Lan Qinglong took a deep breath and said, "It’s all because of that bumpkin Zhang Jiaxing! Last time we made a bet that the loser would leave the racing world."
"You lost?" Wang Hao looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot. "Are you that bad?"
"It was purely an accident!" Lan Qinglong erupted like thunder, bellowed loudly, "That bumpkin and I are both professional racers, and we were racing on the Jin Ming Mountain road! At that time, my skills were just a tiny bit better than his, but in the end, I lost by a car’s length because our bet was that the loser couldn’t participate in any car races ever again! Damn, I only found out after the fact that he tricked me, the fuel he gave me wasn’t pure, it was watered down!"
Hearing this, Wang Hao understood.
The speed of a sports car depends on the fuel, and if water is added to the fuel, naturally the power is insufficient, so losing the race makes sense.
"So you’re hoping that I win today’s race?" Wang Hao looked at Lan Qinglong and chuckled, "Why do you think I will win?"
Lan Qinglong pulled out a cigarette, handed one to Wang Hao, lit one for himself, and said indifferently, "I think you’re just like a panda."
Huh? What’s with that comparison?
"How so?" Wang Hao curiously asked. "What do I have in common with a panda?"
Lan Qinglong took a deep drag on his cigarette. "A panda’s bite force is second only to a polar bear and similar to a brown bear; it can run faster on mountain terrain at an altitude of two thousand meters than sprinters can on flat ground; it can climb trees over twenty meters high; it can use three or four wolves as cushion seats; such a creature actually makes a living by acting cute!"
Hey, I actually quite like that analogy, hahaha!
"Actually, I’m not that great," Wang Hao scratched his head a bit sheepishly and said, "I’m just average in skill, though a tiny bit better than you, but, you know, just so-so..."
"Cut the crap!" Lan Qinglong kicked him and said, "Hurry up and get in the car, the race is about to start. You can’t be too late, can you? Get in the car and get used to it, don’t embarrass me when the time comes!"
Now that sounds like a plan!
Speaking of which, I’ve never actually driven a Bugatti Veyron!
Although this one can only be called a Bugatti Hong Guang, it’s pretty much the same as the Bugatti Veyron!
Wang Hao got into the Bugatti Hong Guang and drove it around the industrial park for a while...
It truly is one of the world’s most famous supercars, the driving experience is just different! Not only is the acceleration incredibly fast, but the grip is also excellent, and then add some drifting...
"You do have some skills." Watching Wang Hao drift with such proficiency, Lan Qinglong nodded his head very satisfied and laughed, "I reckon there will be something worth watching tonight."
Once Wang Hao had enough practice, Lan Qinglong approached and said, "Let’s go, there are only twenty minutes left before the race starts. You can’t be late, right?"
"Of course not," Wang Hao, pleased with himself, patted the steering wheel and laughed, "Let’s go, let’s set off!"
The group left the industrial park and headed straight for the Jin Ming Mountain highway.
Wang Hao drove the Bugatti Hong Guang on the road, clearly enjoying himself.
But no sooner had he left, he saw several Wuling Hongguangs driving ahead in the same direction towards Jin Ming Mountain.
"Man, where are you headed?" Curious, Wang Hao rolled down the window and asked, "Isn’t the Dog Market already closed at this time?"
"Who’s going to the Dog Market?" The owner of a Wuling Hongguang laughed and replied, "I’m off to watch the car race! Are you heading to the Dog Market? I’d say don’t bother today. Today is the battle of the century! Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime event, once you’re past this village there won’t be such a shop!"
"Battle of the century?" Wang Hao asked with a grin, "What kind of battle are we talking about?"
"You don’t know about it?" The Wuling Hongguang driver replied with a face full of longing, "Today’s the most epic car race in JH city’s history, the Jin Ming Mountain Car God Challenge. Our city’s top racer Zhang Jiaxing has thrown down the gauntlet: the showdown at Jin Ming Mountain, where the loser has to leave his car logo. He’s challenging that Wuling Hong Guang who’s been all the rage these last couple of days!"
Has this news really spread that far? It seemed like the whole world knew about it.
"Is that Zhang Jiaxing really that formidable?" Wang Hao inquired, "Is he really a professional level race car driver?"
"Indeed he is," the Wuling Hong Guang driver said proudly, "He has won third place in a national car racing competition, no joke."
Wang Hao instantly scratched his head, "That impressive!"
"That’s how impressive!" The Wuling Hong Guang driver exclaimed and said, "But this new Car God of Jin Ming Mountain isn’t weak either, exceeding the speed limit by 331%, reaching speeds of 518 kilometers per hour, just amazing! I just wonder if I’ll be lucky enough to see him today!"
Dude, you really believe that...
That evening at eight o’clock, on the mountain road from Jin Ming Mountain to Jinhua Dog Market.
At the starting point, there were already close to a thousand people gathered.
Around them were parked all kinds of supercars, Aston Martins, McLarens, Ferraris, Lamborghini Aventadors, GTRs, and so on, dozens in total.
But that wasn’t the key point—the real kicker was that around these cars, there were nearly a hundred Wuling Hongguangs!
Losing face is not an option, now all that was left was for the Car God of Jin Ming Mountain to arrive and stand up for our Wuling Hongguangs!
