Chapter 30: The Spotlight and the Nameless

At half past eleven, the players entered the arena in turn.

Fifty cars lined up according to their standings and waited for the start of the race.

Waiting at the starting line half an hour in advance is not to toss the runners, but to facilitate them to be interviewed by the media.

As one of the most popular TV shows in the Skytrain City, Death Speed has a huge number of fans and is a hot topic.

The moment the interview channel was opened, hundreds of TV stations and self-media interviewers poured in and surrounded the contestants.

The top three teams in the standings were jammed around, and the flashing lights didn't stop for a moment.

Potter's side is much more deserted by comparison.

As the second in the standings, only a dozen large media symbolically came to interview, and most of their attention was still focused on Mo Fan, the temporary escort.

It only took them ten minutes to deal with the various media outlets, and they sat in the car and watched the other hot players being tortured by the interviews.

The level of media attention also reflects the threat of the players.

The most popular player in the field is not Potter's three old rivals, not the fifth-placed team, but a guest crossover.

The overall champion of this year's "Turbo Rider" program, Ryan of Team Swiftwind.

On the list of threats given by An Xin, Ryan is in fourth place.

Ryan hasn't played in a similar tournament and has no vendetta against Potter, and his threat is entirely based on strength.

His driving skills and background are too hard.

Ryan comes from a wealthy family in the sky crane city, loves racing since he was a child, is guided by famous teachers, and plays tickets to participate in the speed car king as an adult, and won the championship in the first year.

In the final of the North District of Tianjia City, the cars and modules of other players are stylized and debugged according to the unified modules provided by the official.

Ryan is the only one, and his racing car "Swiftwind" and all the modules are customized at his own expense.

The overall performance of the Swift Wind is 20% higher than that of ordinary racing cars.

In the Death Racing Competition, according to the distribution of different modules, the data of the car is divided into three directions: speed, attack and defense.

In the case of Potter's racing car "Warhawk", he reduced the speed module inside the body and replaced it with a heavy-duty body, and added a reinforced armor defense module on the outside, and the attack end was all provided by Mo Fan.

The current stats of the "Warhawk" are about 6 speed, 0 attack and 4 defense.

And Ryan's "Swift Wind", with the same defensive strategy, can reach 7 speed, 0 attack and 5 defense, or 8 speed, 0 attack and 4 defense.

At the extreme, if he had gone 12-speed, 0-0-0 defense, it would have been difficult for the rest of the race to see him on the track in the first ten seconds.

Ryan's threat comes not only from the high-end custom "Swift Wind", but also from his escorts.

According to An Xin's intelligence, Ryan's escort is the bodyguard of the family, whose strength is close to that of a C-level mercenary, and he has been implanted with at least one civilian combat prosthesis.

If it weren't for the home field advantage and bullying Ryan for not being used to the style of the Death Ride, the other players wouldn't have to play anymore and could directly mail the trophy to Ryan's home.

As for the last threat on An Xin's list, it is the complete opposite of Ryan.

Ryan's threat comes from his heat and dazzling.

The fifth place on the list of threats comes from his inconspicuousness.

The "Quicksand" team is in 50th place in the standings.

They were a humble team that had been at the bottom of the top of the table, and three races before the quicksand rider had an accident and was suspended for the remainder of the race.

Since then, there has been no news of Quicksand's recruitment of drivers.

People thought that Quicksand would quit the stage finals, but who knew that they were stuck at the tail end of the registration deadline, so they chose to participate.

The rider and escort were newcomers who had never seen before, and the rider's name was Gareth, and he looked like a standard wanderer.

An Xin used her connections in the wasteland, but she didn't get any information about the pair, so she paid special attention to them.

An enemy that appears suddenly and is unknown can often cause great trouble.

At 11:50 a.m., the indicator light at the starting point turned yellow, and the race team prompted the media to leave.

The competitors enter the car, do the final adjustments, and get ready to start the race.

In Potter's surprised eyes, Mo Fan took out two mechanical fist gloves and put them on his hands.

"Big brother, are you going to compete with these two big and bulky guys?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Mo Fan use his hand with a mechanical arm to take out the revolver on his waist, and the three-fingered mechanical claw flexibly turned two spear flowers, opened the bullet nest with one hand, and filled it with bullets one by one.

Putting away the revolver, Mo Fan raised his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Potter turned his head back to the front, "It's okay, I just wanted to ask, this is also what you worked out with push-ups and running?" ”

"This is based on meditation, not training."

"I believe it, really."

11:55 a.m.

The narrator stands on the open-air stage and shouts into the camera:

"Now is the stage finals scene in the North District of Tianchuan City, welcome to all audiences to watch, the guessing channel is about to close, and there are still three minutes left! Hurry up and bet and choose the lucky one that will appear tonight! ”

"There are two minutes left, so let's take a look at the magnification. Among the top 20 players in the standings, our Porter stats are not ideal, and it can be seen that the loss of his old partner has made the audience very worried about his condition. ”

Mo Fan opened his phone and found the betting interface of the Death Speed.

The odds of finding Porter alive are 1:1.5 and the odds of winning the championship are 1:2.5.

The odds of destroying the king in this game are the most exaggerated, reaching 1:9.5!

Check the rules and see that all users with quarterly subscribers and above on the Death Speed channel will be able to place bets.

Mo Fan pressed the headset twice and connected An Xin, who was following the action of the maintenance team.

"Miss An, help me place a bet."

"How much do you want to play?" An Xin's voice was a little drunk, and she could hear that she had already drunk.

"Survive + win the championship + destroy the king's skewers, down eighty thousand, no, seventy-five thousand."

"How much?" An Xin confirmed.

"Seventy-five thousand. If you can help me make it whole, I will give it a hundred thousand. ”

"Who taught you to be so neat?"

After hesitating for a moment, An Xin said, "The money can be borrowed from you, but the interest must be clearly calculated." If you lose, the interest will only be charged to you 10%, and if you earn, the part you earn will be divided into half of the 20,000. ”

"No problem!"

Mo Fan disconnected the voice, only to see that Potter turned his head at some point and looked at him with a touched face.

"Big brother, I didn't expect you to trust me so much."

"Of course, we're a team. If you have money to spare, you can follow along. ”

Potter said with some humility, "I've already done it." ”

"What's your order?"

"Survived normal play."

Mo Fan snorted, "Look at your little bit of interest." ”

At twelve o'clock, the yellow indicator shows a countdown.

10、9、8……

The engines began to roar, and cheers and shouts began to erupt around the arena

1。

0!

As the countdown reaches zero, the indicator turns green, and the competitors start at the same time, rushing straight out like arrows off the string.

After crossing a 200-meter straight line and leaving the makeshift indoor track, they entered the Wildwind Road.

Relying on the ranking advantage, when they first left the indoor circuit, Mo Fan and Porter were still in the lead.

But it didn't take long for the situation to change after entering the road.

The aqua-blue "Swift Wind", carrying a strong sound, easily passed by them and entered the leading position.

Its speed seemed to have no upper limit, getting faster and faster, completely distancing itself from the rest of the people, rushing towards the death labyrinth.

Looking at the "Swift Wind", Potter said with envy:

"That grandson has at least adjusted the speed of 11, probably 12, if I have such a good car, it will definitely be faster than him."

The flamboyance of SWIFT WIND quickly drove the other drivers to accelerate.

Most of the riders started out thinking the same way as Porter, and on the first section of the track, the focus was on speed, maintaining a speed of at least 7-8.

Valtan's "Phantom" and Clayton's "Volcano" were unwilling to be robbed of the limelight by a crossover kid, and immediately accelerated their speed and chased after "Swift Wind".

Other vehicles followed.

Soon, Mo Fan and Porter's "War Eagle" fell from the first echelon to the last echelon.

It's not that Potter doesn't want to accelerate, but his strength doesn't allow it.

With only 6 points of speed, a heavy body and a heavy defense module, the actual speed is less than 5.

But there's also the advantage of running slower, and that's that it's easy to tell how many people are going to do it to them in the first phase.

Mo Fan pointed out the window and nodded, and said to Potter:

"There are actually ten teams left to accompany us, which is really too enthusiastic."
