Chapter 5 - Chapter 2: Is This Really Your First Time Karting? (2)

So aside from the driver, the car is also equipped with a navigator to specifically record the race course and provide the driver with tips on the angle and road conditions of the next turn.

The information reported by the navigator is called: the road book.

In Qin Miao's system, there is no attribute for understanding the road book; all attributes are related to race track driving.

After narrowing down his future career direction, Qin Miao turned his attention to the specific data.

And that's when Qin Miao's blood pressure instantly shot up.

Why the hell is my qualifying ability so low? Why do I only have two points for long-distance main race?

I don't like rainy days, so I haven't practiced much in the simulator for rain, I accept the low score for rain battles, I can understand a score of ten, but why only two points for long-distance main race?

Actually, the system takes comprehensive considerations for this attribute; it calculates not only driving skills but also stamina, concentration, and a comprehensive score of many factors.

Luckily, when he reached the end, Qin Miao discovered his strength, which is a defensive ability that's as high as seventy points.

This made Qin Miao's blood pressure decrease a bit, but he still felt his temples throbbing fiercely.

The final evaluation Qin Miao found to be quite fair, and the overall rating was also quite normal.

After reviewing his specific data, Qin Miao took a deep breath and then summoned the system to open another item given by the system, known as the newbie package.

Although there was no one in the preparation area of the karting track and the [Yes] button was right in front of Qin Miao, he still carefully looked around, and, after making sure no one was there, he reached out and pressed the [Yes] button in front of him.

[Ding!]

[Newbie package opened, congratulations to the host for acquiring: Racing Fund 500,000 RMB, All Attributes +5, Passive Skill: Diligence Can Make Up for Shortcomings, Skill Slot: *1.]

Note 1: [Racing Fund: Legally arranged income by the system, but strictly for use in racing careers, usage process monitored by the system.]

Note 2: [Diligence Can Make Up for Shortcomings: When talent is insufficient, diligence makes up.

Skill Effect: Every completed lap will increase proficiency with the current track. (Proficiency has no upper limit)]

Note 3: [Skill Slot: Can equip already acquired skills.]

At the moment the system package was opened, Qin Miao felt some changes happening to his body.

Every inch of his skin itched unbearably, and his muscles felt an intolerable soreness, his head felt like someone pried open his skull and poured in a flood of knowledge.

Yet in this extremely stimulating state, Qin Miao's heart was unexpectedly calm.

Just as Qin Miao was about to cry out from the sudden intense feeling, it disappeared instantly, as if everything he just experienced was merely an illusion.

After his body returned to normal, Qin Miao exhaled deeply and suddenly felt a hint of fatigue; the day had been full of too many dramatic changes.

However, to put it another way, Qin Miao thought his system was quite generous; this newbie package truly was a "big gift package" in the real sense.

Just the Racing Fund alone made Qin Miao feel that this big gift package was worth it.

Because playing racing is notoriously expensive.

During races, just a few bumps can cost thousands or tens of thousands, not to mention the numerous consumables on a race car like tires, engine oil, racing fuel, engines, gearboxes...

You can imagine, from the moment you start the engine, every ignition of the engine's cylinder by the spark plug impacts the cylinder wall, reducing the engine's lifespan, every brake press wears the brake pads and calipers, even every gear shift wears the gears in the gearbox.

Therefore, racing is like burning money, and the higher the level of racing, the more money is spent.

This 500,000 solves Qin Miao's immediate financial challenges to some extent, but it still can't allow Qin Miao to completely let loose and play real racing.

Not to mention F1, a set of aerodynamic kits for a GT3 race car alone costs more than 500,000, if you count the body, frame, engine, gearbox, tires, the price of a car goes to millions.

However, it's still unknown how the system will actually deposit this money into Qin Miao's account.

The second +5 All Attributes needs no explanation, it just enhances all of Qin Miao's abilities, the intense feeling earlier must have been triggered by this reward.

The third part seemed a bit ridiculous to Qin Miao; as long as he had the time and sufficient money, he could just keep doing laps at the track he needed to practice on.

Maybe this skill will be fundamental to his establishment in professional racing in the future.

As for the last skill slot, Qin Miao, being a game enthusiast, can still understand it.

It's simply about equipping skills in this skill slot and allowing the skills to be in effect.

But Qin Miao had anticipated that he would have to carefully choose which skills to take into each race in the future, because the skill slot setup suggests that the skills he can take into a race are limited.

And Qin Miao felt that acquiring skill slots might be more challenging than acquiring skills.

Having closely examined the new system which was quite fresh to him, and having found no new functions, Qin Miao eagerly headed to the edge of the race track.
