Chapter 144 You still need to take a driver’s license test while playing games?

Tianba Studio has become more formalized and the team division of labor has become clearer, which has not affected the normal operation of its games.

Players don’t know this either.

They only know that according to the live broadcast of Emperor Piyan, Brother Ba seems to be developing a racing game.

"Racing game?"

When he heard the news, Xu Liang was playing the entertainment melee mode of "Star Emperor" with his friends.

A friend told him that Tianba Studio’s new game is a racing game, and it can also be played online. He asked him if he wanted to play it together then?

"decide as things go."

Xu Liang doesn't like playing racing games very much, mainly because these games are a bit too boring in his opinion.

He is a rich second generation.

Xu Liang, who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. With a super, super, super rich father, no matter what he asked for, he would be satisfied.

Play racing in the game?

Stop making trouble!

He has a lot of sports cars in his garage. If he is really interested in racing, he can go to the track and play around through friends.

Why play games when you can experience this adrenaline rush in real life? If you can play with real cars, no one is really stupid enough to play games, right?

But then again.

Although he is not interested in racing games, his friend is a loyal racing game player. Even if he doesn't like to play, it doesn't hurt to play with friends.

"Let's talk about it after it's released! This game hasn't even been released yet, how do you know if it's fun or not?"

"It'll be fun for sure!"

The friend said firmly: "Since Tianba Studio can develop a game like "Star Emperor", I believe this racing game will be good as well."

"Although the game has not been released, who says we can't play it? Tianba official website has a reservation qualification event. If you win the lottery, you can go offline to participate in the trial..."

Book a trial?

When Xu Liang heard this word, he immediately laughed out loud: "There shouldn't be many places, right? There are so many people making reservations, how can you guarantee that you will be selected?"

"Just pay for it."

Xu Liang's friend is also a rich second generation, with not much else but a lot of money. As long as the money is enough, someone will definitely be willing to give up this spot.

As for whether the official will hold people accountable and crack down on this kind of reselling of quotas, there is a high probability that they will not.

Because this kind of thing is difficult to prove.

And it's just an opportunity to try it offline. In the end, it's not worth much money. If someone wants to buy a quota, it doesn't hurt to make a fortune for the player who won the lottery.

"Where is the location?"

"Jiang Ning!"

My friend said excitedly: "Don't you really want to visit the Jiangning station of the GAL League? What should I say? Let's go and have fun together?"

"Okay!"

All his friends had invited him, so it would be unreasonable not to go with him.

It just so happens that Jiangning is not far from Zhonghai, it only takes a few hours to drive. Moreover, during the end of the year, Xu Liang did have quite a lot of free time, so he could go out for a walk.

As expected, Xu Liang's friend has great powers. After using his money-making ability, he got two reservations for trial play. The time is Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

For this pre-registration trial, about 200 places have been released.

But there were only more than 150 people who came to the scene. Many of them are game-related media reporters, as well as game bloggers and portal information website editors.

Xu Liang still thinks too much.

At this time of the twelfth lunar month, except for the rich second generation like them who have nothing to do, even if others win the quota, they don't have time to make a special trip to Jiangning to participate in the so-called offline trial.

“Poor timing!”

"really!"

After hearing what his friend said, Xu Liang nodded and said: "This time is too embarrassing, and it's still a weekday morning, so the players are not here at all."

Tianba Studio has too little experience.

Maybe this was their first time holding a so-called offline trial event, and they had no relevant organizational experience, so it was a bit embarrassing.

If we change the time and promote it better, maybe this offline trial activity will be more popular and attract more attention. It wouldn't be like now, with not many players coming to support it.

Xu Liang didn't know.

In fact, Tianba Studio has already considered what he said. The reason why the offline trial activities were so hasty and the time was not chosen well is because time waits for no one.

The studio is about to have a holiday, and Brother Ba is also packing his luggage and preparing to buy tickets and go home.

If we don’t do it now, when the first lunar month comes, there will be no time to hold offline trial activities. If we continue to postpone it, is it still necessary to hold an offline trial?

Just be hasty.

Although the time was special and not many people came, Tianba Studio was still fully prepared and specially booked a high-end Internet cafe, with tea, drinks and souvenirs all prepared.

certainly!

People who came here for the offline trial didn't even care about the small gifts carefully prepared by Tianba Studio. They only saw the game demo without an icon.

Xu Liang and his friends sat down in front of the computer, and under the guidance of Tianba staff, logged into the test account.

These accounts are special.

The special thing is that the passwords of these accounts are only known by the staff. Players can only try them out and cannot take them away or keep game records.

Moreover, photography and filming are strictly prohibited on site, and various live broadcasts are not allowed. It is said that this is to prevent game leaks.

"Are you so strict?"

Xu Liang was speechless. A broken game looks like a military secret. Is it necessary?

Forget it, it’s here!

No matter what, he came to the trial event and must experience this game, otherwise wouldn't his visit be in vain?

"Bald Programmer 08"

"Single Planning Wang 14"

He and his friends received special test accounts and had nicknames early on.

Xu Liang has nothing to complain about such a nickname that is full of artificiality. After all, it is an officially provided account, as long as it can be played, who cares what its name is?

Moreover.

One of the biggest advantages of this kind of dedicated test account is that almost all currencies in the game have a full value of 9.99 million.

It plays just like the cracked version. You can buy whatever car you want. It’s so fun!

As soon as he entered the game, Xu Liang saw a very simple garage page, which contained only one Huazi Smart Driving series tram.

This is supposed to be a newbie vehicle.

He turned his head and glanced at his friend's computer screen. Sure enough, he was Hua Zi's smart car just like him.

Huazi gave you money, right?

The two of them have no interest in this kind of novice car at all. Since it is a racing game and there are endless game coins to spend, the first thing must be to buy a good car.

The map is the M key.

Open the map skillfully and then teleport to the "Tianba Automobile Trading" company.

Tianba Auto Trade is indeed the only formal car purchase channel officially designated by the game. There are really many models here!

Sort the brands according to the letters A-Z. Players can choose their favorite brand to buy vehicles, or they can choose based on price.

You can also choose new energy, SUV, sedan, minivan, pickup...

"Ah! There's no sports car?"

After rummaging through the car selection page for a long time, Xu Liang was surprised when he didn't see the sports car he wanted.

Forget about sports cars.

There isn't even a million-dollar luxury car here, and the most expensive car only costs more than 400,000 yuan and no more than 500,000 yuan.

What the hell!

As a second-generation rich man, Xu Liang had never seen such a weird racing game before? Without sports cars and luxury cars, how to choose these cars?

He doesn't understand!

In reality, he has never driven a car with a starting price of less than one million. A little more high-profile, he even thinks that a car with less than one million cannot be called a car.

"What car did you buy?"

Xu Liang was at a loss and planned to refer to his friend's choice. After all, he really didn't know much about cars and didn't know how to choose between these mobility scooters and family cars.

"Dizi's tram!"

My friend chose a new energy king model and said with a smile: "I have driven this car and it feels good for half a million yuan. What about you?"

"I'm the same as you."

Since he couldn't tell the difference between the good and the bad anyway, Xu Liang decided to follow his friend's choice and buy whatever car he bought.

"This game is not good. We are actually asked to drive these crappy cars..."

After Xu Liang paid the money, he still said speechlessly: "How can there be a racing game that doesn't allow players to drive luxury cars and sports cars? They are all grocery trucks and family cars. It's a shame they can think of it."

"well enough!"

My friend was not as angry as Xu Liang. Instead, he felt that after getting tired of driving sports cars and luxury cars, he suddenly played a game where he could only drive a household scooter, which had a fresh and refreshing aesthetic.

This mentality has nothing to do with whether he is a rich second generation.

It's just like other racing games, with luxury cars and sports cars everywhere, I'm tired of looking at them. After eating a lot of big fish and meat, it’s actually not bad to occasionally have a bite of green vegetables to relieve tiredness.

In fact, in addition to buying a Dizi tram, he also bought a sacred Wuling car.

He has never seen this thing in other games. He has long wanted to experience what it feels like to race with a magic car in the game.

Tianba Auto Trade is very professional.

Shortly after the two made the payment, the new car was delivered to the garage.

Once you have a car you like, it’s time to experience the key gameplay of the racing game and sign up for the racing competition!

Xu Liang thought so too.

There are many competition registration points on the map. You can register to participate as long as you go there. The rewards are different, and some competitions have different difficulty levels of "stand-alone/networking".

"Registration failed!"

Looking at the registration failure prompt on the screen, Xu Liang wondered: "I'm not qualified to participate? What's going on?"

"I do not have either!"

After my friend said this, he suddenly started studying. Because the game has not yet released a novice guide, the two of them don't know what the problem is.

After trying for a long time, they finally found the problem: they did not obtain a "driver's license"!

Xu Liang: "..."

What a genius design!

He never dreamed that the first difficulty he would face while playing a broken racing game would be to test for a driver's license.

The game designer who came up with this thing must have some evil intentions, right? Do you have to let everyone experience the pain of taking the driver's license test again in the game?

Without a driver's license, you cannot register to compete.

It’s not just a matter of competition. Without a driver’s license, players can’t even drive on the road normally.

Then take one exam!

When he came to Tianba Driving School, he clicked on the driving license test, and soon Xu Liang entered a dungeon plane.

The first test: [Road Traffic Safety Laws, Regulations and Related Knowledge Examination]!

There are 10 questions in total, and you can pass if you answer 6 questions correctly.

The questions are all randomly selected from the real question bank of Subject 1. They are moderately difficult, but not as exaggerated as the real Subject 1. After all, there are only ten questions, and you can pass by answering six questions correctly.

These questions did not trouble Xu Liang.

I passed subject one by three times, five and divided by two, and soon entered the mock examination of subject two.

Reverse into the garage, S-turn, side parking, right-angle turn, half-slope start...

"It's simply outrageous!"

Seeing these familiar test items, Xu Liang was stunned.

This game was really too abstract. He had never seen a racing game that would add these things to it.

But don't say...

It’s really a different experience to reverse the car into the garage in the game, it’s so novel! Even though he had already passed the test, he still couldn't help but want to take the test a second time.

Who in the family understands?

It would be great if taking the driving license test in real life could be as easy as in the game! Especially when reversing into the garage, you can use the roof top view, which is really refreshing.

"It's quite interesting."

A friend joked: "The difficulty is not high, and the bird's-eye view is provided. Is there anyone who can't pass it?"

"Section 3 is a little different!"

After hearing this, my friend suddenly became interested: "What do you mean? Is the third grade of science different from reality?"

"no the same!"

Xu Liang stared at the "Please wait for the make-up exam" prompt on the screen, shook his head and said.

Where is this from the third subject?

Section 3 in the game completely simulates a real game. Only if you get first place will you be considered passed, otherwise you will have to take a make-up exam.

The overall difficulty is very low.

The main reason was that he didn't react. Why were there traffic lights during the race, as well as bicycles and Laotou Le? Do you even need to give way to pedestrians?

ah? !

The first time, he didn't pay attention to the traffic light, accidentally ran the red light and was given a 10-second penalty, and then failed.

He couldn't even figure out this special mechanism.

This was the first time he saw the mechanism of waiting for traffic lights in a racing game. Generally speaking, wouldn't it be enough to just drive forward without thinking?

and……

The dog must deserve to die!

It’s really a lot of experience to be able to get jammed while playing a racing game. Moreover, the gameplay of this game is so thrilling and thrilling.

The quality of these humans and machines is hugely inferior!

Xu Liang couldn't help but want to curse. Who designed these human machines? How come the quality is so poor, and you just try to get in when you are given some loopholes?

Forget it.

Have you ever seen a man-machine honking his horn and even sticking his head out the window to squirt at you after parking the car?

The quality is so impressive!

He has played so many games, and the people and machines in "Fast" are the worst quality people he has ever seen, perfectly interpreting what it means to be a road bully.

"Hahaha!"

Xu Liang was about to be defeated by the human machine, but after his friend went to experience Subject 3, he smiled.

"Interesting, really interesting."

"These human-machine machines are so interesting. Even if they are not human-machine machines, I would have thought they were players!"

They drive so smartly.

Manji even knew that he was ready to start when there were only a few seconds left in the countdown to the red light. His main goal was to race against time, which made him look stupid.
