! Dear viewers!"

"The last lap!"

"Charging towards us is [Windwing]! As expected of [Windwing], a ship girl renowned for her [speed], she's incredibly fast! So let's congratulate... this year's champion—[Windwing]!"

"Charging behind the Windwing is the Ivory, renowned for its resilience!"

"Wow, no wonder he's the legendary crash-resistant king! He crashed his way to the very end!"

"Third place goes to our [Unwavering] ship. It's truly remarkable that this ship girl finished the competition in third place! Is it possible that she can still make a run for a higher ranking at the last minute?"

"It's impossible!"

"Because ahead of him is the Ivory!"

"......"

As the host's excited voice rang out, the camera fast-forwarded to the end of the final "S" bend.

The finish line is just before the end of this bend.

"Puff puff puff—"

Leading the charge was a ship girl, entirely covered in white feathers and adorned with a pair of blue wings. With the continuous flapping of its wings, Zheng Hao judged that the ship's speed had already exceeded 220 revolutions per minute!

Hurry up!

Wow, that's fast!

Behind her was a large ship, entirely gray-blue in color. At the front of this ship, a pair of crescent-shaped tusks protruded, giving the entire ship a sense of indestructibility and the solidity of a city wall.
