1431 Try To Drift!

Many players expressed their worries for Ghost General 2.

Obviously, the publicity method this time really worked!

Meng Chang did not play any tricks at all. He honestly told all players that Ghost General 2 was a combat game very honestly. He did not do anything that would make them misunderstand.

However, it was precisely because it was too realistic that it triggered all sorts of worries among players.

Pei Qian could not help but smile. "This Meng Chang, not bad! I didn't trust you in vain!"

"Now, you've even learned to draw inferences and play tricks! You're no longer as rigid as before, and you've used every trick to death!"

"Not bad, it looks like commission is the biggest source of creativity."

Pei Qian was satisfied. It looked like the publicity plan for Ghost General 2 had been completed. The next step would depend on the performance of the game after it was released.

…

January 27th, Sunday…

Bunny Tail Live-Stream, Zhang Yan's live-stream.

At that moment, Zhang Yan was in the racing venue, trying hard to drift.

All he saw was her staring at the screen with full concentration. She held onto the steering wheel with both hands, stepped on the accelerator with her right foot, and then operated skillfully!

In the end, he only saw the car start to spin uncontrollably. Finally, it stopped far away from the center of the stadium.

Fortunately, the venue was very wide and there was no collision.

Zhang Yan felt defeated. "Ah! The accelerator is too big!"

"Damn it, I was already very familiar with the coach previously, but now that I've changed to my own car, I'm back to square one…"

"Am I supposed to sell this car and buy a coach car of the same size?"

"No, no, no. Are you crazy? Continue training with this car! I don't believe that you will definitely reach the level of one with the car after my hardwork!"

Zhang Yan did not believe it and continued practicing.

Drifting was a very difficult technique for ordinary people. They would definitely not be able to practice on the racing track from the beginning. At the very least, they would only be able to master it after the two stages of regular drift and eight-point drift.

On the other hand, Zhang Yan had said that she had trained a little drift in reality. In fact, she had only trained a little circle drift. She had not trained for so long and had long returned all the knowledge to her teacher.

As for the racing license in reality, she had not passed at all.

In reality, racing licenses might not be difficult, but it was not simple either. The key was to see which level one would be tested. Low-level driver licenses only needed to find a training base to spend tens of thousands of yuan and train for a few days. Basically, they could obtain it. However, some high-level driver licenses were difficult. The money spent on the car alone was bottomless.

What's more, there were many types of racing licenses in reality, such as tug-of-war, venue, drift, and so on.

Some of the lower-level driver licenses were mainly based on racing culture, theoretical knowledge, safe explanation, start, change, emergency mechanism, hand brakes, turn, walk line practice, travel route training, circle speed timer assessment. Some of the content seemed to overlap with the driver's license test, but it was actually not the same.

The examination for a racing license was mainly to teach people to drive in a racing car. It was also a start-up and a change in gears. Driving a racing car was definitely different from driving a private car.

The driver's license test in the game was different from reality. There were many simplifications.

That was because Ye Zhizhou felt that many of the steps for the racing examination in reality were more cumbersome. It was not suitable for the specific situation in the game.

Of course, it made sense for the test steps to be cumbersome in reality. After all, if something were to happen in reality, the driver would be severely injured if it was light, and the driver would be severely injured if it was serious. It might even affect others. Thus, he had to be cautious. He could only enter the next stage after everything was foolproof.

On the other hand, even though it would cost more to have a car accident and money, the money in the game was made by players. It was definitely not the same as in reality.

Ye Zhizhou's understanding of 'Safe and Civilized Driving' was that it had a high degree of authenticity, difficulty level, and strong punishment measures. There were no requirements to completely follow reality. It was just like how the driver's license exam in the game combined the first and fourth subjects and turned them into 50 questions. It showed Ye Zhizhou's design concept.

In the game, players had to test three racing driver licenses. The first was the basic racing license test. The content of the test was relatively simple. There were only three items in total: professional knowledge answers, drifting circles, venue training.

Professional knowledge answers were mainly to test some professional knowledge related to racing. It would take some time to set the stage and use the examination car to maintain the circle for a certain period of time. Venue practice was to run an entry-level racing track. It would be done within the time limit.

After completing all of these, they would obtain a basic racing license and could participate in more entry-level competitions.

After that, there would be a special venue competition and a tug-of-war license. However, those were not problems that Zhang Yan could consider at the moment.

The basic racing license was not difficult. Zhang Yan learned some theoretical knowledge online and looked at the teachings of other live-streamers. She passed after two days of hard work.

After obtaining a racing license, she excitedly used the money she earned from driving a long distance car to buy a new racing car.

Then, a tragedy happened.

She realized that she could no longer float!

That was because the car type that had been tested for a racing driver's license was different from the car she was driving now. The performance of each car was different, and the operations that had to be done when drifting would naturally change.

The so-called fixed loop drift was actually a series of operations such as steering the accelerator, the rear of the car facing outward, and the direction. It ensured that the car would continue to drift in a round trajectory. On the other hand, drifting in eight directions was equivalent to drifting in two circles and changing freely between different trajectories.

He had to learn these two types of drift and form muscle memory in order to achieve different curved strategies for different turns in the racing track. Otherwise, the so-called drifting and turning would be purely blind.

During the process of fixing the drift, if the angle of the back of the car did not match the angle of the steering wheel, the car would lose control and turn around, just like what Zhang Yan had encountered just now.

Thus, if he wanted to master the drift, he had to be able to see the car's trajectory. He had to adjust and control the car through the steering wheel and accelerator so that the car would always be in a fixed trajectory.

Some experienced drivers could only control the car's trajectory through the depth of the accelerator without touching the steering wheel. If the car's trajectory was obviously farther away, they would have to increase the accelerator. On the other hand, they would have to reduce the accelerator.

Of course, the content was easy to say but difficult to do.

Zhang Yan might have passed the racing license test previously but the car model was different now. The familiar feeling on the car model of the previous examination car was not applicable on this new car!

He had to familiarize himself with it again.

However, she did not feel discouraged. Instead, she continued to practice patiently in this round venue.

There were more viewers in the live-stream than before. The popularity had also improved.

Obviously, to most viewers, watching a racing car was more interesting than driving a large truck or a long distance car.

Zhang Yan was discovering the highest difficulty level of the game bit by bit.

"I really admire the host. Not everyone can have such patience. Many male streamers can't even compare to him."

"It's really difficult to drift. It's just a simple floating circle, much less a racing track. I spent the entire afternoon practicing, but I didn't get to practice! Driving might seem simple, but the threshold is really high. It's not useless if you have brains."

"It's alright. Looking at the host's current state, he should be able to float after familiarizing himself with the new car. Driving requires one to become one with the car. Even if you let a racing driver get a new car, he would have to adapt first."

"However, compared to other racing games, 'Safe and Civilized Driving' is indeed considered a very low learning cost. Many driving simulators do not even provide a training ground for drifting. They do not have tutorials or such an internal live-stream system. They rely on players to figure it out on their own. You can only figure it out in the years to come!"

"I look forward to the day when the live-streamer starts drifting!"

"You don't say. I looked for so many tutorials online previously. I also bought the steering wheel. I went to the driving simulation game to practice drift. In the end, I could not train no matter how I trained. After watching the live-stream, I suddenly had some realization. I'll try it out when the live-stream ends. I think I can do it again!"

The audience in Zhang Yan's live-stream was more complicated now. It could be roughly divided into several categories.

The first was those who had purely come to watch the female streamer drive and play the game 'Safe and Civilized Driving'. They could also be considered Cloud Players.

The second was those who saw Zhang Yan constantly practicing and improving, from a small streamer with more fans to enjoying this growth with the streamer;

The third was really coming to this live-stream to learn skills.

However, no matter which type of audience they were, they all agreed that Zhang Yan was indeed a more representative type of player in Safe and Civilized Driving. She really relied on this game to constantly improve her driving standards.

From the first car, to the big trucks, long distance cars, and now the racing car, every type of car required a lot of practice to gradually adapt and improve driving skills. Zhang Yan took every step very steadily and did very well.

From the looks of the current situation, he was not far from conquering the racing track and becoming a true racing car driver.

Many players felt a little strange: Among all racing and driving simulators, Safe and Civilized Driving was definitely not the best nor the most difficult. However, it was the most conducive to improving driving skills.

That was because 'Safe and Civilized Driving' allowed players to experience the game content more intently through a good ladder setting and a moderate punishment mechanism. This was something that other racing games and posture simulators had not been able to achieve.
