Chapter 696: Overtaking
The news of the "cobalt gold mine for sale at an ultra-low price" quickly spread to the entire Blakes Avenue within ten minutes, and quickly spread in the city of Durrell at an unimaginable speed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe 500 pieces of cobalt gold ore immediately entered the "burst sale" mode after the initial onlookers - more than 300 pieces were sold in the blink of an eye, and the buyers also changed from the original vendors, magic item store managers and clerks to students, lecturers and even vice deans of various colleges...
After twenty minutes of this panic sale, it finally caught the attention of the "enforcers" in Durrell City, which would not have intervened directly when it came to "business" issues. They are the "executors", often only responsible for action and have no other rights, and any dispute between Rasiman and the "commercial arbitrator" in white robes of the "Commercial Authority" is resolved. But obviously..."the news of the "sale of cobalt gold ore at a low price" was like a bomb for Ballenna College, and the academy's senior management, who had been notified by Rotica a long time ago, immediately felt like a great enemy after learning the news.
And the measures they took were also very decisive: with the enormous influence of Congressman Rotica in Parliament, the Barrenna leadership collectively put pressure on the "enforcers", stepped over the steps of the "Commercial Authority" ruling, and directly asked the "enforcers" to quickly calm the situation - so when the red-robed "enforcers" appeared on "Blakes Avenue", the crowd of onlookers who were still watching and snapping up the purchase immediately realized that something was wrong. Regardless of whether you buy it or not, almost everyone is scattered as birds and beasts at the moment...
Whether it was the vice president of the academy who was not low, or the small traders and vendors who came late, no one dared to stay at all, and they all left Erwin's stall as if they were passing by.
And looking at the row of red-robed mages approaching from the corner of the street, Merinthera stretched out her hands and made a movement to stretch her limbs.
"Roddy, this guy, guessed really accurately. ”
"Squeak-"
The sound of tires rubbing against the ground suddenly sounded, and the rear-wheel drive "Fire Crossbow Arrow" quickly idled as Roddy pushed the "throttle" to the end. In the next second, the body of the "catapult start" galloped forward like an arrow!
The surrounding scenery quickly regressed, and Luo Di held the handlebars leisurely, although the stone pavement of the street was not smooth, the body that reached a speed of 70 kilometers per hour was smooth and comfortable, and almost no vibration was felt...
This is where the "Levitation Circle Suspension" comes in.
Fifteen seconds after activation, the Firebolt traveled across the square and into the streets. However, when Roddy saw the other construction puppets in front of him that were steaming and hurrying forward, he had to step on the brakes and quickly slow down - because the width of the track was too narrow at this time, and the other construction puppets in the whole race had not yet opened up the gap, and at a glance, there were almost seven or eight of them crowded together, and the driver on the puppet was concentrating on debugging various magic circles, not noticing the inconspicuous figure behind him...
Roddy is not in a hurry, and the 93-kilometer track is estimated to take an hour and a half. So he followed behind humming a song, looking left and right, completely looking at the leisurely appearance of a convertible drive.
What he didn't know was that on the floating tower at this time, a group of mages were all pointing at Roddy.
Because the speed at which Roddy crossed the square just now was so amazing - it took a minute for other construction puppets to cross the entire square at the fastest, but Roddy's fire bolt slashed like a lightning bolt in fifteen seconds, so much so that many mages thought that the "fire bolt" circle was out of control...
"If it goes on like this, it will definitely blow up!"
"Bomb it or not, how far can he run? What magic crystal can withstand in this situation?"
Even Jeremy, the most authoritative puppeteer and speaker of the council, was scared out of sweat by Roddy, but when Roddy braked easily and followed behind the other puppets at a steady speed, he let out a "huh", "... There is no energy disorder?"
Dorith, who was not far away, didn't realize what Roddy's hand represented just now, and looked boredly at the horizon in the distance with the drink in her hand, and when she found Miranda and Evely next to her frowning and staring down, she couldn't help but be a little curious: "What's wrong?
Every year in the rally, the construction golems that crash into walls, shatter or explode in place for various reasons are also one of the "pleasures to watch", so Doiris has this question. However, Evely's face was solemn, her eyes were fixed down, and she asked without looking back, "Dores, didn't that guy tell you where his constructed puppet came from?"
"I didn't mention it, what's wrong? Can he really run with that improvised piecework?"
Dorith glanced down, but she almost threw the drink out of the tower - because at this moment, she happened to see Roddy passing by like a swimming dragon, directly overtaking the twelve vehicle puppets!
After a six-kilometre narrow track, the Third Group's puppets finally made their way to Tim College Square, north of Durrell. And Luo Di did not hesitate to take the throttle, and easily overtook the twelve puppets in front of him at a distance of 500 meters, broke away from the third group in one fell swoop, and directly bit the tail of the second group!
In the process of his overtaking, a vehicle puppet of Blunka Academy tried to steer to block his advance, but how could a "big man" eight meters long and three meters wide be as agile as Roddy's "Fire Crossbow Arrow"?
"Boom—"
The parts of the puppet that flipped to the ground fell in all directions, and a Movent Academy puppet behind it was unable to dodge and rear-ended on the spot, almost knocking the Blunka Academy puppet into two pieces. The mage driving above immediately activated the protection circle, which avoided the tragedy of "car destruction and death". However, it is clear that the two puppets will inevitably retire.
And what about Roddy, when the driver of the Blunka Academy got up and tried to find the other party, he found that the shadow of the "fire bolt" had disappeared from the track at the end of the square...
"Overtaking" is the most important part of the round-the-city rally, because they have to calculate the current remaining energy of the vehicle puppet, whether the radiator can withstand the overload of heat after sudden acceleration, and find the most suitable section of the road for overtaking - but this so-called "technical work" can only be regarded as the "daily life" when driving in Roddy's eyes.
Originally, there were other things to do from the fifth to the eighth day of the new year, but it seems that I may have to be idle at the moment, so if it's okay tomorrow, I'll start the two shifts.
