"It's strange..."
In the last 3 kilometers of the race, Rainbow Flying Sword caught up with 5th Place and no longer made any move to continue with Pursuit.
Feiyue made no movement, but Shen Qi could clearly feel the restlessness of other Driver.
From T2, who was accelerating at the front, to the third and fourth positions, everyone was desperately trying to find the bottom of the box.
Originally, in the second half of the first round, Preliminaries just needed to maintain a good position in order to advance steadily, but Rainbow Flying Sword suddenly caught up behind them, which really put a lot of pressure on them.
No one wants to be let down for a lap, lead for half a lap and then be overtaken. The appearance of Rainbow Flying Sword is like a shark appearing after Schooling, causing the fish in front to run forward lifelessly.
The two T3 Drivers behind Little Sheep are not as stable in mentality as Shen Qi, nor do they have as many Trump Cards and reserves of strength. They keep catching up and trying to overtake each other.
One kilometer away from the finish line, Racing, which was originally on 4th Place, skidded at a corner, rushed off the track, and was overtaken by the cars behind it.
However, until the end of the game, Rainbow Flying Sword was still firmly in 5th Place.
He chased 5th Place in a teasing manner, causing turmoil in the car ahead of him. Even Driver, who was supposed to advance, was eliminated in the first round due to his abnormal performance under pressure.
Compared to Ayaka, Feiyue is really... too bad.
After qualifying for promotion, Shen Qi walked around the auditorium twice to display advertisements.
On the other side, Feiyue started a scolding war with the fanatical fans of Ayaka.
Although one enemy is against many, Feiyue is so domineering that not only fans of Taunt also like to see their incompetent and furious image of being angry and unable to make Feiyue eliminated.
To be honest, Feiyue is indeed more suitable to be Driver than Ayaka. No matter how noisy outside the stadium, he remains focused while driving and is not affected by external public opinion. It is better than Ayaka who blames himself too much.
Moreover... the style shown by Feiyue is barbaric, but it still has strength and strategy.
According to the current difficulty level of Summer Race, Rainbow Flying Sword cannot produce valuable scientific research data in the first round.
Feiyue made a fool of himself, and Rainbow Flying Sword got the rare last-place position. He let off for half a lap, experienced continuous overtaking, and then caught up to the promotion circle.
If you run a game like this, you may have diverse data that can be studied.
Feiyue was promoted, showed great strength, and also took into account the scientific research team. Whether she planned it from the beginning or performed on the spot, she was strong enough.
"Shen Qi!"
In the distance, a girl wielding a baseball bat strode forward, pointing the stick forward.
"Let's duel!"
"Ah? Are you dueling with Little Sheep?"
"Don't pretend to be weak. Ayaka has lost to you and defeated you in Rainbow Flying Sword. It's just back and forth."
Feiyue waved the baseball bat, "And I will completely defeat you!"
"Then see you Finals."
"Okay!"
He readily agreed, Feiyue put away his baseball bat and left.
It can be seen from the game just now that she is very strong, but Shen Qi cannot judge how strong she is.
Let go for half a lap, and then catch up from the 20th position to the 5th place... In fact, you don't need to be very top-notch, just the T3 peak period.
In this Preliminaries, most of Driver's abilities are obvious, including Trainee, Feiyue's operations cannot be used as a reference case to compare with Ayaka.
What is certain is her mentality. Her mentality is better than Ayaka, and she knows how to stop and retain her strength.
"Let's go." Shen Qi picked up Golett, "Go find Florges."
Lilligant Chansey is full of energy and they didn't feel much pressure during the competition. Dodo was also relaxed.
Only Lopunny has not yet escaped from the tension. He is still in shock, fearing that Shen Qi will not advance because of him.
Take Pokémon, Shen Qi and drive Little Sheep to the off-site dessert truck.
With Shen Qi here, Florges can sell out the inventory quickly and go home early to rest.
"Wow--"
"It's Shen Qi!"
The appearance of Shen Qi brought a lot of popularity, and the area around the dining car gradually became lively.
"Sorry, no interviews." Shen Qi prompted.
The media remembered to take photos of Shen Qi selling desserts around. They wanted to interview or ask questions privately, but they were all rejected one by one.
Remember, we know that Shen Qi has a consistent style. He rarely promotes or creates hot spots in public places. At most, he advertises his hometown industry and gradually disappears after taking photos.
As Florges's desserts were sold out, Play Rough's children and Pokémon at the dining car also dispersed amid the calls of their parents.
It's only 20 o'clock, which is not too late, but the competition is scheduled on a working day, and the children have to go to school the next day.
From the beginning of the game in the afternoon to this time, many vendors were so busy that they were exhausted and the customer flow decreased, so they closed their stalls early.
Security Guard, Officer Jenny, as well as Security Bureau's Arcanine, Stoutland, Noctowl, Gumshoos and other Pokémon are still conscientiously patrolling around the arena.
Tomorrow there will be Group B for the first round of Preliminaries, Refreshing Village track changes, and Group B's more than 20 groups will continue to be used.
"Shen Qi."
"Shen Qi player."
A somewhat reserved call came, and Shen Qi found it was a woman in reporter uniform and a man carrying a video recorder.
At this time, the video recorder had been turned off, and the reporter had no radio equipment in hand.
"What's wrong? I don't accept personal interviews."
"No, no." The reporter waved his hands repeatedly, showing an apologetic smile, "When Shen Qi player Spring Race withdrew... we also edited some speculations about rumors."
Spring Race, Little Sheep went to pick up Skeleton Fossil in the middle of the third round, and retired due to a foul. And because Shen Qi did not come forward to explain, the news was all over the place.
The most common one is that Shen Qi feels that Finals can't get good results, so he just wants to make some gimmicks to please others;
It is also said that Little Sheep was secretly manipulated by competitors, causing it to run off the track.
Anyway, one is more outrageous than the other.
I understand their need to chase traffic and hot spots, but only this pair can apologize in person in front of Shen Qi.
"I am Mary, he is photographer Xiao Dai, from Hoenn TV Station."
In Hoenn Region, they are the only reporter group that players can meet, and they are the signature media people of Hoenn Radio/Mauville Radio.
"Forget it, it's all over."
When Research Conference was held, all the rumors about Shen Qi were naturally shattered, and there was no need to take another glance at it.
"That's right." Mary stroked his short hair, "We feel guilty, so we handed over the original report and the film to the Shen Qi contestant. Please feel free to Destruction or do other things with it."
The photographer handed over a file bag, which contained a palm-sized portable model Digital Camera and a report manuscript.
The camera contains photos of Shen Qi, and the photos were used to fabricate the reasons why Shen Qi retired from the competition.
Mary and Xiao Dai gave the cameras and documents to Shen Qi to express their guilt.
"The camera... don't give it to me."
"Hey." Mary sighed, "We are serious media people from a major TV station. We shouldn't be like this. Giving up this camera can be regarded as a warning to ourselves and Punishment."
Chapter 514 Groundless Scandal
Hum!
Lilligant-Looking bulging with air
"What's wrong?"
Holding the portfolio, Shen Qi comforted Lilligant.
Shen Qi knows the reason why Lilligant is angry, of course it is because of the media that makes much ado about nothing.
During the time when Shen Qi and Li Ke were doing low-key research, Lilligant and Lopunny would get angry every time they saw nonsense and gimmick speculation about Little Sheep's retirement on the Internet.
Not to mention the two of them, the dignified and elegant Florges rarely looked at her mobile phone in those two months, out of sight but out of mind.
However, we have to keep a low profile when conducting research behind Pewter Science Museum's back. Shen Qi cannot stand up to clarify anything, and Pokémon can only sulk.
The press conference of Research Achievement is over, Lilligant and Lopunny pulled Florges to report it, which was a great pleasure.
Later, articles that were self-defeating rumors were also removed from the shelves.
Today, Hoenn TV Station's media people are willing to hand over the negatives and the plaintiff to Shen Qi, and also apologize in person. Compared with other colleagues, this is really good.
Shen Qi thought so, Lilligant became angry again.
'I'm going to tear up the manuscript! I'm going to smash the camera!'
"Hey, hey, it won't happen."
It's no problem to tear up the manuscript, and it's no problem to clear the camera data, but you can keep the camera, it's a good thing, not to mention going out to take pictures of Pokémon, or selling it for money.
Hum!
Lilligant held Shen Qi's arm tightly, and Lopunny also pulled Shen Qi's other sleeve, asking Pokémon Trainer to squat down and take out the things to look at.
"Okay, okay."
Pokémon is about one meter tall, and Shen Qi squatted down and opened the file bag so that they could see it.
Gujī?
Jili?
Dodo and Chansey, who were helping to clean up in the dining car, noticed that everyone was gathering outside to study something, and Golett, who was not sure what was going on, also followed suit and squeezed in.
There were no customers around and the flow of people was less. They were not in a hurry to clean up. Dodo and Chansey also ran out of the dining car one after another to see what treasure Shen Qi was opening.
The first thing I took out was a manuscript.
Manuscript torn from the notepad that the reporter carried with him.
In some places, electronic devices are prohibited, and jotting down inspiration is a common practice for media people.
The title on the manuscript is:
"Driver Shen Qi Intimate private meeting with little girl before the game"
