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

Chapter 279 When Nie Ming and Xiao Hao were isolated

In the first two laps, Lin Che showed astonishing control. With the help of Yuri, Nie Ming tried to overtake the Tai Chi War Dragon several times, but Lin Che easily resolved them one by one with his excellent cornering and blocking abilities. Nie Ming in the Aurora was anxious but he had no way to deal with Lin Che.

Moreover, Lin Che was not in a hurry to speed up and completely establish his leading position. Instead, he maintained a steady rhythm and stayed in the first place. This made Nie Ming, who usually rushed forward with Xiao Hao, extremely uncomfortable. Lin Che's running style was such that he disgusted several people.

Having got the pole position, there is naturally a way to run. Lin Che's choice of slowing down the pace at this moment is to leave enough acceleration time for the Tornado Charge. In this kind of short-lap and long-distance race, the instantaneous burst of the thrusters can allow the vehicle to quickly recover its speed after exiting the corner, but after a long time, it is a huge test for energy and tire wear. Therefore, if this race wants to catch up with Ferrari in the standings, the performance of the Tornado Charge with a faster extreme speed is the key.

"After Lin Che got the pole position today, he used a completely different tactic from before," said Li Bing. "This tactic made the drivers behind him very uncomfortable. We can see that Aurora's several attempts to overtake in the corners were blocked by Taiji Zhanlong at the exit position and ended in failure."

"But this kind of running style is too stressful for him, after all, he has to defend against four cars at the moment." Brother Fei said, "The Tornado Charge is still speeding up, and it looks like it won't help him in the short term. Also, if he runs like this, his tires will wear out a lot, and his first pit stop will be much earlier."

“Xiao Hao, don’t rush to catch up. Keep up the pace and speed up slowly.” Silver reported the current situation of Tornado Charge to Lin Che. Seeing that the boy seemed to be planning to speed up and come to help him, Lin Che reminded him in the team voice chat. At the same time, he also said to Magnum, “Magnum, I’m going to pit on the ninth lap. Help Xiao Hao plan the acceleration rhythm so that he can take over my position after I pit.”

"Understood." Magnum replied, and soon, a new set of instructions was generated on the screen inside the Tornado Charge.

"Is he planning to control the pace of the game? That's fine." Michael, who was following Xiao Hao leisurely, smiled after seeing Lin Che's running style, "If they burst out and speed up at the beginning, it will take some effort for us to catch up later, but now, just run at your own pace."

Carlo and Okita Kai also had the same idea in mind and began to steadily accelerate along with the rhythm of the whirlwind charge.

Silver, who was monitoring his opponent in real time, saw this and reported his opponent's behavior to Lin Che.

"Xiao Hao, it looks like you'll have to deal with them alone for a while." Lin Che said with a smile.

Lin Che was not too worried about whether Xiao Hao could cope with the siege of Carlo, Michael and others. After installing an intelligent spoiler similar to that of the Evolver, although the burst speed of the Cyclone Charge did not increase much, its consumption during acceleration was the lowest among all the racing cars, especially in this steady and slow acceleration. Moreover, the maximum speed of the Cyclone Charge was also the top among all the CF racing cars. After reaching the maximum speed with the least consumption, the Cyclone Charge still had sufficient fault tolerance to deal with Carlo and others.

“But before that, I have to drag the most troublesome one into the maintenance area.” Lin Che thought, glancing at the Aurora on the rearview screen that was still trying to overtake him.

It has to be said that Lin Che's way of running is really mentally challenging. Among the four cars in the first echelon except the Tai Chi War Dragon, only Yuri is still restrained, simply following behind and providing a little help to Nie Ming from time to time. The other three cars now only want to quickly overtake the Tai Chi War Dragon and get out of Lin Che's control.

However, Lin Che's defense was flawless, and before they knew it, the tires of several people had been worn out to the point where they had to enter the maintenance area.

In Lin Che's eyes, Xiao Hao's most troublesome opponents are not Michael and Carlo. This can be seen from the previous WGP competitions. As the trump card of the TRF Victory Team, Xiao Hao has won and lost against the two of them. But Nie Ming is different. When these two people get together in the game, it is like dry firewood and fierce competition. Once they compete, any tactics and rhythm will lose their effect, and the game will develop uncontrollably towards chaos.

Therefore, when it was determined that Xiao Hao would be the main C in this game, the first thing Lin Che thought of was to find a way to isolate Nie Ming from his sight.

So far, the plan seems to be successful.

After the ninth lap, Tai Chi War Dragon turned into the maintenance area, and the Tornado Charge, which had just accelerated, also caught up. The other cars in the first echelon had planned to speed up and pull away while Lin Che was changing tires, but their respective AIs sent warnings of severe tire wear, so they had no choice but to follow Tai Chi War Dragon into the maintenance area. Only Yuri could continue running.

After arriving at the maintenance area, Huo Yuesheng and Chen Hewang led the technicians to wait there for a long time. They quickly helped Tai Chi War Dragon complete the tire change. Then, Lin Che was the first to rush out of the maintenance area. While he was changing the tire, eight cars from behind overtook him one after another. After returning to the track, Lin Che directly turned on the thrusters, and Tai Chi War Dragon instantly began to accelerate violently and chased forward.

USCF's No. 1 car, currently ranked eighth, saw Lin Che's intention to accelerate and wanted to imitate Lin Che's previous operation to stop Lin Che, but this guy's skills were indeed not up to par and his defense was full of loopholes. Lin Che made a lifting turn and briefly turned on the thrusters at the moment of exiting the corner, which resulted in a burst of energy and left him behind.

After overtaking two cars in succession, Lin Che came behind Okita Kai's Tianma. Okita Kai and Carlo had not separated yet. The two of them occupied the best line, one in front and one behind. Seeing this, Lin Che simply followed behind them, intending to wait until they entered the maintenance area.

"After changing its tires, Tai Chi Zhanlong surpassed two cars. Facing the defense of Ferrari, Lin Che did not act rashly." Li Bing said, "However, they should also need to change tires soon, so there is no need to rush."

Afterwards, after changing the tire, Nie Ming quickly overtook two cars in succession like Lin Che and came behind Tai Chi War Dragon.

The USCF No. 1 driver and the McLaren team's No. driver were very unwilling to be overtaken, but there was nothing they could do. Although they were the mainstays of the F arena before, after entering the GPX era, the gap between them and these true geniuses was magnified several times. No matter whether it was Lin Che or Nie Ming, overtaking their cars was like a piece of cake.

Moreover, although the guidance program of the Zero Realm has become popular after the Xiamen station, and although they have gained something under the guidance of this program, they are still a long way from truly entering that realm.

When Lin Che saw Nie Ming coming, he took the initiative to give up half a body position. When Nie Ming saw the opportunity to surpass Lin Che, he rushed up without thinking. However, as soon as he landed, he found that the blockade of the two big brothers in front seemed to be even tighter than the Taiji War Dragon just now. Nie Ming could still see some opportunities in the defense of the Taiji War Dragon, but he was blocked by Lin Che's defense every time. This time, the defense of the two Tianma cars made him unable to see any flaws.

"Ah! It's so annoying!" Nie Ming, who had been feeling disgusted since the beginning, was almost flushed. This feeling of not being able to use his strength was really a torture for a sprinter.

"Nie Ming, calm down." Yuri said in the voice chat, "The leading cars will go to the maintenance area soon. Seize this opportunity."

"Of course I know." Nie Ming said, "But this guy is here too."

After saying that, Nie Ming glanced at the Tai Chi War Dragon who was keeping pace with him and gritted his teeth. The others went to change tires, but this guy had just changed a tire with him.

On the thirteenth lap, the leading cars chose to enter the maintenance area and began the first tire change. The moment the two Pegasus cars in front turned into the road leading to the maintenance area, Nie Ming immediately activated the blizzard thrusters, trying to take this opportunity to get rid of Lin Che, but Lin Che pushed down the thruster gear lever at the same time as him.

The thrusters of the two cars were working at the same time, accelerating violently on the left and right sides of the track. This could be said to be a wonderful scene of a mid-gate confrontation, which caused the audience to scream continuously.

"Nie Ming intends to seize this opportunity to get rid of Lin Che, but Lin Che is not someone to be trifled with. If two thruster racing cars explode at the same time, who will win?" Brother Fei said passionately.

"The speeds of the two cars are similar, but the next turn is right! Tai Chi War Dragon is now on the right, and it has a natural advantage in occupying the inner lane. When Lin Che and the Aurora were stopped by two Pegasus cars before, he never gave up the right lane. Was this within his expectations?"

At the moment of entering the turn, the thrusters of the two cars were shut down at the same time. However, the Tai Chi War Dragon, which occupied the inner lane, exited the turn earlier than the Aurora, which needed to run a longer distance. The half position that Lin Che had given up before was directly taken back, and the Tai Chi War Dragon once again completed the blockade of the Aurora.

However, this time, Nie Ming had even fewer opportunities than before! After all, Tai Chi War Dragon had to block four cars before, but now Lin Che only had to defend him alone.

"Excellent!" Li Bing could not help but praise loudly upon seeing this. "This round of confrontation between the two did not involve any thrilling high-end operations, but Lin Che relied on his advanced prediction to completely grasp Nie Ming's mind."

"Damn it!" Nie Ming didn't realize something was wrong until the moment before turning the corner, but it was obviously too late. He had already fallen into the trap set by Lin Che.

"Nie Ming, maintain this position and don't try to overtake again. Wait until the next round of tire change before looking for an opportunity." Seeing this, Vatanen could only remind him, but he was also a little helpless. Nie Ming's driving skills were not very different from Lin Che's, but in terms of control over the overall situation, as a striker, there was indeed an insurmountable gap between him and Lin Che, who played tactics. This game had unknowingly fallen into the rhythm set by Lin Che before the game.

After changing the tires, Tornado Charge entered the rhythm of acceleration again. With the experience of the previous round, Xiao Hao this time accelerated directly according to the rhythm calculated in advance by Magnum and Silver. The twenty-year-old Xiao Hao was much more mature than the ten-year-old Xiao Hao. At least when no one stimulated him, he would still run according to tactics.

Only this time, Michael, Carlo, and Yuri all pressed the Whirlwind Charge a little harder.

"So many people? Then come on." Xiao Hao licked his lips as he looked at the lively scene on the rearview screen, but he was not in a hurry to distance himself from them. Instead, he just kept the rhythm, intending to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. He did not intend to make any move before Michael and the others made their move.

"Is this kid so calm after separating from Nie Ming?" Tu Fangling in the back cursed inwardly. Maybe it was because Xiao Hao had been in head-on confrontation with Nie Ming in the previous four games, so when Xiao Hao showed his calm side, everyone found it incredible.

"This is what a driver who can set a record for the F2 season championship should be like. It's really getting more and more fun." Michael said with a smile.

On the other hand, logically speaking, Nie Ming should have been like this without Xiao Hao's stimulation, but Lin Che had been disgusting him and constantly provoking Nie Ming's nerves since the beginning. However, after seeing that Nie Ming no longer had the intention to overtake, Lin Che understood that if he wanted to make this guy completely lose control, he had to let Xiao Hao do it.

The situation was at a stalemate. Except for Hijikata Rei and Okita Kai who each tried to test Xiao Hao, but were resolved by Xiao Hao, the first few cars on the scene maintained the current rhythm and reached the 24th lap.

After receiving the warning from the AI, Tai Chi War Dragon and Aurora turned into the maintenance area to change tires, and Tornado Charge took control of the first position again.

"We can see that the first position in this race was firmly controlled by DRS. The tactics formulated by Lin Che after getting the pole position have begun to show results." Li Bing said with a smile.

However, after Tai Chi War Dragon entered the maintenance area, Tianma and AMG-01 also began to accelerate and launched an offensive against Tornado Charge.

"Faced with the attacks of the two cars, Xing Ma Hao was extremely calm. He was like an emotionless machine in choosing his position for two consecutive turns. He perfectly resolved the attacks of the two and kept the first place. It seems that unless the two enter the Zero Realm now, they will not be able to do anything to Xing Ma Hao and his Whirlwind Charge."
