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

Chapter 218: Summer Tournament with All the Best
"Hold the trophy, Chinese Dragon! Raise this championship trophy that belongs to you!" Amid the shouts, he raised the championship trophy representing the WGP Mid-Season Championship.

Warm cheers suddenly rang out over the Fuji Lake Circuit.

Amid the cheers, Michael, who had been standing at the finish line for a long time, looked down at his Iron Wolf with confusion in his eyes.

"Captain." Ye Li reminded at this time.

"Huh?" Michael turned his head. At this moment, his teammates also saw the confusion in his eyes.

In the impression of Ye Li and others, their captain has never shown such an expression. Even when the team was just formed and everyone was not familiar with the cooperation, and sometimes mistakes would ruin the game, Michael always looked like he had everything under control.

"Captain..." Hugh was a little worried, but before he could finish his words, Michael shook his head.

"I'm fine." Michael said, parked his car and walked towards the rest area.

……

After finishing the celebratory banquet and returning to the research institute with the trophy, Lin Che lay on the bed, entered the system space for the first time in a long time, and checked the courses he had obtained.

I have to say that this course called "Aerodynamics Mastery" is really useful. After just one night of study, Lin Che has gained a lot of new understanding of the half-understood information about aerodynamic chassis that Dr. Ichimonji gave him before.

After that, Lin Che spent every night sleeping in the system space.

Although the learning progress was slow, Lin Che calculated that if he could maintain this learning efficiency, he should be able to complete the study before the remaining group matches were over and get the same fan as Asrada as a reward.

On the other hand, after the Mid-Season Championship ended, the group stage started again.

With the momentum of winning the championship, the Huaxia War Dragon team easily defeated the Egyptian team in the cross-group competition, adding another victory.

In contrast, the German team, which only won second place, suffered a setback when facing the Tanzanian team.

This game was a relay race held in Hokkaido. In the first four legs, the other players on the German team suppressed their opponents. When the baton was passed to Michael, the German team still had a 7-second advantage. However, Okita Kai and the Spider King completed a reversal in the last leg, and Michael's performance did not have the demeanor of the European mini racing nobleman in the past.

"That guy seems to have some mental problems." said Lin Che, who watched the entire game.

"That's right. The way the Iron Wolf ran in this game included a lot of low-level mistakes. It was not like him at all," Huo Yuesheng said.

On the other hand, the Italian team broke a big news. Their sponsor ran away, which forced them to give up this week's game. The South African team won the game in this way.

However, just when the outside world was speculating that the Italian team would withdraw directly, the legendary Italian car company, Ferrari, strongly announced its entry into WGP and became the new sponsor of the Italian team.

The Italian team's name was also changed to Ferrari Italia.

The first thing Ferrari did after taking office was to fire all the team members except Carlo, and brought in four talented Italian children to form this new team. At the same time, their new car will also debut in the next race.

Almost all mini racing enthusiasts around the world are looking forward to this. After all, this is the legendary team in the F1 arena, Ferrari.

However, a little accident happened on the TRF Victory Team's side. When facing the Russian team, Xiao Lie wanted to turn the situation around when Xiao Hao and Fujiyoshi were targeted and performed poorly. However, he broke his leg due to being too impatient and became the first player to be injured in this tournament. However, he won the game thanks to his desperate efforts.

The next day, Lin Che also carried some things and went to the hospital to visit.

After arriving at the hospital, Lin Che saw Xiao Lie lying on the bed with a bitter face, and his injured foot was wrapped in a thick plaster.

After Lin Che put down the gift he brought, he saw that Xiao Lie was still busy with his team's training plan even though he was injured, and he couldn't help but remind him: "Don't work so hard on yourself if you're injured."

"I've also looked at your upcoming schedule. The opponents aren't considered strong teams. Even if you're not here, Xiao Hao and the others will be able to win."

Xiao Lie was still a little worried. "How can we be completely assured? Our current points are not enough to stably qualify. The American team ahead is very strong, and the Italian and Tanzanian teams behind are also eyeing us covetously. So, we have to be careful in every game."

"But you are injured now, aren't you?" Lin Che said, "Trust your teammates."

To be honest, although only four people can play after Xiao Lie was injured, as long as they don’t face too strong opponents, they can still guarantee the winning rate by relying on Xiao Hao.

First of all, they are playing at home, so they will still have some preferential treatment in this regard. At least the official will not arrange a relay race for them that requires five players to complete the race when they compete against different groups.

When competing against the same group, even if they go to the other team's home court, it is estimated that except for the Korean team, other teams will not take advantage of the opponent's misfortune and force a relay race. In international schools, everyone sees each other every day and everyone has to save face.

"By the way, didn't you say before that you were planning to design a new car?" Lin Che said, "You said before that you didn't have time, but now you have time. Our competition with you will be in 9 weeks. By then, your legs should have recovered. I hope that by then, I can have a good competition with your new car."

"A new car?" Xiao Lie was somewhat tempted by what Lin Che said, and nodded immediately, "Okay, my new car will not disappoint you."

“Ah Che?” The door of the ward was pushed open, and J walked in with a stack of information. After seeing Lin Che, J said in surprise, “I was planning to go find you after I delivered our training plan to Xiao Lie, but I didn’t expect you to come here first?”

"Looking for me?" Lin Che asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. After the Mid-Season Championship, all teams basically started researching fully automatic toolboxes for quick parts replacement. I heard that after Ferrari joined the Italian team, they directly produced a finished product. Their toolbox can replace all parts within 10 seconds. This can directly create a huge advantage on long-distance tracks where parts need to be replaced."

"But if we want to study this, it seems we can only cooperate with you," said J.

"Is it because our two teams are the only two among the 24 participating teams that do not use standard racing cars?" Lin Che said.

"That's right." J nodded. "Although the technical content of this thing is not high, if it is developed independently, it will always be slower than those teams that develop it together. And if we are unlucky and encounter a long-distance track during this time difference, it will be terrible."

"I understand. Come to my research institute tomorrow. Yuesheng is usually in charge of this kind of thing. Besides, he knows more about mechanical matters than I do."

Huo Yuesheng's grandfather was one of the first eighth-level workers in China, so he learned a lot from him since he was a child. Although his grandfather didn't have as advanced a manual milling machine as Kurosawa's, some of the things in the team that required fine manual polishing were usually assigned to him.

After making an appointment with J, Lin Che returned to the research institute. But as soon as he got back, he found Xiao Hao, Nie Ming, and Huo Yuesheng gathered together to study something, while Hao Shu kept nodding beside them.

"You all made appointments to come today, right?" Lin Che said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "If I hadn't run into J by chance in the hospital before, I guess J would have arrived at the institute by now."

"A Che, you're back." Xiao Hao greeted Lin Che with a smile, then took out a neon summer season poster.

"The Super Cup officials came to me yesterday and invited us World Cup players to participate in the summer season." Xiao Hao said excitedly, "Nie Ming and Yue Sheng are both planning to go."

"No, why are you joining in the fun of this summer season?" Lin Che looked at the three of them with some confusion.

"Teacher Tie Xin came to invite us personally. He said that if we World Cup players participate, we can also encourage other contestants." Xiao Hao said.

"So what kind of cars are you going to use to participate in this competition?" Lin Che said helplessly, "Your cars are all super racing cars. Even if you remove the GP chip, the other parts are still over the standard for the Super Cup. They can't let you pass the vehicle inspection."

"Hehe, I've already thought about this problem!" Xiao Hao said proudly, "I asked Dr. Tsuchiya for a few samples of the second-generation Ares 600 and Ares V that will be released in two months. We agreed to use these to transform a new car for the competition."

Lin Che: ...

So you've even considered this.

"By the way, Ah Che, do you want to participate?" Xiao Hao said, "The Super Cup officials specially set the summer game date on the rest day of the World Cup every week, so it won't delay our game."

"By the way, Ah Che, Sister Jenna said she will participate in this competition." Nie Ming suddenly interrupted, "Also, she said she hopes you can also participate, just for fun."

Lin Che: ...

"Okay, I'll go." Since the girl has taken the initiative to invite him, Lin Che will just go and relax.

When Nie Ming heard Lin Che's agreement, he immediately smiled with a successful plan, and thought to himself, "Okay! When I go back, I'll tell Sister Zhenna that it was Ah Che who invited her to participate. Sister Zhenna, this is all I can do to help you!"

Even he only heard about this when he came to play with Xiao Hao today. How could Jenna know that Japan’s official competition would invite World Cup players like them?

"Well, A'che, this is for you." Xiao Hao said, handing Lin Che a box of food from the backpack he brought.

"I don't need it. The flying dragon can still run." Lin Che said.

"If you ask me, why don't we just ask people from other teams when we go to school tomorrow?" Huo Yuesheng suddenly suggested.

"Good idea! It would be great if everyone could experience the unique features of our Japanese competition!" Xiao Hao said excitedly, hammering his palm.

Lin Che: ...

Suddenly I wanted to observe a moment of silence for the other players in this summer season. What should I do? It’s bad enough that the World Cup players came out to fry fish, but they also came in a group.

The next morning, Xiao Hao, Huo Yuesheng and Nie Ming went to ask about each team one by one.

First was the Tanzanian team. Okita Kai, last year's summer championship champion, clearly refused, but the four girls were very interested in it and said they wanted to experience the path their captain had taken. After some arguing, Julian finally beat the other four teammates and grabbed a spot in the competition.

The Spanish team's captain Casillas is also very interested in Japan's mini racing environment. After all, their team has two Japanese players.

Benzema of the French team also came up and planned to take a look, but was dragged back by the Turkish order.

Kofi from the South African team and Abdul from the Saudi team also accepted Xiao Hao's invitation.

After seeing so many people, Brett also became interested and took a registration form and a box car back home.

On the German team, Michael politely declined Xiao Hao's invitation. However, after Xiao Hao left, Lin Che found him.

"I think you should try to participate in this competition. Maybe it will help you solve the difficulties you are facing now." Lin Che said.

Lin Che discovered during their match against Tanzania that day that there might really be something wrong between Michael and his car soul.

Michael's way of getting along with the Soul of the Car was indeed effective, but this was also based on the premise that he had always won before.

After losing to Lin Che in the Central Championship Cup, his car soul seemed to no longer completely obey Michael's orders in the game.

This is easy to understand. For his car soul, Michael was able to win all the time before, and the giant wolf could withstand Michael's high pressure, but now you have lost, why are you still so proud?

Therefore, the most important thing for him now is to rebuild mutual trust with the Soul of the Car.

"Really?" Michael thought about it and nodded, "I will go."

……

In the end, when Xiao Hao brought a team of 20 people to the registration point for the Super Cup, the Super Cup officials were stunned.

Originally, they only planned to invite Xiao Hao to participate in the competition so that it could serve as a publicity gimmick for the Super Cup, but they didn't expect that Xiao Hao would give them such a big job.

But since everyone is here, we can’t just turn them away.

In the end, the Super Cup officials could only emphasize once again that super racing cars and parts that exceed specifications could not be used, and then accepted the registration of this group of World Cup players.
