How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 149 - 104: Greatly Enhanced Strength
Qimeng was not surprised to see Qin Miao come home early. She glanced at Qin Miao while enjoying her game of League of Legends and continued playing.
Qin Miao simply said, "I’m back."
Then he turned on his simulator and began practicing.
Technically, there was still a week before the race began, plenty of time for Qin Miao to easily increase his proficiency on the American circuit to 100. He didn’t need to rush.
But it’s important to know that a week later, the race isn’t on the American circuit but on Ferrari’s private Fiorano track.
Qin Miao doesn’t have the "Diligence Can Make Up for Shortcomings" proficiency bonus on the Fiorano track, so he can’t just run it on the simulator for a day or two like before to get a decent understanding of it. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
To achieve a good result in this test, Qin Miao not only needs to constantly familiarize himself with the track lines and braking points on the simulator, but he also has to find time to drive his 488 to physically experience the track.
Speaking of which, Qin Miao has been in Ferrari’s youth training program for four months, and he hasn’t walked the Fiorano track even once.
So while he has the time, Qin Miao decided to measure its length and details with his own feet.
With the assessment starting in a week, Qin Miao needed to prepare for it, so he didn’t have the time to visit the Ferrari F1 team’s simulator, and he chose to stay home in the afternoon to work on track proficiency.
Before dinner, Qin Miao finally achieved this goal, pushing his proficiency on the American track to 100 and earning enough for ten purple lotteries.
But Qin Miao didn’t rush to the lottery immediately. Instead, he responded to Qimeng’s call to dinner, and after eating, he cleaned up the table, washed the dishes, and went for a shower.
After doing all that, Qin Miao sat quietly on his bed, and when he was fully calm, he started the lottery in the system.
The ten consecutive purple lotteries were as flamboyant as opening cases in CSGO.
However, given that it was a ten consecutive draw, ten boxes appeared in front of Qin Miao, opening and starting an animation simultaneously.
Qin Miao was very calm now. Although not entirely indifferent to gains or losses, Qin Miao felt he could face all the rewards the system provided calmly.
[Congratulations on getting:
Man and Car Unity (Purple) *3
Free Attributes: 5*3
One billion Racing Fund *1
Purple Skill Upgrade Card *1
Passive Skill: Research Department’s Guide (Purple)
Research Department’s Guide: When equipped with this skill, the team’s skill average rating +10
Passive Skill: Best Pirelli Tyre User (Purple)
Best Pirelli Tyre User: Regardless of the vehicle, as long as Pirelli tyres are used, tyre wear is reduced by 30%.]
Qin Miao reviewed each reward from the draw one by one.
The first item was straightforward; Qin Miao still had two unused blue "Man and Car Unity" Skill Cards, but wasn’t sure what additional features the purple ones might offer compared to the blue ones.
The second reward was easy to understand too, granting five free attribute points to be freely allocated to Qin Miao’s attributes, totaling three grants, which means fifteen points to allocate freely, a crucial item for solving Qin Miao’s urgent needs.
The third item was simple and clear, requiring no further elaboration.
The fourth item was quite interesting. This item could raise any of Qin Miao’s skills to the purple grade.
With the grade raised, the skill’s effect would naturally be enhanced accordingly.
Qin Miao already had a general idea; if nothing unexpected happened, this item should be used on "Calming the Machine Soul."
Once this skill is upgraded to purple, it seems that as long as Qin Miao casts it, his car is unlikely to experience mechanical failures during races, and the car body might even be more solid than in a normal state.
At that time, the Golden Left front...
Ahem, went off topic.
The last two items were two purple passive skills.
The "Research Department’s Guide" skill left Qin Miao unclear about its specific meaning, as the description indicates it mainly enhances Qin Miao’s proficiency in team skills, but Qin Miao couldn’t find a sub-option for team skills in the system.
The other skill, "Best Pirelli Tyre User," was more straightforward, turning him into a tyre conservation master when using the specific brand’s tyres.
While others experience tyre exhaustion after seven laps on red tyres, Qin Miao could go nine laps before experiencing wear-out, and his tyres degrade nearly 30% slower than others.
Truly befitting skills from a purple lottery, despite the significant limitations, the skills’ effects match their constraints.
After roughly scanning through the lottery rewards, Qin Miao decided to first use the system-given 15 free attribute points to allocate.
At this moment, Qin Miao’s specific ratings were:
Overall Rating: 77.7
Stamina: 89
Mentality: 81
Stability: 85
Qualifying Ability: 77
Starting Ability: 71
Main Race Long Distance: 79
Tyre Preservation Ability: 65
Rain Combat Ability: 59
Attack Ability: 79
Defensive Ability: 92
Currently, Qin Miao’s highest score is in Defensive Ability, and the lowest is in Rain Combat Ability.
However, with the fifteen freely allocatable attribute points, Qin Miao didn’t bother with his unremarkable Rain Combat Ability.
