God Of Racing

Concern, disappointment, and disbelief flickered in Li Ning's eyes. "Are you sure he's Wind God?" How could it be possible? That impulsive, brainless guy who drinks all the time is Wind God? This seemed too much like a joke.

Despite her outwardly puzzled expression, Nianran's heart was filled with bitterness. I almost hope he's not Wind God. At least then I wouldn't have to consider Xiao Jie's feelings. She nodded firmly, "Of course. I rode in his car here. If it weren't for Teacher Chen's husband getting into an accident during the race, I don't think Wind God would have revealed his identity to the class."

Li Ning was shocked again. "You mean the one who had the accident was our counselor's husband?"

"Yes, I think this race is no longer just about who wins or loses!" Nianran said worriedly, watching the ongoing Zero-Four races by the roadside.

Zhao Jie was in a daze, silently swallowing her medicine. Perhaps because the medicine tasted so bad, two silent tears had unknowingly slid down her face.

"Actually, Xiao Jie, if he really is your Brother Feng, why bother about all that? Just follow your heart. Maybe things aren't exactly as they seem to us."

Zhao Jie stared blankly at Li Ning for a long while, then suddenly burst into a gentle laugh. "Of course I won't dwell on it. If he really is Brother Feng, I dare say he must have had no choice but to drink and act impulsively. Because I believe in him!"

The two were dumbfounded watching her, unable to accept such a sudden change. But Nianran's heart ached even more. Xiao Jie, it seems your relationship with Zhuifeng really isn't ordinary. To be able to accept all the flaws you can't stand yourself, is this something an average person can do?

"Look, Wind God is here!" The three, lost in thought, looked over with the crowd. They saw two lines of cars slowly driving into view. There were 12 cars in the front and 12 cars in the back, making the silver-gray Audi A4 sandwiched in the middle stand out prominently. No, there were 13 cars behind, with the last one being particularly special. Besides various colorful paintings, it had "Zhongshen Racing Team" written boldly on its body, completely different from the cars in front. As the procession drew nearer, the 12 cars in front suddenly started weaving between each other!

"Xiao Jie, the car in the middle is Zhuifeng's, that is, Wind God's."

Seeing this scene, anyone who wasn't a complete idiot would know. Li Ning looked around and quickly tugged at Nianran. "Shh... please, can you not shout so loudly? Do you want to be harassed to death by them?"

Xu Nianran was startled, only then realizing that although she and her classmates knew Wind God's identity, here... She shuddered and smiled awkwardly. "It's not hard to guess, right? Such a grand entrance, hehe, any earthling should know, right? Hehe..."

"I'm telling you, isn't this a bit too showy?" Zhuifeng was at a loss for words, sighing helplessly into his earpiece as he watched the 'fancy' display in front of him.

"How else can we show off the boss's prestige?" Liu Tang grinned mischievously. "Boss, seeing how hard we're working to perform, hehe, shouldn't you also do something? There's a decent-sized open space up ahead, you know."

"Me?" But I didn't ask you to do this.

"Oh! Boss, you're not getting shy, are you?"

Maji had insisted on taking an earpiece, and Zhuifeng knew he was in for a verbal bombardment. "Maji, me, shy? Damn, you better watch it, kid. Don't blame me for being rough later if you dare talk to me like that."

"That's for later. How about it? Want to show off a bit?"

Hearing Maji's provocative tone, Zhuifeng's head heated up. "Alright, let's do it. Who's afraid of who? Everyone, clear the way!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, after much anticipation, Wind God has finally appeared before us all. I believe everyone has seen the scene on TV. The silver-gray sports car in the middle should be Wind God's ride... As expected of Wind God, look at his grand entrance. Wow... I think not everyone can afford to use sports cars as escorts. In two words - domineering! ... The atmosphere at the scene has already reached a platinum level with just this entrance. Everyone's emotions have been successfully stirred up again by Wind God. I think tonight's race will definitely be spectacular! Let's cheer and anticipate... Oh, there's movement. The cars in front have all stopped by the roadside. Wind God has caught up. Is he going to give us a performance?..."

The already over-excited audience, hearing Mu Xin's words, went wild. Their earlier dissatisfaction with him had long since vanished. Perhaps using all their strength, the cheers of "Wind God" were truly earth-shattering!

Those who came prepared held up signs with "Wind God" written on them high, while those unprepared were even more frenzied, seemingly mindlessly waving their shirts in the air. I guess the clothing stores at the foot of the mountain are going to make a killing tonight. ^_^

Liu Tang and the others, after parking their cars, were amazed by the audience. My goodness, this scene could rival the Olympics. "Everyone, turn on the headlights. Let's see what the boss wants to show?"

With a "whoosh," the lights from dozens of sports cars suddenly turned the mountaintop into daylight, and the crowd cheered again...

With the cheers, Zhuifeng's heart also inexplicably excited. He accelerated hard, directly rushing into the not-so-large open space. With a screech of brakes, the Audi stopped. Looking at the spectators covering the mountain, Zhuifeng's blood completely boiled.

"Cheer for me..."

He released the handbrake, then pressed the foot brake hard, shifted into first gear, and while maintaining the foot brake, he revved the engine and released the clutch to start (Note: Some friends don't understand the quick gear changes, clutch control, and rapid braking in racing, thinking it's not possible to do all these things simultaneously in such a short moment. That's just because you're not used to it. You can try this: 1. Left foot on clutch, right foot tip on brake, right foot heel on gas. 2. Conversely, left foot on clutch, right foot heel on brake, right foot tip on gas. 3. Left foot heel on clutch, left foot tip on brake, right foot on gas. 4. Left foot tip on clutch, left foot heel on brake, right foot on gas. If you try a few times, you'll find it's quite simple. ^_^ Oh, a special note, which of these four foot techniques to use depends on personal habit and pedal arrangement).

Hearing the engine's roar, Zhuifeng pressed the foot brake even harder while continuing to accelerate. Although the foot brake locked all four wheels, the front wheels had no power. Even though the driving force of the rear wheels was greater than their grip on the ground, the front wheels remained firmly planted...

I believe anyone who knows a bit about cars understands what Zhuifeng is doing. That's right! Burning rubber in place!

"This... has he gone mad?" Many professional racers were suddenly surprised. Everyone knows that burning rubber like this wears out tires extremely quickly. Even with the world's best tires, it wouldn't take five minutes to expose the steel wires inside the tires, or even cause them to burst! "Isn't the race about to start? This is simply a joke."

Gu Deping, who brought the Zero-Four race car, was even more puzzled: "If you say he doesn't understand cars, well, he knows how to modify them. If you say he understands cars, this is obviously contradictory! If you want to show off, you should use my car. This is simply a waste!"

For other racers, burning rubber like this is simply showing off! But Zero-Four is different. For any driver with even a bit of Zero-Four racing experience, this pre-race tire burn is an essential warm-up because it increases the tire's grip. 

But Zero-Four cars don't have the hassle of other race cars when it comes to burning rubber, because they can directly control the rear speed limiter and front and rear brake force. When you open or press this switch, giving gas to the car can directly grind and burn the tires. This is why Gu Deping said Zhuifeng was wasting resources.

It's not that Zhuifeng doesn't understand all this, but he's still a young man after all. Especially under today's roller coaster of events, Zhuifeng desperately needed a way to release the various emotions pent up in his heart... Although the price seemed a bit too high...

Because Zhuifeng's ride used a V8 engine, it took only a short three to four seconds for the white smoke from the burning tires to completely envelop the Audi. Under the intense light, this rare spectacle immediately mesmerized everyone... Of course, this was only for those new to racing.

Mu Xin was a bit disappointed: "Is this the performance?" Although this isn't common, as long as you're not afraid of wasting money and dare to push the limits, anyone can do such a tire-burning show.

Could it be that the great Wind God really just wanted to perform a tire burn? Of course not! This was just the prelude...

Feeling it was about right, while maintaining first gear and giving it full gas, waiting for the peak torque speed to reach +500rpm, Zhuifeng's expression tightened. As he quickly released the clutch, he swiftly made the car turn according to his planned route...

"What's this?" Almost everyone who understood cars was stunned. Mu Xin was even more bewildered, staring blankly at the screen, completely unable to understand what Wind God meant.

"I told you, the boss definitely wouldn't just simply perform a tire burn." Liu Tang smugly watched the Audi continuously moving in that cloud of white smoke, grinning.

"Then what is this?" Yaoyao asked confusedly through her earpiece. "It seems like he's turning in place, but that's not right."

No one answered her because no one knew what Zhuifeng was doing.

Zhuifeng smiled mischievously. With the final drift of the rear, the Audi gracefully emerged from the smoke like a ghost, coming to the front of the team...

"B-boss, weren't you going to perform? How come..." Not only Liu Tang had this question, even Yellow Hair and the others were confused.

"The performance is done."

"Is that considered a performance?"

Although Liu Tang and the others didn't understand, it didn't mean the spectators on the mountaintop didn't! Mu Xin was the first to exclaim in surprise because she had been paying attention to the smoke-covered open space all along. But then the entire venue fell silent. If it weren't for everyone's mouths hanging open, Zhuifeng would have really wondered if he hadn't performed well enough.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL~~~~~~~~ Wind God, Wind God..."

Mu Xin was the first to come to her senses, after all, she was the live broadcaster for this race. But she was still so excited that her speech was unclear: "Dear audience friends, Wind God indeed didn't disappoint us. Do you see what's on the screen? That's right! It's the character for 'Wind,' a 'Wind' character written by Wind God using his race car tires... This should be Wind God's exclusive Wind signboard..."

The sleeping lion had awakened. "Roar... Wind God... Wind God"

Tonight was destined to belong to Wind God. If the atmosphere was fiery before, now it was simply roaring...

For some reason, two streams of tears inexplicably flowed from Zhuifeng's eyes. He casually walked out of the car, looking at everyone. A surge of passion he had never felt before rushed to his heart. He raised both hands flat upwards, and everyone, as if by tacit agreement, simultaneously stopped their chanting. Looking at Zhuifeng, who was gazing up at the sky under the illumination of dozens of race car headlights, appearing extraordinarily profound and mysterious, whether they loved racing or not, at this moment, the image of Wind God had completely imprinted itself in everyone's hearts...

"Roar..." Have you ever tried shouting loudly in a completely silent environment? In one word, extremely cool. Oh, that's two words. Sweat...

"Roar..."

Zhuifeng was startled. This sound could be described like this: earth-shattering! But it seems like he caused this, right?
