Chapter 1432 Attempting to Drift!

Quite a few players have expressed concerns about *Ghost General 2*.

Evidently, this promotional method really worked!

Meng Chang didn't use any tricks at all; he simply and honestly told all the players that "*Ghost General 2* is a fighting game," without doing anything to mislead them.

But it was precisely because he was so honest that it triggered all sorts of worries among the players.

Pei Qian couldn't help but beam with joy, "This Meng Chang is quite capable! My trust in you was not misplaced!"

"Now he's even learned to extrapolate and play tricks! No longer using the same old three-trick routine until it's worn out!"

"Not bad, it seems incentives are the biggest source of creativity."

Pei Qian was satisfied. It seemed the promotional plan for *Ghost General 2* was a success. Now, all that remained was to see how the game performed after its launch.

...

...

January 27th, Sunday.

On Rabbit Tail Live, Zhang Yan's stream.

At this moment, Zhang Yan was on a racetrack, diligently practicing drifting in a circle.

She stared intently at the screen, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, stepping on the gas pedal, and then executing a series of skilled maneuvers!

But all that happened was that the car began to spin out of control, eventually stopping far away from the center cone of the circle.

Fortunately, the track was very wide, and there were no collisions.

Zhang Yan was a bit frustrated. "Ah! Too much gas!"

"Damn it, I was so proficient with the training car, but after switching to my own car, I'm back to square one..."

"Should I just sell this car and buy the same model as the training car?"

"No, no, wouldn't that be stupid? I'll keep practicing with this car! I refuse to believe that I can't reach a state of perfect harmony with the car through diligent practice!"

Zhang Yan didn't believe in fate and continued practicing.

Drifting is a very difficult skill for ordinary people. It's definitely impossible to start practicing on the racetrack right away. At the very least, you need to master the circle drift and figure-eight drift before you can be considered to have a basic understanding.

And Zhang Yan said that she had practiced a little drifting in real life, but in reality, she had only practiced the circle drift. After not practicing for so long, she had long since returned the knowledge to her former teacher.

As for a real racing license, she had never taken the test.

Getting a real racing license isn't necessarily difficult, but it's not easy either, it all depends on which level you're testing for. A low-level license only requires finding a training base, spending tens of thousands of yuan, and training for a few days, and you can basically get it. But some high-level licenses are difficult, the money burned on the car alone is a bottomless pit.

Moreover, real racing licenses are also divided into many types, such as rally, track, and drift.

Some low-level licenses mainly focus on racing culture, theoretical knowledge, safety explanations, starting, shifting, emergency braking, handbrake, cornering, line-taking, track practice, walking the course, and lap time assessment. Some of this content seems to overlap with the driver's license test, but it's not the same thing at all.

The racing license test mainly teaches people how to drive in a racing manner. The same starting and shifting, driving a race car is definitely different from driving a private car.

The racing license test in the game is not exactly the same as in reality, and has been greatly simplified.

This is because Ye Zhizhou felt that many steps in the real racing test were cumbersome and not suitable for the specific situation in the game.

Of course, there is a reason why the racing test steps in reality are cumbersome. After all, in reality, if there is an accident, at least your wallet will be seriously injured, and at worst, the driver will be seriously injured, and it may affect others. Therefore, it is necessary to be stable and foolproof before entering the next stage.

And although *Safe and Civilized Driving* also costs younger siblings and money when there is a car accident, the money in the game is earned by the players' hard work, which is definitely not the same concept as in reality.

Ye Zhizhou's understanding of *Safe and Civilized Driving* is that high fidelity, tiered difficulty, and strong punishment measures, which do not require complete strict adherence to reality. Just like the game's driver's license test combines Subject One and Subject Four and turns it into 50 questions, it shows Ye Zhizhou's design concept.

In the game, players need to take three racing licenses. The first is the basic racing license test. The test content is relatively simple, with only three items: professional knowledge test, circle drift, and track practice.

The professional knowledge test mainly tests some professional knowledge related to racing. The circle drift requires maintaining the test car in a circle for a certain period of time, and the track practice is to run an entry-level track and complete it within the time limit.

After passing all of this, you will get a primary racing license and can participate in some entry-level events.

After that, there are also special track and rally licenses, but those are not problems that Zhang Yan can consider at the moment.

The primary racing license is not difficult. Zhang Yan learned some theoretical knowledge online, watched the teaching of other streamers, and passed the test after two days of hard work.

After passing the racing license, she happily used the money she earned from driving large trucks and long-distance buses to buy a new race car.

Then, tragedy struck.

She found that she couldn't do a circle drift!

Because the model of the race car she used to get her license was different from the model she's driving now, and the performance of each car is different, the operations required for drifting will naturally change.

The so-called circle drift is actually to ensure that the vehicle continues to drift in a circular trajectory through a series of operations such as giving the gas, turning the steering wheel, arching the tail outwards, and following the direction. The figure-eight drift is equivalent to drifting two circles and switching freely between different trajectories.

Learning these two types of drifting and forming muscle memory can allow you to adapt to different bends and adopt different cornering strategies in the track, otherwise the so-called drifting through corners is purely relying on luck.

In the process of circle drifting, if the sliding angle of the tail does not match the steering angle of the steering wheel, the car will spin out of control, just like the situation Zhang Yan encountered just now.

Therefore, if you want to master drifting, you must be able to see the trajectory of the vehicle and adjust and control it through the steering wheel and throttle, so that the vehicle is always on the trajectory of the circle.

If they are some experienced drivers, they can control the drift trajectory of the vehicle only by the depth of the throttle without touching the steering wheel. If the vehicle trajectory is obviously outside, they will increase the throttle, otherwise they will reduce the throttle.

Of course, these contents are simple to say, but too difficult to do.

Although Zhang Yan had passed the racing license test before, the model is different now, and the familiar feeling on the previous test car is not applicable to this new car!

She still has to get familiar with it again.

However, she was not discouraged, but continued to practice patiently in this circle drifting field.

The audience in the live broadcast room has become more than before, and the popularity is also rising to a new level.

Obviously, for most viewers, watching racing is more interesting than driving large trucks and long-distance buses.

Zhang Yan is gradually unearthing the highest difficulty of this game.

"I really admire the streamer. Not everyone has this kind of patience. Many male streamers are also inferior."

"Drifting is really difficult. Don't talk about drifting on the track, just a simple circle drift. I practiced for an afternoon and couldn't learn it! Driving this thing seems simple, but the threshold is really high. If your brain understands but your hands don't, it's useless."

"It's okay, looking at the streamer's current state, she should be able to drift after getting familiar with the new car again. Driving is still about the unity of man and car. Even if you let a racing driver get started with a new car, they have to adapt first."

"However, compared to other racing games, *Safe and Civilized Driving* is already a low-learning-cost game. Many driving simulation games don't even provide a circle drifting training field. There is no tutorial and no such built-in live broadcast system. It all depends on the players to explore on their own. It will take until the year of the monkey to explore!"

"Looking forward to the day when the streamer opens a drifting tutorial!"

"Seriously, I found so many tutorials on the Internet before, and I also bought a steering wheel to practice drifting in the driving simulation game, but I couldn't learn it no matter how I practiced. After watching the streamer practice, I suddenly had some insights again. I will try it after the live broadcast is over. I feel like I can do it again!"

The audience in Zhang Yan's live broadcast room is now relatively complex and can be roughly divided into several categories.

The first type is simply to watch the female streamer drive and play the game *Safe and Civilized Driving*, which can also be said to be the cloud players;

The second type is to see Zhang Yan constantly practicing and improving, from a small streamer with more and more fans, and enjoy this sense of growth with the streamer;

The third type is really here to learn technology.

But no matter which type of audience, they all recognize that Zhang Yan is indeed a relatively representative player in *Safe and Civilized Driving*, and she is really constantly improving her driving skills with this game.

From the initial online car-hailing, to the later large trucks and long-distance buses, and now the race cars, each type of vehicle requires a lot of practice to gradually adapt and improve driving skills, and Zhang Yan has taken every step very steadily and done well.

Judging from the current situation, it should not be far from conquering the track and becoming a real racing driver.

Many players feel a little strange: Among all racing and driving simulation games, *Safe and Civilized Driving* is definitely not the most enjoyable, nor is it the most difficult, but it is the most conducive to improving driving skills.

This is because *Safe and Civilized Driving* allows players to focus more on experiencing the game content through good gradient settings and moderate punishment mechanisms, which is something that other racing and driving simulation games have failed to do.
