It was obvious who was better and who was worse.
Some people in the stands were shouting the name of Che Xing, who was replaced by Udoze, and waving the floating image of Che Xing. Some so-called experts were commenting on the scene just now, and they were full of praise for Che Xing.
The racers in the race were unaware of all this. They only knew that they had to focus all their attention on the race, because the slightest bit of carelessness would result in their deaths.
The sandstone circuit was almost over, and the next circuit was Lake Qilian.
As usual, the red flying car was the first to plunge into the lake. The underwater monitors recorded the race's situation accurately under the lake. Some media outlets also had work stations under the water, analyzing and reporting the race's situation in more detail.
Although there was no wind or sand in the lake, factors such as resistance, buoyancy, and water pressure would affect the flying car's speed, and they also had to ensure that the car's oxygen supply system wasn't damaged.
In every circuit, the racers had to consider the problem from different angles and adopt different responses.
"Look, a water monster!" a child shouted, pointing at a long anaconda that looked like a long anaconda.
Yes, the lake wasn't just filled with clingy aquatic plants, there were also all kinds of creatures living in the lake. If one was careless and got entangled, it wouldn't be easy to get rid of them. In the worst case scenario, one might even become food for these aquatic creatures.
However, the racers were clearly used to this, and only a few were plotted against or made small mistakes and ran into trouble.
Udoze was still in the lead. Outside, he could rely on the wind to make judgments, and in the water, he could use the flow of water. The water of Lake Qilian wasn't completely still, and the aquatic creatures and flying cars could cause quite a bit of movement. There were also passages connecting the lakes, where the flow of water was faster, and all of this could be used well.
Many people couldn't imagine how the racer in the red flying car could do this, just as they couldn't imagine that the person driving the flying car was actually a seventeen-year-old boy who had been banished to the edge of the city and only relied on an old, broken car to train.
Day after day, he trained harshly to live up to his own talent. He used all the external forces he could use to create more miracles.
The critics looked at the time. In the previous records, the shortest time to complete the Sandstone region was five hours and twenty-one minutes, but Udoze did not even use five hours. He was twenty minutes shorter than the record holder. Even a second would make people go crazy, let alone twenty minutes. Now, everyone was waiting for him to break the second record.
And the result was not disappointing. He finished the Qilian Lake stage in 16 minutes less than the record. When the car emerged from the lake, people even thought that the red flying car would directly fly into the sky, and no external force could stop it.
The third segment, Stone Forest.
The wind in the stone forest wasn't much better than in the sandstone area. Perhaps it wouldn't be as fierce as the sandstone area, but it definitely wouldn't be any less strange than the sandstone area. The undirected wind could even blow from somewhere in the stone forest when you weren't paying attention, affecting the balance of the car and causing it to crash or fall.
It made sense that inexperienced players weren't suited for Acerella's game. Because that was no different from asking for death.
The red car contrasted sharply with the white stone forest. In this last segment, it was almost the red flying car's solo performance. The cars behind had been left far behind. On the three projections in the center of the grandstand, the red figure was the only one with the best angle. It was like the soul of an era.
Flipping through the stone forest, it seemed like he couldn't find his balance. Every time the audience thought he would crash, they saw him successfully dodge the stone pillar in the next second. The distance between the car and the stone pillar was perhaps only a few centimeters. Even as spectators, people felt unusually nervous. Many people's foreheads were sweating, not from fear, but from excitement. Later, many people could see that the driver of the car seemed to be in a difficult situation, but in fact, he was doing it with ease.
The cheers grew louder and louder. The Storm team had already begun to promote the car star, selling souvenirs. All the big images were of the car star.
Compared to the bright and dazzling car star, the body double looked incomparably sad.
Tang Qiuqiu wasn't as excited as before. She felt that Udoze was very pitiful.
Because the two segments were on the same latitude, after one lap, they would return to the grandstand, which was both the start and the finish line. When the red flying car crossed the finish line and entered the grandstand, the audience erupted. They stood up and shouted Che Xing's name.
The flying car entered Storm's special workshop. Udoze got out of the car and gave his seat to the car star, who was already fully equipped. Ignoring the director's nonsense, "Good job, I'll give you a raise." He changed out of his jacket, put on casual clothes in the changing room, threw away the clothes that didn't belong to him, and walked out of the race.
The race continued to heat up. The crazy fans' cheers could be heard from afar.
Letting out a long breath, Udoze raised his head and walked away. But when he saw the debit card in Silin's hand, Udoze's gloomy mood improved a lot.
Silin waved his hand. "Today's harvest is not bad. Go and transfer the money!"
"Okay." Udoze moved his arms to relax his tense muscles.
"Udodo, you won a lot of money this time." Tang Qiuqiu said with a smile. This time, she also invested some of the money she earned from completing the mission, and the harvest was very surprising.
"300,000. It's enough for me to run many races." Udoze sighed.
"No, you underestimated it by an order of magnitude."
Udoze's movement froze. He turned around stiffly and looked at Silin. "Didn't you bet on that car to win?"
"Yes, but I also bet on that car to break the record." Silin said with a smile.
"That … that means …" Udoze swallowed his saliva. He was so nervous that he almost bit his tongue. He wasn't this nervous even during the race.
"That means, it increased by 30 times." Tang Qiuqiu gave the answer directly.
30 times, in other words, the final amount of money was 3 million!
Udoze panted heavily for a long time. Then, he suddenly squatted down on the spot and began to cry.
Silin, Tang Qiuqiu, and Huimao: "…"
Silin knew that they couldn't understand Udoze's feelings.
All the grievances, all the unwillingness, all the unreachable dreams the day before, when he had almost sunk into numbness and darkness, he found that there was actually sunshine on his back, a hope that he could touch just by turning around.
Even when he crashed into a mountain rock and was seriously injured and almost killed, Udoze didn't cry. At this moment, he suddenly felt that everything was worth it!
There was no reputation, no trophy that belonged to him, all his efforts were brushed off by some nonsense from the team leader …
So what!
After crying, Udoze raised his arm and used his sleeve to wipe his snot and tears. "It's my treat today. Don't fight with me!"
"Of course!" Huimao said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Hehe …"
Udoze smiled like a fool all the way as he followed Silin to the center of Windy City. There, Silin transferred Udoze's portion to him. Because it was through Silin, even if the officials checked Udoze's account, they wouldn't find out that he gambled. This was something that Udoze was sure of.
Udoze stared at Card for a long time as if he was staring at a lover. No, it was more like staring at a lover. When he came back to his senses, he still had a smile on his face. Suddenly remembering something, Udoze scratched his head and said to Silin, "It's still early. I'll bring you guys to a good place tonight. But before that, I have to visit someone. Oh right, maybe I can introduce you guys to him. He's a pharmacist."
"Pharmacist?" Silin asked curiously.
"Yes, he's an amazing pharmacist!" Udoze's face was full of admiration.
"Let's go too. Let's see the amazing pharmacist you mentioned." Silin was very interested in the person Udoze mentioned.
Silin and the other two followed Udoze to the other side of the city. It was an inconspicuous house that was on the outskirts of the central area. Compared to the many alloy building materials in the central area, this house was the same as Udoze's house. It was made of stone, but it was much bigger than Udoze's house.
After Udoze pressed the doorbell, the door to the yard opened automatically. There were some unknown flowers in the yard, and some medicinal herbs were exposed to the sun on the platform.
Celine's footsteps paused when she stepped into the courtyard. Her eyes were filled with deep thought as she looked at the house.
This place was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons!
Tang Qiuqiqiu wrinkled her nose. What a strong smell of alcohol! After walking into the house, there were empty bottles everywhere. This made Tang Qiuqiqiu frown even more.
"Brother Likrabe, sorry to disturb you," Udoze said.
Creak —
The door opened. A man in his thirties wearing a nightgown that hadn't been washed for a few days appeared. His eyes were half open, and his hair was messy. Coupled with the dispirited stubble, he looked like a drunkard in dire straits. At this time, this drunkard was leaning against the door, holding a bottle of wine in one hand. After drinking a mouthful of wine, he looked at the people who walked in. However, when his eyes swept over Silin, his pupils constricted slightly.
"Neurotoxin?" Likrabe's voice was low and hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a few days, but it was very certain.
"Enhancement drug?" Silin looked at Likrabe.
"Good eye."
"Same to you."
Udoze didn't know what the conversation between Silin and Likrabe meant, but Huimao knew.
Silin had a dagger on him, and the dagger was smeared with neurotoxin. Rikulab's body also carried the scent of a potion, a type of strengthening potion.
Whether it was the neurotoxin on Silin or the enhancement drug on Likrabe, they were all made by themselves and had never been announced. However, when both sides met for the first time, they were able to detect the drug on each other and identify the effects of the drug. Even some professionals might not be able to do that.
Twitching the corner of his mouth, Likrabe turned his gaze to Udoze.
Udoze seemed a little nervous. He handed the 10,000 star coins worth of wine to Likrabe. "Thank you for your help all this time!"
Likrabe didn't have the slightest bit of courtesy. He took the bottle and looked at it. "Yo, you made money from the competition?"
"Ahem, yeah." Udoze continued to scratch his head and said embarrassedly. He believed that Likrabe wouldn't sell him out, but it wasn't easy to say it out loud.
Likrabe didn't have the intention to continue asking. He waved his hand. "Alright, I'll accept the wine. You can go now. I still need to continue sleeping." Likrabe yawned as he said this. He took the wine bottle and walked into the room.
"Brother Likrabe, are you going to 'Dance Night' tonight?"
What answered Udoze was the sound of the door slamming shut.
However, Udoze didn't care. Instead, he smiled and led Silin and the others out.
"That's a drunkard!" After leaving the room, Tang Qiuqiu said with certainty.
"Brother Likrabe just likes to drink, but he's still a good person. At least he doesn't look down on us locals."
"He's not from Planet Acerella?" Silin asked.
"No, he came here more than ten years ago. He'll lend money to the poor. Although he charges interest, it's not high. He's also very humane. He'll buy medicine on credit, unlike the hospitals in the city who always have to check the money first. Also, when my mother and I were drunk, Brother Likrabe helped us. Once, my mother was seriously ill. At that time, my skills weren't that good. Life was hard and I didn't have the money to see a doctor. It was Brother Likrabe who helped us. "
"It seems that the drunkard uncle is a good person."
Udoze smiled mysteriously. "The place I'll take you to tonight, you'll be surprised!"
"Tsk, you're still keeping us in suspense!" Tang Qiuqiu curled her lips.
"I suddenly remembered that that place isn't suitable for children." Udoze said with a bitter face.
Tang Qiuqiu glared at him. "I want to go!"
In the end, he couldn't bear Tang Qiuqiu's angry stare. When night fell, Udoze took Silin and the other two to a place in the center of the city — "Dance Night."
"Dance Night" was a nightclub, a place for people to entertain. It was always overcrowded. People who came here for the first time would be a little timid, like aliens who barged in recklessly.
The entire place was filled with an unparalleled madness and ambiguity. It was definitely not a quiet place, nor was it a place for people to drink. Coming to "Dance Night," it seemed that something had to happen for people to be satisfied.
If it wasn't an animal with strong heart and lung function, or an animal that could only dance with the help of drugs, it was best not to come here.
Walking into "Dance Night," the evil aura that hit them in the face made them fall into a trance for a moment.
Inside, the booths were mixed with the dance floor, making it convenient for guests to fantasize about the twisting dancers on the dance floor at a close distance. It also made it convenient for people to freely play when they were drunk.
Inside, as far as the eye could see, everyone was gorgeously dressed. Here, no matter how bright, sharp, or exaggerated one's appearance was, it wouldn't attract too much attention. There were a lot of handsome men and beautiful women in every small circle, dazzling the eyes.
People who liked excitement or those who wanted to vent could sway on the dance floor to their heart's content, wantonly twisting. The extreme craziness was even greater than the craziness of the car fans in the grandstand.
Among the ear-piercing explosive music, most of them came from the many races outside of Planet Acerella. People dressed in strange clothes twisted their bodies, it was really a group of demons dancing.
Some young women even wore leopard fur, sexy with a little bit of playfulness and cuteness. Every one of them made people want to make mistakes.
Depression could only turn into complaints or roars, and only the vast space could accommodate roars. The spacious venue made the people who came here roar wildly, dragging out their voices as if they were possessed.
The venue played the essence of various races and cultures, with an aphrodisiac energy, like a spell that would sweep you into a psychedelic tide, turning you into an irrational animal. Therefore, under the influence of the music and alcohol, everyone's eyes turned red as they greedily scanned everything in the venue. Then, they twisted their bodies and scuttled through the crowd — they were playing a simple game of prey and prey. In such an environment, it was almost impossible to sit down and drink quietly.
Different styles of music at different times, a passionate and unrestrained music feast, fully provoking one's passion. Whether it was blues, sensational, dynamic, psychedelic, or passionate, all challenged one's ears and self-control.
There was also a slightly quieter place in "Dance Night." It had a retro style, a soft and comfortable long sofa, and psychedelic incense. When people finished hunting on the dance floor, they would come here to enjoy their prey. Thus, leisurely music reverberated in the ears, pure wine, and tempting desserts were sprinkled on the long, lazy sofa. Your body, your prey, couldn't help but become restless, restless …
The story about this psychedelic place was both simple and wonderful. It was a place of debauchery and debauchery, a night of music, and a night of sensual pleasures. It was so wonderful that people couldn't stop. Whether it was good or bad, from this narrow and crazy world, it would make you feel as if you had gotten everything you wanted, and it would also force out the magic in your bones, turning you into an animal that constantly pursued excitement and primitive desires, making you feel that you were born for the nightlife, and you couldn't wait to get more drunk.
Silin and the others found a small private room on a high floor a little farther away from the dance floor. The transparent partition allowed them to see the scene on the dance floor outside, and they could hear the music clearly enough.
Tang Qiuqiu didn't like it here, and always felt awkward.
Silin didn't let him see the scene outside, and ordered some desserts for Tang Qiuqiu, and Tang Qiuqiu was also happy to do so.
Looking at the crazy people on the dance floor outside, the people dancing to cater to each other, and the people kissing wantonly, Silin sighed, "I really shouldn't have brought Tang Qiuqiu here."
However, just when Tang Qiuqiu was sleepy after eating the desserts, the light in the room suddenly blurred, and then the whole dance floor showed a kind of suppressed excitement and forbearance. Then, with a bang, it was completely boiling.
At that moment, the lights were moving, the music was moving, and every part of every area was moving. The whole visual effect was like a feast of the rich.
The lights crisscrossed on a point, and there stood a person, with a flamboyant and reserved look, and at the same time, they all blended into this demonic place.
If a love song and a bouquet of flowers could conquer a woman, then for this person, he could conquer a dozen with just one move.
Along with the music, under the illumination of the lights, he walked rhythmically, mixed a glass of wine for himself, drank it in one gulp, put down the glass without hesitation, and stepped into the dance floor step by step, like a king descending.
The people on the dance floor spontaneously made a way for him, giving the Wolf King of the "Dance Night" his stage.
