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

Chapter 335: Qualifying Round, Begins (2)

On the day of the qualifying race, the first thing car fans saw when they entered Li Bing’s live broadcast room was a huge video conference interface.

"Everyone, can you hear me?" The voice of Li Bing, the person in charge of the meeting, rang out. The video conference suddenly became chaotic. Answers in various languages ​​continued to sound, and subtitles of simultaneous interpretation also appeared at the bottom of the live broadcast room.

"OKOK, it seems there is no problem." Li Bing said after checking the subtitles.

"Everyone in the audience should be very curious about who is participating in this video conference," Li Bing glanced at the barrage of curiosity that was about to overflow the screen, and after a slight pause, he said, "I won't keep you in suspense. The participants of this video conference are all former famous WGP drivers. In other words, they are teammates and opponents of the current top GPX drivers. Today, we invited them to watch this qualifying race together."

"Because there are so many people, we adopted this mode for the audience's viewing experience," Li Bing said in the conference channel after introducing the participants. "If you want to say something, just line up and go on the microphone. At the same time, we also asked the players which team or player they support before the game, and simply divided the players into different groups."

Soon, Li Bing divided everyone in the meeting into groups. Among the nearly 50 people, 16 supported DRS, 13 supported Mercedes, 11 supported Ferrari, and 15 supported Arctic Fox.

After the grouping was announced, things became lively at Mercedes. An avatar asking for microphone application lit up instantly, and Li Bing asked him to start speaking.

The person who took the microphone was a black guy who looked like a Ninja Turtle. He was quite emotional and said in French: "Benzema, you actually went to support Ferrari? Don't you know that our former captain now plays for Ferrari's arch-rival Mercedes?"

"Well, it seems that the former teammates have some disagreements on which team to support." Li Bing said, and pulled Benzema to the microphone. "Does Benzema want to explain?"

"I definitely have something to say about this." Benzema immediately said after entering the microphone, "I have always had a French dream."

"You are a Frenchman, what kind of French dream do you have?" Mbappe immediately exposed his former teammate's little thoughts, "I think you are going for Ferrari and those former players of Okita Kai!"

"Everyone is watching! He is slandering me!" Although his little thoughts were directly exposed, Benzema certainly could not admit it, and immediately jumped up.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Li Bing, who was in control, simply turned off the microphones of the two people.

"Let's see what other players think." Li Bing pulled someone from the DRS supporters to the microphone.

The situation on the DRS side is rather special. Lin Che and Xiao Hao's former teammates are now in the crew of this team and naturally have no time to participate in this commentary activity. So the sixteen people who support DRS now are all Lin Che's former connections.

"Hello everyone." After Casillas was pulled onto the microphone, he greeted the audience.

"Welcome to China after traveling thousands of miles." Li Bing said. Among all the commentators today, Casillas's value can be said to be the highest. In Spain, as a super bullfighter who has won all the honors in the field of bullfighting, Casillas can be said to be the dream lover of all the girls there. "Can you tell me why you support DRS?"

"Of course it's because of Kurosawa and Kondo," Casillas said.

"What about Margaret?" Li Bing asked another DRS supporter, "Logically, you should support the Arctic Foxes, where your former teammate and coach is."

"I'd rather support my sister's boyfriend than those two idiots." A brown-haired Nordic girl appeared on the screen. "Besides, I know Nie Ming too well. We can't expect too much from this guy, otherwise he will definitely give his supporters a big slap."

"Well, it seems to be true." Li Bing was also a little amused. Nie Ming's bold and passionate running style could naturally attract a lot of fans. It was an absolute superstar running style. His and Xiao Hao's solos in every game became the part that everyone looked forward to in this season of the GPX event. However, Nie Ming's running style was a bit too exciting for the fans who supported him.

When you think he is capable, he will often give you something big, but if no one is optimistic about him, he can suddenly stand up.

Now even underground gambling companies dare not open Nie Ming’s platform.

Li Bing then chatted with several guests for a while, and then the qualifying round officially began.

"Q1 has already begun. The four teams that still have hope of winning the championship are not in a hurry to set off. At this time, even Nie Ming, who is usually the most reckless, has calmed down."

"I don't think he can stay calm for long." At this time, Balokli jumped out and said, "It's good enough for this guy to last until Q2."

After all the teams that had been confirmed to be unable to compete for the championship had set off, Nie Ming's Aurora II became the first team to set off, and he began to explode right after the start, with his lap time reaching first place in a short period of time.

"I told you, this kid can't help himself." Balokli said immediately, "Now it depends on when he gives up. What about Xing Mahao? Nie Ming has already started, so you should also work harder."

"No, do you hate them so much?" Miller, one of the latest batch of astronauts from the Chinese Space Agency who also participated in the commentary, was shocked. "Is it because they ruined your dream of becoming champions? But I remember that fight in the second final that got you four eliminated was initiated by you."

After hearing this, the entire video conference was suddenly plunged into a sea of ​​joy.

In the second round of the final of the second WGP, four players who were known as the four sprinters at the time and who drove super-fast cars engaged in an epic battle that has been recorded and repeatedly used in WGP promotional videos to this day. Although the outcome of this melee was the annihilation of the four sprinters, the excitement of this confrontation is enough to rank among the top five even in the entire history of WGP.

However, what Miller said was not wrong. The beginning of the melee was initiated by Balokli when the team was in trouble. He originally planned to bring Xiao Hao to muddy the water on the situation, but Nie Ming joined in directly. In the end, when there were three people missing one, Huo Yuesheng did not miss it.

The consequence of this melee was that in that game, both the Italian team and the Norwegian team lost the possibility of competing for the final championship.

"If Xing Mahao didn't come to join in the fun, I could have won that wave!" Balokli said stubbornly.

"How about we review the situation later and see who was at fault in that wave?" Margaret suggested. "Let's review it!" Baroqueli said. No matter what, we must not lose the momentum.

"The rest of the people also set off one after another." Li Bing then brought the topic back to the competition.

"Although the teams competing for the championship are deliberately keeping a distance from their opponents, in terms of lap time, the teams that started earlier have been overtaken by them in a short period of time," said Li Bing.

"USCF ranks last again this time? Do the Americans in the channel have anything to say?" At this time, Balokli popped up and said, wishing for chaos in the world.

"The two USCF drivers, one from Kansas and the other from Indiana, and I, a Texan, would like to say we don't want to take the blame," Hama said.

"Cut it already?" Balokli asked in surprise.

"It's useless for you to tell us this. Our Chinese ID cards are almost ready, and all the Americans in the channel will be Chinese in a short while." Miller added.

"I understand. If I were to go through the same thing as you, I would have gone through the same thing as you." The British man Arthur said at this time.

"Uh, guys. This is a live broadcast. Please control yourselves." Li Bing felt a bit overwhelmed. As expected, with so many men gathered together, if the topic was not controlled, the conversation would turn to this topic.

After the Q1 race, at the strong request of the players and the audience in the live broadcast room, Li Bing had no choice but to open the video recording of the second WGP Finals and found the part where the top four sprinters competed against each other.

It has to be said that although Baroqueli was tough in words, his language logic was impeccable, and he quickly cleared himself of the responsibility for being eliminated.

"That's what I told you. This wave of problems is caused by these three people." Balokli said at this time.

"It seems to be correct." Abdul was somewhat persuaded.

"Stop talking nonsense. To be honest, the four of you are war criminals who disrupted the team's tactical arrangements." Val said at this time. He was the only captain of the four people at the time, and he immediately revealed the essence of the matter.

"Besides, your statement alone doesn't seem to be convincing. Now that the three of them are not here, you can say whatever you want." At this time, Kofi, the former captain of the South African team, stood up to disrupt the situation.

Everyone realized then, isn't this video about catching war criminals? How come it has become a whitewashing meeting for this guy?

"Isn't Lin Che trying his best? With this lap time, if Red Bull gets more aggressive, he won't even be able to make it to Q3, right?" Casillas brought the topic back to the race itself.

After the start of Q2, Lin Che also maintained the tactics of the first round and was not in a hurry to start. Moreover, after everyone's lap time ranking gradually stabilized, he was also the first to drive the car back to the maintenance area.

Casillas's estimation turned out to be correct. After Lin Che took the initiative to return to the maintenance area, Kevin and Muller seized the opportunity and squeezed the performance of the car hard, making their lap time surpass that of Lin Che. The Raptor was unfortunately eliminated in eleventh place and did not enter Q3.

"What's going on? Did that guy make a wrong judgment?" Vladimir from the Russian team asked in surprise.

"What misjudgment? He obviously wanted to show off, but failed." Balokli said.

"I feel like he did it on purpose," Casillas said hesitantly. "After all, the lap time difference he gave before he voluntarily retired was a bit too ambiguous. Red Bull could have overtaken him with just a little more effort."

"It's possible," Val agreed. "After all, if they enter Q3, their starting configuration for tomorrow's race will be exposed. If they have prepared a secret weapon, it would not be worthwhile to expose it now."

"But the first place in qualifying is worth ten points. Given the current standings, every point is crucial. Is he so careless?" Although Casillas felt that Lin Che should have other arrangements, he still found it a little unbelievable that Lin Che directly gave up the tactic of Q3.

"It's not like he gave up directly. He probably thought Xiao Hao could get those ten points." Val analyzed, "From what we can see right now, DRS's engine should have the highest utilization rate of the so-called wandering particles. The last lightning charge also showed its strong strength in that special state."

In Li Bing's live broadcast room, a group of former WGP drivers completely let go. At first, Li Bing wanted to maintain order, but after realizing that he couldn't control the order, he simply gave up. Although most of these players are no longer in the racing field, when it comes to professional things, they are still more professional than other commentators.

"But, is he so confident that he can let Xing Mahao fight for the pole position alone?" Margaret was also surprised at this time, "Nie Ming is still on the field. If the two of them can't hold back, they may both be eliminated."

"But it's also possible that the two of them will break through themselves in the competition, right?" Barokli stood up and said seriously, "I have experience in this regard. Every time I played against them, regardless of whether I won or lost, I could feel obvious progress after the game."

"That makes sense. However, Michael and Carlo probably don't want this to happen." Hugh said at this time, "They should do something."

Sure enough, just as Hughie finished speaking, Xiao Hao was about to catch up after seeing Nie Ming start up, and was about to have a passionate confrontation with Nie Ming in the Burning Soul, but the next second, Michael's AMG-02 and Carlo's Pegasus II took the lead and set off. However, after they set off, they did not intend to compete with Nie Ming for the leading position, but stood in front of the Lightning Charge, intending to actively separate the two.

"Sure enough, the two of them have also realized that in a time-limited qualifying match, instead of betting that the two of them will be eliminated together, it is better to isolate them and not give them the opportunity to explode." Val said.

"However, Nie Ming's situation is not so easy to deal with, after all, he has support with him," said Casillas.

"But speaking of it, it's a pity for the previous Russian team," Val said. "If you had a driver who could take the lead besides Yuri, your results might have been much better."
