The car stopped at a five-star hotel in the city, and Lin Yan, wearing sunglasses, led Su Mojin out of the vehicle.
They would be staying here for the night.
As dusk deepened, the sky gradually brightened, and it was the next morning. Everyone set off from the hotel again. For this competition, Lin Yan had brought all the drivers from his team to broaden their horizons and see what Asian prodigy drivers were like.
When the team set off again, they had already arrived in the northern part of Huaxia, where they were greeted by vast grasslands and continuous mountain ranges.
Riding their bikes and looking at the magnificent landscapes of northern Huaxia, Lin Yan and Su Mojin felt their spirits lift considerably.
Lin Yan was riding a kt
Behind Lin Yan and Su Mojin were Jiang Qiyan, Jiang Qimo, Yan Xiaoqiang, and others. They were also riding their bikes while admiring the scenery along the way.
"Xiaoqiang, look there, there's an eagle!"
"The air here is so good!"
"......"
Having stayed in Kyoto for a long time, the air here felt refreshing, and the entire team's speed naturally slowed down.
Since they had plenty of time, they decided to enjoy the surrounding scenery a bit more.
This vast grassland delayed them by a full day. It wasn't until dusk fell again that Lin Yan and his group exited Huaxia's borders and arrived at an edge city in Country E.
The name of this edge city was Tar City. Its area was about two-thirds the size of Modu, but its population was less than one-third of Modu's.
It was a famous tourist city in Country E and also the venue for the selection race and the main competition of the Prodigy Cup. The team drove into the city and stopped in front of a pre-booked grand hotel.
The members of the Ls27 team got out of the cars.
The Prodigy Cup had a relatively low profile, with not many spectators even during the competition season. Therefore, when Lin Yan and his group entered the hotel, there weren't many people inside. Only a few scattered individuals were in the lobby, mostly appearing to be tourists. Autumn in this region was cold, making it the off-season for tourism.
Lin Yan, as usual, wore sunglasses, and so did Su Mojin.
After passing the front desk and collecting their room cards, everyone headed towards the elevators.
The arrival of such a large group of bodyguards also caught the attention of the security guards at the entrance, but they dared not speak.
"What are these people doing, are they gangsters?"
In a corner of the first-floor lobby, a man and a woman were drinking coffee while looking towards Lin Yan's group.
"Drivers!"
As the man finished speaking, the woman beside him chimed in.
Both of them appeared to be Westerners, in their early thirties. The woman was wearing a gray coat, had golden curly hair, and sunglasses. The man was in formal attire, with his slightly curly hair neatly slicked back.
"How did you figure out they were drivers?"
The man was very curious about how the woman could immediately identify them as drivers.
"It's simple, their necks. Due to years of training, there's a patch of skin between the racing suit and the helmet that gets tanned. It's very subtle, but you can tell if you look closely."
The woman explained. In her opinion, apart from the couple at the front, the people following them should all be drivers.
"Then, should I go up and ask for their contact information?"
"Carter, if you don't want to get beaten up, don't go up. The person leading them is clearly their boss. With so many bodyguards, you'll get beaten to death by them if you try to get contact information."
The woman said. Hearing her words, the man could only prop himself up and sit back down.
As Lin Yan's group entered the elevator, the woman was about to look away when her gaze was suddenly drawn to Jiang Qiyan within the group.
A female driver?
The woman was slightly taken aback, then her eyes lit up.
She was more interested in female drivers than male drivers. She hadn't expected to encounter a female driver here. Could she also be here to participate in the Prodigy Cup?
"Young Master, someone is staring at us over there!"
Lin Yan looked back. The woman gave him a sheepish smile and quickly turned her head back.
"No need to mind."
Lin Yan said calmly to Li Wei and entered the elevator. Just as celebrities have talent scouts, racing certainly does too. Especially during the Prodigy Cup, their attire clearly indicated they were looking for talent.
However, teams that recruit talent in this manner were usually not top-tier. More established teams would have drivers approach them proactively; there was no need for this.
"Husband, the hotel here has a great view!"
Upon reaching their room, Su Mojin stood by the window and exclaimed joyfully.
"Mhm, it's quite nice."
Lin Yan lay down on the bed and started browsing the competition details for tomorrow's selection race on his phone. Currently, there were eighty-seven registered drivers, and more were expected tomorrow, bringing the total to over a hundred. Thirty drivers would advance, and these thirty would be the ones officially participating in the main competition the day after tomorrow.
To be scouted by a team, the most basic requirement was to enter the main competition. Only in the main competition would top teams take notice, but the slots were very limited, able to recruit at most five or six people, making the competition extremely fierce.
Huaxia had a scarcity of motorcycle culture, and Lin Yan was somewhat worried about the drivers on his team.
The fact that Lin Yan was worried was enough to indicate how formidable the opponents for Yan Xiaoqiang and the others would be in tomorrow's selection race.
This was a contest of prodigies from all over Asia. Although the drivers under Lin Yan had good talent in Huaxia, they might not rank highly in Asia. Lin Yan was confident about Yan Xiaoqiang and Jiang Qiyan, but Jiang Qimo and the other three drivers were likely to be in a precarious position, especially since Jiang Qimo was still injured.
After resting for a while, Su Mojin began to look at the post she had shared on the car yesterday.
Indeed, as soon as Su Mojin clicked on the profile picture, the post had exploded, with a dense flurry of comments.
Fellow Daoist, please stay; Where did this photo come from? Buddy, there's no source for this all over the net!
Zha Tian Bang Straight Man; Holy crap, this is the second photo of Brother Lin and his wife I've ever seen. The first one was from Brother Lin's place. Buddy, where did you steal this picture from?
Li Bai Who Loves Apples and Orange Juice; Buddies, don't just focus on the photos. Look at the words above. Good heavens, judging by the tone, could this be Sister-in-law's own account?
A Bit Salty Warlord Marshal: The little fangirl who is crazy about love, this ID really might be it.
Brother Lin's Number One Wife: No way, no way, I'm a little panicked, what should I do! (˃⌑˂ഃ)
......
The likes had already reached over a million, and some people were starting to suspect if this was Su Mojin's own account.
"Should I tell them?"
Looking at the speculative comments, Su Mojin turned to Lin Yan.
