Chapter 64 Using Rain Tires
"I happened to have left some clothes at the production crew yesterday, and on my way back I saw an interview with this team. The host said they were the last to sign up, and they pulled someone in to make up the numbers. I think it's this girl named Shui Xindao on the field. She just turned 18 and doesn't even have a driver's license. Luckily, the rules for this first competition weren't strict, otherwise this team would have disbanded long ago."
Qin Ye also felt that they were right. They had professional coaches to train and guide them. How could a bunch of poor people with no money and power be compared with them?
But when his eyes swept across the rankings on the big screen, he felt like there was a stone blocking his chest, making it ache.
Second place?
Are you kidding me?
He represents the reputation of the Qin family in Rongcheng.
"This guy won't get far."
Qin Ye followed up with a look of gloom in his eyes.
It's just a super soft tire, nothing to be proud of.
But he remembered her.
He will make this girl remember the taste of failure on the racing track.

"Oh my god, you came in first in the first qualifying round." Zhao Xinrui gave a thumbs-up, but then became worried. "What tires will you use for the second lap ranking?" "No matter what tires you use, I'm afraid it won't be able to surpass the result of the supersoft tires."
Zhao Xinrui and others used normal soft tires in the first round, and planned to use neutral tires in the second round.
Wen Nianchu tapped his fingers lightly, lost in thought.
Although she couldn't remember who the champion was, she still remembered the biggest event that happened that year, which was the error in the Rongcheng weather forecast.
The first was that it rained a little in the middle of the second qualifying match.
The second was that it was a sunny day in the first half of the race.
In the second half of the competition, it rained heavily, affecting many players.
"Rain fetus." Wen Nianchu withdrew his thoughts and said lightly.
"What! Rain tires!"
"It's been sunny lately. This second qualifying race will determine the type of tires we'll use for the race. Are you sure you want rain tires?"
Wen Nianchu took a deep breath and suppressed his pounding heart:
"If you believe me, I suggest the whole team use rain tires."
"Okay, we believe you."

The top teams would draw lots again to determine the order for the next round. Zhao Xinrui suddenly said she needed to go to the bathroom, so she asked Wen Nianchu to draw lots on behalf of the team.
Wen Nianchu walked into the lottery hall, her mask still tightly covering her face.
Just as she walked towards the signing box, she caught a glimpse of a group of people coming in from the side door, led by Qin Ye.
"She is the female player who used the super soft tire in the first game!" Another person from Qin Ye's team came out together, saying that he wanted to get some fresh air. So the moment the other person saw Wen Nianchu, he immediately lowered his voice and spoke to Qin Ye.
The racer has been wearing a mask since the interview.
After all, the competition rules do not stipulate that masks cannot be worn.
Qin Ye's eyes were fixed on Wen Nianchu.
Is it her?
He saw her when he came out of the restaurant after dinner that day.
Those eyes are so similar to Wen Nianchu's.
After Wen Nianchu drew the number, he turned around and went back to the preparation room.
"Wen Nianchu." Qin Ye suddenly blurted out.
He stared intently at the figure that was gradually moving away, a kind of almost instinctive intuition clamoring in his blood—
That is Wen Nianchu.
Those eyes are so special.
She always has an innate arrogance, and disdain is revealed when the corners of her eyes are slightly raised. There is no one else like her in this world.
Unfortunately, the contestant named Shui Xindao did not stop at all because of his name and walked forward without hesitation.
"Brother Ye, why did you call Wen Nianchu? Didn't you say she wasn't in Rongcheng?"
"No." Qin Ye pursed his lips and his face darkened.
He is really crazy.
Calling Wen Nianchu to a strange girl.
Wen Nianchu seemed to be only fourteen years old at this time? He knew nothing about racing.
In fact, Wen Nianchu almost stopped when he heard the familiar name.

The system popped up at the critical moment and reminded Wen Nianchu.

"Welcome back to the King of Drivers Championship! Now underway is the second qualifying round—Q2. This race will directly determine the starting order for the race! Please note that eliminated teams will not be eligible to compete for the top five starting positions."
As several teams finished their races one after another, a tense atmosphere filled the air on the track.
They are almost there.
The number Wen Nianchu drew this time was relatively early.
Several people were a little nervous backstage.
The fat man was breathing in and out frantically.
The use of rain tires will put a lot more pressure on them.
The host's voice once again resounded through the broadcast:
"Let's focus on the track. Looking at the tire selection, most teams chose the medium tire, while some players still insisted on using the soft tire."
"Next up are the players from the Crazy Dragon team, who performed brilliantly last time. Their players all had fantastic qualifying runs in the previous round, so I'm curious how they'll perform in this second lap ranking. After all, our rules for this Car King Championship dictate that we must start the race on the same tires as we did in Q2."
This time, it was Wen Nianchu who came out first.
In the close-up shot, Wen Nianchu was putting on his helmet neatly and walking towards the racing car with steady steps.
"Wait!" Before the race even started, the host suddenly exclaimed, "Rain tires?! The Crazy Dragon team actually chose rain tires! This is unbelievable! According to the weather forecast, it will be sunny all day!"
The scene exploded instantly.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and many veteran car fans frowned.
After all, using rain tires on a dry track is like tying your own legs.
Although rain tires have strong grip, their speed will be greatly reduced.
“Look…?” Someone looked up in shock.
Just as Wen Nianchu started timing the first lap, light rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.
Raindrops fell on the scorching track, instantly creating a white mist, and the track became slippery at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"My God, they're even more accurate than the weather forecast."
"This is a lie. It's outrageous."
"I'll go."
"Wait, look at her grades!"
Shockingly, Wen Nianchu's lap time on rain tires was equal to her best time on supersoft tires.
The whole audience was in uproar!
what does that mean?
This means that the racer did not give his best when using the super soft tires before!
"We've all been fooled!" The host's voice trembled with excitement. "Shui Xindao has been hiding his strength this whole time!"
The whole audience was incredible.
Immediately afterwards, screams rang out one after another.
How powerful is the Shui Xin Sword?
Where is her limit?
Until the end of the second ranking competition, no one could surpass Wen Nianchu's result.
She is still on the list at number one.
Far ahead.
"Who is she? How can she be so powerful at the age of 18?" Qin Ye frowned and looked at Wen Nianchu who got out of the car and returned to the lounge.
