God of Racing

Chapter 72: Celestial Eye


As November was approaching, snow began to fall in the United States, though the weather wasn't very cold.

At the Highway Hero Team, the eleven-year-old Ye Qiu, who had just joined the team, was diligently practicing driving.

Originally a top student with a strong talent for racing, Ye Qiu didn't really need to train so hard; he was already quite accomplished at his age.

However, young Ye Qiu held a bit of persistence in his heart, along with a chase for his dreams.

At 2 a.m., the night deepened. Most of the Automobile Guild staff had already left, yet on the training field, Ye Qiu was still desperately practicing with the car.

At only eleven, he appeared slight and slender compared to other kids his age, but at this moment, his still-innocent face displayed a determination stronger than most adults.

It was persistence, perseverance...

Whoosh.

After completing a lap, the car stopped, and once Ye Qiu got out, he glanced toward the edge of the track. There he saw a little girl around his age, with a sweet appearance, holding a cup of hot milk tea. A happy smile appeared on Ye Qiu's sweaty face.

He stepped forward and ran toward the little girl.

Upon seeing Ye Qiu running towards her, a smile of happiness spread across the little girl's slightly red-cheeked face, chilled by the cold.

"Xirou!"

When Ye Qiu reached the little girl, his heart pounded as he looked at the delicate, doll-like girl who stood about half his height.

He didn't know whether it was due to the previous running or some other reason.

"Ye Qiu, this is for you!"

Lin Xirou handed the hot milk tea in her hand to Ye Qiu.

"For me?" Ye Qiu took the milk tea, feeling touched as it was still warm.

"Yes, it's your favorite flavor, hehe! Drink it quickly!"

As Lin Xirou's crescent moon-shaped eyes formed with her smile, looked beautiful, and her sweet voice resonated with Ye Qiu as he sipped the milk tea she gave him, sweetening his heart.

"Ye Qiu, after you finish the milk tea, go to sleep. Stop pushing yourself so hard with practice."

Lin Xirou said.

Ye Qiu shook his head, "I can't, Xirou. Both you and I have Eastern faces. In this place, the United States, we're subject to exclusion. Those people look down on us, so I must work hard to make them respect me."

As he spoke, Ye Qiu smiled at Lin Xirou, "Thank you, Xirou, for staying with me so late every day!"

Lin Xirou gave a slight smile, "It's okay. After all, I can't sleep anyway, and in the entire team, you're my only good... friend!"

"Xirou, you can't say that! Am I, Aik, not your friend either?"

As Lin Xirou's voice just faded, a somewhat awkward Chinese voice came through.

The owner of the voice seemed to be in a voice-changing period, with a bit of a hoarse pitch, which coupled with his evidently newly acquired Chinese, sounded a bit unbearable.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Xirou and Ye Qiu turned and saw a person who appeared to be of mixed Eastern and Western descent. With handsome looks, he was about the same age as Ye Qiu and the others, but his height and build were multiple times stronger than Ye Qiu's.

Looking at his outfit, though very modest in color, anyone knowledgeable would recognize that this outfit was by no means cheap.

"Aik? What brings you here?"

Upon seeing this brother, who joined the team at the same time as him and with whom he had the best relationship, besides Lin Xirou, Ye Qiu joyfully stood up and spoke.

Lin Xirou also rose, giving Aik an apologetic smile, "Sorry, Aik, you're also certainly my good friend."

After saying this, Lin Xirou glanced at Ye Qiu, secretly thinking, "But Ye Qiu holds a different significance."

"Haha, just kidding, Xirou, why would I mind?"

Aik waved at Lin Xirou, then swung a playful punch at Ye Qiu's chest, "Kid, you're working so hard! Training until this late every day, aren't you tired? And why are you dragging Xirou along? If you tire Xirou out, won't you feel guilty?"

Ye Qiu awkwardly scratched his head after hearing this, giving an apologetic glance at Lin Xirou.

Lin Xirou said, "Aik, it's not like Ye Qiu asked me to be with him; I chose to do it willingly."

Upon hearing this, Aik raised an eyebrow. He was not sure why but he felt uncomfortable inside; however, in his youth, he didn't know why this feeling existed, "That's still no good. From now on, when Ye Qiu's training, you shouldn't accompany him, or else I'll be heartbroken."

"Ah, you're heartbroken?" Lin Xirou glanced at Ye Qiu.

Aik smiled, "Of course! Aren't we best friends? If you become exhausted, that would certainly make my heartache."

After finishing his words, Aik addressed Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, it's late. Go back and rest."

Ye Qiu wanted to say something, but after glancing at Lin Xirou, he nodded, "Okay."

With that said, the three of them left the training ground together. Aik walked alongside Lin Xirou and from somewhere pulled out a signed wristband of a super racer, waving it in front of Lin Xirou's eyes, "Xirou, isn't this your favorite? I especially got it for you."

"Ah, Aik, this is so expensive! How did you get it?" Lin Xirou exclaimed happily, holding the wristband in her hands, cherishing it.

"Hey, as long as Xirou likes it, that's good," Aik said.

Following behind, Ye Qiu watched this scene with a smile, feeling nothing out of the ordinary.

He believed at the time that Lin Xirou, Aik, and he were the best of friends.

...

Clap clap.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu, who was lying on his bed dreaming, felt someone patting his face.

Ye Qiu slowly opened his eyes, his head aching slightly, and upon seeing that the person patting him was his father, he asked puzzledly, "Dad, what is it?"

"You little punk, still sleeping? Did you forget the delivery?

"Huh?" Ye Qiu was startled and about to get up, but Ye Xiong restrained him, "No need to get up, I delivered it for you this morning, so take some more rest."

After hearing Ye Xiong's words, Ye Qiu opened his mouth with a sense of gratitude.

Watching his father leave the room, Ye Qiu lay in bed staring at the ceiling, while scenes from his earlier dream still played in his mind.

But at this moment, his face was filled with a mocking smile, "Heh, Aik, so you liked Xirou even back then. How ridiculous that I didn't understand it at all. Now thinking about it, Aik, you hid it well, and all these years watching Xirou and me together must have been hard for you.

If it weren't for my racing talent being superior to yours, and the team needing me to generate profits, you probably wouldn't have tolerated me like that, right?"

Thinking about how Aik always treated him so well before, Ye Qiu now found it ironic upon understanding the situation.

"Enough, the matter is over, let's not dwell on it."

Ye Qiu shook his head, suppressing the sadness that surged up within him.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and shouted to Fle: "Fle!"

"I'm here."

"System?"

"Has it upgraded to Level 2?"

"Huh?" Ye Qiu suddenly sat up, but his brain was immediately hit with severe pain, which took a long while before he could continue, "What new talent skills are there now?"

"Uh, well... you should take a look yourself..."

Hearing Fle's words, Ye Qiu frowned, sensing something amiss.

Immediately, with a thought, the system interface appeared before his eyes.

Car God System: LV2 (Upgradable, Super Driving LV1, Celestial Eye LV1)

System Mall: LV2

"Celestial Eye?"

Ye Qiu was taken aback, "What is this?"

Fle replied, "I don't know either!"

"Huh? You don't know?"

"Yeah, didn't I say? The Car God System is high-tech from our place, not developed by me, I merely brought it to your planet."

Ye Qiu nodded, "Then based on the name Celestial Eye, what's your guess?"

Fle said, "Why guess, just activate Celestial Eye and take a walk outside, you'll find out!"

"True."

Ye Qiu smiled, then eagerly got out of bed and activated the Celestial Eye.

Ding.

Celestial Eye Talent activation successful.

"Huh? No proficiency, no level either?"

Ye Qiu was speechless, increasingly feeling that Celestial Eye wasn't as good as Super Driving.

Moreover, despite hearing the system's prompt of successful Celestial Eye activation, Ye Qiu didn't notice any changes.

"Do I have to go inside the car?"

Ye Qiu, feeling helpless, went downstairs intending to get into the car to see what would happen.

Just as he descended, he saw Ye Xiong. Ye Xiong immediately asked upon seeing him, "Why are you downstairs, feeling better?"

At that moment, Ye Qiu stared at Ye Xiong in shock, unable to speak.

In front of him, a series of sci-fi movie-like data appeared beside Ye Xiong.

Ye Xiong: 3-star Diamond Car Saint (The racer level assessed on this planet.)

Spiritual Value: 20

Luck Value: 48

Physical Ability LV6 (120000-720000)

Strength LV6 (120000-720000)

Agility LV7 (720000-5040000)

Spirit LV7 (720000-5040000)

Intelligence LV8 (5040000-40320000)

Special Ability, 7-star Modification Master.

Looking at the data series beside Ye Xiong, Ye Qiu stood there, mouth agape, stunned.

At this moment, he understood what Celestial Eye was: something that allows one to clearly see the attributes of others at a glance.

As long as someone is a racer, they would have attributes—not necessarily having a Car God System like Ye Qiu, but they would possess the five major attributes, Spiritual Value, and more.

However, under Celestial Eye, the system would give an accurate assessment.

Upon understanding this somewhat useful but unimpressive talent skill, Ye Qiu wasn't much shocked, but instead stared blankly at the remarkable data beside Ye Xiong, especially the dazzling Diamond Car Saint and the 7-star Modification Master that made him suspect the system might be malfunctioning.

Above the SSS Racer is the Bronze Chariot King, divided into 1-9 stars.

Above Bronze Chariot King is Silver Chariot King, Golden Chariot Emperor, Platinum Chariot Emperor, and then comes Diamond Car Saint.

Each major level is divided into 1-9 stars.

However, as far as Ye Qiu knew from his information, excluding those who have already retired, the strongest in Huaxia nowadays should be a Diamond Car Saint.

And they would still only be a 1-star Diamond Car Saint, meaning his father Ye Xiong is the strongest among Huaxia racers.

Moreover, Ye Xiong also holds the identity of a 7-star Modification Master, what does that mean?

It's not only in Huaxia, but globally as well, a supreme existence.

Ye Qiu believes that if his father wanted to, he could earn a few billion in a matter of minutes, if not more.
