Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Rongcheng International Raceway

After using the Mid-Level Misfortune Talisman, Wu Yun didn’t pay much attention to its effects.

His daily life returned to its usual tranquility, aside from getting more stares than usual.

Wu Yun’s daily life was nothing more than attending classes, time management, and working out, so his days were quite full.

The weekend arrived as expected. Wen Meng had made plans to go shopping with her roommates, acting all mysterious as if she were plotting something.

Wu Yun didn’t pay her any mind. On Friday, he had sent a message to Xu Chenxi, telling her to book a hotel near the university and that he would pick her up from there at 8:50 AM.

By the time Wu Yun arrived at the hotel, Xu Chenxi was already at the entrance, gazing down the road like a wife waiting for her husband’s return, anticipating his arrival.

The roar of the Big Black Bull grew louder as it approached. Xu Chenxi’s mood lifted as she looked in the direction of the sound.

This time, Xu Chenxi didn’t make the rookie mistake of not being able to find the door handle.

Once inside the car, Xu Chenxi asked excitedly, "Honey, can I stay in the car later to experience what it’s like on the track?"

Wu Yun wasn’t sure about the raceway’s rules, so he said, "We’ll ask about the rules when we get there."

Wu Yun had heard of the Rongcheng International Raceway even before his rebirth. On track days, as long as you paid the fee, any licensed vehicle could go for a spin and enjoy a taste of speed and passion.

He had looked up information about the Rongcheng International Raceway yesterday and found that its specifications were quite high.

The raceway was equipped with a GP2 circuit, an off-road track, and a safe-driving experience course. It could host international and domestic car and motorcycle races.

The GP2 circuit was 3.331 km long, 12-22 meters wide, and had 14 turns. The main straight was 830 meters long, with a top design speed of 280 km/h.

Although Wu Yun wouldn’t be able to experience the Big Black Bull’s top speed, he could still fully unleash his Master Level driving skills.

The straight-line distance between the Rongcheng International Raceway and Shida Chenglong Campus was just over three kilometers. So, from Xu Chenxi’s hotel, it was only a ten-minute-or-so drive considering Rongcheng’s weekend traffic.

So, when Wu Yun arrived, only a handful of sports cars and modified cars were parked in the lot.

Seeing that Luo Heng’s car hadn’t arrived yet, Wu Yun parked and called him.

"Hey, schoolmate! You made it? Brother Wu—Wu Yong—is here too. Did you see him?" Luo Heng’s voice came through the phone.

"I’ll be there in a few minutes!"

Just as he hung up, Wu Yun heard a soft tapping on the driver’s side window.

Wu Yun turned his head and saw it was Wu Yong, the auto repair shop owner he had met once at the bar.

Seeing Wu Yong nodding a greeting from outside, Wu Yun didn’t put on any airs and opened the door to get out.

Wu Yong greeted him first. "Young Master Wu! You’re here bright and early!"

After speaking, Wu Yong saw Xu Chenxi get out of the passenger seat. Another beauty, with a different style. He wasn’t surprised by the antics of these rich kids, though, and simply nodded at her.

Wu Yun figured Luo Heng must have already told Wu Yong that he drove the Big Black Bull.

"Brother Wu! Is your car that Subaru?" Wu Yun asked, pointing to a lowered, modified white Subaru BRZ not far away.

"Yeah! Young Master Wu, we can only afford to mess around with modified cars. Supercars aren’t cost-effective for me, and buying one would break the bank."

"It looks great!"

Wu Yong chuckled. "Except for the body, which is Subaru, I pieced together everything else myself."

Wu Yong added proudly, "I’m not saying it could beat your Lambo, but it’s at least on par with a Porsche Boxster."

Xu Chenxi watched the two men talking about cars, not particularly interested in all the specs.

She linked her arm with Wu Yun’s and turned her gaze to the other cars around them.

Just then, a few more sports cars trickled in. Some flashy types would stomp on the gas after entering the parking lot, making their rides roar.

Xu Chenxi noticed one thing: eighty percent of the cars in the lot had a female companion.

People who knew each other gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing while waiting for the designated meeting time.

Just as Luo Heng had said, he pulled up and parked next to the Big Black Bull a few minutes later.

Just as Luo Heng got out of his car and was about to speak, a white Lambo pulled into the parking lot.

"That’s the club president’s car! He has several others. I’m surprised he drove the Lambo today," Wu Yong explained to Wu Yun, pointing out some of the important club members.

A man in his early thirties with a buzz cut and of average height got out of the white Lambo and started greeting the people around him.

Noticing the new face and new car in the parking lot, he smiled and walked over.

"Today’s gathering is paid for out of the club fees, including the track rental. If you were just coming to drive on your own, one session is 300 yuan."

Hearing Wu Yong, the man with the buzz cut who had just walked over smiled, extended his hand, and said, "So this must be your schoolmate, Luo Heng? Hello! I’m Wang Gang, from the Southwest Amateur Racing Club!"

"Brother Gang, hello! I’m Wu Yun. Just here to tag along today!" Wu Yun said, shaking Wang Gang’s outstretched hand.

Wang Gang was all smiles. "Hey, don’t say that! For this little bit of money, you could have brought a few more people and it would’ve been fine."

Luo Heng chimed in from the side, "Wu Yun, our annual club fee is only two thousand yuan. Brother Gang basically covers any extra expenses. So, what do you think? Want to join? We have events all the time! And it’s super flexible; you can decide whether or not to participate."

Luo Heng lowered his voice. "Besides, most of the people in the club are either from rich families or are rich themselves. Isn’t it a good idea to meet more people and expand your network? I’m planning to use these connections to start a business after graduation!"

Luo Heng didn’t know Wu Yun’s circumstances, but his explanation was sincere and to the point.

Wu Yun looked at Wang Gang, who was waiting for his reply, and said with a smile, "An offer this good? Of course I’ll join! Brother Gang, how do I pay the fee?"

Wang Gang waved his hand dismissively. "Let’s exchange contact info first. After the event, you can fill out the forms and then pay into the account designated for club fees!"

After adding Wu Yun on WeChat and getting his phone number, Wang Gang pulled him into the group chat, sent a welcome message, and then took a few steps forward to shout, "Everyone, quiet down for a second! Listen up!"

The once-noisy parking lot gradually fell silent. Wang Gang then announced loudly, "Let’s welcome our new little brother! And his Lambo!"

Many people had already noticed the unfamiliar Big Black Bull. Hearing Wang Gang’s words, everyone immediately broke into applause, and some even whistled.

Wang Gang waved his hand to quiet them down, then gestured to Wu Yun. "Wu Yun, why don’t you introduce yourself to everyone!"

Wu Yun wasn’t shy. He smiled and said loudly, "Brothers and sisters, my name is Wu Yun. The ’Wu’ from Wushan, and the ’Yun’ from ’cloud rain’!"

Wu Yun’s words made many people break into knowing smiles.

"My driving skills are pretty good, too! You could say it’s my specialty!"
