"If you can't drink it, we can give you room temperature water instead."
Which one do you need?
As she spoke, the woman waved to the person behind her and brought over a glass of plain water that had been sealed in plastic.
This completely stunned the eldest and second eldest brothers; they had never seen such a good thing happen before.
They had suffered this kind of loss many times before in Weidu City, taking things from others thinking they were free, when in fact they had to pay for them.
They're offering it for free now, and the two of them are still a little hesitant about whether to take it.
Not only the two of them, but the other audience members sitting next to them also looked at them with wary expressions.
After some hesitation, the eldest brother gritted his teeth.
"Really no charge?"
"Haha, you're joking. This is a service that comes with your ticket, and it's absolutely free."
"Then... get me a cup."
The eldest brother reached out and took the drink and straw.
After he started taking them, many customers around him also started shouting.
"Give me a drink."
"I'll have one too."
"Such a good thing?"
Soon after the lemonade was distributed in this area, the staff rushed to the next viewing area.
The eldest brother took a sip of lemonade, and his eyes lit up.
The sweet and sour chilled lemonade immediately won over his taste buds with just one sip.
The second son, sitting next to him, kept examining the cup.
"Wow, this stuff tastes really good!"
"It's even sweeter than our brown sugar water."
"Huh, this competition is giving this away for free, isn't that a huge loss for them?"
The eldest brother nodded in agreement from the side.
But it was this one action that made the two of them remember the Mixue Ice Cream brand.
I must go and buy another cup to try next time I go to the city.
After waiting a short while in the stands, the match soon began.
The two, who had absolutely no experience with racing games, immediately focused their attention on the competition after seeing the contestants take the stage and the host making various boasts.
As a competition, only the top four teams need to advance to the next round, and the match is a best-of-one (bo1) contest.
Even before the match started, the audience was already incredibly excited.
The two Wei brothers also stared wide-eyed, eager to see what the competition would be like.
As a racing competition, the eight-person race naturally attracts everyone's attention. Whether it's high-speed racing or anything else, the thrill of this kind of speed is definitely visually impactful.
Soon everyone was captivated by the atmosphere, and cheers rose and fell throughout the venue.
The Wei brothers were initially not interested in the game, but they were quickly drawn in.
After the first match, the two brothers were filled with emotion.
"Damn! That car is going fast."
"It's really interesting, but it's too expensive."
The two of them let out a long sigh.
These days, racing games cost two coins to play once, and you can't continue if you don't get a ranking, making them much harder than games like King of Fighters and Street Fighter.
Very few people would choose to play racing games.
But that doesn't mean people don't like racing games.
As the second race began, the audience cheered excitedly once again, ready to watch the second round of racing.
Meanwhile, in the VIP seats at the very bottom of the stands.
This is the closest spot to the contestants and the main stage. Lin Yifeng and Zhao Youming leaned back in their chairs, looking at the big screen in front of them.
The first two races left Ye Wuzheng, Zhao Youming, and their group extremely excited.
Ye Wu was rubbing his hands together, discussing with the people around him, eager to get started.
Wow! Racing is so exciting?
"Although it's a bit short, the racing is really captivating."
Zhao Youming nodded in agreement.
The entire process, from the start of the race to the athletes' preparation, takes only fifteen minutes, with the race itself taking only five minutes to complete.
Although the matches are much shorter than those in fighting games, the back-and-forth action during a match can definitely get your adrenaline pumping.
Qian Feng glanced at the players' seats not far away, then turned to ask the others.
"In which round did Lao Zhang play?"
"The fourth round, I guess."
Zhao Youming stroked his chin; he didn't know much about racing.
If they hadn't seen Zhang Guochen on the day the competition ended, they probably wouldn't have known until the end of the competition that Zhang Guochen had signed up for both car racing and motorcycle racing.
Ye Wu looked in Zhang Guochen's direction, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
"I watched it the day before yesterday. It seems like there's a dark horse player in Lao Zhang's group. He's incredibly strong."
"I wonder if Lao Zhang can represent us guys and make it to the next round."
The others all nodded in agreement.
Lin Yifeng, sitting next to him, smiled without saying a word.
Several people tried in the last competition, but almost none of them were able to make it to the offline finals.
Now that the third Dragon Cup is being held, Zhang Guochen has become the only person in their compound who can enter the offline competition, which has greatly boosted their pride.
Everyone admired Zhang Guochen's driving skills; at least in terms of racing, no one at Longteng Game Hall had yet been able to outdrive him.
Zhang Guochen was also considered one of the dark horses in this competition.
Of course, whether it was a coincidence or not, Zhang Guochen's group in the competition, where he advanced from 256 to 128, happened to be the group of the biggest dark horse in this competition.
While the group was chatting, the fourth match was about to begin.
Zhang Guochen and his group were the first to go on stage, while Ye Wuzheng and the others in the audience cheered loudly for Zhang Guochen.
