Little Yao Xi, Charge!

[Ding! Congratulations on achieving first place in the first round of the finals! Your basic success rate for alchemy has increased by 20%!]

Wow! Uncle, your legs are so long!

Yao Xi was right next to Yang Shan, pointing at Yang Shan's leg:

"Look, look! It's so long, so long! You don't even need a pole for pole vaulting!"

Xiao Aotian and Hao Yunqi, who were rushing to the finish line, were completely melted by Yao Xi's adorable appearance! Adults can only act cute, Little Yao Xi is genuinely adorable! Yang One-Blade deserves to die! Yang Shan watched the show from behind with Little Yao Xi.

Before long, players began to reach the finish line.

Of course, the most spectacular sight was the last large group of troops.

There are probably a thousand people, and they're all making similar progress.

At the finish line, a bunch of fat dolls jostled and pushed each other, some of them getting squeezed into balls and rolling forward.

Little Yao Xi laughed so hard she bent over backwards.

Yes, that's just how little girls are; they don't care about their image at all when they laugh.

After the first level ends, players have a ten-minute break.

Yang Shan spent two yuan to buy two cups of juice with unlimited refills for one day from the system store.

Little Yao Xi chose apple juice, and after sucking on the straw for a couple of sips, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

"It smells so good! Thank you, uncle. You're such a kind person!"

In addition to the claim that "Yang Shan is in a vegetative state," new rumors have emerged on the forum:

Yang Shan is married and has a daughter.

Then the rumors evolved into various versions, and eventually even merged together: Yang Shan was married and had a daughter. Due to an accident, he became a vegetable and entered the game through Game Pod to earn money to support his wife and daughter.

The daughter felt sorry for her father and entered the game to see him again.

What about Yang Shan's wife? The suspenseful drama "Where Did Yang Shan's Wife Go?" will continue for ten minutes, which will pass quickly.

The final round has entered its second stage:

Crazy Kart Racing! A standard racing game.

Each participant will be provided with a go-kart.

What would it be like to see two thousand go-karts lined up side by side at the same starting line?

This road is so wide that even ten aircraft carriers wouldn't feel crowded!

The participants all wore racing suits provided by the system.

Regardless of how well the contestants drove, their styling was definitely professional.

Two thousand go-karts, they all look pretty much the same.

Each of them is equipped with a jet nozzle at the rear, which can be used in various ways to obtain "nitro" while moving forward.

The role of nitrogen is to provide energy to the jet nozzles, generating thrust to help the go-kart accelerate.

But some go-karts have a much more stylish design!

Take, for example, the universally acknowledged "pro player" among gamers! The Alchemy King - Zhuang Youqian.

His go-kart has a special paint job.

Moreover, there are two spray nozzles installed!

In addition to the two jet tubes, Xiao Aotian, Hao Yunqi, and Little Yao Xi also had their tail wings specially modified to better reduce wind resistance.

Then Xiao Aotian, Hao Yunqi, and Zhuang Youqian all unconsciously looked at Yang Shan, who was located in the very center.

That striking red color is impossible to hide! Yang Shan's go-kart has a unique scarlet paint job.

Three jet nozzles! Carbon fiber tail wing! And the tire tread pattern is even more complex.

The tires are even two or three sizes larger than the go-kart next to it!

Wow, sir! Your car is so beautiful!

Little Yao Xi expressed the sentiments of many participating players and viewers.

Such cool go-karts! Even women would say "I want one!" just looking at them, let alone men! Hao Yunqi, the luckiest person, couldn't help but ask Xiao Aotian beside him:

"Xiao Aotian, why do you think Yang Shan's car has been strengthened so much?"

Xiao Aotian: "How would I know! Logically speaking, the only difference between us and Yang Shan is that our alchemy level is one grade lower. Is such a big difference just because of one grade?"

Hao Yunqi: "Xiao Aotian, I think we should cooperate!"

"Cooperate?"

Xiao Aotian became interested. "What do you mean?"

Hao Yunqi: "Judging from this, Yang Shan must have received more enhancements in the third level than us. You should know what kind of medicine he refined, right? Fifth Order King of Beasts Magic Core, which is definitely a top-grade fifth-rank pill!"

Xiao Aotian naturally understood that if Yang Shan won first place in all three trials and refined a top-grade fifth-rank pill with his terrifying success rate, then there would be no need for them to compete!

Yang Shan is definitely number one! Hao Yunqi suggested:

"We need to surround and intercept him! Attack from both sides! Forcefully slow him down!"

Xiao Aotian: "You make it sound so easy. He's faster than us. We probably can't even catch up with him!"

Hao Yunqi: "What if the other players next to him start running and crash into him?"

Xiao Aotian coldly looked at Hao Yunqi: "Playing this game? I, Xiao Aotian, would rather lose fair and square than win using such despicable means!"

Hao Yunqi also lost his temper:

"What do you mean by despicable means? I was just using the rules!"

Xiao Aotian: "Whatever, I'm not doing it!"

"You're still putting on airs with me, fine!"

Hao Yunqi said no more, but secretly sent a message to Wang Tianhao.

With the final ten seconds countdown, all the go-karts began to roar with engine noise.

This go-kart isn't controlled with a keyboard.

The simulation is so realistic that it's indistinguishable from a real go-kart.

At most, the go-kart won't break in a crash, and it can be restored with a single click after a rollover.

3!

2! 1! The race begins! Yang Shan Shanka slammed on the gas pedal the instant the number "1" disappeared.

The Flamboyant Red Kart's three jet nozzles spewed out airflow, propelling the car and instantly increasing its speed! This is the special "Jet Start" of Crazy Kart Racing; by pressing the accelerator at the right time, you get a one-second Nitrogen Acceleration.

Yang Shan's car has the fastest acceleration, and the go-karts on both sides have also triggered Nitrogen Acceleration.

But Yang Shan had already taken the lead by half a car length in the blink of an eye.

Just as Yang Shan was preparing to leave the other players in the dust and make them suffer, the contestants on his left and right sides looked like brave warriors facing a dragon, their eyes filled with determination.

They slammed on the gas, maneuvering their go-karts and crashing them into Yang Shan! Yang Shan's go-kart was too good; it could immediately create a gap after starting.

Only in the very first second of the race can Yang Shan not go too far.

Yang Shan's flashy red go-kart was hit by another player on both rear wheels, causing it to lose its balance and spin in place.

The player's real-time rankings will be displayed in the upper left corner of their view.

Yang Shan was originally "1".

Just because of this delay, it suddenly became 792!

Moreover, its ranking continues to decline.

"Damn! You're trying to pull this on me, aren't you?"

Yang Shan really didn't expect that a player would want to play "self-destruct" with him.

However, Yang Shan did not show much emotional fluctuation.

"A bit of difficulty is just right. Do you know what my old nickname was? The Akina Devil!"

What is the Akina Devil? Even when Fujiwara Takumi drives on the roads of Mount Akina, he only drifts on the curves.

The Akina Devil keeps floating around!

Yang Shan controlled the steering wheel and coordinated with the accelerator to keep the car steady before setting off again! In his previous life, Yang Shan was Fifth Grade Alchemist, and he had never failed this level in a mini-game! This was because his family had bought virtual go-karting equipment when he was a child.

This guy has been a racing prodigy since he was a kid!

The Crazy Kart Racing track is very long. Even if you use nitro the whole time and make no mistakes, it will still take more than eight minutes to complete.

And it's an item race.

Players who are lagging behind can obtain some speed-up items.

There will be plenty of opportunities to catch up! The first right turn on the road is a 180-degree U-turn.

Many players crashed into the guardrails because they didn't time their turns correctly.

Some players opted for a safer approach and chose to slow down to pass through.

Yang Shan was different.

Yang Shan floored the accelerator!

Just before entering the curve, release the accelerator and turn the steering wheel sharply.

The go-kart's rear wheels began to slip, and due to inertia, they briefly lost traction.

Yang Shan immediately reversed the steering wheel to correct the angle.

The go-kart traced a smooth arc on this 180-degree U-shaped bend.

That's not all! Before entering the bend, Yang Shan also obtained an item called "Cloud Layer".

The effect is very simple.

After use, a large white cloud will immediately appear at the current location, blocking the view of players passing by.

Yang Shan actually used this thing while sharply turning the steering wheel! One can only imagine how many of those players who subsequently entered the clouds will crash headfirst into the guardrail! With most of the curve cleared, Yang Shan once again adjusted the car's angle using the steering wheel.

Slam on the gas!

Nitrogen jet propels us out of the turn!

This scene stunned countless onlookers.

This go-kart is a realistic simulation.

It's not like the "one-click drift" in typical games.

The accelerator, brake, and steering wheel are all based on real-world operation.

In addition, there's Nitrogen Acceleration, item usage, and item switching.

There are more details to pay attention to than when driving in real life.

If it were just about completing the drift, that would be fine. Knowing the theory of drift, you could probably do it by doing a few more experiments.

After all, it's okay to crash into another car in the game.

However, the timing of drifting, the trajectory, and the timing of exiting the corner are all very important.

If it's just drifting, it might be slower than someone slowing down to take a corner!

But Yang Shan clearly excelled in every detail.

If a perfect U-turn is a perfect score of 100, Yang Shan's turn is at least a 93! The subsequent sections are more complex, with consecutive curves, forks in the road, and shortcuts.

Perhaps it was the initial collision that ignited Yang Shan's fighting spirit, as he is now in Yang Shan form! He is also using various items perfectly.

Especially after obtaining the "Nitrogen Acceleration" item.

The go-kart transformed into a crimson flash! Its three jet nozzles were constantly flaming! Countless players opened Yang Shan's game view.

Some players watched for two minutes and then started vomiting.

I got carsick! Yang Shan's real-time ranking went from outside the top 900 to 600, then to 300, and finally to 100.

Four minutes into the match, Yang Shan's ranking had dropped to 42nd! There were three players driving side-by-side right in front of him.

One player even taunted, "Yang One-Blade, you're not going to win this level!"

Yang Shan chuckled, gripping the steering wheel with his right hand, while a rotten tomato appeared in his left.

"Get out of here!"

Some items in the game require players to aim manually.

But Yang Shan's accuracy was unparalleled! The rotten tomato he threw kept getting bigger in the air.

Who can throw a tomato at a speed exceeding 400 km/h? But that's how game props work.

The giant tomato, now five meters in diameter, slammed into the go-karts of the three people in front of it.

People fell over and the car overturned.

Yang Shan is currently ranked 39th!

At the same time, the competition for top rankings is extremely fierce.

The top four were all specially modified go-karts.

Moreover, they are all people who have a considerable reputation among players.

Fourth: Yao Xi.

Third: Zhuang Youqian.

Second: Hao Yunqi.

First: Xiao Aotian.

The difference between the four is not significant.

Without Yang Shan's threat, Xiao Aotian began to demonstrate his formidable gaming skills.

Even with simple games, he can handle them with ease!

The angle selection for various corners is quite good.

But just then, Xiao Aotian, who had been in the lead, had his car explode from underneath, sending him and the car flying into the air and flipping three times before finally landing! It was Hao Yunqi's prop, the "Explosive Rocket"! Xiao Aotian was essentially immobilized in place, unable to move forward even a meter for a full two seconds.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hao Yunqi floored the accelerator and accelerated, attempting to overtake Xiao Aotian.

But just then, Zhuang Youqian was ranked third, took out a rotten tomato and threw it over!

Hao Yunqi's car was hit by a rotten tomato, greatly reducing its speed.

Zhuang Youqian burst into laughter. "Haha, first place is mine!"

Just as Zhuang Youqian sped up to overtake Xiao Aotian, Xiao Aotian casually tossed out a banana! The banana landed on Zhuang Youqian's path and immediately turned into banana peels scattered all over the ground.

Zhuang Youqian's car started skidding wildly.

With the three of them delayed, Yao Xi, who was in fourth place, took the opportunity to close the gap.

Fortunately, all three of them quickly adjusted the car and continued on their way.

Now, the four of them were even closer together.

Anyone who dares to ease off the accelerator will likely be overtaken! Ahead, we come to a narrow bend with a sharp 140-degree angle.

The bend is only wide enough for three cars to pass side by side at most.

A collision could occur if one is not careful.

Xiao Aotian had planned the route in advance.

Although he slowed down a bit because the bend was too sharp, as long as he stayed on the innermost bend, no one else could overtake him!

The four cars entered the bend one after another.

Xiao Aotian was completely focused, determined to get every detail right.

"After this bend, the finish line isn't too far away. First place... swish!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Aotian spotted a pink go-kart with flames shooting from its tail nozzles as it passed by on his right.

You should know that Xiao Aotian's cornering was excellent, leaving no space on the right that could accommodate a go-kart.

But why is only the left front and rear wheels of this pink go-kart on the ground?

Not to mention that the entire car body was tilted halfway.

They even dared to use Nitrogen Acceleration! If this weren't a game, even the King of Hell would be laughing his head off.

But Little Yao Xi, the owner of the pink go-kart, actually stood up excitedly. "Oh! Oh! Speed up, speed up, go go go!"

Many viewers actually noticed this little girl who is only ten years old.

That "Tilted-Kart Cornering" maneuver was even more difficult than Drainage-Channel Cornering!

The Nitrogen Acceleration time ended, Little Yao Xi lightly pressed the brake pedal.

The car body flew up due to inertia, spun 360 degrees, landed steadily, and then began to speed away.

It perfectly resolved the crisis of the car accelerating out of control.

Clearly, Little Yao Xi's idea was not a sudden whim or a coincidence.

She must have practiced countless times in private! With this move, Little Yao Xi widened the gap between herself and Xiao Aotian by a significant margin.

It's at least twenty meters long!

Xiao Aotian gritted his teeth. "Where did this little girl come from? Aren't minors not allowed to take driving tests?"

Xiao Aotian originally didn't take Little Yao Xi seriously.

A ten-year-old kid who can't even hold the steering wheel properly! But as it turns out, Little Yao Xi not only holds it well, but drives incredibly well! Little Yao Xi even waved to Xiao Aotian, Hao Yunqi, and Zhuang Youqian while holding the steering wheel with one hand on a straight road:

"Good luck to you three uncles! I'm off now!"

"Oh! Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Little Yao Xi's speed has now exceeded 180!

Her twin ponytails were blown into a single shape.

But she wasn't afraid at all, and she had a sweet smile!

Only Yang Shan knew just how terrifying Little Yao Xi really was.

Calling her a "Innate Mini-Game Prodigy" is no exaggeration.

Little Yao Xi is not only talented, but also has incredibly fast reflexes.

Moreover, she genuinely enjoys the various built-in mini-games within the alchemy system.

I spend eight hours a day playing the full diamond mini-game and I never get tired of it.

Yang Shan feels a lot of pressure if he only relies on his skills!

As for why Little Yao Xi is fourth, this Gu Ling little girl is simply playing tactics! Everyone knows that in item races, the top players are always eyeing the first place.

Whoever is first gets hit by the props!

So Little Yao Xi followed closely Zhuang Youqian, who was ranked third, behaving very "well-behavedly".

Throughout the journey, she only accelerated a few times to ensure she didn't fall too far behind.

In item races, players can store a maximum of two items.

If you acquire more items, the first item you acquired will automatically disappear.

Little Yao Xi has been saving her items, waiting for a crucial opportunity! The finish line isn't too far away anymore.

Just now, the top three were bombarded with props. If Yao Xi remembered correctly, Zhuang Youqian and Hao Yunqi had already used up all their props.

There will be no more supplies available for the rest of this stretch of road.

Only Xiao Aotian had one item left that he hadn't used.

But it doesn't matter, Little Yao Xi has another one.

Even if Xiao Aotian could use props to delay her, she could still retaliate.

This gap of over twenty meters will be a distance that Xiao Aotian, who is ranked second, will never be able to catch up with!

Little Yao Xi: "We're going to win! We're going to win! I'm so happy!"

The joyful expression on Little Yao Xi's face melted the hearts of all the viewers.

Outside the race track, a huge crowd of people stood up and cheered for Little Yao Xi: "Ah! She's so cute!"

"So cute and strong, what good deeds did her parents do in their past lives to have such an amazing daughter?"

"Yao Xi! Ah! Yao Xi! Go, go! The championship is yours!"

"I knew from the start that this girl was something special. See how sharp my eye is!"

"No! No! Holy crap! What's that red light in the back?"

"Damn, that's some speed! How come the flames from his jet spray are changing color?"

"Yang One-Blade! Yang One-Blade has caught up!"

There's one last bend left to reach the finish line, followed by a long straight.

The Flamboyant Red Kart sped forward, accelerating with Nitrogen Acceleration, leaving Xiao Aotian, Hao Yunqi, Zhuang Youqian, and a host of spectators in awe.

Yang Shan's ranking has dropped from "5" to "2"! Only Little Yao Xi take the crown!

Yang Shan pressed the button next to the steering wheel again.

Nitrogen Acceleration! Yang Shan deliberately saved two Nitrogen Acceleration items while chasing the top four drivers.

And in the last item acquisition, I successfully obtained a Nitrogen Acceleration.

Just before acquiring the item, Yang Shan consumed one of his items.

Maximize the effect of the items!

Yang Shan's Flamboyant Red Kart was the best performing one in the entire arena.

Yang Shan is now using Nitrogen Acceleration one last time.

He easily overtook them, a mere twenty meters away.

As the Flamboyant Red Kart whizzed past, Little Yao Xi finally realized what was happening. "Hey! Uncle!"

Yang Shan was driving too fast, and Little Yao Xi's face showed various expressions of anxiety:

"Oh no, it's all over! Xixi lost again!"

"Damn Yang One-Blade!"

Xiao Aotian, who came in third, looked at Yang Shan with eyes blazing with anger.

Is this going to become another one-man show by Yang One-Blade? Xiao Aotian looked at the list; there was only one prop left.

Nitrogen Acceleration! But he knew that given the current situation and the performance of Yang Shan's car, even with Nitrogen Acceleration, he wouldn't be able to catch up.

It's possible that it could surpass Little Yao Xi.

Xiao Aotian suddenly called out, "Little girl! Do you have any more props?"

Little Yao Xi: "Huh? Uncle in black, are you asking me?"

"Right."

"There's one more, but it's no use, we can't catch up."

"We can catch up!"

Xiao Aotian pressed the button next to the steering wheel.

Flames began to shoot from the two jets! Xiao Aotian steered the wheel and caught up with Little Yao Xi in two seconds.

But he did not choose to pass by Little Yao Xi.

Instead, he found the right angle and used his own car to crash into the rear of Little Yao Xi's car!

The front of the car was right against the pink go-kart's jet nozzle! Xiao Aotian shouted, "Little girl, I'll give you a hand, how about you go and get first place?"

Little Yao Xi: "Hey? Uncle in black, why are you helping me?"

Xiao Aotian subconsciously wanted to say, "I've disliked Yang One-Blade for a long time!" But when he saw Little Yao Xi's innocent little face, he decided to give the child some positive guidance.

"Because you're really great, Little Friend! We still have a chance to compete for first place, so we have to work hard and never give up!"

Little Yao Xi nodded very seriously. "Xixi understands!"

Xiao Aotian floored the accelerator, propelling the pink go-kart forward.

The Nitrogen Acceleration ended with one hundred meters remaining until the finish line.

Xiao Aotian couldn't help but shout, "Little Friend, go for it! You have to get first place!"

The sudden turn of events caused the entire audience to stand up.

Yang Shan, who was leisurely strolling at the front and watching the finish line getting closer and closer, heard the cheers of the audience.

"Go, little sister! Go!"

"You're amazing! You can do it!"

"Please don't let Yang One-Blade get first place! I'm begging you, my little darling!"

"You are the hope of our entire server! Defeat Yang One-Blade!"

"Little Yao Xi, go for it!"

Yang Shan turned around in surprise and happened to see the back of Little Yao Xi's carriage open, revealing a cannon barrel.

Little Yao Xi even made a gesture:

"Hey buddy, get ready, rocket launch!"
