Chapter 1432: Is This Racing Or A Form Of Nourishment?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhang Yan’s’ revision ‘was successfully completed under the attention of all the viewers in the live-stream.
First, he successfully floated a few rounds around the circle. Then, he successfully floated eight words a few times. His control of the car became more and more proficient.
“Alright, next is to run the racing track!”
“We’ll start with two simplest racing lanes, a venue competition and a tug-of-war.”
“You would only be qualified to challenge more difficult pictures if you are familiar with these two basic pictures. You might even get a high-level license for the examination hall’s competition and tug-of-war.”
“The tug-of-war should be a huge difficulty for me. I’ll survey it and familiarize myself with the books according to what I learnt when I tested my racing license.”
Of course, different racing venues and tug-of-war had to be used. They even had to change the corresponding tires according to the different competition venues. However, Zhang Yan was not flustered at all because she had bought both cars.
He could do whatever he wanted with money!
After all, driving big trucks and long distance cars previously were basically zero accidents. After driving for a few days, he had saved a lot of money. The speed of making money in this game was quite fast.
Of course, even though they were earning money quickly, there was no upper limit. Running a racing car was very burning money. Only people with good results could rely on the competition bonuses to support cars. Thus, training their driving skills became very important.
Zhang Yan could only say that she had a richer start among the players who had just entered the racing field of Safe and Civilized Driving.
First was the racing survey.
In the game, the racing survey could be done from a free perspective. The cameras would automatically follow the route of the racing track. One could also hear the recorded Chinese road books.
This Lu Shu moved Zhang Yan to tears.
The mother tongue sounded more comfortable!
In fact, all tug-of-war simulators had road books because they could not be lacking in them.
The venue competition was still alright. After all, the route was relatively short and easy to remember. On the other hand, the route for the tug-of-war was often very long. It was unrealistic to expect the driver to memorize all the details of the entire route. During the process of driving at high speed, it was impossible to react after seeing the turns. Thus, the navigator was basically indispensable.
However, the problem was that the foreign tug-of-war simulators were all foreign language books.
It was not difficult to grasp these words. There were various symbols that represented the topographic and turns on the screen. However, it was still very difficult for Chinese players who were not big shots to adapt.
That was because the driver’s mental state was already very tense. When he heard a foreign language book, he had to translate it in his mind. It was very easy for him to not be able to react or react, but it would affect the driver’s operation.
On the other hand, the Chinese road books were different. That was because they were in their mother tongue. It would not affect the driving operations at all.
Zhang Yan used her free perspective to look at the racing track that she was going to run over and over again. She tried hard to remember the details of the racing track. She had to familiarize herself with every difficult corner, every hill, and every pit.
Although he had a book on the road, he could not completely rely on it.
She did not dare to be careless. In this game, cars had to be fixed if they bumped into each other. Racing would be much more expensive than ordinary household cars!
Even though racing car safety measures were usually better and the chances of changing brothers and sisters were not high, the repair costs and medical expenses were still unbearable.
After reading it several times, Zhang Yan silently memorized the map of the racing track in her heart. Then, she drove slowly onto the road.
She did not dare to drive too fast. In fact, she did not even dare to drift in the first few rounds. She only moved forward at the speed that she thought was the safest, slowing down and making turns as per normal.
Some high-difficulty sharp turns made the audience feel like they were about to park the car and crawl over like a tortoise.
Then, he ran three times the standard circle speed in the first round.
Zhang Yan did not mind. She continued to run in this direction. However, she silently increased the speed of the car in certain places.
The bullet screen comments were filled with ridicule.
“Good lord, this is a racing car? Are you recuperating here?”
“I think I can complete the turtle-speed journey.”
“Doesn’t the streamer know how to drift? He floated for so long with the word ’round’ and ‘8’. He even thought that he wanted to show off his hands on the main competition road. In the end, he did not dare to use drifting…”
“I don’t think you understand. Sometimes, simply walking the line would be faster than your immature drift. Don’t think that it’s impressive just because you know how to drift. Most of the time, you only drift for the sake of being handsome. It might not be fast enough.”
“Indeed, different turns have different ways of passing. If you want to drift when you see a bend, that’s all naive behavior.”
“However, no matter how fast he is, he is still faster than the live-streamer, right? The live-streamer ran out of the standard circle three times faster than the live-streamer. Is his’ outstanding performance ‘alright?”
“The streamer is called stable, understand? Steady! What is this game called? Safe and Civilized Driving. First, it has to ensure its own safety. Then, it has to pursue speed. Otherwise, if you were to hit a car, would you pay the streamer for repair? You can’t do that even if you have a few sisters.”
“I suddenly realized something after watching the streamer’s running! It’s not difficult to run a racing track. I think I can do it! I’ll test my racing license now!”
The bullet screen comments were very lively, but Zhang Yan was completely unaffected. She continued to train herself.
She knew very well that the current running speed looked very slow, just like a tortoise.
That was because there was a huge difference between driving in the game and driving in reality. In reality, driving could feel the speed of the car from GL, sound, vibration, and so on. On the other hand, the game could only feel the speed of the car from the two dimensions of image and sound.
Even with the G Force, it was still incomparable to reality.
Therefore, in reality, many newbies might feel that it was very fast when they reached 70-80. However, in the game, 70-80 gave people the feeling that it was like a tortoise crawling. They would only feel a little excited when they reached 200.
That was also why other racing games would ultimately feel like “land flight”. That was because it would be impossible to stimulate players effectively if they did not achieve this level.
However, ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was different. It would also be very exciting to drive to seventy or eighty.
It was mainly because he could not afford the repair costs!
Zhang Yan knew very well that the audience watching the live-stream could not feel this.
However, it was useless to explain such things. She had to try it out herself. Thus, Zhang Yan did not explain much. She drove her car step by step. What she wanted was to improve slowly and increase the circle speed. She could not get into a car accident because of her urgency.
Even though car accidents could also create a program effect, touching a car would mean spending money to fix it. Without money, it would mean going back to the truck to pull goods… It was obviously not worth it in the long term.
Zhang Yan patiently ran in circles. She was still a long way from the standard range, but compared to her previous results, she was doing better and better.

January 28th, Monday…
In the morning, Ye Zhizhou ran to Hu Xianbin to discuss the matters after ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ with him.
Most people were busy in the huge office. On the other hand, Hu Xianbin was yawning at his desk, looking like he had nothing to do.
The seat opposite him was empty.
Ye Zhizhou was a little surprised. “Boss Ma isn’t here today?”
Hu Xianbin nodded. “Yes, he didn’t come last Friday. Boss Ma said that he’s going into seclusion to write his graduation thesis. He won’t come for now. Let me see what I can do.”
Ye Zhizhou was speechless.
Good lord, how could the Vice-President neglect his work for the graduation thesis?
He felt that this was a little ridiculous.
Fortunately, Boss Ma handed all his work to Hu Xianbin before he left. It was not delayed.
“I’m mainly here to convey Boss Pei’s spirit this time. The follow-up promotion of the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ requires more cooperation from Bunny Tail Live-Stream.” Ye Zhizhou said.
Hu Xianbin nodded. “No problem. You can cooperate in any way you want. Go ahead.”
Ye Zhizhou thought for a moment. “Tell me briefly about the live-stream of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ on Bunny Tail Live-Stream. After all, what players say and think might be different. I don’t want to be wrong.”
Hu Xianbin immediately took out some platform data and began to analyze it.
Both of them were game designers and naturally knew what the other was thinking.
Ye Zhizhou wanted to use the popularity of the live-stream to verify his own guesses and thoughts. He wanted to understand the true mentality of players.
He might be able to find many players’ discussions about ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ on the forum, and he could see players’ attitude towards this game from this, but it was not enough.
That was because many players were upright in their words. They might say that they did not like a certain setting, but they were actually enjoying this game setting.
What’s more, if he paid too much attention to the comments online, he might ignore the silent majority and misjudge the situation.
On the other hand, the data in the live-stream could better reflect the players’ true attitude.
