Chapter 580 Let’s Go Racing
"Have you got the stuff?"
"Here, where is the stuff I want?"
A secret deal was going on in the back garden of Nobita's house, with two short black shadows lowering their voices and talking hoarsely.
"Here, check the goods first."
Another black shadow took something and looked at it in the moonlight, "Five years of free Dorayaki meal coupons, yes. This is what you ordered, the zoom-in magnifier and the Gulliver tunnel."
Everyone guessed correctly, at this dark time, in a place where people's hearts turned away, it was Doraemon and Duran who were doing the secret deal. Duran's free Dorayaki meal coupons can always be exchanged for good things from Doraemon.
The zoom-in magnifier is about the same size as a flashlight, but the Gulliver tunnel is quite large, about the size of three basketballs. For a fourth-grade kid, the Gulliver tunnel is a big funnel.
As for why Duran needs these two things, of course, it is for driving practice.
The team has been ready at the fastest speed, but there are still some problems with the car. Duran has not intervened yet, so the team's car is still the old one, and it is basically impossible to qualify in the new season. In Duran's opinion, it is unknown whether such an old car can pass the certification of the World Automobile Association.
The team sold by Duran has no record at all. It has been mixed in inferior competitions. It doesn't even have a sponsor, let alone any good cars. If it weren't for the comet-like driver in their team several years ago, which gave them
an entry ticket to the World Series, Duran would not buy this team even if he was blind.
However, this entry ticket also made Duran spend more money than the average top team. The original owner of the team asked for a lot of money, otherwise the team would not have waited for Duran to take over this mess, but Duran is rich and willful.
Crossing time in the Doraemon world and then to the world of high-intelligence formula racing is just like using a cheat, skipping a lot of time. Now the World Series has entered the preparation stage, and Duran and Yong Haonan need time to test the car.
Unfortunately, the team members are all lazy and can't get excited about the new boss. They are even more disdainful of Duran's proposal to participate in the world competition. These two are indeed Chinese guys, with a lot of money to burn, otherwise they would not be treated as suckers by the previous boss, and they would not want to fight against the stone with an egg.
With this broken car from a few years ago, nothing can be done.
"Come on, you lazy bugs, the boss said that something will be delivered today, so you should be more careful." The team originally had five people, but when the boss changed, the driver and the original boss ran away, leaving only four technicians, just enough to change tires. The man in his thirties who spoke was the chief technician Jonathan. He has been engaged in racing for ten years and has worked in a first-class team. Unfortunately, there are too many talented technicians in the first-class team. He can't make it anymore, so he has to live in this second-rate team, but his heart still longs to return to the world stage and enjoy the thrill.
"Is it a new car?" Rob, the youngest of the four, just graduated from college and didn't know how bad their team was.
"You wish!" This is Charles, the laziest of the four, addicted to alcohol and gambling, and a slovenly person. His handsome face is covered by stubble, but he can still date girls in a row with his charming blue amber eyes. "I told you when you just joined the team, don't hold on to hope. Because this is a black hole that will absorb all hope and enthusiasm. Look over there..."
The person making the call in the pile of metal parts ruins is a slender lady. Her name is Tiffany, and she is also the second best technician among the four. She has a good appearance, an independent personality, and solid business ability. She just often secretly sells some parts in this team, and there are no other shortcomings.
"Among the four of us, only Tiffany has the most accurate view of the problem. Think more about your future. There is no future in this team, kid."
"Shut up." Jonathan couldn't listen any more, "And Tiffany, you should be careful and find out the new boss's temper. If you do this, you will be fired."
Tiffany covered the microphone of the mobile phone and turned her head and said, "I will pay attention. Be quiet. I am negotiating the price."
For the money-grubber, the others had no way to deal with it. Then they heard Tiffany talking to them again, "Will there be new parts this time? My client urgently needs a brand new suspension."
"Tell your client that it is illegal to modify the car like this! God, Tiffany, can't you let me worry less."
Tiffany turned a deaf ear to Jonathan's words, "Just tell me whether there is or not? That's it. I am an atheist, no, I believe in money."
"I don't know. The new boss didn't tell me what will be sent this time."
While they were talking, the truck had arrived.
Jonathan signed for the truckload of things and prayed in his heart that it was a new car.
Unfortunately, everyone was disappointed. The truckload of stuff was not new cars. Not to mention new cars, there weren't even any tires. It was full of toys. Yes, toys.
Toy tracks, custom-made by Duran, scaled-down tracks from all over the world.
"God!" Jonathan was completely speechless.
"It seems that our new boss is a fool. He seems to have made a mistake. If you want to participate in the children's remote control car competition, you don't need to buy a team." Charles laughed.
"Here is a greeting card. These should be gifts from the new boss to the children. Put it here for the time being." The youngest Rob still held hope, but the content of the greeting card made people despair.
Charles took the greeting card and said loudly: "Before I come back, please clear the garage and install all the tracks." The greeting card ended here, but Charles added a few words, "Wish you a Merry Christmas. This is a gift from Santa Claus. The toy track that the "Tianren" team needs most, hahaha!"
Jonathan also sighed. How smart can he be if he can be cheated by the original boss? Now it seems that he is not only not smart, but also has a very touching IQ balance.
After moving the things, the three adults left, leaving Rob alone to install the tracks. According to Duran's request, all of these were made of real racetrack materials, so they were very heavy. Rob was exhausted until late at night, but he fell asleep after installing only two tracks.
At this time, Duran and Yong Haonan arrived at the team using the Anywhere Door. Yong Haonan also brought a change of clothes. This time they would stay in this world for a while, to be precise, the entire World Championship, so that Yong Haonan would have enough time to acquire technology.
Because Duran and he both found that if they traveled through the Doraemon world as a transit, time was nothing at all. They had plenty of time to use. As long as they returned to the Doraemon world to correct the time, they could start from the beginning when they went to other worlds. It was simply a bug.
"Don't disturb him, let's test drive first." Duran used the shrinking and magnifying lamp to shrink the car and other parts and put them into the maintenance section of the toy track. Then set up the Gulliver channel to enlarge the big mouth so that adults can pass through. This channel can make people who pass through smaller, which is similar to the function of the shrinking lamp, but it is a gradual process, not as drastic as the shrinking lamp, which is unacceptable.
Duran entered the passage first and stood on the toy track, just like he was in a real race, except there were no spectators.
After checking the car, it seemed that the four people were quite attentive. At least the car could still run and was in good condition. He said to Yong Haonan who came later, "I'll run a lap, you keep the time."
Starting the engine and stepping on the accelerator, Duran's racing journey was about to begin. But he didn't seem to have a driver's license yet.
