Chapter 1420: How Could It be So Similar?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the evening…
Zhang Yan finished her work for the day. After having a simple dinner at home, she went to her computer and prepared to drive.
Previously, many people had doubted online that he would continue to drive in the game after driving for the entire day. How addicted was that!
Now, Zhang Yan could confidently reply them: That’s the addiction!
Of course, even though she had to concentrate on driving in ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’, Zhang Yan felt that driving in reality was labor, and driving in the game was entertainment.
Even though this seemed a little incredible to some people, gamers who had truly experienced the fun of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ felt the same as Zhang Yan.
“We’ll be able to fight for the racetrack tomorrow after running the passenger car today!”
Zhang Yan took some time to apply for a driver’s license. The driving experience of driving a large van was very helpful to her.
Needless to say, driving a long distance passenger car was obviously different from the fun of a large van.
The fun of driving a large van was mainly to control the car behind the car. That was because if the large van wanted to transport more goods, the back of the car would become longer and longer. How to turn or collapse the warehouse while dragging such a long car was definitely a technical job.
Once there was a mistake in the operation, it would be good if they could use the power rod or a fire hydrant when they turned the corner. At most, they would lose money. If there was a situation where the corner of the road was stuck, it would be over. The rescue services in the game were not cheap.
However, the longer the car behind him was, the more goods he would get, and the stronger the sense of achievement he would feel when he reached the finish line!
The long distance car was another kind of fun. It could fully utilize the operating panel in the set meal.
Unlike large vans that were only transported between two points and did not need to stop midway, there would be many boarded and left guests on the way. For example, in an hour’s drive, a batch of passengers would be released every ten minutes.
At that time, parking, switching, and car doors had to be done by players.
In addition, the big van only needed to pay attention to the driver himself, but the long distance passenger cars had to pay attention to the entire car.
In addition to parking at the station and switching on the car door, players had to pay attention to the situation in the car and adjust the temperature of the air conditioner. They might encounter an emergency where passengers would press the parking button. At that time, they had to find a suitable place to park. In addition, they had to change the movie playing in the car based on the age of the passengers in the car.
For example, most of the people in the car were old people or most of them were children. Naturally, the movies that they wanted to air were different.
That was because the rules of evaluation of the passenger car and the van in the game were different. The driver only needed to transport the goods to their destination. If there were car damages or violations in the middle, they would be fined. The faster they arrived, the faster they could start the next order.
However, the passenger car did not just pull the passengers to their destination. Apart from the damage of the car and the violation of the rules, there was also the satisfaction of the passengers. They could only get richer remuneration when the passengers were more satisfied.
As for the duration of the car, whether they responded to the passengers’ urgent requests in time, whether the temperature in the car was appropriate, whether the driving was stable, whether the movies in the car suited the passengers’ preferences… These would affect the satisfaction of the passengers and affect the final income.
At first, Zhang Yan was not used to it. She felt that they were simply a group of crafty people!
He had clearly brought them to their destination safely, but he had lowered his evaluation because the movie did not meet their expectations and the temperature of the air conditioner in the car was too low. That had caused the final income to decrease. It was ridiculous!
However, after making a few trips, Zhang Yan felt that this design was not bad. It made it more challenging for her to drive a long distance car.
What’s more, every time he dealt with all sorts of unexpected situations perfectly and obtained a high degree of satisfaction, he would see the money earned this time increase by 20%, 30%, or even more. This feeling was simply not good.
After several days of continuous live-streaming, the number of people in Zhang Yan’s live-stream also increased. There were now tens of thousands of people.
One had to know that this was the real number of people watching Bunny Tail Live-Stream. There were tens of thousands of people. It was completely different from the tens of thousands of popularity of other platforms that were injected with water.
The bullet screen comments had obviously become denser.
“Good lord, the last time I came, I was still driving a Passat. I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you’re already driving a big car?”
“It’s really a visible improvement in driving skills. The heavens reward hardworkers. It’s simply the example of a female driver!”
“I still remember the first day of live-stream. Good lord, the newbie tutorial started a chain of events. After that, the Passat started again. I just want to know how many sisters the protagonist has to spend like that.”
“Don’t criticize him. The host has already done well. There were zero accidents yesterday and today.”
“Watching the live-streamer drive a huge truck for a long distance gives me an inexplicable sense of security. I suggest that if you’re bored, you can play a song, a crosstalk, or a crosstalk. That would be enjoyable.”
“Has the streamer seen the IIS collision test? It’s a perfect replay! If not, go and take a look. You’re really not responsible for the Passat!”
Zhang Yan could not help but feel a little proud when she saw the bullet screen comments praising her driving skills.
Of course, she was not arrogant or complacent. She knew very well that these viewers had subconsciously lowered their standards for her because she was a female streamer and a female driver. If the male streamer had driven like her, he would definitely not have received so much praise.
Thus, he had to continue working hard to improve his driving skills!
Zhang Yan decided that once she was tired of driving the long distance car and had more or less saved up her money, she would try out her racing driver’s license. She would systematically learn professional knowledge such as drift, line reduction, and oil reduction.
That was because the real God of Cars was definitely trained on the racing track. The most profitable part of Safe and Civilized Driving was also the racing track.
The long distance passenger cars and large vans made money by pulling the living. The upper limit was there even though the specific income would fluctuate.
Only venue competitions and tug-of-war where there would be high bonuses and sponsorship if they won would truly make a lot of money!
Other streamers might be proud and complacent here. They might feel that it was not bad to drive long distance cars and large vans every day. It was good to mix in. After all, the learning cost of racing was too high. He did not know how much hard work they had to put in to make a name for themselves.
However, Zhang Yan was very clear-headed. She was not overwhelmed by these praises. Instead, she chose to continue advancing.
However, the last line caught Zhang Yan’s attention.
“The IIS collision results are out?”
After this long trip, Zhang Yan did not start on the next mission. Instead, she found the IIS collision test video on Aili Island.
Previously, she had driven a Passat so badly. She had also searched online. It seemed like everyone was very controversial about this matter.
Many people felt that the Passat should not perform so badly!
At that time, Zhang Yan had hit a large van, and the large vans in the game had a collisionproof window at the back. Thus, this was a very standard 25% deviation collision. However, such a poor result was really unacceptable.
Thus, many people said that ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was obviously criticizing it.
Some even said that they might have been rejected by the manufacturer when they bought the rights. That was why they conveniently defamed the game.
One important reason for these supporters was that they had already touched the rice version of the Passat. The results were perfect.
It would be impossible for the domestically-produced version of the car to be reduced to this extent, right?
After arguing online for the entire weekend, the results of the IIS collision test were finally out!
Zhang Yan opened the video.
25% deviation collision, deflation of the wheels, the A column bent, the driver seat invaded, the steering wheel turned, the safe air bag escaped perfectly to the passenger seat, dodged the dummy’s head, and made an intimate contact with the car body…
After watching this video, Zhang Yan was stunned.
“This… is this really not the death replay in the game? It’s exactly the same!”
At that moment, it felt like they had traveled through time.
Zhang Yan could not help but want to ask: They were actually so similar?
Of course, it was definitely impossible to achieve uniform details. However, it was simply similar on some key issues, such as the bending of the A column, the invasion of the driver’s seat of the front wheel, the drifting of the steering wheel, and so on.
The bullet screen comments and comments of this video were obviously exploding.
“F*ck, this is definitely a world famous painting!”
“A column folding technology! A large suction area! Safe back row! The car door iron will not move!”
“I’m stunned. Can it really be reduced to this extent?”
“The rice version is perfect! In the end, the domestically-produced joint-venture version is the worst record of the two IIAS? The only car model with ‘bad’ head and neck damage in history is the only car with ‘bad’ head-on collision? F*ck! Are you here to break the record?”
“Reverse record breaking, awesome!”
“The mysterious steering wheel and air bag drifted, and the driver’s head and neck were completely unprotected. That’s the lowest rating of IAS. In reality, this thing exploded!”
“Safety airbag: You’re a noob. You deserve to die. I’m going back to protect the co-pilot seat!”
“I really think ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ is in the atmosphere. Isn’t this a little too mystical? Is there really a great prophet inside? You can even predict this?”
“I heard that it’s because this game uses a very real physical engine? It’s different from other racing games. It models the various structures of the car, the various parts, and the physical effect. Therefore, the performance of each car is different after touching it.”
“That’s not right either. How does it know the strength of each structure in reality?”
“He didn’t spend his own money to buy all these cars, right?”
“I think Tengda can do something like that.”
“Not really. After all, they’re busy developing games. The collision test is a more professional field. Tengda has not stepped foot into it yet. It’s said that the data in ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was obtained after working with IIS internally.. After all, these data have to be released to the outside world sooner or later.”
