Chapter 2590 - 1175: Death Race! (Part 2)

Chapter 2590: Chapter 1175: Death Race! (Part 2)

I really wish you would use a bit more force and crush them with a slap.

"Second, even if it’s the same track, what if new challenges appear?"

The crowd fell silent.

Especially Long Miaomiao and Yi Jisheng, who were directly plunged into despair.

This kind of pollution,

They really can’t handle it!

"Little Qiu Qiu, Miaomiao, and Yi Jisheng, why don’t you guys forfeit?"

Xia Hongyao suggested.

"Isn’t my life worth anything?"

San Miyairi complained, why must I take risks?

"Because I know you’re not giving it your all, push a bit more and you’ll definitely make it to the top ten!"

Xia Hongyao highly regarded the skill of the Sakura girl.

"I should thank you!"

San Miyairi rolled her eyes, but as long as Lin Baici was there, she wouldn’t back down.

"Time is short, let’s quickly discuss and choose the safest track!"

Xia Hongyao handed the drawing board in her hand to Lin Baici, which depicted the entire route situation: "We summarized this before you returned, take a look if there’s anything to add."

Lin Baici glanced at the drawing board, then looked at the rankings on the projection screen, and made a gesture to wait.

He kept feeling something was off.

Eater God said winning wasn’t related to racing, but to the choice of driving direction!

"Not related to racing?"

Lin Baici muttered.

Could the key to victory be understanding the true meaning of this hint?

Lin Baici recalled seeing those cars in the garage; honestly, aside from models like the Wuling Hongguang "mythical car," there were some family cars, and even if all were compared with sports cars, their performance varied greatly.

Just like Xia Hongyao’s sports car, it was already top-notch. Coupled with Xia Hongyao’s skilled driving and fearless style, surely she could achieve explosive results.

Yet she hadn’t even made it to the top ten!

This was quite exaggerated.

Although Xia Hongyao was a smart D-cup, her physical qualities and ability to adapt in the moment were definitely top tier. As long as it didn’t involve brain exercises, and was simply choosing the best route for a sprint, she could definitely give a perfect performance.

She was a whole five minutes faster which is proof.

Lin Baici, though not giving it his all, had his fastest speed mostly on par with Xia Hongyao.

"What routes did you choose?"

Lin Baici asked.

Time was tight, but with Gu Qingqiu around, she had already planned ahead.

The drawing board showed five lines of different colors.

Among them, two didn’t complete, naturally those of Long Miaomiao and Yi Jisheng, while the other three belonged to Xia Hongyao, Gu Qingqiu, and San Miyairi.

Among these three, two lines nearly overlapped.

Those belonged to Xia Hongyao and San Miyairi, both geniuses who could determine the best route in the shortest time.

Gu Qingqiu’s body wasn’t great; she could pick the best route, but her body and driving skills wouldn’t let her drive her chosen path.

"Isn’t it strange? Since Eater God said winning isn’t related to direction choice, why was Eri so much slower?"

Lin Baici scratched his chin, pondering this oddity!

"This pollution is insanely hard!"

Long Miaomiao complained, "Is this something carbon-based creatures could think of? That guy’s definitely a psychopath, crushed by a car."

"Correction, the guy is a god, might not be carbon-based!"

San Miyairi joked.

"Ugh..."

Long Miaomiao’s expression froze, then said indignantly, "Let me catch him and he’ll run a hundred laps on this track, backwards!"

The mention of running "backwards" sparked an epiphany for Lin Baici as if a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds!

Why not run backward?

Eater God mentioned direction choice; is this what was meant?

If I run backward, I’ll be first regardless of speed!

"Scholar, did you think of something?"

Gu Qingqiu saw Lin Baici’s expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Hey, could it be possible to run a lap backward?"

Lin Baici’s statement stunned everyone.

"Backward?"

Yi Jisheng muttered, wanting to say, "Are you not afraid of dying quickly enough?"

"Eh?"

Gu Qingqiu’s eyes lit up, "That’s a good idea!"

She immediately began reviewing the past driving process, trying to recall the details and find evidence for this idea.

"We have only one chance; if the judgment is wrong, we’re dead!"

San Miyairi glanced at Yi Jisheng.

She had considered controlling the rankings manually, putting the cannon fodder at the front to try some tactics.

After all, when cannon fodder perished, there’s no grief.

But even Yi Jisheng was Lin Baici’s friend, so San Miyairi stayed silent.

"Backward?"

Xia Hongyao thought Lin Baici’s thinking was really unorthodox, "Will it work?"

[Of course it will!]

Eater God urged, [Go now, or you won’t even get a hot meal!]

"It will!"

With Eater God’s evaluation, Lin Baici was reassured, boldly promising, "Trust me!"

"Any reasoning?"

Gu Qingqiu wanted to know.

"Just guess!"

Lin Baici shrugged.

"Alright!"

Gu Qingqiu didn’t press further, but she knew this challenge should be secured, next is facing the gods, what then?

"I’m off!"

Xia Hongyao had the shortest time in qualifying, so she started first: "See you at the finish line!"

...

The top floor of Haijing TV Tower is an observation deck, built with a giant glass dome, where visitors can take in most of Haijing.

At this moment, a Divine Territory erupted here, transforming the observation deck into a tropical rainforest.

Various lush greenery thrives wild.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two figures constantly collide, separate, and clash again, engaged in a fierce battle!

Suddenly...

One larger, more muscular figure couldn’t withstand the other’s attack after another collision and flew out with a boom, like a supersonic missile, crashing into the rainforest, digging a deep furrow over fifty meters long.

"Aren’t you helping me?"

The God roared, but opening its mouth meant blood flooding out like a broken dam.

Divine Grace Activation, Nature’s gift.

Tiny green globes, the size of fingernails, extended from the surrounding tropical plants, gathering like fireflies into strings of light, merging into the God, healing it.

Phew!

The God felt better, but the next second it watched the slowly descending young woman, its expression turned grave again.

The opponent could see it was using Healing Divine Grace and yet didn’t intervene; what does this imply?

The opponent was absolutely confident in killing it!

Realizing this, it shouts at its distant kin, "Won’t you act?"

"Want to watch me die?"

Xia Hongmian landed on the ground; her suit was somewhat torn from the intense fight, exposing some skin.

"Your frantic state really doesn’t suit the title of God!"

Xia Hongmian meant no mockery; she was simply stating the facts.

"Lowly native hybrid, whether I am a God is not your declaration!"

The God scoffed.

It’s the one who issued a challenge from Haijing TV Tower.

It disliked a life of fleeing; it wants to conquer this Blue Star and become their king, but who knew the first native to arrive was this strong.

For a moment, the God began doubting its own existence!

Because it was almost killed.

"Don’t defile this term anymore!"

Xia Hongmian frowned, "Or should I record your current appearance, make a video, embed it in your tombstone, and play it forever?"

"..."

Wouldn’t that mean even death doesn’t spare one from mockery?

The thought of that scene sent shivers down the God’s spine.

"Gu Qingxiang, if you don’t plan to help it, then leave!"

Xia Hongmian was somewhat wary of Gu Qingxiang, reluctant to kill her kin in her presence. If it triggered the God’s sense of retaliation, Xia Hongmian naturally wasn’t afraid, but for Haijing, it would be a colossal disaster.

Gu Qingxiang seemed lost in thought and remained silent.
