Chapter 213 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix
?Wang Dawei temporarily removed the miniature steering wheel from the handle and replaced it with the joystick.
I have to say that this mini steering wheel feels pretty good, much better than he expected.
?At first I thought it was just a toy, but I didn’t expect it could really improve the driving experience.
?Especially when the vehicle passes through different road surfaces, the vibration feedback will also change, which can really effectively enhance the sense of substitution.
But Wang Dawei won''t need it for the time being, because he has become a glorious delivery boy.
In the game, the driving methods of bicycles, electric scooters and motorcycles are obviously not suitable for using a steering wheel. At this time, using a handle will be more suitable.
Changing from the mini steering wheel to the joystick, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but I quickly got used to it.
??This game has also done a good job in optimizing the controller, and the speed of the battery car is much slower than that of the taxi. Wang Dawei can keep holding the right trigger button and can still react at the top speed.
“Let me see how to take orders…”
At this time, the game screen still has a navigation screen similar to that of a taxi driver, except that it used to be a route map for picking up and delivering passengers, but now it has become a route map for picking up and delivering food.
“Ding! You have a new takeout order!”
?Wang Dawei hurriedly rode a small battery car to the hotel at the target location.
Since it is a driving simulation game, there are not many internal structures of buildings in the game. Only a few areas such as the player''s residence and garage can enter the interior.
Delivering food can be done directly downstairs. After riding a small battery car to the designated location, the system will randomly refresh a waiting time for food delivery. After arriving at the designated location, it will randomly refresh a waiting time for food delivery. After leaving, an order is considered complete.
?Wang Dawei was riding a small battery car and suddenly felt that his gaming experience had indeed improved significantly.
?Although the flow of people on the non-motorized road is not small, there are often other bicycles, electric scooters or pedestrians, but as long as you ride carefully, it is not a big problem.
But soon after Wang Dawei delivered the first order, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
The game time at this time is approaching noon, and the peak meal period has arrived!
?Wang Dawei watched helplessly as five or six orders were forced onto his navigation screen, and the time for the orders was counting down rapidly!
?Many of these orders are not going smoothly. When you run one of the orders, you are getting further and further away from the other orders without realizing it, and you always have to make a lot of backtracking.
What’s even more outrageous is that the waiting time for picking up and delivering food is completely random!
Once Wang Dawei waited at the door of a restaurant for five minutes until all the flowers withered.
Know that this is in a game, not in reality.
In reality, it is normal for a delivery person to wait for more than ten minutes. At most, he or she will play on his mobile phone while waiting. But the game is different. The game itself is a highly immersive activity. Once stopped, the rhythm will be interrupted, which has a great impact on the game experience. Huge destructive effect.
What''s more, seeing all the orders counting down rapidly, Wang Dawei was so anxious that even five minutes felt like a year!
“Ding! Your takeout order is about to time out!”
If the order times out, money will be deducted according to a certain proportion. The more the timeout is, the more money will be deducted.
??Although after a certain period of time, the money deducted will no longer increase, Wang Dawei can''t mess with it, because this situation will randomly trigger complaints, and once a complaint is made, the money will be deducted!
? ? Only 20 yuan will be deducted for overtime, and if there is a complaint, the starting fee will be 200 yuan, and if the situation is slightly more serious, it will be 500 yuan. If it is particularly serious, it can even be deducted up to 1,000 yuan!
? And unlike in reality, money deductions for complaints in the game are completely random. It is impossible to call the NPC to plead for him to cancel the complaint, and it is impossible to find the food delivery platform to defend rights.
Once you encounter it, you can only consider yourself unlucky and highlight a stimulus!
?Wang Dawei unknowingly became more and more anxious.
At first, he honestly rode according to the traffic rules, but soon because the order was about to expire, and he saw many other people riding electric bicycles running red lights unscrupulously, Wang Dawei gradually began to become numb and started running red lights himself. .
?After breaking in, I found out, hey, there doesn’t seem to be any punishment?
??There were no police officers who suddenly came out and pinned him to the ground, or fined him or criticized him.
But after playing for a while, Wang Dawei began to fall into self-doubt.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
I actually work as a food delivery person in the game...
?At first, Wang Dawei delivered a few takeout orders and earned some income, which felt good. But soon, he suddenly realized that this was no different from delivering food in reality!
?The only difference is that you can actually make money by delivering food in reality, but you can only earn game currency by delivering food in the game...
At this moment, something worse happened.
?Wang Dawei was running a red light as usual to deliver an order that was about to run out, when a car sped past the intersection!
Even though the car was braking hard and left two tire tracks on the ground, it still hit Wang Dawei firmly and knocked him aside. But this time was different from the previous car accident. Wang Dawei noticed that the driver who got out of the car actually had a line of green characters on his head.
This means that he is actually a player!
At this time, Wang Dawei also heard the player''s voice coming from his headphones.
“It’s broken, brothers, what should we do now?
“What? The Heimlich maneuver? Are you sure it’s this? I’ve never heard of it. Is there any problem?
“Okay, then I will believe you brothers, let me see.
“Hey, why did you pick the person up? Is this really no problem?”
Wang Dawei was stunned when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Brother! Behemlich! You want me to die!"
“Listen to me, don’t touch me now, go to your car to get a bandage and give me a simple bandage...
“Hello? Can you hear me?
“Hey, hey, hey!”
?Wang Dawei tried to communicate with the other party, but to no avail. It was obvious that although he had turned on the mic at this time, according to the game mechanism, since the game character was unconscious, he could only listen but not speak.
??He could only watch in despair as the other party picked him up from behind and performed first aid using the Heimlich maneuver.
At this moment, Wang Dawei suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar, and when he looked carefully at the name on the other person''s head, he saw that it was "Lecturer Xiao Ding".
“Help! The big anchor is killing people!”
?Wang Dawei was wailing, but Lecturer Ding in the game obviously couldn''t hear him at all and was still giving first aid seriously.
“Hey, brothers, is this considered a success? Why is there no prompt in this game?”
??The comments in the live broadcast rooms on both sides were almost laughing like crazy.
“Good guy, you scored twice, right?”
“Brother David and Instructor Ding are just incompetent. At least you can search for the Heimlich maneuver, and you won’t be deceived by the barrage so easily.”
“It can only be said that the cultural level of the anchors is still worrying. Top academics like Brother David and illiterate instructors like Ding have all fallen behind!”
“It’s good. At least this game has made many people know what the Heimlich maneuver is used for, which can be considered a great merit...”
?Wang Dawei was speechless. He cut to Lecturer Ding’s live broadcast room and posted a paid barrage.
“Brother Ding, you almost killed me with your first aid!”
Only then did Lecturer Ding notice that something was wrong, but the police had already arrived and pinned his hands on the car behind his back.
"Ah? Is this brother also an anchor? I''m sorry, brother, I didn''t mean to do it. I am fully responsible for this barrage!"
Lecturer Ding was very embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. After handling the accident, the two of them had no contact with each other. There is no friend system in this game. The so-called online gameplay only allows everyone to drive in the same city. There won’t be any team-up dungeon content.
At this point, the players began to come to their senses. This game was specially designed to be played online, and it seemed to be designed to disgust the players!
Take the previous car accident as an example, why did it happen?
Because Lecturer Ding drove through the traffic light intersection and did not observe carefully. Of course, the more important reason is that Wang Dawei rode a battery scooter and ran through the red light.
But why did he run the red light? Because the takeout order is going to time out!
?Thinking about it more carefully, in fact, these existing professions in the game basically have some pitfalls.
Delivery workers have to rush, otherwise their money will be deducted and they will be complained; taxi drivers have to rush, because of passenger satisfaction; office workers have to rush, otherwise their wages will be deducted if they are late; long-distance freight drivers still have to rush , because delivery is also time-limited!
??The only ones who seem relatively free are Internet celebrities.
But the problem is that Internet celebrity itself is a part-time profession, and it is best to have a full-time job.
Of course, players can also skip their job at all and simply drive in the city, but if they do so, the system will give a warning, and the key is that without the support of their job, if the anchor does not make money, then it will be a penny. The income is gone!
What’s more, as an Internet celebrity anchor, if you want to be popular, you have to work hard!
How to survive in this game? Driving step by step is definitely not possible. Thinking about it, any way of organizing your life will probably cause a certain degree of traffic chaos.
In other words, the only reason why "Road Rage Simulator" has an online mode is to deliberately put players together and then use mechanisms to cause friction between them!
