Chapter 1210: Chapter 457: Behold My Hidden Backup Energy!
This is bad news, but the good news is that although no skills were given, the system provided a lot of attribute points.
Through the reward of 17 races, Qin Miao accumulated 25 attribute points.
At this moment in the system, Qin Miao’s Rain Combat Ability was still stubbornly stuck at 80 points.
Qin Miao could fully boost his Rain Combat Ability right now, and still have points left to upgrade other skills.
The reason why Qin Miao saved so many skill points is mainly that he is still growing; many attribute points are increasing, so Qin Miao thought it better to save these skill points until he hits a growth bottleneck before using them.
Now Qin Miao can use them just like when he plays single-player grind games, with a "ding" sound resonating with invincibility.
But Qin Miao definitely wouldn’t just use all the attribute points he’s painstakingly saved over nearly a year only to regress back to 80 points later, wouldn’t he be at a loss?
However, Qin Miao now no longer wants to give up today’s Japanese Grand Prix station race championship, so Qin Miao tentatively increased his Rain Combat attribute points from 80 to 85.
Instantly, Qin Miao felt different; the predictability of racing in rainy conditions he experienced before returned once more.
At least now Qin Miao has a clearer understanding of where the exact limit of tire grip is compared to when his attribute was at 80 points.
With the addition of these 5 attribute points, naturally, Qin Miao’s individual lap speed on the track showed a very noticeable improvement.
Five-Star Sports has been focusing on Qin Miao and Hamilton’s racing data. After estimating whether Verstappen behind posed a threat to the two, Zhou Haoran exclaimed upon seeing Qin Miao’s new lap speed.
"Qin Miao’s individual lap speed is actually 0.4 seconds faster than the previous lap?"
On the track, Hamilton naturally noticed Qin Miao behind him suddenly sped up. Although he was still cruising, Qin Miao is the only one posing a threat to his championship position today, so while racing, Hamilton is naturally constantly paying attention to Qin Miao behind him.
Then Hamilton, who had been preserving his tires, started to speed up; he thought Qin Miao felt his tire reserves were sufficient and was preparing to make a move on him.
Indeed, this is exactly the case, though Qin Miao added an extra five attribute points.
Simultaneously, Qin Miao also knew how difficult overtaking is in rainy Suzuka, so he gritted his teeth and invested an additional five attribute points, forcibly bringing his Rain Combat Ability score to 90 points.
The most direct effect brought was that after one lap, Zhou Haoran was full of bewilderment and disbelief: "Qin Miao’s individual lap speed is still increasing? Now Qin Miao’s lap speed is 0.4 seconds faster than the previous lap, even with Hamilton blocking in front!"
The Five-Star Sports commentators, who had assumed today’s Japanese Grand Prix station race championship had nothing to do with Qin Miao, immediately perked up upon seeing this situation on the track.
"Qin Miao! Qin Miao is picking up speed now, with 6 minutes until the race ends. He still has a chance to win the championship!"
"Now Hamilton’s tires are estimated to be worn out; compared to Verstappen behind, Hamilton and Qin Miao’s individual lap speed is slower by 1.7 seconds, but the time gap of over 24 seconds between them makes Verstappen merely a side character as two Mercedes drivers compete!"
On the track, Hamilton naturally noticed Qin Miao behind him was speeding up suddenly, catching him a bit off guard. Originally, Hamilton’s overall pressure level was at [24%], but Qin Miao’s speed increase suddenly raised it to [30%].
Qin Miao smiled slightly, finally making it uncomfortable for you to run!
"Qin Miao’s speed is up; seems like he’s preparing to make an attack on his teammate in the last stage of the race." Bing said with excitement yet a bit of concern: "It’s rare to see internal team battles in Mercedes on track these days, especially since the Red Bull team performances have improved this season."
"Let’s hope they don’t have any accidents while dueling on the track." Fei also said with some concern: "No matter what, running like this, Mercedes can steadily bring home first and second place."
Bing was about to say something sarcastic when Zhou Haoran hurriedly stopped him and gestured to the two older commentators.
After all, Five-Star Sports’ jinx is pretty much a label now. If at this moment Five-Star Sports’ commentators finish speaking and the two Mercedes drivers, due to internal rivalry, both retire, everyone at Five-Star Sports would be stunned.
Even though people usually just joke about it, should something happen, those seriously holding onto this matter may not let go.
The two were just a bit muddled from long commentary hours, but they haven’t lost their ability to think, so they quickly switched to other topics.
And the director was quite astute, immediately cutting to Toto Wolff right after Fei finished speaking.
This was the first time since the 2022 season started that the director gave so many shots to Toto during a Grand Prix.
