Meanwhile, just as Yue Feng was shocked by Ye Qiu at the entrance of H City, waiting for Wang Long to arrive, and then pocketing Wang Long's Lamborghini, Wang Long was lying in his Lamborghini, engrossed in watching a movie recommended by his henchman.
His henchmen were also lying near the Lamborghini, watching the movie with Wang Long.
At this point, White Hair checked the time, seeing it was already 35 minutes, hesitated for a moment, and said to Wang Long, "Brother Long, it's been 35 minutes."
"Waiting for another five minutes, at that guy's current car speed, he's probably just reaching 60 kilometers."
Wang Long waved his hand. White Hair wanted to say something but was stopped by other henchmen, saying, "White Hair, why are you anxious? Brother Long's Lamborghini can reach a speed of 350KM per second, with a top speed nearing 400KM, while that kid's broken pickup truck is probably only moving at about 60 kilometers now. Brother Long can still easily surpass him even after 40 minutes of letting him go ahead.
Plus, it sounds better to say Brother Long allowed the kid a full forty minutes, avoiding any accusations of bullying with a good car against a broken pickup and winning. Then, once Brother Long wins, we can see how humiliated the kid will be and if he still brags about once beating Deputy Captain Wang Jie."
White Hair nods at his comrades' words, knowing all this, but still feeling that in the end, Wang Long might run into trouble.
"Alright, time's up. I'll start the chase now."
At this moment, Wang Long turned off the movie and told his henchmen, before starting his Lamborghini.
As the engines roared to life, Wang Long looked at the henchmen outside and said, "Watch how I surpass him after giving him forty minutes."
"Go Brother Long!"
"That kid will be humiliated to tears shortly."
Upon hearing the henchmen's words, Wang Long sneered, "Kid, let's see how arrogant you are later."
Then he started the Lamborghini, which spun its rear tires at the start before exploding out, reaching a speed of 60 miles instantly, and quickly hitting 200 miles once on the road, accelerating rapidly.
"Already 350 miles, it seems Brother Long is aiming to break his own record."
"Yeah, Brother Long's Lamborghini is refitted with top-tier Level 1 components, akin to a Level 2 race car. With Brother Long taking this seriously now, he might finish the Minshan highway in about an hour."
"Let's go catch up and see if Brother Long can set a new record."
Once Wang Long's Lamborghini departed, his henchmen began discussing but seemed to disregard that Wang Long was competing against Ye Qiu, instead focusing on whether Wang Long could break a record.
They hadn't thought, or rather, their thinking never entertained the possibility that Ye Qiu had any hope of winning from the start, despite Wang Long giving a 40-minute head start; they didn't believe Ye Qiu could win.
Actually, it wasn't just them thinking that way; anyone would think like that.
The pickup that Ye Qiu was driving was seen by the public as a vehicle more ordinary than ordinary, and it was a pickup truck already deemed obsolete years ago.
Power: 120, top speed: 198.
While Wang Long's Lamborghini had a power of 380, with a top speed of 410.
Comparison between the two, despite Ye Qiu's pickup truck having run for 40 minutes ahead, held no chance for victory, and Wang Long himself was a Grade C racer, whereas Ye Qiu, they believed, was good at bragging rather than actual skill.
As for driving skills, they hadn't seen them, but how good could a poor kid driving a pickup truck be?
Just as Wang Long's henchmen drove their cars towards H City, Cheng Jie, who had previously driven towards H City, had just reached 70 kilometers on Minshan Highway.
It wasn't that he didn't want to drive fast; rather his driving skills were truly worrisome. At such a speed, he almost crashed several times, so although he was anxious, he didn't dare to drive at full speed.
But he was puzzled because, as per his estimation, while his speed wasn't the fastest, he should have been able to catch up with Ye Qiu since they both started off simultaneously.
However, on the road, he hadn't seen Ye Qiu, which puzzled him.
"What's going on, where is Ye Qiu, already close to 75 kilometers?"
Driving his Ford and seeing the roadside kilometer marker hitting 75, Cheng Jie saw no sign of Ye Qiu, leaving him baffled.
"Didn't see him on the road, could Ye Qiu have already reached the finish line?" Cheng Jie thought but quickly shook his head, "Impossible, how could Ye Qiu's broken car reach the finish line, but where is Ye Qiu now?"
Roar roar.
Just as Cheng Jie wondered about Ye Qiu's whereabouts, he suddenly heard the sound of a Lamborghini engine roaring behind him, startling him.
Through the rearview mirror, he saw a Lamborghini speeding at 430, rapidly closing in on him, "It's Wang Long, going so fast?"
Upon seeing Wang Long's Lamborghini, Cheng Jie's face turned pale.
"It's bad, Wang Long let 40 minutes pass, yet his speed is still fast. If Ye Qiu gets caught up, what will happen?" Cheng Jie worried as the Lamborghini whizzed past him.
"But Ye Qiu, where are you now? Did something happen to you?"
Cheng Jie hesitated, seeing the Lamborghini disappear in an instant, feeling anxious.
And in the Lamborghini that had just overtaken Cheng Jie, Wang Long's face was extremely grim, realizing that his car had reached the limit as the dashboard hit the red.
"What's going on, already reached 85 kilometers, where's the kid?"
Wang Long glanced at the kilometer marker, filled with doubt.
"Could he have reached the finish line?"
Filled with extreme displeasure, thinking the stakes could cost him his beloved car, Wang Long gritted his teeth hard and activated his ultimate weapon.
Rapid Booster.
This device is installed on the cars of some main members of their Jiying Racing Team, but it is absolutely not allowed in official races.
Because using this device not only makes the car accelerate as if boosted, breaking the speed rules, but also poses a danger due to the car being under too much load and moving too fast.
However, at this moment, Wang Long couldn't care less, he couldn't lose...
"470.490.500..."
After Wang Long activated the rapid accelerator, the speed of the Lamborghini instantly soared to 500, but it couldn't go any higher.
But even so, the Lamborghini was almost flying,
The kilometers on the roadside were quickly swept past, and in a flash, it had reached 120, with only 10 kilometers to the finish line.
Even at the Lamborghini's previous speed, 10 kilometers would be covered in an instant, not to mention the current speed.
"There! Huh? No one?"
Seeing that he was about to reach the finish line, Wang Long was delighted, but then confused when he saw only Yue Feng and not Ye Qiu.
However, after his initial confusion, he suddenly thought of something and joy flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself, "That kid hasn't reached the finish line, maybe something happened to him on the way."
Although the Mingshan Highway leading to H City was straight, with no towns around, there were forests on both sides of the road. So, when Wang Long didn't see Ye Qiu at the finish line, he immediately thought that Ye Qiu must have had an accident en route.
He couldn't believe that Ye Qiu reached the finish line 30 minutes ago while he was still watching a movie, delivered all the tofu intact, had some early breakfast, and was now returning to H City.
At this moment, after delivering the goods, Ye Qiu was calmly driving his pickup truck back towards the entrance of H City.
Meanwhile, in his heart, he was talking to Fle: "Fle, after just opening Super Driving, how much did the proficiency increase?"
Fle replied: "Because your personal awareness was quite strong and self-driving completion was high, the system determined that you gained 400 points of proficiency this time."
"400 points? So high?"
Ye Qiu was stunned.
"How much did each of the five main attributes increase?" Ye Qiu asked, as he had heard a lot of system prompts in his mind while driving just now.
Fle replied: "The system is still calculating..."
Ye Qiu nodded and quietly waited.
About two minutes later, Fle said: "The system calculation is complete: This time, you completed a 130-kilometer section with Super Driving, including rapid turns, full drift maneuvers, rapid stops, etc...
The system finally determined: Physical Attributes increased by 700 Experience Points, Strength increased by 700 Experience Points, Agility increased by 1300 Experience Points, Spirit increased by 2200 Points, and Intelligence increased by 2000 Points."
"This... Spirit and Intelligence increased so much?"
Ye Qiu was shocked.
"Yes," Fle said, "because opening Super Driving requires great concentration of your Spirit, thus the extra increase. Moreover, Intelligence increased due to the judgments needed during Super Driving about crises and other aspects."
"I see." Ye Qiu nodded and then opened his Attribute Panel.
Car God System.
Host: Ye Qiu: Level C Racer (System evaluation results may not correspond to real-world racer level)

Experience Points: 2403 (Gained through races, vehicle modifications, system rewards, used to boost racer's five main attributes)

Seeing the Agility Attribute directly upgrade to LV3, Ye Qiu was very satisfied, and when he saw that his racer level had now advanced to Level C, a smile appeared on his face.
"Fle, according to outside evaluation, I guess I'm close to a 3-Star Bronze Chariot King now."
Fle replied: "I don't know, you need to get tested yourself."
"..." Ye Qiu was helpless, then just as he was about to say something, he saw that he was already at the mouth of H City, so he closed his mouth.
As he saw the entrance to H City, he frowned slightly as he noticed Wang Long standing in front of his Lamborghini, talking to Yue Feng about something.
"Heh, looks like Wang Long doesn't believe I've been here long enough, alright, let's make him realize."
With that, Ye Qiu abruptly sped up his pickup truck, charging towards Wang Long at high speed, seeming as if he meant to run straight into Wang Long.
