Chapter 601 (2/2)

That is right. Zhao Youyue had given herself a ridiculous amount of luck with those settings. This female racer was rubbish at driving, but she knew no fear. She ‘would never crash the car.’ Even the experienced male character would never ride shotgun with her!

If the main character drifted with art and technique, Zhao Xiaomei’s drifting was playing chicken with death and winning. It was almost like how a clueless girl trashes her car in a driving lesson, completely unaware of how close she had been to turning turtle or blowing up the gas station she just passed. That aside, you can’t deny that her methods worked! She was blazingly quick! Simple, rough and unreasonable!

After all, Zhao Xiaomei was far from poor! She had the cash to build a beast of a machine, as opposed to the main character’s Wulin Hong Guang. It was a heavily modified supercar from the world-famous Chinese brand called ‘Zhui Dian.’ Its doors even opened up like wings…

Nobody would even think of using such a car in a gritty, pure mountain race. However, who could stop the heart of a fearless female racer?

Chen Daxiu could not deny that he was experiencing a new sort of high. Drawing Zhao Xiaomei, the kind of female racer who was ‘simple and rough,’ ‘unreasonable’ and ‘forever seeking death but would not die’ was just too addictive. He might even be thoroughly entertained by his own story. He had never laughed at his own work before, not until now.

He had a feeling that a poorly skilled character, but instead had ‘max intuition’ and ‘max luck’ could complement the main character who had max racing skills. The contrasting extremes made for a fun pairing. Therefore, this cameo quickly became an important supporting role…

His readers were surprised at the appearance of such a female character. Who cared if she was poorly drawn. According to some of the readers, it was their first time seeing a hideous-looking dark-haired, rich lady. It was such a pity. Chen Daxiu, the truck driver mangaka had already used all his might to illustrate a beautiful Zhao Xiaomei. It could not be helped. He really could not illustrate humans.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiaomei’s car was awesome. It was the ridiculously powerful ‘Zhui Dian one:1’ [3]. There were only 99 of these in the entire world, and prices started from 20,000,000. Obviously, Zhao Xiaomei had not kept it stock. It was bright red in color and had lightning racing lines on its side. It was lightning in motion.

Chen Daxiu was, however, good at drawing cars. As popular and successful as he was, he still did not have the money to buy the limited edition ‘Zhui Dian’ car. He did manage to get near one, and had taken god knows how many pictures of it. Then, with great enthusiasm, he had reproduced those magnificent vehicles in his manga. He had even added modifications to their exteriors. He did not draw it for Zhao Xiaomei to drive, Zhao Xiaomei had simply given him an excuse to draw the car. When the racing began, the drivers would no longer be relevant in the picture.

At first, the readers did not realize exactly how recklessly Zhao Xiaomei could throw cars about. They even believed that she was a delicate and virtuous lady. After all, Lady Zhao was beautiful, classy dancer. She had even helped the main character with all sorts of problem in his life. When they saw her caressing the steering wheel… That’s not a car for kindergarteners!

Please, Lady Zhao. Stop showing off. I can’t cringe any further!
