Chapter 309 Racing match with V
Night, Santo Domingo Dam.

Li You arrived on time on Nazarei, and saw V already waiting at the edge of the dam.

"Why did you arrive so early today?"

He stopped Nazaré directly at the edge of the dam, and then came to V's side.

V was dressed in a very street style today. He wore a two-pole rainbow blended waistless shirt on his upper body, a pair of black denim shorts on his lower body, and a pair of off-white sneakers on his feet.

Beside her, a gray-black "racer" model Nazarei leaned there quietly.

Li You's eyes lit up when he saw V's appearance: "Did you just come here after bombing the street? It's so fashionable that I can't tell that you are actually a company dog."

V: "Huh."

She pulled down her sports sunglasses and said, "I've heard that you just bought a Nazarei recently. It looks really good. Just in time. Let's compete to see who is faster."

Li You looked at her: "Where did you know that?"

The first half of the route chosen by V was basically the reverse of the Santo Domingo race in the game, but in the second half it turned to the Westbrook route, and the final finish line ran to bad soil again.

She glanced at Li You who was following behind, and her voice rang in Li You's earphones: "You didn't even get rid of this. Not bad, you worked very hard!"

In addition, V's riding skills are indeed excellent, and the road to the dam has many curves, so the speed advantage cannot be used, and Li You can't find a chance to overtake him for a while.

Li You also looked at V's movements and secretly estimated her level.

V led all the way, and soon left the dam area, left the downhill curve, and ran onto the straight and spacious road in Santo Domingo with clear east-west directions.

But based on what Li You saw, the V riding skill in front of him should still be pretty good.

Li You replied: "Farewell, try your best not to be thrown away, that's what you have to do next!"

V curled his lips: "Of course it was Jack who said it. He couldn't stand it after seeing your Nazareth last time. Every time he contacted me, he always said, 'I will definitely drive a Nazareth in the future.' He always wants to borrow my car, it’s like crazy.”

"Heh, let's prove it." V turned the accelerator, the racer's engine roared, and the exhaust pipe began to puff out smoke.

"So I said, next time I compete with you, if I lose, I will lend him this racer for a month. If I win..."

Li You subconsciously asked: "What about it?"

This customized Nazarei is of course qualified to be named. Originally, Li You had already thought about it, but Aiji complained that his naming taste was not as good as David's, so it is still to be decided.

V had the first move advantage and firmly maintained it. Although Li You was close behind, it was difficult for him to catch up or even overtake him.

Li You has already seen that V's racing driver is obviously specially customized, and there is only a slight gap in speed compared to his Nazarei.

For example, zooming, scanning, and displaying various information or signs are very convenient.

Li Youxin said... No, he complained directly: "Who are you scolding? Go as fast as you can, don't take me with you."

Next to him, V raised his hand and pointed to send a counter to Li You's phone. A red countdown immediately appeared in front of his eyes, gradually decreasing from "5".

V glanced at the eyepiece on Li You's face and immediately saw its effectiveness. He nodded: "It's not bad. This way, even if you lose, you won't be able to make excuses."

This piece of equipment was the product of an idea put forward by David, then designed and assembled by Pyrrha, and finally adjusted by Sasha. After completion, the system also recognized its function and updated the item description.

"...He will never mention a motorcycle in front of me!" V glanced at Li You, raised his hand and threw a separation chip, "Here, here is the road map!"

Two Nazareths were speeding along the dam road in the dark night, one behind the other, causing waves of sound that echoed in the night sky.

She could casually fight her way out of the car race in Night City and beat the top car driver, or she could start from downstairs of her apartment and drive a block away to see Lao Wei for medical treatment, or she could A road killer who can hit more than a dozen cars and several traffic policemen in a row.

This single-eye goggle is connected to the translator headset and worn on the left ear. It can realize most of the functions of Li You's prosthetic eye.

"Isn't it just to raise the stakes? I'll follow! The loser agrees to a condition!" V curled his lips, "Hurry up and don't wait too long!"

V: "Oh?"

The route planning highlighted a limitless point, and she drew a line completely casually.

Li You took the chip, inserted it into his smartphone, started the navigation, and then connected it to his portable translator headset and smart single-eye goggles.

Li You said no more and got into his car.

V raised his long legs and stepped onto Nazaré's "racing driver", held the handlebars, turned his head and looked at Li You, with a provocative smile on his lips: "Come on, let me try how fast you are!"

As a player-controlled character, V's driving skills are quite metaphysical.

Li You smiled slightly: "Let's wait until you win."

Li You was slightly startled. V's racer was faster than he expected. Naturally, it was no time to hesitate at this time. He also turned the throttle, shifted gears, accelerated, and followed.

With this thing, among other things, Li You at least does not need to look up at the front and down at the rear scene projected on the mobile phone screen when driving. He no longer needs to hold a mobile phone sticker when scanning wanted criminals. It's very useful for taking pictures of people.

"If you lose, you can do me a favor for free." Li You said.

By the way, this thing looks a lot like Yu-Gi-Oh's D-scope. I wonder if I can use it to play cards in the future...

Two Nazareis rushed out!
Naturally, Li You didn't intend to give up, but he also wanted to observe the performance of V's racing driver first, but he didn't want V to start at full speed, causing a trail of smoke and dust, leaving him behind!
"--oh!?"

When the red count reached zero, Li You and V turned the accelerator at the same time!
"Om-!!"

"boom--!!"

[Portable translator (with eyepiece): A portable translator with a single eyepiece, which can translate any established language or prototype language into the user's language. It can also be connected to smartphones and other devices to function as both an eyepiece and a headset. . Upgradeable. 】

The two of them skipped the harsh words to each other and pushed their cars onto the road. They took the marking line on the dam next to it as a starting point and finally adjusted the vehicle's condition.

The two vehicles drove past the dam viewing platform, then passed through the tunnel, and rushed along the winding downhill road towards Santo Domingo.

Li You said no more and kept chasing V at the highest speed. On the straight-line section, the speed difference finally became apparent. The violent engine of Li You's Nazarei began to show its strength, gradually shortening the distance between the two.

V: “…!?”

"Good boy!"

She also tried to distance herself, but the speed of the racer had increased to the limit and she was unable to maintain the lead.

The already small gap between the two gradually shortened, and finally at a corner, Li You took advantage of the situation and flicked his tail, surpassing V!

He turned the corner gracefully, brushing the exhaust fumes off V's face.

V: "..."

She gritted her teeth and regardless of the gradually narrowing of the road ahead, she immediately increased her speed to the highest level and chased after Li You!
But this time, just like what Li Youyao said, V should try his best not to be thrown away when it's his turn.

The road ahead passed through Santo Domingo and Westbrook, crossing the straight streets of the River Valley area and the spacious overpass of Charter Hill. The speed of V's racer was originally not as fast as Li You's Nazaré, so he was taken ahead in this terrain. , then as long as Li You doesn't make any low-level mistakes, it's basically impossible to overtake him.

Of course V was not convinced, and tried desperately to catch up, using various techniques in turn, such as drifting in corners, using vehicles on the road to hinder Li You, driving into the opposite lane to accelerate, etc., but it was the best. Once he got within a parking space of Li You, he couldn't get any closer. After experiencing this world, Li You's driving skills have become quite proficient. Even though V is also very good, he still can't catch up with him.

Rather, what surprised Li You the most was that V was almost as good as him in this aspect.

It seems that V really plays motorcycles a lot on weekdays and in the past.

As expected of a child from a wealthy family, the kind who could even afford to eat real fish when she was a child.

One after another, the two passed through Westbrook and drove along the viaduct toward the Badlands area.

The finish line was only two or three kilometers away. With the speed of the two of them, it could be said that it was right in front of them. At this time, V was still two parking spaces behind Li You, and he couldn't help but become a little anxious.

Are you going to lose again this time? She can't accept it!
V glanced around and saw the rolling hills beside the road, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

We can only make dangerous moves!
V turned the direction and rode the racer off the road. The undulating road suddenly caused the car body to be bumpy.

Li You also scanned her movements, but he didn't know what V wanted to do, so he just kept moving forward at a high speed.

But what he didn't expect was that V's target was none other than a hill on the wasteland ahead.

The finish line is clearly visible ahead, Li You remains in the lead, while V is still racing outside the road.

But the next moment, V suddenly turned the accelerator, raised the speed to the highest speed, and rushed directly onto the mound in front!

The racer's tires suddenly jumped, and the whole car took off with V, falling far away to the finish line!
Li You: "...!? What the hell?"

V actually wants to ride a motorcycle! ?

He often does this trick in the game, but it is based on the premise that the motorcycle in the game cannot be broken, so he really didn't expect that V would actually do this in the real world.

But, looking at her movements... maybe she will fall?
"Fuck! You don't know how to do this!" Li You scolded, "Don't play with the food!"

He maintained top speed and rushed straight to the finish line!

V flew in the air, but it started to flip and spin in mid-air, and it was obviously impossible to land smoothly at all.

The two of them crossed the finish line almost at the same time, one on the ground and one in the air!
But after that, Li You gradually slowed down and stopped the car, but V jumped on the ground with the racing driver, bounced up again, and fell to the ground!
"V——!"

Li You had already gotten out of the car and ran over. Seeing this, he hurriedly raised his hand and threw a card. The card flew towards V's landing point, and then with a "bang", it turned into a large light purple mushroom, and he caught it with a pop. V.

"V? Are you okay?"

Li You arrived, and the transformed big spray mushroom had disappeared. V was still a little confused: "What was that thing just now?"

"...It's a disposable airbag." Li You said helplessly, "Is this all you care about?"

"I've never seen an airbag that looks like this before." V coughed twice and added, "Let's not talk about it for now, who won just now?"

Li You: "6."

"Although your persistence is admirable, it's a pity that I won."

He clicked on the mobile phone software, which showed the record just now. Li You crossed the line less than half a second earlier than V.

V didn't believe it, so he clicked on the playback, and then saw that when she was playing on the air car just now, because she couldn't control it, she and the car spun in the air, and when she crossed the line, she happened to pass sideways.

She was immediately annoyed: "Fuck! If I adjust the direction a little, I will win!"

Li Yuyou asked: "Do you really want to win?"

V said: "...you don't understand."

Li You spread his hands: "Okay, I don't understand. But if you lose, you have to promise me something, and you have to lend your racing driver to Jack... um."

Having said this, the two of them turned their heads together and looked at the Nazarei racer belonging to V.

I saw that the valuable racing car had slipped far away and was embedded in the roadside guardrail, and the wheels were still spinning at a very slow speed.

The two people hurried over to take a look and found that the car had been severely damaged and would never be rideable without returning it to the factory for overhaul.

"Um..." V didn't know what to say at the moment, "It seems that Jack can only wait."

She said and looked at Li You again, "Then I will probably have to go back with you."

Li You didn't refuse, and at the same time he remembered another thing.

"...By the way, you seem to have said that you are leaving Night City?"

"It's too late to remember!" V rolled his eyes at him, "I called the repair shop and we talked as we walked."

Li You got back on his Nazaré, and V got on his back seat without hesitation. The two then set off and returned to Night City.

The starry sky of the bad land passed over the two of them, and V's deep voice echoed in Li You's ears.

"A global corporate summit will be held in Jakarta. Arasaka Corporation will be one of the hosts, and all the elites of the Counterintelligence Department will be transferred there to deal with possible... no, inevitable attacks.

"Jenkins himself will probably not leave Night City, and as the current second-in-command of the Counter-Intelligence Department of Night City, I have the unshirkable responsibility and will serve as the representative of the Night City branch and lead the team there.

"So I won't be in town for a while."

Li You understood. In short, V was going on a business trip again, and this time it was probably a long-term business trip.

At the company summit in Jakarta, I had the impression that Li You had seen the Arasaka company chronology on the big screen when he was doing the Arasaka Tower alone. It was indeed 76.

It seems that V is indeed going to take on a big job this time. If we also consider that before the prologue of the company in the game, V is probably on a business trip in Europe, then maybe she will not leave Night City until Just came back next year.

Li You thought thoughtfully: "...So you want to entrust me with all your property in Night City? I understand, and I will definitely not let down your last wish..."

"Go away!" V made him laugh, and punched him on the shoulder, "I'm just reminding you that when I go on a business trip, there will be no one here in Arasaka to help you, so be careful. Click, don’t be jointly wanted by various companies!”

Li You waved his hand: "I want to become a legend, and being wanted by the company will only help me improve my reputation!"

V: "Oh, that's not a small tone, so I hope you can become a legend before you are laid to rest!"

Li You smiled: "I can lend you some good words!"

He carried V all the way back to Jintingmu Square. V waved goodbye to him coolly: "Then see you next time!"

"See you next time, don't die outside." Li You also replied.

"That's what I want to say, but don't wait until I return to Night City and find that you only have one jar of ashes left!" V gestured his middle finger to Li You unceremoniously and cursed with a smile.

"Then I will disappoint you. I don't intend to die in front of you!"

Li You laughed and waved his hand, then started Nazarei and galloped away.
