Chapter 1 Lynn Enters the Dungeon

The moment Lynn entered the dungeon, everything went black. When his vision cleared again, he was no longer in the dungeon. Tall buildings surrounded him, and judging by the style, it seemed quite futuristic.

Looking around, he noticed advertisements for a racing competition everywhere. They announced that the 28th Annual City Racing event would begin in two days.

There was only one rule: on the day of the race, bring your beloved racing car to the starting point.

"Huh! So why am I here?" (|_・)

Just as Lynn was filled with doubt, a system notification popped up.

[System: Welcome to Racing City. You will be teleported to the small dark room shortly.]

[System: 1. The small dark room contains all kinds of racing car parts. The time ratio in the small dark room is one to twenty. You have twenty days to assemble as you wish.]

[System: 2. Please arrive at the race location on time. Those who do not arrive on time will be eliminated.]

[System: 3. There are special rewards on the track. Touch them with your racing car to obtain them.]

[System: 4. There will be a special reward for first place.]

[System: 5. During the race, all skills will be disabled.]

[System: Teleportation to the small dark room will begin in ten seconds.]

......

Listening to the countdown, Lynn was puzzled. "I don't understand anything about racing cars. I haven't even gotten my driver's license, damn it."

Just as Lynn was sighing, a small hand suddenly patted him on the shoulder. At that moment, the countdown reached zero, and the teleportation began immediately. With a whoosh, he was gone, leaving only the race advertisement board standing forlornly in place.

"Ouch!"

Hearing the sound, Lynn quickly turned around. Could there be someone else in the small dark room?

He turned around and saw a tiny figure sitting on the ground, looking shocked.

Lynn was filled with question marks. Where did this little girl come from? Second-tier strength, so low. Not someone from the dungeon, right? A local?

"Wah! Waaah!"

(⊙_⊙)?

Lynn watched as the little girl on the ground immediately got up and rushed towards the surrounding racing car parts, exclaiming "wah" every time she saw one.

Watching the little one exclaim and touch everything, Lynn slowly walked over and placed his huge hand on top of her head.

"Aaaaaah~~~"

Lynn, with a dark expression, looked at the struggling little one, slowly came closer, glared at her fiercely, and asked, "Little one, how did you get in here?"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Lynn: (⇀‸↼‶)

He directly covered her mouth, and watching her still making "woo woo" sounds, Lynn was speechless. "Am I that scary? I shouldn't be, right?"

"Hmm? You're still trying to attack me?" Lynn stretched out his hands and calmly watched the two small, short arms waving in front of him, but unfortunately, they couldn't reach him.

Seeing the little one finally quiet down, Lynn released his hand from her mouth and asked, "Don't shout anymore, or I'll spank you. And what's your name?"

Hearing about getting spanked, she immediately covered her butt with both hands, then opened her eyes to look at Lynn. After a while, she said, "Scumbag!"

Lynn: [○･｀Д´･○]

"Heh, what did you just say! Say it again if you dare!"

Lynn asked fiercely.

"Ugh~" Tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she stubbornly shouted, "Scumbag! You actually want to spank someone's little butt."

Lynn: (ᇂдᇂ)ﾉ┬─┬ノ┻━┻

"What the heck!" Lynn was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he picked up a racing car part from behind and waved it in front of her, watching her eyes follow the part constantly. Then he said, "Tell me your name, and I'll give you this part."

"Ah! Really? I'm Celia."

After Celia finished speaking, she jumped up and grabbed the racing car part from Lynn's hand, then giggled.

Lynn raised an eyebrow and looked at Celia. "That name... brings back bad memories." Then he sighed and said, "I shouldn't have saved you in the first place."

After sighing, Lynn picked up another part and asked, "So, Celia, when I was looking at the race advertisement, was it you who patted me on the shoulder from behind?"

Celia, having gained another part, nodded repeatedly, blushing.

"Alright," Lynn, knowing what was going on, ignored her and walked towards the racing car in the middle. Looking at the basic racing car in front of him, he was troubled. "What should I do?"

Headache, I don't understand anything!

Looking at the messy parts around him, he wondered if there were any instruction manuals or something. Lynn looked around, but couldn't find anything.

He didn't find an instruction manual, but he saw that Celia had already picked out a pile of parts and put them aside. "Hmm, I've got an idea!"

Lynn directly called out, "Celia, come here for a second."

Hearing someone call her, Celia raised her head from the pile of parts and looked at Lynn, then walked over with a puzzled expression, still holding her two racing car parts.

"What is it?"

Looking at Celia, Lynn asked with a smile, "Celia, do you know how to modify racing cars?"

Although she didn't understand why Lynn was asking such a simple question, Celia still replied, "Of course I do. Even a three-year-old knows how to, okay?"

Uh, Lynn felt insulted, after all, he didn't know how.

Shaking his head, Lynn said to Celia, "Listen, Celia, do you see the racing car behind me? If you help me modify it well, then you can take any of the parts here, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Celia's ears immediately turned red, and she shouted excitedly, "Ahhhh! Really, really?"

Celia: e=e=e=(#>д<)ﾉ

Celia came to the racing car and touched it, shouting as she touched it, "Can I really modify it?"

Lynn was about to speak when he saw Celia walk over with a disappointed look.

Lynn: [・ヘ・?]

"What's wrong? Why do you look so disappointed?"

Celia looked at Lynn and replied, "You're going to participate in the race, right? Then you should find those masters to help you modify it. I've never modified a complete racing car before."

"It might not be modified very well."

So that's what she was thinking. Lynn helplessly stroked Celia's hair and said, "What masters? I believe in your skills, Celia. Besides, there are so many advanced racing car parts here, aren't you going to assemble the best racing car yourself?"

Celia looked at Lynn and nodded vigorously, saying, "I, of course I want to, but I don't know if I can."

Lynn smiled encouragingly and said, "Celia, you definitely can. Go ahead, don't let my trust in you down."

Looking at Celia's red face and bright, sparkling eyes, Lynn smiled with satisfaction. "Perfect."
