Chapter 27: Speed Expert, League Player?
“I don’t know if any masters have noticed, but now it’s really fully powered up. In this first match with six people, I can say that everyone except me is a Speed professional player.” Li Fan faced the live stream room, his previously goofy expression completely gone, replaced by a serious face staring at his monitor as he started the next match.
The match server has no dance waiting time; as soon as you queue up and enter, it automatically goes into the countdown phase.
So even for Li Fan, his spirit was now highly focused.
To be honest, you really can’t underestimate any QQ Speed player, even if you have a more leading running method, because their learning ability is very strong.
As long as they watch the recording and keep studying finger techniques, practicing it out is just a matter of time.
“Ancient City Secret Realm…”
Li Fan glanced at the map and took a deep breath.
This map is also one of the shorter maps.
As for the difficult parts, there actually aren’t any…
But to run at the limit, there are still many small details.
At least these players now don’t know them yet.
And the lineup in this match won’t be worse than the previous one; it might even be stronger.
Because if you keep winning, the system will match high-score players together.
Jiang Zhangchuang looked at Li Fan’s map in the live stream room and his own map, unable to help revealing a smile.
Because there was a high probability they would queue together again next.
He didn’t believe there was anyone more skilled than him; if there was, he would steal-learn it!
The remaining four people were also not to be underestimated.
Luo Wei, Xiong Mengqi, Cao Haoran, Hu Xu…
They too were eyeing the six points covetously.
The ssc champion bonus really isn’t worth much, only ten thousand yuan.
From this, it’s not hard to see that Tencent is indeed quite stingy with its games.
However… the rewarded crown is valuable.
A crown can easily be sold to a boss for fifty or sixty thousand.
Besides that, there are some paid competitions where the winner takes all.
It looks like gambling, and it is gambling, but since it’s hosted on Penguin’s side as an event, it doesn’t count as gambling.
Of course, this requires decent strength, because even if you’re the Car King, you wouldn’t dare say you can win every such match; you need big brothers and bosses behind you…
But none of this is said openly.
Strong QQ Speed professional players can still earn quite a bit of money.
After all, with no worries, if you run poorly someone covers for you, and if you win you split the bonus.
Li Fan directly chose Super Start; with many people, it’s best to prioritize stable.
This way, he didn’t rush out first.
He even got bumped by a car on the side, didn’t drift much on the first corner, and fell slightly behind by one section.
In this situation, it was quite troublesome.
To catch up, he had to consider if the drivers behind would cause trouble.
But these people all exploit any gap…
This was a bit tricky.
However, Li Fan wasn’t anxious.
“As a driver, there’s a very important quality, which is the ability to follow the car and find opportunities…”
While saying this, on the second corner he held the inside line, directly blocking the person behind who wanted to overtake back.
Then on the ramp he directly used Song Qian Card Gas, followed by a Super Drift to overtake the two cars in front, rushing to first place.
Now the Speed players in the live stream room couldn’t be bothered arguing with League of Legends players and started asking questions one after another.
【??? What was that? So fast!】
【How did he pass? Instantly rushed to first? Don’t get it?】
【Can this guy actually run like that?】
【I can tell you guys are just audience from behind; last week I already saw it, but I still haven’t figured it out. The streamer said Super Drift can only be used on acceleration strips, but there’s no acceleration strip here…】
He had already successfully pulled ahead by one body length.
Li Fan said unhurriedly.
“I’ve explained this spot to everyone before: when entering the path, directly pull a cww small boost, then fly toward the middle of the ramp on the left.”
“This is where the Song Qian Card Gas I mentioned earlier comes in; it’s very simple—just lift the finger connected to your keyboard from the forward key!”
“As long as you can do this step… the subsequent operations can continue.”
“Then at the moment you fly out from the second ramp, tap a small boost again, and speed will max out. So I easily completed the overtake here, and not only that, I also successfully got a nitrogen. After landing, another Song Qian Super Drift and you’ll be as cool as the streamer.”
“Now he’s fully broken out, so they can only eat taillights behind the streamer.”
Jiang Zhangchuang had originally been running in first place…
As long as he held the position and let the ones behind clash, the six points would be secure.
But his pupils suddenly contracted!
“What?!”
He didn’t even have time to react; he only felt a phantom-like figure suddenly cut in from the side rear, on the section he thought was absolutely impossible to overtake.
That area combining ramp and corner flashed past his car, instantly pulling ahead by two car lengths.
“This… how is it possible?”
That position, that speed… completely defied his understanding of this map and the game’s car speeds!
Because in QQ Speed, each car’s speed is fixed.
Without mistakes, overtaking more relies on detail overtakes.
This kind of violent overtake…
Was just like watching Li Fan run Spring before.
Extremely exaggerated.
And completely different from what he thought, that super drift needed an acceleration strip.
Unreal this guy definitely figured out these mechanics.
Aren’t you a League of Legends professional player? How did you study QQ Speed so thoroughly?
He found it very hard to understand…
But he didn’t have more time to think.
The cars behind had already caught up and started bumping.
If it continued like this, even second place might not hold.
But now there’s a video; after today’s match ends, study it properly.
Anyway, keep the video, study frame by frame later; with his learning ability, learning it would be very simple.
Practice more…
Wasn’t it the same at the beginning, slowly improving skills like this?
Thinking back to enduring humiliation to learn techniques, calling everyone big brother.
It was just points selection; as long as points are top eight, the offline race offers a chance to get revenge.
Jiang Zhangchuang took a deep breath, held the inside line, and blocked the cars behind.
But in that instant delay, Li Fan had pulled an absolute lead of over five or six car lengths and sped away.
Then the distance kept widening.
Because the fighting behind didn’t affect the front, it entered individual time trial phase.
Li Fan easily ran a 1:16, securing another six points…
