After leaving Jia Yapeng's former residence, Donald's mood finally recovered a lot. The two of them then officially began their tour of Yuzhang City. This tour lasted until night time, and the two of them finally arrived at the last destination of their plan: Yuzhang City's iconic ancient building, the Pavilion of Prince Teng.
As one of the three famous buildings in Jiangnan, the Pavilion of Prince Teng had become even more beautiful. The management had added a full set of neon lights to the Pavilion of Prince Teng, making it the brightest and most beautiful building in Yuzhang City at night.
However, the Pavilion of Prince Teng was a little special today. When Donald and Emma arrived, they found that the Pavilion of Prince Teng was surrounded by children. Almost all of the children were carrying a large toolbox in their hands. Many of the children were preparing a small car or something on the spot.
"What's this?" Emma asked curiously.
"This is a mini 4WD!" Donald's expression was a little emotional. Before he knew it, he had not played with a mini 4WD for seven or eight years. This was his favorite toy when he was young, but he had not played with it for seven or eight years. He was only 13 years old now.
"I'll go ask around!" Emma said to the security guard behind her, and then ran over excitedly to Donald. "Donald, it turns out that today is the annual National 4WD Pavilion of Prince Teng Challenge. All the Hua Xia mini 4WD experts and players, including the Hua Xia mini 4WD champions and world champions from a few years ago, are here to participate."
"We're so lucky to be able to watch such an interesting competition today!"
"The Pavilion of Prince Teng Challenge!" Donald's expression changed slightly. He had heard of this competition before. This was a commemorative competition held to commemorate the first national mini 4WD championship.
It was because of this amazing mini 4WD competition at the Pavilion of Prince Teng that the Daqian mini 4WD completely broke out of the industry and became the favorite toy of children all over the country. The Daqian mini 4WD also completed its primitive accumulation of funds and began to develop into the gaming, chip, and mobile phone industry.
It could be said that the Daqian mini 4WD's development was developed by the fairy Crispy Noodles and the Daqian mini 4WD.
The Daqian company had never given up on mini 4WD cars. Although mini 4WD cars were not as popular as they were a few years ago, it was still the most popular sport for young people in the country. Every year, the Daqian company would introduce various new mini 4WD cars.
The Pavilion of Prince Teng Challenge was the most important single event outside of the Daqian National Championship. Every year, it would attract a large number of players to participate. For these children, their biggest dream was to be able to jump from the top floor of the Pavilion of Prince Teng together with their mini 4WD. Then, like a big bird, they would fly past the top floor of the Pavilion of Prince Teng, leaving behind the best childhood memories.
Therefore, every year, there would be a large number of players participating in the competition. They didn't expect to win. They would be satisfied as long as they could run a lap around the competition.
"Donald, let's join the competition too!" Emma's eyes lit up as she tugged on Donald's arm.
"But, I didn't bring my 4WD …" Donald said hesitantly, but he didn't refuse.
"It's okay. I've asked around. There's an official research center that sells mini 4WD cars here. Basically, they have all the spare parts for mini 4WD cars.
"Also, there are no restrictions on the number of participants. This is the preliminary round. Everyone can go up and run. The main thing is to pass all the checkpoints and finish the race within 20 minutes. Then, you can enter the main competition!" Emma said excitedly.
In history, the Pavilion of Prince Teng Competition was a competition that encompassed the entire Yuzhang City. It took up to three hours.
However, this was only a single track in the Pavilion of Prince Teng, so it only took 20 minutes to finish the race.
Moreover, 20 minutes wasn't too difficult a time. Purely based on the distance, 20 minutes was enough. The problem, however, was how to ensure that his mini 4WD didn't frequently leave the track or even break into pieces within 20 minutes. This was the biggest challenge.
"Okay!" Donald didn't hesitate for too long and went to the nearby official shop. He took out a gold card and swiped it. Under the envious gazes of the surrounding children, he began to list out the names of the various spare parts.
It was obvious that Donald had done a lot of research on mini 4WD cars. Many of the spare parts had very professional names that Emma had never heard of before. In the end, Donald paid a total of more than 5,000 USD to buy these spare parts. Then, under the envious gazes of the surrounding children, he pieced together a mini 4WD car on the spot.
Because there were a large number of mini 4WD car enthusiasts in and out of the country, there were also many foreign mini 4WD car players who came to participate in the competition every year. This was especially true for the Fusangpeople.
In the past, Fusang's mini 4WD car players suffered a crushing defeat in this competition. As a result, the Fusangpeople surrendered the title of the world's number one mini 4WD car player to Hua Xia. This made many Fusangpeople resentful. Therefore, the biggest dream of the Fusang players was to win the Pavilion of Prince Teng Challenge again and reclaim the glory that belonged to the Fusang.
Unfortunately, due to the terrifying population base in China and the continuous mini 4WD car championship, Hua Xia's mini 4WD car players had far surpassed the Fusang players. It was to the point where the Fusangpeople had no chance of winning the competition. It was very difficult for them to even enter the top three.
However, thanks to the Fusangpeople, the organizers of the competition did not require the contestants to register with their ID cards. It was the same for foreigners to register with their passports. Therefore, Donald successfully registered with the mini 4WD he had just assembled and stepped onto the track.
This time, there were a total of 30 tracks in the starting stage. There were six sets of tracks side by side. This was so that a large number of contestants participating in the preliminaries would not have to wait. As long as they registered, they would be able to start instantly and quickly complete the preliminaries.
This time, there were indeed a lot of contestants. There were seven or eight players competing with Donald. They each chose a track, and as soon as the starting gun sounded, all the mini 4WD cars rushed out at the same time.
Because there were so many mini 4WD cars competing at the same time, and the competition lasted all day, there was no special referee to observe each contestant. The organizers used the latest network technology and smart recognition technology to install a camera every 20 meters on the track. Then, they used the camera to record all the cars that passed through the camera.
Such a camera was called a checkpoint.
These mini 4WD cars would only be able to obtain the final result after passing through all the checkpoints. If a checkpoint was missed, the contestant would fail the competition. This way, the contestant would be able to prevent cheating to a considerable extent.
It was a little regrettable that Donald's mini 4WD was assembled at the last minute. It was not a carefully designed mini 4WD car, so it was installed with expensive parts.
However, after taking off, Donald's mini 4WD started lagging behind. In the end, when the mini 4WD rushed into the entrance of the Pavilion of Prince Teng, Donald's mini 4WD was already more than ten meters behind.
