Moreover, driving a long distance without any collision would also give people a sense of satisfaction!
There were a few reasons why there were no bumps in Safe and Civilized Driving.
First of all, Zhang Yan had been playing Subject 2 and Subject 3 for a long time before she officially started the game. She was very familiar with all kinds of controls, so it was not easy for her to make mistakes on the road.
Secondly, the car was a normal family car, not a sports car. It did not have enough power, and the speed was not that fast. Moreover, there were traffic restrictions, so she could not race even if she wanted to.
Lastly, there was the problem of awareness.
Zhang Yan knew very well that with the nature of the game, if there was a bump in the car, she would definitely have to spend money to repair it. Even if she bought insurance, the insurance would definitely increase after the accident.
Therefore, she drove very carefully.
Actually, if one was careful enough in other driving games, they could avoid bumps. However, most people did not have the patience, and there was no need to worry about bumps.
At first, Zhang Yan felt quite frustrated. Driving in the game was like driving in real life?
However, after driving for a while, Zhang Yan realized that she was slowly getting used to the feeling.
That was because not bumping even once would give her a sense of achievement!
It would give people the illusion that 'I'm good at driving' or even 'the car in the game handles well'.
In other games, I would bump into things while driving, but in Safe and Civilized Driving, I rarely bump into things. Does this mean that my driving skills have improved? Does this mean that Safe and Civilized Driving is closer to the real driving experience? '
This feeling made people feel that Safe and Civilized Driving was different from other racing games.
After playing for a while, Zhang Yan couldn't help but want to experience more of the game's content.
She looked at it. There were many ways to earn money in the game, but most of them were related to driving.
The most basic was to use one's own car to rent a car online and drive back and forth in the city according to the mileage.
Occasionally, there would be some long-distance jobs, and they would drive their own car to the highway to send customers to a nearby city. These jobs took a long time, and if they gave up halfway, they would not get any money, but the rewards were obviously much higher.
There were also drivers, which were similar to renting a car online, but the cars could be different, and it was possible to enjoy driving a luxury car.
Even more advanced were long-distance freight and long-distance passenger transport.
These two methods were similar to long-distance running. They also required a longer period of time, so they could not give up halfway. Moreover, long-distance freight and long-distance passenger transport required completion of other tests.
Of course, it could also be seen as a beginner's education.
He could choose to buy his own truck, or he could choose to work as a driver for someone else. However, if he worked as a driver, his profits would definitely drop significantly. If he wanted to make more money, he still had to have his own car.
Zhang Yan felt that it had taken her so long to get a driver's license for an ordinary family car. It must be even more difficult to get a driver's license for a large car, so she temporarily dismissed the idea.
The highest level was the field race and the rally race.
In order to participate in this game segment, one had to pass a test. Only a certain number of minutes of lap time on certain tracks could one participate. If he won, the prize money would indeed be very generous. However, the daily training would require a certain amount of money to support the damage to the car and tires.
If the driver's driving skills were not up to standard in the early stages and he couldn't get any prize money from the competition, it would be a waste of money.
The numerical system in the game was not strictly based on reality. Instead, there were some adjustments.
First, the time was greatly reduced. A normal online taxi ride would take around five to ten minutes. Long-distance driving was also divided into short, medium, and long distance driving. A short trip would usually take thirty minutes, a medium trip would take an hour, and a long trip would take more than an hour. During this period, one could rest in the service area and pause the game.
The map was definitely not strictly based on the real map. It had been scaled down. After all, most players would not be able to handle a long trip of seven to eight hours, so there was no need to.
Of course, the money earned in the game had increased.
An online taxi ride could earn a few hundred yuan. That meant that if one took five minutes, one could earn a few thousand yuan in an hour.
If it was a long-distance run, one could earn tens of thousands of yuan in an hour.
If it was a race track, one could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan or even more.
However, there was no limit to how much money one could spend in the game.
Points would be deducted for breaking the rules. After the points were deducted, one could continue driving. However, if one broke the rules again, the fine would be doubled.
If there was an accident, one did not have to pay for it from the insurance. However, the insurance would have to increase the insurance premium. If the insurance did not pay, one would have to pay for the repairs, which would cost a lot.
The biggest expense was buying a new car. A more expensive family car, a more expensive truck, and an even more expensive racing car …
It was all money.
Of course, if one was confident in oneself, one could take a loan. However, loans in the game could not be breached. The money would be deducted from one's account at a fixed time.
In short, the gameplay was to drive normally, avoid accidents as much as possible, earn more money, and buy better cars.
Of course, in the process, one would constantly improve one's driving skills.
If one was especially confident in one's driving skills, one could go to the race track. That would earn the most money. If one was not confident in one's driving skills and could not learn to drift or race on the race track, it did not matter. One could drive a long-distance bus or truck to earn money and ensure no accidents along the way.
Zhang Yan had thought that she would get tired of driving online taxi rides. However, after playing for a while, she realized that she was not tired at all. In fact, she was very excited!
That was because Safe and Civilized Driving was different from other racing games on the surface, but the underlying fun was the same.
Other driving games seemed to be about speeding on the surface, but in reality, it was also about running more race tracks, getting a better ranking, earning money to buy more cars, and so on.
Safe and Civilized Driving seemed to be about following the rules on the surface, but in reality, it was also about driving more race tracks, earning more money to buy more cars, and so on.
In other words, apart from the part about driving fun, the rest of the game was using numbers to drive the players' behavior.
Other racing games seemed to have different race tracks, but to the average player, they were more or less the same. In pursuit of faster speed and better ranking, one would blindly accelerate, resulting in frequent crashes. That experience was not very good.
Of course, there was no need to talk about the real bosses. They were equally awesome in any racing game.
Safe and Civilized Driving was also running routes in different cities. Every time they arrived at a new place, Zhang Yan would focus on driving seriously and maintain zero accidents. Every time she sent the customers to their destination, she would feel a sense of happiness from the bottom of her heart as she watched the account balance increase.
This kind of numerically driven sense of achievement was similar to some business simulation games. It was even more intense than other racing games!
Unknowingly, more than three hours had passed.
Zhang Yan yawned and looked at the 50,000 yuan in her account. She felt like a hamster going through winter.
She had more than 20,000 yuan left from buying the car. After running for three hours, she earned close to 30,000 yuan.
A notification popped up on the screen, reminding Zhang Yan that driving for four hours straight would enter a state of fatigue and that she needed to rest.
Zhang Yan looked at the time. It had not even been four hours, so she could still run one more order.
However, the order she received this time was different from the previous ones. It was a long-distance order!
The estimated travel time for this order was one hour and fifteen minutes. If it was completed, she could earn more than 40,000 yuan!
Zhang Yan could not help but feel excited. There was work!
Running for an hour would earn more than running for three hours previously!
For online taxi booking, this kind of long-distance job was rare. It was randomly refreshed. Once she gave up on it, she did not know how many hours it would be before she could get another one again.
If she wanted to earn money by running long-distance regularly and for a long time, she had to pass the driver's license test for large buses or large trucks. Then, she could run long-distance passenger transport or long-distance passenger transport. Zhang Yan did not plan to take the test yet.
Therefore, she cherished this opportunity very much.
"Just hold on a little longer. It's just an hour anyway. It's not a big problem."
Zhang Yan immediately took the order and ran to the designated location to pick up the customer. Then, she directly started running on the highway.
This kind of long-distance order route was randomly generated. It was not all on the highway. Sometimes, it would also be on various provincial roads. Relatively speaking, the highway was certainly more spacious and easier to run, but the scenery was not much better. On the other hand, if it was a provincial road, she could enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, which would make her feel better.
Of course, for Zhang Yan, she did not care about this difference at all. Her mind was filled with money.
There were not many cars on the highway, and it was monotonous to keep driving in the same direction. Zhang Yan yawned as she drove. Soon, she felt that her concentration was plummeting. Although it was not to the extent of falling asleep immediately, her brain was a little slow.
Just then, she suddenly saw a large truck that had broken down because of an accident in front of her.
Maybe it was because she was too distracted before, or maybe it was because she had just broken down and did not have time to put up the warning sign, so she did not see the warning sign at all.
"Ah!"
Zhang Yan was shocked and quickly stepped on the brake, but it was a little too late!
She did not dare to turn the direction violently, afraid that the car would directly flip 360 degrees. Therefore, she only turned a little bit, resulting in a standard collision of 25% offset. She hit the protective fence behind the large truck.
Fortunately, the protective fence of this large truck was reinforced. It was not like many large truck protective fences that were jerry-built, which would directly drill into the bottom of the car when touched.
Unfortunately, even though there was a guardrail, the impact was still very strong!
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and all the airbags in the car exploded. The screen was black again.
"Ah! My zero accident! "Zhang Yan was annoyed. If she had known this would happen, she would have gone to rest. Why did she drive when she was tired!
Now, not only did she not earn 40,000 yuan, but the car was also hit. It was a huge loss!
Moreover, this collision was obviously her responsibility. The insurance would pay, but it was hard to say how much the medical fees would cost.
Hopefully, the medical fees in the game would also be reduced accordingly. Otherwise, this collision would cost millions of medical fees. That would be the end of her.
However, what Zhang Yan did not expect was that she did not wait for the medical bills, but waited for a death notice!
