CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 32: I NEVER EXPECTED YOU TO BE THIS KIND OF PERSON

"Ding, you’ve won a race, system rewards Experience Points: 2000, and Popularity Points: 1500."

"Ding, Host has achieved consecutive victories, Spiritual Value increased by 5, continuous win count is 3, additional 150 Experience Points awarded. Host, please keep up the effort; the more consecutive wins, the greater the achievements and the doubled Experience rewards."

Driving the pickup home, Ye Qiu was somewhat surprised by the system’s voice.

"Consecutive victories can still earn additional rewards, and what are these achievements?"

Ye Qiu asked Fle.

Fle replied: "Achievements are based on your consecutive win record, the number of completed skill challenges, the length of single drives, and so on. The system will randomly generate achievements for you. In short, you need to complete each drive as best as you can because the system will determine your achievements based on various situations encountered during your drive."

"Huh?" Ye Qiu was stunned, then immediately saw a bend over 15 meters ahead, stepped on the brake, and the pickup stuck to the inner bend, drifting from the start of the turn to the end. As he returned to the straight road, the system’s electronic voice sounded in his mind: "Ding, Host completed drifting for a total length of 1300 meters, awarding 500 Experience Points."

"Ding, Host completed 30 inner-bend drift maneuvers, awarding 1000 Experience Points."

"Uh? There’s this kind of operation?" Ye Qiu realized that these so-called achievements are constantly being tracked, so he decided that from now on, he would aim for perfection in every drive.

Thinking about it, Ye Qiu opened his Attribute Panel with a thought.

Car God System.

Host: Ye Qiu: Level C Racer (system evaluation calculation results, cannot be directly compared to real-world racer level)

Popularity Points: 18500 (can be exchanged in the System Mall for vehicle parts, etc.)

Experience Points: 6053 (acquired through races, vehicle modifications, and system rewards, used to improve the five main Racer Attributes)

Spiritual Value: 100 (driver’s self-confidence)

Luck Value: 60 (driver’s luck, for example: anticipatory awareness and judgment of disasters, track incidents, and racecar accidents)

Physical Ability Level 3 (2700~6000): (Ability to drive for long periods without physical fatigue)

Strength Level 4 (6700-24000): (High mastery of steering, braking, drifting, fishtailing, turning, etc.; the higher the value, the greater the mastery)

Agility Level 3 (3035~6000): Decision-making ability on everything.

Spirit Level 3 (4597~6000): (Ability to remain highly focused during long drives; the higher the value, the less likely to feel fatigued)

Intelligence Level 3 (4079~6000): (Sharp control and judgment over tracks, opponents, incidents, etc.; the higher the value, the stronger the judgment)

Looking at how his Experience Points, after using Super Driving once and spending 10,000 Experience Points, had dropped to just over 2000, now back above 6000, Ye Qiu felt satisfied though it was still somewhat insufficient.

Glancing at his Popularity Points and other attributes, nodding in approval, he was surprised to see his Spiritual Value had reached 100.

"Fle, my Spiritual Value was 75 before, wasn’t it?"

"That’s correct."

"Which means I’m now stronger than when I was shielded by the light in Highway Hero."

"Naturally."

Ye Qiu took a deep breath, filled with anticipation: "Xirou, I’m slowly reclaiming what I once lost, wait for me..."

"Aik, maybe you’ve gotten stronger now, but I’m no slouch. You better hurry and climb higher because I’m chasing after you; if you slack off, you might be in for a big surprise next time we meet."

As Ye Qiu’s thoughts turned to Lin Xirou and Aik, his pickup truck had entered Z County and stopped at the entrance to Min Mountain.

After Ye Qiu’s pickup had stopped, a red Ford pulled up beside his truck, and Ye Qiu rolled down the window, saying to Cheng Jie in the Ford car, "Fatty, I’m heading home first."

"Oh... okay!"

Cheng Jie nodded but immediately wanted to ask something, only to see the pickup roar away and disappear in an instant.

"Hey, hey, Ye Qiu... wait a minute..."

Fatty watched the pickup disappear, sighed, and then sat in the car, falling into silence.

Today’s events were too unexpected for him.

Some things he thought should happen didn’t, and the results deeply shocked his spirit.

To the point where he’s still bewildered.

"Wow, I never thought Ye Qiu’s driving skills were so good, able to defeat Level C racer Wang Long?"

Cheng Jie thought back to when he used to show off his driving skills to Ye Qiu, feeling helpless. Suddenly, he thought about how Wang Jie was unwilling to face Ye Qiu’s challenge, puzzled: "Who exactly is Ye Qiu that even Wang Jie dares not race against him? Who is he?"

Cheng Jie felt deep curiosity about Ye Qiu’s identity.

"I heard from Dad that Ye Qiu’s father was also a racer in his youth, and his driving skills seemed quite formidable. Could it be that Ye Qiu inherited his skills from his dad?"

Cheng Jie frowned, then pondered for a moment before starting the Ford car to drive home, intending to ask his dad about Ye Qiu’s father.

...

After Ye Qiu parked the pickup at the door of his house, seeing the daylight already bright, he felt a bit helpless.

Today is Saturday, so he doesn’t need to attend school, but soon he still has to meet Luo Bing for a racer license evaluation.

"Sneaking in through the back door?"

Thinking about Luo Bing helping him sneak in and joking with him, Ye Qiu felt that Luo Bing wasn’t as cold towards boys as the rumors suggested. Instead, Ye Qiu found Luo Bing to be quite nice.

Thinking about Luo Bing, Ye Qiu got out of the car and stood in front of his battered pickup truck.

"Previously when I activated Super Driving, I received a prompt that this car’s engine is Level 4?"

Recalling the earlier prompt, Ye Qiu felt surprised at this moment.

He had to know, back when he was a Highway Hero, the car he drove was fully equipped with Level 3 parts, a top-level Level 3 race car, and even its engine was just Level 3.

It’s not that there were no Level 4 engines in Highway Hero, but Ye Qiu was then an SSS racer, a rank in racing, so he wasn’t qualified to drive Level 4 race cars or use Level 4 parts.

Let alone a Level 4 engine, which could fundamentally reform a car’s performance.

One must know that the engine is the most critical component of a car, and a Level 4 engine’s value isn’t just about being one level higher than Level 3; it’s that Level 4 engines aren’t available on the market at all.

Level 4 engines aren’t something a racer of his rank could use. Typically, racers using Level 4 components are at least at the Bronze Chariot King level.

However, nothing is absolute. Some Bronze Chariot King level racers can’t afford Level 4 components, so they still drive Level 3 race cars, but those at Bronze Chariot King level can indeed use Level 4 race cars and Level 4 components.

This would be a huge advantage for racers.

For example, if an SSS racer drives a top-level Level 4 race car fully equipped with Level 4 components against a One-star Bronze Car King, even if the Car King is stronger, but he drives a Level 3 car,

Although Bronze Car Kings are stronger than SSS racers, the outcome remains that the racer would win.

All because the racer was driving a Level 4 race car, which can make up for a gap in racer strength.

But then again, it’s also very difficult for an SSS racer to drive a Level 4 car. After all, it’s a vehicle that only racers above the Car King rank can drive.

"Fle, did the system just tell me this pickup has a Level 4 engine?"

Ye Qiu asked Fle through his thoughts.

Fle replied, "That’s right, the system doesn’t make detection errors."

"This, how is it possible? I’ve tested this car’s components before, and the engine is obviously just a regular engine."

Ye Qiu was puzzled. Although the power of this pickup was far beyond an ordinary one, he had indeed tested this pickup’s engine. Ye Qiu might not be a modification master, but he did know car engines.

"Maybe if you ask your dad, you’ll understand."

While Ye Qiu was wondering if he should check the engine again, Fle’s voice made Ye Qiu pause: "Ask my dad?"

Ye Qiu frowned, staring at the pickup, pondering: "Even the cheapest Level 4 engine is worth fifty million, and most people can’t even buy one. But from Fle’s words, it seems like my dad put the engine in the pickup. But does dad have such capability?"

Ye Qiu became even more puzzled: "But if dad didn’t install it, the pickup’s engine couldn’t be Level 4 either..."

After thinking it over, Ye Qiu decided to ask his dad, Ye Xiong.

"I wonder if dad is awake now?"

Ye Qiu walked into the house, heading towards Ye Xiong’s room, and thought to himself, "Will I get scolded if I go ask dad directly?"

Ye Qiu had some fear of Ye Xiong, perhaps a natural son’s fear of his father.

"Never mind, if I don’t ask dad, I’ll never figure it out."

Ye Qiu bit his lip and headed towards Ye Xiong’s room.

However, when he reached Ye Xiong’s doorstep, he suddenly heard faint sounds of moaning from inside.

"Huh? That’s a woman’s voice, and it sounds like..."

Ye Qiu, though ****, was familiar with things inappropriate for minors due to the widespread internet, so he instantly knew it was a woman doing that with his dad.

"This, I never expected dad to be like this?"

Hearing the woman’s increasingly louder moaning inside, Ye Qiu’s face grew redder, thinking about his mom far away in the United States, and felt a bit angry.

Looking at Ye Xiong’s door, Ye Qiu hesitated, then gritted his teeth and knocked, "Could you keep it down a bit?"

After Ye Qiu knocked, the room’s moaning and panting ceased. About a minute later, the door opened, and Ye Xiong stealthily peeked out before stepping out of the room.

Behind him was a woman with wavy red hair, her face flushed, looking charming. She was wearing just a bikini, her skin as white as snow, and her ample chest bouncing as she moved,

"Quick, put on your clothes!" Ye Xiong said to the woman.

The woman nodded and started getting dressed.

While Ye Xiong watched the woman pull on black stockings, her high-arched rear ignited a fresh heat in his abdomen despite having just relieved himself.

After hesitating, seeing no sign of Ye Qiu outside, he went over to the woman, embraced her, and just as she let out a soft gasp, he was about to start a second round.

Just as Ye Xiong buried his head between the woman’s ample bosom, about to start the fight, Ye Qiu, who had gone downstairs for a bite, returned and saw his dad hugging the woman, leaving him speechless.

Knocking again on the yet-to-be-closed door, he said to the startled Ye Xiong and the woman, "Dad, I can’t believe you’re like this..."
