Chapter 902 The Audience Was Deceived
In the evening
After all, it's an advertisement. If you poop right away, it won't look good for the brand.
Therefore, the car Zhang Tuohai can get can be said to be the best in its class.
After the inspection, Robert had brought over the videotapes of previous years, as well as a laptop that could not access the internet.
Watching the videos of previous years, Zhang Tuohai held his chin and began to think.
All previous death races were held on an isolated island on the edge of the city. Since it had no water resources and little development value, it had always been used as a burial place for homeless people.
Commonly known as a mass grave.
However, it was rented by the prison warden and converted into a death racing competition venue.
There are many mechanisms and devices on the road surface along the coast of the track. If you don't pay attention to avoid them, the car will be destroyed and people will die.
In addition to the traps on the track, players competing together must also be wary of each other.
There is a death target for each competition. If the death toll does not reach the target, the official will start the voting mode, and the contestant with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated by the official.
As an aside, voting also costs money.
"Why does it feel a bit like cheering for a chart?"
Zhang Tuohai scratched his head, feeling oddly familiar.
Sure enough, the means of making money have not changed in essence.
Although this rule has brought a lot of wealth to capital, it has also created a problem. In addition to modifying cars and competing, the contestants also have to perform to keep the audience interested in continuing to watch and avoid being voted out.
Some contestants who are not good at performing will try their best to eliminate other contestants in the competition in order to avoid being voted out due to low votes, so as to avoid entering the voting stage.
This has led to the death racing competition becoming increasingly cruel. The later the race, the higher the death rate. As of the latest issue, the death rate has reached 70%.
The mortality rate among newcomers is as high as 90%.
Because some veteran players have begun to form alliances, either openly or covertly, to work together to defeat the newcomers and maintain their own status.
This is also the reason why the warden goes to great lengths to find people with racing talent.
"This situation seems to be a little more complicated than the survival competition," Zhang Tuohai thought. After all, at that time he only had to consider how to survive, but now he has to please the audience.
Pinching the ground.
This Zhiye is really going to make things difficult for him.
By the time they finished watching the last episode of the game, it was already late, so Robert brought dinner. In addition to the Tomahawk steak that Zhang Tuohai ordered, there was also red wine, salad, small cakes and ice cream. However, there was a big logo next to each dish, and even the person pushing the food cart was a bikini-clad model with large and small brand logos painted on her body.
"It really is all about money."
Zhang Tuohai didn't know what to say when looking at this situation, but the extreme commercialization was also good for him. At least, he didn't have to worry about food problems.
After dinner, Zhang Tuohai expressed his desire to stay here overnight. He had a good reason: he needed to familiarize himself with the new car. The real reason was also simple: it was much more comfortable here than a small cell.
Robert had never encountered this request before, but he still asked the warden and his request was quickly approved.
After all, the level of surveillance here is only higher than that in a prison cell, with 24-hour surveillance without blind spots, and free monitors - the audience helps to supervise, so there is no need to worry about the prisoners escaping.
Zhang Tuohai's request was granted.
He could stay in the decoration workshop with peace of mind.
However, a new problem was presented to him. The woman in the bikini was actually left behind.
Before leaving, Robert made a gesture to Zhang Tuohai saying "I'm counting on you".
"Can this thing be forced in?" Zhang Tuohai didn't understand.
"Why do you have to stay here? Do you want to make your debut with me? Wouldn't it be better to choose someone else?"
Zhang Tuohai hid under the car, reinforcing the bottom of the car as he spoke.
"I have other reasons . As long as you let me stay here, I can stay beside you without disturbing you. Of course, if you need anything, I can also help you." The bikini girl said, leaning down. Zhang Tuohai felt that he had come to Africa and saw the towering Mount Kilimanjaro and the deep Great Rift Valley of East Africa.
To be honest, the bikini woman is of mixed race, with softer facial features, which fits Zhang Tuohai's aesthetic. However, this is Zhiye's world, and who knows what Zhiye is up to, so Zhang Tuohai doesn't dare to act rashly.
"You can ."
Zhang Tuohai was too lazy to care about her and continued to lie under the car to reinforce it.
Arcs flashed, and in the factory, besides the sound of welding machines, you could even hear a pin drop.
Zhang Tuohai was concentrating on his work, and the woman in bikini was lying on her side beside him, watching Zhang Tuohai work.
Both of them were concentrating on their work, but the audience in front of the TV were waiting anxiously, and they all cursed at the two people for not coming up with something of the R20 level.
Those who couldn't wait had already changed the channel, while some more stubborn viewers drank alone while staring at the TV, intending to argue with Zhang Tuohai to the end and see what he would do.
Zhang Tuohai worked until nine o'clock in the evening to complete the modification. Thanks to Robert, he got a lot of titanium alloy steel plates. Zhang Tuohai reinforced it thoroughly. According to Zhang Tuohai's estimation, there should be no problem in resisting anti-personnel mines.
Seeing Zhang Tuohai washing his hands, the audience in front of the TV became excited.
It’s coming, it’s coming, the big one is coming.
Many people called their friends and many bars tuned their TV stations to the channel where Zhang Tuohai was - newcomers always get more attention.
For example, some movies that contain keywords such as "first time" and "first experience" always have higher sales.
However, what happened next disappointed them greatly. Although Zhang Tuohai and the woman both got into the car, one of them slept in the front seat and the other in the back seat, and they didn't even put down the chairs.
Are you kidding me?
It's only nine o'clock in the evening, is this all you have?
The audience felt cheated and became angry, with some even smashing the cups in their hands.
Many people secretly swore in their hearts that once the voting started, they would vote to death Zhang Tuohai.
