A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 122: You Have a Light Brain Number, Right?

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: You Have a Light Brain Number, Right?

The Imperial people, who had just been crying foul, were suddenly sidetracked.

Listening to the blood-pumping song echoing through the arena, they suddenly thought that this might not be so unacceptable.

Although the Imperial people disliked those from the Federation and were unwilling to accept individuals with mixed Beastman Genes...

...but she was just one female. She was so talented. As long as she was forbidden from marrying a male Beastman from the Empire and only sang here, it was actually quite acceptable...

Besides, almost everyone in attendance was a Flying Car enthusiast.

Most of them had seen the new anime, *Initial D*, that dropped yesterday and had found out that its creator was none other than Jiang Qin, the very person singing on stage right now.

’If she became an Imperial citizen,’ they thought, ’wouldn’t we be able to pester her for updates anytime we want?’

’If she goes back to the Federation, does that mean we’ll never see the ending??’

The thought was terrifying!!

A small group of people had even started a poll on the Star Network.

If enough people submitted the request, the Empire’s leadership would give the proposal serious consideration.

And so, for the sake of seeing the ending, many of the anime fans cast their votes.

Those who already liked Jiang Qin’s music but hadn’t voted for her on championship night due to their allegiances now cast their votes without the slightest hesitation.

If their allegiances were aligned, they wouldn’t have to face such a dilemma during the next season of *Interstellar Composer*.

Jiang Qin, now singing "Chapter" for the third time, had no idea that people were fantasizing about her changing her citizenship.

She was completely fired up at that moment.

Singing it once filled her mind with a defiant refusal to lose.

Singing it twice made the desire to shatter the heavens swirl in her heart.

Singing it a third time... well, to be honest, she now felt that if she just tried hard enough, she could bring the entire universe to its knees.

In the first round, Bai Mufeng gave it his all, finishing just two seconds ahead of the Myriad Races to take second place.

But the second and third rounds didn’t go as well. Although they used their skill to narrow the performance gap between the T500 and the T700, they still fell behind the blue Flying Car, only managing to take third.

After the total scores for all three rounds were tallied, the Federation was in last place.

As the venue emptied, the Federation Team’s Flying Car Drivers left, their spirits low.

Although Jiang Qin felt it was a shame, she was still full of admiration for them.

To be able to bridge the performance gap between the two Flying Car models with skill alone was already incredible.

After all, the Myriad Races’ Flying Car Drivers were no slouches either.

...

After leaving the arena, Jiang Qin didn’t go straight back to the hotel. Instead, she went to rent a filming location to finish up the last two episodes of *Initial D*.

Once she was done and had returned to the hotel, she uploaded that day’s three episodes to the streaming platform.

The members of the Flying Team, who had also returned to their hotel, all received a notification that a creator they followed had just posted an update.

Still feeling down, the group’s spirits finally lifted a little.

"Jiang Qin posted something. She’s the only one I follow."

"Me too. I only follow her anime account."

"Hurry, hurry, I can’t wait to see what happens next! Do you guys think Takumi can beat that Takahashi Ryoji? His skill is way better than his younger brother Kotaro’s, and his car is better too."

"Probably not. You really can’t make up for such a huge difference in car performance with skill alone..."

The comment seemed to remind everyone of that day’s race.

’Yeah, how can you make up for such a huge hardware gap with just skill?’

’Especially when there isn’t much of a skill difference between the drivers to begin with.’

Seeing his teammates getting dispirited again, Tao Haochuan quickly changed the subject. "Well, we’ll find out if he can win by watching, won’t we?"

Everyone had to agree. Although the facts were laid out before them, a glimmer of hope still seemed to flicker in their hearts.

’Maybe it’s not that it’s impossible, but that our skills just aren’t good enough yet?’

Clinging to this secret hope, they all started the three newly uploaded episodes.

Gu Tianyou, Bai Mufeng, and Lan Shaoyu had planned on returning to their rooms after the team meeting.

But since everyone had already started the anime, they decided not to interrupt and just watched along.

After all, with spirits so low, a little distraction was probably a good thing.

The sixth episode began on a highway late at night.

Takahashi Ryoji was on Akina, familiarizing himself with the mountain road.

Out of nowhere, a black 32 appeared behind him.

After the two raced for a stretch, they got out of their cars to talk.

Learning that the other driver was also after Akina’s 86, Ryoji wasn’t surprised. The praise he heaped on the 86, both overt and implied, completely ignited Nakazato Ikki’s desire to win.

The next day, he went to the gas station where Takumi worked and issued a challenge.

No one else was at the gas station at the time, and Takumi’s classmate and friend couldn’t resist bragging about his close connection to the 86.

As a result, he unintentionally got caught up in the conversation and accepted the race on Takumi’s behalf.

The 32 versus the 86.

No one thought the 86 stood a chance.

A hardware gap couldn’t be overcome by skill alone. That’s what everyone thought.

Even professional racers thought the same way.

’To win, you first have to own a good car. Then you have to modify it to make it even better!’

No one had ever heard of someone in a beat-up car overtaking a professional racing machine.

Gu Tianyou thought, ’Isn’t this exactly our situation right now?’

’So vintage car races are pretty similar to Flying Car races, huh?’

’So, will Takumi accept the challenge?’

’First of all, he’s not a professional racer. He’s not even someone who loves racing.’

’If he accepts and loses, his newfound fame would be tarnished immediately, right?’

’He might even be so crushed by the defeat that he’d become demoralized and never be able to race again.’

’After all, he’s still too green.’

Just as everyone was making their own wild guesses...

...unexpectedly, the very fact that everyone wrote off the 86 as inferior to the 32 was what ignited Takumi’s desire to win.

Despite his dazed exterior, a warrior’s spirit seemed to be hidden within him.

But then, something unexpected happened.

Because he hadn’t said he needed the car, his father had already taken the 86 out. Meanwhile, up on Akina, Ryoji and Nakazato Ikki had already arrived.

As Takumi waited anxiously, the people on the mountain were wildly speculating about whether he would even show up for the race.

Amu was so scared he wanted to get on his knees and confess. He wanted to tell everyone that he was the one who had accepted the race, that he wasn’t actually a member of the Akina Speed Stars at all.

That he was just a vain braggart...

It wasn’t just the characters in the anime who were anxiously awaiting the outcome; the Interstellar People watching were on the edge of their seats as well.

Would Takumi’s father make it back in time?

Would Takumi make it to Akina?

Could the 86 really defeat the 32?

With these questions hanging in the air, no one dared to even blink.

And then... the ending credits rolled!

The Flying Team members: ...???

"Aaaah, it’s over already? Oh my god, just kill me now, waaah..."

"Seriously? I was holding my breath, and that’s how it ends?"

Gu Tianyou was just as frustrated, when he suddenly seemed to remember something.

He turned to the tight-lipped Bai Mufeng beside him, his eyes burning with intensity.

Bai Mufeng shot him a cool glance, wondering, ’What is my friend up to now?’

’With a look that intense, he must be after something big.’

"Brother Feng... my dearest brother!

I remember you have Miss Jiang Qin’s Light Brain Number, right?"

In an instant, Bai Mufeng felt like he was being stared down by a pack of hungry wolves.
