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

Chapter 29: Flying Over the Great Wall (1)

Three days later, Lin Che took his uncle to drive him and Chen Xiaohu to the venue of the main competition, Badaling Scenic Area, early in the morning.

After getting off the bus, Lin Che looked up at one of the eight wonders of mankind not far away, feeling a little emotional. This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had seen the Great Wall.

While Lin Che and Chen Xiaohu were preparing to send their cars for inspection at the vehicle inspection office at the entrance of the scenic area, they also received today's race manual, which introduced the track conditions for today's race.

A total of thirty people, three seeded players from each of the ten districts in Beijing, will participate in this competition. After the vehicle inspection, they will take the cable car to the highest point of the Badaling Great Wall, the North Eighth Floor, where they will start, then go down along the north line, and finally reach the finish line on the North First Floor. The entire course is about 1500 meters. Most of the track is composed of long straight lines up and downhill and several high-speed curves. There are no extremely difficult continuous technical curves. All the players can only change accessories including batteries once on the North Fourth Floor in the middle of the track during the competition.

After seeing the conditions of the track, Lin Che thought about it and decided to replace the Flying War Dragon's gears with the larger gears that he used in the first half of the Super Downhill Race last time to increase some of the torque. Otherwise, the uphill sections of the track would still be too strenuous for the Flying War Dragon.

Coincidentally, while Lin Che was changing gears, Huo Yuesheng also came here with his alien. After looking at the conditions of the track, he frowned.

Although also a super-high-speed car, his alien is not good at handling uphill runways, and compared with the Sky Dragon, the large-diameter wheels he uses are more disadvantaged on uphill runways.

However, Lin Che saw that he just adjusted the gear selection and did not seem to intend to replace the wheel hub.

After the vehicle inspection was completed, the thirty contestants took the cable car to the starting point, and at the same time, a helicopter took off.

"Hello! Dear viewers in front of the TV! The much-anticipated Flying Over the Great Wall Cup Badaling Mini 4WD Race is about to begin! I am today's commentator Brother E!" Lin Che was on the cable car, looking at the commentator wearing the same clothes as the 4WD fighters in the opened door of the helicopter. Holding the microphone, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Do we Chinese also have our own 4WD fighters?

"Before the contestants arrive at the starting point, let's introduce them to you!"

"First up is Huo Yuesheng, the king of mini racing in Beijing, who is well known to everyone. He is also known as the fastest boy in Beijing, and his chariot, the Alien!"

Huo Yuesheng waved towards the camera as a greeting.

"Also, in the HD zone trials, the contestant who won first place is Chen Hewang, who owns the legendary racing Scorpio!"

Hearing this, Lin Che was stunned at first, then he followed the camera to look at a figure in the cable car behind him. It was a very sturdy-looking little fat man, sitting quietly in his seat, holding a white racing car in his hand. After hearing Brother E calling him, he raised his head and greeted the audience. The car in his hand was one of the only two legendary racing cars Scorpio made by the father of mini four-wheel drive cars, Tetsujin Okada. As for the other Scorpio, it is now gathering dust in the hands of the four-wheel drive fighter in Japan.

"So, the captain of the Chinese Xia team in the original novel, Chen Hewang, is also in Beijing?" Lin Che asked in surprise.

"In last year's national competition, contestant Chen Hewang lost to contestant Huo Yuesheng and only got third place. Will he get revenge this time? Let's wait and see!"

Hearing what Brother E said, Huo Yuesheng, who was not far from Lin Che, curled his lips in disdain.

"What happened in last year's national competition? That car is the legendary Scorpio, how could it only come in third place?" Lin Che couldn't help but ask Chen Xiaohu beside him. "I don't know what happened either. Anyway, in the first half, the Scorpio was always in the leading position, but after a section of off-road track, Chen Hewang stopped the car and repaired it for a long time. But from the footage I saw in the broadcast, the Scorpio seemed to have only suffered a minor scratch." Chen Xiaohu said.

Lin Che: ...

So Chen Hewang has developed a problem of not daring to let the car run at full speed because he is afraid of getting hurt? It's outrageous that such a driver can be selected as a representative of the national team.

Brother E introduced several more contestants. These people, including Chen Xiaohu, were regulars at major racing competitions in Beijing and were familiar to everyone.

"In addition to these players, there is a new face this time. His name is Lin Che, and the name of the chariot he owns is very domineering, called Flying War Dragon!" The broadcast camera also aimed at Lin Che at this time.

Lin Che also smiled and waved as a greeting.

"Although Lin Che has no previous record of mini racing in China, we can find his information on the official website of the World Mini Racing Association. He previously won the Winter Championship of the National Championship in Neon, the birthplace of mini racing. He is also a very capable player!"

“Wow, you’re so amazing!” Brother E’s words attracted everyone’s attention to Lin Che. Chen Xiaohu beside Lin Che exclaimed, “You’re actually the national champion of Neon.”

"That competition doesn't count as a national championship." Lin Che explained to Chen Xiaohu, "Neighbor's annual competition system is different from ours. My winter championship is almost equivalent to the champion of the provincial qualifiers of China's national competition."

"That's pretty impressive. After all, you are the champion of the birthplace of mini racing." Chen Xiaohu said.

It can only be said that people of this generation still have some idea that the moon is rounder abroad. Lin Che corrected him by saying, "It's not that exaggerated. The difference in strength between Chinese and Japanese mini racers is actually quite close. Didn't you see that Huo Yuesheng's alien was only a few seconds behind mine a few days ago?"

……

The cable car up the mountain finally brought all thirty runners to the starting point, and everyone set up their bikes at the starting point, waiting to set off.

"This time, let's have a good fight, Neon champion." Huo Yuesheng, who was holding the alien beside Lin Che, suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Lin Che responded with a smile.

"On your marks! Get set! Go!" Brother E announced the start of the race, and thirty racing cars rushed out one after another.
