Chapter 161: The Rich List in the Game
The wind of "Extreme Hurricane" blew to the other side of the ocean and to Los Santo.
Sam loved the game.
Wow!
He loves the game for two main reasons. The first reason is that the physics engine of this game is so powerful that he has a feeling of being blown away.
As for the second reason, maybe it's the car models in this game, which are so cool!
Sam, who had just entered college, was influenced by his father, an avid car enthusiast, who loved cars and car culture since he was a child.
He's played dozens of racing games, big and small, and frankly, there are a lot of great games in them, but he always feels that he owes something short......
It wasn't until a friend introduced a racing game from China, namely Speed Hurricane, that he understood what was missing.
A model that has never been seen before!
That's pretty cool! All kinds of cars from the other side of the ocean made him play very hard, especially the special models of Sanbunzi and Old Man Le, he simply loved it miserably.
"Cell head hot?"
"No, no, no, it's an old man!"
“Old man happy? Why give this car such a strange name? ”
Sam couldn't understand why such a cool electric car would have such a strange name? Make the elderly happy?
All right!
Maybe this car refers to the meaning of the electric car for the elderly? Sam came up with an explanation in his own head based on what his friend had said.
It doesn't matter, though......
My friend, instead of caring about the name of this car, why don't you get in this super cool car, turn up the music to the loudest, roll down the window, and let me show you around the city.
"Beautiful city!"
Jiangning, this city Sam has never been to, but he dares to guarantee that he knows Jiangning no less than the Chinese people know about Los Santo.
Don't ask, asking is the spiritual hometown of each other that you have never met!
He drove around the city for nearly 400 hours in his beloved car, which is quite a long time.
But now he's having a problem.
Sam's car, the old man's car, has an infinite durability approaching zero, and is about to be scrapped.
You can't fix it......
The car has been repaired countless times, but the aging of the parts is hard to stop, and unless every part is replaced, the durability will still fall.
Even if you don't give up, it's time to say goodbye!
Restoring durability is too expensive, it costs a lot of in-game currency, and it's not a good deal for Sam, so instead of restoring the durability of the old man, it's better to buy a new car.
After happily giving away his car, Sam plans to go to the in-game 4S store and buy a new car to replace the old man's Le, as his second scooter in the game.
But just as he came up with this idea and acted on it, he discovered a terrible thing!
In the game "Rush", there are tens of thousands of car brands and models on sale.
Half of them are real cars, and the other half are virtual cars that don't even have real cars in real life, and only exist in games.
"It's crazy!"
Tens of thousands of car brands, this number is really terrifying. Sam is so big, he hasn't seen so many car brands.
How to choose?
"Sir, Pineapple Motors you can trust! Our new pineapple mini is priced at only 276,000 yuan......"
"Sima Tianba car price cut! The cash dropped by 60,000 yuan, and if you buy it now, you will also get a commercial insurance worth 7,800 yuan. ”
"Huiba S2 is coming! "Extreme Hurricane" is the first god car, praised and certified by millions of car owners, buy now, and you can also enjoy exclusive optional privileges......"
Too much, too much!
Since "Speed Hurricane" was discovered by players to create an alternative way to play cars, a large number of car brands have emerged in an instant.
Trams, oil cars, SUVs, and sedans are all available.
The prosperity of automobiles, which has never appeared in human history, actually appeared in a game, and the advent of the era of national car manufacturing has become Sam's happiest worry now.
He really didn't know what to choose......
There are too many models on sale, and many of them are independently developed by players, and there are no real cars for reference in reality.
If every car is tested for a test drive, it will take him no less than a month, or even longer.
So, Sam decided to enlist the help of the "car reviewer".
That's right!
On the Oil Rabbit video website, thousands of car reviewers of all sizes are active, including car reviewers who specialize in evaluating new cars of "Speed Hurricane".
Sam opened the web version of Oil Bunny.
Start by opening the Live Game tab, then select Crazy for Speed Elite, which is the English name of Speed Elite.
Soon, a large video of the game about Rush was refreshed on the website.
“Hi Guys! Welcome to the Richard Channel, today we are going to talk about the most worthwhile new cars in the price range of 30-400,000 yuan. ”
"The first car is called Lightning Five Whips, and it is said that the design idea came from a traditional Chinese kung fu master, OK! Without further ado, let's get into the actual measurement......"
Richard is one of Sam's Drag & Road live vloggers, and he was the first vlogger to recognize a business opportunity and turn into a full-time game car reviewer.
His videos are fun!
And the reviews are in-depth enough to explain the pros and cons of each car, and the only problem with the video may be that he has received sponsorship from these manufacturers......
Oh no, it's not rigorous enough.
To be precise, the cars that Richard evaluated are all self-developed cars by players in "Speed", so what he receives is not the sponsorship of manufacturers, but the benefit fees given by these players.
This is completely understandable.
Let's say Sam is a Speed Rush player who builds a car in the game and wants more people to drive it and use it to earn in-game currency.
Well, he wouldn't mind spending a thousand dollars or two to sponsor Richard's live video and let him help him spread the word.
But it has nothing to do with Sam.
It doesn't matter if Richard collects the money, the important thing is that he has a better understanding of several cars he has his eye on through Richard's videos.
Of course!
A preliminary understanding is not enough, the game currency in "Extreme Hurricane" is not easy to earn, hundreds of thousands of game coins are all Sam's assets, and he has to learn about the failure rate and after-sales situation of these new cars.
The main thing is maintenance benefits.
In order to promote new cars, the profiteers in the game can be said to have tried their best, and it is trivial to send insurance, options, decoration, and gifts!
The real benefit is that the car buyer can enjoy the specified number of free maintenance services in the player's maintenance and modification workshop.
Everybody rolls up!
In the game "Extreme Hurricane", players have established no less than 7,000 car companies.
There were originally more car companies......
However, the business competition is too cruel, many players can't hold on, and finally go out of business, leaving only these more than 7,000 car companies are still desperately involution.
"This car is good......
Sam finally chose a new car developed by the famous "Speed Hurricane" player, who has set multiple racing records.
Robot 2 generation, he is very satisfied.
This car is one of the best-selling cars in "The Rush", and it is firmly at the top of the sales list.
It is said that Robot himself, with the hot sales of the first and second generation models, has become the top of the "Extreme Hurricane" rich list, the richest man in Jiangning Island, worth as much as 5 billion yuan.
"5 Billion ......"
Sam counted with his fingers, he didn't eat or drink every day to play games to brush up on customs records, brush up on various event rewards, and it is estimated that it will take another two hundred years to catch up with the robot god.
It's horrible!
Although this is just in-game currency and doesn't mean anything, is it possible that these in-game coins are worth a lot of money when they are sold?
"It's a bit expensive!"
Although the model was chosen, the price of the Robot 2 generation was beyond Sam's acceptable range, and it was 100,000 yuan higher than his car purchase budget.
The Robot generation has slashed its price, and it is much cheaper, and he can afford it with his car purchase budget.
But the configuration and design of the first generation are too far from the new model.
Sam still understands the principle of buying new and not buying old, he would rather add some money to the new model than buy an old one and regret it.
"Friend, don't worry!"
After learning of Sam's troubles, Robot Auto Sales was very excited to say that "Extreme Hurricane" is about to usher in a round of updates, which will provide 1-20 years of auto finance loan services.
Wait another two days, and Sam won't have to worry about his budget and can pick up his new car with confidence.
"Water, really?"
Sam was surprised, he didn't expect the game developer to be so empathetic, knowing that many players are facing the problem of insufficient budget when buying a car, and actually intimately provided financial loan services?
"Of course it's true, you wait for two days, wait for the game to push updates, and then come to me."
The sale is not deceiving.
He said to wait for two days, but it was really two days. At noon on Friday, Speed Rush pushed a new round of game updates.
After Sam finished updating the game and logged in to online mode again, he found that he could really get a financial loan.
What else is there to hesitate about?
Direct loan for 3 years, Robot2 generation top match, only need to repay 4,700 yuan per month.
Like Sam, players who are too budget-bound to buy a new car that is too expensive are all happy when they receive this round of push updates.
If it is a real choice between buying a car, a loan and a full payment, they may have to hesitate.
But what are you hesitating about buying a car in the game?
The maximum amount and maximum term of the direct loan, you don't have to worry about not being able to repay the car loan, and when you can't afford to pay it back, cancel the account and start all over again.
What's the matter?
The buddies are all out of number, which is equivalent to reliving a lifetime, can you still chase after the car loan?
……
"Innocent!"
For the thoughts of a group of players, those old fans of Tianba Games, especially those who have played "Simulator Under the Fence", now just want to laugh.
The pin number will be fine?
What an international joke! The "fateful reincarnation loan" created by Brother Ba back then, it was useless to delete the archive!
The mortgage is like this, do you still want to rely on Brother Ba's car loan?
"Hahaha, it's worthy of being a bully!"
"Dead memories suddenly attacked me, this time it won't be another fateful reincarnation loan, right?"
"Or else? If you owe money to others, there is also the possibility that someone will die and the debt will be eliminated, and the money you owe to Brother Ba will have to be repaid in the next life as a cow and a horse! ”
"Don't, Brother Ba, I haven't paid off the mortgage of Tianba Mansion yet, why did I get a car loan again? Please spare me, and replace me with a scourge......"
How can this be a scourge?
Chen Ba, who swiped the comments of these players, couldn't help but complain: "Be reasonable, isn't this a choice you made yourself?" Why do you blame me? ”
"Haha, the main reason is that I didn't expect that playing a game can also carry a car loan and a housing loan at the same time, and become a negative second mortgage!"
Xiao Lu quipped.
Play the game of Tianba, and suffer from the old sin!
There was "Simulator Under the Fence" to buy a house in installments, and then there was "Speed Hurricane" to buy a car in installments.
"Don't be embarrassed, this is different from "Simulator Under the Fence", ......"
Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said: "The biggest difference between "Speed Hurricane" is that this game has created a group of profiteers! ”
There is only one profiteer in "Sending People Under the Fence Simulator", and that is Brother Ba! After all, only "Tianba Real Estate" can develop real estate and sell off-plan properties and harvest players' game currency.
But in the game "Extreme Hurricane", Chen Ba is not the only profiteer......
Car reviewers have it!
After a period of evolution, "Extreme Hurricane" has created a virtual car circle and formed a set of industrial chains.
The player builds the car, then sells the car, the car critic helps tout, and the other players come to buy the car, and the car is broken, and they run to the player to repair the car......
In-game currency is no longer officially recycled, but circulated from player to player.
"It's too abstract!"
Thinking of the top ten richest people ranked by the "Extreme Hurricane" community, Chen Ba's expression was difficult to tense.
This game is really clear for them to play!
It's a good racing game, just play it as a car repair simulator, and it's a little bit bit of a bit with the body, and it's also the credit of the physics engine.
But what's going on now?
The launch of the top ten richest lists and the rise of thousands of car companies have directly turned this game into a virtual version of the "car circle business war".
Want to start a business?
Then you will come to "Speed Hurricane" to build a car and experience the most real entrepreneurial process and the most cruel business environment.
There are car critics, but this business simulation is not real enough?
What is it to denigrate a friend?
Spray directly on the forum, saying that your car is not good, or my car is amazing, everyone must not buy the car he made, that is proper industrial waste.
What's more, they even formed gangs in the game, formed small circles, formed their own camps, and won over a large group of allies.
I know it's a racing game, but if I don't know, I'm afraid I think it's a business tycoon simulation game!
After all, have you ever seen a player of a game hold a press conference for the cars made in the game?
Doubt it!
"Rush" has such players, and there are even dedicated automotive media, car fan groups and sales teams in the game......
