Chapter 88 Special VIP
The most popular game of the PC competition. On the day of the competition, the entire racing yard was full and the VIP cabin was full of people.
The VIP cabin was condescending, like a giant flying saucer hanging above the rostrum of the arena. Before the game started, the middle position was still empty. Other VIPs looked at the empty seats in the front row and started to whisper and discuss.
"Old Wang, I heard that in today's competition, the royal family will send people. I don't know if it is Prince Yu or His Highness, Prince Nan'an..."
"You haven't read the news. Prince Yu visited Juguo yesterday and was enjoying cherry blossoms with Juguo Crown Prince Minren in Kyoto! He couldn't come... But every time the Prince of Nan'an had a competition with the Youguang Team, he would be there. Today, he, a loyal fan, would probably come to cheer for the defending champion!"
"Hehe! You don't know... The latest news I just got, the royal distinguished guest who came to watch the game today was His Highness Yu'an Gong who had just been promoted to the Duke!"
"What? The Crown Prince... are you saying the truth? Who told you?"
"Secretary General Geng of the Association of Automobile Manufacturers!"
The modernization reform movement more than a hundred years ago established the constitutional monarchy of the Donghua Empire. The subsequent industrialization began to rapidly strengthen the country's national strength and basically restored its former glory.
Although under the current system, the royal family is only a personification of the country and a target of loyalty to the people. The royal family also adheres to the principle of not interfering in administration and has fully won the love and admiration of the people.
According to domestic practice, one or two royal members are invited to attend at general large-scale events. The current Holy Emperor's third son, Prince Yu, and the Holy Emperor's nephew, Prince Nan'an, are both racing enthusiasts. The PC competition, both of them attended the most.
As for the Duke of Yu'an, he is the youngest son of the current crown prince, who is just ten years old this year. Among the people, this cute little prince grandson is the most popular member of the royal family.
When I heard that he was coming, the celebrities in the VIP cabin turned their attention to the entrance...
"His Royal Highness Jiale, Duke Yu'an, and Prince Nan'an arrived..."
Just over twenty minutes before the start of the competition, after a solemn etiquette proclamation, a young woman in a long dress led a little boy in a gorgeous dress. Behind them was a young man who was very familiar to everyone - Yin Juexin, the president of the Automobile Association of Automobile Association of Automobile Associations. Lu Entong, chairman of the organizing committee, and vice president of the Automobile Association of Automobile Associations, and others respectfully guided the two VIPs on both sides and welcomed the VIP seats in the middle.
Seeing the arrival of this noble princess, everyone calmed down for a moment, and did not dare to show off their anger.
This Princess Jiale is the eldest daughter of the crown prince. Before the Duke of Yu'an was born, she was the third heir of the serious successor. Even now, the Duke of Yu'an is ten years old, many people still believe that she should become the first queen in the history of the Donghua Empire.
Ten years ago, Princess Jiale rarely went out of the palace to participate in various activities. No one expected that the first social event after the Duke of Yu'an would be led by her to attend. But then she thought about it, it was actually nothing strange.
The crown prince is not in good health, the Holy Emperor is old, and after the crown princess died of dying childbirth, Princess Yu'an has always raised her younger brother as the eldest sister. Since it was the first time that the Duke of Yu'an officially made a debut, it was completely reasonable for her to lead it.
After the little duke sat down, he seemed a little excited. He refused to sit in his seat, and just stood and stomped on the railings, looking at the track below with curiosity.
"Xiao Nan, come here... sit obediently! Don't move around!" The princess gently pulled the little brother back and whispered.
The little duke asked anxiously: "Where is the car? Didn't it mean that who will drive fast to race? Why don't there be a car?"
When everyone next to him laughed when they heard him. However, on the one hand, the little duke was a child, and on the other hand, out of respect for the royal family, they didn't dare to laugh out loud even if they laughed.
"The race has not started yet! The drivers are all preparing, right below us, you can't see it here..." Princess Jiale shook her head helplessly and explained to him.
When the little duke heard this, he pouted in a desolate way and said, "I heard them say there are Transformers... You don't let me see it!"
"Xiao Nan, you are the prince..." Seeing this, Princess Jiale looked stern. Her serious expression made the little duke so scared that he didn't dare to show up. She immediately returned to her seat obediently.
Seeing this sibling and brother, it was like a mother and son, others couldn't help but sigh softly. They felt a little more admiration for the princess who raised her younger brother alone since she was sixteen years old.
At this moment, two foreigners walked in and saw the white-haired old man in the lead. Princess Jiale immediately stood up and greeted: "Teacher Steve, you are here! Please sit down!"
Steve, the god of car?!
This master, known as the number one in the international automotive modification industry, is a well-known figure in the racing industry. His experience is also quite legendary.
He has been an apprentice in his father's auto repair shop at the age of fifteen. He has never been to any higher education institutions, nor even a high school diploma. However, with his talent and hard work, he eventually became a big shot in the industry with five doctoral titles, three visiting professors at the top international science and technology schools, and an internationally renowned automobile design firm.
Moreover, he has always been tireless in teaching and has been all over the world. Not only has he trained many experts in automotive design, modification, racing, and even mechanical dynamics, mechanical engineering, and fluid mechanics.
When everyone heard Princess Jiale’s name to Steve, they immediately remembered. Princess Jiale is also a mechanical genius. It is said that she obtained a doctorate degree in mechanical engineering from Reedkot Institute of Technology through correspondence courses... In this way, her supervisor should be the "God of Cars" Steve!
In fact, the PC competition was already on the scene at the beginning. But the old man was low-key and no one recognized him.
After Steve and his daughter Rolina sat down, the VIP seats were basically full. At this time, the competition had entered the countdown stage. Everyone's attention immediately shifted to the track departure line!
Because in yesterday's group stage, Xunfeng Jiegao team formed by Gao Shang and An Ziqi ranked second in Group D. So today's departure position, An Ziqi was in the middle of the front row of the starting line, and was right next to Lu Baiyu, who was the first in Group A.
Gao Shang is the No. 2 car, and his position is right next to Yao Xiaoguang, the No. 2 car of the Yian Youguang Convoy. As the No. 2 car of the convoy, their starting position is relatively backward.
Gao Shang looked at Yao Xiaoguang's car through the car window, but found that Yao Xiaoguang was also looking at him. The two exchanged glances between each other through the car... Gao Shang could see that Yao Xiaoguang's smile was full of confidence. But there was no provocative element in this confidence, but it was a bit more friendly.
He also smiled at Yao Xiaoguang, but unexpectedly he rolled his eyes...
"What are you looking at! I haven't seen a beautiful woman before!" The second car of Hengfei Convoy was a young girl with short hair with ears. She accidentally turned her head and saw Gao Shang "snatching" at her. She was immediately annoyed and roared angrily.
The girl looks bad, but there are some shiny ornaments on her upper nostrils and even her lower lips, and she looks like a non-mainstream dress.
Although the engine sounds made by so many cars around were a little noisy, everyone could hear her roar clearly... It immediately attracted a burst of laughter.
Gao Shang thought that if her non-mainstream dress was considered a beauty, there should be no such thing as "ugly people make more troubles". Although she misunderstood, Gao Shang didn't care about retorting at this time... The game has entered the three-second countdown!
"Dou—Dou—Dou—"
After three sounds, with a snap, all the cars suddenly rushed out, and the competition entered a white-hot stage at the beginning.
The racing time is not long. You have to run a distance of 300 kilometers in just over an hour and surpass fifteen competitors to win the championship. You must enter the first echelon from the beginning to have a chance to win.
After being modified, An Ziqi's car instantly accelerated very high performance. It rushed out of the starting line while the fiat gun was fired and directly occupied the first place.
I have to say that the tactics used in the group stage gave her the best chance. The starting position on the left in the middle is better than Lu Baiyu. Originally, it was to take into account the fairness and viewing of the game, and give the most "weaker" team a little bit of the first-mover advantage.
With such a first-mover advantage and the explosive power of An Ziqi's car, the effect it has really caught Lu Baiyu off guard.
When he realized and accelerated to catch up, An Ziqi's car had already set a distance of one and a half from him.
But the competition between the first and second places is not the most attractive thing after the competition begins.
With his perfect driving skills, Gao Shang actually threw away more than a dozen cars and rushed into the first echelon after arriving behind. Yao Xiaoguang's car followed closely behind, and the fierce competition between the two teams actually started the first between the No. 2 car.
Seeing Yao Xiaoguang's car followed him all the time, Gao Shang showed a hint of relief at the corner of his mouth. His car was also modified by Gao Shang. In addition to Yao Xiaoguang's driving skills, the performance of this car is also very important.
However, Gao Shang did not care about Yao Xiaoguang's close-fitting follow-up. His eyes were always staring at Yian Youguang No. 1 car not far ahead!
Lu Baiyu!
Gao Shang’s real goal is this despicable and shameless guy. Since he promised to let An Ziqi defeat Lu Baiyu, it is not just about winning!
Chapter completed!
