Chapter 13 Big Eyes News
Ling Kang stormed over, pointing at the large numbers on the display board, and said:
"This is what you call your first run? You achieved a time I might never be able to run in my entire life, based on just one day of practice and one timed practice race?!"
"Otherwise what? Did I practice extra last night?" Wu Shi scratched the back of his head, pretending to be puzzled.
"You! You! You! Sigh! Never mind! You're a genius, really, I have to admit it. I, Ling Kang, actually have a day when I have to admit that someone else is a genius. Sigh!"
Ling Kang's anger turned into a deep sigh, but before anyone could comfort him, he immediately put his arm around Wu Shi's shoulder and said, "This time, you'll have to teach your little brother a lesson."
"Damn, seeing how arrogant you are, I thought I was your underling!" Wu Shi laughed.
"Haha, not at all, big brother, from today onwards you are my own big brother!" Ling Kang said with a smile.
Zeng Tianyi stepped forward and said, "Wu Shi, congratulations! You've secured pole position again."
Thank you.
"Who is that Ye Zhaohui?" Ling Kang asked, frowning.
"It seems to be a local driver." Zeng Tianyi was somewhat disappointed. He couldn't beat the driver surnamed Ye and finished fourth.
"By the way, big brother, do you know how to overtake?" Ling Kang asked, turning his head.
"I haven't had a chance to try it recently, but I probably will."
"Damn, what a show-off! Bro, you're not one of those drivers who's good at leading but bad at both offense and defense, are you?" Ling Kang retorted.
"Ahem! Now that you put it that way, I'll have to prove myself."
Wu Shi walked to the large map of the race track, pointed to the track and said, "Overtaking on this track is actually quite difficult."
At the Sanshui Circuit, Turn 1 is a right-angle turn, which presents an opportunity at the start, but afterwards, the only chance to turn around is on the straight.
However, the CKC race uses standard-issue cars that don't have features like DRS or batteries, so overtaking still depends on your skill in corners.
"The first turn has a wide line because there is a long straight after it, which is enough for you to adjust your direction. There is a left turn before the second right turn, so you need to take the left line, but you can pretend to cut the second turn from the right to lure the driver in front to defend, and then you can change back."
Wu Shi explained everything step by step, telling Zeng Tianyi what could be done at every bend of the track.
Yes, he knew that Ling Kang had brought up this topic most likely to get him to give guidance to this somewhat depressed companion, so he said everything he could.
Unfortunately, he hadn't paid attention to Ye Zhaohui before and didn't know the young driver's racing style. Otherwise, with his rich racing experience, he could have targeted him even more effectively.
"Fine, I don't believe this is your first time running this track!" Ling Kang shouted.
"It's certainly not the first time." Wu Shi thought for a moment and nodded.
"He confessed as expected!" Ling Kang's expression was rather comical.
"Including yesterday's untimed practice, this should be the second time," Wu Shi replied.
"Huh? Are you kidding me!" Ling Kang's face fell.
"Haha, Wu Shi, you really have a lot of talent," Zeng Tianyi said, his laughter a little dry.
Seeing this, Wu Shi knew that Zeng Tianyi still had ulterior motives. At this moment, he could not comfort him, otherwise it would be like a rich person giving alms to a poor person, which would be a blow to someone with a strong sense of self-esteem.
Therefore, he did not reply, but instead patted Ling Kang on the back.
"Don't I have one too?" Ling Kang immediately retorted.
"Uh, of course there are." Zeng Tianyi smiled.
"But I lost to you last year," Ling Kang snorted.
Zeng Tianyi was stunned for a moment, then remained silent.
"Alright, go back and rest now, and prepare well for tomorrow's competition," Wu Shi said, ending the conversation.
Back at the hotel, Wu Shi lay on his bed, pondering the debate between talent and hard work.
'What a pointless topic.'
After a moment's thought, he silently came to a conclusion.
sleep!
The following day, the Sanshui circuit was no more lively than the Pengcheng circuit. Apart from the drivers, there were only coaches, technicians and parents, and very few actual spectators.
Since there are few NCJ-A group riders at this race, it is indeed lacking in highlights if no collision occurs.
Throughout the preliminary and final rounds, Wu Shi led the pack, followed closely by Ling Kang. Ye Zhaohui and Zeng Tianyi had several exchanges, but none of them caused any changes.
As soon as the game ended, Ling Kang said to Zeng Tianyi, "Tianyi! You have to go all out on his inside game! What are you afraid of?!"
"I...I...I can't control myself," Zeng Tianyi shook his head.
"Tianyi, I remember the first time I met you, you were calm and serene, yet your attacks were sharp, with an air of complete control." Wu Shi didn't criticize what happened on the track, but continued:
"Everyone has their own style. People can only change their style voluntarily, and should not be forced to change their style by external forces."
Zeng Tianyi was taciturn.
"Keep it up. When I was in Shenzhen, I turned my head and saw your figure." Wu Shi patted his shoulder.
After the halftime break, the final match began soon afterward.
Wu Shi's consistency is beyond doubt. Starting from the front row, unless the car breaks down, no one can catch up with him.
Ling Kang was in some danger, almost getting cut inside by Ye Zhaohui at Turn 6, but it was precisely because of this struggle between the two that Zeng Tianyi quickly caught up and caught up with Ye Zhaohui.
Under pressure from behind, Ye Zhaohui no longer dared to attack and had to change lanes from time to time to block Zeng Tianyi, which further slowed down his lap time.
"That was fantastic!"
"Oops! The two bumped into each other!"
"The side collision was minor; they managed to keep the vehicle stable."
The final match was quite interesting because of the rivalry between the two.
Unfortunately, even as the checkered flag was waved, Ye Zhaohui kept Zeng Tianyi firmly behind him.
After the match ended, Wu Shi and Ling Kang prepared to go find Zeng Tianyi, but they couldn't find him.
On the contrary, Wu Shi was the one who got entangled.
"Hello! Little Wu Shi, I'm a reporter from Big Eye Media. I'd like to interview you. Is now a convenient time for you?" A woman in an office lady suit came up to him, half-squatting down to hand him the microphone.
"I'm busy, I need to see my friend." He turned to leave.
"Little boy, can I just take a minute of your time and ask you a few questions?" The older sister persisted, pulling him close.
The environment he was in at that moment was just like his mood—turbulent and turbulent.
He saw his father and Boss Chen approaching and tried to use this opportunity to break free, but Boss Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Big Eyes News? What brings you here?"
"Hello~ May I ask who you are?" The older sister looked up at the two of them.
"Hello, hello, I'm the track manager for the first CKC race in Pengcheng." Mr. Chen handed over his business card.
Seeing Uncle Chen's attitude towards the reporter, Wu Shi realized that Big Eyes Information seemed to have quite a high status.
"Hello, nice to meet you. And this gentleman over here, if I'm not mistaken, must be Wu Shi's father?"
"Yes, hello," Wu Zhenlin greeted.
"Oh my, they all look so handsome!" The older sister had a cute little dimple on her sweet smile.
Are you here to interview Xiao Wu?
Yes~
"Hahaha, great!" Boss Chen laughed, then leaned down and whispered in Wu Shi's ear, "Xiao Wu, do the interview first, I'll talk to you later."
