Track Debut

The second round of promotion came after an interval of one month.

Liang Xing suddenly released a promotional video for the First Baisha City GD Racing Tournament.

It was also the first time people in this Parallel World realized that a race track could be built like this.

The entirety of Baishi Mountain had been completely transformed, its lush green forests clearly traced with the pattern of a coiling dragon.

Aerial footage showed what Baishi Mountain looked like now.

This was a track for toy cars? I'd believe you if you said it was a real racing event!

Grandpa! He uploaded a new video!

This is the competition venue? I love it! I'm definitely coming!

Vanguard Team Club checking in!

Liang Xing rarely posted videos on his Douyin account, but every one of them received an astonishing number of views.

This time, he had waited more than a month before releasing a new video, and it had indeed ignited the hearts of all his viewers in one stroke.

The winding track adorned the emerald forest. The close-up shots of its dragon-like curves revealed a full meter-wide roadway, with dedicated rider-following lanes on both sides for Electric Roller Skates.

At present, every racer following the GD Racing Tournament knew that eight people would compete simultaneously, and destructive components were not allowed to appear openly on the racers' exteriors.

Clearly, the organizers did not encourage deliberately wrecking other people's racers. But if someone insisted on putting effort into concealing offensive components, the organizers would allow it.

After all, every tournament Liang Xing held only ran for one lap. As always, offensive components inevitably added weight and increased a GD Racer's energy consumption.

As long as they could maintain their speed, destructive attacks were also part of the competition.

Liang Xing had even come up with a name for them: Battle Racers.

Of course, the first tournament probably would not see any true Battle Racers, since that would involve chip programming.

Even though Qi Ren's social app, Good Conscience Community, had already launched and was gradually becoming widespread.

There were definitely no more than a handful of racers capable of truly flexible programming.

And how many of them would even be interested in Battle Racers?

Liang Xing had every reason to believe that this GD Racing Tournament would, at most, involve a few collisions. For future competitions, that was perfectly normal!

The close-up shots in the video showed far more than ordinary track.

Asphalt Road, Sand Track, puddles, and many terrains that flashed past too quickly to make out clearly.

Pausing the footage revealed consecutive hairpin bends, cliff-like uphill slopes, narrow tracks resembling single-log bridges, and more.

When should they replace their components?

And how could they get their racers back on track as quickly as possible after they flew off it?

Those were all questions the competitors would have to consider.

In fact, the White Stone Mountain Track was nearing completion, and Liang Xing had specifically chosen today to release the video.

A month ago, Liang Xing had ultimately bought a Dajiang drone to help drive away the Wild Boar.

The results had been fairly good.

After forcibly driving away several massive Wild Boar weighing hundreds of pounds, Liang Xing immediately hired people to fence in all of Baishi Mountain, leaving only a single gate at the track entrance.

Now, the largest heat source on Baishi Mountain was not even as big as a little mutt. There was basically no need to worry about wild animals affecting the race.

Of course, if wild chickens or rabbits really did wander into the venue, they would just have to count themselves unlucky.

Luck was always an indispensable part of any outdoor competition.

With that, the promotional video neared its end.

The entire comment section erupted!

What about the date?

Did you forget something?

My friend is seriously ill. Before he dies, all he wants is to race on this track. Please!

My wallet is crying.

The second round of promotion had mainly introduced the competition venue.

Seeing how satisfied everyone in the comments was with the track, Liang Xing felt immensely proud.

He had personally designed the entire track.

That was also one of the main reasons he had ultimately used a drone to help drive away the Wild Boar.

He simply did not have time to wait until the Flying Broomstick was finished before starting construction, so he had no choice but to drive the Wild Boar away first.

Then, while building the track, he completed the design for the Flying Broomstick.

In truth, no one knew that Zhou Shuya had filmed the aerial footage while sitting on the Flying Broomstick.

"Boss Liang! Take a look at this area. There's really nothing we can do about that water. This damn weather is too hot. It won't last that long."

"Don't worry about that spot. I'll arrange for someone to release water there temporarily when the time comes."

Liang Xing had come this time to inspect the work. The construction crew had been quite efficient, perhaps because the money Liang Xing paid had truly been sufficient.

"Ah, ah! Thank you so much!"

"It's nothing. I'll head up the mountain and inspect it. You all get some rest first."

Liang Xing was especially demanding when it came to the track.

Although the construction crew's progress had indeed been fast, it would all be pointless if the quality was subpar.

Still, judging from what he had seen while filming the promotional video, Liang Xing was fairly reassured.

"Ah, ah! Sure!" The construction boss, speaking in a heavily accented, awkward Mandarin, smilingly watched Liang Xing head up the mountain along the track.

At first, he had wondered why this wealthy boss carried a broom around with him.

Then he saw Liang Xing clamp the broom between his legs and casually straddle it.

Until the broom actually took off, he had merely assumed the wealthy boss had some unusual preferences.

The moment the broom lifted off smoothly, the construction boss was dumbfounded.

The Flying Broomstick was like a horizontal bar. Women could sit sideways on it, while men could be more uninhibited and straddle it directly.

Liang Xing had put considerable effort into that balancing system.

The underlying idea had not been difficult. Once he thought about it, he naturally knew how to make it.

The main issue was the extremely high precision required. The slightest mistake could cost someone their life.

When the Flying Broomstick was completed, Liang Xing had briefly explained its functions in the Toy Factory's senior staff group chat.

Only Zhou Shuya's eyes lit up. She seemed particularly fond of the thing, and before Liang Xing even had to ask, she volunteered to serve as the host of the GD Racing Tournament.

This so-called senior staff group only had three people in total. The other member was the manager of the Changsha County Store, but he was afraid of heights.

Naturally, Zhou Shuya's application passed unanimously.

Still, Liang Xing had specifically rented a helicopter to test the emergency return mode first. The button was located near the broom's head, making it easier for women sitting sideways to press.

Using the helicopter to carry the Flying Broomstick into the sky, Liang Xing deliberately chose a spot above a river with many trees nearby.

The instant he activated emergency return mode, he let go. The Flying Broomstick automatically found a route around the river, dodged the branches, and landed safely.

That left both Zhou Shuya, who had accompanied him, and the helicopter pilot utterly stunned.

Zhou Shuya had thought she would need to take a risk, but with this level of completion, it was simply incredible!

During the final test flight, Zhou Shuya still put on protective gear and strapped numerous safety belts around herself.

If she really failed to stay seated, she could use the safety belts to pull the broom handle downward, tilt it, and adjust her direction with relative ease.

The more Zhou Shuya played with it, the more she liked it, but Liang Xing ultimately still did not sell the Flying Broomstick as an official toy.

After all, this was not something to joke about. No matter how confident Liang Xing was, he could not guarantee that everyone would take safety precautions on every flight.

But if it was merely standard equipment for the host during each competition held by the toy store, Liang Xing could ensure they would wear their safety gear properly.

As a competition organized by the Toy Factory, having matching equipment was perfectly reasonable.

The inspiration for the Flying Broomstick's side-sitting design was Botan from Yu Yu Hakusho.
