1408 Becoming A Game Of Suffering

A good racing game had become a torturous game.

Zhang Yan was not willing to give up. She did not believe in the supernatural and tried other methods.

He tried using the keyboard and controller but finally returned to the steering wheel.

That was because it was more difficult to use the keyboard and controller!

Of course, as a qualified racing game, Safe and Civilized Driving had also adjusted the keyboard and controller so that players could better control the car.

This was the basic optimization that all racing games had to do. That was because the keyboard and controller lacked the precision of the steering wheel. For example, the keyboard could only be beaten to the left, beaten to the right, stepped on the accelerator to the end, and stepped on the brake to the end. At this time, if they wanted to make a precise turn and drift, they had to rely on the optimization of the game itself to make it easier for players to achieve their true goal.

Even so, it was still very difficult!

That was because this was subject two, not top laner driving.

The road was very wide. It would not be a problem as long as they followed the traffic rules and walked according to the signs. However, the second requirement of the subject was high precision control of the car.

Many old chauffeurs who had been driving for many years suddenly had to go back for subject examination. It was very difficult for them to adapt at once, much less newbies. At most, they would familiarize themselves much faster than newbies, but this familiar process could not be omitted.

Could he pass the subject number two in 'Safe and Civilized Driving' with a keyboard and controller?

He could pass, but he needed very good driving skills.

Take the car that was placed in the warehouse for example. He had to seriously observe the rear-view mirror, guess the trajectory of the car wheels, and make minor adjustments to this trajectory.

The 'slight adjustment' alone could dissuade many impatient players.

That was because it was much more difficult to make minor adjustments using the keyboard and controller.

The method of driving the school was actually a test. Most students did not really know how far away the inverted car was from the warehouse. They only remembered the signs by rote memorization. In reality, many people still had to rely on the inverted car images.

On the other hand, the inverted version of the game did not have those signs. It depended on the players' strength.

Of course, perhaps game designers thought that this operation was indeed very difficult, so they maintained a certain level of pity for players: players could choose to use other perspectives to pass the driver's license test, such as the car tail view.

That way, the difficulty level would greatly decrease.

However, Zhang Yan did not believe it. She would use the perspective of the car to complete the exam!

After all, there was no such thing as a car tail perspective in reality.

What's more, some people on the internet had already passed the driver's license test and were sharing it. According to them, the system would record the passing of the driver's license with different equipment and perspectives. The inside and tail view were two different records.

Obviously, the value of the driver's license test in the car would be higher.

Zhang Yan continued to try stubbornly.

Fortunately, this was a game and not reality. There was no need to ask for examinations repeatedly. If you could not pass the examinations, you could continue to do so until you passed.

As the sound of 'failing the exam, please continue to work hard' continued, Zhang Yan felt that her driving skills were improving bit by bit. She recalled a lot of knowledge during the driver's license test and many muscle memory were stimulated.

Finally, after six or seven tries, she successfully passed the subject test!

What surprised her was that the projects in the driver's license examinations that seemed to have been given for free previously had instead caused her trouble. For example, the straight corner and S bend. Previously, when she was taking the driver's license, she had directly memorized them. Now, there was no point to refer to. Instead, she would not. If she was not careful, she would press the line.

There were three subjects and four subjects after the examinations.

The subject three was much simpler. It was to drive normally on the top lane and follow the instructions on the screen to make right turns, overtake cars, and other corresponding operations. It should not be difficult to use the keyboard and controller, much less the steering wheel. It was much easier than subject two.

After subject three, there was subject four, which was related to safe and civilized driving and road transportation rules.

In the game, the first subject and subject four were actually combined into one. What's more, these examination projects were not called subject two, subject three, or subject four. Instead, they were called 'venue driving skills examination', 'road driving skills examination', and 'transport rules and safe and civilized driving knowledge'.

The number of questions had also been reduced. There were only 50 questions.

This should be to streamline the game process. Otherwise, the game experience would be terrible if players passed the subjective examination right from the start.

After all, many players had not memorized the subject before. They had to browse the questions or ask Qiandu first. That would make the game experience too bad. Many old chauffeurs would still be able to easily pass the subject, but answering so many questions would still severely affect the game experience.

There were still 50 questions after all!

First, he had to take subject two and subject three. At the very least, the players were driving.

However, Zhang Yan seriously doubted that it would be of any use and whether it would have the opposite effect. That was because it was much more difficult than memorizing questions for subject one and subject two!

Wasn't putting the subject matter at the front to dissuade players?

Still, no matter what, he had finally gotten his driver's license!

Zhang Yan heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of achievement from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, this sense of achievement could not be compared to the sense of achievement of obtaining a driving book in real life. After all, this was a game, but there was a very special feeling.

She was extremely confident!

That was because there was a certain degree of 'compatible education' in reality. Many subjects had to be memorized by heart, and the exam in 'Safe and Civilized Driving' relied on hard skills to pass.

Thus, after passing the driver's test in reality, it might still be a little difficult to get on the road. Some people might even need the old driver to accompany them.

However, in the game, Zhang Yan felt that she had no problem at all. She could definitely go steadily!

After obtaining the driver's license, Zhang Yan obtained a starting sum of 240,000 yuan in the game. She was free to choose a home car.

Zhang Yan took a look. The car models that could be chosen were not as rich as in reality. About 70% of them were fictitious brands, but she could vaguely recognize their original models in reality. The remaining 30% were existing brands. Obviously, they had been authorized, but most of them were domestic car manufacturers. There were only a few foreign manufacturers, and they were not famous brands.

There were no columns of parameters like in other games when choosing cars. They clearly displayed the control, acceleration, and other content with direct graphs. Instead, they used the parameters data when buying cars in reality.

Of course, due to the price restrictions, these car types were basically domestic cars and SUV cars. There were no sports cars, and their appearance were similar.

With a budget of 240,000 yuan, there were not many car models to choose from.

What's more, it would be best if he could not spend all 240,000 yuan. The official notification said that he could earn more money in the future. However, he had to keep some money in his account for emergencies such as punishment and compensation for accidents. He could have a certain amount of credit and delay time, but he had to pay it back in the end.

Zhang Yan felt like she was having difficulty choosing.

There was no need to be so picky when the budget was enough. In any case, they could just buy the classic models of those branded cars. They would not be much worse in all aspects. However, it would be very awkward when the budget was short. That was because there would always be such or such small flaws in these car models.

It was either insufficient motivation, slightly less safe, or it did not look good on the surface… In short, there was not enough budget. These would definitely not be able to be done in all aspects. Instead, it would stimulate Zhang Yan's difficulty in choosing.

"A mini legendary car? Wow, I really want to buy this. It must be very easy to park such a small car. What's more, the accompanying version is only about 40,000 yuan!"

"Sigh, but would buying this car affect the subsequent game process? It's cheap, but its performance is a little too weak."

"Forget it, I'll think about a safer choice."

"Eh? Isn't this the Volkswagen Passat? The price is quite suitable. The new business version is 190,000 yuan. Coupled with car insurance and miscellaneous expenses, it's just within the budget. There's still some urgent money left."

"That's it!"

Zhang Yan looked at a few car models and some cars with new energy. In the end, she chose the current reputation of the Passat as her first car.

Of course, that was not the name of the game. The car's logo had also been slightly modified. However, one could roughly see its prototype.

This car might not be suitable for girls to drive but it was said that in this game, one could make money by running online and asking for a car. This car was very suitable.

If he really bought a god-like car, he would have a lot of fun driving it. However, would the cost of driving it be very low?

It would be awkward if the same mileage made very little money.

What's more, the car MINE was too cheap after all. It would not be very safe. In the future, they would not dare to go on the expressway even if they wanted to run a long distance job.

After all, in this game, driving was both work and entertainment. The first car would satisfy work needs first and ensure a certain degree of business and safety. Once he saved some money, he would seek higher pursuits.

After choosing various combinations and decorations according to his own preferences, he could drive directly to the top lane.

The license plates were also automatically installed. What's more, players were allowed to customize them freely. They were made up of random copies, alphabets, and numbers.

It was a game after all. That saved Zhang Yan a lot of trouble. It even gave Zhang Yan the illusion that everything was going so smoothly.

On further thought, shouldn't that be the case?! This was just a game!

Perhaps it was because the driver's license examinations had been too torturous that Zhang Yan felt grateful when it was slightly more convenient later on.

After driving on the road, Zhang Yan's first thought was 'awesome'!

This feeling was very different from other racing games.

Other racing games had been racing on the top lane from the beginning. It was indeed satisfying, but the subsequent experience had not improved much. It was just more complicated racing lanes and faster-racing enemies.

However, 'Safe and Civilized Driving' was different. It was the first time they were on the road after receiving the driver's license. For some reason, they felt nervous and apprehensive. What's more, they did not even touch it after running for a while!

One had to know that it was inevitable for Zhang Yan to drive in other games.
