Zhang Yan's "rehabilitation" was completed successfully under the attention of all the viewers in the livestream.
First, he successfully floated a few circles, then he successfully floated a few figure-eights. He was getting more and more comfortable with the car's controls.
"Alright, next up is the race track!
"I'll start with the two easiest tracks, a track race and a rally race.
"I'll only be qualified to challenge the more difficult tracks after familiarizing myself with these two basic tracks. I might even be able to get a high-level license for track races and rally races.
"Rally races are going to be a huge challenge for me. I'll follow what I've learned during the racing license test. I'll survey the tracks and familiarize myself with the route books."
Of course, different cars were needed for track races and rally races. She even had to change her tires according to the different race tracks. However, Zhang Yan was not worried at all because she had bought both cars.
She could do whatever she wanted with money!
After all, she had basically had zero accidents driving trucks and long-distance buses. She had earned quite a lot of money after driving for a few days. It was quite easy to earn money in the game.
Of course, although it was fast, there was no limit to it. Racing was a money-burning activity. Only those with good results could use the prize money to support their cars. Therefore, it was especially important to hone one's driving skills.
Zhang Yan could only say that she was one of the wealthier players who had just entered the racing field of Safe and Civilized Driving.
First, she had to survey the tracks.
In the game, the survey could be done through a free-view camera. The camera would automatically follow the route of the track and she could also listen to the recorded route books in Chinese.
The route books moved Zhang Yan so much that she was moved to tears.
Her mother tongue was still the best!
In fact, all rally simulation games would have road maps, because they were indispensable.
Track races were easier to remember since the route was shorter. The route of a rally was often very long, and it was unrealistic to expect the driver to remember all the details of the entire route. In the process of driving at a high speed, it would be too late to react to a turn. Therefore, a navigator was basically indispensable.
However, the problem was that the overseas rally simulation games all had route books in foreign languages.
Although it wasn't difficult to grasp these terms, and there were also various symbols that represented terrain and turns on the screen, it was still difficult for non-bigshots Chinese players to adapt to it.
When driving, one's mind was already highly strained. When one heard a foreign language road guide, one would have to translate it in their mind. It was very easy to not be able to react, or if one could react, it would affect the driving.
On the other hand, the Chinese road map was different. Because it was the mother tongue, it did not affect the driving operation at all.
Zhang Yan used the free-view camera to look at the track she was going to run over and over again. She tried her best to memorize the details of the track. She tried her best to familiarize herself with the difficult turns, slopes, and pits.
Although he had Lu Shu, he couldn't completely rely on him.
She did not dare to be careless. In the game, if a car was damaged, it would have to be repaired, and repairing a racing car was much more expensive than a normal family car!
Although the safety measures in racing cars were generally quite good, and the possibility of switching siblings was not high, the repair fees and medical fees would still be unbearable.
After looking at it a few times, Zhang Yan memorized the map of the track in her mind. Then, she drove slowly on the road.
She did not dare to drive too fast. She did not even dare to drift for the first few laps. She just moved forward at the speed that she thought was the safest, and slowed down for the turns.
Some of the difficult turns made the audience feel like she was going to stop. She crawled at the speed of a turtle.
Then, she ran at three times the standard lap speed on the first lap.
Zhang Yan did not mind. She continued to run in the same direction. However, she quietly increased the speed of the car when she was confident.
The bullet screen was filled with ridicule.
"Wow, you call this a racing car? Are you trying to maintain your health? "
"She finished the whole race at the speed of a turtle. I think I could do it too."
"Doesn't the streamer know how to drift? Previously, she drifted for so long with the fixed circle and figure eight. I thought she would show off her skills on the track, but she didn't even dare to drift … "
"You don't understand. Sometimes, simply walking the line is faster than your immature drifting speed. Don't think that you're awesome just because you know how to drift. Most of the time, drifting is just to look cool, not necessarily fast."
"Indeed, different turns have different ways of passing. It's silly to think about drifting when you see a turn."
"But no matter how slow it is, it's still faster than the streamer. The streamer ran at three times the standard lap speed with an 'excellent result', okay?"
"The streamer is steady, do you understand? Steady! What's the name of this game? It's Safe and Civilized Driving. First ensure your own safety, then pursue speed. Otherwise, are you going to pay for the streamer's repair fees if you crash? You can't do this even if you have a few younger sisters. "
"After watching the streamer's running style, I suddenly understood! It turns out that running a race track is not difficult. I think I can do it too! I'm going to get my racing license now! "
The bullet screen was very lively, but Zhang Yan was completely unaffected. She was still practicing.
She knew very well that her current running style looked very slow, like a tortoise crawling.
That was because driving in the game was very different from driving in reality. In reality, one could feel the speed of the car through the G-force, sound, vibration, and many other dimensions. In the game, one could only feel the speed of the car through the image and sound.
Even with the addition of the G-force seats, it still could not be compared to reality.
Therefore, in reality, many beginners might feel that they were very fast when they reached 70 or 80, but in the game, it felt like a tortoise crawling. Only when they reached 200 would they feel a little excited.
This was also why other racing games would eventually make it feel like they were flying on land. If they did not reach this level, there was no way to effectively stimulate the players.
However, Safe and Civilized Driving was different. Even driving at 70 or 80 would feel very exciting.
The main problem was that they could not afford the repair fees after touching it!
The audience watching the livestream could not feel this, but Zhang Yan was very clear about it.
However, it was useless to explain this kind of thing. She had to try it herself. Therefore, Zhang Yan did not explain much and drove her car step by step. What she wanted was to improve slowly and increase her lap speed. She did not want to get into a car accident because she was eager for quick success.
Although a car accident could create a show effect, touching a car meant spending money to repair it. If she ran out of money, she would have to go back to driving a big truck to transport goods … It was obviously not worth it in the long run.
Zhang Yan patiently sped up one lap after another. Although there was still a long way to go before the standard lap time, it was already getting better and better compared to her previous results.

January 28th, Monday …
Early in the morning, Ye Zhizhou ran to find Hu Xianbin to discuss matters related to Safe and Civilized Driving.
In the large office, most people were busy, but Hu Xianbin was yawning at his desk, looking like he had nothing to do.
And the seat opposite him was empty. There was no one there.
Ye Zhizhou was a little surprised. "Boss Ma didn't come today?"
Hu Xianbin nodded. "Yes, he didn't come last Friday. Boss Ma said that he's going into seclusion to write his graduation thesis. He won't be coming in the near future. If there's anything, let me handle it myself. "
Ye Zhizhou: "…"
Good heavens, how could the Vice-President neglect his work for his graduation thesis?
He felt that this was a little ridiculous.
However, it was fortunate that Boss Ma had handed all the work to Hu Xianbin before he left.
"I'm here this time mainly to convey Boss Pei's spirit. I still need more cooperation from Bunny Tail Live-Stream for the subsequent operation and promotion of the game, Safe and Civilized Driving," Ye Zhizhou said.
Hu Xianbin nodded. "No problem. You can cooperate in any way. Tell me."
Ye Zhizhou pondered for a moment. "Tell me briefly about the live-stream of Safe and Civilized Driving on Bunny Tail Live-Stream first. After all, what gamers say and what they think might be different. I don't want to make a wrong judgment."
Hu Xianbin immediately dug out some back-end data and began to analyze it.
Both of them were game designers. Naturally, they knew what the other party was thinking.
Ye Zhizhou wanted to verify some of his guesses and ideas through the popularity of the live-stream and understand the players' true mentality.
Many players could find discussions about Safe and Civilized Driving on the forum. They could also tell the players' attitude towards this game from this, but that was not enough.
That was because many players were dishonest. They might say that they did not like a certain setting, but in fact, they would never get tired of it because of the game's setting.
What's more, if they paid too much attention to the comments online, they might ignore the silent majority and misjudge the situation.
On the other hand, the data in the live-stream could reflect the players' true attitude.
