Too Good for You The Ex-Wife You Lost novel Chapter 177

The two modded cars were presented before everyone.

Externally, they looked identical, as only internal modifications had been made, and the modified areas weren't extensive. Otherwise, two hours would have been just enough to generate the modification plans.

The three judges, including George, circled both cars several times and tested them over and over.

George commented as he inspected, "The difficulty of this modification lies in the constraints of the stock hardware. Squeezing out performance within safe thresholds truly tests the modifier's design approach."

Many guests who initially knew little about modification, along with the livestream viewers, began to understand after George's explanation.

Of course, they weren't foolish enough to think the challenge was easy just because Noelle made it look effortless. They'd all seen how Team Moriane anxiously sweated through every second of it.

Soon, the three judges gave their scores. All three awarded Noelle the highest marks.

After reviewing Team Moriane's modifications, Larry gave the highest score of five, while Joseph and Albert both gave scores of three.

Team Moriane was unsatisfied with the judges' scores. Bruce fixed Joseph and Albert with a stare and questioned, "On what basis did you judge and give these scores? I believe our modifications are every bit as strong as hers."

Tom from Viper Group agreed. "You can't favor Quake just because we're Morianese. That's unfair to us; is this how you treat guests who have come from afar?"

Their defiant attitude made it clear they refused to accept the judges' result, and Noelle couldn't hold back a laugh as she looked at them. "Gentlemen, don't tell me you simply can't accept losing?"

Team Moriane was immediately speechless, while she coldly continued, "I'd like to know why the judges gave me high scores, too. Judges, could you explain?"

Joseph's expression was grave as he began. "I'm speaking strictly from my expertise. I may not be a modifier, but I'm well-versed in racing.

"Quake used an auxiliary controller to manually intervene and address the insufficient preload pressure of the bypass valve spring. That alone set her apart. Did you not notice that your setup had a 0.3-lag in boost response?

"Besides, her car ran flawlessly even with worn piston rings."

Albert calmly chimed in, "Otherwise, we could test the horsepower again in a high-altitude, low-oxygen environment. The air-fuel ratio and adjustment capabilities of the two cars would definitely show different performances."

Martin from Overlord Group furiously snapped, "Don't go too far!"

Noelle helplessly shook her head. "Am I going too far? I just don't want your trip to be in vain.

"If you win, you can demand a wager, too."

Bruce's eyes lit up. Maybe this deal wasn't too bad, after all.

Warren, the head of the Morianese military who'd been silent all this time, looked at Noelle and declared, "If you lose, you must agree to one request from us."

Noelle shrugged. "That depends on what the request is. It has to be within my capabilities, right?"

Warren calmly announced, "If you lose, you'll come to Moriane with us."
