At night.
Zhang Yan finished her work for the day. After a simple dinner at home, she went back to her computer and prepared to drive.
Previously, many people had doubts on the internet. After driving to and from work for the whole day, why would she continue to drive in the game when she got home at night? How addictive!
Now, Zhang Yan could confidently reply to them, "It's that addictive!"
Of course, although she also had to concentrate on driving in Safe and Civilized Driving, Zhang Yan felt that driving in real life was labor, but driving in the game was entertainment.
Although it seemed a little unbelievable to some people, the players who had truly experienced the fun of Safe and Civilized Driving all felt the same as Zhang Yan.
"If I drive a bus today, I can work hard to get on the track tomorrow!"
Zhang Yan took some time to get her bus driver's license. The experience of driving a large truck was very helpful to her.
To be honest, the fun of driving a long-distance bus was very different from driving a large truck.
The fun of driving a large truck was mainly in controlling the compartment behind it. That was because the large truck wanted to carry more goods, the compartment behind it would get longer and longer. How to turn or reverse a warehouse while dragging such a long compartment was definitely a technical job.
If there was a mistake and the truck hit a utility pole or a fire hydrant when turning a corner, it would be fine. At most, they would have to pay for it. However, if there was a situation where the truck got stuck when turning a corner on a mountain road, it would be over. The rescue service in the game was not cheap.
However, the longer the compartment behind them, the more goods they could carry, and the stronger the sense of accomplishment when they pulled the goods to the end!
On the other hand, long-distance buses were another kind of fun. They could fully utilize the functions of the control panel that came with the package.
Unlike a large truck that only transported goods between two points and did not need to stop in the middle, long-distance buses would have many pick-up and drop-off points along the way. For example, within an hour's drive, a group of passengers would have to pick up and drop off every ten minutes.
At that time, players would have to complete the operations such as parking and opening and closing the doors.
Apart from that, a large truck only needed to pay attention to the driver, but a long-distance bus needed to pay attention to the people on the bus.
Apart from parking at the station and opening and closing the doors, players would also have to pay attention to the situation inside the bus and adjust the temperature of the air conditioner. There might be an emergency situation where a passenger pressed the stop button. At that time, they would have to find a suitable place to park the bus. In addition, they would have to switch the movie playing in the bus according to the age of the passengers in the bus.
For example, most of the people in the car were elderly, or most of them were children. Naturally, the movie that was to be played would be different.
This was because the evaluation rules for buses and trucks in the game were different. The driver of a truck only needed to transport the goods to the destination. If the truck was damaged or violated the rules along the way, the driver would be fined. The faster the goods were delivered, the faster they could start the next order.
However, the bus was not just about taking the passengers to their destination. Apart from the problems of damage and violations, there was also the satisfaction of the passengers. Only when the passengers were more satisfied would they be able to get a more generous reward.
The driving time, whether there was a timely response to the urgent requests of passengers, whether the temperature in the car was suitable, whether the driving was smooth, whether the movies in the car met the preferences of the passengers … all of these factors would affect the satisfaction of the passengers, and in turn, affect the final income.
At first, Zhang Yan was not used to it. She felt that they were a bunch of unruly people!
They had brought them safely to their destination, but in the end, because the movie was not to their liking, and because the temperature of the air conditioning in the car was too low, the rating was lowered, which led to a decrease in their final income. It was simply outrageous!
However, after a few trips, Zhang Yan felt that this design was not bad. It gave her more challenges when driving a long-distance bus.
What's more, every time she perfectly dealt with various unexpected situations and obtained high satisfaction, she would see the money she earned increase by 20%, 30%, or even more. This feeling was simply too great.
After a few days of continuous live-streaming, the number of people in Zhang Yan's live-stream increased to tens of thousands.
One had to know that this was the real number of people in Bunny Tail Live-Stream. There were tens of thousands of people. It was completely different from the tens of thousands of people on other platforms.
The bullet screen comments had also become denser.
"Wow, the last time I saw you, you were still driving a Pasht. I haven't seen you for a few days and you're already driving a bus?"
"It's really a visible improvement in driving skills. Heaven rewards hard work. You're simply a role model for female drivers!"
"I still remember the first day of the live-stream. Wow, you had a series of collisions during the beginner's tutorial. Then, you drove a Pasht and collided again. I want to know how many sisters the protagonist has that can be exhausted like that."
"Don't criticize awkwardly. The streamer has already done very well. There were no accidents yesterday and today."
"Watching the streamer drive a big truck for a long distance makes me feel very at ease for some reason. I suggest that if you're bored, you can play a song, a crosstalk, or an audio book. That's what enjoyment is."
"Have you seen the IIAS crash test, Streamer? It's a perfect replica! If you haven't seen it, go and watch it. The Pasht incident is really not your fault! "
Zhang Yan could not help but feel a little proud when she saw the bullet screen comments praising her driving skills.
Of course, she was not arrogant and complacent. She knew very well that the audience had inadvertently lowered their standards because she was a female streamer and a female driver. If a male streamer drove like her, he would definitely not receive so much praise.
Therefore, she had to continue working hard and improve her driving skills!
Zhang Yan decided that when she was tired of driving long-distance buses and had saved up enough money, she would try to get a racing license. She would systematically learn professional knowledge such as drifting, routing, downshifting, and refueling.
That was because a true racing god would definitely be honed on the race track. The most profitable part of "Safe and Civilized Driving" was also the race track.
Long-distance buses and trucks all earned money from pulling jobs. Although the specific income would fluctuate, the upper limit was there.
Only track and rally races could win high bonuses and sponsorships. That was the true way to earn big money!
If it were any other streamer, they might have become arrogant and complacent. They might have thought that driving online cars, long-distance buses, and trucks was not bad at all. After all, the cost of learning to race was too high. Who knew how much hard work one had to put in to make a name for oneself?
However, Zhang Yan was very clear-headed. She did not let the praise get to her head. Instead, she chose to continue moving forward.
However, the last comment caught Zhang Yan's attention.
"The results of the IIAS crash test are out?"
After this long-distance journey, Zhang Yan did not start the next mission. Instead, she found the IIAS crash test video on the Alice Island website.
Previously, when she drove the Pasht and crashed so badly, she also searched the internet. It seemed that there was a lot of controversy about this matter.
Many people felt that the Pasht should not have performed so badly!
At that time, Zhang Yan had crashed into a truck. In the game, trucks had anti-collision bars at the back. Therefore, it was a standard 25% offset collision. However, it ended up with such a terrible result. It was really unacceptable.
Therefore, many people said that "Safe and Civilized Driving" was obviously defaming the game.
Some people even said that they might have been rejected by the manufacturer when they tried to buy the license. That was why they were defaming it in the game.
An important reason for these supporters was that the American version of the Pasht had already been tested and the result was perfect.
No matter how much the domestic joint venture version was reduced, it could not have been reduced to this extent, right?
After arguing on the internet for the whole weekend, the IIAS crash test results were finally out!
Zhang Yan opened the video.
A 25% offset collision. The wheels collapsed. The A-pillar was bent. The cockpit was invaded. The steering wheel was deflected. The airbag perfectly escaped to the front passenger seat. It avoided the dummy's head. The dummy's head had an intimate contact with the car body …
After watching the video, Zhang Yan was stunned.
"This … Is this really not a replay of the death in the game? It's exactly the same! "
At that moment, it felt like that moment.
Zhang Yan could not help but ask, "How can it be so similar?"
Of course, it was impossible to make all the details identical. However, there were some key issues that were similar. For example, the degree of bending of the A-pillar, the degree of the front wheel's invasion of the cockpit, the steering wheel's drift, and so on.
The bullet screen and comments on the video were also in an uproar.
"F * ck, it's a world-famous painting!"
"A-pillar folding technique! Super energy-absorbing zone! Safety backseat! The metal sheet of the car door didn't move an inch! "
"I'm dumbfounded. Can it really be reduced to this extent?"
"The American version had perfect results! In the end, the domestic joint venture version had the worst record in two IIAS categories? The only car in history with a 'poor' score for head and neck injuries? The only sedan in history with a 'poor' score for a frontal collision? F * ck! You're here to break the record? "
"Reverse record breaking. Awesome!"
"This magical steering wheel and airbag drift. The driver's head and neck are not protected at all. This is the lowest IIAS rating, which is' poor '. In reality, this thing would blow up the driver's head!"
"Airbag: You noob, how could you crash like this? You deserve to die. Let's go and protect the passenger seat!"
"I'm exclaiming that Safe and Civilized Driving is in the atmosphere. Isn't this too metaphysical? Is there really a great prophet in it? How could this be predicted? "
"I heard that it's because this game uses a very realistic physics engine? It's different from other racing games. It models the various structures and components of the car individually and does physical effects. That's why every car behaves differently after touching it. "
"That's not right. How did it know the strength of each structure of the new Pasht in reality?"
"Did it pay out of its own pocket to touch all these cars?"
"I don't think Tengda would do such a thing."
"No, they're busy developing games after all. Crash testing is a more professional field that Tengda has not stepped into at the moment. I heard that the data in Safe and Civilized Driving was obtained through internal cooperation with the IIAS. After all, this data would be released to the outside world sooner or later. "
