Chapter 1409 - Don’t Drive If You Are Fatigued
Chapter 1409: Don’t Drive If You Are Fatigued
It would also give people a sense of satisfaction to not have any friction even though they were a long distance away!
There were several reasons why there were no such small clashes in Safe and Civilized Driving.
First of all, Zhang Yan had been traveling between subject two and subject three miles for a long time before officially starting the game. She was very familiar with various operations. Thus, it was not easy for her to make mistakes after she went on the road.
Secondly, the car was an ordinary home car. It was not a sports car. It did not have enough motivation and the speed of the car was not that fast. What’s more, there was a traffic restriction. It was impossible to race even if they wanted to.
The last was about his consciousness.
Zhang Yan knew very well that according to the nature of this game, if there was a bump on the car, it would definitely cost money to repair it. Even if they bought insurance, the premium would definitely increase after the risk.
Thus, he drove very carefully.
In fact, if other driving games were careful enough, they could not touch it. However, most people did not have the patience. What’s more, there was no need to worry about whether to touch it or not.
At first, Zhang Yan felt quite aggrieved. Why did she have to drive in the game like in reality?
However, after driving for a while, Zhang Yan found that she slowly adapted to this feeling.
That was because not touching it once would give people a sense of achievement!
It would give people the illusion that “I’m very good at driving” or even “the car controls in this game are very good”.
Driving and stumbling in other games would be rare in ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’. Does this mean that my driving skills have improved? Does it mean that the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ is closer to the real driving experience?
This feeling made people feel that Safe and Civilized Driving was different from ordinary racing games.
After driving for a while to satisfy herself, Zhang Yan could not help but want to experience more game content.
She took a look. There were many ways to make money in the game, but they were basically related to driving.
The most basic thing was to use his own car to drive an internet car. He would follow the mileage and run back and forth in the city.
Other times, they would be able to receive urgent work that required them to travel a long distance. They would drive their own cars to drive their customers to another city nearby. Such work would take a long time. If they gave up halfway, they would not be able to get money. However, the benefits would obviously be much higher.
There were also substitute drivers. It was similar to the game of driving internet cars. However, there might be all sorts of cars. They might be addicted to driving luxury cars.
Higher levels were long-distance delivery and long-distance passenger transportation.
These two types were similar to long-distance running. They also required a long time and could not be given up halfway. What’s more, long-distance delivery and long-distance passenger transport had to complete other exam projects.
Of course, it could also be regarded as a newbie teaching.
He could choose to buy his own truck or work as a driver for others. However, his profits would definitely decrease greatly if he was a driver. He still had to have his own car to earn more money.
Zhang Yan felt that it would definitely be more difficult for her to get a driver’s license for a large car after taking the exam for so long. Thus, she temporarily dismissed this idea.
The highest level was the venue competition and tug-of-war.
In order to carry out this game segment, one also had to pass the examinations. Some racing tracks had to run for as many minutes before they could participate. If they won, the bonus would indeed be very generous. However, the car damage and tire losses from daily training required a certain amount of financial resources to support.
If his driving skills were not good enough and he could not get a bonus from the competition, it would be pure burning money.
The system design in the game was not strictly adhered to in reality. Instead, it was adjusted.
First of all, the time was greatly shortened. Ordinary cars would drive for about five to ten minutes. Long-distance driving was also divided into short-distance, mid-distance, and long distance. Short-distance was usually 30 minutes, one hour in the middle, and more than one hour in the long distance. During this period, they could rest in the service area. The game could also be suspended.
The map was definitely not strictly following the real map. Instead, it was shrinking in comparison. After all, if the long distance really was seven or eight hours, most players would not be able to take it. There was no need.
Of course, he earned more in the game.
He could earn a few hundred yuan from a trip to the internet cafe. In other words, he could earn thousands of yuan per five minutes of travel.
It would be even more profitable if it was a long distance. He could earn tens of thousands of yuan per hour.
If he ran the racing track, he could earn hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more from each competition.
However, there was no limit to how much money he could spend in this game.
If he violated the rules, he would have to deduct points and fines. He could continue to drive after deducting points. However, if he violated the rules again, he would have to double the fines. The more he punished, the more he would be punished.
If there was an accident to the car, he would not have to pay for it himself if the insurance was to compensate. However, if the insurance did not compensate, he could only pay for the car out of his own pocket. It was not a small number to repair.
The biggest expenditure was buying new cars, more expensive household cars, more expensive trucks, and more expensive racing cars…
It was all money.
Of course, if he was more confident in himself, he could also lend. However, the loan in the game could not be default. Money would be deducted directly from his account at fixed times.
All in all, the gameplay of this game was to drive normally. As much as possible, avoid accidents, earn more money, and earn more money to buy better cars.
Of course, during this process, he would also constantly improve his driving skills.
If one was very confident in their driving skills, they could go to the racing track. That would make the most money. If they were not confident in their driving skills, they would not be able to drift or run the racing track. That would not matter. It would not matter if they opened long distance cars and large trucks to make money. It would ensure that the road was safe and peaceful. That was also a gameplay.
Zhang Yan had thought that she would get sick of it if she kept driving the internet cafe. However, after playing for a while, she realized that she was not tired of it at all. Instead, she was very excited!
That was because compared to other racing games, even though the game fun on the surface was different, the deeper game fun was the same.
Other driving games might look like they were driving wildly on the surface, but in fact, they were also running more racing lanes, obtaining better rankings, earning money to buy more cars. This cycle continued.
On the other hand, on the surface, ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was a proper way of driving. However, in fact, it was also to drive more routes and earn more money to buy a car. That was the cycle.
In other words, apart from the fun part of driving, they were all using systems to drive players’ actions.
Other racing games seemed to have different racing lanes, but they were actually similar to ordinary players. In order to pursue faster speed and a better ranking, they blindly accelerated. In the end, they frequently bumped into each other. This experience was not very good.
Of course, there was no need to talk about the real big shots. They were equally impressive in any racing game.
On the other hand, ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was also traveling on different city routes. Every time they arrived at a new place, Zhang Yan would focus on driving and maintain zero accidents. Every time she sent customers to their destination and saw the increase in her account balance, she would feel a sense of happiness from the bottom of her heart.
This numerical driving sense of achievement was similar to some simulated management games. It was even stronger than other racing games!
Three hours passed unknowingly.
Zhang Yan yawned and looked at the 50,000 yuan in her account. She felt like a hamster enjoying his winter.
Previously, he had more than 20,000 yuan left from buying the car. After running for three hours, he had earned nearly 30,000 yuan.
A notification popped up on the screen, reminding Zhang Yan that she would be exhausted after driving for four hours. She had to rest in time.
Zhang Yan looked at the time. It was not four hours yet. They could still make one more order.
However, the order he received this time was different from before. It was a long distance order!
The estimated travel time for this order was 1 hour and 15 minutes. If it was completed, he would be able to earn more than 40,000 yuan!
Zhang Yan could not help but feel energized. There’s life!
Running for an hour was more profitable than running for three hours previously!
There were not many long distance jobs like this for taxis. They were randomly refreshed. Once they gave up, they would not know when they would meet again.
If she wanted to earn money by running a long distance regularly, she had to pass the driver’s license examinations for large passenger cars or large vans. Then, she had to run long distance passenger transport or long distance passenger transport. Zhang Yan had no plans to take the exam yet.
Thus, she cherished this opportunity.
“I’ll persevere for one more hour. It’s not a big problem.”
Zhang Yan immediately took the job. Then, she ran to the designated location to pick up the customers and began to run on the high-speed.
Such a long distance order route was randomly generated. Not all of them ran on high-speed, but they would also sometimes go to various provincial roads. Comparatively, the high-speed would definitely be more spacious and easier to run on. However, the scenery would not be much better. On the other hand, the provincial road could also look at the scenery on both sides of the road. Their mood would be more pleasant.
Of course, Zhang Yan did not care about this difference at all. All she cared about now was earning money.
There were not many cars on the expressway. It was very monotonous to drive in one direction. Zhang Yan yawned as she drove. Soon, she felt her focus plummeting. She might not sleep immediately but her brain was not very sharp.
At that moment, she suddenly saw a huge truck that had broken down because of an accident in front of her.
Perhaps he was too distracted previously. Perhaps he had not seen the warning sign at all because he had just broken down.
“AH!”
Zhang Yan was shocked. She quickly stepped on the brake, but it was too late!
She did not dare to hit the steering wheel because she was afraid that the car would flip 360 degrees. Thus, she only hit a small direction. In the end, she hit a standard 25% default collision and hit the protective fence behind the truck.
Fortunately, the protective fence of this large truck had been strengthened. It was not like many large trucks that had cut corners and entered directly under the car after touching it.
Unfortunately, even with the guardrails, the impact was still firm!
There was a loud bang, and all the air bags in the car exploded. The screen went black again.
“Ah! My zero accident!” Zhang Yan was frustrated. She should have gone to rest instead of driving because of fatigue!
Great, now he did not earn forty thousand yuan and he even hit a car, what a loss!
What’s more, this car collision was obviously his full responsibility. Insurance would definitely pay but it was hard to say how much would require to be spent for medical expenses.
He hoped that there would be a corresponding deduction for the medical expenses in the game. Otherwise, if he were to spend a million yuan on medical expenses, he would be finished.
However, to Zhang Yan’s surprise, she received a death notice instead of a medical bill!
