Chapter 605 (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Hao went deep in thought. He had been driving for years now, yet he was nothing compared to his own sister. He resignedly accepted the fact.
His sister did not even slow down at the bends, but she did not gas it on the straights either. She lacked the daredevilry of an actual racer.
She may have her own reasons for maintaining such a steady speed. Regardless, races only cared about one thing – speed. If consistency won races instead, everyone could do it.
Zhao Hao started off with his history with Chen Yilong, eventually concluding with how they got down to the gamble that led to this. He went on to mention that nobody should even think of racing Chen Yilong’s boyfriend, “Xia Hai” if they do not even go past 100km/h down Mount Qilin.
Zhao Hao had no problems going slightly over 200km/h on an empty straight and absolutely no traffic. That was all the adrenaline he needed. Even with the slightest traffic, he would struggle to go past 140km/h.
After all, real life driving was nothing like racing sims. If you don’t touch 300km/h on sims, what’s the use of calling it a sim?
Nevertheless, these sims have never succeeded at their goal – to simulate real-life driving situations. They could never reproduce every racing variable. Of course, one might also learn by watching races on television, but it was nothing like the experience when watching a race in person.
“That “Xia Hai” has some potential! I thought that the Mount Qilin racing god could beat him – I even invested a huge sum in car upgrades for him. It evened the odds on their cars, but he still lost by a mile! How disappointing! How embarrassing!”
Zhao Hao had been rather confident in the Racing God even though his car could not be compared to Xia Hai’s. That man had such a doting boyfriend – a descendant of the God of gambling. Who knows what expensive secrets lay beneath the hood of his car. Such unofficial races were at times, dependent on the car’s specs.
On the other hand, the Mount Qilin Racing God already had a number of wins on Mount Qilin. He knew the track like the back of his hand. Even so, he still lost to Xia Hai.
Zhao Hao and Chen Yilong had watched the stream together. Xia Hai had been incredibly lucky to leech off Chen Yilong. He was a decent driver and had a considerable amount of courage. He did not throw his car about with flamboyant power slides – but he won nevertheless.
In the world of racing, the one who crosses the finish line first wins. Who cares if you had a massive lead at the earlier half?
