Chapter 611 (2/2)
…
On that day, Lady Jia Zi’s live stream had been tremendously successful. She had given them quality footage of a real-life “Goddess of Drift.” She had slain the new King of Mount Qilin!
That’s right. That single race had been enough for the internet to call this mysterious female racer the “Goddess of Drift.” The very next day, footage of her wild drifts went viral!
Readers of “Fast Track: No Limits” became extremely agitated. Some of them screamed out chants like Lady “Zhao Xiaomei” and so. Only she could be so gutsy and disgustingly fast.
Nobody without a deathwish would even attempt to pull off such stunts. This woman was mocking death. How does one hit those speeds without rolling over?
Some enthusiastic readers had even recommended this video to the author of “Fast Track: No Limits,” Chen Daxiu.
Chen Daxiu was no slouch. He was constantly on the move, at the scene of various races to get firsthand experience of motor racing. Some awesome readers had actually matched the actual races that were the source of inspiration for some of the races in the manga.
Of course, Chen Daxiu often emphasized on the most exciting part of racing – the overtakes. His renditions of them would be exaggerated, of course. After all, his manga characters were flamboyant and over-the-top. Each main character seemed to possess his or her unique technique…
As a writer, Chen Daxiu was very much aware of how reality differed from fantasy. Therefore, when the readers recommended the video clip to him, he had not expected much. He had always thought that his readers often fussed over nothing.
He had clicked the video lazily, not expecting much. One of the first things he noticed was that it was a rather short video, only 8 minutes or so. Even so, the view count and comments had flooded the page!
He started watching the video, slightly intrigued. The beginning of the video was already flooded with comments and cheers about “worshipping the Goddess of Drift.” Fortunately, they got out of the way during the action. They simply floated at the top border of the window…
When Chen Daxiu watched the cars ripping up the first bend, his heart stopped. As the author who had created the female character “Zhao Xiaomei” with his own hands, he was suddenly highly convinced that he had just witnessed the real Zhao Xiaomei in real life!
If not, how else could he explain such a situation? That’s exactly how he had pictured her in his mind! That’s her trademark wild drifting!
It only took a few minutes for Chen Daxiu to transition from sheer boredom to a state of utter alarm. When he saw someone spamming the name “Zhao Xiaomei” in the bullet curtain, he felt vaguely smug. How great it was to have his character be mentioned alongside such a real-life legend.
This video clip had appeared at the right time. His character rode the waves and became highly popular. This was always a good thing. Also, he had to know more about this mysterious female racer…
Little did he know that the biggest winner of all would be his “fan,” Lady Zhao.
Zhao Youyue may not find much practical use of this card, but it was good enough for her. If she ever discovers a work that would serve her well, she could use it as a sacrifice. Obtaining a highly popular card was always good, but it would never take the place of an icon.
