How Did I Become an F1 Driver?
Chapter 546 - 237: Tax Haven
CHAPTER 546: CHAPTER 237: TAX HAVEN
The next stop of the Hungarian Grand Prix is on August 1st, which is two weeks later.
And after the Hungarian Grand Prix, it’s the much-anticipated summer break for all drivers and team staff.
Qin Miao is no exception, although after every Grand Prix weekend Qin Miao has at least one day of rest, the high-intensity work and long hours of flying around the world have left everyone feeling fatigued. It’s time for a bit of rest.
Of course, everyone knows that the last shift before a rest is the hardest to endure.
But for Qin Miao, that’s something to worry about two weeks from now.
The night passed uneventfully.
...
The next day, Qin Miao got up with the reminder of his biological clock and instinctively reached to support his waist after waking.
At this moment, Qimeng was still sleeping soundly, and Qin Miao’s movements didn’t affect her at all.
Even with Qin Miao’s strong physique, he was supporting his waist this morning, which shows just how exhausted Qimeng was yesterday. Qin Miao remembers that this girl was so tired last night she was almost rolling her eyes back.
After getting up, Qin Miao tidied up the scattered clothes around the house and took a look at the cosplay costume that he had ripped a small tear in.
Slightly wistful, he blinked his lips. The material and feel of this costume were quite good, and it looked great on Qimeng, perfect replication.
Since it’s ruined, maybe I should buy another one later to have a backup...
After a simple tidy-up, Qin Miao went to the kitchen to make himself a bowl of egg noodles, passing off his holiday breakfast.
With yesterday’s late night, usually, after such a night, Qimeng wouldn’t wake up until noon, so Qin Miao didn’t need to prepare breakfast for her.
After breakfast, Qin Miao opened his racing simulator to familiarize himself with the Hengelo circuit.
This is a routine practice to maintain feel; nothing out of the ordinary.
After running for over an hour, the only racing-related activity for Qin Miao today was over.
Then came the part Qin Miao eagerly anticipated—the gaming session.
After being busy for so long, it was time to thoroughly enjoy this.
Turning on the computer, the scenes from last night’s gaming with Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc were still vivid in Qin Miao’s mind, and the itch to play games came back strongly.
So today, Qin Miao decided against going out fishing and instead opted to stay home and game the whole day until he was tired of playing.
Meanwhile, Qin Miao didn’t forget the fans who frequently urged him to live stream on his Weibo, so while turning on the computer, he also started a live stream.
Since it’s daylight saving time now, the time in China is 7 hours ahead of the UK, so it’s around 8 a.m. here and about 3 p.m. in China.
Although not as many people watch live streams at this time as in the evening, there were still quite a few.
So as soon as Qin Miao started the stream, quite a number of fans who were following him filled the stream.
[Caught you!]
[Look what I’ve found]
[Tearful, Qin Miao finally remembered his stream account password]
[The real Qin Miao!]
[Hey hey hey, isn’t this the British Grand Prix champion? Finally remembered us poor folks?]
[Grandpa, the streamer you follow has started streaming!]
[You finally decided to stream]
[You still remember how to stream?]
Seeing the barrage of playful commentary, Qin Miao didn’t mind; everyone knew this wasn’t his main gig. The teasing was more just joking around.
After setting up the stream and the chat software, Qin Miao started chatting casually with the stream audience while kicking off his CSGO killing spree for the day.
Skilled as always, he queued for a match.
Soon, a game began, and once in the game, even the teammates recognized Qin Miao.
Although playing in foreign servers, this was still quite novel for CSGO players to have an F1 driver playing CSGO.
And Qin Miao is a notable figure in the racing circuits; using a highly recognizable ID like ’qinmiao’ also made it unsurprising for him to be recognized.
Thus, at the beginning of the pistol round, a teammate handed Qin Miao a P250, emphasizing trust.
Qin Miao didn’t let the trust of his teammate down, and as soon as the game started, he scored four kills.
In Qin Miao’s stream, amidst:
[Cheat!]
[Lock head turned on?]
[Turn on is a cheat?]
[Turn off, not entertaining]
[Iron lock head]
his source of happiness for the day was uncovered.
...
Just as Qin Miao anticipated before starting the game, he spent the entire Monday doing nothing else. Once the stream was on, it stayed continuous, playing CSGO all day, eventually teaming up with four professional players for a rampage in the ladder.
Although Qin Miao didn’t strongly request to team up with professionals, his fame was bigger than many CSGO professionals. Professionals naturally wouldn’t pass up the chance to play with Qin Miao.
And to put it bluntly, if Qin Miao wanted, he could buy up most CSGO professional teams, including players, equipment, and even the training bases bundled together.
The day ended with Qin Miao playing almost twenty games without losing a single round.
After a small indulgence, Qin Miao returned to his familiar routine the following day.
