Beyblade: You call this a four-wheel drive vehicle?

Chapter 170: Conference Opening, Captains’ Showdown

Lin Che introduced Xiao You's situation to everyone, and it took everyone some time to accept that there was a ghost living in Lin Che's laboratory.

"How are Xiaohao and the others doing recently?" Lin Che asked.

"They were recently taken away for training by Dr. Tsuchiya, and they should be back in the next few days." Xiao You said, "But J did move to Dr. Tsuchiya's place for training after he was selected for the Neon national team."

"I see," Lin Che said, "That's a pity. I wanted to show them the super racing version of the Lightspeed Dragon."

"That's what they said before they set off." Xiao You said with a smile, "Xiao Hao also said that he would definitely show you how powerful the current Tornado Charge is when the World Cup comes."

"That's a pity. We were not assigned to the same group. We should only play against each other once in the main competition." Lin Che said, "What about the winter competition? It should have ended by now."

"J won the championship in the winter competition, Xiaolie and Yingyulong came in second and third, and Xiaohao got out of control due to the tornado before the finish line. Not only did he get eliminated, he also dragged Fujiyoshi down with him." Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"This is really like his style." Lin Che said.

"Let's start training too." Gao Xiaoman said, "Our first game is less than a week away."

……

For the following week, everyone temporarily lived in the institute until the opening day.

During this period, apart from Lin Che's mother who came over before returning home, no one else came to disturb them.

It seems that Xiao Hao and the others probably don’t know that Lin Che has returned to the research institute, but Lin Che doesn’t care too much. Anyway, everyone will meet at the opening ceremony tomorrow.

The next morning, Dr. Chen drove a large RV to the entrance of the institute to pick people up. The WGP official prepared one car for each participating team. During some outdoor competitions, this car can also be used as a temporary supply area to provide support for the players.

"The team uniforms are at the back, remember to change into them." Dr. Chen reminded everyone before they got on the bus.

After Lin Che and the other four got on the bus, they looked at the five sets of team uniforms neatly lying on the sofa in the rear compartment. After picking them up, they saw that they were standard racing suits with protective designs on the elbows, knees and other parts. The sleeves and hem of the clothes were carefully embroidered with silver cloud patterns, but the color scheme was a bit old-fashioned, the standard tomato and egg color scheme of the Chinese national team.

After everyone changed their clothes in the locker room, they looked at each other and were all quite satisfied with their clothes.

Soon, everyone arrived at the venue of the opening ceremony, put on sports glasses and headphones, and jumped out of the car one by one.

"Well, they look very energetic." Dr. Chen looked at his team members who looked energetic and nodded with a smile.

The opening ceremony was held at the Tokyo Olympic Main Stadium. When the Chinese War Dragon Team arrived, there were already quite a few supply trucks parked in the parking lot.

Lin Che also saw a few familiar faces here.

Kurosawa and Kondo Gen were standing in front of a supply truck with the Spanish flag on it. Kurosawa was talking to a tall brown-haired boy, while Kondo Gen was standing aside quietly licking a lollipop.

On the other side, in front of the French team's supply vehicle, Tufang Ling was giving a serious speech to four European boys.

Under the Tanzanian flag, Okita Kai was surrounded by four beautiful black pearls.

"Hi! Lin Che!" Kondo Gen was the first to notice Lin Che and immediately waved at him excitedly.

After hearing his voice, Kurosawa, Hijikata Rei, and Okita Kai all looked over here.

Kurosawa nodded to Lin Che, then grabbed Kondo Gen who wanted to run over to say hello to Lin Che.

"Captain, do you know that person?" The little girl next to Okita Kai looked at Lin Che with some curiosity.

"Yes, he is a very strong mini racer." Okita Kai nodded, "In the last season in Neon, he won the unprecedented season grand slam. Even I am no match for him."

"Are you stronger than the captain?" The girls around Okita Kai all showed surprised expressions. After Okita Kai went to Africa for training, he met these mini racers on the grassland. He defeated them with a crushing attitude without any suspense, and then formed this team. But now their captain personally admitted that there are racers who are stronger than him.

"However, that was only three months ago. Now both I and the Spider King are much stronger than before. If we meet again, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose." Okita Kai said.

"Captain, we will help you defeat him together!" said a little girl next to Okita Kai.

“That’s right!” Upon seeing this, the other girls also gathered around, and Okita Kai was once again surrounded by the black beauties.

Lin Che, who was watching this scene from afar, chuckled and said, "This boy is really lucky."

"You really came here." At this time, Hijikata Ling suddenly left the team and came to Lin Che.

"Yes, I can't bear to miss such a grand event." Lin Che said with a smile.

"Our two teams are divided into the same group, so you will be knocked down by me twice." Hijikata Ling said coldly.

"It seems that you have gained a lot during this period of time. However, it is not that easy to defeat me." Lin Che said, his eyes becoming sharper.

"Hmph!" Hijikata snorted coldly, then turned around and walked towards the direction of his team.

"Who is this person?" Since Lin Che and Tufang Ling were communicating in Neon language, Huo Yuesheng and the others had not yet turned on the simultaneous interpretation machine provided by the organizer, so no one understood what was going on. However, Tufang Ling's provocative tone was quite obvious, so everyone came over and asked.

"An old rival in Neon." Lin Che said.

"I remember you won the Grand Slam in Japan, right? Doesn't that mean he has never won once? Why is he so arrogant?" Huo Yuesheng said.

"He is just like that." Lin Che shrugged.

At this time, members of other teams also came over one after another. Lin Che also recognized many characters that appeared in the original novel. The first one was the American Space Rangers team wearing sunglasses. Under the leadership of captain Brett, they walked into the venue confidently. Then it was the Italian Pegasus team. Carlo put his left hand in his pocket and played with a knife in his right hand. He walked into the venue with four team members. He looked very difficult to mess with.

Soon after, a group of teenagers wearing racing suits with Viking pirate elements walked into the field. A beautiful girl with white hair in the team instantly attracted the attention of the four boys from the Chinese team. Even Lin Che couldn't help but take a few more glances. There was no other way, as the Chinese people's resistance to white hair was indeed a bit too low. At the front of the team, a boy who looked confident and had the same silly look as Xiao Hao strode into the field.

After them came the German Iron Wolves. Michael, the European mini racing prince, walked in gracefully with his team members, waving to the reporters around him from time to time.

"Is that guy Michael?" Huo Yuesheng was so angry at the pretentious look on his face, "Humph, let me deal with that guy in our match with Germany!"

"Ah Che!!!" Two cheers sounded behind Lin Che. When Lin Che turned around, he saw Teng Ji and Xiao Hao rushing towards him.

The two gave Lin Che a big hug. Behind them, Ying Yulong, Xiao Lie, and J also walked over with a smile.

"Long time no see!" Xiao Lie greeted with a smile.

"Yeah, long time no see." Lin Che lifted the two people hanging on him away and responded.

"Yuesheng! Xiaohu! Hewang! And Xiaoman! You are here too!" After Xiaohao was carried down by Lin Che, he greeted everyone else enthusiastically. During the summer vacation, everyone accumulated deep friendships through mini racing.

"When did you arrive in Neon?" asked Yingyulong.

"A week ago, I wanted to hang out with you guys, but I couldn't get in touch with you guys." Lin Che said.

"We have been training in the mountains for a while." Fujiyoshi said, "I will entertain you after the opening ceremony!"

After the two teams communicated for a while, it was time for each team to enter.

Every team received warm cheers when entering the venue. Because of the super high popularity brought by Lin Che's Grand Slam in Neon, the Chinese War Dragons team was arranged to be the second to last to appear, second only to the host Neon TRF Victory team. And because of Lin Che's super high popularity, the Chinese War Dragons team also enjoyed the treatment of half a home court here.

Of course, after the Neon TRF Victory Team came on the field, they received louder cheers than any other team as they were playing at home.

After all the team members came on stage, it was time for the speeches. Mr. Tie Xin, as the honorary chairman of the World Mini Racing Association, walked onto the stage in a neat suit. However, his attire looked strange to Lin Che.

However, when most people present thought that the old man would give a long speech, he only said: "There are quite a lot of people here, it's quite lively."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little awkward, and Teacher Tie Xin showed a mischievous smile. However, his next words instantly ignited the enthusiasm of all the audience present.

"Next, we will invite the captains of the 24 participating teams to present a wonderful performance for everyone!"

Members of the participating team: !!!

I haven't heard of this link before!
At this moment, Lin Che suddenly noticed that in the back corner of the central stage, there were several staff members dancing and gesticulating. He realized that this might be something that Tie Xin Lao Deng had decided to do on the spur of the moment.

Now, the atmosphere on the scene has reached this point, and the organizers can't do anything about Tie Xin Lao Deng. They can only send representatives to discuss with the participating teams after a brief period of chaos.

"A big melee among 24 captains? Then let's take advantage of this match to collect some intelligence." Brett stretched his body and agreed to the match. "Hama, pay attention to collecting data, especially Germany and Italy."

"Yes, Captain." A big black man in the American team's camp nodded in response.

Most of the teams present agreed to play this game for the same reason, except for a few.

"This exhibition match is not within the scope of the competition we agreed upon at the beginning." Facing the official who came to negotiate, Carlo said coldly, "Besides, if it's an invitational tournament, I won't participate if there's no prize money."

Carlo’s meaning is very clear: he has to pay more!
After hearing Carlo's words, the official staff's faces looked a little unhappy, but after all, this was the result of their failure to manage their own Lao Deng, and now they could only bite the bullet and agree to Carlo's request for more money.

On the German team side, after hearing the news, Michael tidied his blond hair, then smiled and said to Ye Li: "You go to this game."

"But, isn't this a competition between captains?" Ye Li asked somewhat puzzled.

"I was too excited last night and didn't sleep well. My car is not in the best condition. You should go ahead. Haven't you been a captain before?" Michael said.

"Go ahead. You've always been in the second team before. You need a victory to tell the world of your existence." At this time, Hugh, another captain-level driver of the Iron Wolf Team, patted Ye Li on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Then leave it to me." Having said that, Ye Li nodded and walked out of the team.

As the host, TRF Victory Team encountered a little difficulty, because they had not yet decided on the captain, and in this invitational tournament, all five of them wanted to play.

In the end, there was really no other way and everyone could only rely on drawing lots to decide who would perform. Xiao Hao became the final lucky one. He ran out of the team with excitement on his face and came to Lin Che.

"A Che! Looks like we can have a good fight again this time!" Xiao Hao said, rubbing his hands eagerly.

At this time, the track in the stadium, which was originally one of the random tracks for the confrontation between different groups, was also raised. This is a comprehensive technical track with a total length of 800 meters. The most eye-catching part of the track is the 50-meter-long super-high uphill.

As the track rose, the four-wheel-drive fighters who were forced to work overtime also announced the rules of the competition. 24 contestants started at the same time and ran a total of 10 laps.

Soon, all 24 contestants arrived at the starting point. Lin Che activated the switches on the car and sports glasses, and said at the same time: "Light Speed ​​Dragon! Start!"

"Voiceprint matching is successful, Lin Che, access is allowed." A mechanical voice came to Lin Che's ears, and the data of the Light Speed ​​War Dragon appeared on the screen in front of him.

The noise Lin Che made startled Xiao Hao, who was standing beside him. Xiao Hao asked curiously, "What are you doing? Ah Che? What is this?"

"This is the special equipment I prepared for the WGP. Don't get scared later." Lin Che turned and said to Xiao Hao.
