Chapter 205: The Contestants Gather Together
"Roar~~~~~!!!!"
Following the roar, a crimson-colored car sped out from the entrance of the alley. As soon as it emerged, it crashed directly into the car parked at the entrance, flattening it like a piece of iron!
And it wasn't the kind of flattened like a pancake under a hydraulic press. It was the two-dimensional kind of flattened, as if the garbage cart had been turned into graffiti on the ground.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~~."
After exiting the alley, Bai Song turned the steering wheel sharply to the left and smoothly entered the roadway.
Seeing that they were now on the road, Tom stepped on the gas pedal forcefully, "Vroom, vroom, vroom!!!"
With just a slight release of gas from the car's rocket thrusters, the entire vehicle instantly accelerated, as if the action of accelerating itself hadn't occurred.
The cat, mouse, and dog-themed car accelerated like a speeding arrow, heading straight for the center building of the seaside amusement park.
Leaving behind the bewildered street cleaner staring at his now two-dimensional cart, utterly dumbfounded.
And also the curious onlookers who were initially shocked, but quickly pulled out their phones to capture pictures of the cat, mouse, and dog-themed car.
Passerby A: "Look! The cat on that car seems to be Mongrel Number One from the previous mongrel feud!"
Passerby B: "Damn, I bet on Mongrel Number Two in the red outfit last time, and I lost 50 points!"
Passerby A: "No need to think twice, there's definitely something fishy going on!"
Passerby C: "So what now? Is there another event?"
Passerby A: "Possibly!"
Passerby B: "Well, this time I'm betting on the opponent of that cat to win. Last time, they probably wanted to mislead everyone into betting on this cat, and this time they're definitely going to manipulate things to make the cat lose. So, I'm betting on the opponent of the cat this time, guaranteed win!"
Passerby A: "Bro, you're onto something! I'm following your lead!"
...
"Did I just crash into something? Was it an illusion?"
Bai Song wondered aloud, glancing back at the spot where he had exited the alley. However, he didn't see anything that had been smashed to bits.
Spike, positioned behind Bai Song, just shrugged its shoulders, indicating that it hadn't seen anything either.
"Never mind, I'm sure I didn't hit anything!"
Bai Song casually pulled his black headgear out of his pocket and quickly pulled it over his head.
With his face covered, he felt a lot safer.
Raising his gaze to confirm the distance to the 'EUO Super Deluxe Super Gold World's Number One Tall Uruk Tower,' Bai Song eased the tension in his heart a bit.
"At this speed, it'll take half a minute. Phew~."
Underneath the overly extravagant skyscraper, the starting point of the racing competition awaited. With the current speed of around 200 miles per hour, reaching there in half a minute was a certainty. Moreover, this speed wasn't even the limit; the car could still accelerate.
From his position at the third driving seat, Bai Song noticed that Tom hadn't fully pressed down on the gas pedal. He had barely pushed it down, yet the car achieved this terrifying speed. If he were to press it all the way...
The thought of that speed was enough to make Bai Song shudder. He couldn't help but feel relieved that he had a fractured foot from the previous day. If he had to drive on his own at full throttle, he might have just turned into a rocket and shot into the sky.
Even just imagining that scenario, Bai Song couldn't help but feel fortunate. It was a good thing that Tom was driving. Why would he insist on driving himself when Tom was available? Bai Song wasn't that stubborn.
In any case, thanks to this super-fast car.
So, despite Bai Song waking up at 9:59 AM, and the deadline for the participants to enter being 9:10 AM, he remained unfazed. Not only Bai Song, but Servants positioned in various corners of this 'EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise' also started making their way to the 'EUO Super Deluxe Super Gold World's Number One Tall Uruk Tower.'
The reason was simple: competition. Everyone wanted to be the first to arrive. No one wanted their secrets exposed before the others arrived; Servants abhorred revealing their information. If a Servant's information was fully exposed, it was essentially a death sentence.
Unless a Servant was overwhelmingly powerful, nobody would willingly allow their secrets to be exposed. Thus, it could be said that all participants in this race were soldiers on the brink of death, and they wouldn't arrive at the scene until the last possible moment.
Except for Bai Song, he was different. He... actually overslept.
After less than a minute had passed, Bai Song arrived at the scene, driving the F1-type, somewhat eccentric-looking car.
"We're here, it should be just ahead."
Sitting at the third driving seat of the car and looking down the super spacious main road, Bai Song could clearly see the starting point of the race at the end of the road. It was packed with a large crowd, so much so that he could barely make out the participating contestants.
Fortunately, there were people stationed to control the access to the starting point.
"Jerry, step on it! Tom, ease up on the gas!" As they neared the scene, Bai Song shouted to the cat and mouse.
He didn't want to wait until the last moment to slow down. If he made a mistake, he could end up crashing into a bunch of people. Just thinking about the scene of people raining from the sky was rather horrifying.
Upon reaching the entrance, Bai Song didn't need to show his 'freeloading pass.' The guards at the entrance, dressed somewhat like gangsters, lifted the barrier, saving Bai Song from having to stop the car.
Without any pause, Bai Song drove the cat and mouse car slowly through the entrance.
The scene was already filled with several uniquely styled 'vehicles,' and around these vehicles were the participating contestants.
As Bai Song entered, he immediately attracted the attention of the contestants who had already arrived. To be more precise... their hostility.
"Schrdinger has arrived, senpai!" Mashu leaned closer to Gudako and whispered as she watched the cat and mouse car approaching slowly.
Gudako clenched her fist, a fist that could easily pummel the Demon God King, and glared in Bai Song's direction. "I know!"
Upon hearing their conversation, the other contestants also turned their gaze towards Bai Song, their expressions a mix of unfriendly intent.
Bai Song started to scan the contestants who had already arrived at the scene. It was quite a sight.
And oh boy, what a sight it was. They were all familiar faces from the previous chaotic encounters.
