Service Bay where Shen Qi is located is full of weird laughter.
Golett didn't know what was happening at all, so he also followed and laughed heartily.
Lilligant and Lopunny also laughed and bent over. This time Summer Race could get the top 5. They were a little sure before, but they didn't expect that 4th Place would get it like this.
It's really an unintentional move. It's just a car like Little Sheep. No one cares about the external structure.
The internal structure of the car body has been cleaned up, and it is suitable for competition. A car of this level like Little Sheep has scratches and bumps on the outside, and they are too lazy to repair it, so the license plate half falls off in the forward direction.
No one would deliberately design a car like this, adding a protruding thing in front of the front bumper, which destroys the entire aerodynamic design and increases wind resistance.
It's better to clean up the car and run faster.
It was really an unintentional move.
Shen Qi I wanted to express my blessings of good luck, but then I swallowed my words.
Where is the good luck?
At such a critical moment in the second half of the second lap, the brake pads failed. If I hadn't stabilized my mentality and combined with Game Item's cool maneuvers, I wouldn't have been able to get the ranking even if a ten-meter-long license plate was added to the front of the car.
"Damn it."
Feiyue threw the evil girl Helmet with a skull into the car and came fiercely with a baseball bat. Those who didn't know it thought they wanted to fight Shen Qi.
And instead of Pokémon fighting, Pokémon Trainer started fighting directly.
"What are you doing?!"
Shen Qi took two steps back, "I got the ranking based on my strength."
"I know." Feiyue bared his teeth fiercely, "But that doesn't stop me from saying something mean to you!"
"I am the Driver who is most suitable for Rainbow Flying Sword!"
Feiyue roared like this.
"Let me ask you something." Shen Qi did not comment and changed the subject, "During the latter part of the game, my Little Sheep was a little out of control."
"Yes, I thought you had a seizure."
"You're not convulsed, I want to convulse you."
Shen Qi squinted at Feiyue speechlessly, "At that time, I felt that there was something wrong with the right front wheel brake, as if Racing Brake Pads felt that it was not at operating temperature."
"Ah? It's so strange." Feiyue squatted down and muttered, "It really looks like the owner, it's a mess."
"Why does a good girl have such a big mouth?"
Although he kept talking, Feiyue actually felt something was wrong in his heart.
Generally speaking, the brake pads are a complete set. Anyway, they should be one set for the front wheels and one set for the rear wheels, and the degree of wear is about the same.
Moreover, the brake pads of Shen Qi were replaced not long ago. Logically speaking, there will not be a huge difference and they will wear out together.
"It can't be seen from the outside, so just take it apart."
Feiyue stood up from a crouching inspection position, "Let me tell you beforehand, my Celadon City University research team won't do anything to help you. I'm just curious to see what kind of aircraft you have built."
"Stop being so bad-mouthed and wait until I lift the car."
Summer Race Finals Service Bay is relatively luxurious and comes with lifts, jacks and other equipment. As long as there are enough manpower and Pokémon, Driver can handle Racing by itself without going to the repair area.
"Shen Qi!"
Just as Little Sheep was slowly rising, a boy with an instant noodle head holding a camera came in happily.
It is Driver and Archer who won the first place.
"Eh? Contestant Archer, nice to meet you, you are..."
"Hahaha, let me say hello, you're welcome." Archer patted Shen Qi's arm, "Tracey and I are good friends. He can't come to the game, so he asked me to say hello to you."
Tracey and Archer have both worked as assistants for Professor Oak, so it is normal for them to be familiar with each other.
As Viridian City agent Gym Leader, Tracey wants to become official Gym Leader, and is participating in T2 Battle Competition in June.
The T2 of the Racing project is in July, and the competition schedule is longer, so it has already started in June. In fact, Tracey is also in Cerulean City, but there is definitely no time to watch the game.
Archer is Pokémon Photography Photographer+Researcher. On weekdays, when I don't have a job, I will travel across mountains and ridges to take precious photos of Pokémon. My skin is tanned and my personality is quite cheerful. I can get to know each other in just a few sentences.
"What happened to your car?"
"So and so."
Shen Qi told Archer about Little Sheep's battle situation, and Feiyue was not satisfied at first.
"Hmph! I have to leave my affairs to others. If you don't trust my skills, just let Champion take a look."
Feiyue left in a petty manner, while Archer just laughed dryly.
The competition has progressed to this day, and everyone has heard about Feiyue's style and performance for a long time, and there is no way to make sense of it.
After the front wheel of Little Sheep was removed, Shen Qi and Archer were compared, and the newly replaced brake pads were not actually damaged enough to need to be replaced again.
Dodo and Flaaffy of Archer also helped with the inspection, and there was indeed no additional fault.
As for the cause of brake failure, as Shen Qi felt, the brake pads were lower than their operating temperature, resulting in poor performance.
Archer found light gray traces on Brake Disc that looked like limewater flowing through.
When Racing Brake Pads works in a low-temperature environment, not only the braking force is insufficient, but also a large amount of dust is generated.
Because it rained heavily today, Cerulean Cave and the outside were very wet, so there were traces of dust being washed away by the rain and flowing through Brake Disc.
"The temperature is not high enough, it's a bit outrageous."
It was already the second half of the Second Lap of the Race. After driving intensely for such a long time, even if rainwater poured directly on the Brake Caliper, the temperature might not drop down.
The wheels are connected to the brake structure within the coverage of the car shell, so it is difficult to be directly exposed to the rain. Most of the moisture in contact is rolled up by the tires running over the water, which cannot achieve the cooling effect of the brake pads.
"Just now..." Archer recalled the entire track, "There were so many difficulties just now, and none of them seemed to have been designed by Bing Type Energy."
The track level has the Ice-type design, which may cause the temperature of the brake pads to drop sharply after contact. However, there are no ice-related levels in today's game.
"Could it be Snowscape?"
One of the other two Racings that competed with Shen Qi for the 5th, 6th and 7th positions was played by Snow. It is possible that Ice-type Infinity Energy happened to be piled up somewhere, and Racing drove over and got caught in the middle of the brake pads.
"Maybe, maybe not." Archer spread his hands helplessly, "Racing There are always unforeseen surprises in the process, which is also one of the charms of competition."
Chapter 537 Feasibility of Hisui Pokémon
Little Sheep started to lose control, and Shen Qi also started to use [Analysis Card] to sense Type Energy in all directions.
Speaking of bad luck, I ran into piles of Ice-type Infinity Energy and Shen Qi, but I really didn't have much of an impression.
I'm worried about myself again, how could such a coincidence... oh, it should be said that such an unlucky thing happened.
Fortunately, I turned the tide and finally got the ranking.
"Let's go to Podium."
The broadcast outside was already calling the Drivers to come up to the stage to receive their awards. The top three had three-level platforms of different heights that are common in sports events. They were designed to be very wide, allowing Driver and his own Pokémon to stand on them together.
Four or five people stood on the left and right. There was no platform, which was quite impressive for Shen Qi.
4th Place, bonus of 400,000 b, 20 basic points + 11 points Technical Score.
It can be clearly felt that in the Pokémon Trainer competition, Technical Score gave more than Pokémon. Last year, Autumn Race Champion Blastoise Technical Score only got 10 points, while Shen Qi actually got 11 points.
Archer has nearly 30 technical points.
The Pokémon Trainer competition has one more round, and more Pokémon tactics and skills need to be used and balanced.
After the settlement of the game, Shen Qi has 105 points of Driver Points, a savings of 780,000 b!
So happy!
Having so much money makes people feel happy just looking at it.
At the same time, Shen Qi also knew that there would be a huge expense in the future.
T2 Race and Huzang in October will install his creation Engine into Little Sheep.
It is said that it is fulfilling his wish, but it is impossible for Shen Qi not to give Huzang a penny.
It is very possible to invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to develop a powerful Engine.
Huzang does not have such a strong research team and funds, so it does not develop from scratch, but to improve an existing Engine according to his ideas, which still requires a lot of time and effort.
"Everyone Driver, please look over here!"
The photographer picked up the lens and said, "Let's take a group photo."
"Yes, yes, look here, everyone is laughing."
"Uh..." The photographer hired by Organizers looked at the boy with the camera next to him with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Contestant Archer, don't come down to take pictures yourself. If you come down to take pictures, how can I take a group photo for you?"
"Hahaha, sorry, I like photography so much that my hands are a little itchy."
At the end of the game, Shen Qi resigned from the invitation with Archer and Lisia and went to another place.
Li Ke and Hinako came to watch Shen Qi's game as agreed, so they can't be left alone.
Moreover, we will have to rely on them to carry out important projects in the future.
"Cheers!"
"What a beautiful game!"
There are two tables in the room, one large and one small. The small table is higher. Shen Qi, Li Ke, and Hinako are sitting around the table.
The other large table is shorter, and the dishes on the table tend to be of Pokémon taste, with ingredients of Type Energy cuisine. Their respective Pokémons are eating and playing there.
The only exception is Golett.
Shen Qi made something similar to a baby dining cart, put it in it, placed it next to his table, and fed Pokémon Rations one spoon at a time.
Golett is still a child weighing just over 100 pounds. You must first feed him until he is 70% full, and then let him sit at the table over at Pokémon to avoid neglecting his food while playing.
Feeling Golett's belly, Shen Qi was almost 70% full as he wanted. He could just go over and eat whatever he wanted with other Pokémon.
"You are really amazing." Li Ke gave a thumbs up, "You can actually feel if you are full by touching that stone-shaped belly."
"Once you're used to feeding, you can change how full you feel through Type Energy."
