Chapter 19: Creating a Hilarious Viral Video
"Five, four, three, two…" Katheryne began counting down, but when she reached two, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
The Traveler—Lumine, without a word, surged forward immediately.
"The Traveler actually jumped the gun! My signal flare hasn't even been fired yet!" Seeing Lumine take off early, Katheryne said with an expression of anger.
Just then, Lumine turned around, raised a finger, and gave it a little shake, her face full of disdain. However, the next second, an expression of astonishment instantly appeared on her face.
Ayaka Kamisato, Yae Miko, and Yoimiya had started their vehicles, moving in unison, and together they overtook Lumine's bicycle.
Seeing the three of them zoom past her, Lumine widened her eyes, looking at the retreating figures in disbelief.
...
[ Genshin Impact - Yae Miko: Stealing a head start is not very polite, little cutie! ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Mobius: As expected, a bicycle can't outrun these three vehicles, which look much more advanced from the outside. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Xuan Yong: Oh, is that so? Then let us wait and see! ]
...
"The three vehicles are moving in perfect formation, and now the Traveler is in last place… Wait, Arataki Itto is still at the starting line!" Katheryne became more excited as she spoke, but the corner of her eye suddenly caught Arataki Itto still standing at the start, and she said in disbelief.
"Hahahaha, my strength is already obvious; what's the harm in letting those Violet Melons run half a lap first?" Arataki Itto pointed arrogantly at Yae Miko and the others, who were gradually racing away.
But soon, he crouched down, looking nervously at his bull—Ushi—and said, "Ushi, what's wrong with your stomach? You were perfectly fine just a moment ago; why are you acting up right at the start of the race?"
But the next second, Ushi collapsed to the ground, passed out.
The scene shifted to our Traveler, with Paimon sitting in the bicycle basket, saying indignantly, "So annoying! Traveler, pedal harder!"
As the Traveler pedaled further away, the scene shifted again to Yae Miko and the other two.
Yae Miko slowly formed a hand seal and muttered, "True Eye, manifest!"
As soon as the words left her lips, a lightning-shaped shield instantly caused issues for Ayaka Kamisato and Yoimiya's vehicles, causing them to fall behind Yae Miko.
"Whoa, don't light my fireworks!" Yoimiya was startled by the sudden attack, then nervously turned her head to look at the fireworks behind her. Finding them unharmed, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Yae Miko is starting to exert her power; she has overtaken Ayaka Kamisato and Yoimiya to take first place, but isn't this speed a bit too fast?" Katheryne said excitedly, though her mouth twitched slightly at the end.
The scene slowly shifted to Raiden Ei, who was frantically devouring Tricolor Dango and Milk Dango, saying proudly, "After all, I spent the whole night charging that pink-haired fox!"
The scene returned to our three contestants. Ayaka Kamisato said with surprise, "Oh, is this an autonomous vehicle? Well, I'll let you run in front for now!"
After saying that, Ayaka Kamisato took out a long sword and tossed it into the parameter mass analyzer behind her.
The scene pulled up to the sky. Yae Miko was now firmly in first place, Ayaka Kamisato in second, and Yoimiya in third.
But the next second, as they approached a sharp turn, Yoimiya slammed the control lever in front of her downward and said with a smile, "Mind the fire!"
Yoimiya's vehicle began to spin wildly, instantly overtaking Ayaka Kamisato and arriving right behind Yae Miko.
Just then, Yae Miko turned her head and smiled at Yoimiya, then summoned a bolt of lightning that struck Yoimiya's vehicle.
A Superconduct reaction instantly sent Yoimiya and her vehicle flying, nearly knocking Ayaka Kamisato, who was following closely behind, off the track as well.
After letting out a scream, Yoimiya hurriedly stabilized her vehicle, looking indignantly at Yae Miko, who was still in first, and said, "Darn you, Yae Miko!"
Later, they arrived near a few Slimes, and the three of them simply crushed them into meat patties, not paying them much mind.
Just then, Katheryne, sitting at the judges' table, widened her eyes and said sternly, "Attention, contestants: wild Ruin Guards have suddenly appeared on the track ahead. Please mind your safety!"
The scene shifted to the Ruin Guards dancing happily not far away.
...
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Welt Yang: Although this robot is made of wood, it can actually function. What is the principle behind it? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Zhongli: I am not entirely sure. These Ruin Guards were manufactured by Khaenri'ah, a nation of ours that has already perished. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: This big robot is actually a farming tool? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Dainsleif: No. In the eyes of Khaenri'ah, land is not meant for farming; it is meant to be seized with iron and blood. That is why the Ruin Guards were named 'Field Tillers'. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: Land is not meant for farming, but to be seized with iron and blood? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Jing Yuan: Such an overbearing statement… it's actually quite similar to our Xianzhou Alliance. ]
After all, if you offend the Xianzhou Alliance, they never hold a grudge; they pay you back then and there. After all, the Reignbow Arbiter's longbow is no joke.
...
"Decree!" Watching the Ruin Guards dancing happily, Yae Miko calmly summoned a bolt of lightning, striking the Ruin Guard and freezing it in place, and she immediately took the opportunity to rush past.
The Ruin Guard, dazed by the lightning strike, looked back at Yae Miko's retreating figure and couldn't help but scratch the back of its head.
Just then, Ayaka Kamisato suddenly used her vehicle to summon a water orb, shooting it behind the Ruin Guard.
The Ruin Guard hurriedly turned its head, looking at Ayaka Kamisato in confusion.
"Excuse me!" Ayaka Kamisato then summoned an ice orb, instantly turning the Ruin Guard into an ice sculpture, and took the opportunity to dash past the area guarded by the Ruin Guard.
"Alright, let's just dash through!" Seeing the ice-sculpted Ruin Guard, Yoimiya was just about to rush past when an unexpected turn occurred.
The Ruin Guard, having been toyed with twice, instantly broke free, roared at the sky, raised its iron fist, and slammed it directly toward Yoimiya.
"Wait, this is for you!" Seeing the incoming iron fist, Yoimiya hurriedly raised her hand to stop the Ruin Guard, then turned around to find a Ruin Guard doll and handed it to the Ruin Guard in front of her.
Seeing such an exquisite doll, the Ruin Guard took it and began to observe it closely.
But the next second, the doll exploded violently, and because of this blast, the Ruin Guard's system malfunctioned, and it collapsed to the ground.
"Nice! My toy-style firework research is a success!" Yoimiya took the opportunity to rush past the area guarded by the Ruin Guard, turning her head to cheer.
As the race continued, Lumine, riding her bicycle, passed through the Slime area, crushed the last Slime, and arrived in front of the Ruin Guard.
