Chapter 602 (2/2)
“Zhao Xiaomei is a f*cking lunatic! She could hardly tell the pedals apart, but she has heart. Bloody impressive. She is simply one of a kind! It was so hilarious watching the experienced main character scream for life in Zhao Xiaomei’s car!”
“This female character had totally exemplified Chen Daxiu’s malice against female racers. How much disdain does he feel for female racers?”
“How did you even get there? I think that Master Chen Daxiu is very fond of this character. Anyone else who drove like Zhao Xiaomei would have crashed and died. She could not even tell her brake apart from her accelerator, and nothing happened to her. She’s the Balder[1] of racing…”
“Zhao Xiaomei doesn’t give sh*t. She’s basically doing parkour on wheels. Anyone who watches her races would be scared shitless. If such a female racer existed in the real world, God help us!”
“I like how she befuddles the main character in like every single one of her appearances! I am looking forward to the next development. Who knows, her blind intuition might just outpace the main guy’s technique and skills!”
…
Needless to say, readers loved her. Comic relief characters were always a welcome sight, especially in otherwise serious or repetitive series.
Chen Daxiu grew more passionate as he drew. How tragic things would get when he picks the pen up one day, only to find that this inspiration had deserted him!
All creators had their bad days. Sometimes, they would be utterly convinced that they would be unstoppable – this fuel would last them a lifetime. They often forget to take into account the fact that humans were vulnerable to fatigue. As they get closer to the end, they would run out of juice. It’s a tragedy.
The creators could not be blamed. This was due to Lady Zhao’s meddling. She rarely finished up after obtaining what she came for.
That’s right. The ‘Zhao Xiaomei’ highly-popular character card had been produced. In terms of personality, she did not have much to offer. People remembered her for her racing!
It was still unclear as to what extent the card would affect Zhao Youyue in real life. We could be certain that she would never experience a car accident, ever. She could race to her heart’s content, and her body would automatically adjust the speed of the car to a borderline safe limit. Her body would also know what to do, by intuition. Others might think that she was being plain suicidal. Zhao Youyue would be in her comfort zone.
However, Zhao Youyue would not see much use of this card. After all, she did not like street racing. She had a chauffeur of her own. If anything, this could be another sacrificial offering. She could use it to earn an iconic character from another world…
Zhao Youyue never expected to actually have a reason to use this character card. Apparently, her cousin Zhao Wei was up to another one of his lousy ideas and needed a talented racer!
Editor’s Note:
[1] (This was not in the original RAW, Tonicquill just felt that it was an apt comparison. The RAW simply said that she had the power of not crashing.) Balder, Old Norse Baldr, in Norse mythology, the son of the chief god Odin and his wife Frigg. Beautiful and just, he was the favorite of the gods. Most legends about him concern his death. Icelandic stories tell how the gods amused themselves by throwing objects at him, knowing that he was immune from harm. The blind god Höd, deceived by the evil Loki, killed Balder by hurling mistletoe, the only thing that could hurt him. After Balder’s funeral, the giantess Thökk, probably Loki in disguise, refused to weep the tears that would release Balder from death.
