Swish!

Bang!

The exit of the single-plank bridge was a steep slope, with a fault line at the end. The racers would have to make a small jump to enter the next section of the track.

This was also why all three had chosen to change tires before the single-plank bridge.

Accumulated water flowed into the creek along the track. The three racers fell from the sky, and the splashing water broke the calm of the waterlogged track.

Depending on the tires, the GD Racers performed very differently on different terrains.

And all three racers had the experience of switching to sponge tires in advance.

Sponge tires had less elasticity, making it less likely to roll over after falling from a jump. Their grip was relatively small, so they had to bump into the walls to maintain stability.

However, because Zhou Chi fell into the creek, the command could not be transmitted in time. His racer habitually went up the wall, but due to the insufficient grip of the sponge tires, it rolled over.

Qi Tian and A Lie seized this great opportunity and successfully overtook him.

Anti-Collision Mode activated!

The waterlogged track was not a pure straight line.

Although the curves were not obvious, the two who had run it once knew that accidents were most likely to happen on the curves.

Entering the curve on the waterlogged ground, Qi Tian took the initiative to slow down, temporarily avoiding the brunt of the impact.

A Lie, on the other hand, took the lead for the first time, frowning slightly, but after a moment's hesitation, he chose to accelerate to expand his advantage.

"Charge! Charge!"

A Lie guessed that Qi Tian's ultimate move should still be the use of wind, and the rear of the car should be the most dangerous place.

Taking advantage of the relatively gentle curve in the waterlogged area this time, he prepared to test it out, but he didn't expect Qi Tian to decisively avoid the battle.

"Tian! What exactly is your ultimate move?"

A Lie tried to accelerate to get rid of Qi Tian, but unfortunately, the effect was not obvious.

"I won't tell you! Changed the battery!"

Replacing parts after receiving the car was a daily occurrence in A Lie's live broadcast. His speed was also a little faster than Qi Tian's.

"I'll go first!"

On the 300-meter 'zigzag' uphill and downhill, the distance between A Lie and Qi Tian was only a few seconds, and this distance was still shortening.

The Wind God's use of wind allowed it to climb hills without fear. If A Lie's Charge hadn't deliberately blocked it, the strong driving force would have been able to complete the overtake long ago!

"Is it behind? I won't give you a chance!" The two racers were biting each other tightly, but the two were chatting and laughing.

"I don't need you to give me a chance! Watch! It's here! Wind God! Full speed ahead!"

As the steep slope approached the highest point, the Wind God's body began to change slightly. When A Lie's Charge crossed the highest point and prepared to go downhill, there were no more obstacles in front.

The Wind God rushed into the sky!

The slight changes in the car's body caused the entire body to rotate, like a Mystical Space Typhoon drawing a beautiful parabola in the air.

Overtake!

"Holy crap!"

'Holy crap'

The live broadcast was filled with "holy crap." Even A Lie couldn't help but say it.

"Hehehe! I'll go first!"

The driver's following track did not reach the highest point of the track, so the slope was much gentler.

Qi Tian triumphantly overtook A Lie, speeding up his Electric Roller Skates to keep up with the racer.

The Wind God flew a long distance and successfully landed. The huge kinetic energy further accelerated the speed of the straight track after landing.

At the same time, Wang Bowen gave up the race, holding his racer.

His racer had been washed by silt and water and could no longer run.

Although there was still a chance of rescue, it was impossible to start it, at least in the short term.

Currently on the track, the top three were quite far apart.

Qi Tian was leading, and A Lie was trying to catch up, but the distance was slowly closing, and there was basically no chance of catching up.

But A Lie didn't give up.

Because under normal circumstances, the distance should be getting farther and farther. Being able to close the distance meant that there must be something wrong with Qi Tian's racer.

He was betting!

Betting that Qi Tian's racer would break down before the finish line!

Zhou Chi in the back could basically only compete for third place.

Holding on to third place was a victory!

The three behind him were chasing each other.

Zhou Yan was stuck with Qian Lai, unable to escape or bump him off.

Luo Dani, on the other hand, seized the opportunity to overtake. Qian Lai tried to use her for leverage, but she dodged him, and he carelessly fell to last place.

To make matters worse, Zhou Yan's racer was extremely destructive, so Qian Lai didn't dare to overtake him easily. The result was that he ended up helping Luo Dani contain Zhou Yan for nothing.

By the time they reached the single-plank bridge track, Zhou Yan and Qian Lai were basically out of the running.

"Thanks~"

At least Qian Lai got a thank you from Luo Dani, while Zhou Yan was itching for a real fight, feeling utterly disgusted.

At this point, the final was nearing its end.

Zhou Chi and Luo Dani, in third and fourth place, were neck and neck. The former's wall-riding skills had no room to shine, and the latter's dodging skills weren't very useful either.

And A Lie's hopes were realized on the cliff track before the finish line!

Using the same perfect jump technique, Qi Tian repeated his trick.

The racer, like a Mystical Space Typhoon, drew a beautiful arc, but it didn't land as smoothly as the first time.

The moment the racer landed, its body fell apart.

Qi Tian hadn't had much time to perfect this special move. A Lie's Charge had been blocking his path with its snake-like maneuvers, and he couldn't bump it off, so he had to bite the bullet and try it.

He actually had another special move, but A Lie hadn't followed him closely enough at the time.

Otherwise, Qi Tian could have created turbulence behind his racer, and even though A Lie's Charge had a lower center of gravity, it would definitely have flipped over during the turn.

Unfortunately, Qi Tian hesitated the second time.

He felt that the puddle turn wasn't enough, and forcing the move would only cause A Lie to crash into him, resulting in both of them being eliminated, which wouldn't be as effective.

He was confident that he could give up the position and still successfully overtake on the straight track, but he didn't expect A Lie to have this trick up his sleeve.

His usual training had become the best reference for snake-like maneuvers, and for a moment, Qi Tian really couldn't find a way to overtake.

After all, even though the former rascal had changed a lot, he still couldn't calmly wait for the best opportunity when faced with this kind of setback.

Forcing the special move without replacing the parts in time directly led to failure at the last moment.

"First place, A Lie!"

"Second place, Luo Dani!"

"Third place... Qi Tian!"

At the last moment, Qi Tian finished reassembling his racer. Although its speed was greatly reduced, it wasn't too far from the finish line, so he barely managed to complete the race.

Zhou Chi's racer was too light. If a racer with similar speed were to trip him up on the cliff jump track, he would definitely lose!

Thanks to Luo Dani, Qi Tian managed to hold onto third place.

"The motor's no good!" Zhou Chi picked up his racer, determined to at least keep fourth place.

But having missed the top three, he had to consider how to improve.

"Are you okay, Tian Tian?" A Lie had guessed the outcome correctly, but he hadn't expected the side effects of Qi Tian's special move to be so severe.

"Sigh~ What a pity." Qi Tian shook his head, feeling a little regretful.

"Just try harder next time."

Liang Xing, dressed in a suit and tie, appeared after Zhou Yan and Qian Lai had also completed the race.

He patted the little guy on the head as a form of comfort.

"...Didn't get first place." Qi Tian puffed out his cheeks, staring at Liang Xing.

Liang Xing knew exactly what he was thinking, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll play with you."

"Yay!"

The little guy was happy, and Liang Xing prepared to officially present the awards.

Time to start selling new toys. Any good recommendations?
