"Why didn't it slow down?"
A Lie's Charge Horn was caught just as it was about to shoot out of the plaza.
Thankfully, it was only a basic model. If it had been a modified racer, Liang Xing really wouldn't have dared catch it barehanded.
"Thanks, bro! I didn't react in time just now."
A Lie ran over and hurriedly thanked him, only then realizing that this guy was the handsome man from GD Racers' promotional video.
"Hey—you're..."
"Star Uncle, Star Uncle! Hurry up! I want to play too!"
Before A Lie could finish, a little boy cut him off.
As it happened, Liang Xing was about to take his cousin's child to the store to pick up a car.
His little nephew was named Qi Tian, and he truly lived up to his name—bold enough to defy heaven.
He had only seen Liang Xing Toys Factory's promotional video online yesterday, yet he had come knocking early this morning.
Qi Tian was a loyal fan of Liang Xing Toys Factory!
Though he was only in sixth grade, he had more than a hundred toy cars at home, in all shapes and sizes.
The smallest was shorter than a finger, while the largest could carry a person without any problem.
The little guy liked this uncle best because their free time overlapped the most, and Liang Xing would also play with toy cars with him.
They had not seen each other for over a month this time, and the little guy had even gotten mad at his parents. It was not until he came across Liang Xing's promotional video on Douyin yesterday that he pestered them to bring him to his uncle's house.
Liang Xing also happened to want to see just how appealing GD Racers were to children, so when his cousin asked whether he was busy, he accepted the task without a second thought.
After all, instead of letting the little guy sit at home hugging his phone, he might as well play with toy cars alongside Liang Xing.
The two had just finished breakfast when they saw A Lie's Charge Horn charging like a runaway wild horse.
He had also picked a terrible direction—straight at the plaza exit. The Charge Horn was weaving around and barreling ahead, fully capable of rushing through the exit and onto the road.
If Liang Xing had not acted in time, the Charge Horn's maiden run would probably have ended in a glorious sacrifice.
Four-Wheel Kid A Lie?
Give me a break!
He was way too bad!
"You need to be more careful next time~ GD Racers can sprint pretty fast."
The basic GD Racers did not actually accelerate that quickly at the start.
After all, you had to run alongside them. If they took off too quickly, they would be hard to control.
Liang Xing had never considered someone like A Lie, who made his racer sprint the moment it started.
"And~ running it like that can damage the motor."
Liang Xing returned the Charge Horn to A Lie and tactfully offered him some advice.
'A Lie! Ask him for the official website! I want to buy one!'
Cruise Ship x1
Amid the barrage of comments roasting A Lie for messing around, the previous Cruise Ship patron sent a bold golden comment.
Only gifts like Cruise Ships and Fleet memberships earned a certain number of these special comments.
A Lie had set up special alerts for them, and his phone's vibration made him quickly glance at the screen.
"Got it, got it! I really was careless just now. Thanks!"
Of course, A Lie would not ignore the Cruise Ship patron's request. After thanking Liang Xing again, he was about to speak when Qi Tian interrupted him once more.
"Star Uncle! Let's go! You promised you'd teach me how to modify cars!"
The little guy came over and grabbed Liang Xing by the sleeve. He had seen Liang Xing's War God, so he had no interest at all in A Lie's basic model.
Even if both had plain white car shells, Liang Xing's War God could jump!
"Okay, okay~ I'll teach you, I'll teach you. Right now!" Liang Xing smiled at A Lie, wrapping up their conversation, before Qi Tian dragged him away.
'Aren't you going after them?'
'Why does this streamer seem kind of dumb?'
'Go ask for me at the store!'
Another string of mocking comments appeared, mixed with a bold golden one. A Lie hurriedly followed after them.
"Handsome guy, handsome guy! Um, can we order from your store's official website?" A Lie had only failed to ask because Qi Tian interrupted him. He was not actually stupid.
"I wouldn't recommend ordering online. Binding your voiceprint can be inconvenient." Liang Xing glanced at A Lie without slowing down, answering while holding Qi Tian's hand.
The manual also recommended that racers visit a nearby physical store to bind their voiceprints. If they truly wanted to save trouble, they could record something with any microphone.
But in actual use, there was still a small chance that something could go wrong.
If the car failed to obey commands then, Liang Xing Toys Factory would not be responsible.
"If you're just playing casually, I can ship it to you. You can always authenticate it again later when you have time."
Liang Xing could tell A Lie was livestreaming and thought, why turn down money that had fallen into his lap?
They had explained it clearly, after all, and the manual stated it plainly too.
'What's the fun in playing alone? Race him!'
A Lie's phone microphone was not very good, and Liang Xing had not been speaking loudly to begin with, so the viewers in the livestream could not hear him clearly.
A Lie was about to share the good news with the Cruise Ship patron when he spotted that comment.
He knew, of course, that he was no match for Liang Xing. But a livestream was not about winning; he only needed a gimmick to maintain the current hype.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, handsome guy. Uh—how about you race me?" A Lie changed tack and smoothly made his challenge.
"I'll pass... I need to teach my nephew anyway. How about you two play instead?"
If they both had modified GD Racers, Liang Xing would not have minded reliving a childhood memory.
But A Lie's was still a basic model, one that could not even travel in a straight line. That meant there was no suspense whatsoever about who would win, so what was the point of racing?
It would be better for him to compete with Qi Tian.
That way, it would not seem like Liang Xing was bullying him, and it could also promote the proper way to play GD Racers. Why not?
'Damn! He's looking down on you!'
'Good grief, he wants A Lie to bully a kid?'
'Race him! Are you scared of an elementary schooler?'
The livestream viewers loved a spectacle and had no fear of things getting bigger. Only a few longtime fans felt that the race was a little unfair.
So what if A Lie won?
He was an adult. Losing to an elementary schooler would be the truly ridiculous part, okay?
Little did they know that A Lie could not have wanted this more. This was all visible traffic!
"Sure! Can I learn a little too?"
Compared to a race he was guaranteed to lose, he did not mind bullying an elementary schooler.
Besides, they were racing GD Racers. Maybe the kid was better with his hands and had more Power of Imagination?
In any case, the handsome guy seemed easy to talk to. Maybe A Lie could even pick up some modification techniques, which would count as a benefit for his viewers too.
"Sure, let's play together."
A Lie's suggestion was exactly what Liang Xing wanted. He was starting to appreciate this young man a little.
As everyone knew, most people hated having others tell them how to play games.
Those people who kept yammering and pointing fingers from on high were the most irritating.
That was why the promotional video had only offered a few simple introductions. Racers had to figure out modification techniques themselves.
But now that such a good opportunity had presented itself, Liang Xing naturally would not let it pass.
After all, modifying GD Racers was not a simple matter.
Whether it was the body's use of airflow or the chip's control over components, neither was simple.
As long as you had the skill, you could even recreate special vehicle models from Earth's animation.
That was also why Liang Xing did not dare catch a modified GD Racer with his bare hands.
What if it happened to be a model equipped with an Air Blade? Did he still want his hand?
Place your bets, place your bets! Guess who'll win—nephew Qi Tian or A Lie?
