Chapter 318: I can't take it anymore!
```
Pop!
It happened so fast, almost too late to speak, the battle vehicle connecting the two halves of the body instantaneously split in two: Fang You in the front part was accelerated by the elastic force, while Xia Nuo at the rear part slowed down, successfully achieving vehicle separation!
"Wow, it's truly a high-tech battle car, there's even an ejection separation structure!"
"This must be every little boy's dream car! It's like playing Contra in the air! So cool, so cool, what kind of super black technology is this!"
The entire venue was instantly stunned by the miraculous operation of Xia Nuo and Fang You's sentinel battle planes, and Little Green gradually found her rhythm, passionately commentating on the side.
"Compared to other race cars, this one has two more chances: the number one driver challenges the high-difficulty slope, earning higher skill points, while the number two driver travels through the safer and more stable course, ensuring a stable arrival at the finish line in the end—as long as they don't explode at the same time, they won't lose!"
This setting of an ejection start was for Xia Nuo and Fang You to strike separately and gain higher skill points.
Fang You was concerned that Xia Nuo couldn't handle the high speed and that it would cause danger, so he suggested she take on the simpler, more stable slope.
Although the recoil from the elasticity would reduce Xia Nuo's speed, her power should be sufficient by the end—
Provided that it was Meng Qing pushing.
Fang You had noticed this at the start.
With Ayu's strength, it was clear that she wouldn't be able to support the ejection-start Xia Nuo to reach the end.
So, from the beginning when Meng Qing couldn't push, the race couldn't reach the most perfect outcome.
Xia Nuo's part started to slow down mid-course, and as she slowed, she obviously struggled to control the steering wheel.
The distance between Fang You and Xia Nuo grew increasingly larger.
...
At least one person had to reach the finish line; only then would they have a score, and everyone's efforts wouldn't have been in vain.
Even aware of this, Fang You couldn't help but subconsciously glance back at Xia Nuo, getting farther and farther away from him.
In that instant, he suddenly felt as if he had entered bullet time, with time around him slowing down.
Looking at Xia Nuo, who he had left far behind, Fang You was still thinking about methods of remedy:
If he slowed down and reconnected with Xia Nuo's vehicle, they might go slower, but they should have enough power to complete the course.
Moreover, if they managed to complete such a difficult driving reconnection operation, their skill points should increase significantly.
"I'm a Lv6 driver, it's somewhat risky, but I should be able to do it..."
It was at this time that Xia Nuo's shout broke Fang You's train of thought, propelling time forward once again.
"Keep pushing, You You!"
Xia Nuo, driving the number two battle machine erratically, struggling to keep it balanced, shouted loudly to Fang You:
"Don't you dare stop!"
"I'll catch up by myself!"
...
Afterwards, Fang You's state was like the "Absolute Focus" talent had been activated; he immersed himself in the act of driving.
"He's passed through the S-shaped super bend!"
"He's reached the bubble world, continuing to drive smoothly even after his vision was crazily obstructed!"
"We can see the skill level of the number one driver, arguably among the best in history."
"But at the same time, what's happening with the number two driver, starting to wobble on even ground! Is this some super natural-airhead contestant? Gonna flip, it's over, she's done for, number two driver! Gonna flip, gonna flip!"
"Wow, a very beautiful landing roll, avoiding all harm. Her flexibility is just too good!"
"Thirty-two seconds eighty-eight, let's congratulate the sentinel battle machine's number one driver for reaching the finish line!"
"It seems he can only experience the beauty of freedom alone!"
Fang You drove the number one battle machine steadily to the finish line, pulled the handbrake, and stopped beside a hay bale.
Fang You got out of the car, without paying attention to his final skill score, but instead turned around and looked back down the track.
Under the activation of "Breath Perception," the figure of a young girl emerged from the bubbles.
It was Nuo Nuo.
Even though Xia Nuo's number two battle machine had flipped, she had still climbed out and was running toward Fang You.
Excitedly, she ran toward Fang You, and he too stepped forward, seeing Xia Nuo stagger, he also broke into a jog.
```
Then, Xia Nuo hugged him flush in the face amidst everyone's cheers and carried Xia Nuo, spinning around twice.
"Yay! You're amazing, You You! We must have a high score for technique!"
But Fang You didn't seem quite as excited.
Though he wasn't usually very excited about anything.
The lack of excitement today felt a bit more intense.
"You You, what are you thinking about!"
Xia Nuo pinched Fang You's nose, "We won, so you should be laughing out loud! Be happy."
"Don't you feel it's a pity not to have run together to the finish line?"
"Not at all! If you made it, it's as if I made it too! Either way, we've won!"
Xia Nuo, with her arms around Fang You's neck, jumped up and down, "You're really awesome, You You! I couldn't have driven that car on the track by myself at all, the difficulty is so much greater compared to our usual practice. Now I finally understand why everyone was driving so poorly; the track is very steep, and there's a lot of water, making it difficult to drive..."
"But, luckily, none of that was a match for our You You, right!"
Her eyes brimming with laughter as she looked at him, Xia Nuo hugged Fang You tightly and jumped around, suddenly leaping up to wrap around Fang You like jumping onto a tree, and Fang You instinctively supported her too.
Following that, Xia Nuo greeted the audience from within Fang You's embrace:
"Thank you, everyone! Thank you for all your support and encouragement!"
Being physically close to Nuo Nuo was almost a constant from childhood, but maybe because of the skintight combat suit, today's swaying made Fang You acutely aware that his bodily response was a bit off.
Whether it was the gleam in Nuo Nuo's eyes, her reassuring words, or the somewhat odd but fresh fragrance coming from her...
Some things, most readers might have long forgotten, but the author still remembers.
Emperor Youyou as a child had drawn a Talent called "Endurance Technique" from the Joyous Man.
This had actually helped him improve various thresholds and tempered his personality, ensuring he wouldn't easily enter an emotive state.
This was also somewhat related to Emperor Youyou's usual demeanor of seeming calm and collected.
Generally speaking, nothing could fan his composure.
Just endure it.
But...
Now.
The current situation.
Had already.
Become unbearable!
Like being shocked by electricity, Fang You quickly set Xia Nuo down.
"What's wrong, let's keep hugging a bit more to celebrate!"
Xia Nuo pouted, slightly unhappy, and reached out to hug Fang You again, but Fang You clearly avoided her with great reluctance.
"I need to use the restroom first."
"All right... but come back quickly to celebrate together, okay!"
Fang You didn't respond to Xia Nuo, instead he immediately turned and ran off without looking back.
... Stay tuned with empire
It turned out that Ayu's costume design was indeed a size too small for everyone.
After this competition, Ayu needed to seriously reflect on her responsibility.
And think about the trouble and inconvenience she had caused for everyone!
