Chapter 71 First Place
When he was talking excitedly, the voice in the headset made him switch to the scene on Qin Ye's side.
The host had to turn his attention to Qin Ye, who was currently in first place. Just now, Qin Ye applied for a tire change.
"Dear viewers, we saw ONE Team's ace athlete Qin Ye suddenly slow down! He's asking the tournament organizers to change to rain tires!"
Qin Ye gripped the steering wheel tightly, and the sound of raindrops hitting the windshield became more and more frequent.
As he was temporarily in the lead, he made a decision the moment he saw the heavy rain falling.
In this level of heavy rain, it is impossible to drive without changing to rain tires.
He decisively drove the car into the pits, glancing in the rearview mirror at the Mad Dragon Team, which had been left far behind. Changing tires only took a few seconds, and he didn't believe Shui Xindao could overtake in that short time.
"Contestant Qin Ye has finished changing the tire and is starting again!"
The newly replaced rain tires had plenty of grip, and Qin Ye stepped on the accelerator hard.
But at this moment, the car in front kicked up sand and gravel, which mixed with rain and stuck to his windshield.
“…”
He heard the sound of his teeth grinding.
anger?
No, more of excitement.
He likes the challenge.
The wiper scraped a clear gap, and Wen Nianchu's taillights were there, like a provocative badge.
He smiled, adjusted his breathing, and let his heartbeat merge with the roar of the engine.
"bring it on."
He said to himself.
He knew that the contestant named Shui Xindao would not look back, she was concentrating on her own track.
But he will let her know that this game has never been her one-man show.
There is still one third of the journey to go, which is enough.
It is enough to turn him from a pursuer into a surpasser.
Rainwater streamed down the windshield, but Qin Ye's eyes were unusually clear. He tightened his grip slightly, the steering wheel seeming to become an extension of his will.
Surpass her.
This is not a choice, but a necessity.
There is no word "lose" in his life dictionary.
"Contestant Qin Ye is closing the gap. His rain tires are highly adaptable, and he seems to be cornering faster than Shui Xindao!"
The host also became nervous and was explaining the whole process to the audience outside the screen.
Wen Nianchu naturally also saw Qin Ye's car lights getting closer and closer in the rearview mirror.
She sneered.
Want to surpass her?
It seems that Qin Ye's pursuit ability is much stronger than she imagined. From this point of view, once he bites her, it will be difficult to get rid of her.
She had to use the next series of turns to completely widen the distance between them.
"Shui Xindao from the Crazy Dragon Team is starting to pick up speed! She's taking a more aggressive line in the S-curve!"
Qin Ye stared intently at the operation of the car in front:
"Want to get rid of me? It's not that easy."
He suddenly downshifted and stepped on the gas, and the car instantly burst out with more power. At the moment of exiting the corner, he stuck to the inside and almost brushed the guardrail, narrowing the gap again.
The rain was getting heavier and the visibility on the track was getting lower and lower, but the two men did not slow down at all.
You chase, I chase.
"It seems like Qin Ye is catching up pretty close right now! So, in this match, will Team ONE ultimately surpass Team Kuanglong?"
The host's voice rose.
He looked at the data off the field and it seemed that ONE team had a slightly higher popularity vote.
“Look!”
The assistant next to the host exclaimed, pointed at the picture on the screen, and covered his mouth in disbelief.
"Drifting! Oh my god! It's drifting!" The host was stunned for a few seconds, then practically roared, "In the pouring rain, on a track as slippery as a mirror, this athlete actually pulled off this god-level maneuver that only exists in theory. This isn't a technique anymore, this is art!"
————I am the dividing line
Qin Ye's entire world was focused on the constantly shaking red taillight in front of him.
Closer and closer.
He could even imagine the other driver's tense nerves at the moment.
Just when he was about to find a gap to overtake, the red racing car turned on its brake lights without warning!
"Want to force me to slow down?" Qin Ye sneered. He had already expected that the other party would defend.
However, what happened the next second was beyond his understanding.
The car actually drifted in the heavy rain!
It's not a loss of control, but an active drift accurate to the millimeter!
The car body slid into the inside line like a ghost in an almost horizontal posture, perfectly blocking all his routes.
She pushed him from the inside to the outside.
This is not defense, this is a declaration of war!
Qin Ye's mind went blank, but his body instinctively slowed down. He watched helplessly as the red arc gracefully passed through the rain, leaving him far behind.
“Damn it!”
Qin Ye was so angry that he slapped the steering wheel with one hand.
His anger stemmed more from his underestimation of the enemy.
He underestimated this woman.
So he stepped on the accelerator and tried to make up the gap on the straight.
Up ahead, Wen Nianchu's car slowed down again.
This time, Qin Ye did not hesitate at all. He predicted that the opponent would defend again and made preparations early.
But he was wrong.
The opponent did not defend, but used a slowdown to set a trap for him.
When he thought the opportunity had come and was about to overtake, the car made a delayed brake before the curve!
It was a braking point so late that it was almost impossible to successfully enter the corner, but he cut in steadily at a tricky and weird angle.
In an instant, Qin Ye understood everything.
From drifting to blocking the position just now to slowing down to lure the enemy now, she has been using psychological warfare!
She calculated that he would be angry, impatient, and would seize every flaw that he thought was an opportunity.
"She... did it on purpose, deliberately seducing me?!"
This thought was like a bucket of cold water, completely waking him up.
But the game is over.
He could only watch Wen Nianchu rush to the first place.
*
In the Internet cafe, everyone stared at the screen for a long time, unable to come back to their senses.
The host on the screen is passionately explaining:
"It turns out that contestant Shui Xindao deliberately slowed down just now because she was fishing. She was using herself as bait to lure Qin Ye into her attack range."
"This is simply a psychological battle! It's a psychological battle that only top racers understand! Contestant Shui Xindao not only won with her technique, but she also completely shattered her opponent's psychological defenses!"
"Qin Ye finally reacted, but it was too late. Wen Nianchu used a gorgeous performance to tell us who is the real Rain God on this track!"
…
After the host's last words.
The crowd surrounding Xie Yue's computer suddenly fell silent, and then in the next second, they burst into deafening exclamations.
"Win?! How is this possible!"
"No, is there someone behind this Crazy Dragon Team working at the weather forecast?"
"It makes my blood boil, I'm going."
The classmate grabbed Xie Yue's shoulders and jumped up excitedly when he saw the Crazy Dragon Team win:
"Fuck! Drifting, blocking, and delayed braking—she can do it all! Fuck! I declare Shui Xindao to be my goddess."
