992 He Was Already Intelligent, But Ended Up Being Even Smarter

Everyone was certain Zi Yi’s Team [Futuristic] would come in as the champions. After all, all the cars in the club were specially modified, so they were two times faster than normal sportscars.

Lots of people placed their bets on her club.

People started talking about which team would come in last.

“Probably Team H. I think it has the weakest team members.”

!!
“Not really. Gill from Team H is good at driving with short bursts of speed. He stands a good chance of turning around the race right at the end.”

“Maybe Team B then. Team B doesn’t have anyone who can do that.”

“Impossible. Team B came with two of their best racers this time. I think they might even come in the top three.”

…

Everyone kept speculating about the results. Every single team had their best racers, so it was impossible to figure out which one would come out on top.

Someone said, “Just follow the house. I’m sure it’s Miss Zi’s husband, Mr. Lu. She is brilliant, so it’s clear her team will come in first.”

“What if they randomly picked a team? Miss Zi’s man is very wealthy, so he doesn’t care about money.”

…

People waited and waited as they watched the bets until someone followed one of the bets. Shortly after, someone put money on the other bet.

This only served to affirm the fact that the house did not care about money.

A minute prior to the race, huge bets were placed on the teams from Country D and Country L.

Lots of powerful characters quietly watching the race wanted to follow the bets. But sadly, the bets had closed and it was too late.

The international racing competition officially started at nine in the morning.

When all the racers stood beside their cars, the crowd was turbulent with excitement.

The people in the grandstands consisted of each team’s fans. They had traveled long distances to get to the country to support their teams and were clearly wealthy people. Their cheering was very animated and loud, and thankfully, the race course was capable of withstanding all the activity. Otherwise, because the wild cheering was so great, it could probably make the grandstand collapse.

The moment the race commenced, people online went into a furor.

The cars from Zi Yi’s club were very high-tech and fully automated. The moment people saw the tech for her cars, people kept calling her until her phone nearly wanted to explode as she watched the race from backstage.

She could not be bothered answering the phone right now. So she transferred all her calls to the robot so that it could take care of them.

She was having a virtual call with Lu Jingye who was at home.

“Ah Jing, do you think he’s Runge?”

When Zi Yi tried to sound out the man, Lu Jingye guessed as much. He said with certainty, “Yes, he is.”

Zi Yi grinned. “I didn’t expect Runge to be such a good racer. Do you think he previously trained as a racer?”

“Probably not.” Lu Jingye investigated Runge. “He’s always been a prodigy. Regardless of the field, he was always good. When he was 15 years old, he forcibly activated his left brain, so he’s better than the rest.”

“Hmmm?” Zi Yi was a little surprised. “I thought he was a genius right from the start.”

Lu Jingye was tickled by her words. “He was already very intelligent, but he ended up being even smarter.”

“Ok then.” Zi Yi nodded. “Judging from his driving skills, it’s probably impossible to achieve it using his brains alone if he only started practicing recently.”

Also, Runge’s greatest edge was his strong body.

“One thing I don’t understand. Why did he show up as a racer?”

Zi Yi tilted her head and thought for a while. A notion suddenly emerged in her mind and she said, “Do you think he’s trying to get into my aviation research base by using another identity? He must have known I would choose people to enter outer space from all over the world.”

“Uh huh.” Lu Jingye agreed with her speculation. However, he genuinely did not like the man, so he said, “No matter what, it has nothing to do with us. You can let my brother handle things.”

Zi Yi could see how he felt about Runge, so she smiled and nodded. “Ok.”

She craned her neck and said, “Can you go closer? I want to see the babies.”

Lu Jingye went closer to the nutrient solution container just like she had asked.

He had been there since the morning.

Mrs. Lu had asked a master to select an auspicious time for the babies to come out of the nutrient solution. Since the time chosen was in the afternoon, Zi Yi went to the club on her own, leaving Lu Jingye and Mrs. Lu at home.

Other than Zi Yi, and the ones watching the international racing competition live at the race track, everyone else from the Dou family had gathered at the residence. They were all downstairs in the living room, with Mrs. Lu and Second Master Lu hosting them.

The babies seemed to sense they could come out of the nutrient solution today, as they moved a lot more than usual in the solution and looked excited.

Zi Yi laughed and said, “I’m sure they will be very good at swimming. Look at their long legs.”

Lu Jingye smiled while looking at them with complete indulgence in his eyes.

The two of them looked at the babies for a while before turning their attention to the race course.

The cars had already gotten to the hardest part of the race track.

Initially, Team [Futuristic] kept taking the lead. When they got to this part of the racetrack, people started pursuing them.

On the race track, it was completely legitimate to do something underhanded as long as it did not get out of hand.

“Wow! So many other racers are trying to block Team [Futuristic]’s car.”

“Even though Team [Futuristic] was a lap ahead of them, the other teams finally ran into them. Do you think the other teams can block Team [Futuristic] successfully?”

“Who knows? It really depends on whether Team [Futuristic] has the skills to do it.”

“Team [Futuristic] consists of rookies only. At a time like this, they might make mistakes.”

…

As people talked about the race, the thunderous sound of a collision could be heard.

Everyone broke out in cold sweat watching the car fly out.

The car spun in mid-air before falling on the side of the race track on its side.

“AHHH!”

“Oh gosh. Isn’t that Country L’s car?”

“I wonder if the driver is okay.”

“I recall the best racer from Country L was in the car, right? If he gets hurt, this is going to hurt them.”

…

As everyone speculated, a robot carried the racer out of the car.

Everyone felt relieved to see him.

“Is the racer okay?”

The commentator said, “Don’t worry everyone. The racer was only injured slightly on his arm. Other than that, he’s perfectly fine. However, he won’t be able to continue with the race.”

Everyone was stunned.

“Sure enough, Miss Zi possesses the most mind-blowing tech out there. Even after such a major collision, the car doesn’t seem badly damaged. This must be some kind of special safety feature, right?”

“I think so too. If the rest of the people in the trade were as smart as Miss Zi, no one would have to worry for their lives.”

“Oh wow! Check that out. They managed to block all the racers from Team [Futuristic].”

“Worse still, someone is accelerating and going straight for them.”

“Isn’t that car from Team D? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Why do I have a feeling that the car is equally fast? I’m sure it’s far more advanced than normal sportscars.”

“Do you think Team D’s car was also modified by Miss Zi?”

“Oh gosh! I recall someone placing a five billion bet for Team D to win right before the bets were closed!”
