While inside the car, Henry could not help but ask, "Why did we take the car today? The race is not happening today, right?"
"Yeah. The competition is going to be on Friday night. As for me getting this car today, it is simply because we are going to participate in another competition, even though it is not the main one." Jack responded.
Of course, he had investigated about the races. He understood that from time to time, racing competitions would be held in the same venue that the big competition would be happening between the young masters on Friday night.
So, Jack had decided that it was better for him to go there on this day, so that they could get familiar with the place. At the same time, he could participate in a few competitions, so that they could win a few dollars. And with the multiplier effect, it should not be that difficult for him to be able to earn a huge sum amount of money.
In this way, when the day of the real competition came, he would be having a good amount of money that could be utilized in betting.
Jack had thought of the idea of going to a casino to gamble, after getting the skills from Henry's system. But in the end, he decided against it. Even though gambling was an easy way for him to be able to earn money, it was definitely not the best.
Not to mention that when Newton came to hear about that, he would definitely be unhappy with it. At the same time, considering the plan that they were having in the long term, it was better to make sure that they were not involved with something like that.
Of course, betting in the competition a few days later was also considered as gambling. But this time, it involved several young men, and it could be a little better as compared to going to a casino.
"So, which competition do you want us to participate in?" Henry asked curiously. He wondered if the ability of Jack's system had some kind of cooldown or anything like that.
"It's going to be the same venue. I have investigated a little about the area where the competition is supposed to happen, and there are several competition happening there occasionally.
I'm not sure if we are going to be able to get somebody to race against today, but it is not impossible for us to be able to find a person like that. After all, young masters are always visiting that place." Jack responded.
In any case, several young masters would be going there to practice from time to time, while preparing for the competition that would happen on Friday. So, it would not be impossible to find a small group of people, and arrange for a small competition between them.
Henry thought that this was a good idea. If they could earn much more money, then, it would be easier for them to be able to carry out the plans that they were having.
The two of them got Inside the Mazda RX9, before Jack began driving towards the direction of the competition. He was trying to get familiar with the car while driving, other than just enjoying himself.
A little while later, Henry seemed to have remembered something. He stretched his hand, and with a flash of light, something appeared on it. This immediately attracted Jack's attention.
When Jack looked at Henry's stretched hand, he realized that there was a small scroll lying on it. The scroll was golden in color, and about 15 cm long.
Henry handed over the golden scroll and said, "This is the skill that I purchased. To use it, you can simply think about it while holding the scroll."
Jack was surprised. He had thought that perhaps Henry had already purchased the skill, and used it on himself. But it seemed that he had been keeping it somewhere within the system.
Without hesitation, he picked up the skill scroll. Then, he thought about using the skill scroll. And the moment that he thought about that, a golden light suddenly erupted from the golden scroll.
Jack was forced to move the car to the side, as he could not drive with the skill scroll emitting such a light. He barely managed to get the car to the side, considering that they were now on a busy road.
The golden light of course attracted the attention of a few people, but they did not come over to see what was happening within the car.
The moment that the golden light erupted, Jack noticed that the skill scroll that he was holding in his hand suddenly began disintegrating. Then in the next moment, the disintegrated pieces of the golden scroll suddenly lodged themselves inside his head through the forehead.
Jack was not anticipating that, and had initially wanted to subconsciously dodge. But he realized that it was impossible for him to do that, as it was as if he was bound in place.
The moment that the golden light disappeared within the car, Jack suddenly felt an influx of memories. All of them were related to the car driving skills. They included several maneuvers that could be made, and how to react in several situations when driving.
Other than that, he felt that his muscles were twitching continuously, as his hands and other muscles became more familiar with driving. Muscle memory was also ingrained in him. And a few seconds later, the procedure ended, with Jack feeling extremely familiar with the car.
In his previous world, he was an expert when it came to driving. But the driving skills had all disappeared when he was brought into this world. And now, he felt like he was extremely good, though he could not compare the current level to the one that he was having before he was transmigrated into this world.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He realized that Henry was extremely calm in this situation. It seemed that Henry was already used to this, which was to be expected, considering that this was from his own system.
"I guess it is time to test out this thing." Jack stated with anticipation clear in his voice.
Henry had yet to react when suddenly, Jack started driving. The speed at which the car began moving at was high, and due to the high acceleration of the car, it easily reached a high speed in a very short time.
Jack was able to drive the car at a high speed on the road, while easily overtaking cars from left and right. This easily angered several drivers that were surprised and shocked when a car suddenly flashed past them.
As they cursed, they wondered who the young master was that was out here to cause trouble. Even though they did not like the arrogant way the car was being driven, they did not do anything.
Henry was also surprised. Even though it was true that the skill had come from his own system store, that did not imply that he was familiar with it. The driving skill that he had received back then when he was in his own world was completely different from the one in this one.
After all, the car that he was driving was related to combat. So of course, it possessed more features as compared to this one. Nonetheless, after the system had activated, he had received the intermediate driving skills, which was an ability of the system.
But looking at the way that Jack was driving the car, Henry understood that it was impossible for him to replicate what he was doing while using the intermediate level driving skills.
About 20 minutes later, they finally arrived at their destination. It was located in the outskirts of the city, not that far away from the campus.
This area was having several hills. These hills were quite huge, that they could even be said to be small mountains. Nonetheless, there was a racing track that was located here.
The racing track was constructed in between several hills. The area had been cleared out, and the racing track was built. It was quite popular within the city, even though it was not the only one present within the city.
When they arrived, the two of them were easily allowed to enter, especially after the security guards saw the car that they were driving. This was a Mazda RX9, that was modified in such a way that it could be used in racing.
After the two of them got inside the racing track called 'Winding Driver', they immediately noticed that there were several cars, together with a small crowd of people within the racing track.
Jack drove towards the area where there was the highest population. And when they got there, they realized that it was a group of fans that was cheering for the race that was already going on at the moment.
And when they arrived, they immediately attracted people's attention. After all, the car that they had come in was unfamiliar here, and more than that, those people wondered who it was that had come over today.
And when Jack and Henry alighted, the crowd immediately began whispering to each other. They were all trying to guess the identity of the two young men that had arrived, but no matter how much they tried, it seemed that they could not remember them.
Jack and Henry did not pay much attention to the crowd. Instead, they approached an area where several young men could be seen seated. It was obvious that they were watching the race happening on the tracks below.
