Cards, drinks, and the racing fund along with discretionary funds have already been ntioned, and Qin Miao also knows their general purpose.
So, for now, let’s not focus on them. Qin Miao directed his attention to the two newly acquired skills.
The first skill: Calming the Machine Soul.
[Calming the Machine Soul (Blue)]
[Description: Active skill. After activation, it can significantly reduce the malfunction rate of the targeted chanical creation for the next two hours.]
[Usage thod: Maintain a reverent attitude, close the fingers of the right hand together, and strike any part of the chanical creation three tis with an upward 45-degree angle and appropriate force.]
Seeing the description of this skill made Qin Miao very excited because for a racer, this skill is undoubtedly a godsend.
What are racers afraid of? It’s not that they’re less skilled than others, or that the car isn’t fast enough to catch up with opponents.
What racers are truly worried about is:
When you have the advantage in the race, you’re faster than your opponents.
But halfway through the race, you discover your car has a chanical failure, the kind that can’t be fixed during the race, forcing you to withdraw.
All the pre-race preparations, all the practice, all the careful calculations, and the hard work of the staff in tuning the car go to waste because of a chanical failure, rendering a week’s effort useless.
Such situations occurring once or twice are acceptable, as they are unavoidable.
But if it happens too often, even the most stable-minded racer can’t handle it.
With this skill, the likelihood of Qin Miao encountering chanical failures will be greatly reduced. For Qin Miao, this skill is a strong assurance, providing him confidence when stepping on the accelerator.
For example, we all know that a race car’s engine has a lifespan, and needs replacent after reaching a certain usage level.
However, replacing an engine isn’t as simple as swapping it out when you notice wear, as engines are expensive, and in F1 races, there are limits to the number of engine part replacents, aning you can’t change them at will. Repeated changes of the sa part incur penalties.
This ans you need to wait until a part is nearly beyond repair before replacing it.
But the closer a part is to being beyond repair, the more likely it is to have stability issues.
Naturally, when using an engine in such a state during a race, you’ll subconsciously avoid flooring the accelerator, fearing that reckless acceleration might cause the engine to blow up.
But with this skill, Qin Miao won’t have such worries under these circumstances. He can confidently and boldly press the accelerator to the floor, at least during the two hours of skill duration, without worrying about any issues arising with his car.
Although this skill is quite philosophical, it’s undeniable that being from the Warhamr Universe, it’s incredibly important for a racer who needs to deal with machinery.
After recognizing this skill as exceptionally useful, Qin Miao turned his attention to the next skill.
[Strong and Healthy (Blue)]
[Description: Passive skill, reduces physical wear by 3% when equipped.]
[Usage thod: Embed this skill into a Skill Slot]
After seeing the description of this skill, Qin Miao furrowed his brows because he felt that compared to the previous skill, Calming the Machine Soul, this skill didn’t quite match its blue grade.
After all, reducing wear by only 3% seems too little. After running 33 laps, the stamina saved is only enough for one more lap.
This skill seems sowhat lackluster. If it were a green skill, Qin Miao could accept it, but it happens to be blue.
Qin Miao felt a bit frustrated, but he quickly let it go.
Just like even things of the sa level can vary, this skill might just be the worst among blue skills.
However, if Qin Miao had an additional Skill Slot, he certainly wouldn’t mind using this Skill Card in normal tis. Although reducing wear by 3% doesn’t seem like much, every little bit counts, and accumulated savings in stamina is also a considerable number.
After categorizing this skill as diocre, Qin Miao exhaled a sigh of relief and intended to take out his phone to see if there were any nearby places selling lottery tickets, as his racing fund had arrived, and he needed a way to withdraw it.
Originally, Qin Miao was sowhat short on funds. Now with the 20 million from the lottery function’s racing fund, plus the 2 million from tasks, Qin Miao doesn’t have to worry about his racing expenses for the ti being.
Upon realizing he had so much money, Qin Miao wanted to take this opportunity to buy a GT3 race car under the na of the team he signed with.
Qin Miao felt that as a contracted professional racer, he should have the right to do so.
He wasn’t in a hurry to participate in any race with this car, simply buying a GT3 race car for personal practice. Anyway, Qin Miao now had money, and since this money ca so unexpectedly, Qin Miao spent it without any psychological burden.
However, the fact that he won two large lottery prizes consecutively did concern Qin Miao a bit.
But the system could potentially use so other unexpected ans to give this money to Qin Miao, and Qin Miao was quite looking forward to seeing what that ans would be.
Aside from this, Qin Miao curiously pulled up the blue (blue) skill card from his system.
He was curious about the difference between a blue skill card and a white one.
The explanation that appeared before Qin Miao truly shocked him.
Although the card didn’t have explicit details like a normal skill, once opened, Qin Miao instinctively understood why the card was nad blue.
Unlike the white card that gets unbound just by refueling or changing tires.
After using the blue skill card, the requirents for unbinding are no longer as strict as before.
Once the car is selected with the blue skill card, activities like changing tires, refueling, changing oil, or replacing windshield washer fluid won’t affect the binding status.
But that’s all it covers; changing rims, adding aerodynamic kits, or roll cages, modifying exhaust systems will still instantly unbind.
Still, compared to the white skill card, Qin Miao was quite satisfied with such enhancents in the blue skill card.
He took another look at the health potion (blue).
What puzzled Qin Miao was that unlike the blue skill card, this so-called health potion didn’t show any effect changes.
One could say the effect of this health potion was the sa as the white one, the difference being this potion’s effects are stronger and work faster.
However, Qin Miao didn’t dare to test the potion, though he trusted Qing deeply, he hadn’t brought the health potion with him when he went out, and Qing was with him the entire ti.
If she later asks why there’s an extra bottle of potion in the room, Qin Miao would truly have a hard ti explaining.
He secretly planned to buy a bigger water bottle later, and put the health potion in it when he wants to drink.
Seeing Qing still asleep, Qin Miao could only helplessly remain lying on the bed.
Yet, Qin Miao didn’t feel bored, slling the pleasant scent from Qing and listening to her even and smooth breathing made him feel at ease.
Maintaining such comfort, Qin Miao unknowingly drifted off to sleep again.
Qin Miao woke up again because of Qing.
Groggily opening his eyes, he saw Qing’s little face in front of him, with sothing waving in front of his nose.
Seeing Qin Miao awake, Qing withdrew the bun she was waving in front of Qin Miao’s nose, gave him a peck on the lips, and playfully said, "Good morning, dear~"
Qin Miao rubbed his nose and asked, "What ti is it?"
"It’s seven forty, you overslept, let’s have breakfast first."
With a nod, Qin Miao got up from bed, dressed, and asked, "Any plans for today?"
Qing shook her head: "Not at all, is there anywhere you’d like to go?"
Embarrassed, Qin Miao scratched his face and said, "I’d like to go to Shanghai one more ti, to test out my Ferrari..."
He expected Qing might be a bit displeased, as Qin Miao seed to care only about his enjoynt, without considering taking Qing sowhere to relax.
Unexpectedly, Qing naturally nodded and said, "Sure! I actually want to experience what it’s like to sit in your car and race on the track."
"Hehe, ngng, you’re the best!" Qin Miao was overjoyed.
"Let’s have breakfast first, or you’ll have no energy to drive later."
...
After having breakfast, Qin Miao ticulously cleaned himself inside and out, then, like a pilgrimage, held the Ferrari key left by Qing on the bedside table with an indulgent smile.
The Ferrari key was standard Ferrari red, with a string of silver Ferrari English letters printed on the back, and four buttons on the front for locking, unlocking, opening the front trunk, and turning on the car lights.
With a carbon fiber casing, the key wasn’t heavy in hand, but felt great and had a stylish design, making Qin Miao reluctant to put it down.
With the key in hand, Qin Miao eagerly turned to Qing and asked, "Where’s the car parked?"
Seeing Qin Miao’s eager expression, Qing shook her head and smiled, knowing that the guy would rush to experience his new car at Shanghai after waking up today.
So after returning to the hotel last night, Qing washed only Qin Miao’s racing suit, as she didn’t remove the helt and its lining for cleaning.
"Why don’t you put your helt on first; I parked the car in the hotel’s parking lot."
Qin Miao hurriedly nodded, put on his helt, Qing picked up her handbag, and the two headed out.
