Shift! The Side-Character Heroine

The “King of the Mountain Road” Xia Hai had been defeated on Mount Qilin, where it had all began! He had been defeated by a mysterious, unknown female racer!

It was not a scheduled, official race, but everyone knew that Xia Hai had tried his very best!

When they finally took down his race time, it had been faster than the time when he defeated the ex-God racer of Mountain Qilin. His fearsome opponent had forced all the juice out of his body. Even after all that, he had still been utterly defeated. That final drift was the thing of fantasies!

When the viewers saw the conclusion of the race, they only stood in silence, unable to believe what the big screen had just displayed!

After that silence, the crowd erupted like a volcano!

“Xia Hai actually lost! He was actually faster than the night he took down a God. Who exactly is that female racer?”

“Damn, what a great day. I’ve just witnessed a tale I could pass down to my grandchildren!”

“She’s too cool! Every drift had been taken to the limit. She basically cheated death at each turn. Such guts, such skill, she simply was born for racing!”

“If anyone tells me in future that drifting is something flashy but useless, I’ll ‘slap his face’ by showing tonight’s recording! I hereby declare that from today onwards, I’m a loyal fan of that beauty racer!”

“I don’t think any of the other upcoming races of tonight would be worth watching. She’s stolen the limelight. She’s so freakishly fast. How could anyone else compare to that?”

“Come come come, where are all the naysayers? Why is it so silent now? You hypocrites, you really don’t know what it means to be a real racer. Never judge a book by its cover!”

“That chick has serious skills. Don’t forget that the modified car she drove belongs to the ex-God racer of Mountain Qilin. It’s far slower than Xia Hai’s modified car. I heard that they invested over ten million in its build!”

“Bravo, bravo! This female racer deserved the victory!”

…

Most embarrassed were those “Xia Hai braggarts.” They made up a good 70~80% of the crowd. Afterall, Xia Hai had toppled a God. He had been in the scene for a long time. People always jumped on the bandwagon and support the reigning champion, even if Xia Hai was a grip racing purist.

Now, nobody was laughing. This female racer had blown all conventions out the water. Her drifting wasn’t even flashy. It was terrifying, violent and reckless. Doesn’t this remind us of a certain anime character?!

The famous live streamer “Lady Jia Zi” had also fell silent. As Xia Hai maintained his lead, she had never stopped her mouth, saying things such as, “This is a waste of time,” “The gap is too big,” “She’s out,” “The King will definitely win,” etc. She had not stopped for a moment until she had successfully jinxed Xia Hai…

When Xia Hai was finally overtaken, she had stopped mid-syllable, as if her throat had been plugged by a light bulb. What a biased commentator. A moment ago, she was still bragging about how the reigning champion would keep his crown. At the next moment, the underdog had forced her own words down her throats!

Viewers truly loved watching live streamers getting slapped in the face. Her bullet curtain became flooded with “LOLs” and “ROFLMAOs.” Others spoke up ——

When I saw that nasty drift, I already gave up on Xia Hai. He was not flashy enough!

“Hey guys. First time visiting this channel. Is this a film or was that races real?”

“Of course it’s real. You can go to the scene and watch in person. It’s amazing, just like watching an Esports competition.”

“How does that feel, Jiaxi? Getting slapped in the face? Hahah you wouldn’t stop hyping the King up like a brainless fan!”

“I’m now a fan of that chick. I hereby beg that Lady Jia Zi approach her for an interview!”

“I was truly shocked! That was a scene straight out of an anime. I never expected someone to actually pull it off. She’s simply awesome, right?!”

“I’m not sure if I’m imagining it, but I feel like I’ve just witnessed Zhao Xiaomei in reality. That violence! That reckless abandonment!”

“Those who have watched “Fast Track: No Limits,” please don’t leave. Let’s cheer for Lady Zhao Xiaomei!”

“Lady Jia Zi. For your own good, you should follow this extraordinary female racer in the future. She’s faster and flashier than Xia Hai. I don’t see why I have to stay in Xia Hai’s fanclub!”

…

Qian Xiaojia ‘slapping her own face’ was one thing. It was worth it, seeing how her own live stream shot up to the next level. It exceeded a million views. In her heart, she smiled.

Qian Xiaojia saw the requests on the bullet curtain. Among them were several viewers who had donated heavily to her channel. Well, she couldn’t turn them down, now. That woman’s beauty would make her look like a roadside beggar, but she did not care now. Her viewers came first. When she was done with the interview, she would boldly request for due payment…

Zhao Hao finally regained enough sensation in his legs to pull himself out of the car. His face was as white as a ghost, and he was barely conscious. His only thought was —— This is a f*cking miracle! I still f*cking live!

Back at the S-curve, he had screamed. It was not a shout of victory, but he was utterly convinced that he was going to die.

He staggered to the side of the track and emptied his guts out. It was truly great to be alive!

That was when he felt something off. Something was wet, and it was at his crotch?

His white face turned green. He scrambled to the toilet, falling over along the way. This was way too embarrassing. He would never sit in his sister’s car again, no matter how curious he was…

This was not adrenaline. This was life and death. He finally understood the meaning of those phrases such as “a cornered animal is at its most deadliest state,” “There is little hope of survival.” If someone asked him whether his pampered self had ever experienced despair, he had a certain answer to offer. It had all occurred during a single night, when his sister had taken him on a drive!
