Chapter 208: I Declare! the Match Starts Early

As the countdown ended, the massive screen suspended in the sky displayed a golden-haired man with crimson eyes, dressed in leopard print.

"Ahahaha, we meet again at last! Today, I, the great one, shall preside over the event once more!" The golden-haired man waved his hand dramatically and proclaimed, "Finally, the first event of the 'EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise' is about to begin!"

"Since starting at 11 o'clock is just too long, I, the great one, have decided that the race will officially start at 10:30."

"Now, competitors, get into your vehicles and head to the starting line!"Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

After uttering these rather irresponsible words, Gilgamesh promptly logged off. The large screen in the sky began playing advertisements from various sponsors.

Observing the advertisements on the sky screen, Bai Song shifted his gaze away.

The angle of that darned screen was indeed tricky; it was practically right above him. After merely watching for about ten seconds, Bai Song felt like his neck was about to snap. If there were a review section, he would surely flood it with negative comments about this amusement park.

Of course, if giving bad reviews impacted his freeload, Bai Song would immediately change it to a five-star rating.

He rubbed his stiff neck and prepared to turn the key. He reminded the cat and mouse seated in the front row, "It's time to enter. Get ready to start."

This racecar couldn't be activated by one person alone; it required the simultaneous insertion of keys held by a cat, a mouse, and a human to start the engine.

"Wu Hu!" Jerry was ready.

"Aha!" Tom was ready.

"3, 2, 1, insert!" After counting down, Bai Song swiftly inserted the key into the body of the vehicle at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Hum~"

Simultaneously, she muttered a few complaints under her breath.

"Handing you the car and you immediately claim it's yours, but now that you've found a problem, you're quick to call it mine again, damn Saber!" Despite thinking this way in her mind, Soji decisively approached the cosmic vehicle.

"I don't believe it. Take a look." Artoria got out of the car and yielded the driver's seat to Soji.

"Let me see... Huh? Why is there no energy?" As soon as she sat in the war vehicle, Soji identified the reason for its failure to start.

Getting out of the car, Soji scratched her head and said with a puzzled expression, "Wait a minute, I just replaced the gemstone. This doesn't make sense."

"A gemstone?"

"Yes, this cosmic vehicle runs on gemstones filled with magical energy as its power source. One gemstone can last for at least two or three days of operation."

"Considering this is a race, I specifically asked your master Tokiomi for a fully charged magical gemstone early this morning."

Recalling her interaction with Tokiomi when she acquired the gemstone, Soji remembered how he assured her that the gemstone had never been used before. It couldn't possibly be a problem with the gemstone. Tokiomi wouldn't give her a gemstone without magical energy, right?

"Is this car even functional?"

"Since it's not an energy problem, it must be a malfunctioning engine. Just wait, I can probably fix it in two hours... maybe!"

"In half an hour... the race will already be over! If that's the case, why bother?" Hearing Soji's response, Artoria furrowed her brow, suspecting her teammate was playing a crazy act.

"What should we do then?" Anxious, Soji scratched her hairy head, now even more agitated than Artoria. If Artoria didn't drive the car, she wouldn't be able to blow it up and blast Artoria away. Her well-devised plan to sell out her teammate would go down the drain.

"Hey? Isn't that the King of Britain? Chatting with a mongrel here instead of heading to the starting line?" Following the voice, the two turned their gaze to see a blond, red-eyed man strolling over with his hands in his pockets.
