"Hmph, you're indecent!"
After hearing Lin Yan's words, Su Mojin cursed with a blush.
One wore a blue hat and a pink top, the other a pink hat and a blue top. They looked a bit strange, but it was immediately clear to anyone that they were a couple. And beneath Lin Yan's resolute features, even pink could be easily handled.
Su Mojin packed away the clothes they had taken off.
"Alright, we'll wear these today."
The clothes were nice, so she didn't plan on changing back. They went straight to pay. Lin Yan had no objections. Before leaving, they also picked out a set of couple's pajamas. The two sets of clothes cost a little over two thousand yuan. In the heart of Kyoto, this price wasn't too expensive.
...
Country R, an international racing circuit.
"Old man, I know what you're thinking. Put away those inappropriate thoughts. You should know that my agreeing to come is already helping you!"
Daniel sat on the sofa, leisurely sipping his tea, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the screen in front of him, which was playing a video of Lin Yan's race.
Hearing Daniel's words, the chief engineer, Ben Tian, sitting opposite him, coughed awkwardly. However, he was an old hand and quickly recovered his composure. This person was different from other drivers. Besides his extraordinary talent, he also had a characteristic: he came from a very wealthy background. Although not comparable to the one in China, it was close. He couldn't afford to offend him.
Thinking of this, old man Ben Tian couldn't help but curse. Nowadays, it seemed to be a trend for young masters from top aristocratic families to play racing.
"The hotel has been arranged for you. You can train here for the next period. If you need anything else, you can notify me separately."
"Mm, thanks."
Daniel nodded, his gaze never leaving the television. Suddenly, his brow furrowed. He picked up the remote and rewound the previous scene. Then, with a playful expression, he said,
"Old man, your Ben Tian R&D department is getting worse and worse. How can this car be so thoroughly outmatched by Ducati in a straight line?"
"..."
Emerging from the room, the chief engineer Ben Tian's face had turned as black as coal. Although Daniel had good character, his mouth was truly venomous!
"Master, who is this guy? He looks so arrogant."
Seeing that no one was around, the young apprentice who had been following him asked indignantly. In his opinion, his master had been half of Ben Tian's life for decades, and this guy dared to speak to his master like that.
Upon hearing this, chief engineer Ben Tian glanced at him, seemingly displeased with his attitude.
"Heh, kid, remember, there's always someone better, and there's always a higher heaven. No matter who or what you encounter, you must be careful and cautious. That young man just now has a considerable background. To put it bluntly, if he wanted to, he could buy a factory team himself. And with his skill, he has the right to be arrogant!"
"By the way, did you remove half of the electronic controls on that factory car as I asked?"
"I did, Master. I removed them according to your list!"
Hearing his master's question, the apprentice nodded repeatedly. Satisfied, chief engineer Ben Tian glanced at him with approval and walked off to inspect.
Following his master, the apprentice kept recalling his master's words: buying a factory team. Good heavens, that was equivalent to buying a motorcycle brand! How rich must he be?
Daniel's family wasn't as widespread as Lin Yan's. They only ran a small business, but it was a rather special one.
The young master of Tianqi Petroleum!
While eating, the apprentice picked up his phone and specifically looked it up, almost dropping his phone in shock. No wonder he could buy a motorcycle brand; it turned out his family was in the oil business.
He quickly ate a mouthful of rice and glanced at Daniel, who was sitting opposite him, eating and video-calling his wife. He couldn't help but feel a tremor.
One in the afternoon, at the starting line of the race circuit.
Several of Ben Tian's technicians pushed two RC213Vs out of the pit garage. Daniel and Reithner, fully geared up, followed behind the technicians. Once the bikes were parked, Daniel mounted the true beast of Ben Tian.
Two technicians also crouched down to wrap the tires with warmers, while others used computers to perform the final data checks on this purebred racing machine.
These two orange-yellow warhorses, codenamed RC213V, were designed to compete against the GP22.
One long exhaust pipe was positioned on one side of the tire, and the other was under the rear of the bike. Both front and rear wheels used MotoGP-specific 320mm carbon-ceramic brake discs and Brembo's top-tier four-piston calipers. Even the tires were Michelin's special supply.
RC represented Ben Tian's four-stroke racing motorcycles, 213 represented the third generation of their racing vehicles in the 21st century, and V stood for the V-type four-cylinder engine used. The entire vehicle was built by Ben Tian with massive investment and years of dedication. It was the symbol of Ben Tian's highest technological content and a true purebred racing machine.
It was no exaggeration to say that this bike was the culmination of the efforts of hundreds of Ben Tian's R&D personnel, costing nearly four million euros and with billions in R&D costs.
The entire vehicle weighed 158 kilograms and was equipped with a V-type four-cylinder 999cc liquid-cooled engine, capable of producing at least 250 horsepower. Its 0-300 km/h acceleration reached an astonishing 9.3 seconds!
What did 9.3 seconds mean? A liter-class purebred supersport bike like the BMW S1000RR in its stock condition needed at least over nineteen seconds for 0-300 km/h acceleration. This Ben Tian factory bike was more than twice as fast in straight-line acceleration alone.
Mounting the bike, Daniel caressed the mechanical beast beneath him as if it were a treasured possession.
"Some of the electronic controls on this bike have been removed according to your request. Remember to be careful when you go out later."
"Mm, thanks."
Daniel didn't look at the old man, but continued to gaze intently at the RC213V.
Seeing this, Ben Tian's chief engineer didn't continue to force his company. He turned towards Reithner and whispered in his ear,
"Later, follow him, learn from him, and build a good relationship with him. Although that guy is a bit arrogant, he's a good person. With your personality, you might learn something."
Reithner looked at the chief engineer Ben Tian, who was winking at him, somewhat bewildered. This was the first time he had seen the man make such an expression. He then returned to normal and nodded.
