"I didn't expect it to take a lot more time than I expected. After continuous high-speed turns, the tires really couldn't take it.”At the foot of Mount Haruna, Iketani was squatting beside the S13, stroking the wheels of the car helplessly.
With his current driving skills, it was easy to complete the task before noon. However, the car itself was a burden to him. The tires could not withstand the continuous high-speed drift. If he was not careful, he would consume too much energy. When he went down the mountain earlier, he almost caused understeer.
"Looks like I have to think of a way to get some money.”Iketani frowned as he looked at S13.
Racing was a very exciting thing, but at the same time, it was also a very costly thing. Petrol, tires, maintenance of spare parts, and the corresponding modifications according to different racing tracks all required money. With Iketani's current savings, it was okay to play occasionally, but it would be too much if he really invested in it.
He drove the S13 to a maintenance station and replaced the worn tires. His wallet was already empty. He could only blame Iketani for often treating the people in the team to food and drinks. As a result, he did not save much money. This S13 was his biggest asset.
After changing the tires, Iketani drove to the gas station where he worked. He had told his boss that he would be back at noon. As for the virtual space, he could only wait until he got home after work. Now, he needed to earn money to eat.
After parking the car, Iketani greeted Ah Shu and Takumi and walked into the lounge of the gas station. The boss was reading the newspaper.
"Iketani, you're late." The boss looked up at the clock and said, but his tone was very natural, obviously not very concerned.
This boss was also a local racer when he was young, so he could understand Iketani's enthusiasm. Although the two of them were boss and employee, they were also a little like friends.
"Sorry, there was a problem with the tire, so I changed it.”Iketani said. He walked over and opened his closet to change into the gas station's employee uniform.
"Oh, I remember that you changed your tires last week. Are there any competitions recently? You've been going back and forth to Mount Haruna. It's rare to see you so serious.”The boss asked in surprise.
"I just feel that my level is too low. I should hone myself more so that I won't be left behind after being challenged. That would be embarrassing.”Iketani said with a smile. He quickly changed his clothes, put on his hat, and walked out of the lounge.
"Hmm, this Chi Gu seems to have changed a lot.”The owner looked at Iketani's back and rubbed his chin. However, he didn't care much after a while. Anyway, this had nothing to do with him.
As soon as Iketani walked out, Ah Shu came over and asked excitedly,"Senior Iketani, are there any competitions going on recently? Seeing how busy you are, if so, you must tell me.”
"Haha, maybe." Iketani smiled noncommittally. The Takahashi brothers would probably arrive soon, and the plot would officially begin soon. He was looking forward to it.
"Senior, what do you think of 86? I plan to buy an 86 car with a loan. When the time comes, let me join the Speed Star. This is my lifelong wish!”Ah Shu said with a charming smile.
"You can consider it. Although the 86 is an old model, it is indeed a car suitable for beginners. You can slowly save money.”Chi Gu said indifferently.
"This is great!" After getting Iketani-senpai's approval, Ah Shu became excited. He was much more energetic than before. Compared to Tuo Hai, who was still listless, it was hard to imagine that he was a racing master. To be honest, even Iketani-senpai didn't dare to say that he was faster than this kid.
"Chi Gu!" At this moment, a white Nirvana 180SX slowly drove over. It was Jian Er.
"It's Senior Jian Er." Ah Shu greeted him warmly. Tuo Hai nodded. Because Jianer often came here, they were all familiar with each other.
"Iketani, it's Saturday tonight, and it's been a while since we've had a gathering. Why don't we go to Mount Haruna for a gathering tonight?”Kenji asked Iketani from the car.
"…Alright." Iketani thought about it and agreed. After all, it was still the fleet established by the previous Iketani. It was inevitable for them to interact in the future. It was better to get familiar with it as soon as possible.
"That's it then. I'll see you at the top of Mount Qiu tonight.”Kenji said as he drove away from the gas station.
"Senior Iketani! Tuo Hai and I want to go with you!" Ah Shu looked at Iketani with a face full of desire while Tuo Hai scratched his face indifferently.
Iketani did not want Ah Shu to stick to him. That was too disgusting. He waved his hand and said,"It's up to you. If you want to follow me, then follow me. Anyway, there are not many of you. Wait for me at the nearby station at eight o'clock tonight.
"Long live Senior Iketani!" Ah Shu said excitedly. A gathering of racers, just thinking about it was exciting.
The work at the gas station was very monotonous and not tiring. Even the inexperienced Iketani quickly adapted to it. In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. After bidding farewell to the boss, Iketani drove back.
After returning home, Iketani first found something to eat from the fridge. After filling his stomach, he began to study the virtual space rewarded by the system.
With the system's explanation, Iketani quickly understood what the so-called virtual space was, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic.
"Truly amazing!" After thoroughly understanding the virtual space, Iketani sighed with joy.
As long as it was a mountain road or any race track that he had personally run in the real world, it could be perfectly simulated in the virtual space. Every flower and grass was exactly the same as the outside world! It was the same for his car. As long as it was a car he owned, he could simulate it and drive it freely in the virtual world!
The most insane thing was that the effect of running one lap in the virtual space was equivalent to running 20 laps in the outside world! He only needed one lap to gain the experience and skill that others gained from running 20 laps!
Moreover, after each lap, the system would give him a score and point out his flaws. At the same time, as long as he had raced against his opponent, he would be automatically recorded. He could race against the virtual driver without limit!
He had been worried that his driving skills would fall behind some of the crazy drivers in this world, but the legendary cheat had appeared. It was too timely!
