PFC Chapter 172 Silver Mask
Chapter 172 Silver Mask
Just at the last minute, the sound of a sports car engine came through...
Everyone's attention was drawn to the sports car.
A woman wearing a silver mask slowly stepped out of the car, her long, straight legs outstretched. Her white shirt and tight jeans were the simplest of outfits, yet they gave off an aura of both angel and devil, especially the silver half-mask on her face, which made her look incredibly mysterious.
"It must be Sister Xi. Who else could have such good proportions and temperament besides Sister Xi? I knew Sister Xi wouldn't stand me up. Something must have been holding her up," Song Beishu said happily.
[Song Beishu's favorability +10]
"But why is Sister Xi wearing a mask? It's strange. She usually only wears face masks." He scratched his head and asked in confusion.
Looking at the woman's attire, Song Beichuan felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"Who is this woman? Why is she wearing a mask for a competition? Can she even see clearly with a mask on?"
"Exactly, I've never seen anyone wear a mask in a competition before."
"Yes, it is the Cloud Shadow that disappeared a long time ago."
"Yun Ying? You mean Yun Ying, the world champion who broke the record? I heard that no one has broken her fastest record to this day." The man became visibly excited when he mentioned Yun Ying.
"It's her, but why is she dressed the same as described in the rumors?"
"Of course it's for traffic," the one replied dismissively.
Song Beichuan then realized why the person in front of him gave him such a strong sense of familiarity. He remembered flipping through a magazine before, and this was the same outfit on the cover: Yun Ying, the world's number one race car driver.
"This person doesn't think he's Yunying just because he's impersonating her, does he? Yunying became famous at the age of 18, which is nearly 30 years ago. Even if she reappeared now, she would be over 40 years old. How could she be so young?"
"Yeah, who is this guy? He's so shameless."
"Bei Shu, is this the contestant you found? Does she like to show off so much? I don't accept her."
"That's right, he obviously doesn't know much about racing. If he were to race for our Song family, he would become a laughing stock."
“We’ll not only lose the project, but we’ll also lose face,” someone in the clan said, slapping their thigh.
Lin Xi got out of the car and looked at the entire track. It was called a track, but it was actually a series of huge, naturally formed bends with a bottomless abyss below, making it extremely dangerous.
She touched the silver mask on her face and fell into deep thought.
"Trigger a random mission, participate in a competition under an unknown identity, and win the championship. Your identity will be revealed after the competition. Successful mission will grant you the 'Superb Driving Skills' level. There is no penalty for failure. To better complete the mission, the reward will be issued in advance and will be taken back after failure. Do you accept?"
Lin Xi was on her way when the system's voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
"accept."
After she finished speaking, she stopped the car and happened to see a mask shop next to her. She immediately took a liking to one of the silver masks, which gave off a mysterious and dangerous feeling.
Lin Xi was very satisfied. After paying the money, he arrived at the competition venue, which led to the scene at the beginning.
She initially thought it was nothing, but upon hearing the discussions around her, she couldn't help but begin to have some doubts.
It's too much of a coincidence; it all seems like it was all planned.
Yunying? Why does that name sound familiar? She was certain she had never heard of it before.
"Time's up. All contestants, please enter the arena and get ready," the organizer announced again.
Lin Xi shook her head, cleared her mind, and drove the borrowed car into the venue.
"Is this woman planning to participate in a race in this ordinary sports car? That's incredibly reckless."
"Oh, they're just participating for the sake of it. Wang Qi is already on the field, the others are just there for show. They can always blame it on their own car later."
"That's true, how come I didn't think of that?"
The Song family was now completely unsettled.
"Song Beishu, that girl is using this car to participate? I remember you have a top-of-the-line racing car, don't you?"
"Oh, no need. She said it doesn't matter which car she drives."
"This is ridiculous! Driving your car might have given us a sliver of hope, but now there's not even a last glimmer of hope left." With that, the man sat down helplessly, his face full of lament. "Oh well, it's come to this. We can only leave it to fate."
Wang Qi watched her drive the car and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
He thought the Song family had found someone really capable, but it turns out they're just this kind of guy. What a waste of his time.
Wang Qi immediately looked away, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Brother Qi, the championship is definitely yours today. That last guy will probably just give up when he sees you. Otherwise, what kind of good person would drive such a beat-up car to the race?"
"That's right, that's right. Brother Qi is really amazing. He scared people before it even started."
"Hahaha, after this we're done, let's find a place to have some fun." Wang Qi was clearly pleased by what he'd been told, his smile widening as he looked at Lin Xi with even more disdain.
Meanwhile, the man who received 2000 million yuan took a long vacation and was happily sleeping soundly at home, completely unaware that his precious car was considered a piece of junk by others.
Lin Xi touched the steering wheel, and all the data about the car appeared in her mind.
I didn't expect this car to have been modified. Although the modification was very basic, the materials used had a very high load-bearing capacity. However, it was all disposable, and it probably can't be driven on the road after it's used up.
The owner who modified the car was probably doing so to prepare for emergencies, but she never expected to run into it.
For her, this car is actually the most suitable for her, allowing her to reach her full potential.
Compared to Lin Xi's prominent presence, the black race car on the far side appeared extremely low-key.
"If everything is ready, we need to say something before we begin. As you all know, this track is called the Death Bend. As the name suggests, it is extremely dangerous. Since it is naturally formed, many of the safety measures are definitely not as good as those of a conventional track. Therefore, if you wanted to withdraw before, you can still do so now. If you insist on participating, please sign a life-or-death agreement first," the organizer said again.
After he finished speaking, all the other contestants present were filled with excitement, and not one of them wanted to withdraw.
The agreement was delivered, and everyone signed it quickly without hesitation.
"Now, the competition officially begins, the countdown starts... 3... 2... 1..."
As soon as the number 1 was dropped, all the cars rushed forward like madmen.
“Look, that girl wearing a mask doesn’t seem to have a navigator. We hadn’t noticed before.”
"It's such a dangerous place, and they didn't even bring a navigator. They're driving this beat-up car. It's too dangerous."
At this moment, Lin Xi's mind conjured up a map of the entire arena, detailed down to the smallest detail...
