The artists stayed in the camp with anxious and expectant feelings, preparing for a small celebration ceremony while waiting for the appearance of Lee Kyung-won and Yoo Jae-seok.

Finally, half an hour later, a car from the Challengeless Team appeared in everyone's sight. Although the distance is still relatively far, I can't see the number on the car clearly, and I don't know who is driving in the road, but as long as I see the unpickable sign, everyone is still very excited to jump.

In the blink of an eye, the car was driving into the camp.

The number on the car is 399, so even if Li Jingyuan is still wearing a helmet, everyone already knows his identity.

Li Jingyuan set off after Liu Zaishi, but returned to the camp before Liu Zaishi. As soon as I thought of this situation, many questions popped up in everyone's hearts.

However, before the artists could start to act, the staff of the team surrounded the front first.

"Jing Yuan, how do you feel? Tired or not? "The car is Hyundai, and the technical director is also sent by Hyundai, and he is naturally a Korean, and he is already very familiar with Li Jingyuan and others in the relationship some time ago, so the address when speaking is more casual.

"It feels good, hehe." Taking off his helmet and wiping the sweat from his head, Li Jingyuan showed a big smile and gave a thumbs up to the technical director: "I didn't feel anything at first, but then I felt more and more energetic." By the way, this car is really well adjusted. ”

"Is there anything you don't feel good about?" Since Li Jingyuan mentioned cars, of course, we have to ask him how he feels about cars. It's not just good or bad, but I want to hear if Li Jingyuan has any detailed opinions, such as whether he will feel a little stuck when changing gears, such as whether he is flexible enough when steering, and so on.

Knowing what the technical director meant, Li Jingyuan began to recall it slightly. After a long while, he shook his head: "No, the handling of the car is very good, and everything else is good, I don't see anything wrong." Oh. By the way, the only thing that is not so good is that it is too hot in the car~! ”

When the word 'hot' was spoken, Li Jingyuan was a little depressed.

On the first day, there are only regular stages, and there are no special stages. No need to rush. The road conditions are also relatively good. In this case, the drivers can be more leisurely behind the wheel.

It was the first time for Lee Kyung-won to participate in the competition, and it was indeed impossible for him to have such an easy attitude when he first set off.

But then again, Li Jingyuan's mood is not leisurely. But he definitely won't be nervous, after all, this is not the first time he has participated in a world competition.

Moreover, Li Jingyuan's adaptability is very strong. When I first set off, I really didn't dare to be careless, and I was very concentrated, but it didn't take long. Li Jingyuan got used to the feeling of the game and began to relax more and more.

After relaxing, Li Jingyuan's mentality unconsciously moved closer to those veteran drivers, so he also had a spare time to experience the other feelings brought by the race.

And Li Xiugen's feeling is different. He doesn't have a steering wheel in his hand, and looking at the changing scene in front of the car window, Li Xiugen's subconscious will be more insecure than Li Jingyuan. Moreover, Li Xiugen has no experience in participating in the World Championship, and he thought that this was the first time he had participated in such a large-scale competition. His mood will unconsciously become nervous.

The more concentrated, Li Xiugen naturally did not focus on 'heat'.

The two sat in the same car, but Li Jingyuan was the only one who felt hot, which was the most embarrassing thing for him.

"Hehe, it's not normal if it's not hot. No way, everybody's like that. After hearing Li Jingyuan's complaint, the technical director shook his head with a smile, saying that he had no way to solve this problem: "Even if the air conditioner is installed." It can't be used either, it will increase fuel consumption. ”

In the Dakar Rally. Riders have all sorts of problems. In addition to the accident, the oil cut is the most disgusting.

Today is only the first stage, not only is it only 377 km, but there are no special sections. It's still easy to fill up a tank of fuel in the car and run the whole distance.

However, from tomorrow onwards, it will not be so easy. Not to mention that the distance has become longer, there will also be special stages.

The farther you go, the more gas you use; If the road conditions are bad, you need to change the speed frequently, and the frequent speed change will also make the gasoline consume faster; If you miss the timing point, you have to go back to find it, which is equivalent to running a lot more wrongful roads, which will also consume gasoline.

The combination of these disadvantages creates a very serious problem. Even the best veteran drivers often run into gas cuts.

If the oil is really out of oil, what should you do?

Solution 1: Wait for fuel from logistics vehicles or airlifts. Before the start of the race, the team pays the tournament organizer a fee, which includes the cost of fuel. If there is a fuel outage during the race, you can wait in place while a logistics vehicle or helicopter brings in the gasoline.

Solution 2: Ask for help from other drivers. To put it bluntly, ask the other drivers to get some gas.

Solution 3: In some special stages, when passing through towns and villages, go directly to the designated gas station to refuel.

There are several solutions, but none of them are practical.

First, if you stay where you are, how long will you have to wait? The support vehicle doesn't always follow the drivers, and if the fuel runs out in the middle of the stage, it can take hours for the support vehicle to arrive. Helicopters can be a little faster, but they can be just as time-consuming.

Second, even if other drivers want to help, they don't necessarily have the power to spare. Everyone's situation is the same, if you run off oil, others won't run off oil?

Thirdly, there will be a gas station only on a few designated stages. This is a special case, but it doesn't work every time. Also, if the oil is cut off far from the gas station, it will not be used either.

So, the oil cut-off is a big hassle, and the riders have to try to avoid it. If you want to reduce fuel consumption as much as possible, you can't naturally install any air conditioner in the car.

Hot? Carry it. That's what the technical director gave Li Jingyuan's answer.

"Hehe, I also know the way, that's what I said." Nodding with a smile, Li Jingyuan said hello, left the car with Li Xiugen, and walked towards the artists.

The maintenance of the car is entrusted to the staff, and the most important job for the drivers and navigators after the entire run is to eat and rest.

Although today only 377 kilometers were run. But in terms of time, it's not short. The bumps in the car also consumed a lot of physical strength, so at this time, Li Jingyuan and Li Xiugen already felt a little hungry.

As a driver, Li Jingyuan has become the focus of everyone, and most of the artists are asking questions around him, relatively speaking. Lee so-geun has not received so much attention.

While they are not surrounded. Li Xiugen, who is an elder brother, is not righteous at all, so he went directly to the canteen of the rest center, and asked the master in charge of cooking in an authentic Korean dialect.

“what？” Where is it possible for a master to understand Korean, and after hearing Li Xiugen's words, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

“eat~~！ food。 "It's not just as simple as it gets. And the tone is very strange, and as a last resort, Li Xiugen can only speak English words while gesturing at the master.

This will be barely understood, but the master still did not cook for Li Xiugen. For what? Hehe, it's funny. It turned out that this master regarded him as an ordinary staff.

Although there is a cafeteria in the rest center, there are rules in this cafeteria.

Drivers and navigators consume a lot of physical energy when participating in races, and it is natural that they cannot eat the same food as ordinary staff in order to replenish their nutrition. In order to distinguish them, there are two areas in the rest center, one for the food and drink of the drivers and navigators, and the other for the meals of the general staff.

The diet of the drivers and navigators is focused on nutrition and absorption, so most of the time they can only eat athletes' special meals that don't taste good but are very nutritious. comparatively. The staff didn't have too many restrictions, so their meals were more hearty and tasty.

Li Xiugen threw his helmet on the car, and after getting out of the car, he took off half of his special uniform, and the clothes on his upper body were directly wrapped around his waist, revealing the white T-shirt inside. And look at his body shape and temperament. It's not so much like a driver or a navigator, but more like a support guy in a team who is in charge of technical work.

Seeing the 'rustic' Li Xiugen, it is reasonable for the master to have some misunderstandings. Moreover, the reason why he didn't cook for Li Xiugen. Actually, it's also kind, didn't you see him reach out and point to the other side several times? He was telling Li Xiugen, 'You don't need a staff member to come and eat these nutritious meals. The food over there is what you should eat, and it's much better than here. ’

"No, I'm the navigator, that's all I want to eat~." After comparing the painting to the painting, the master just didn't give him food, and he was anxious and hungry, and after Li Xiugen said the word 'navigator' in English, he shouted directly in Korean.

'Navigator? No way. The less English Li Xiugen spoke, the more the master decided that he was not a navigator. The driver doesn't know English and can speak it, how can there be a navigator who doesn't know English? If he doesn't know English, how can he read road books? What do you think about GPS? How to guide the driver?

Although he thought that Li Xiugen was talking nonsense, this master still smiled. Well, maybe he is a volunteer, so kind that he is willing to work for nothing without a salary, and of course he will not be angry because of this little thing about Li Xiugen.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Just when Li Xiugen and the master were 'theoretical', Li Jingyuan also came to the canteen surrounded by artists, and after seeing this scene, he was a little confused.

"Jing Yuan, you came just in time, hurry up and tell him my identity. He didn't believe me, he didn't think I was the navigator, and he wouldn't give me food. Turning his head and seeing Li Jingyuan, Li Xiugen hurriedly pulled him to the front as if he had seen a savior, and pointed to the stubborn master and said.

"Brother, didn't you bring a sign?" Looking at Li Xiugen, Li Jingyuan felt very funny, and took out a plastic sign from his pocket while asking him. It looks like the certificate that reporters wear on their chests when they interview, and it is the only ID that only the driver and the navigator have.

"Uh......." Li Xiugen was reminded, and he also learned Li Jingyuan's movements, took out the same card a few times in his pocket, looked at this card, and then looked at the stubborn master, Li Xiugen was depressed: "xx, why did I forget, what is this called~!" ”

It's already depressing. In addition, after the master saw the card, he showed a speechless expression of 'why didn't you take it out earlier', Li Xiugen was even more aggrieved at this time, if he wasn't hungry and couldn't bear it, he would have wanted to escape from this embarrassing place.

After all, the meal was made, and Li Jingyuan and Li Xiugen came to the table with a rice plate. The other artists also had dinner on the other side. Sit down with the two of you and talk while eating. Because of worry. So before Li Jingyuan and Li Xiugen appeared, these artists didn't eat.

Of course, not all of them are there. There are also some people waiting for Liu Jae-seok and Kim Byung-wan, ready to wait for the two of them to come back before eating together.

"Huh? The taste is not too bad. "Took a bite of mushy food. Li Xiugen suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"That's because you're hungry, and everything you eat when you're hungry is delicious, brother, you should have already experienced this, right?" Li Jingyuan also took a bite, and complained vaguely in his mouth.

"That's right. I don't know how many times I have done it in "Two Days and One Night". Hehe, I really should be thankful, if I hadn't worked out in "Two Days and One Night" for so long, I wouldn't have adapted so quickly. Li Xiugen was also happy, and asked Li Jingyuan rhetorically: "Jingyuan, what about you?" After quitting for so long, can you still adapt to this condition? ”

In a sense, the experience in "Two Days and One Night" can be regarded as a practice before this competition, that is. Li Jingyuan's decision to leave "Two Days and One Night" can be seen as a mistake in decision-making, and in comparison, Li Xiugen, who has been guarding the position, has become a 'smart man'.

Before Li Jingyuan left "Two Days and One Night", his role in the show happened to be a 'smart and cunning old man', and Li Xiugen was cheated by him countless times. It was just a stark contrast, and coupled with the fact that the eldest brother would always make some very rustic moves, he earned the nickname of 'the fool of the village'.

In the past, he was a 'fool', and the other party was a 'smart person'. Now it's reversed, and the other party has made a mistake in decision-making. On the contrary, he has become a 'smart person'. As soon as he thought of this, Li Xiugen couldn't help but feel a little nervous, not so much asking Li Jingyuan a question, but it was more appropriate to show off.

"Hmph, Brother Xiugen, you still worry about yourself, how can my physique not be able to adapt to it." Of course, Li Jingyuan would not admit defeat, so he raised the bar with Li Xiugen while eating.

The two of them were eating and talking, and after they had something in their stomachs, they were not so hungry. At this time, they feel that the food in front of them is not so delicious.

It's been a week since I arrived in Argentina, and I haven't eaten Korean-style food these days, so I'm a little panicked, and I don't have a good impression of the food in front of me, Li Jingyuan and Li Xiugen can't help but sigh: "Alas, it would be nice if there was a miso soup or something~." ”

"There is no miso soup, there is kimchi soup, do you want it?" As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a voice came from behind them. It doesn't matter who said it, the key is the content, this sentence is undoubtedly a fairy sound for Li Jingyuan and the two.

When I turned my head, it turned out to be Li Xiaoli, who was followed by Song Qian behind her. Both of them held a small clay pot with freshly cooked kimchi and tofu soup in their hands.

"Wow, Sister Xiaoli, thank you so much~!!" couldn't wait, Li Jingyuan stood up directly and took the clay pot from Li Xiaoli's hand, and didn't care about the heat, so he took a small sip on the edge of the sand pot.

Li Xiugen also thanked while taking the casserole from Song Qian's hand, and after taking a sip, he showed a happy face.

According to the rules, the canteen must provide the players with food that is both nutritious and easy to digest, but there are no rules that restrict the players from eating only these things. In other words, if the players don't care about it, they can still eat something else.

In order to welcome the return of Li Jingyuan and Liu Zaishi, the artists wanted to make some preparations after arriving at the camp. After asking the rules and eliminating some foul plans, the kimchi pot was the first surprise they came up with.

The food wasn't great, but with the kimchi pot, there was no longer a problem. After a while, the two of them ate the food on the rice plate.

"Whew~~, it's much more comfortable now~!" Leaning back in their chairs, Li Jingyuan and Li Xiugen both showed satisfied expressions. Although I didn't eat it, I was already very happy to be able to eat kimchi soup.

"Is that satisfying? Don't take a shower? Seeing Li Jingyuan's comfortable expression, Li Xiaoli, who made kimchi soup, also felt very satisfied, and after smiling, he asked him again, and then showed a mysterious smile and said: "Hurry up and take a bath, I'll give you a massage when I'm done~!" ”

"Massage??" Before Li Jingyuan could react, Li Xiugen jumped up first: "Wow, haha, haha, the massage service provided by Li Xiaoli is so rare~!" No, I'm going to take a shower, where? ”

"Brother~, aren't you afraid of your sister-in-law's reaction after seeing the show?" Looking at Li Xiugen's exaggerated reaction, and then at Li Xiaoli's speechless expression, Li Jingyuan was also happy, pointed to the camera next to everyone, and poured a large basin of cold water on Li Xiugen.

"Uh~, that, wife, that ~~" first looked at the camera for a while, but after really couldn't find a suitable excuse, Li Xiugen finally became angry and yelled directly at VJ: "This point is pinched, not allowed to be broadcast, do you know it??" ”

"Haha~~!" Seeing Li Xiugen's reaction like this, everyone finally couldn't help it and laughed together.
