Chapter 161 Rich List in the Game

Chapter 161 Rich List in the Game

The wind of "Fast" blew to the other side of the ocean and to Los Santos.

Sam loves this game.

Wow!

He likes this game mainly for two reasons. The first reason is that the physics engine of this game is so powerful that he felt shocked.

As for the second reason, maybe it’s because the cars in this game are so cool!

Sam, who has just entered college, has a father who is an avid car enthusiast. Under his influence, Sam has been fond of cars and car culture since he was a child.

He has played dozens of racing games, large and small. Frankly speaking, there are many masterpieces among them, but he always feels that there is something missing...

Only after a friend introduced a racing game from China, namely "Speed", did he understand what was lacking.

A model I’ve never seen before!

This is so cool! He was very excited to play with various cars from across the ocean, especially the special models such as Santengzi and Laotoule. He simply loved them.

"Cell head fever?"

"No, no, it's Lao Tou Le!"

"Old man happy? Why did you give this car such a strange name?"

Sam couldn't figure out why such a cool electric car had such a strange name? Make the elderly feel happy?

All right!

Maybe this car refers to a power-assisted electric car for the elderly? Sam came up with an explanation based on the explanation given by his friend.

However, this is not important...

My friend, instead of caring what the name of this car is, why not get in this cool car, turn up the music to the max, roll down the windows, and let me take you around the city.

“What a beautiful city!”

Jiangning, Sam has never been to this city, but he can guarantee that his understanding of Jiangning is as good as the Chinese understanding of Los Santos.

Don’t ask, it’s our spiritual hometown where we have never met!

He drove his beloved car in this city for nearly 400 hours, which is a very long time.

But now he ran into a problem.

Sam's favorite car, the Old Man Le, has its durability approaching zero and is about to be scrapped.

There is no way to fix it...

This car has been repaired countless times, but the aging of parts is difficult to prevent. Unless every part is replaced, the durability will still drop.

No matter how reluctant you are to leave, it’s time to say goodbye!

Restoring the durability is too expensive and requires a huge amount of game currency, which is not cost-effective for Sam. Instead of repairing the durability of this old car, it is better to buy a new car.

After giving away his car happily, Sam planned to go to the 4S store in the game to buy a new car to replace this old car as his second mobility scooter in the game.

But just after he came up with this idea and took action on it, he discovered something extremely terrifying!

In the game "Speed", there are actually tens of thousands of car brands and models on sale.

Half of them are models that exist in reality, and the other half are virtual models that do not even exist in reality but only exist in the game.

"This is absolutely crazy!"

There are tens of thousands of car brands, this number is really terrifying. In all his life, Sam has never seen so many car brands.

How to choose?

"Sir, Pineapple Auto is trustworthy! Our new Pineapple Mini is priced at only 276,000 yuan..."

"The price of Sima Tianba cars is greatly reduced! The cash price is reduced by 60,000 yuan. If you buy it now, you will get a free commercial insurance worth 7,800 yuan."

"The Huiba S2 is coming! The number one car in "Speed" and has been praised and certified by millions of car owners. If you buy it now, you can also enjoy exclusive optional privileges..."

Too many, too many!

Ever since players discovered the alternative way of building cars in "Speed ​​Race", a large number of car brands have emerged instantly.

Electric trains, petrol cars, SUVs and cars are all available.

The prosperous age of automobiles, which has never appeared in human history, actually appeared in a game. The advent of the era of universal car manufacturing has become Sam's happiest worry now.

He really doesn't know what to choose...

There are so many models on sale, and many of them are independently developed by players, and there are no real cars for reference in reality.

If each car was to be tested for a test drive, it would take no less than a month, or even longer.

So, Sam planned to seek help from a "car reviewer".

That's right!

On the Youtu video website, there are thousands of car reviewers, large and small, active, including those who specialize in reviewing new cars in "Speed".

Sam opened the web version of Oil Rabbit.

First open the game live branch option, and then select "Crazy for Speed ​​Elite", which is the English name of "Crazy Speed ​​Elite".

Soon, the webpage was refreshed with a large number of live video clips of the game about speed and fury.

"Hi Guys! Welcome to the Richard Channel. Today we are going to talk about some of the most worth buying new cars in the price range of 300,000-400,000 in "Fast". Come on!"

"The first car is called Lightning Five-Continuous Whip. It is said that the design idea came from a traditional Chinese kung fu master. OK! Without further ado, let's get into the actual testing phase..."

Richard is a "Fast" live video blogger that Sam follows. He was also the first video blogger to sense a business opportunity and transform into a full-time game and car reviewer.

His videos are hilarious!

And the reviews are in-depth and detailed enough, clearly explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each car. The only problem with the video may be that he has received sponsorship from these manufacturers...

Oh no, this is not rigorous enough.

To be precise, the cars that Richard reviewed were all independently developed by the players in "Assault", so what he received was not sponsorship from the manufacturers, but benefits from these players.

This is completely understandable.

Suppose Sam is a "Speed" player. He builds a car in the game and wants more people to drive the car and use the car to earn in-game currency.

Then, he wouldn't mind spending one or two thousand dollars to sponsor Richard's live video and let him help him spread some good words.

But that has nothing to do with Sam.

It didn't matter whether Richard collected the money or not. What was important was that through Richard's videos, he had a better understanding of the cars he was interested in.

certainly!

Just a preliminary understanding is not enough. The game currency in "Speed" is not easy to earn. Hundreds of thousands of game currency are Sam's entire assets. He needs to learn more about the failure rate and after-sales situation of these new cars.

Mainly maintenance benefits.

In order to promote new cars, the profiteers in the game have tried their best to sell them, including offering insurance, optional equipment, decorations, and gifts, which are all trivial!

The real benefit is that car purchasers can enjoy a specified number of free repair services in the player's repair and modification workshop.

Everyone is rolled up!

In the game "Speed", players have established no less than 7,000 car companies.

There were originally more car companies...

However, the business competition was so cruel that many players couldn't hold on and eventually went bankrupt, leaving only these more than 7,000 car companies still struggling to get involved.

"This car is nice..."

Sam finally chose a new car developed by a well-known "Asphalt" player and a master robot who has set many records in many events.

Robot 2 generation, he is very satisfied.

This car is one of the hottest-selling cars in "Speed" and is firmly at the top of the sales list.

It is said that Robot himself, relying on the hot sales of the first and second generation models, has jumped to the top of the "Fast" rich list and is the richest man in Jiangning Island, with a net worth of 5 billion yuan.

"5 billion..."

Sam counted on his fingers. He played games every day without eating or drinking to set clearance records and get rewards for various events. It was estimated that he would have to work hard for another two hundred years to catch up with the Robot master.

This is so scary!

Although this is just the currency in the game and cannot mean anything, is there a possibility that these game coins will be worth a lot of money if sold?

“It’s a bit expensive!”

Although he had chosen a model, the price of the Robot 2 was already beyond Sam's acceptable range and was a full 100,000 yuan higher than his car purchase budget.

The price of the Robot generation has been greatly reduced, making it much cheaper, and it is completely affordable with his car-buying budget.

But the configuration and design of the first generation are really far behind compared to the new model.

Sam still understands the principle of buying new rather than old. He would rather spend some money on a new model than regret buying an old one.

"Friend, don't worry!"

After learning about Sam's troubles, Robot Car Sales said excitedly that "Speed" is about to receive an update, which will provide car finance loan services for 1-20 years.

After waiting two more days, Sam won't have to worry about budget issues and can safely take delivery of the new car.

"Waterfa, really?"

Sam was greatly surprised. He didn't expect the game developers to be so considerate. Knowing that many players faced the problem of insufficient budget when buying cars, they actually thoughtfully provided financial loan services?

"Of course it's true. Just wait for two days until the game updates and then come to me."

Sales don't lie.

He said to wait two days, and it really was two days. At noon on Friday, "Speed" pushed a new round of game update packages.

After Sam updated the game and logged into the online mode again, he found that he could actually apply for a financial loan.

What's there to hesitate about?

With a 3-year direct loan, you can get the top version of Robot 2 and only need to pay back 4,700 yuan in monthly installments.

Like Sam, players who dare not buy too expensive new cars due to budget constraints were all happy when they received this round of push updates.

If it were a real life decision between buying a car and paying the full amount, they might still have to hesitate.

But when buying a car in the game, why are you hesitating?

The direct loan has a maximum amount and a maximum term, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to repay the car loan. When you really can’t afford it, you can just cancel your account and start all over again.

what?

My buddy has lost his account, which is equivalent to reviving his life. How can you still chase after him and ask for a car loan?

…

"Innocent!"

Regarding the thoughts of many players, those old fans of Tianba Games, especially those who have played "The Survival Simulator", now just want to laugh.

Is it okay if I cancel my account?

What an international joke! The "Fateful Reincarnation Loan" pioneered by Brother Ba back then was useless even if I deleted the archive!

The mortgage loan is already like this, you still want to miss Brother Ba’s car loan?

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being Brother Ba!"

"The memories of the dead suddenly attack me. Isn't this the fate of reincarnation again?"

"Otherwise? The money you owe to others may be wiped out by death. The money you owe Brother Ba will have to be repaid in the next life!"

"No, Brother Ba, I haven't paid off the mortgage of Tianba Haoyuan yet, so why do I have to bear the car loan again? Please let me go, and let someone else do the harm..."

How can this be a disaster?

Chen Ba, who saw these player comments, couldn't help but complain: "To be honest, isn't this the choice you made yourself? Why do you still blame me?"

"Haha, mainly because I didn't expect that I could take on a car loan and a house loan at the same time while playing a game, so I could become a negative second mortgage loan!"

Xiao Lu joked.

Play Tianba game, you will suffer the old sin!

In the past, there was "Household Simulator" to buy a house in installments, and later there was "Growth" to buy a car in installments. Brother Ba does not leave a way for everyone to survive at all!

"Don't be embarrassed, this is different from "The Survival Simulator"..."

Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said: "The biggest difference between "Speed" is that this game has created a group of profiteers!"

There is only one profiteer in "Beyond the Fence Simulator", and that is Brother Ba! After all, only "Tianba Real Estate" can develop real estate and sell off-plan properties to harvest players' game coins.

But in the game "Assault", Chen Ba is not the only one who is a profiteer...

There are car reviewers!

After a period of evolution, "Speed" has created a virtual car circle and formed an industrial chain.

The player builds a car and then sells it. Car reviewers help to praise it. Other players come to buy the car. If the car crashes, they go to the player to repair the car...

Game coins are no longer officially recycled, but circulated between players.

"Too abstract!"

Thinking of the top ten richest people ranked by the "Fast Race" community, Chen Ba's expression became very tense.

This game is really easy for them to play!

A good racing game, it can be played as a car repair simulator. It has something to do with the main body, and this is also due to the physics engine.

But what is the situation now?

The launch of the Top Ten Rich List and the rise of thousands of car companies have directly turned this game into a virtual version of the "Car Circle Business War".

Want to start a business?

Then come to "Speed" to build a car and experience the most realistic entrepreneurial process and the most cruel business war environment.

There are already car reviewers, but this business war simulation is not realistic enough?

What does it mean to slander a friend?

Directly complain on the forum, saying that your car is not good, but my car is better. Don't buy the car made by him, it is just industrial garbage.

What's more, they even formed cliques in the game, formed small circles, formed their own camps, and attracted a large number of allies.

Those who know it is a car racing game, but those who don’t know it may think it is some kind of business tycoon simulation management game!

After all, have you ever seen players of any game hold a press conference specifically for the cars built in the game?

No doubt!

There are such players in "Speed", and there are even dedicated automotive media, car enthusiast groups and sales teams in the game...
