Chapter 32: Tokyo Drift (2)
Ten minutes later, Zhang Heng stood in front of the ITS' DEMO door, and there was an inexplicable extra cone in his hand.
"I'm sorry, Zhang Sang, I suddenly wanted to eat ice cream while walking, but I left you on the road." The girl in the short skirt bowed and apologized.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"No, it's my own problem, I don't follow you with my attention, AmeKo." Zhang Heng just took the time to rummage through the things on his body.
It's very simple, only a passport, a student ID, a wallet (which contains 30,000 yen change, transportation card), keys and mobile phones, among these things Zhang Heng mainly looks at mobile phones, because according to the girl, this is his first day, so the identity of the other party should be an enthusiastic classmate, specially took him to enjoy the night view of Tokyo.
Normally, in this case, both parties will leave the phone first, so Zhang Heng looked through the address book and the latest missed call, and finally locked the name Ameko.
Of course, he could have asked the girl directly, and said that he couldn't spell her name, but that was a bit rude.
And now he knew he had guessed right by looking at the girl's expression.
Ameko was cute when she laughed, showing two small tiger teeth, "Zhang-san, Shibuya is the fashion center of Tokyo, and there are many interesting shops and attractions here, but there are occasional social activities at night, so it's better for you to follow me closely." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zhang Heng has no objection, Ameko is very enthusiastic for him as a tour guide, all the way to introduce Tokyo, so far the two of them have used Chinese, Ameko's Chinese level is quite good, according to her major in Chinese in college, plans to apply as an exchange student in the next academic year, go to China for further study.
However, most of her knowledge of China comes from TV and teachers, and she wants to go deeper, so she is interested in this exchange student.
"Well, actually, my family is in Shinagawa Ward, high school, and university are all in Tokyo, and I haven't been far away since I was a child, and suddenly I said that I was going to go so far, and I was a little worried about it." Ameko rubbed her nose embarrassedly, "In the past, the elders at home often worried about whether this child would be able to take care of himself in the future, so I also want to take this opportunity to hone myself, that ...... Isn't my idea naΓ―ve. β
"No, it's amazing."
This time the dungeon is Tokyo Drift, and as you can see from the name, it should be mainly the player's driving skills that will be tested, and the mission objective also confirms this again.
In terms of the duration of the mission, although the speed of time has been reduced, the corresponding time has been extended from two hours to four hours in the previous instance, which translates to sixty days.
At first glance, it may sound like a lot of money, but unless you're a racer or a hardcore tuner yourself, it's almost impossible to take your car to the next level in just sixty days to win even the simplest underground event.
What's more, the difficulties that players will have to face in this quest are far more than just improving their driving skills.
Zhang Heng only has 30,000 yen in his wallet now, what is the concept of this money, take the cone that Ameko just bought, it costs 300 yen, and the price of a bowl of ramen noodles on the flyer he just passed through the ramen shop is about 800 to 1200 yen.
Of course, the school cafeteria might be a little cheaper, or if he could, he could consider opening his own fire, maybe lasting sixty days, but he didn't really come here as an exchange student.
He needs to get a car during this time, find a place to hold an underground car race, find a way to improve his driving skills, and then sign up for the competition, and to do all this, he needs to be supported by a minimum of communication skills.
So if it's another player standing here right now, I'm not in the mood to listen to Ameko talk about her journey, and I can't wait to get into the topic.
But Zhang Heng is different, he has enough patience, in addition to his own good cultivation, but also because he knows that all this is not meaningless.
The reason why human beings will continue to make progress is because they will constantly reflect and summarize, which has always been Zhang Heng's strength.
The first round of the game brought him far more than 20 points and a game prop, Zhang Heng came to a very important conclusion after many analyses.
- Whoever the game's world is, it can be seen that he always encourages players to explore their own world.
The Lucky Rabbit's Foot incident is the best proof that the real good things don't appear in the main quest, and he doesn't have to go to the center of the island at all in terms of survival, but it is precisely this side quest that brings him the greatest reward, and other things he does to improve the quality of life often bring points rewards.
Other players may not have figured this out, but under the pressure of the return deadline, they had to find ways to complete the mission, and they didn't bother to pay attention to the scenery around them.
But Zhang Heng has no troubles in this regard, because time is always on his side.
This time he has a full 420 days to act, seven times as long as the other players. On top of that, he's also interested in the worlds depicted in the game, and the desert island in the first round of the game feels completely real to him, and he can't find any flaws in the loop if it weren't for the time bug.
And compared to the megacity in front of you, with a population of more than 37 million, it is nothing at all.
Everyone here seems to be self-aware and improvises to external stimuli, and it would be horrible to be programmed to express it, not to mention that no code can do that, and it's more of a flawless work of art than a game.
But it's a pity that players are just passers-by in this world, and they don't have time to stop appreciating, and Zhang Heng may be the only exception.
Ameko stuck out her tongue, "I can't say a little bit, I was supposed to introduce you to Tokyo, but I accidentally talked about myself, you must be bored, or I'll buy some taiyaki to make amends for you." β
ββ¦β¦ It always feels like you're just making an excuse for wanting to eat. β
"Hey, hey." Ameko was punctured into the essence of foodies, and showed his signature little tiger teeth.
"But let me come this time, you've already invited me to eat a cone, and I should thank you, if it weren't for you as a tour guide, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to leave the school." Zhang Heng took out his wallet, he couldn't always take advantage of girls, and bought four taiyaki on the side of the road, this snack is very common in Japan, and the price is not expensive, although it is called sea bream, it is actually just stuffing such as red beans, and the four cost Zhang Heng a total of 640 yen.
"Zhang Sang, you are really a good person." Ameko muttered as he chewed on the steaming thick fish grill, "It's not far from Yoyogi Park, but it's too late today, otherwise I can take you there again." β
