"Call me Liam..." the young man started to say his real name as his game name.

  Then it hit him, this was a game, he didn't have to use his real name.

  Just then, a movie scene popped into his head.

  It was from "Initial D." The movie that largely inspired him to become a racer in the first place.

  The scene that came to mind was Natsuki looking at Takumi with affection, saying, "Takumi, you're such a good driver."

  "Call me Takumi," the young man said, a smile creeping onto his face.

  "Takumi, choose your ride."

  Before the mechanic even finished speaking, projections of various racing cars appeared.

  The young man sank into thought, carefully selecting his car.

  Meanwhile, the other players, guided by the mechanic, were also picking their rides.

  Compared to the young man, these players were much more excited.

  They were shouting about the cool rides, all of which were the cars of their dreams.

  "Holy crap, isn't that the Aston Martin I've been dreaming about!"

  "Is that a Pagani Huayra? Does this mean I get to drive it?"

  "This is so awesome! All kinds of dream cars, and it's free! Where else can you find something like this?"

  In an instant, the racetrack was filled with rare and amazing cars.

  Even the world's best car show couldn't bring this many supercars together!

  The players were ecstatic, their excitement hitting a peak.

  "Alright guys, even if it's not the same car, it's the same track! Old Mike is leading the charge! Let's do this!"

  One car shot off first.

  Then others followed, engines roaring, unwilling to be left behind.

  And then…

  "Boom!"

  A series of explosions echoed on the track, like a night on July 4th.

  The fiery explosions of several cars quickly engulfed a large area of the forest, without the protection of the system, it would have extended for miles, devouring the entire mountain range.

  If somebody saw it, he would pat his knee and shout that this scene he is so familiar with!

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  One by one, players appeared at the respawn point, cursing loudly.

  "Damn it, I didn't even have time to react, I just drove off the track, and then I exploded!"

  "+1!"

  "Thank God it's a game, otherwise with this big fire, the Forest Ranger is gonna hate my guts!"

  Then the players got back into the respawned cars and started crashing into each other on the track, explosions happening all the time.

  You gotta admit, the players were turning a racing game into a goddamn terrorist attack simulator.

  At this time, the young man had finally made his choice.

  "I want the Porsche 919 Hybrid EVO!" the young man declared.

  His reasoning was simple: the record holder on the Green Hell in real life drove this very car.

  The performance of this car was at its peak.

  "Alright, Takumi, go check out your ride!" the mechanic said, waving his hand, as the garage door behind him slowly opened.

  A white, red, and black race car was slowly revealed.

  The overall design of the car was similar to a Formula One car, but with details that kept the Porsche look.

  It was a beast!

  The young man walked to the car, eyes wild, like an obsessed fan, kissing the hood and touching every part of it.

  "This is really a perfect car!" the young man said, nearly passing out from happiness.

  They say talent deserves beauty, and a sword should be given to a hero, so only a top driver gets to drive every top race car.

  Let alone the young man, whose racing career ended after a major accident.

  Even before the accident, he didn't have the privilege to drive such a top-level race car, even watching from afar was a luxury.

  But now the Porsche 919 Hybrid EVO was sitting right in front of him, his for the taking.

  The young man felt it would be worth it, even if he died at this moment!

  The ecstatic young man didn't realize that this was a game world, not reality.

  The 99% simulation was so high that the young man couldn't tell the difference between here and reality.

  He opened the door, sat down, and grabbed the steering wheel, about to start the car when he suddenly looked depressed.

  "My hands can't drive this car anymore!" the young man mumbled to himself.

  At this moment, his heart felt like it was being stabbed with needles.

  He finally had the chance to drive the car of his dreams, but he couldn't because of his physical condition.

  "Actually, this is good enough. It's half a wish come true."

  The young man told himself.

  He put his hands on the steering wheel and lightly stepped on the accelerator.

  Since he couldn't drive the car at full speed, he'd just drive slowly, to make the dream come true.

  But the moment the young man gripped the steering wheel, he suddenly felt something was off.

  "Why aren't my hands shaking?" the young man wondered, looking at his hands in confusion.

  Just then, he heard cheers from the other players.

  "Wait, this is a game!" the young man suddenly realized.

  He had forgotten that this was a game!

  In reality, his body had been badly injured and he could no longer drive!

  But this was a game!

  He was healthy in the game!

  The young man laughed and cried. "I don't know if I should call myself stupid or if the game is just too realistic. I didn't even realize it for a moment!"

  At this moment, the young man's heart was filled with a mix of shock and excitement, unable to express his emotions.

  The shock came from the game exceeding his expectations. It was almost identical to reality, worthy of being called the second world of mankind.

  The excitement was because he could continue to pursue his dream here!

  Since this game world was almost the same as reality, why did he have to tell them apart?

  He could just treat this as another real world.

  In this world, he had never been in a car accident.

  In this world, he could drive a top-level car on the Green Hell, competing with those who have set Green Hell records in real life!

  At that moment, a Ferrari drove slowly from behind, flipping the bird to the players, and shouted, "Are you guys slowpokes or what? Why are you driving so slow? Trying to eat my exhaust?"

  These words instantly angered the crowd.

  It was clear that the NPC driving the Ferrari had insulted the players before.

  The players were outraged!

  "Brothers, let's crash his ass!"

  "This NPC is such an a**hole!"

  "Get him!"

  The Ferrari came to the young man's side, raised a middle finger, and said, "Oh, look who we have here! A newbie driving slower than a snail! Bet you are sh*tting his pants from the Green Hell's reputation."
