Chapter 1415 - It’s So Fun To Drive A Big Truck!
Chapter 1415: It’s So Fun To Drive A Big Truck!
At that moment, Zhang Yan was trying hard to obtain a driver’s license from the truck.
“This place should be half a round first, then observe the rear-view mirror, walk a little slower…”
After Safe and Civilized Driving opened the live-stream function in the game, it really broadcasted everything.
There were really truck drivers in reality. They would live-stream here and teach others how to test their driver’s license.
Zhang Yan watched for a long time as well. She noted down all the key points of the exam that the teaching streamer had mentioned in her notebook. Then, through the special live-stream function of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, she could clearly see the steering wheel and the details of various operations. She also tried her best to memorize them.
His ideals might be voluptuous, but reality was harsh. He would still be a little flustered if he really went to the examination hall. However, he was much better than before when he was completely blind.
At first, Zhang Yan had no idea how to control the butt behind the truck. Now, she had found the knack of it.
Of course, there were also some who were teaching in the live-stream about racing cars and drifting. However, Zhang Yan had not decided on the game’s racing track yet.
That was because the racing track in this game was very expensive. The threshold was too high. She had to drive a huge truck to earn more money before she could go.
The number of people in the live-stream was obviously more than before. As a female host with good looks, Zhang Yan obviously had some advantage among the streamers of Safe and Civilized Driving.
Of course, another important reason was that she was different from other female streamers. She was not here to ride on Pei Qian’s popularity, but because she genuinely loved the game.
Some female live-streamers might say that it was a game, but to put it bluntly, they were live-streaming themselves.
He would play a torturous game. He would not do his homework before the live-stream, would not study the game mechanism, would not listen to the pointers of kind people on the bullet screen, and would not practice technology. He would just die continuously. When he died, he would either be useless and furious or pretend to be pitiful and act cute. He would put it nicely as the “program effect”.
It was just like how it was natural for girls not to play games.
It was the same for the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’. Many female streamers followed the trend and played the game. One driver’s license could be tested for three days.
Zhang Yan did not like the saying ‘female drivers’. In this world, drivers should not be divided into ‘male drivers’ and ‘female drivers’. They should be divided into ‘responsible drivers’ and ‘irresponsible drivers’.
However, he had to admit that there was something wrong with the attitude of these female streamers towards the game or the driving.
Sometimes, it was not that he was not capable, but that his attitude was wrong.
Zhang Yan was a clear streamer in this category: She did not engage in those unorthodox ways and drove seriously.
The audience in the live-stream could see that she was serious and working hard to learn. She kept improving her driving skills. She was improving every day.
The driving skills that she displayed in the game made many viewers feel ashamed.
The popularity of Zhang Yan’s live-stream increased very quickly. The increase in the number of viewers triggered the recommendation mechanism of Bunny Tail’s live-stream and gradually formed a positive cycle.
Compared to other live-stream platforms, Bunny Tail’s recommendation effect was much better.
The reason was very simple. Bunny Tail’s live-stream’s popularity was not fake!
Any live-stream that had rising statistics definitely had something unique about it. It would definitely not be a problem to give recommendations. The audience could also relax and find live-streams on the recommendation spots. They would not have to worry about being deceived by the fake popularity.
All in all, Zhang Yan had gained many fans over the past two days with her live-streaming of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’!
“Congratulations for passing the exam!”
Zhang Yan nearly jumped out of her chair in excitement, but unfortunately, she had a seat belt on.
“Great, it’s finally over!”
“I can finally drive a huge truck for a long distance to collect goods!”
“Let me see which truck is better.”
Over the past few days, not all of Zhang Yan had been taking the driver’s license of the large trucks. She had also spent a lot of time running for cars. She had saved a sum of money so that she could afford the large trucks as soon as she finished taking the driver’s license.
That was because whether they had their own trucks or not, the final price of long-distance delivery would be different. Thus, this initial investment was very necessary.
Zhang Yan learned from her previous lesson. She first went online to watch the evaluation.
On one hand, it was to observe the driving experience of the truck. On the other hand, it was to observe its safety and economy of repair!
Zhang Yan was not the only one who checked the evaluation before buying the car. This had almost become common knowledge for all players of Safe and Civilized Driving.
The owners of the cars that had purchased the Passat in the game had already experienced this bloody lesson.
When they first came into contact with this game, everyone casually bought a car. They all felt that since it was a car in the game, there was at most a slight difference in performance. There would definitely be a huge difference in other places.
However, he realized that it was much worse after playing!
Some cars could last a few months in the hospital, but some cars would die on the spot.
Of course, there were also many people cursing online, especially the car owners of Parshat. They felt that this game should be biased against the cars of certain brands, especially the joint car. The data given was too harsh. It was obviously deliberately defaming.
Many people also understood why there were so few car brands in the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’. How could other brands be willing to let their own cars be tortured in the game?
Many car brands had clear rules when authorizing racing games: car damage could not exceed a certain limit. That was why many racing games would only have the situation of 200KM / H smashing into a front cover.
After all, in the game, a single touch from a car would result in a mess. It would easily leave a bad impression that the quality of the car was very poor.
The car companies would definitely not be able to accept the subtle negative impact of the game on players if they were to authorize the car to the game merchants.
That was why ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ did not obtain any authorization. The authorizations of a few real-life brands were from some small domestic car manufacturers. For example, the domestically-produced HF6 that Zhang Yan had driven previously. The other foreign brands and car models had been modified by demons.
There were also many haters who were making an issue out of this: If you defame others’ brand, of course they would not give you authorisation!
However, for gamers like Zhang Yan, it was just an interlude even though there was a lot of criticism outside.
He still had to play the game as usual. However, there was an additional step to look at the evaluation before purchasing the car.
Many UP Masters took the opportunity to produce videos of testing and interpretation of various cars in ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’. It was very popular.
After a few selections, Zhang Yan finally chose the latest flagship car model of a veteran domestically-produced car manufacturer. The entire car cost a total of 450,000 yuan. According to the evaluation, this car model was considered a high-end car model in Europe. It was still safe and practical.
Of course, if they were really rich, it would be best to buy the top foreign brands’ trucks. They had to look at the gap while supporting domestic products.
However, Zhang Yan did not have that much money yet.
She was not in a hurry. In any case, using this car to run a long distance transport should make money quite quickly. She could think about changing the car then.
“I can finally drive a huge truck to make a living!”
Zhang Yan looked at the driver’s seat of the truck on the screen. It was completely different from the previous home car.
First, there was a huge difference in vision!
The floor of the driver’s seat of this car was 1.6 meters away from the ground. When he sat down, he felt like he was “high above”.
If it was the first time he felt this vision, he would always feel that the left side seemed to have lowered the line, and the right side had also lowered the line. He needed to adapt.
Zhang Yan had exerted so much effort to get a driver’s license previously. Of course, she was already used to this.
In fact, for large heavy cards like this, the comfort level in the driver’s seat was also an important aspect. For example, whether the bed was comfortable after sleeping, whether the height of the car allowed people to walk freely in the car, whether there was a small table with water bottles, and so on.
After all, many long distance drivers in reality had to eat and rest in the driver’s seat.
There were no such problems in the game. They were more concerned about control and safety.
The only pity was that the console in the package previously could not play its full role. That was because many of them were buttons for long-distance cars, such as switchboard doors.
He would only be able to experience all its functions after he finished taking the long distance driver’s license.
Of course, Zhang Yan felt that she had already passed the most difficult driver’s license. She would make preparations later on. It should not be a problem to get the long distance driver’s license.
“Then… Dear viewers and friends, let’s go! The old chauffeur is on his way!”
Zhang Yan still felt nervous and excited even though she had been driving online for a long time and had run to tell others many times before.
Fun!
Many people who did not play simulated driving games might find it difficult to understand. What was so fun about this? Hadn’t they driven enough in reality?
However, for gamers who really liked such games, driving in the game was completely different from driving in reality.
The scenery in the game was better, the road was smoother, and they could play more freely. Even though they had to follow the rules, it was a game after all. Overall, they were still enjoying driving.
However, in reality, after driving for a long time, his body was tired, and he could not stop at any time. The scenery on the road might not be good, or he might not be in the mood to look at the scenery on the road at all. He was very tense the entire time.
What’s more, how many people in reality would really have a chance to drive a huge truck for the long distance?
In Zhang Yan’s opinion, Safe and Civilized Driving had obviously achieved a very good compromise.
It would not be as nervous and tiring as driving in reality. It still maintained a certain degree of entertainment. What’s more, through the adjustment of the value of driving for a long time and driving to earn money, players would not feel so tired driving in the game. They would feel more fun.
At the same time, it was not as unreal as other racing games. It would not let players have a “play whatever you want” attitude. For zero accidents, they would still maintain a certain level of vigilance.
This feeling was just right.
In fact, feelings in gaming could be simply and roughly understood as the best balance between reality and reality.
On one hand, it was the game’s content that guided and restricted players’ behavior. On the other hand, the game’s content provided players with realistic sensory experience.
If the former was emphasized too much, it would become teaching players how to play games. That would cause the fun of the game to be greatly reduced and become boring. If the latter was emphasized too much, it might cause the game to be too unreal. It would indeed be satisfying in the early stages but it would quickly become boring.
On the other hand, Safe and Civilized Driving might not be perfect on this point, but it would already surpass most racing and driving simulators in the market!
