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

Chapter 313 Gobi Camping (Daily)
Everyone on the training ground also saw Carlo and waved to him. After Lin Che parked the Tai Chi War Dragon, he opened the cockpit cover, took off his helmet, and looked at the Mustang not far from Carlo.

"It looks like there are no special changes. Is it using the variable mode of Tai Chi War Dragon style?" Lin Che asked.

"About the same. The Mustang's independent suspension system makes it easy to add off-road components," Carlo said. "But with six maintenance points over a distance of nearly 1500 kilometers, I always think something will go wrong."

"Is it really okay for you to complain so directly?" Lin Che said.

"What you said, if I don't say that, won't there be any problems with our technical team?" Carlo shrugged. "But fortunately, in this kind of long-distance cross-country race, even if there is any problem with the technical team, the situation will not be particularly troublesome. There is always room for remedy."

Carlo's calmness made Lin Che feel ashamed. In terms of mentality, this guy has been fully trained by his own team. No wonder he was classified as one of the top concept gods of GPX by a group of netizens.

Speaking of the GPX Concept God, it is something that the fun people on the racing forum made when there was no competition. Everyone rated the calm Xiao Hao, Muller who had the support of his teammates, Carlo who was not in a good mood in the crew, and Lin Che who was assisted by Yuri as the four concept gods.

In everyone's opinion, the reckless Xiao Hao, Carlo who is often dragged down by the Maranello Circus, and Muller who is often 1V2 can all achieve the current results. After their problems are solved, it will definitely become even more terrifying. As for the imagination of Lin Che with the assistance of Yuri, it is the curiosity of car fans about the upper limit of Lin Che.

Up to now in the competition, Yuri's title as the top supporter can be said to be a recognized thing by fans of each team. After Yuri joined, Nie Ming's finishing rate can be said to have undergone a qualitative change. As for Lin Che, he still has to clean up Xiao Hao's mess from time to time, and Xiao Hao's support for him can be said to be rare. Therefore, in the eyes of some fans, Lin Che's true strength may be far more than what he has shown now.

The reason why this group of people thought so was mainly because the record that Lin Che had set in the WGP was too dazzling.

Therefore, if Lin Che is paired with a top-level supporter, how strong he can be is also a topic that car fans in the forum often discuss.

While Lin Che was chatting with Carlo, Xiao Hao had already driven the Tornado onto the training ground. He didn't seem to have any intention of chatting with Carlo, mainly because the Tornado's paint job was a colorful patchwork, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Then I won't bother you any more." Seeing this, Carlo waved to everyone and turned to walk towards his own maintenance area.

"Don't you want to stay and take a look?" Lin Che said.

"It's just training, there's no point in watching it." Carlo turned around and said, "For you, it shouldn't be a particularly difficult thing to replicate the off-road mode that Tai Chi War Dragon once had on this CF racing version of the car. As for the whirlwind charge, you have already brought out this form, so it shouldn't be difficult to solve the problem of off-road capability."

"Ah Che! This form of Whirlwind Charge is really powerful! The road with scattered gravel has no effect on the speed!" Xiao Hao's excited voice came from Lin Che's headset, "I thought the speed would not be faster after the chassis was raised!"

After feeling the speed of the Whirlwind Charge at this moment, Xiao Hao's last bit of dissatisfaction with the random paint job disappeared, and now he just wanted to say it was really nice.

"How is that possible? Although the chassis of the Tornado Charge was raised a lot for the off-road section, the downforce lost was compensated by the aerodynamic structure and smart spoiler of the Hurricane Speed. At the same time, the performance improvement brought by other accessories is also true." Lin Che said, "However, the real strength of this car now, I am afraid you will know it after we get close to Changan's maintenance point during the race and adjust the chassis height back. The training ground in Qinghai is built to simulate the style of a no-man's land highway, and there is no track suitable for that state."

"Okay. How about the off-road mode of Tai Chi War Dragon?"

“It looks okay. Apart from the certain loss in speed due to the increased weight caused by the addition of parts, other aspects are basically in line with expectations.” Lin Che, who also drove the car to the training ground, activated the off-road mode of the Tai Chi War Dragon and said after experiencing it for a while.

Today's training was still mainly focused on getting used to the off-road track. Lin Che and Xiao Hao did not consume too much energy on the vehicle. After running a few laps, they took the initiative to end today's training and gave the venue to the next training team.

Behind them was McLaren, with Muller and Lanci each driving a MCL-C01 into the training ground.

"Eh? Aren't you going to use the new car for this race?" Xiao Hao asked curiously.

"There was a minor problem with the C02 in the last race, so it will take some time to adjust. In addition, the design of the C02 has little room for modification, so it is not very suitable for adding off-road equipment." Muller explained, "However, our off-road equipment this time is very powerful, so don't be surprised during the official competition."

"Really? That's really exciting." Lin Che said with a smile, but they had no plans to stay and see, mainly because Fujiyoshi, who had ordered a whole roast lamb banquet, was already urging them.

……

As night fell, the core members of DRS sat around a campfire in the Gobi Desert of the northwest. Although it was midsummer, the Gobi Desert was still chilly at night. Fortunately, the clothes they put on and the hot tea in their hands perfectly resisted it. At the same time, the aroma of oil and spices in the air was very charming.

"I really don't know why we have to come so far to have dinner. This place is about 50 or 60 kilometers away from where we live." Huo Yuesheng complained while separating roasted lamb by the campfire.

"This was recommended to me by the locals," said Fujiyoshi. In this Gobi Desert, he rarely left his exclusive car. Sitting on the picnic mat, he looked like a mountain, chewing a lamb chop in one hand while saying, "This kind of roast lamb is perfect in this atmosphere."

"Come to think of it, China is really big. We have never seen this kind of scenery before." Xiao Lie said at this time. Even though he had been to China many times before, he had basically been traveling around the eastern coastal areas. After seeing the vast Gobi Desert for the first time, he couldn't help but feel deeply shocked.

"Not to mention you, even we are here for the first time." Chen Hewang said.

"I have been to similar places in the past few years, but the experience was not so pleasant," Chen Xiaohu said at this time.

After he finished saying this, everyone looked at him, even Lin Che and the others. After Chen Xiaohu entered the military academy a few years ago, it was basically the same as if he had disappeared to them.

"Hey, don't mention it." Chen Xiaohu was speechless when he thought of this experience. "Didn't we go to a place similar to this place for an exercise before? At first I thought I could show my skills. I was so uncomfortable sitting in the troop carrier all the way. As a result, before we had even assembled at the place, the directorate notified me that my company had been hit by a tactical attack, and then we went back to where we came from."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed unkindly.

Soon, the two sheep were basically eaten by everyone. Since everyone brought their tents with them, they had no intention of driving back to the hotel. However, at this time, everyone felt a little bored. "It's almost time, it's time to start our traditional activities." Huo Yuesheng hammered his palm and said.

"Can we not?" Xiao Lie and Ying Yulong twitched their lips. They had held such camping parties many times since they were young, and everyone knew what the traditional activities Huo Yuesheng was talking about.

"No way, after so many years you two are not still afraid of ghosts!" Chen Hewang said with a smile.

"How is that possible!" Xiao Lie and Ying Yulong immediately denied it stubbornly.

"Then let me go first this time?" Gao Xiaoman said at this time.

"Why don't we let Fujiyoshi do it..." Xiaolie said, "Or Xiaohao will do the same."

The main reason why Xiao Lie said this is because the ghost stories told by these Chinese people are really scary. If Fujiyoshi or Xiao Hao were to tell them, they would only tell some traditional ghosts, urban legends and the like. After so many years, the two of them have more or less developed some resistance. However, the ghost stories told by these Chinese people may sound ordinary at first glance, but they can make people shudder when they think about them carefully.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoman's ghost stories are the most interesting!" Jenna also applauded.

"Since we are in the Gobi Desert, let me tell you a story I once heard about the explorers who went deep into this place decades ago." Gao Xiaoman cleared her throat and made her expression serious.

Here it comes, why do these Chinese people like to tell ghost stories to suit the situation?

Xiao Lie and Ying Yulong's scalps were already starting to feel numb.

……

"After everything was settled, although they went through a lot of trouble this time, they all returned home safely in the end."

"Three months later, when Captain Wang had begun to slowly forget what happened that night, he suddenly discovered that the team members who had once gone deep into the Gobi Desert with him seemed to have changed their personalities and would do some strange things in the middle of the night. Captain Wang didn't dare to think too much about it. He just wanted to forget what happened that night as soon as possible."

"However, one night when he came home late because his friend invited him to drink, he went to the sink as usual, ready to wash his face before going to bed, but in the mirror in front of him, he saw a woman's face with tears of blood..."

Gao Xiaoman's story came to an abrupt end, and the next second, Xiao Lie and Ying Yulong fell down together.

"Not bad, they both actually insisted on listening to the end this time. I thought they would faint from fright after the tomb exploration part." Seeing this, Xiao Hao reached out and checked the breath of the two people. After confirming that there was no big problem, he said with glee.

"Hehe, this time my brother was more powerful. Your brother was the one who fainted first." Jiromaru said at this time. It can be seen that after growing up, he and Yingyulong don't seem to be so respectful to each other as brothers.

"No way! It was obviously your brother who was frightened and fainted first!" Xiao Hao said unconvinced.

The two soon started arguing about whose brother was frightened and fainted first. It seemed that no matter how much time had passed, they would still argue for some strange reasons.

"By the way, how is Xiaoyou doing recently?" After telling the ghost story, everyone naturally thought of their ghost friends.

"What else can I do? I'd better hang out with Hao Shu." Lin Che said.

When Lin Che retired from WGP and Hao Shu joined the second generation TRF Victory Team, Lin Che had thought about bringing the car that Xiao You and he were living on back to China, but what Lin Che did not expect was that Xiao You said that he was very happy to be with Hao Shu, so he rejected Lin Che's invitation.

And now, Hao Shu is in college, and the two are still inseparable.

However, Hao Shu's optimistic and delicate personality makes him very comfortable to get along with as a friend, and even the ghost Xiao You can't refuse him.

"Come to think of it, I really miss the food cooked by Hao Shu." Huo Yuesheng smacked his lips. The best time for them to eat in the two WGPs they participated in was the second half of the first WGP, when Hao Shu came to stay at Lin Che's research institute. As for the second WGP, they went to the United States and had to go back to eating those nutritious but extremely unpalatable dishes prepared by the nutritionist at that time. Therefore, everyone had a filter about Hao Shu's cooking skills.

After everyone chatted for a while, the two people who were frightened and fainted slowly woke up. Chen Hewang added a few more firewood to the campfire: "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed. We still have training tomorrow."

"That's true. Let's go to bed first." Lin Che nodded and took Jenna into the tent.

With the first start, everyone went back to rest one after another, and the night in the Gobi Desert passed.

……

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the day of the qualifying round to determine the starting order.

After several less successful qualifying races, GPX officials introduced a new rule, that is, in the qualifying race, the team that gets the pole position can not only start first in the race, but also get an extra 10 points.

Don't underestimate these ten points. The tenth place in the main race only has 2 points. Moreover, judging by the fierce competition in the championship zone of the current standings, ten points may play a key role in deciding who will be the champion of the season. Therefore, in this qualifying race, even DRS and Mercedes, who usually like to conserve their strength, are ready to show some real strength.
