Many players expressed their worries about Ghost General 2.
Obviously, the publicity method this time was really effective!
Meng Chang did not play any tricks at all. He just told all the players honestly that Ghost General 2 was a combat game. He did not do anything that would cause them to misunderstand.
However, it was precisely because it was too realistic that it caused all sorts of worries among gamers.
Pei Qian could not help but smile. "This Meng Chang is not bad! I didn't trust you in vain! "
"Now, you've even learned to draw inferences and play tricks! I'm not going to use the same trick as before! "
"Not bad. It looks like commission is the greatest source of creativity."
Pei Qian was satisfied. It looked like the publicity plan for Ghost General 2 had succeeded. Next, it would depend on the game's performance 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 her best to drift.
She stared at the screen with rapt attention. She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, stepped on the accelerator with her right foot, and operated skillfully!
In the end, the car began to spin uncontrollably. Finally, it stopped far away from the ice cream cone in the center of the circular venue.
Fortunately, the venue was very wide and there were no collisions.
Zhang Yan was a little frustrated. "Ah! I've stepped on the accelerator! "
"Damn it. I was already very familiar with the coach car previously, but I ended up going back to square one after changing to my own car …"
"Don't tell me I should sell this car and buy a coach car of the same model?"
"No, no, wouldn't that be stupid? Continue using this car to practice! I don't believe that I can reach the realm of becoming one with the car after my hard work! "
Zhang Yan did not believe it at all and continued practicing.
Drifting was a very difficult skill for ordinary people. It was impossible for them to practice on the track right away. They had to go through at least two stages, Fixed Circular Drift and Figure-Eight Drift, before they could be considered to have mastered it.
On the other hand, Zhang Yan had said that she had practiced a little drifting in real life. In reality, she had only practiced Fixed Circular Drift. After not practicing for so long, she had already returned all her knowledge to her teacher.
As for the racing license in real life, she had never taken it.
In reality, getting a racing license wasn't difficult, but it wasn't easy either. The key was the level of the license. A low-level driver's license could be obtained by spending tens of thousands of yuan at a training base and training for a few days. However, it was difficult to obtain a high-level driver's license. Just the money spent on the car was a bottomless pit.
Moreover, in reality, there were many different types of racing licenses, such as drag racing, track racing, drifting, and so on.
Some low-level driver's licenses mainly focused on racing culture, theoretical knowledge, safety explanations, starting, gear shifting, emergency braking, hand brake, cornering, line running, track practice, walking on foot, and lap time. Some of the content seemed to overlap with the driver's license test, but in fact, it was not the same thing.
The main purpose of the racing license test was to teach people how to drive a race car. Although starting and changing gears were the same, driving a race car was definitely different from driving a private car.
The driving test in the game wasn't exactly the same as the one in real life. It had been simplified a lot.
This was because Ye Zhizhou felt that many of the steps of the driving test in real life were too complicated and not suitable for the specific situation in the game.
Of course, there was a reason why the driving test in real life was so complicated. After all, as long as an accident happened in real life, the lighter case would be a serious injury to the driver, and the more serious case could even affect other people. Therefore, it was necessary to play it safe and enter the next stage.
Although the car accident in Safe and Civilized Driving would cost a lot of money, the money in the game was earned by the players. It was definitely a different concept from real life.
Ye Zhizhou's understanding of Safe and Civilized Driving was that it was highly realistic, difficult, and had strong penalties. It didn't have to strictly follow the rules in real life. For example, the driver's license test in the game had combined the first and fourth subjects into 50 questions. This showed Ye Zhizhou's design philosophy.
In the game, players had to take three driving tests. The first was the basic racing license test. The test was relatively simple. There were only three parts in total: professional knowledge, drifting, and track practice.
The professional knowledge quiz mainly tested the professional knowledge related to racing. Drifting to a fixed circle required a certain amount of time in a test car on a fixed circle track. The track practice quiz required one to run a beginner's race track within the time limit.
After passing all of these, the player would get a basic racing license and could participate in some beginner's competitions.
There were also specialized track and rally licenses, but those weren't something Zhang Yan could think about at the moment.
Getting a basic racing license wasn't difficult. Zhang Yan learned some theoretical knowledge online and read the lessons of other streamers. After two days of hard work, she passed the test.
After getting a racing license, she happily bought a new race car with the money she earned from driving a big truck and a long-distance bus.
Then, a tragedy happened.
She realized that she couldn't drift anymore!
That was because the car model she was driving was different from the one she was driving now. Every car had different functions, and the maneuvers she had to do during drifting would naturally be different.
The so-called circle drift was actually a series of maneuvers such as turning the accelerator, arching the back of the car, and following the direction to ensure that the car would continue to drift in a circle. On the other hand, Figure-Eight Drift was equivalent to drifting in two fixed circles and switching between different trajectories freely.
Only by learning these two types of drifting and forming muscle memory would one be able to adopt different strategies for different corners on the track. Otherwise, drifting would be purely a matter of luck.
During the process of circle drift, if the angle of the back of the car didn't match the angle of the steering wheel, the car would lose control and spin, just like what had happened to Zhang Yan earlier.
Therefore, to master drifting, one had to be able to see the trajectory of the car and adjust and control it through the steering wheel and accelerator, so that the car would always stay in the circle.
An experienced racer could control the car's drift trajectory through the depth of the accelerator without touching the steering wheel. If the car's trajectory was obviously to the outside, one would have to step on the accelerator. If it was the other way around, one would have to step on the accelerator.
Of course, this content was easy to say, but it was too difficult to do.
Although Zhang Yan had passed her racing license test, the car model was different now. The familiar feeling from the previous car model didn't apply to this new car!
She had to familiarize herself with it again.
However, she didn't give up. Instead, she continued to practice patiently on the circle drift field.
There were more viewers in the live stream than before, and her popularity had also increased.
Obviously, to most of the viewers, watching a race car was more interesting than driving a big truck or a long-distance bus.
Zhang Yan was slowly digging out the highest difficulty of the game.
"I really admire the streamer. Not everyone has this kind of patience. Even many male streamers can't match up to her."
"Drifting is really difficult. Don't talk about drifting on the track, I couldn't even master a simple circle drift after practicing for an entire afternoon! Driving seems easy, but in fact, the threshold is really high. It's useless even if you have the brains but not the hands. "
"It's okay. Looking at the streamer's current state, she should be able to drift after familiarizing herself with the new car. When it comes to driving, you have to be one with the car. Even if you let a racer drive a new car, he would have to get used to it first. "
"However, compared to other racing games, Safe and Civilized Driving is really cheap to learn. Many driving simulation games don't even provide a circle drift training field. They don't have tutorials or built-in live streaming systems. It's all up to the players to figure it out. God knows how long it'll take for them to figure it out!"
"I'm looking forward to the day the streamer starts her drifting lessons!"
"Seriously, I looked for so many tutorials online and even bought a steering wheel to practice drifting in driving simulation games. However, I couldn't master it no matter how hard I tried. After watching the streamer practice, I suddenly realized something. I'll try it after the live stream is over. I think I can do it again! "
The audience in Zhang Yan's live stream was more complicated and could be roughly divided into several categories.
The first category was those who simply came to watch the female streamer drive and play Safe and Civilized Driving. They could be considered cloud players.
The second category was those who watched Zhang Yan continuously practice and improve. They grew from a small streamer to more and more fans and enjoyed the feeling of growth together with the streamer.
The third category was those who really came to the live stream to learn driving skills.
However, regardless of the type of audience, they all recognized that Zhang Yan was indeed a representative type of player in Safe and Civilized Driving. She really relied on the game to improve her driving skills.
From the very beginning, she was an online hailing car. Later, she was a large truck, a long-distance bus, and now a racing car. Every car type required a lot of practice to gradually adapt and improve driving skills. However, Zhang Yan's every step was done very steadily and well.
Based on the current situation, it wouldn't be long before she conquered the track and became a real racer.
Many players felt that it was a little strange. Among all the racing and driving simulation games, Safe and Civilized Driving was definitely not the most enjoyable, nor was it the most difficult, but it was the most beneficial for improving one's driving skills.
This was because Safe and Civilized Driving allowed players to focus more on the game through a good gradient setting and an appropriate punishment mechanism. This was something that other racing and driving simulation games couldn't do.
