Chapter 230: Simulation - Come in and Have a Seat?
"Pfft! They're so poor!"
Jos mocked, "I thought they were going to get out of the car because they had some tricks up their sleeve. Turns out they only have two crossbows and two sets of clothes, they haven't even collected any Cultivation Techniques, skills, or medicine."
"Maybe it's not their fault," Su Jie pondered. "This modern city map is a unique one, so some settings must follow the urban theme."
"Which means, it's impossible for these skyscrapers to contain martial arts manuals, nor would there be any medicine."
"To acquire those, you need to go to specific locations."
Zhang Manman's pupils narrowed. "Hospitals, pharmacies, and martial arts dojos."
If they could think of it, then so could others.
However, in this vast modern city, set around twenty years ago, there are only so many hospitals, pharmacies, and martial arts dojos...
Players, in order to have stronger skills and medicines to treat themselves, will naturally seek out these places.
Therefore, the chances of encountering each other will greatly increase.
On a narrow path, the brave one wins.
Such map design will, in a very short time, eliminate a large portion of players with insufficient strength and bad luck. Clearly, Zhao Xinglong and Cao Jingjing were trying to increase the chances of players meeting each other, thereby creating opportunities for player conflicts.
However, for people like Su Jie and his group, it's not appropriate to reveal themselves too early.
So, they can only head to other places first.
Ming Lun Martial Arts Dojo is no longer an option.
"Speaking of which, didn't Teacher Cao Jingjing mention something at the end? To get special resources on this map, you need to have her and Teacher Zhao Xinglong's approval," Zhang Manman recalled what they were told just before they were teleported, "So, let's go find the two teachers then. But how do we get their approval?"
"No!"
"The current problem is, how do we find them?" Thank you for reading. This was brought to you by M|V|L*EMPYR.
Jos shook his head; he had never played this "modern city" map, so how could he possibly know the whereabouts of Zhao Xinglong and Cao Jingjing?
And even if they found them, what then?
"Approval" must mean battle.
With their small frames, how could they possibly beat Zhao Xinglong and Cao Jingjing?
Although Su Jie had his flying sword, before they might not have known, but now they could be sure that the strength of Cao Jingjing and Zhao Xinglong was definitely not as simple as a life force of 20.
Su Jie pondered for a moment and then got into the BMW with several others.
Although he wanted to drive, Zhang Manman insisted to be in charge, so Su Jie had no choice but to give her the driver's seat.
"Where to?"
Zhang Manman gripped the steering wheel with both hands, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Seeing this, Su Jie, sitting in the passenger seat, silently fastened his seatbelt and said, "You wanted to find Teacher Zhao and Teacher Cao, right? Just follow your idea and search."
"I actually think the chances are highest that they are at Ming Lun Martial Arts Dojo," Zhang Manman turned the key, ignited the engine, pressed the clutch, shifted gears, and the car shot out all at once.
Jos and Chen Tian Yuzi, sitting in the back, felt their bodies shaking fiercely and had no choice but to buckle up as well.
Female drivers, scary indeed!
Looking down from above, a white sedan was weaving through traffic at an incredibly fast speed, even performing a side drift at a turn, putting on a one-car show of speed and passion.
This commotion naturally caught the attention of many players who were searching for useful items in the buildings.
"Which team is that?"
"Pretty arrogant."
"Probably fishing, looking to scavenge."
"Ignore them."
"Follow up."
"..."
Some players didn't care, but some quietly followed along, wanting to see for themselves.
However, even though the car was a BMW, it wasn't a real BMW, and it couldn't withstand Zhang Manman's "abuse." Eventually, during a drift at an intersection, a tire blew out.
"Damn!"
Zhang Manman cursed loudly, "This thing is really terrible, just a few drifts and the tire burst, what a piece of junk!"
Su Jie, Jos, and Chen Tian Yuzi quickly got out of the car.
"Zhang Manman, I greatly acknowledge your driving skills, but you probably wouldn't dare to drive like this outside," Su Jie couldn't help but ask, "Aside from traffic regulations and other external factors, any car would fall apart under this kind of driving."
This wasn't driving.
This was clearly street racing!
This woman must often street race in car racing games' virtual worlds.
"It's just that this type of car is subpar," Zhang Manman pursed her lips, "My personal vehicle is way better than this kind of BMW."
"Your personal vehicle?"
"Wuling Hongguang!" Zhang Manman said proudly.
Su Jie: "..."
Jos suddenly realized, "I know it, that's the divine car—when it doesn't work out, don't blame the rough roads!"
Wide-reader Jos seemed to be on the verge of being convinced, but Su Jie clarified, "Ordinary Wuling Hongguang can't be used for street racing because the car itself has a simple structure, mature technology, is relatively reliable, and cheap."
"But to say it's a fierce car, the horsepower is just so-so, and it almost has no interior fittings."
"The reason you see all its fancy maneuvers on sites like Kuaiyin and other videos is mainly that the car is cheap. Its simple structure allows countless nearly well-off people to provide a solid hardware base for their efforts."
"People who use this car usually do it to earn a living. The more they drive, the better their skills become. Since the car is cheap, it's not a big deal when it gets banged up, hence the flashy maneuvers."
"Other cars, people buy and take care of them, or problems arise, while Wuling Hongguang actually 'cares for' its owner. The so-called 'data may not win races, but sales never lose' is just that."
