"Shen Qi, long time no see."
Inside the Fuchsia Gym, Janine hurriedly greeted him.
She had work to take care of during the day, so she had a ninja dressed as a Lass entertain Shen Qi.
"Mr. Shen Qi, there's a Regular Race here in Fuchsia City in three days. Will you stay and enter?"
"No... Little Sheep hasn't been repaired yet."
One of Little Sheep's four engine cylinders had blown. Its power was only enough for commuting on ordinary roads at best, and its stability and engine lifespan had also been greatly reduced.
Shen Qi only had 90,000 b in savings. Replacing the engine would really stretch his budget.
Last July, when he bought Li Yizi's "Used by a Girl" engine, Huzang had helped haggle the price down to 70,000 b.
Little Sheep definitely needed more than just engine repairs... What should he do?
"That's a real shame," the Female Ninja replied. "Entering the Regular Race in three days would be like getting free admission to a song-and-dance performance."
"Song and dance?"
"Yes. Miss Li Yizi finished her commercial performance in Sunshine Town, and her schedule has been fairly open lately. When she heard Fuchsia City had a Regular Race, she signed up."
Sunshine Town and Fuchsia City were connected by a bridge, with White Cape between them. Lilligant had entered a Regular Race there before.
With Li Yizi's style of competing, she would put on a song-and-dance performance for the audience before the race. Afterward... if she hadn't crashed too badly, she would dance in a closing performance too.
That made Li Yizi every organizer's absolute favorite driver. She could draw an even bigger crowd than a T1 driver, boosting ticket prices while still packing the stands.
Hearing Li Yizi's name, Shen Qi wasn't thinking about singing or
