What Qin Miao didn't know was that after Qin Miao appeared behind him, Zhou Guanyu inexplicably found that the presence of the pink and blue F4 car behind him was unusually strong in his eyes.

No matter if you were looking for the braking point, watching the track, or checking the time gap between the cars, you could always feel that your peripheral vision could catch a glimpse of that pink and blue color swaying behind your car.

However, Zhou Guanyu had just woken up, so his mind was a bit slow. He only felt something was off but didn't think too deeply about it.

Qin Miao wasn't in a hurry either. Although there were several chances to easily overtake Zhou Guanyu, Qin Miao's main goal now was to test the effectiveness of his skills, so he didn't overtake but continued to stay behind Zhou Guanyu's car to pressure him.

Until Zhou Guanyu's pressure value increased to 37%.

It wasn't because Qin Miao stopped giving pressure, but because Zhou Guanyu missed the braking point and directly rushed off the track.

After rushing off, Zhou Guanyu's F4 car got stuck in the gravel and couldn't come out.

Exiting the game, Qin Miao curiously asked, "How do you feel?"

There was silence on Zhou Guanyu's side for a while, then a voice came: "I feel like I haven't fully woken up. Damn, when I was defending against you, I suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. It's like my defense in front of you is a joke, and the presence of your car is too strong; it always draws my attention.

The pressure of defending against your attack is really intense. Even if I know you might not overtake me, it's still the same... Overall, it's just weird."

Qin Miao raised an eyebrow, suggesting that despite the screen between them and Zhou Guanyu being in a relaxed state, his debuff still had some impact on Zhou Guanyu's mentality.

After gaining a clear understanding of his skill, Qin Miao felt more at ease. It at least had an effect, and it was stronger than he imagined.

Now Qin Miao was itching to try out this skill on the track.

After all, it was the first day of rest, and Qin Miao had been a bit tired recently. Today, he took a lazy day off, neither doing any physical training in the morning nor planning to practice driving in the afternoon. He intended to spend the whole day playing.

However, since he had just used the excuse of giving Zhou Guanyu some pointers to call him up as a sparring partner, Qin Miao brought Zhou Guanyu back to the track to run for over an hour. The guidance was sincere, sharing small details and techniques he only discovered after getting into F1 without reservation.

After an hour, Qin Miao immediately showed his true self: "Let's go, that's enough, time for CSGO!"

With that, Qin Miao directly ALT+F4'd out of iRacing.

Zhou Guanyu followed suit.

While waiting for matchmaking after logging into their Faceit accounts, Zhou Guanyu suddenly asked curiously, "Have you checked Weibo recently?"

"No, after the race ended yesterday, I flew straight back from Italy. When I found you this morning, I hadn't been awake long, so I didn't have time to pay attention to these things. Why?"

Zhou Guanyu nodded understandingly and explained, "You've completely blown up domestically. I can't say it's something everyone knows, but you could say everyone knows. At the time you won at Imola, seven out of the top ten Weibo hot searches were related to you.

At this rate, I guess even the domestic news broadcast tonight will mention your track performance."

"Where did you learn such a crappy metaphor?" Qin Miao retorted before saying, "Is it really that big? Just a circuit race win. I could understand if I got mentioned on the news broadcast after winning a world championship as that's a big deal, but I just won a circuit race. Our country isn't at the point where we need foreign recognition anymore."

"Do I need to lie to you? You know how hard it is to break from 0 to 1, and there are quite a few people in the country who haven't gotten up from kneeling. Your good performance can serve as a role model for them.

Moreover, doing well abroad plays a certain political role, showcasing our nation's traditional culture internationally.

In that case, there will inevitably be interviews with your family or friends that know you well."

Hearing Zhou Guanyu's words, Qin Miao believed a bit more, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, news broadcast is a show he grew up watching, and he was curious about how they would praise him.

The feeling was a bit like a child who has achieved something outside and knows that their family elders would be proud and publicly praise them.

"You can watch domestic news broadcasts abroad, right? I'll set an alarm to check it out later," Qin Miao said.

"I don't know, I've never watched it. Anyway, there's still time now, can't you just look it up online?" Zhou Guanyu replied.

"Okay, I'll check it after this game. The game has started..."

...

For the rest of the morning, Qin Miao didn't do much else. After setting the alarm and figuring out how to watch the news broadcast abroad, he and Zhou Guanyu delved into the ocean of games together.
