Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1407: Second Place In The Game?!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhang Yan was stunned.

Something was amiss, right?

If it was in other racing games, they would only touch it and chase after it. At most, they would hit the engine cover and run, right?

The game should even provide the option to close the car tire or flash back and run again?

Wasn’t this the newbie teaching stage? Why did it end with a serial collision?

Or perhaps, this was a plot kill?

That’s not right. The car hit me because of my control mistake. If I had driven the car honestly and did not want to overtake the car, this should not have happened, right?

Zhang Yan’s mind was filled with question marks. She could not understand the current situation.

Immediately after, the black screen lit up and a news video was broadcasted.

“At 8:07 PM on 17th, Jingzhou’s traffic police department received a report from the masses that a traffic accident happened during a car chase.”

“We have found that seven cars are suspected of being in pursuit. The cars involved in the case were arranged to drive in the nearby road on that night. Two of the cars collided at the corner, causing the cars to chase after them continuously, causing two to die, four to be severely injured, and one to be lightly injured.”

“At the moment, the injured are still being treated in the hospital. The police have already investigated the suspected crime of driving in a car. The case is still being processed.”

“The chase caused a major traffic accident. Nature is bad and severely affects road transportation and the lives of citizens. A few drivers have already constituted a dangerous driving crime. It might even constitute a traffic crime and endanger public safety with a dangerous method. I believe they will definitely be severely punished by the law!”

Zhang Yan looked at the news broadcast on the screen in disbelief, her face filled with doubts.

What was going on?

She looked at the time. Wasn’t it 8:07 on the 17th?

Doesn’t that mean I caused the car accident?

Obviously, he had read the current time in the game directly. If there was a “real-time report”, the educational significance would be maximized on the spot.

All of this was quite natural and logical.

The car accident caused two deaths and four serious injuries. That was already a very serious accident. They would not be able to take the exam in their lifetime, let alone revoke their driver’s license. It was normal for them to be sentenced to a few years after being treated.

Zhang Yan knew these very well because she had learned them during the driver’s license test.

However, the problem was… this was a game!

Was there a need to make the game so realistic?!

The photos used in the news were obviously real scenes in the game. Several cars had been hit until they were scattered. The entire car had been indented or unrecognizable. It was as miserable as possible.

It was a stark contrast to other racing games where even if they clashed seven or eight times at high speed, the hood would only fly off and the car would continue to drive.

The game continued, and a line of words appeared on the black screen: Two years later.

It was still the first-person perspective on the driver’s seat. However, Zhang Yan realized that the interior design of the entire car had changed. It was no longer the luxurious sports car’s internal design. Instead, it had become a torn and old internal design.

On closer inspection, it looked familiar.

“Eh, isn’t this a coach car, oh no, an examination car?”

He looked up and saw the examination hall for subject two.

In the game, the driver took out a wallet from his pocket and opened it. There was a family of four on it. His parents smiled kindly. The two sisters were very beautiful.

“Two years ago, my sister passed away from racing. The new car that she bought was completely scrapped before it could even repay the loan.”

“The racing competition caused a major safety accident, so the insurance company did not pay for it. We could only bear with our sorrow and continue to repay all the car loans.”

“That’s why I keep reminding myself to take the driver’s license well and learn about safe and civilized driving. I won’t make the same mistake as my sister.”

After keeping his wallet, an interviewer came over to indicate that the exam could start.

A notification started appearing on the screen, guiding players to complete the examination for subject two.

Zhang Yan looked confused.

“This…”

“There’s something wrong with the game, isn’t there?”

She paused the game and searched for other gamers’ comments on it online.

Then, he roughly understood the specific principle of the game’s opening.

At the beginning, it looked like a serious racing car on the surface, but it was actually fishing.

Previously, Zhang Yan had seen the speed camera taking photos. She had thought that the game would be so realistic. It had even produced a useless speed camera and really took photos.

Of course, many other racing games also had speed cameras. However, they were all used to farm data for players. The higher the speed of the car, the better the reward. Thus, Zhang Yan did not pay much attention to it.

Now, he knew that this speed probe really knew how to measure speed and would really be fined!

Different players would have different endings.

Some players had already discovered that players at the initial stages had a default character. This default character had a luxury car that was still on loan and had a certain amount of savings.

If he did not drive with other luxury cars but ran the entire 10 minutes calmly without speeding or default, he could keep his driver’s license, inherit all his savings, and not change his character.

If he was caught by a camera but did not get into an accident and finished the entire journey, he would only receive a speeding fine and deduct points.

If the collision was not serious, he could find an insurance company to compensate. However, he would have to spend more money to increase the insurance premium.

Of course, it could also be that the car behind caught up to him or that he hit the fence and caused the driver to be injured. Specifically, if it was the responsibility of the back car, he would pay for the medical expenses. If it was his own responsibility, he would pay for the medical expenses.

However, most players did not have any of the above outcomes.

That was because they were all like Zhang Yan, they started racing once they started!

How could he not drive if he did not have the skills?

Once they hit the car, the game process would end immediately. At this speed, it would be a dangerous drive. They would either die or be severely injured. Then, the car would be scrapped. The insurance company would not compensate them.

If the protagonist was still alive and his driver’s license was not revoked, he would be able to skip the first stage of the test.

After all, if he could still insist on following the traffic rules and driving to the end point under such circumstances, there would basically be no need for another driver’s license test.

However, if the protagonist was severely injured or died, or his driver’s license was permanently revoked, the protagonist would be his brother or sister.

The specific gender would depend on the gender verified on the player’s Tengda Games account to strengthen the sense of immersion.

Zhang Yan was speechless. She suddenly had the urge to delete her account and practice again.

Wasn’t that a scam?

You did not tell me to follow the traffic rules in the game at first. In the end, the collision caused such a huge loss?

However, on further thought, she could not blame the game designer. That was because he did not encourage racing. She subconsciously felt that she was racing.

What’s more, Zhang Yan checked. If there were zero accidents at the beginning and they reached the end point, they could indeed avoid some losses. However, there would not be such an irreversible difference between this worst start. They would be able to make up for it after playing for a few hours.

It was quite difficult and boring to start the entire process safely without any reason. It might not be friendly to the audience if they were to run one more time.

The audience obviously wanted to see the driver’s license test more.

“Forget it, forget it. I’ll try out the driver’s license test first.”

“I actually took a driver’s license in a racing game. It’s really…”

Zhang Yan looked at her own steering wheel, the full metal pedals that simulated the real feet, and then at the cool GL seats. She felt that something was amiss with this style.

The cool exterior did not match the game at all!

However, he had no other choice. Since the audience loved to see his driver’s license, so be it!

The first was to go into the warehouse.

There were also subtle differences in the driver’s license examinations in different cities. Even the examinations in different examination halls in the same city were different. For example, the car loading project might be the first or the second.

The game was based on Jingzhou’s driver’s license test. However, most of the projects were similar.

10 minutes later…

“Reverse the car to enter the warehouse and qualify. 100 marks will be deducted. If you fail the exam, please continue to work hard.”

Zhang Yan looked at the computer screen silently, her expression becoming blank.

Both of her chances were wasted!

She had not expected this situation.

That was because she passed the test on her first try.

He did not expect to fail in the game!

Of course, the reason was not the game but herself.

That was because the driver’s coach had told her to look at various lines and memorize the inverted bank when she applied for the driver’s license previously. She had also looked at the inverted image when she drove.

In the end, the examination car in the game did not have a reverse image at all. There were no lines taught by the coach at all. It could not be done at all!

In the game, the in reverse car entering the warehouse was basically based on strength. Looking at the left and right side mirror to determine the trajectory of the car wheels, then comparing it with the warehouse’s side line, adjusting the angle of the steering wheel, and then pouring it in continuously.

What’s more, Zhang Yan realized that the more difficult things were not only the backlog, but also the subsequent projects!

Take the S curve for example. It would be very easy if he had to memorize the mnemonic taught by the coach, find a line, and know how many directions to play in advance. However, if he did not have these mnemonics and relied on feeling to turn the corner, the difficulty would be very high!

What’s more, Zhang Yan had used the steering wheel and pedals.

The steering wheel’s turn was much more precise than the mouse and controller. The pedals could also control the car’s speed to the best speed that they needed.

If this was a controller and keyboard, how could he pass the subjective examinations?

Wasn’t this fooling around?

It was no wonder that there were bullet screen comments previously saying that this game was very unfriendly to the mouse and controller. The operation needed to test the driver’s license was not something that the mouse and controller could easily do!

The bullet screen comments in the live-stream were filled with joy seeing the streamer fail the subject at the speed of two lights.

“Good lord, is a driving game more difficult than driving in reality?”

“It’s so ridiculous to change the protagonist directly after he died at the opening ceremony!”

“All of a sudden, I feel like this game is quite fun. I want to try it out and challenge myself!”

“The steering wheel is indeed much better than the controller. You all think that the streamer is very lousy at laning the line, but I can’t even drive to the warehouse with the controller! Let’s not talk about it. I’ll also set up a steering package to play with!”

Zhang Yan was stunned when she saw the bullet screen comments.

What was going on?

Shouldn’t he have been dissuaded? Why did everyone seem to be interested in this game?
