Under the same night sky, Craven Bell is behind the wheel and focused on driving.

After passing through North Las Vegas, he did not follow the large force in the direction of Vegas, but turned southeast and headed towards the city of Whitney.

Although neither CES nor BBx are over, he is already on his way home. The reason for this is that he doesn't plan to drive all the way back to New Jersey on a long and rapid trip, but only plans to drive back to the East Coast slowly while playing, so he naturally has to leave more time.

Girlfriend Aretha Safon, who was sitting in the passenger seat, put down her phone, turned her head and shouted, "Hey, Clay!"

"What's wrong, dear?" asked Kraven, turning his head quickly to look at her.

Aretha was the biggest takeaway from his trip to Nevada, when the other party quarreled with her boyfriend and broke up, standing on the side of the road with a large bag and begging for a piggyback, Kraven happened to be passing by in an RV, and saw that the brunette girl didn't look like a bad guy and stopped to take her.

The next thing is logical, everyone is a young person, you have a car and I have a set, and they don't hate each other, and they soon get together to achieve a pair of dog men and women. During this time, the two of them traveled to the scenic spots along the way during the day and stayed in the roadside park overnight, so that the small days were not too moisturizing.

Kraven originally had the idea of turning back to long-term development, but people were not interested in his life in New Jersey, so he didn't force it anymore, just wanted to leave a romantic encounter. When the journey is over and back to the east, the two of them will break up in a flash, and Sa Nu will be a passerby from then on.

Receiving Kraven's response, Aretha snorted angrily, "There are a lot of people on the Internet who are cursing us!"

"What about the BBX grouping?" Kraven asked casually, then replied himself, "If so, I accept it." ”

The local team was completely wiped out, although there are reasons why the skills are not as good as others, and the responsibility of the audience is also indispensable. With the strength of Mark3, he is fully capable of reaching the semi-finals, and if the group is good, even if he can't win the championship, the runner-up and third place are also hopeful, but because everyone wants to see the big battle, he was forced into the group of death, and then he died in it and didn't even qualify.

Hearing him say this, Aretha snorted angrily, but she didn't refute it, after all, they did vote for the "Group A Three Heroes".

Craven stretched out his right hand and patted the other party's jeans, comforting her: "Okay, this game is originally entertainment, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, just be happy." ”

"Hmm!" Aretha nodded, her little hand on the other's lap, rubbing back and forth, "CES and the game have already been watched, and we have one less day together." ”

"If you want, I can go to New York to see you later!" asked Kraven tentatively.

Aretha didn't answer the conversation, but persuaded the other party, "Actually, you should come to New York to develop, big cities will have more opportunities, stay at home and live with your parents, others will laugh at you." ”

"I live in the studio most of the time, and it's really no different than moving out. ”

It's a pity that such an answer obviously can't satisfy Aretha, seeing his girlfriend's pouting mouth in the rearview mirror, Kraven quickly changed the subject, and finally brought the atmosphere in the cab back to normal.

It's not always normal, Aretha's left hand was always on Kraven's lap, and later it developed to the waist and between the legs, and soon put the latter into a fighting state.

Seeing the gap, he hurriedly drove off the road, and Craven pressed his little hand that was making trouble: "Little goblin, wait first!"

Then he pushed open the door on his side, went around to the other side and pulled the door open, and dragged Aretha to the back car.

This RV is a converted pickup truck, and the RV module rides on a regular pickup truck, as long as the expansion module is pulled out after parking, and then connected to the water supply and AC power, it can be turned into a fully functional small apartment. However, the eldest boy at this time didn't care about this, pushed his girlfriend into the car, and then got in and closed the door rudely from the inside, and it didn't take long for the whole car to start rocking up and down.

A few minutes later, the door of the carriage was opened again, and Kraven's head came out of it, and after looking left and right to make sure that there was no one, he shrank back again, pulled Aretha out of it, and ran quickly to the cab of the pickup truck. The speed of the two of them was so fast that they even left two flesh-colored afterimages in the air.

Limited to size, this small RV does not have its own power supply, it needs an external AC power supply to start the air conditioning, this is a wilderness far from the city, naturally can not turn on the air conditioning, and then the two people who fought in the carriage soon felt the malice of the cold winter night. Kraven didn't want to move and planned to join the group to warm up and rub the heat, but Aretha didn't do it, and the former had to take her back to the cab of the pickup truck.

Turn on the inner overhead light, the warm light quickly illuminates the small space, insert the key to start the car, and the whining sound of the car air conditioner then sounds, blowing out hot air to make the shivering two people regain their combat effectiveness. The overhead lights went out again, but the RV shook, and occasionally there were some strange fighting sounds, which was obviously caused by the fierce fighting inside.

Half an hour later, the cab was lit up again, and Craven hastily cleaned up, picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on his body, and started the car again. The survival ability of this RV in the wild is too low, and it is too cold outside, so it is better to continue on the road and find a well-equipped RV campsite.

After more than half an hour of re-driving, the pickup RV finally arrived at its destination tonight, a motel located outside the city, Craven stopped the car, Aretha jumped out of the car and ran to the reception room to pay the fee and issue the ticket, and then led the car to the parking space that had just been rented.

Motel is a combination of a motor (engine, car) and a hotel, that is, a "motel" that specializes in serving motorists.

Some motels provide independent rooms with garages, and you can drive into the upper floors to stay without going through the front desk hall, which is more private and popular with urban men and women. There are also parking lots, which are usually located outside the city or even in tourist scenic spots, providing water, electricity, kitchen, bathroom, bath and even WiFi services, which can also be called RV camps.

Because it is not in the city center, the accommodation price of RV camps is relatively low, and Claven drives all the way from Garden Island to Nevada, and most of the RV camps that stop along the way are under $30 per night, which is very convenient and affordable.

Turning off the car and pulling on the handbrake, Craven jumped out of the car, emptied the sewage tank, turned on the water and electricity, and then pulled out of the kitchen, and the RV in stationed mode was where they would stay tonight.

In order to make better use of the space, small and medium-sized motorhomes usually have a folding design, which can be extended to the surrounding area when camping to increase the kitchen, dining room and bedroom area, and improve the use experience. This has the added benefit of preventing passengers from trying to cook food while driving.

There have been cases of cooking on a driving RV and causing a car accident, and then suing the RV company and receiving compensation, and the latecomers should naturally take warning.

Bell's RV is small, but it has everything it should have, with a kitchen with a sink, microwave, induction cooker, kettle, and frying pan for everyday cooking. The only problem is that the space is too small to store a lot of fresh water, and there is no self-supplied power supply, so if you need to cook, you have to find a well-equipped RV park first.

Fortunately, the United States is a "country on wheels", with a staggering number of RV parks, and it's not the kind of impostor that has been parked for 20 years and the wheels are decorations, so it doesn't have to worry about finding a place to rest and stop. Most fee-based camps, or motels, have basic logistical facilities, and there are usually large supermarkets around the city that can be restocked at any time, just across the street from this motel.

Leaving Aretha to look after the house, Kraven ******** walked out of the camp and walked briskly towards the Walmart supermarket across the road.

Kraven's movements were quick, and it wasn't long before he returned to camp with bags of bread, lettuce, ham and bacon, as well as milk and fruit, and the distinctive aroma of fried bacon soon appeared in the air.

Bake the bread in the microwave, cut it and mix it with a slice of pan-fried bacon and lettuce, and a glass of hot milk, and it's a popular dinner, at least for both of them. Of course, there may also be reasons for the urgent need for nutrition after exercise.

Xu consumed too many hormones just now, ate and drank enough, the two of them washed the dishes and went to the shower, and then each went to bed with their mobile phones.

The moon was hanging outside the window, but they were holding their mobile phones and had no intention of sleeping.

Aretha was watching a TV series, chuckling from time to time, but Kraven's attention was drawn to the tech news.

CES isn't over yet, new products are being released every day, and there are many star products with a lot of attention. In addition, the booth was also in the news, with well-known film companies Naughty and X-art holding a VR film festival inside, attracting many adult audiences to run to see what was going on.

Another popular spot was the Bee Games booth, which this time didn't bring a new console of the year, but instead brought news of PT2Gallus.

This new console is said to be using 10nm and 14nm process processors, with amazing performance and powerful features, once announced, it really stole the limelight from Sony PS4 and Microsoft XBO, after all, the processors of the latter two are only 28nm process technology, and the gap looks very large.

It's a pity that Bee Games didn't show a prototype, and everyone couldn't get a glimpse of the most advanced game console in history. What they brought this time was a new handle, somatosensory gloves, and a second-generation Mindhoop headband.

MH2's advancements are both inside and out, with improved shell shape and materials for improved wearing comfort, improved internal algorithms, enhanced tactile simulation and emotional perception, and a significantly improved user experience. But only that, there is no essential change in the core function, and there is no revolutionary improvement and progress, which naturally cannot arouse Kraven's interest.

However, the new handle and gloves are amazing, and his shopaholic spirit is on fire, and he can't wait to buy and play now.

They are all branches of the third-generation somatosensory control system, and they are named after cold fire and flowing water, respectively, and each has its own unique art.

Cold Fire is the third generation of Pisces controller that has been exposed before, with a built-in cold and heat engine, which can temporarily simulate the hot and cold touch, allowing players to really feel the heat of the fireball and the cold of the ice arrow, which can significantly increase the sense of substitution in fantasy games.

Flowing water is a somatosensory glove based on the fluid vibration engine, it looks a bit like knitted gloves, but used to weave is not ordinary cotton wool, but a hollow thin tube, with a specially designed weaving method, by adjusting the pressure of the pipe, the thickness of the specified position can be changed.

This pair of gloves can give the player a delicate, gentle, and elastic tactile experience that is different from the vibration motor, which is also where the name "running water" comes from. Obviously, this product is particularly suitable for simulating living organisms, and can effectively improve the force feedback of handshakes, face slaps, etc., which in turn improves the realism of tactile simulations.

Of course, in Kraven's opinion, the most suitable use of this pair of gloves is to assist in the development of love games, so that you can actually touch the cheeks and fingers of the virtual lover, which feels much stronger than a simple pressure feedback system.

In fact, this technology was originally developed for virtual lovers, and after the introduction of Big Sword in the world of dolls, it has now become a signature feature of the DigitalLover brand of high-end dolls.

On the latter, the heat and cold engine and fluid engine are actually integrated, and the doll has enough space in its belly to accommodate the artificial organs, which allows the artificial blood vessels under the skin to be used to transfer both heat and pressure to form a temperature and tactile experience close to that of a real person.

However, when it comes to small items such as handles and gloves, the two technologies have to be dismantled and applied separately, which leads to two different products, "cold fire" and "running water".

The former is just a matter of adding a temperature control system to the handle, the difficulty is the idea and battery life, and the manufacturing difficulty is not high, so it will be introduced to the market soon. The latter is more troublesome, there are still many problems that have not had time to be solved, at least the thickness of the engineering version of the gloves is a big problem, in order to make the pipeline have enough expansion space, the thickness of this pair of gloves is quite touching, wearing it on the hand looks very bloated, and there is still a long way to go from being light and thin.

To make matters worse, it is only a simple haptic feedback device, and does not have the functions that a somatosensory glove should have, such as pressure sensitivity, finger tracking, and spatial positioning.

Still, Kraven is bullish on the technology, as he has actually experienced it at CES and feels completely different from other manufacturers' tactile gloves. It's softer and more comfortable to the touch, which is perfect for VR romance games, and if it can be equipped with finger tracking, it is simply an artifact for some games.

Obviously, although someone has a temporary girlfriend, he is still a single otaku in nature, and his "class attributes" have not changed.
