An Unexpected Ending
Xia Fei did not have complete confidence in his hovercar, and it was already on the verge of breaking down. As for when it would break down, only God could tell.
The engine compartment was a mess, and judging from the sound, there were at least a dozen potential problems. Logically speaking, the smartest thing to do in such a situation was to stop and check, to prevent something bad from happening.
However, Xia Fei did not do so. He had done a simple calculation in his mind, and the chances of a serious accident happening and lasting until the end of the race were both fifty percent.
In his opinion, a fifty percent chance was worth taking a gamble. If he won, it would be a blessing from the heavens, and if he lost, he would not have any regrets.
The hovercar charged wildly onto the track, the sound of the engine exploding like thunder, making everyone feel fear.
This kind of extremely shocking sound was quite a good weapon. The hovercars in front were afraid that hovercar 99 would suddenly explode, so they did not do their best to stop Xia Fei.
Since there was no way to stop this madman behind them, they might as well just let him go. In any case, only the champion would be rewarded, so it was not worth the risk for so-called glory.
Xia Fei has made it to eleventh place again! This is his highest rank so far in this race, and there are only two rounds left. Can Xia Feis advance any further? " As Xia Fei threw himself back into the race, that red-haired commentator used his passionate voice to announce to the audience once more.
In fact, it was not just him; practically everyone in the audience was going crazy over Xia Fei's second attack.
The champion would always be praised, but there were times when a racer who did not win the championship but still gave an exciting performance to the audience would also receive heartfelt love from the audience. After all, the championship was always reserved for the minority, and the majority were just playing the role of a supporting character.
Sixth place! Xia Fei has already made it to sixth place! Not good! Hovercar 0 has already caught up from behind. As expected of the Twin Headed Dragon team that has won five consecutive championships in the Star Region. Most of the racers have already been lapped by them. Do your best, Xia Fei! Don't get lapped by the Twin Headed Dragon team!
The young red-haired commentator seemed to have forgotten his identity, only thinking about Xia Fei. His identity as a commentator required him to be outside of the competition, analyzing and observing it from an independent point of view, yet he was completely immersed in the match as if he were Xia Fei himself. Those who did not know better might even think that he was related to Xia Fei.
In front of Xia Fei were 73, 21, and 194 from the mechatronics division. The three hovercars coordinated very well, with Nie Wei's 73 leading the way, while 21 and 194 worked together to prevent Xia Fei from overtaking them.
They had already entered the penultimate hairpin turn, and it would be the last lap of the race once they were out of that hairpin turn. Xia Fei already knew from the command deck that Bai Ye's 201 hovercar had already made it through the hairpin turn and was about to enter the tunnel.
If Xia Fei wanted to overtake Bai Ye, who was in second place, he would need to complete the long run within the continuous hairpin turns, closing the gap between him and Bai Ye, and then have a showdown with him on the final lap.
Anyone who has ever driven a car knows that it is very difficult and dangerous to overtake a car on a curve. It is already so for ordinary cars, let alone on a racing track.
Moreover, the people in front were all experienced racers, so the three hovercars formed a small team, sharing a common enemy.
The moment a hovercar revealed an opening, its partner would immediately fill in the gap, preventing Xia Fei from overtaking them.
Xia Fei very calmly adopted a tailing strategy, sticking close to 194, maintaining a distance of several dozen meters as he looked for an opportunity.
All of a sudden, after making a turn, 194 revealed an opening on the outside because the angle of the turn was too small.
Xia Fei did not hesitate to step on the accelerator all the way, charging right past it. His hovercar was less than a meter away from the concrete fence, and even the slightest mistake would cause him to crash into the fence.
Racing hovercar 21, who was in fourth place, realized that its partner had made a mistake, so it hurriedly turned its rudder to move to the outside of the road, hoping to fill in the gap.
Xia Fei had already suffered once, so there was no way he would give him a second chance.
Xia Fei saw that the front of his hovercar was about to collide with the back of 21's hovercar, but he had no intention of backing down, continuing to charge forward.
Xia Feis reckless approach had given the driver of the # 21 hovercar quite a fright, and he could not care less about the gap he was in. He swerved the rudder in the opposite direction to avoid the reckless Xia Fei.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei's hovercar 99 smoothly overtook hovercar 194 and whizzed past hovercar 21's body.
"That's great! Xia Fei has overtaken two hovercars in one go and is now in fourth place. In front of him are Nie Yuan's 73 and Bai Ye's 201. There's only one lap left in the race. Will a miracle happen? The red-haired commentator excitedly exclaimed.
Xia Fei could already see the rear lights of 73 when his hovercar came out of the turn, and they were within a hundred meters of each other.
This passage connected the first and third levels of the venue in a straight line. Xia Fei used the advantage of his hovercar's speed to quickly close in on 73.
Nie Yuan knew very well that he would not be able to stop Xia Fei by himself, so he might as well let Xia Fei pass and let him have the final showdown with Bai Ye. There was no need to offend this reckless lunatic Xia.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He gently moved the rudder to the side, creating a path for them to pass. He muttered to himself, "Damn my bad luck. I've been overtaken by two new students this year."
Xia Fei's fiery-red hovercar sped past Nie Yuan's hovercar. Nie Yuan caught a glimpse of Xia Fei giving him a thank-you gesture from the corner of his eye.
He helplessly waved his hand, which meant, Hurry up and leave. I'm already feeling depressed enough today.
After three frantic laps of driving, white smoke was coming out of the engine compartment again, and the temperature of the ion engine had gone out of range once more.
Xia Fei glanced back from the corner of his eye, gritted his teeth, and firmly floored the accelerator.
He had already gone this far in the race, and there was no way Xia Fei was going to give up. If it overheated, so be it. As long as there was even the slightest bit of motivation left, he had to keep going!
Xia Fei finally saw Bai Ye's 201 hovercar from afar. The two hovercars were about a kilometer apart.
Using his advantage in speed, Xia Fei continued to close the gap between him and Bai Ye.
Eight hundred meters.
Five hundred meters.
Three hundred meters!
The two hovercars were tightly tangled together, neither giving way.
Bai Ye's driving skills were quite good. He had a very good grasp of the route, and his hovercar was always in the most advantageous position.
If Xia Fei wanted to overtake him, he had to choose a route that was very disadvantageous to him. Furthermore, the white smoke in the engine compartment was getting thicker and thicker, and Xia Fei knew very well that his hovercar was very close to collapsing.
If he was lucky, he might be able to hold on for another two minutes, but if he was unlucky, it could very well be the very next second.
After one hundred and twenty-eight consecutive hairpin turns, Xia Fei's hovercar was still two body lengths behind Bai Ye.
As long as he could make it through this long passage, Bai Ye would clinch second place in this race.
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows as his brain began to work furiously. The power of an engine would drop significantly when it overheated, and he could already clearly feel that his hovercar was starting to lose its power.
Originally, the straight road was Xia Fei's best place to overtake. After all, his hovercar was faster than Bai Ye's, so he could use his speed to overtake him.
However, due to the overheating of the engine, his hovercar's speed was only about ninety percent of its original, so Xia Fei had lost his advantage in speed.
Gritting his teeth, Xia Fei placed his finger on the red button on the left side of the dashboard.
This button represented the self-protection function of the engine. As long as he pressed this button, the engine would give up on self-protection and instantly unleash two hundred percent of its power.
However, this extreme operation could only last for a second. In the next second, the engine would be completely destroyed, no longer able to provide even the slightest bit of power to the hovercar.
They would reach the finish line in another five kilometers or so, so Xia Fei took this opportunity to press the button hard.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei's hovercar suddenly jumped.
That's right, it jumped!
The overly strong propulsion force instantly exploded, sending the hovercar flying!
Bai Ye simply could not believe his eyes. Xia Fei's hovercar was like a plane as it flew past him in midair.
This is impossible! This is impossible! Bai Ye stepped hard on the accelerator as he yelled, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
That was when Xia Fei did something unimaginable once more. He tried to lean his body to the side, the steering wheel in his hand swinging hard to the side.
The fiery-red hovercar looked like it was performing a ballet, elegantly turning in midair and landing right in front of Bai Ye's hovercar.
Everything happened so suddenly that Bai Ye had no time to step on the brakes!
* Bang! *
The front of Bai Ye's hovercar happened to slam into the back of Xia Fei's hovercar!
* Whoosh! *
The front of the hovercar lifted up high, and Xia Fei used the momentum from Bai Ye's fall to propel himself forward.
Xia Fei's hovercar's engine was already completely damaged, so he did not have the power to continue moving forward, but Bai Ye's fall actually gave Xia Fei a boost, and Xia Fei used this momentum to quickly cross the yellow line!
"Second place! This is unbelievable! Xia Fei is actually the second to cross the finish line! "The red-haired commentator was so excited that he jumped up high." From last place to second place! This is definitely a miracle! "
"That's right! He was able to repair his hovercar even after it was damaged and continue participating in the race! Furthermore, he managed to achieve a good result of second place! This race will surely leave a deep mark in the history of Star Region Racing! "The usually calm middle-aged commentator could not help but praise Xia Fei.
In the stands, countless spectators were throwing their popcorn into the air as fireworks in celebration, as if this victory belonged to them as well.
Everyone was going crazy! They were getting carried away in their celebration! As long as they were holding something in their hands, they would throw it into the air.
A bald, muscular man held his head with one hand as he looked at the countless spectators behind him. "Who did this?! Who hit me with a shoe?! "
Just as he finished his sentence, another cup of cola flew out from the crowd and headed straight for the bald man's head.
Many lightyears away, a series of crackling sounds suddenly came from Avrils room, and the elderly housekeeper opened the door and rushed in in a panic.
"My lady! Are you alright? "
Avrils pointed to a broken computer on the ground and said, "I was too excited just now and accidentally broke the computer. Hurry up and get me another one; I want to see Xia Fei receive the award!"
The old housekeeper pouted. "Got it. As long as my lady is alright, that's all that matters."
Turning around and leaving the room, the old housekeeper was speechless as he muttered to himself, "My lady only likes to destroy toys, but now she's even starting to smash computers. This won't do; I need to order a few thousand AI computers as soon as possible."
Just as Xia Fei's fiery hovercar crossed the yellow line, all the mechanical systems on the hovercar collapsed!
The hovercar had lost its suspension system, so it slid on the ground for a long distance. Sparks flew from the undercarriage, making it look even more spectacular than fireworks.
Fortunately, the structure of the hovercar was abnormally sturdy, so even though it slid for a long distance, it did not damage the structure or cause a fire.
The hovercar came to a stop in the middle of the track. Xia Fei opened the door and jumped out, throwing his helmet to the side as he walked toward Bai Ye's hovercar.
Bai Ye's situation was no better than Xia Fei's. He lost control of his hovercar in that instant because he had hit the back of Xia Fei's hovercar, flipping a few times on the ground before coming to a stop on the track.
What was even more tragic was that because Xia Fei had very insidiously borrowed Bai Ye's momentum, Bai Ye's hovercar came to a stop just a few meters away from the finish line, unable to cross the line at all.
Nie Yuan, who was in third place, took the opportunity to overtake him and take second place. As for Bai Ye, he ended up with his hovercar wrecked, failing to finish the race.
Bai Ye dragged himself out of the hovercar with a body full of injuries. This pampered man who was loved by many girls could not seem to be in good spirits. His clothes were torn and tattered, and his face was covered in dirt and grime. Even the hairstyle he was so proud of was in a mess.
Xia Fei was in a very good mood, smiling as he walked over to Bai Ye.
Aiya, Young Master Bai, are you alright? My hovercar suddenly went out of control, and I ended up dragging Young Master Bai into it. I really feel bad about it, Xia Fei pretended to say.
Xia Fei could not do it again. Bai Ye had provoked Xia Fei during the preliminaries, and Xia Fei had tolerated it. During the race, Bai Ye had purposely sped past Xia Fei, hoping to injure Xia Fei with his wind speed. Xia Fei could not tolerate it a second time.
As the ancients said, it was impolite not to reciprocate. That was why Xia Fei had not only borrowed Bai Ye's momentum to cross the finish line at the last stage of the race, he had also conveniently returned the debt from the previous two times.
Bai Ye had a cold expression as he spat out a tooth from his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of blood as he said, Xia Fei! You did it on purpose!
Xia Fei had a very innocent look on his face. Mr. Bai, dont slander me. Thats just an accident.
Xia Fei paused for a moment before continuing. When I got into an accident, your hovercar nearly hit me in this exact spot. Who knows if you did it on purpose or not?
Bai Ye was slightly taken aback. He suddenly realized that he was standing exactly where he had wanted to hit Xia Fei, and there was not even the slightest difference.
Bai Ye immediately understood that Xia Fei was giving him a taste of his own medicine. Even the location was exactly the same.
It was just that Xia Fei's method of attack was more subtle and more ruthless. If not for the multiple protection systems, Bai Ye might not even have survived.
Bai Ye suddenly burst into laughter, his expression returning to normal. Since it's all a misunderstanding, lets not bring it up. After all, we're all in the training camp, and we'll see each other all the time. Besides, I, Bai Ye, am by no means someone who holds grudges.
