Li Leyi smiled. It was a little too late to learn the driving skills now. There was no way she could compare to Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang was basically at the level of a semi-professional racer.
“Cui Si, forget it.”
In the end, Li Leyi left while Cui Si lay on the bed. When she remembered how dejected Li Leyi had looked, she just could not let things be.
Lin Xiang was the one who provoked them. How could she just let them humiliate Li Leyi?
The next morning, Cui Si went to Shanghai’s city library to look for magazines or books about racing, hoping the system could help her this time too.
She didn’t need to be a racer at god-level. Just being able to drive a race car at a professional level would have been good enough.
However, despite reading a few books, the system didn’t respond at all. Cui Si started to panic. Could it be that the system didn’t care about her anymore?
She tried calling out to the system a few times in her head, but there was still no response.
Cui Si put down the book in her hand in disappointment and got up to leave. She was wasting her time here.
[Ding dong! Detected that the host is reading a racing magazine. Reward: McLaren GT.]
The arrival of the notification made her happy instantly, but when she heard the reward, she became disappointed just as quickly.
What she wanted was the skills of a race car driver, not a racing car.
Cursed system. It wasn’t helpful at all, always dropping the ball at crucial moments. She was going to lose tomorrow!
[Ding dong! Silly Host, you still have tomorrow.]
But that only made her angrier. What’s the use of having tomorrow? To get another race car?
[Ding dong! How will you pick up racing skills without a race car? Due to the host’s stupidity, the system will now unbind…]
Only then did Cui Si realize how helpful the system was.
“Dear System, I was wrong. I apologize. I wasn’t able to realize your good intentions. Please forgive me this time!”
[That’s more like it. You have to be more faithful in the future.]
When Cui Si left the library, she saw the most dazzling car in the parking lot. It was an orange McLaren GT. The car stood out like a crane among chickens. She could see it at a glance.
She drove home happily and found Li Leyi.
“Leyi, I have a surprise for you. Come with me quickly. We will definitely win tomorrow. I will definitely help you get your revenge.”
Li Leyi wore a confused look on his face as he was brought out by Cui Si in his pajamas.
When he saw the McLaren, he felt a little touched. Cui Si had actually bought a sports car worth millions just for him.
But what use was this? With Cui Si’s driving skills, she was basically digging her own grave.
“Thank you, Cui Si. Thank you, but I’ve already decided. We’re not going to compete. The worst that will happen is that I’ll just be humiliated.”
Cui Si looked at Li Leyi, who had no fighting spirit at all, and inexplicable anger rose in her heart.
“Li Leyi, when are you going to man up? Even if you’ve lost, you must still get back up on your feet. Why are you acting as if losing is the end of the world?”
Li Leyi saw how angry Cui Si was and smiled helplessly.
He had already warned himself and promised his sister that he would never drive again. Otherwise, he would just bring harm to others and himself.
Moreover, Cui Si did not have the skills needed. It would be suicide if he went.
“Forget it, Cui Si. Even if you learn now, it’s impossible for you to have the skills by tomorrow. You’ll still lose even if you go.”
Leyi turned around and headed back upstairs. His back looked a little lonely.
“Li Leyi, you’re looking down on me. I know how to drive too. I’m not any worse than you and I’m definitely not worse than that punk Lin Xiang.”
Li Leyi pretended he did not hear anything and continued to walk home.
..
Cui Si repeated what she did yesterday. She got up early, went to the library, and read magazines about racing.
A middle-aged man saw Cui Si and shook his head.
Learning how to drive such cars could not be done like this. No matter how many magazines she read, it was impossible for her to learn the skills of professional race car drivers.
If people thought that they could just drive by reading, the man feared that there would be more road accidents in the future.
[Ding dong! Detected that the host is reading a racing magazine. Reward: Schumacher’s godly driving skills.]
Cui Si almost jumped up in joy. She quickly looked through the magazine for everything about Schumacher.
When she was done, Cui Si laughed out loud – she had completely forgotten that she was in the library.
She did not expect Schumacher to have such amazing driving skills. Not only would she win tomorrow, but she would also win beautifully!
The middle-aged man frowned as he looked at her again. But he just shook his head and walked out.
When he reached the parking lot, he saw Cui Si get into a McLaren. His car was right beside it, so he quickly walked over.
“Miss, let me move my car out first. You can drive after that.”
Cui Si looked at the strange middle-aged man, puzzled.. “Mister, are you afraid that my driving skills are so bad that I will scratch your car?”
