“Want to know?” Tian Yuxin smiled, teasing and building suspense.

Chen Xing, seeing this, sneered, “Don’t want to.”

Then he turned and walked away.

He could tell what Tian Yuxin was up to. Her sudden enthusiasm for Zero was a clear giveaway. People in the racing community either wanted to compete or learn techniques. So, the one seeking assistance was Tian Yuxin, not Chen Xing. He remained calm and unfazed.

Tian Yuxin, watching Chen Xing’s retreating figure, was momentarily stunned. This person didn’t play by the rules. Couldn’t he give her some face?

Helpless, she hurriedly caught up. “Hey! Can’t I tell you?”

Chen Xing, hearing this, stopped. Holding little Zero, he turned to look at her, “Speak.”

Tian Yuxin gritted her teeth in frustration and said, “But I have a condition! Let’s make a bet!”

Chen Xing coldly glanced at her, turned around, and walked away again.

Tian Yuxin was so angry that she stomped her foot. What’s wrong with this person? Doesn’t he have any curiosity?!

Despite her frustration, she followed him again, continuing to speak: “As long as Zero can compete with me!”

“If she wins, I’ll tell you about the 603 technique.”

Chen Xing didn’t look back or say anything.

Little Zero, however, peeked out her head: “Um… what if I… lose?”

Zero was also genuinely curious about the 603 technique.

Tian Yuxin, seeing Zero’s beautiful face, felt much better.

This was a normal person!

She laughed and said: “If you lose, you have to join my racing team and conquer the 603 technique with me!”

“Oh…” Little Zero thought for a moment. It seemed she could know about the 603 technique whether she won or lost. Feeling that Tian Yuxin was sincere.

Tian Yuxin, seeing the potential interest, continued: “I can also give you a supercar!”

“You just got your driver’s license, right? Don’t have a car yet, huh?”

“I can give you a supercar worth 6 million crystal coins! Win or lose, it’s yours! How about it?”

Little Zero, hearing this, opened her mouth slightly: “6… 6 million! Cars are so expensive…”

So, the frugal Zero felt a bit tempted. She could save a lot of money for Chen Xing!

As long as participating in the race meant getting a free car, why not?

However, if she lost, what did joining a racing team entail? Would it take up a lot of time?

If it consumed too much time, she might as well stay with Chen Xing more.

Seeing Zero hesitating, Tian Yuxin quickly brought out an image from her spirit system.

It was the image of the supercar worth 6 million crystal coins.

It was outrageously cool and stunning!

Pink, blue, and green patterns covered the entire body of the car. The most exaggerated part was the exhaust pipes, directly mounted on the roof. A row of 12 thick pipes looked like mini rocket thrusters. Extremely extravagant.

Just one word: cool!

“Um… husband…?”

“I want~”

Chen Xing smiled at the situation, touched her little head and said: “No, you don’t.”

Tian Yuxin: ???

Zero: “Um… Oh…”

Immediately, disappointment was written all over her face.

Seeing this, Chen Xing chuckled softly, “Just kidding. Okay, if you want to compete, let’s compete.”

“Wu Hu~ Love you~” Little Zero happily raised her hands, embracing his arm.

Tian Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. Finally, she managed to settle these two.

“Then let’s do it tonight. We’ll wait until they all finish their exams, but it has to be later; otherwise, we might get caught by the traffic management department.”

“Um… isn’t that illegal?”

“Well, it’s not illegal. It’s not. My old man is the captain of the traffic management department. How could it be illegal?”

“Oh~ Alright.” Little Zero actually believed it.

Chen Xing couldn’t help but shake his head; this girl is too easy to deceive. He was determined to protect her innocence in this cruel world.

“Let’s go eat first, whether you’re hungry or not, I’ll treat you!” Tian Yuxin was overjoyed, taking the initiative to treat them.

“Okay~”

Then the three of them went to have dinner together.

During the meal, Tian Yuxin said to her underlings, “Notify everyone; there’s a race tonight! And tonight, I’m going to officially try Ghost Shadow’s running style!”

At first, her underlings tried to dissuade her, but in the end, they couldn’t resist Tian Yuxin.

They could only spread the news.

One of her little followers, a yellow-haired boy, secretly hid in the shadows and made a call, “Boss, Miss Yuxin has a race tonight, and she said she’s going to try the Ghost Shadow’s running style…”

A furious voice came from the other end of the phone: “This is simply absurd.”

Then he hung up the phone.

…

At 9 o’clock in the evening, Chen Xing, Zero, Tian Yuxin, and a group of racing enthusiasts climbed onto Mount Akina.

Tian Yuxin’s appeal among the racing enthusiasts in Kyoto was almost irresistible.

Because she was the strongest!

Her races were attended by almost everyone in the racing community. She was the queen of Kyoto’s racing enthusiasts!

She reached the peak as soon as she debuted, showcasing unmatched talent and speed. She gained fame in a single battle, directly breaking records.

At first, there were still people competing with her for records. Later on, no one could touch her records; she kept breaking them herself.

And little Zero obviously hadn’t realized how formidable her opponent was. She just happily looked at the pink little car in front of her.

Regardless of winning or losing, she would receive it from Tian Yuxin.

So Tian Yuxin simply let her drive this car for the race.

Zero had been driving this new car for a few laps. New cars need some time to adapt, but Zero adapted quickly. After a few laps, she could fully control it, and her time reached 12 minutes and 18 seconds.

It was on par with Chen Xing’s previous record when he casually drove the instructor’s car!

Soon, every section of Mount Akina was filled with spectators. All the racing enthusiasts in the city, as well as those who loved watching races, were here.

Tonight, either Zero would become famous overnight, or Tian Yuxin would achieve another consecutive victory.

Anyway, regardless of who wins, tonight will be an exciting showdown.

“So many people…”

There weren’t many people at the top of the mountain, but looking down from the top, many cars with their lights on could be seen. The lights shone on the mountain, illuminating Tian Yuxin and Zero.

It was also to provide better visibility for the spectators.

“Come on, Zero, do you want to be in the front or the back?” Tian Yuxin asked.

The rules of the race were one car in the front and one in the back on this downhill road.

If the front car reached the finish line and managed to pull away from the rear car by more than 4 seconds, the front car would win. Conversely, the rear car would lose.

How far can you run in 4 seconds?

At a speed of 100 miles per hour, it’s about 100 meters. That’s a considerable distance.

Another victory condition is: On this narrow road, if the rear car overtakes the front car and maintains the lead until the finish line, it wins.

There’s also another way to win:

If the rear car overtakes the front car, they switch positions, and if the front car overtakes again, maintaining the lead until the finish line, it counts as a win.

“I get to choose first?” Little Zero didn’t know how to choose.

In fact, there wasn’t much difference between the two options. Some people like to be in the front, and some people prefer the back.

Being in the front can be stressful because the car behind usually follows closely, putting immense pressure.

But you’re not restricted.

Being in the back has less pressure, but the driving may feel constrained.

If the person in front has a dirty running style, likes to block the road, then you might be stuck behind forever.

“Chen Xing… which one should I choose?”

Chen Xing spoke, “Either is fine, choose whichever you like. Don’t worry; I’ll be following you.”

“Okay~ Then I’ll choose the front. I like being in the front, hehe.”

Chen Xing smiled gently, “Sure, I happen to like being in the back.”

Tian Yuxin: “..”

This couple…

Little Zero didn’t understand at all; she just hopped into her small car.

On her car door, a stylish “Zero” was sprayed.

Chen Xing did that for her.

This car was now officially little Zero’s, nicknamed the “Car Zero.”

Afterward, Zero and Tian Yuxin lined up, one in the front and one in the back.

At this moment, in the darkness, there was a person coldly overlooking the entire Mount Akina.

He…

He is Ghost Shadow!

He heard that someone wanted to try his running style?

Well, let’s see.

As the countdown began, little Zero accelerated away.

But Tian Yuxin was clearly an experienced driver. From the beginning, she followed closely, especially on the straight slope.

At times, she almost bumped into the back of Zero’s car!

The headlights directly illuminated the interior of Zero’s car, making it bright inside.

“This…” Little Zero instantly felt immense pressure!

The rear car was so close; she dared not hit the brakes!

If she brakes, wouldn’t the car behind ram into her?

Unconsciously, due to the pressure from behind, little Zero’s speed increased, faster and faster!

And Zero didn’t notice. This was her first time racing, and most of her attention was on the car behind her.

She didn’t even notice that the speed on the dashboard had exceeded the limit!

At this rate, in the next turn, even if she brakes hard, it won’t be enough.

The car would fly off!

Chen Xing, who was sitting beside her, quickly reminded, “Don’t be afraid, brake as needed! She’s experienced; there’s no way she’ll let you crash into her.”

“Um… Okay!”

“Screech!” Zero quickly hit the brakes, slowing down.

Indeed, as Chen Xing said, Tian Yuxin was so close, but there was no collision; her reaction was extremely fast!

Zero finally relaxed when she saw this. The pressure instantly diminished significantly.

The two cars maneuvered through several turns, appearing like parallel drifting due to their close proximity, eliciting cheers from the spectators standing by the railing!

So thrilling!

However, Tian Yuxin was still unable to overtake.

But even so, the pressure shifted to Zero.

Because she couldn’t shake her off!

Being unable to shake her off meant losing the race. The rule required pulling away by more than 4 seconds!

Losing the race meant she would have to come here for races regularly.

Little Zero was already starting to regret it. Why bother with racing when everything is fine!? Isn’t going home and enjoying a peaceful time better?

The sound of the car’s tires rubbing against the ground echoed throughout Mount Akina.

In the darkness, Ghost Shadow’s face showed no expression.

Chen Xing sat in the car in silence. He had been observing Tian Yuxin behind. Her skills are really good!

But, she’s not unbeatable!

Just when he was pondering where he could make a surprising move to shake off Tian Yuxin.

Suddenly, the car body swayed slightly.

Everything seemed normal on the surface. But Chen Xing’s heart skipped a beat; little Zero… started to panic!

“Don’t panic, Zero!”

“Um… Uh, wuwu ( X﹏X ) Yeah!”

Although Zero said so, she was still quite anxious. There was no way around it; the pressure from Tian Yuxin was too intense!

With her constantly tailing behind, Zero feared making a mistake that could lead to a collision between the two. The more afraid she became, the more prone she was to making mistakes!

Right in the Hell’s Spiral of this section of the road…

As they entered the 9th loop, drifting through the turn, the two cars ran parallel to each other!

Drifting from left to right, Zero glanced to the side and could directly see Tian Yuxin’s car. Right beside hers.

The distance between the two cars was less than 20 centimeters.

She could even see Tian Yuxin’s face.

This further demonstrated Tian Yuxin’s strong heart and invincible skills.

But… little Zero was trembling a bit now.

The car was right beside her, and if she made any mistake in this drifting situation, even Tian Yuxin wouldn’t have time to react.

However, Tian Yuxin did it intentionally. People who race, if they don’t embrace the possibility of death, won’t win in the end.

This was also the reason she had been able to maintain her winning streak!

“Don’t be afraid… this is good, you’re driving well.”

“The drift is perfect, why be scared? Keep it up.”

Chen Xing clearly sensed something off with Zero.

Continuing with the usual routine, he lavishly praised her, and little Zero fell for Chen Xing’s routine!

“Hoo…”

Although Zero was trembling slightly, and her heart was pounding. But the hands gripping the steering wheel were relatively steady.

Rather than saying steady, it was more like they were frozen!

One loop, two loops, three loops… eight loops, nine loops!

A long stretch of drifting sounds.

In the ears of the enthusiastic spectators around, the sound was exhilarating. The cheers were almost drowning out the drifting noise.

Finally! The Hell’s Spiral came to an end!

Little Zero successfully withstood Tian Yuxin’s pressure.

The movements of the two cars were almost identical; they drifted through all nine loops. Like floating from start to finish.

“Phew~”

Just after completing the loops, Zero breathed a sigh of relief. She felt a lingering fear in her heart.

However, in this instant, in the blink of an eye, she started to wrap up the drift, pulling the car’s head too late.

“Turn the steering wheel! Pull the front end!” Chen Xing quickly reminded her.

“Oh oh …” Little Zero finally reacted.

However, it was too late.

In the short stretch of road just after exiting the loop, while the drift hadn’t ended yet, Tian Yuxin had already started to straighten out!

But Zero’s steering was still turned. Just in a breath’s momentary flaw, Tian Yuxin seized the opportunity!

Just as Zero finished pulling the front end, preparing to accelerate on the straight road.

“Swoosh!”

Tian Yuxin’s car shot out directly from the lane next to Zero’s.

Surging to the front!

“OH!~”

“Awesome, Leader!”

“Awesome!”

!!!

Zero stared blankly at Tian Yuxin in front of her. For a moment, she forgot to accelerate.

The two cars pulled further and further apart!

I… was overtaken?

“You haven’t lost yet, there’s still a chance, trust me!” Chen Xing suddenly shouted.

“Oh!” Zero snapped out of it, then slammed the accelerator to the floor!

However, in the darkness, Ghost Shadow shook his head and muttered: “Lost.”
