Chapter 560: Chapter 316: Reckless Race (Happy New Year)_1

The basic consumption of the Flight Spell is not high, ranging from 1 to 10 magic points per second based on flight speed. However, this only applies to ordinary flight mode and in the absence of any obstacles in a straight flight path.

Competitive flying requires a professional Racing Broom. When the Racing Broom’s high-speed mode is activated, its maximum flight speed and magic consumption doubles. In high-speed mode, high-difficulty manoeuvres, such as abrupt stops and turns when passing through obstacles, cause magic consumption to evaporate massively. Passing through each obstacle consumes nearly a hundred magic points!

Therefore, in competitive flying, the amount of magic stored is a critical factor for the competitors.

This is why flying competitions restrict competitors from using recovery items and magic. If replenishment of magic power is allowed mid-competition, everyone would have endless magic power and could continuously accelerate, eliminating the competitive nature of the game.

However, this rule only restricts Mu You’s in-game character and not his real-world self.

The game character has its disadvantages but has one advantage: it can work together with the real-world self. While competing in-game, Mu You can fully recharge his magic power in the real world.

Mu You quickly gathered all the magic potions stored in his ring. These were the spoils he obtained from defeating Rode and the White Clothed One before. They covered various types and sizes, numbering up to hundreds of bottles in total.

In addition, Mu You specifically changed his equipment from hats, shoulder guards, accessories, to belts, leg guards, and boots — all of which were the best magic recovery gear.

Now, his magic power recovery rate reached 31 points per second!

If this is still not enough, he still has the Fool’s Space he could use. With the Refresh Badge, he could open the Fool’s Space for 20 seconds a day, which translates to two hours!

With two hours, even only considering the passive recovery speed of 31 points, he could recover up to 220,000 magic points. If he couldn’t defeat the club leader with such an amount, then he admits defeat!

Once everything was ready, Mu You summoned his clone to watch the phone while he prepared the Fool’s Card.

[Under the guidance of Charles and others, you arrived at the Flying Club’s ’Flight Training Hall’.]

[This is a vast space created by the Space Extension Curse, with a standard competitive flying course set up within. The circular track beneath is filled with various and bizarre obstacles. Some are static, while others are moving, including wind cavities, fire rings, ice walls, saw-like structures, and so forth.]

[The remaining thirty or more members stayed in the audience stands while you, under Charles’s guidance, rode the broom into the competition field.]

["This is the tracking ball. Its maximum speed is 180 km/h. After the competition starts, it will automatically target contestants. Those who are hit by it will immediately lose their qualification. Therefore, during the competition, the flying speed of the contestants must exceed it." Charles held a leather ball with a mouth and teeth, introducing a basic rule of the competition.]

[You nodded in understanding and twisted the knob of the broom beneath you.]

[Your flying broom has been adjusted to racing mode, with a maximum speed of 270 km/h. Take note that the difficulty of maneuvering and evading increases at this speed. Please attempt a test flight under professional guidance.]

[You and Charles hover side by side in front of the starting line and signaled to the judges that you were ready.]

["Start!" With the waving of the starting flag, you and Charles sped away!]

[Several seconds into the race, the inferior performance of your broom showed, and you were left behind by Charles.]

[Charles turned back and cast a ’Deceleration Spell’ on you. You felt as though you were stuck in mud, your speed drastically reduced, and the gap with Charles widened instantly.]

[You came to the first obstacle. Charles passed this rock formation obstacle flawlessly with beautiful posture and stunning technique, scoring +1.]

[You tried to imitate Charles’s manoeuvre, but unfortunately you failed and collided head-on with a pillar, causing blood to flow from your forehead and seeing stars.]

[The tracking ball behind you has already caught up. Seeing you slow down greatly, it eagerly charged towards you as if it had found its prey.]

[You quickly adjusted the angle of the broom, accelerated to avoid pursuing attack, while also dodging approaching obstacles at the same time. You were in a difficult situation momentarily...]

...

The initial plot was as Mu You expected, with no game options popping up after the race started and was fully controlled by the game AI.

The resulting outcome was his opponent showing off his skills and he was going all over the place. None of the initial obstacles were passed without injuries.

The professionals are playing speed racing while he is playing Temple Run, with no thought being given to racing speed. He spent much of the race lock in a battle of wits with the pursuing Monster Ball.

The 2400-meter-long track sounds long, but with the broom’s high-speed flight, it only took a moment.

Soon, Charles finished his first lap.

[Charles crossed the finish line first, completing his first lap. Flight mileage score: 1 point. Lap speed is 40 seconds and 15, lap speed score: 9 points. Perfectly passed 21 obstacles, score: 21 points, current total score: 31 points!]

[Ten seconds later, while evading the tracking ball attacks, you crossed the finish line completing your first lap. Flight mileage score: 1 point. Lap speed is 62 seconds and 44, lap speed score: 0 point. Passed through 0 obstacles, score: 0 point, current total score: 1 point!]
