Chapter 30: Chapter 24: Red Bull RingAlthough Qin Miao has a deep hatred for the concept of ten draws, he truly loves the system’s lottery. Because the system’s lottery isn’t like those online games where, in ten draws, besides the key item, everything else given to you is garbage. Even if the garbage is somewhat useful, its usefulness isn’t significant, basically like tasteless chicken ribs, hard to throw away but not worth eating. But the system is different; every item it gives in the lottery is useful and can be put to use, the difference is only in the degree of usefulness. What surprised Qin Miao was that after he maxed out the proficiency for the Spa map, the system unlocked an achievement, and this achievement, in turn, gave Qin Miao a purple lottery. It’s worth noting that the notification from the system stated: (Congratulations to the host on the FIA-certified Grade 1 track: xxx) What’s this? Through simple reading comprehension, a bold guess could be made, is it possible that as long as it’s an FIA-certified Grade 1 track, once Qin Miao reaches 100 proficiency, he can complete an achievement and get a purple lottery? Diving deeper, Grade 1 tracks provide purple lotteries, so do Grade 2 tracks provide blue lotteries? Grade 3 green, Grade 4 white and so on? Based on the information provided by the system, Qin Miao’s guess seems likely to be true. If this is the case, Qin Miao will spend a long time traveling to various racing tracks nationwide to max out proficiency for lottery opportunities. After all, even a white lottery item has already greatly changed Qin Miao’s life; what about a purple lottery? Will Qin Miao’s future change in ways that he and Qimeng couldn’t even imagine? Thinking about these, Qin Miao, who initially thought of maxing out Spa’s track proficiency to 100 and then log off to hang out with Qimeng, suddenly wanted to stay longer on the simulator. Qin Miao didn’t have any other ideas, he just wanted to raise another track’s proficiency to test his guess. At the same time, Qin Miao had another question in mind, if he maxes a track’s proficiency to 200 or 500, or even 1000, will there be more rewards? After all, this achievement was named "Spa Regular," are there higher titles like Spa Veteran, Spa Expert, and what rewards will the system provide for these achievements? But Qin Miao currently has no way to verify this guess, nor does he have the time. However, Qin Miao isn’t in a rush, since buying a simulator is already on the agenda, he will have the opportunity eventually. For Qin Miao at present, it’s relatively more important to test if the system really is as he guessed by maxing out a track’s proficiency to 100. Although Qin Miao doesn’t know the specifics of FIA-certified Grade 1 tracks, he knows Austria’s Red Bull Ring is definitely a Grade 1 track, and it’s the fastest single-lap track in F1. "Boss!" "What’s up?" Boss Zhou looked up from playing on his phone. "Can you help me switch the game to ’F1 2019’?" "Alright, do you need to switch the steering wheel? I happen to have an F1 wheel here." Qin Miao thought about it and then replied, "No trouble, this steering wheel feels comfortable to me." "Okay." Once the game was switched, Qin Miao turned off all game assists, chose the time trial mode, picked Mercedes’ W10, selected Red Bull Ring on the map, and entered the game. Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Let’s go! ... [Ding!] [Practice lap complete, Track Proficiency +0.65] [Current Red Bull Ring Proficiency: 0.65] [Simulator realism is 65%, gained proficiency is (1*0.65)] Codemasters didn’t do well with this game, the realism didn’t match Assetto Corsa. Feeling disgruntled about the reduced proficiency, Qin Miao cursed the developers of "F1 2019." But soon Qin Miao was relieved, although the proficiency gain was less than Assetto Corsa, it was better than what he got at home, and F1 cars are much faster than GT3. If playing Assetto Corsa on the Red Bull Ring map, Qin Miao’s average speed with GT3 is around 1 minute 29 seconds. But in F1? Race average lap time is around 1 minute 06 seconds. Qualifying is even faster, around 1 minute 02 seconds is quite normal. Comparing the times side by side, there’s no real comparison, in terms of time efficiency, F1 is clearly more advantageous. So Qin Miao chose to drive this track with an F1 car. While Qin Miao was furiously racing laps on the Red Bull Ring, Qimeng was browsing major forums on her phone to check for upcoming esports competitions. As she is prepared to be the pillar of support for Qin Miao’s growth journey, Qimeng was ready to take on the role of manager. Meanwhile, Boss Zhou was curiously staring at the monitor in front of Qin Miao’s machine, showing the game reflected from Qin Miao’s VR display. On his fifth timed lap, Qin Miao beat the fastest lap on this simulator, now he’s consistently overturning the records he set. Though each time Qin Miao improved his record by only 0.01~0.05 seconds, achieving this after pushing speed to the limit is remarkable. The purple fastest lap refresh notice frequently flashed on the computer screen. Always observing Qin Miao’s driving style, Boss Zhou curiously asked, "Young lady, does your boyfriend often race?" "Huh? He doesn’t exactly race, he has a simulator at home, he just plays on it usually." "That kind of simulator?" Boss Zhou pointed at the ordinary simulator without a G-force seat in his store. Qimeng nodded. Boss Zhou clicked his tongue in admiration, "Your boyfriend’s adaptability is impressive, this is his first time using this simulator with a G-force seat in my store, right?" "Yes." Saying this, Qimeng felt a bit proud, "He has competed in esports professionally." "What professional competition?" Boss Zhou asked again. But at this point, Qimeng couldn’t answer, although she knew Qin Miao had participated in professional competitions, she didn’t know exactly which competitions. She just spent quite some time browsing on her phone but couldn’t find any specific details on the competitions Qin Miao participated in, she would have to wait until Qin Miao finished on the simulator to ask him. "I don’t know, we’ll ask when he’s finished with the simulator." Qimeng replied truthfully. "Oh... How old is your boyfriend?" Boss Zhou asked once more. At this moment, Qimeng had her guard up, why are you asking about my Qin Miao? "Don’t misunderstand, I’m just a bit curious." Noticing Qimeng’s change in gaze, Boss Zhou gestured casually with a smile. "Eighteen." Despite being somewhat suspicious, Qimeng didn’t hide the information. Upon hearing this, Boss Zhou just nodded without speaking further, though his gaze became more serious as he closely watched Qin Miao’s driving on the screen.
