Ring ring ring
A sudden, urgent ringtone interrupted Ye Qiu's thoughts.
Ye Qiu quickly pulled out his phone and answered the call, looking towards Xu Lei, who seemed to be waking up lazily with a stretch.
Seeing Xu Lei only shifted slightly and did not wake up, Ye Qiu sighed in relief and then heard Ye Xiong's yelling through the phone: "You little rascal, where did you go? How come you forgot the delivery?"
"Oh no."
Hearing Ye Xiong's scolding, Ye Qiu slapped his forehead and thought, "Oh damn, I forgot to deliver the goods this morning."
He glanced at Xu Lei and helplessly shook his head. Last night, he had a wild night with Xu Lei, how could he possibly get up early this morning?
Listening to Ye Xiong's yelling on the phone, Ye Qiu didn't know how to explain for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Ye Xiong, tired from yelling, was about to speak when he heard Ye Xiong's voice: "All right, don't worry about it. I helped you with the delivery this morning, and I'll help you in the future. You're about to take the college entrance exams, so study hard."
"Dad!"
Ye Qiu called out, feeling a bit moved.
Although Ye Xiong was harsh with his words, he had a kind heart.
Ye Xiong snorted, "If you don't get first place in the exam, I'll have a word with you later."
Actually, Ye Xiong just wanted to push Ye Qiu a bit. He knew Ye Qiu had been focused on racing these years and wasn't very diligent academically.
Unexpectedly, after a brief pause, Ye Qiu nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll definitely bring back a first place for you."
Ye Qiu was also slightly surprised but still said, "Hehe, you rascal, I hope you're not just talking big. As a man, you should do what you say. If you claim you can get first place, then if you don't..."
"You can do whatever you want if I can't,"
Ye Qiu replied.
Ye Xiong chuckled, gave Ye Qiu a few more reminders, and then hung up, but he still didn't believe it in his heart. Although Ye Qiu was smart, getting just a passing grade would be good enough.
Ye Qiu hung up the phone and didn't dwell on it.
His Level 5 intelligence, enhanced by the system, was different from others.
A racer's intelligence attribute pertains to the track and racing; the higher the attribute value, the better their judgment in track and racing techniques. Ye Qiu's Level 5 intelligence, however, was comprehensive.
So, not to mention getting first in the college entrance exam, but being the best in the nation or even the world wasn't too hard for him now.
"Oh right, there's still the race with Wang Xuan."
After putting away his phone, Ye Qiu suddenly remembered that Wang Xuan had arranged to race this Sunday, which turned out to be today.
"Today is Sunday already."
Thinking about the bet with Wang Xuan, Ye Qiu didn't care much about winning against him, but considering the presence of Wang Xinrui, he thought for a bit. Seeing Xu Lei still asleep, he got up, wrote a note, and quietly left.
As Ye Qiu closed the door to leave, Xu Lei slowly opened her eyes. The creamy jade-like arm extended from under the blanket, grabbing the small note that Ye Qiu had just written on the table.
Looking at the note, Ye Qiu wrote: "Sister Lei, I have a race appointment, going out for a bit. You have a good sleep, I'll come back and cook for you tonight."
Seeing the last sentence, Xu Lei's slightly lazy face broke into a gentle smile as she held the small note to her chest and stared dazedly at the ceiling.
After Ye Qiu left Xu Lei's house, he drove his pickup and called Wang Xuan. After knowing the location, he headed towards the agreed place with Wang Xuan.
In H City, there are two Level 5 teams, Jiying Racing Team and Fiery Sun Team.
Both teams are evenly matched, whether in terms of points or overall strength.
The Fiery Sun Team, established by Situ Yang, once the best racer in H City, has maintained its position as the top team in H City for years.
However, in recent years, under the impact of Jiying Racing Team led by Wang Xuan, the strength of the two teams has been growing closer and closer. Although the Fiery Sun Team still temporarily holds the position of H City's number one team, with Jiying Racing Team eyeing them covetously, their position isn't entirely secure.
As the two teams vie for the top spot, their rivalry has blossomed into more frequent out-of-league competitions.
As the conflicts intensified, the Automobile Guild in H City intervened, holding a confrontation match between the two teams this year. The loser would fall to second, and the winner would naturally become the number one team in H City.
Today is the day for the two teams to contend for the top spot.
The race track used by the Automobile Guild in H City is packed with people today, all present to cheer for their favorite team.
In the Jiying Racing Team's resting area, Wang Xuan, with his fiery red hair, wearing a sleek black and red racing suit, sat on his modified top-of-the-line Level 3 red Ferrari, looking dashing yet with a frown, said to the five other top racers of Jiying Racing Team: "In the team race later, as long as you perform your true strength without any errors, you'll definitely win."
A Level A racer named Wang Tian assured, "Don't worry, captain. Our cars have been upgraded by the team to Level 3. It's known that, among the Fiery Sun Team's five racers, except for Situ Xin, the others have cars that are only at peak Level 2."
Another Level A racer named Liu Hong laughed and said, "That's right, captain. This time, we, the Jiying Racing Team, must win. If it weren't for Situ Yang's support these years, the Fiery Sun Team would've been left in the dust by us long ago."
Wang Xuan sneered, "Never underestimate the Fiery Sun Team. Situ Yang, as the main player of the Huaxia Alliance Team, the Celestial Dragon Team, has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. At least at the moment, I'm no match for him."
"Captain, aren't you being a bit modest?"
Wang Xuan shook his head and his gaze became serious, saying, "Never underestimate any opponent. This is what Situ Yang taught Situ Xin and the Fiery Sun Team, and now I'm teaching you. Never be careless, understood? If we win this, we become the number one team in H City, and in the future, we may even have the opportunity to defeat an Alliance Team, becoming one of the thirty."
In professional racing, every country has an alliance, each alliance comprises thirty teams representing the country, participating in professional leagues to compete for the world championship.
These thirty teams are managed by the national automobile association, and each Alliance Team seeks sponsorship from some wealthy individuals or businesses, forming a club-like team.
Aside from the thirty Alliance Teams, other teams in the country, like Wang Xuan's Jiying, Situ Xin's Fiery Sun, etc., that are not in the Alliance Teams, need to become the top team in the city and then can challenge one of the thirty Alliance Teams.
The victor can take the place and become one of the thirty teams.
