OBS Chapter 385: Collusion again?
Chapter 385: Collusion again?
The referee's starting gun rang out, signaling everyone that the race had officially begun. As soon as the signal came out, the cars on the track responded immediately, stepped on the accelerator, roared out from the starting point of the track, and rushed forward.
Fujiwara Takumi did the same, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. His car was specially adjusted according to his situation, and his driving skills have improved greatly recently.
Therefore, when modifying the racing car, he specially asked the technician to increase the horsepower and replace it with the latest engine, which is extremely powerful.
So, as soon as Fujiwara Takumi started, he was like a tiger with wings and rushed to the front in a flash.
The other racers were surprised to see how fast Fujiwara Takumi's car was, but they were unwilling to fall behind and followed closely behind him, stepping on the accelerator to speed up.
For a moment, many racing cars were crowded together, but each driver had superb skills and maintained a subtle distance to avoid any collision accidents.
Takumi Fujiwara's car accelerated extremely quickly, and he quickly broke away from the group of cars and led the way alone.
Since he occupied the first position, the track in front of him became wide and unobstructed, allowing him to race freely.
When Okuyama Hirono saw Fujiwara Takumi leading, he was not impatient, but smiled. It turned out that he had planned it in advance and arranged a "surprise" at the front of the track, waiting for Fujiwara Takumi to come.
Hirono Okuyama knew that Takumi Fujiwara had strengthened his car's power and expected that he would firmly occupy the first place at the beginning. The checkpoints he set were actually "tailor-made" for Takumi Fujiwara. If Takumi Fujiwara had chosen to be conservative at the beginning and stayed at the back of the team, Hirono Okuyama's plan might have failed.
But Fujiwara Takumi was determined to win, so he naturally tried his best to maintain his leading position. Unknowingly, he had stepped step by step into Okuyama Hirono's layout.
Takumi Fujiwara took the lead from the start and raced on the track.
Suddenly, an obstacle appeared in front of him. Fujiwara Takumi knew that this was common in world-class competitions. The bare track lacked appeal, and the appearance of obstacles was just the right opportunity to eliminate those less skilled opponents.
However, Fujiwara Takumi soon realized that these obstacles seemed to be designed according to his characteristics, and no matter how he operated, he seemed inevitable to collide with them.
Fujiwara Takumi had no choice but to force his way through. If he didn't do so, he would crash into the edge of the track, be judged as violating the rules, and lose the qualification to compete, which would be a big loss.
At this moment, Fujiwara Takumi can only pray for good luck, hoping that the vehicle will not be seriously damaged after passing the obstacle, so that he can continue on his journey to the race.
But Fujiwara Takumi guessed wrong. Those obstacles were actually specially designed for him by the designer commissioned by Okuyama Hirono.
If Fujiwara Takumi can easily pass these obstacles, then the designer's work would be in vain.
In order to demonstrate his design skills, the designer used the latest drawings to create a "customized" obstacle for Fujiwara Takumi.
In the eyes of the designers, this was a challenge "tailor-made" for Fujiwara Takumi, but Fujiwara Takumi felt that these were all designed to prevent him from winning the championship, and every detail was targeting him.
Fujiwara Takumi underestimated the power of these obstacles. After passing one level, he found that the front wheel was blown to pieces by the obstacles.
Because he was inside the car, he did not feel the tire blowout directly, but he vaguely felt that the vehicle's performance began to decline.
Then, Takumi Fujiwara activated the system to scan the car and fully grasp the current condition of the car.
After a quick glance, he was surprised to find that the left front wheel was broken and the right front wheel was also a little worn, but fortunately not seriously.
Fujiwara Takumi understood that although the car could still be driven, its performance had been affected. If it was not dealt with quickly, the speed would only get slower and slower, and the people behind would soon catch up.
The track is very long and there are several maintenance stations along the way, which are designed for racers to make emergency repairs in order to restore their vehicles to a timely condition.
Takumi Fujiwara noticed that the nearest maintenance point was some distance away, so he wanted to notify the mechanic there in advance and prepare the tools so that he could immediately check and repair the car when he arrived.
Then, he used the communication equipment to contact the maintenance team and said, "I am Takumi Fujiwara. There is something wrong with the car. Can you prepare the tools at the intersection ahead? I hope to fix the car there. Thank you very much."
But that maintenance team was Hirono Okuyama's team. They had received orders long ago to find excuses to shirk Fujiwara Takumi's problem, making him run back and forth, delaying time and making it impossible for him to maintain his advantage and win the game. This was Hirono Okuyama's strategy.
The maintenance team replied: "We can't come to the intersection to repair the car. If your car has a problem, please drive to our maintenance station so that we can help you fix it. Otherwise, you can only find a way on your own."
When Fujiwara Takumi heard this, he immediately realized that the maintenance team and Okuyama Hirono had colluded, otherwise they would not have said that. He was unwilling to do what they said, so he activated the system's ability to stabilize the car and continued to move forward.
Fujiwara Takumi quickly guessed that the people at the next maintenance station must have colluded with Okuyama Hirono. If he really went to the maintenance station to have his car repaired, it would be exactly what Okuyama Hirono wanted. Therefore, Fujiwara Takumi did not follow Okuyama Hirono's script, but relied on the help of the system to barely keep the car stable. Although the car was stabilized by the power of the system, the left front wheel exploded and the speed was getting slower and slower.
At this time, Okuyama Hirono, who had been following closely behind Fujiwara Takumi, saw that his speed had slowed down, and immediately seized the opportunity, stepped on the accelerator hard, and passed him. After passing Fujiwara Takumi, Okuyama Hirono smiled and muttered to himself:
"You're smart for not falling for the pit stop's trick, but if the car isn't repaired, won't the speed drop? You still want to beat me like this? You're such a fool, Fujiwara Takumi."
Fujiwara Takumi couldn't hear what Okuyama Hirono was saying, but he felt so frustrated when he saw the other driver overtake him. He chased after him closely, and although it was not easy to keep his balance with the system, Fujiwara Takumi's driving skills were enough to make up for this small problem. Soon, he adapted to the current situation of the car and started to accelerate. Even though the car was swaying, he took the opportunity to make the drift more smooth.
Okuyama Hirono saw Fujiwara Takumi approaching him through the bend in the rearview mirror and panicked. He was afraid that Fujiwara Takumi would overtake him in the bend and overtake him with that broken car. This would be an intolerable insult to the proud Okuyama Hirono...
In a hurry, Okuyama Hirono lost his grip on the steering wheel, his hand slipped, and the car spun several times. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Okuyama Hirono's car hit the guardrail and turned upside down. Fujiwara Takumi witnessed this scene and knew that Okuyama Hirono could not continue the race. The car was seriously damaged and it was impossible to turn it over and race again. Even if he could compete, seeing how Okuyama Hirono cherished his life, he would not take the risk.
