C224 Random Mission Race Track
"Success!" Liang Yu exclaimed, gripping the steering wheel with exhilaration.
He was soaked through with sweat, a testament to the adrenaline rush he had just experienced.
He had braced himself for the worst, but against all odds, the Ferrari—masterfully controlled by Lin Dong's remote commands—had managed to overtake on the curve and leave Wang Tiancheng's McCullen GMT sports car in the dust!
It was nothing short of incredible!
"Big brother! You're a legend!! I love you! Hahaha!" Liang Yu couldn't contain his joy.
"Wow! He's overtaken him!"
"Goodness gracious! He actually nailed that sharp turn!"
"I thought the car was going to fly off the track a moment ago. That was intense!"
"Dong was the one directing Liang Shao!"
"Dong is phenomenal! Dong is invincible!"
"Now McCullen has no chance of catching up! Eat our dust! Hahaha!"
...
Cheers of excitement erupted from the team crowd.
Through the drone footage, everyone had witnessed the Ferrari's breathtaking overtaking maneuver.
The entire sequence lasted merely two to three seconds, yet it was packed with suspense and excitement!
They hadn't anticipated that Lin Dong could actually pull off such a feat, remotely guiding Liang Yu to flawlessly overtake Wang Tiancheng and reclaim the lead!
Lee Zhan, unable to contain his excitement, clapped Lin Dong on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Dong! You're truly a miracle worker! I can't believe you pulled that off! Haha!"
Lin Dong simply smiled.
He had been anxious too, but thankfully, his Car God skills granted him the precision to control the sports car's movement through time and space, enabling that perfect pass.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and calmly instructed, "Liang Yu, now's not the time to lose focus. Your race isn't over yet. Concentrate on your driving and keep it steady."
"Understood, big brother!" Liang Yu replied cheerfully, as he steadied his speed.
Amidst the roaring cheers, the Ferrari sports car sped off into the distance.
The McLaren was just rounding the bend.
Wang Tiancheng's eyes seethed with shock and fury.
He had never imagined Liang Yu would dare to attempt such a risky overtaking move on a bend—and succeed!
The audacity of it all was utterly maddening!
"Beating me won't be that easy!" Wang Tiancheng muttered through clenched teeth, flooring the accelerator. The engine roared to life, propelling the sports car forward with a surge of power.
The McLaren's engine had been heavily modified, allowing it to reach incredibly high speeds, far surpassing what a Ferrari could achieve.
Yet, the Ferrari had a significant lead, and catching up was no easy feat.
Wang Tiancheng refused to give in. Clenching his teeth and pushing through the strain, he was determined not to concede defeat until the very end.
"Wuwuwu!"
The roar of the engine filled the air as the McLaren sped up in pursuit.
The Ferrari was nearing the starting point again, and Liang Yu could see the spectators, including Lin Dong at the forefront of the crowd.
A smile spread across his face; victory seemed within his grasp!
Wang Tiancheng, trailing close behind, saw the same scene unfold with dismay. He had managed to leave Liang Yu behind, but to his surprise, Liang Yu had an incredible stroke of luck and had overtaken him.
The frustration was palpable.
As if fate had heard Wang Tiancheng's inner turmoil, the Ferrari sports car, previously speeding ahead, began to emit a cacophony of noises from the engine compartment.
A series of snaps followed, and the power system abruptly failed!
Liang Yu, pressing the accelerator, watched his expression darken. He quickly attempted to restart the engine, which roared back to life only to shudder violently and then die.
Caught off guard, Liang Yu's head slammed into the steering wheel.
"Bang!"
Blood was drawn from his head.
In an instant, the sports car came to a halt, visibly slowing to a stop.
"What's wrong? Why has Young Liang stopped?"
"It might be an engine malfunction. I heard some strange noises earlier."
"Can't be, can it? We're almost there, and now this happens!"
"What in the world is happening?"
...
Liang Yu's team erupted in shouts.
Their faces turned grave.
Nobody could have anticipated that Liang Yu, on the verge of victory, would suffer a car malfunction.
As the Ferrari decelerated, the McLaren, driven by Wang Tiancheng, surged forward, passing the Ferrari and reaching the starting point.
"Brother Cheng is back! Haha, Brother Cheng has won!"
"Incredible! I thought Liang Yu would be the first to return!"
"Can you believe his car broke down? Talk about divine intervention!"
"Absolutely, Brother Cheng is unstoppable!"
...
Wang Tiancheng's team members were all cheering and in high spirits.
They gathered around to greet Wang Tiancheng.
"Check on Liang Yu!"
Lin Dong gestured towards Liang Yu's Ferrari.
Lee Zhan quickly led a few people over and they swiftly pulled Liang Yu, his head bloodied, from the car.
Someone grabbed a tissue and pressed it against Liang Yu's head to temporarily stem the bleeding.
Lin Dong's expression darkened.
He hadn't anticipated the sports car would fail. Likely, debris had entered the engine during the drive due to the previously damaged front wing, jamming the transmission belt and causing the engine to stall!
Moreover, seeing Liang Yu injured was deeply unsettling.
Amidst his followers, Wang Tiancheng gloated, "Thinking of challenging me? The gods are on my side! That's what you get, hahaha!"
His taunts were brash and unapologetic.
The convoy members behind Lin Dong seethed with anger at his jeers, yet none dared to confront him.
Wang Tiancheng's influential background made him a formidable adversary.
Lin Dong watched Wang Tiancheng, his gaze sharp and piercing.
This man's arrogance and cruelty were repulsive to Lin Dong.
Wang Tiancheng caught Lin Dong's steely gaze.
Standing confidently, hands on hips, he taunted, "What's the matter? You're Liang Yu's big brother, right? If I'm such an eyesore, why not race me and get revenge for your brother? Haha!"
"Ding! Host has triggered a random quest: Extreme Racetrack!"
"You can't show weakness in the face of an enemy's insults. You must retaliate!"
"Complete the mission for an undisclosed reward (claimable upon completion)."
"Let the show begin!"
The system announced a random mission.
Lin Dong's eyes narrowed as he addressed Wang Tiancheng, "I accept your challenge. I will make you pay for all the harm you've caused Liang Yu!"
