83: The favorite to win? Tujiwagouer~

The racing track of Golden Racing City is also a spatial equipment.

The ratio to normal space is one to one thousand, which is enough for the miniaturized vehicles to gallop freely within it.

The Level 3 track is divided into seven sections: flat ground, swamp, sand, steep cliff, lake, mountain range, and forest.

After exiting the forest section and driving a bit further, the finish line appears.

The eight participating vehicles were spaced one hundred meters apart.

The race is completed by reaching the finish line.

Lu Yang sat in the Train Captain’s special seat in the cockpit, listening intently for the starting gun’s signal.

In reality, he didn't need to exert much effort during the starting phase.

With Xiao Xin, the Train Intelligent Auxiliary AI, his reaction was even faster than his own.

Beep—

Boom!!

When the racing staff’s starting gun gave the command, under the control of the Train Intelligent Auxiliary AI, the Xinhuo Train immediately shot out like an arrow from a bow.

The spectators in the stands only saw the leftmost iron box zip away, opening up a significant gap from the other competing vehicles.

Some spectators even rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"What's going on??"

"Is that really a Level 3 vehicle?!"

Lu Yang sat in the driver's seat, the strong G-force pushing him back, making him unusually excited.

On the dashboard, the current speed was a bright red 603 km/h.

In reality, the Xinhuo Train's maximum speed could now reach 651 km/h.

However, a flat road is not a professional railway, so the train cannot reach its theoretical maximum speed.

Of course, another important reason is that the Xinhuo Train’s current overall armor level is not evenly distributed, affecting the train's top speed.

Just now, Lu Yang had upgraded both the Gale Wheels and the Vehicle Shock Absorption Suspension to Level 10, preparing to upgrade them further.

However, Xiao Xin issued a warning, stating that if the speed increased further, the rear carriages of the train might suffer damage and disintegrate even with minor bumps. (PS: The integrated design ensures that the wheels are still dragged along after the carriage disintegrates, but it cannot guarantee that the carriage itself will not be damaged.)

The material of the carriages couldn't keep up with the increase in speed.

This made him abandon the idea.

But even upgrading them to Level 10 was enough.

The Gale Wheels at Level 10 provide a 110% boost to the train's maximum speed, while the Vehicle Shock Absorption Suspension at Level 10 provides an additional 55% boost to the train's maximum speed.

A Level 3 train's base maximum speed is 200 km/h.

(200 × (1+110%)) × (1+55%) = 651 km/h.

Additionally, the Level 10 Gale Wheels acquired the characteristic "Full Speed Start."

"Full Speed Start: After a brief engine warm-up, it can start at maximum speed."

The Level 10 Vehicle Shock Absorption Suspension acquired the characteristic "Dynamic Spatial Constancy."

"Dynamic Spatial Constancy: Regardless of the train's external state, the train's interior remains constant."

Therefore, Lu Yang was able to maintain a sprint from the very beginning.

However, compared to Lu Yang’s excitement, the other vehicle captains were a bit horrified.

600 km/h!!

It should be noted that the previous first-place Level 3 vehicle, thousand feather sail gliding cabin, only had a top speed of about 450 km/h.

In fact, 450 km/h has already reached the maximum speed limit of many Level 4 vehicles.

After all, among vehicle components, those that can increase a vehicle's maximum speed are the most difficult to obtain.

Many vehicle captains may only unlock a second basic speed-increasing component when they become Level 4 vehicle captains.

Those like Lu Yang, who can possess two components that increase maximum speed at Level 3, are extremely rare.

Not to mention, he also upgraded both vehicle components to Level 10.

Normally, even a Level 3 orange quality vehicle component cannot compare to a Level 10 green or blue quality vehicle component.

This led to Lu Yang pulling far ahead from the start.

The swamp and sand sections were relatively weak points for Lu Yang.

However, the Level 5 characteristic of the Vehicle Shock Absorption Suspension is short-term levitation.

Each instance has a maximum duration of 60 seconds.

At a maximum speed of 600 km/h, even gliding for 60 seconds can cover seven or eight kilometers.

The entire swamp section is only about ten kilometers long.

The sand section is a bit longer, twenty kilometers, so Lu Yang used short-term levitation several times.

Although the travel speed was significantly slower,

it was still several times faster than other vehicles.

A few times, there was a risk of sinking.

He slightly tilted the train and utilized the "Super Repulsion" characteristic obtained from the Level 5 Train Magnet. (PS: [Super Repulsion: Emits a super repulsive force, repelling all other objects within thirty meters of the train.]) (Some readers were curious about the Level 5 characteristic of the Train Magnet before, so I'm mentioning it here.)

He directly bounced the train out.

For the steep cliff section, Lu Yang directly used the small tunneling shield machine to go underground.

Others had to climb a steep cliff ten thousand meters high.

But from underground, the straight-line distance was only one or two kilometers.

He continued to fly through the lake section.

For the mountain range and forest sections, he used the Centipede Wheels combined with short-term levitation.

Finally, when the Xinhuo Train reached the finish line, the timer had just passed 30 minutes.

Behind him, the fastest of the other vehicles, like the Great King Sea Serpent, had only reached the steep cliff section.

The entire race became a solo performance by the Xinhuo Train.

In the stands, Wa Qi's mouth was wide enough to swallow two of himself.

Is this really a Level 3 vehicle?!

If you said it was a Level 6 vehicle, people would probably believe you.

But according to the registration information, the Xinhuo Train was indeed a Level 3.

This point was accurate and without error.

The Coastal City Hall wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

No wonder he could become the inheritor of the Golden Civilization Fire.

It turns out everything had been traceable from the beginning.

Compared to Wa Qi's shock, Luo Luo, who was beside him, was jumping and cheering, incredibly happy.

Seeing Lu Yang come up, she leaped up and hung on him like a kangaroo.

She kissed him, leaving his face covered in saliva.

Looking at him with adoration, she said, "Wow, My Lord, you're amazing!"

"You only took thirty minutes and three seconds, which is twice as fast as the current second place!"

"That thousand feather sail gliding cabin, it took one hour and one minute."

"Now we're going to make a fortune!"

Lu Yang: "???"

"Make a fortune? Even if I'm first, there's no coastal coins reward, right?"

Wa Qi interjected sourly, "No, there isn't, but she used a 50-denomination chip she found to bet on you for first place. With the current odds, she'll get at least 500,000 coastal coins in prize money."

Lu Yang: "..."

Because he hadn't raced on this track before, he didn't dare to bet on himself for first place before the race.

Yet Luo Luo trusted him without reservation.

This couldn't help but move Lu Yang.

If it weren't for being in public, he would have been tempted to perform the Sea Blessing with Luo Luo again.

After all, Luo Luo had whispered to Lu Yang more than once that her favorite thing to do was to perform the blessing with him.

Lu Yang has always returned kindness with kindness.

Gratitude must always be expressed appropriately.
