Chapter 60: Look at Me Starting in Fifth Gear
"Let me see... As long as we pass the tenth level, we can unlock the CG animation, right?"
In a university dormitory.
A fat man looked very serious as he carefully read the game instructions in front of him.
Just now.
In order to catch up with the anime, he made up his mind and used his pocket money to buy the game.
But after opening it, I was stumped by the complicated page in front of me. I sat in front of the computer scratching my head, not knowing what to do.
"What's wrong? You look constipated."
At this time, the dormitory door opened, and his roommate came back with lunch from the cafeteria and placed one of the meals in front of him.
"You are constipated. I am just stumped by this game!" The fat man raised his head with an unhappy look on his face.
But unexpectedly.
After hearing what he said, his roommate suddenly looked surprised: "Hey, when did my fat son start playing games? Aren't you a loyal fan of the second dimension?"
As he spoke, he came over and took a look at the screen.
"Need for Speed? Isn't this a new game that was recently released? You actually bought it? I can't even bear to spend that much money!"
"That's great, don't buy it, come over and help dad pass the level, I really don't understand this game."
"Are you sure?" The roommate's eyes lit up.
He had actually wanted to get this game for a long time.
But unfortunately, I was so short of money that I hesitated for a long time but still couldn't make up my mind. It would be great if I could get it for free.
"Sure, as long as you can help me get to the tenth level, I'll give you this game."
"That's what you said. Get out of the way now. I'll show you the power of Yu-Gi-Oh!"
The fat man looked at the guy with contempt, then moved aside and picked up the lunch box on the table.
"What's the dish today?"
"Braised duck neck, your favorite."
"But why does this duck's neck look so black? And it's covered in hair."
"Maybe they added too much soy sauce. Just forget it."
His roommate ignored him and immersed himself in the game.
As an old game player, he was not as clumsy as Fatty. He quickly opened the main interface of the game and entered the character and vehicle selection interface.
"Huh? It's actually a 3D game?"
My roommate murmured in amazement, and immediately selected a character to enter the first chapter of the story mode, which was the beginner's guide.
As the screen switched, a city street scene appeared before his eyes, and his eyes gradually widened.
"Hiss! This scene is so realistic!"
He had only heard of the game "Need for Racing" but didn't pay much attention to it.
He had originally been playing the game just to kill time and get +1 in his game library, but he was so amazed by the opening scene that he couldn't help but sit up straight.
Then, the mission begins.
He quickly steered the car and drove on the street following the instructions. The sound of the turbo engine spread throughout the dormitory, giving him goose bumps.
Even the sound effects are so good!
“This game seems pretty good?”
The fat man who was eating duck neck leaned over and found that the engine sound seemed very similar to that in the CG animation, and the music also appeared in the animation.
Just at this moment, a bend appeared.
The roommate quickly followed the instructions and pressed the turn and brake buttons.
Then the car did a tailspin and slid forward along the inside of the curve. The wheels rubbed , completing a beautiful tailspin drift.
“Brake drift! Even the drift is so realistic!”
My roommate's face turned red with excitement. He couldn't imagine that the gorgeous racing moves were performed by him.
You should know that the most popular racing games on the market now basically have dedicated drift buttons, which can enable drifting directly by pressing them.
But this game is different.
The car's physical engine is directly restored, and drifting is performed by braking. The difficulty and operating feel are completely different.
Even though he was a rookie driver who had only driven a few times, he was excited by this new experience and felt immersed in it.
"Okay, okay, I'll take this game!"
My roommate became more and more fascinated by the game and drove even harder.
However, he did not notice that his loud shouting and the engine noise echoing around had already attracted students from the neighboring dormitories and those passing by.
"What game is this?"
“It looks like it’s going to be fun.”
"Wow! The street view looks just like the real thing!"
"This drift is so cool, how did you do it?"
"I actually saw the brake and accelerator buttons!"
The students were talking about it, and more and more of them gathered behind their roommates, some of them even with their shirts off. It was just like a group of people crowded together to watch a porn movie.
And at this time.
The roommate just finished the first round of tasks and entered the next scene.
With sirens blaring, two arrest cars appeared and launched a manhunt for him.
This scared the roommate, and he immediately stepped on the accelerator to speed up.
But no matter how fast he accelerated, he couldn't shake off the two arrest vehicles.
He could only panic and rush around in the street, staging a thrilling life-and-death escape that amazed the students .
It was also the first time for them to see a racing game with such a strong sense of tension.
"Watch out ahead! There's going to be a car crash!"
A student spoke up to remind him, which made his roommate feel even more nervous.
Just then, a prompt appeared, and upshift and downshift buttons suddenly appeared next to the accelerator and brake buttons.
"Oh my god, there's even a manual gear shift?"
“This game is amazing, it’s just like driving a real car!”
"No wonder I couldn't increase my speed just now. It turns out I didn't change gears."
"Hurry, change to fifth gear, or we'll be caught up!"
"What a fancy operation to change from first gear to fifth gear? I'm afraid it will just stall."
As if in response to that person's words, the flustered roommate didn't care about anything else and directly shifted to fifth gear.
All I heard was the roar of the accelerator.
After a violent shake, the car suddenly stalled and crashed into the guardrail next to it, and was surrounded by the arresting vehicles.
【Mission failed.】
…
Seeing the pop-up prompt, everyone's breathing held and they stared at the game screen in disbelief.
Just now they were just subconsciously giving reminders according to the principles of a real car.
But who would have thought that this thing would actually stall! Without giving them any chance to react.
After a while.
They finally came to their senses and were all amazed.
"This is the first time I've seen such a realistic racing game. It's much better than other racing games on the market!"
“The physics engine is also very good, even with collision and friction feedback!”
"Classmate, what is this game called? I'll download it and play it when I get home."
"I'm going to download one too, and then we'll compete to see who's the fastest."
"Good idea! I will definitely be the fastest man in Building 7!"
"Can anyone be faster than me? I only need three seconds!"
After asking the name of the game, the students gathered in the dormitory left in a hurry.
Even Fatty and his roommate didn't expect it.
Not long after these students left, the game "Need for Speed" became popular throughout the dormitory building through word of mouth.
Each dormitory spontaneously organized a team and prepared to hold a speed race for the fastest man, which immediately made the entire seven dormitory buildings lively.
