To be honest, the repeated failures were really demoralizing.
Chen Xing smiled, got out of the car, and walked to the driver’s seat. He opened the door and was about to get in.
“Wait a moment, I haven’t gotten out yet…”
“No need.”
Chen Xing directly lifted Zero up and placed her in his lap. Then, he adjusted the seat.
In the next moment, the scene changed, and the car appeared at the starting point. Chen Xing didn’t even fasten his seatbelt; he just hit the gas pedal and drove off.
“Sigh…”
Little Zero sat in Chen Xing’s lap and let out a rare sigh.
“It’s really hard… taking the driver’s license is so annoying!” (X_X)
Just when she was about to continue complaining, she was startled by Chen Xing’s sudden action.
“Uh… H… Husband?”
The initial section was a very long downhill road. Chen Xing immediately floored the gas pedal and because it was a downhill road, the speed increased dramatically.
“Woah!”
It’s a well-known fact that driving fast yourself and riding in someone else’s fast car are two different experiences. Zero was so scared that she screamed and didn’t dare to move.
“Screech!”
With a sharp braking sound, accompanied by Zero’s cries for help…
The car’s body tilted directly!
Chen Xing was drifting right from before the curve!
Although the cars in this world had omnidirectional wheels and drifting was different, the sensitivity of the drifting steering was much stronger than in regular vehicles.
Moreover, it was smoother, even silkier than eating a piece of silky chocolate!
For someone like Chen Xing with maximum reaction speed, he became an instant expert in drifting during the process!
He made micro-adjustments at every moment, ensuring that every drifting path was perfect.
It looked as smooth as a CGI video!
“Noooo!!! We’re going to crash!”
Chen Xing drove the car, and at one point, it seemed like it was going to leave the track and crash into the guardrail beside it!
But everything was under his control.
In this way, every section looked like flat ground in his eyes.
He drifted quickly through the first challenge.
The second level was even more ridiculous: nine rings, all drifted through in one go!
No break during drifting!
It looked like there was a rope pulling his car.
Centrifugal force, what was that? Piece of cake!
Because this car not only had omnidirectional wheels but also worked on the front and rear wheels separately!
It was too maneuverable.
In Chen Xing’s hands, it was basically a matter of doing as he pleased!
“Woah!!! No, Husband!”
Chen Xing raced all the way, and because Zero had just driven for a long time, he had already memorized the route. He hardly touched the brakes during the entire journey and barely eased off the gas pedal.
In the end, Chen Xing drove casually and completed it in 12 minutes and 33 seconds!
“Waaah…” (T_T)
“Too scary… I never want to ride again…”
With just that one experience, little Zero developed a psychological shadow.
“I want to get off! Waaah…”
Chen Xing smiled and said, “Once you get used to my speed, you won’t be afraid anymore. You’ll become bolder.”
“Wuu… then let me take a break…”
Afterward, Chen Xing took little Zero for another round.
Zero was still screaming and panicking; there was no way around it because it was truly terrifying. Chen Xing didn’t slow down; he drifted continuously. He started drifting from a distance, using drifting itself to reduce speed. He controlled the front and rear wheels separately while drifting and slowing down.
Every curve felt like they were about to plunge off a cliff. At such high speeds, any mistake would result in a total disaster. However, no matter how dangerous it seemed, Chen Xing didn’t even make a slight mistake. He drifted all the way down the mountain without a single collision.
This time, he completed it even faster than before, in 12 minutes and 20 seconds!
As for the current record holder for the downhill section of Mount Akina, the most famous underground racing group in Kyoto: Sweetheart Leader – Tian Yuxin: 12 minutes and 10 seconds!
(Tian Yuxin is the daughter of the captain of the Traffic Management Bureau, and she learned to drive with Zero.)
Although Chen Xing was ten seconds slower than her, this was only Chen Xing’s second run, and he was using the worst instructor car. Tian Yuxin achieved her record with the efforts of her entire team: optimizing the route, refining her skills, and tuning the race car. All of these factors contributed to her achievement.
“Waaah…” Zero was trembling in Chen Xing’s arms.
After resting for a while, Chen Xing went for another round.
This time, he was slightly faster, completing it in 12 minutes and 18 seconds.
“Phew~”
After experiencing three rounds in a short period, little Zero gradually adapted.
“I’ve learned enough!”
Zero always learned quickly from Chen Xing. Perhaps that’s the power of love. If it were someone else, it might take much longer to teach.
“Do you want to try it?”
“Um, yeah…”
Afterward, the two of them switched positions once again.
This time, little Zero miraculously improved by several minutes, reaching a time of 25 minutes. She had only five minutes left to pass the assessment.
“Um… still not good enough,” Zero said, sounding a bit discouraged.
“It’s okay. You’ve improved a lot after watching just three times. That’s impressive,” Chen Xing reassured her, patting her head.
“Um… what you did was amazing,”
“Huh? What are you talking about?” Chen Xing smirked and raised an eyebrow playfully.
Zerl couldn’t understand and continued, “You’re so fast…”
Chen Xing: ???
Although he understood what she meant, it still sounded awkward!
“Cough cough… it’s okay; after all, I’m your husband! I’m supposed to teach you stuff,” Chen Xing replied.
“Um… that makes sense,” Zero thought about it and felt better.
“Let’s go again!” she exclaimed.
So, the sharp sound of brakes continued throughout the night within the system space.
Zero’s performance steadily improved, but after dozens of attempts, she still couldn’t break the 20-minute mark. She was so close but just couldn’t make it because she didn’t know how to drift.
So, once again, little Zero and Chen Xing appeared at the starting point.
But this time, Zero didn’t start right away.
“What’s wrong, my wife?” Chen Xing noticed she was staring at the steering wheel and assumed she was feeling down again. He began thinking of ways to comfort her.
However, Zero shook her head and said, “I’m thinking… can I drive in reverse?”
Chen Xing: “Uh…”
Suddenly, he remembered that Zero’s reverse driving skills seemed to be extraordinary.
However, driving in reverse on this type of road would be extremely dangerous, as she would have to rely solely on the rearview mirror to see the road.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea; it’s too dangerous,” Chen Xing shook his head, wanting to discourage her from pursuing this idea.
“Um… I want to try it anyway, especially when I have you with me,” Zero replied with a mischievous smile.
Chen Xing chuckled softly, leaned in, and gently kissed her.
“Alright.”
Since they were still in Saner’s system space, Chen Xing decided to let her try it if she wanted to.
So, Zero turned the car around and pressed the gas pedal.
The car flew backward, and even Chen Xing, sitting in the passenger seat, felt a bit nervous. Driving in reverse on this kind of road was indeed thrilling. He decided to give it a try later.
“Squeak!”
The car quickly approached the first bend. Chen Xing didn’t need to look; he knew they were there. After running the track so many times, he had it memorized.
But little Zero didn’t slow down.
” Zero… you should…” Chen Xing wanted to remind her, but he realized she was staring ahead, completely ignoring the rearview mirror.
???
Was this girl… daydreaming?
“Zero?”
Before he could say more….
“Squeal!” The car suddenly slid sideways.
Chen Xing was shocked when he saw what was happening. The timing to enter the curve and the angle of the drift were almost perfect.
She was actually reverse drifting!
