"That's very welcome."
After all, he has been an experienced driver for two lifetimes. Shen Qi's face remained unchanged, with only a snicker on his lips. He moved forward gracefully and solemnly took the lemon soda with both hands.
Ayaka narrowed his starry eyes, "Since you accept the duel, please go all out."
"Hmm... huh????"
Chapter 315 Dueling Wine
"Duowu player."
Under Shen Qi's dull eyes, Ayaka took out the second bottle of lemonade from the bag and handed it over.
Duowu, who had a much more solemn expression, did not dare to neglect, took a deep breath, then stepped forward with a resolute attitude and took the soda with both hands.
At this time, there were constant discussions in the audience.
"It's Dueling Wine!"
"It's strange. Ayaka's challenge to T2 Driver is reasonable, but the guy driving it... seems to be Little Sheep. He's just trying to impress people."
"Even if Little Sheep were to compete seriously, Ayaka would not ask him to fight."
"Damn it, I also want to drink the drink given by Ayaka and then be defeated by her."
"Hey, get out."
Listening to the audience's words, the embarrassment in Shen Qi's heart was like a whirlpool at the bottom of the sea, sucking his soul into the abyss.
"This... this thing..."
"Dueling Wine." Duowu looked at Shen Qi in confusion, "Duel rituals are indeed rare in T3 competitions. It's normal that you haven't been exposed to it... But I just saw that you know how to catch it with both hands, so I take it for granted that you know it."
Dueling Wine, one of the rituals in ancient times when two armies faced off or dueled for righteousness.
It is sent by the party proposing the duel, and the other party accepts it to express their agreement.
Since in ancient times, some people who didn't know Wude would poison Dueling Wine, so you don't need to drink it on the spot. Sometimes, the soldiers or the party who brought the wine would take a sip first.
The ceremony has been passed down to modern times, and it does not necessarily require alcohol. Drinks similar to the color of alcohol will do, including mineral water, which can be used to initiate battles, Racing and other competitions.
"I thought it was Ayaka who brought me a drink." Shen Qi rolled his eyes and almost woke up from the Hyuga Clan's Bloodline Limit.
"Ayaka's competition venue is over there at Yūmachi Pier. I drove here specially to deliver drinks to you. How proud of you."
Duowu cupped his hands and clasped his fists, "When it comes to juggling, I lost to you."
From Yūmachi Pier to Dueling Wine, the psychological pressure on Ayaka is actually very great.
If she doesn't do this, no one will know that Rainbow Flying Sword lost so miserably at Saffron City Regular Race.
Nowadays, tourists who see Ayaka's words and deeds will slowly ask about it and know that Rainbow Flying Sword actually lost to D-class Car.
This is the biggest pressure Ayaka has felt since becoming Driver.
She thought about it again and again, and decided to do so. With the idea of facing the past setbacks calmly, she came to send Dueling Wine. Shen Qi with heavy steps. The misunderstanding relieved a lot of depression.
"Hehehe..." Ayaka couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckled, "If you want me to make a special trip to deliver drinks, you have to work hard."
"Why are you laughing?" Shen Qi was unhappy, "Dueling Wine's specifications are too low, Car Badge Duel is capable."
Ayaka's fair facial skin couldn't help but twitch.
My own is Class A Car Rainbow Flying Sword, which is unique, and the car logo is also the only model designed by Celadon City University and Caizhuang groups;
Opposite is Little Sheep!
Too lazy to pay attention to Shen Qi's nonsense, Ayaka turned his body to one side, feeling the psychological burden rising again.
There is also a bottle of lemonade in Plastic Bag, which can also perform a Dueling Wine ritual. The goal is of course...Meng Ai!
That Cultivation Pod has relatively better performance among the Class B Car. It is more reasonable to challenge the owner of the Meng Ai than to challenge the owner of the Little Sheep.
But Meng Ai looks like that... isn't he really a primary school student?
Challenging her to a duel seemed a bit bullying.
At this point, Ayaka sent Dueling Wine to Shen Qi and Duowu, and they are already riding a tiger.
This is the arena, and age is no excuse to avoid fighting in the arena. Ayaka The only way to not give Meng Ai Dueling Wine is to look down on her and not regard her as an opponent.
Outside the temporary Service Bay, Ayaka stood a little uneasily.
Shen Qi and Duowu, who also accepted the challenge, also walked over there.
Inside the shed-shaped Service Bay, the girl-shaped Meng Ai is wiping her Pokémon.
Venusaur...
The final form of Kanto Starter Pokémon, Grass-type.
Cultivation Pod and Venusaur, no matter how you look at them, people feel that the background of Meng Ai is not simple.
"...Meng Ai."
Ayaka hesitated again and took out the lemon soda from Plastic Bag.
"This... is for you."
Meng Ai wore gray-white Racing Suit early, which is similar to Saffron City Regular Race at that time. He has a young and thin body, slightly messy ice-blue hair that reaches his shoulders, and his eyes and expressions tend to be dull.
Woohoo~
This is Growl from Venusaur.
Bulbasaur's Growl is similar to: seed, seed.
The final form of Venusaur can emit the first three stages of Growl.
Venusaur's own: Huawu~wuwu~
Bulbasaur: seed, seed
Ivysaur: Grass!
Pokémon was reminded like this, and Meng Ai's eyes felt alive.
Her steps were a little unsteady, a bit like Tangled Feet was learning to walk. She swayed and trotted to the door, looking at Ayaka with her big eyes expectantly.
Looking closely, Meng Ai's eyes are also very special, they are the same icy blue as the hair.
If it were mixed with a few more green tones... it would be a bit similar to Petri Dish, which would be so unpleasant.
Ayaka knew that the Meng Ai in front of him would be mistaken.
If you were Shen Qi, you would have misunderstood and you would be ruthlessly laughed at by Ayaka and Duowu. Shen Qi would fight back with Car Badge Duel.
The current target is Meng Ai. Ayaka couldn't help but feel that the little girl was expecting a drink. It turned out that this was a Dueling Wine ceremony, which was quite cruel.
This is an arena!
Ayaka Bite Ya reminded himself again and told the truth, "Meng Ai, this is Dueling Wine, my goal is Winter Race Champion, T3 three consecutive championships, I will definitely beat you!"
The words are a bit harsh for children, but Shen Qi and Duowu think they should still be given.
In the arena, the greatest respect is to fight with all your strength.
"Wine?"
Meng Ai was a little sluggish, and even came closer to smell the bottle.
Due to the Dueling Wine ritual, no matter if you buy mineral water, lemonade or anything else, the outer wrapping paper must be torn off.
Meng Ai is guessing whether Ayaka put home-brewed wine in a drink bottle as Present.
"I... can't drink."
The voice was soft and delicate, like a child talking in sleep.
It's a pity that I have to tell her the reality...
"Meng Ai, it's like this..."
Ayaka squatted down to tell the whole story, and handed Dueling Wine closer.
"I'm just here to put an end to my past failures. It's a ritualistic act. You can refuse it, it doesn't matter."
Meng Ai was stagnant for a long time. Ayaka couldn't bear it. He looked at the time again and it was time to Yūmachi Pier and Qualifying Race.
"Don't force it..."
"Oh, it's okay..."
Taking the drink bottle with his little hand, Meng Ai lowered his head and turned around to enter Service Bay.
When she remembered something and turned around to say thank you or goodbye out of politeness, she only saw Ayaka leaving in a hurry.
In the audience, some insiders have already spread the news about Saffron City Regular Race. Ayaka has more fans, and they all hope to accompany Racing Driver, whom they support, to win three consecutive T3 championships.
Checking the Racing License videos and written reports at that time, the audience found that Rainbow Flying Sword was blocked by strange Cultivation Pod in various ways, and finally got Regular Race in sixth place, and they all complained.
In the hustle and bustle, Meng Ai returned to Service Bay, holding Venusaur in his arms silently.
Chapter 316 Qualifying Race Abnormality
Starting from Qualifying Race, Driver will enter the 10-kilometer test track one by one, and the starting order of the official race will be determined by the time taken.
8 minutes and 51 seconds;
8 minutes and 53 seconds;
8 minutes and 41 seconds...
Looking at the results list, Shen Qi knows that the level of Driver in the first round of Preliminaries is mostly not good.
Vermilion City Autumn Race, Lilligant's Qualifying Race's best lap time is 8 minutes and 29 seconds. If the mentality is explosive, it will be about ten seconds slower.
Qualifying Race are both 10-kilometer stages with the same difficulty.
In fact, it is a fantasy to achieve "the same difficulty" in different places and different tracks. Differences in road conditions, curves, and even climate will affect the difficulty. It is impossible to measure such an abstract concept.
However, Driver Association has its own dynamic balance standard, and the difficulty is very different, so the Qualifying Race score can be used as a side reference.
"Oh, Duowu 8 minutes and 10 seconds."
