Chapter 215: Bai Song's fake match!
"Roar? Look, everyone! Gudako, the contestant on track three, just had a crash!" As Red Hare flipped over, Gill enthusiastically began commentating on the live situation in World Three.
"Clearly, our adorable Gudako, after being knocked away by Schrdinger, no longer dares to compete head-to-head with them."
"So even when she surpassed Schrdinger in speed, she chose to back off."
"However, losing to Schrdinger in the collision doesn't mean Gudako is giving up completely!"
"As she approached Fujimaru Ritsuka, she decided to make her move."
"But... even with such a big target to attack, Gudako still missed. Yes, that's right, she even managed to miss Hippogriff, a target so large!"
"This Gudako is just a loser!"
Under the giant screens throughout the amusement park, the audience started discussing the situation.
"She missed even that? Unbelievable!"
"I bet all my remaining points on Gudako! Don't mess up, come on!"
"They're definitely rigging the match!"
..............
Back on track three, driving the Cat-Mouse-Dog Battle Vehicle, Bai Song effortlessly passed Gudako's rolling form that was slowing down rapidly. He turned to look at Gudako's team, still rolling.
"What a pose! Jerry, slow down!"
With a bright idea, Bai Song reached behind him and pulled out a vintage camera with "TOM" written on it. He aimed the lens at Gudako, who had both hands clutching Red Hare's neck to prevent herself from being thrown off by Mashu's efforts. Bai Song started snapping photos, "Click, click," taking pictures in rapid succession.
In a matter of three seconds, he pressed the shutter button over twenty times, the photos were pouring out.
Clearly, Bai Song didn't realize he was holding a camera from who knows which century of the last millennium. If he had known, he wouldn't have had the courage to take pictures at that speed.
Seeing that Gudako had rolled far enough that there was no angle left to take photos, Bai Song reluctantly placed the camera behind him and gathered the fallen photos inside the cockpit. Looking at these photos, Bai Song felt satisfied.
Once he had saved the world, if he could ever return to his own world...
He imagined putting these photos up on a subscription-based adult website. Wouldn't that be a lucrative way to make some "clicks"?
Thinking about the potential profits from those "freely obtained" photos, Bai Song had to hold back the urge to burst into pig-like laughter. But he had to restrain himself; after all, the competition was being live-streamed. If the entire Seaside Park audience saw it, his participation in future events might be in jeopardy.
"Tom, I'm ready, accelerate now."
Upon receiving Tom's instruction, Bai Song rubbed his hands together and then pressed the accelerator... just by half a centimeter. Don't ask why he was so conservative with the throttle; it was as if he didn't want to spend money on fuel.
There was a good reason for it, though. If he pressed too hard, the vehicle would undoubtedly take off. If that happened, Schrdinger might be penalized for an illegal move due to liftoff, leading to disqualification. Tom would have to shoulder the blame, and it would be a huge mess. Then, for a long time, Tom wouldn't be able to enjoy any delicious food.
If Bai Song had been a bit more ruthless, he would've thrown himself out of the vehicle, which would have been even worse for Tom. Just thinking about this outcome made Tom regret ever placing the accelerator pedal under his feet.
If only he had thought of the potential liftoff issue, he would have installed the accelerator at the back, in the shopping cart where Spike was, and let Spike handle the acceleration business. That way, even if they were disqualified due to liftoff, it wouldn't be Tom the adorable cat's fault. Not only would he be safe, but that annoying dog would also be kicked out of the housewhat a great outcome!
Just thinking about it, Tom was filled with regret. If he had known, he would've done it that way!
As Tom pressed the accelerator, the Cat-Mouse-Dog Battle Vehicle quickly recovered from its slowdown caused by the photography and started to accelerate rapidly. 200 mph... 250 mph... 300 mph!
Soon, the vehicle was picking up speed rapidly. At the same time, having learned from their previous experience, Spike held onto the shopping cart firmly to prevent being thrown out again.
With the engine's scream ringing in their ears, the vehicle surged forward and closed the gap that had been created between them and Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Hearing the sharp engine noise from behind, Astolfo's skin crawled, and he instinctively moved forward, getting closer to Fujimaru Ritsuka. Fujimaru Ritsuka also heard the sound and felt an odd sensation on their rear end.
However, in this critical moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't pay much attention to the odd sensation and immediately turned to look behind them. "It's that Servant!"
He remembered that this Servant had viciously rammed into Gudako earlier in the race, which indicated that they might be enemies. In other words, there was a good chance that this Servant was an adversary within this Singularity.
However, Fujimaru Ritsuka wasn't entirely sure. He had a strange feeling that this world's version of "Fujimaru Ritsuka" might be a bit... unhinged? After all, he had been attacked by Gudako just a moment ago. It was hard not to suspect that this Servant had also been attacked by Gudako due to some misunderstanding and was now retaliating.
Considering this possibility, even though Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed the Servant approaching, he didn't instruct Astolfo to attack. He believed it would be better to avoid unnecessary conflicts with potential enemies.
"Be cautious and try to keep your distance from him. If possible, avoid engaging in combat."
"Understood, Master."
As Fujimaru Ritsuka made the decision to avoid confrontation, Bai Song driving the Cat-Mouse-Dog Battle Vehicle had caught up. After all, a vehicle with four wheels was much faster than a Hippogriff running with two claws and two legs.
While Fujimaru Ritsuka observed Bai Song's movements, Bai Song also turned his attention to Fujimaru Ritsuka, contemplating whether to have Jerry use a weapon to strike preemptively. After all, this was yet another version of Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Bai Song was experiencing some Gudako PTSD.
However, as Bai Song pondered, an enormous shadow loomed from behind, approaching both of them!
