章 9: Accidentally Broke the World Record
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
The race track in Linhai Circuit was the second hardest track in the entire country. Countless experts and top racers had tasted failure here.
However, Yu Tian was different. He got the hang of it. Li Zhengyi noticed that the boy was practically perfect.
Yu Tian did not take any unnecessary steps.
Zhengyi became skeptical. Perhaps Chu Xin had brought an expert car racer to tease him.
1:59:37.
That was the time Yu Tian took to complete his first lap. He had already exceeded ninety-nine percent of amateur racers by completing a lap under two minutes.
The car was in tip-top condition and Yu Tian was about to run the second lap.
Zhengyi kept quiet. He allowed Yu Tian to drive however he pleased.
Yu Tian had already gotten used to the car after completing the first lap. He stepped on the accelerator while drifting the corners, all without decreasing any speed. In fact, he drove even faster.
Several racers tried competing against him, but they were instantly left behind. The other racers did not even manage to get a good look at the rear of his car.
"D*mn, isn't that Li Zhengyi's car? Why is he taunting us on the race track?"
Almost every other racer had the same thought.
Finally, the second lap was completed.
1:50:21!
Zhengyi was shocked. His personal best on this track was actually three seconds slower than Yu Tian!
The boy had broken his record even though he was not a professional racer!
He even beat a top racer who had won multiple awards!
By the third lap, the car was evidently exhausted.
Zhengyi was about to stop Yu Tian but he changed his mind and remained quiet.
Yu Tian's focused and excited expression hinted at Zhengyi that a miracle was about to happen!
Most of the other cars had gone to the waiting area. The racers were staring at the widescreen. They watched Yu Tian closely as he was about to start his third lap.
Originally, they thought that it was Zhengyi who broke the record. Everyone was talking with each other excitedly.
The signal lit up.
Launch control!
'Vroom…'
The race car sped off at the speed of light. It was even faster than before!
Yu Tian's eyes widened. He could feel a rush of adrenaline. It felt like he had merged with the race car. Yu Tian was able to drift at every corner without making any mistakes.
Zhengyi clenched his fists nervously. He kept glancing at the timer.
This young man was faster than him!
For real!
The nine continuous winding roads are up ahead. It's the most time-consuming part of this track!
Zhengyi felt his heart pounding rapidly while Yu Tian was completely engrossed.
The first corner was a success!
206 km/h!
The second corner was another success!
220 km/h!
'He's not slowing down at all! This is how accidents happen!'
Zhengyi was extremely concerned. He was not worried that his car might get totaled. Rather, he was worried that the young man might miss his shot at breaking the world record due to his impatience.
They were about to face the third corner.
Another success!
235 km/h!
Yu Tian kept increasing his speed!
It almost felt like the car was out of control.
Yu Tian managed to drift through the next five corners effortlessly.
The car was now going at 300 km/h!
Coming up was the ninth corner. It was extremely dangerous and hated by countless racers!
'Screech…'
Yu Tian turned too quickly. The car shook violently, throwing the men off their seats. Blood was rushing to their brains.
Zhengyi unknowingly held his breath. His vision became blurry. He was certain that his heart had stopped beating.
Meanwhile, Yu Tian's eyes were still brilliantly twinkling. He did not take his hands off the steering wheel.
'Sh*t! Sh*t!'
These were the only words in Zhengyi's mind.
Zhengyi shut his eyes instinctively. He was certain that this was the end. They were going to die in a crash.
'As long as we can break the record, it will be worth it!'
That was his final thought.
A few seconds passed. Zhengyi waited quietly for the sweet taste of death.
'Bang!'
'Boom!'
The car landed perfectly on the ground and Zhengyi opened his eyes.
"F*ck me!"
He swore out of instinct.
Miraculously, they survived the fatal ninth corner!
Yu Tian was cranking up the car's speed to its max!
The engines roared and finally, they sped past the finishing line.
'Screech!'
Yu Tian stepped on the brakes and let out a long sigh.
Then, he turned to look at his instructor with sparkling eyes.
"Elder brother Li, this was an incredible experience! Really! So, this is how it feels like to really drive! Haha, amazing!"
Zhengyi ignored him and unbuckled the seatbelt. He got out of the car, placed one of his hands on the door for support, and started vomiting intensely.
The scene shocked Yu Tian.
'Elder brother Li, aren't you a professional car racer? How did a newbie like me make you throw up?'
He thought to himself whilst scratching his head.
Anyway, Yu Tian also got out of the car. The timer shown on the massive screen was 1:45:36.
Since he knew nothing about the top records of this tract, Yu Tian asked curiously, "Elder brother Li, was I really slow? I bet you can finish the laps within one minute."
Zhengyi quickly turned his head around and stared at the screen.
"1:45:36? F*ck me!" he cursed again.
Then, he felt sick once more.
The other racers rushed to the scene.
They saw that Li Zhengyi, the famous car racer who had won multiple global racing awards, was throwing up next to the passenger seat.
An unfamiliar-looking young man was standing next to him. He looked like he was disgusted at his record.
However, after listening to his elder sisters' and other racers' explanations, Yu Tian finally understood what he had achieved.
He felt embarrassed and patted Zhengyi on the shoulder.
"Elder brother Li, I'm sorry. I didn't expect to break the record so easily."
Zhengyi almost fainted. He asked for a bottle of water and finished it in just a few gulps. Then, he grabbed Yu Tian's hands and said emotionally, "Brother, which agency do you belong to? How much are you paid? Would you like to join our agency instead? We'll pay you whatever you want!"
Upon seeing the perplexed expression on Yu Tian's face, he added, "How about 100 million yuan a year? We can negotiate further if you're not satisfied!"
One hundred million yuan?
What the hell?
Yu Tian waved his hands awkwardly.
"Elder brother Li, this is my first time driving a car. You're supposed to be my coach! Ask my elder sisters if you don't believe me!"
Chu Xin, Chu Qing, and Chu Rou nodded simultaneously. Yu Tian was here today so he could learn how to drive.
Why was Zhengyi trying to recruit him?
He even offered one hundred million yuan.
Although that amount was not much for the sisters, it was an insane number for any other racer.
"Yu Tian, tell me the truth. You really have never driven before?"
Chu Qing asked straightforwardly.
She knew a thing or two about racing and the meaning behind Yu Tian's record.
Yu Tian forced a bitter smile.
"Elder sister Qing, you already know about my past. I really haven't driven before. This was the first time I sat behind the wheels!"
"Genius! What an absolute genius! You must join my agency no matter what!"
Zhengyi's eyes were overflowing with excitement. Yu Tian took a few steps away from the man.
"Brother, do you know what you've done?"
Zhengyi was extremely enthusiastic. His lips were even quivering.
"You broke the world record!"
Yu Tian felt embarrassed because he thought that the man was bluffing.
"I had the best record, 1:53:21, at Linhai Circuit. It was achieved three years ago during an international competition! You've already broken my record during the second lap! Furthermore, the car was not in its best condition during the third lap, but you managed to finish at 1:45:36. Clearly, you're a genius!"
Still, Yu Tian was not convinced. He asked the other racers nearby, "Is it true?"
They confirmed that it was and he pouted.
"This was too easy. It's not challenging at all."
Then, he turned around to leave.
Zhengyi was about to say something when Yu Tian suddenly looked over his shoulder and said, "Oh right, when can I get my driving license? I want to drive the Brabus G!"
