"Puff puff puff—"
One charged forward at high speed, while the other almost blocked all the road from behind.
In the current situation, Zheng Hao couldn't imagine how the "Unwavering" ship could have won two years ago, before "ship skills" were even widespread!
but...
That's exactly the time!
Something unusual has happened!
"Puff puff puff—"
The Windwing, which was rushing forward at high speed, was indeed pointing forward, and its speed was correct!
But suddenly, without warning, she stopped abruptly and then accelerated rapidly backward!
"Puff puff puff—"
The unexpected scene left both the host and the navigator completely dumbfounded!
"What...what's going on?!"
"The finish line is right in front of us!"
"Why...why is the Windwing turning around?!"
Boom!!!
Amidst the horrified cries of the Deerman, the Windwing was sent flying backward and crashed into the Ivory. Its stern was pierced by the ivory and became lodged on the Ivory, where it remained motionless!
As for the Ivory, after a ripple from the collision, it was originally going to ride straight towards the finish line of the race, pushing against the Windwing...
"Buzz—"
Indeed!
Strangely, her sail tilted, and the entire boat veered towards Green Hollow at an angle!
"Pfft—"
After the massive ship crashed into the Green Hole, it continued to thrash and writhe forward until the entire ship was completely submerged in the Green Hole and did not move an inch further!
"Puff puff puff—"
Because of the strange behavior of these two ship girls, the track ahead suddenly became brightly lit and unobstructed. The third-place ship, "Unwavering," inexplicably surged to first place without any risk... and then won the championship!?!
"......"
"......"
Silence fell over the competition venue.
After a brief silence in the video, the pure deer-man stammered, "Let...let us congratulate...congratulate the world champion...the...the Unwavering Number!!!"
"Thud—"
The first video recording has ended.
In the bedroom, Zheng Hao and the others stared at each other for a while before Yun Yang turned to Zheng Hao and asked, "What... do you think?"
"Well..."
"Why do I have this feeling that the [Unwavering] has the ability to make people lose their sense of direction... no, or rather, to become disoriented and upside down?"
Zheng Hao touched his chin.
This situation...
Didn't some racing games exist on Earth in my previous life?
In the [Item Race], after being hit by certain 'items', the car enters a chaotic state. If you press the forward key, you will move backward, and if you press the left key, you will move right! This kind of 'reversed' design is not uncommon.
In the scene, the Windwing and Ivory appear to have entered this state.
"right..."
"I think so too..."
"【The Unwavering Ship】seems to possess the ability to reverse the user's actions..."
Yun Yang nodded, his brow furrowing. "But... what are the conditions for her activation... that's unclear..."
"Does it mean we have to fall behind others before we can start?"
Yang Fan interjected, and Zheng Hao's eyes flickered, neither confirming nor denying.
"【Analyzing the Tassius mastermind database...】"
"[The possibility of a completely reversed setting is extremely high! But... it might be much more than that... We lack sufficient information about the Unwavering Ship to proceed with further analysis and judgment at this time...]"
Number Two blinked. "Zheng Hao! Number One must still be hiding some ability... However, she's now certain that it does indeed possess the ability to perceive directions in reverse..."
"Um..."
"I think I understand..."
"Next one..."
Not wanting to engage in pointless speculation, Zheng Hao glanced at Yun Yang, who then pressed the remote control to fast forward to the second match.
"Dear viewers!"
"Welcome to this year's [World Championship Grand Finals]! I'm your host, Xiao Heizi! The venue for this year's [Grand Finals] is located in the romantic Aegean Sea, and the track is shaped like a heart..."
Fast forward to the earlier scenes, and Yun Yang knew that Zheng Hao looked down on the skill competitions of previous "Finals" tournaments, so he simply dragged the progress bar to the end.
"Puff puff puff—"
"Puff puff puff—"
In the final section of the Love Track, only two boats remained. One was the Steamboat, billowing steam, which, by continuously burning steam, pushed its rotation speed to nearly 260!
One of them was the [Sword Star], which was silently following behind her.
Oh my god!
"The champion! Who will win the championship?! Who will ultimately win...?"
As Xiao Heizi explained, the Steamship began to boil, steam surging as it accelerated, trying to widen the distance between itself and the Swordstar once again.
Can!
"Buzz—"
It's here!
here we go again!
After that familiar, eerie, flickering frame...
Both boats on the track have disappeared!
This scene only lasted for about four or five seconds...
Then, with another "buzz" of frame-by-frame footage, the [Steamship] was found parked in the same spot on the track where the heart-shaped finish line was supposed to be, riddled with holes and damaged, while the [Swordstar] appeared several hundred meters ahead of her!
With a radiant, star-like glow, it broke through the red rope and won the championship!
