Chapter 258: Chapter 38: The Competition Reaches Its Climax

Korte quickly left Gu Xiaoxi behind!

Gu Xiaoxi drove calmly, pursuing at the fastest and most stable speed.

She was waiting for the right moment to strike.

At this moment, the race reached its climax.

Three cars from behind were also catching up fast.

Su San was so anxious he could hardly sit still, growing more and more unsettled by the minute.

Because the cars behind were about to catch up with Gu Xiaoxi.

If Gu Xiaoxi didn’t speed up, even second place wouldn’t be secure.

But from the looks of it, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t seem to even be trying for second place.

She maintained her steady pace, not surprised even when the three trailing cars caught up and overtook her.

"Yay yay yay!" the crowd betting on Korte to win immediately started screaming and jumping, loudly cheering.

"Mr. Xiao X is definitely going to lose, hahaha! Hey, you, the odds are ten to one, no backing out."

In front of Su San, the safe was filled with cash and checks.

His heart was on a roller coaster, almost getting a heart attack from following Gu Xiaoxi’s race.

Although he had great faith in Gu Xiaoxi’s abilities, he trusted his own eyes more.

What on earth was Gu Xiaoxi thinking! Why let those three pass and take her second place? No, by now Gu Xiaoxi had probably fallen to fifth place.

Korte was in the lead, with three people in front of Gu Xiaoxi besides Korte.

This was a painful process; the heart warmed then chilled, chilled then warmed, and warmed again only to chill once more.

Danny sat there, the blue of his eyes flickering with light that shone bright and then dim.

Gradually, even he began to have trouble guessing what Gu Xiaoxi had in mind.

By now, Korte had left Gu Xiaoxi a thousand meters behind.

It could be said that when looking back at the turns, Gu Xiaoxi’s car was no longer visible.

"Little shorty, thinking of winning against me! Wait until I grab the gold cup, then I’ll deal with you," Korte snorted coldly, weaving through the last seaside track and entering the technical track.

The three cars ahead of Gu Xiaoxi were also high-powered race cars with great performance.

The reason they fell behind was due to the crowded field causing numerous accidents.

They hadn’t timed their moves well and had been delayed several times by track disruptions, which ultimately cost them time.

The fact that they could catch up proved their cars and skills were excellent.

This showcased the advantage of high-spec racing cars; on a flat and broad track, their speed was 0.8 times that of a regular race car. This made it easy for Korte to pass Gu Xiaoxi and for others to follow suit and overtake her.

Gu Xiaoxi carefully remembered some old videos she had watched, all about the history of this race track.

Footprints and skills left behind by the heroes.

A calm smile surfaced on the corners of her mouth because the technical track was the true focal point of the entire race.

She finally knew what to do.

Only then did Gu Xiaoxi floor the accelerator, boosting her speed to the max.

The car, like a hurricane, roared angrily as it swept down the road.

After Gu Xiaoxi accelerated, she soon saw the three racers who were chasing Korte.

According to her calculation, Korte must not be too far ahead by now.

Because the technical track had many tough checkpoints that required time to navigate through slowly, one couldn’t just speed through them.

Take the special 48-degree turn for example.

Such a bend almost required cutting the throttle and then navigating the car through at the slowest speed.

Hence, without guessing, Korte was sure to be stuck at the first 48-degree checkpoint.

This was the first challenge of the technical track.

Sure enough, by the time Gu Xiaoxi made it there, Korte’s rear end was still jammed at the 48-degree angle.

He was naturally impatient, and even though he had practiced this type of track many times, under the pressure of the actual race, his performance was less than half his normal level.

He was affected mentally.

Behind Korte, three cars were stopped, each choosing lanes two, three, and four of the 48-degree turn.

All four available lanes were occupied.

Gu Xiaoxi advanced and could only stop her car at the entrance of the lane where Korte was, watching ahead with a mischievous grin, waiting for him to pass.

A minute later, Korte’s car was out of sight.

Gu Xiaoxi then started her car, taking the same lane as Korte. On the 48-degree track, she reversed 10 times in 30 seconds. Every three seconds, she could maneuver the car to a different position, and each time she moved forward or backward, she was accurate down to 0.05 meters.

Even the spectators outside the racetrack had to admit, Gu Xiaoxi’s move was very impressive.

In just thirty seconds, she had already passed the track.

She had broken the historical record!

Korte took nearly two and a half minutes, while she only took thirty seconds.

So, in the span of two minutes, she caught up with Korte again and closed the gap.

And the other three cars took even longer than Korte.

By the time those three cars re-entered the same track, Gu Xiaoxi was chasing Korte, with less than a hundred meters between the two cars.

Because after a 48-degree track, there comes a spiral slide-like track.

With a steepness of 50 degrees, the car had to brake slowly to slide down, and if not careful, it would slip and crash into the guardrails.

This was a very dangerous stretch of road.

Korte’s skills naturally weren’t bad, and for this race, he had practiced countless times.

He used the most stable speed to pass the track, and the spectators onsite gave him high praise for his driving skills.

But unexpectedly to the audience, right after Korte, Gu Xiaoxi followed closely behind and exited the track.

Everyone had to admit that her skills were better than Korte’s.

Even with lesser car power, she always managed to catch up with the speed difference through superb techniques.

Only now did the race organizers start to pay serious attention to Gu Xiaoxi, the dark horse who had been lying low in the crowd finally stood out.

After multiple confrontations, she used her agile mind to dodge danger, advancing step by step to the end.

"Now no one dares to guarantee who will win first. Let’s wait and see who will take today’s Gold Cup," the voice from the broadcast spread out.

The audience at the scene was divided into two groups.

One group was vociferous, stirring up a frenzied wave of excitement. These people were naturally rooting for Korte.

The other group, although not very large in number, had an incredibly powerful presence. They shouted out Mr. Xiao X’s name with the loudest voices they could muster.

At that moment, the race had reached its climax.

Because of the limited space on the fancy track, Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t overtake, but she followed Korte closely, never falling behind, and successfully maintained second place.

Another five minutes passed.

After braving countless dangers, finally, they came to a flat double track terrain.

Korte in front suddenly stopped and reversed.

Gu Xiaoxi closed her eyes, sensing the wind ahead for a moment.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, a triumphant smile on her lips.

A cliff!

Ahead was a three-meter gap of a cliff.

To jump over it, one must reverse and then use the momentum to make the car leap across.

The chance to overtake Korte had arrived.

Because she was further from the cliff, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t need to reverse, almost without thinking, she floored the gas pedal and the car flew out.

Korte only saw the blue and white car draw a beautiful arc, flying gloriously past him, effortlessly leaping over the cliff, and speeding off into the distance.

Fuck!

Korte’s heart was collapsing at this point. How could this happen?

Being in front wasn’t necessarily advantageous.

At least he discovered the cliff, then reversed back.

Gu Xiaoxi directly saved those minutes facing the cliff and even overtook him right then.

The race on the track had transformed, almost doing a 180-degree huge turn.

The spectators were all clutching their hearts, their faces red and necks swollen from shouting themselves hoarse.

At this point, Su San’s little heart was at a very exalted level.

Gu Xiaoxi, leading in front, wasn’t overly arrogant. She was still cautiously walking the final leg.

At this time, there were only about two kilometers left to the finish line.

The track pattern was ever-changing, but her face was serious as she analyzed every track thoroughly.

Soon, she left Korte 400 meters behind.

Success was getting closer and the subsequent tracks seemed to become simpler.

Gu Xiaoxi was curious. Shouldn’t it get harder rather than easier? She worried about a trick and slowed down.

A minute later, Gu Xiaoxi suddenly braked hard, looking at the road ahead, her face turned instantly grim.
