Restart the Gaming Era

There are already many players waiting outside the experience store.

The official opening time of the experience store is set at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, which happens to be the time when there are the most people in the entire mall. Many players who had just finished eating in the mall also came to the top floor to experience it.

Several cities such as Ming'an City already have experience stores of Yunuo Technology, where players can freely experience various latest gaming equipment. Players in Guanghua City have also been coveting it for a long time. This time I heard that Guanghua City will also open it. It is a Yunuo Technology experience store, and it is also the largest Yunuo Technology experience store so far. Of course, you have to take a look.

"Why haven't you opened the door yet? I can't wait!"

"It's not even 2 o'clock yet. It's said to be open at 2 o'clock."

"There has been such a long queue. I don't know if the equipment inside is enough for so many people to play."

"Other experience stores were also full when they first opened, so I dragged you here early in the morning. If you arrived late, you wouldn't be able to grab a spot. However, after it opened for a while, the flow of people basically remained stable. ”

"Do you think there will be a trial of "Extreme Speed" this time? According to the development progress of Shimmer Studio, this game should be almost completed, right?"

"It's possible. After we open the door, let's look for new equipment first. If there is, we must occupy it first!"

The players at the entrance of the experience store were chatting while waiting a little anxiously.

Every time the experience store opened in the past, there was basically some new experience content. For example, when the first experience store in Ming'an City opened, a large number of GS1 simulators were released. Later experience stores opened, and they also released full-view simulators. monitors and a host of new devices and games including Starfire 2.

This is also the usual routine of experience stores. When opening a new store, you must create a little gimmick, otherwise the scene will not be lively enough. Although it is a very clichéd technique, players still stick to it!

At 2 o'clock, the experience store opens on time!

Everyone was already standing in the lobby at the entrance. After the experience store opened, everyone couldn't help but look inside.

Very spacious!

The area of ​​the experience store is basically the same as that of many cinemas spanning two floors. The screening rooms in the cinema are separated, but the experience store is not divided into compartments. After all, you can experience games. Wear headphones, and the simulator itself has some sound isolation.

Therefore, at first glance, the entire experience store venue is also very grand!

The host welcomed the arrival of the players. After a few words, he invited Lin Xiaoguang and Zhong Ming to cut the ribbon for the experience store.

Audiences in the front row quickly took out their mobile phones to take photos.

"The bell is ringing, it's not common!"

"It's like meeting a real person!"

"Is that Mr. Lin from Yunuo Technology? He seems to be a successful person. Look at this style, you can do it."

"Quick, prepare to gank these two, we must take a group photo!"

Many spectators in the front row were already eager to try.

The very important purpose of many people coming to the experience store is to gank Zhong Ming and Lin Xiaoguang, because everyone knows that Zhong Ming rarely goes to public places. If you want to catch him, besides going to the workplace of Shiguang Studio, that is The chance of success is greatest when the experience store opens.

"Now all players are asked to enter in an orderly manner and please do not crowd. This time our Yunuo Technology Experience Store in Guanghua City has prepared a wealth of playable equipment for everyone, especially in the racing driving experience area, where everyone can play the latest UV1 driving simulator and "Extreme Speed" are open for the first time, so each person is limited to 30 minutes. After the time is up, the connection will be automatically disconnected. Please understand."

"Players who haven't found a spot don't worry. There will be a dedicated person demonstrating the UV1 driving simulator in our lobby soon. Everyone is welcome to watch!"

After the host gave a few more brief introductions, the experience store was officially opened!

The players in the front row had very clear goals, but when the host interrupted them, they lost their goals in an instant.

Should I gank the bell, or should I grab the position of the UV1 simulator?

As a result, for a moment, both of them were gone. A large number of people quickly gathered around Zhong Ming and Lin Xiaoguang, and many players in the front row had already swarmed up and occupied the UV1 simulators closest to the hall.

Others reacted immediately and trotted quickly towards the other remaining equipment.

There is a large screen in the lobby of the experience store, and a UV1 simulator specially used for demonstration is placed next to the big screen.

The attention of many players who were waiting in line to take photos with Zhong Ming could not help but be attracted by this UV1 simulator.

"Is this a new driving simulator?"

"The one made by Yunuo Technology seems to be different from other simulators."

"...It looks very expensive at first glance. It's a toy I can't afford."

Many players approached it out of curiosity, and some even took a sneak peek.

Everyone’s first impression is that it is different from those common simulators before!

Previous simulators include expensive ones, cheap ones, some with suspension technology, and some with mechanical structures, but I have never seen such a spherical shape.

The UV1 simulator is like a huge globe. It is just a nested structure with two layers, the inner and outer layers. It can be rotated at any angle with the support of suspension technology. Other simulators either have only a hemispherical base or a separate driving position. There are very few designs like this that completely wrap the player inside.

Visible light is a pile of materials, which makes players think that UV1 simulator must be expensive.

There are also many people secretly peeking in from the opening of the UV1 simulator. They can see the large LCD screen and various control devices, seats, steering wheels, etc. The materials are all very good and look very high-quality. There is a very clear distinction between cheap goods that sell very cheaply.

Ten minutes later, the players had basically dispersed to various exhibition areas and occupied most of the equipment in the experience store.

As a brand-new device, the UV1 simulator naturally has the largest number of people queuing up. Fortunately, each person is limited to 30 minutes to experience it. Looking at the number of people queuing up, you can roughly know how long you have until you can play.

Players queuing up had no choice but to look up at the large screens scattered throughout the experience store and see the game screen in the lobby.

At this time, many players gathered in the lobby. Some were sitting in the empty seats in the lobby to rest or buy drinks, while others were waiting for the demonstration in the lobby.

In other experience stores, there is also a large screen in the lobby, connected to a special device. When opening, this large screen is often used for performances. For example, when the first experience store opened, Lao Jin was invited to experience the GS1 simulator and conducted a practical demonstration on the big screen.

After that, the device and the big screen will be open to players to use freely. Anyone who is confident in their operation and is not afraid of embarrassing everyone can queue up to experience it.

This time, when the experience store in Guanghua City opens, similar programs will definitely be prepared.

The host came to the big screen. He looked at the time and said, "Then let's invite a top-notch professional racing driver, Chang Shaohua!"

Hearing this name, a burst of warm applause burst out in the hall!

"Chang Shaohua? You actually invited him here?"

"He is known as China's number one racing driver, he has a good reputation!"

"Just to promote a driving simulator, hire such a big-name racing driver, you have money and will do whatever you want!"

Many players were shocked. They originally thought they would invite a host or a hardcore player who specializes in driving games, but the organizer actually directly invited a professional racing driver!

It’s not certain whether the publicity effect can be better than that of the anchors, but the professionalism and topicality of the racing drivers will definitely outshine all the anchors.

Chang Shaohua came to the host and waved to all the players. He also specially changed into a racing suit this time, looking very professional, and it even made people think that he was not here to play games, but to participate in a racing competition.

The host briefly exchanged greetings with Chang Shaohua, communicated with the fans about the current situation, and then began the formal experience session.

Chang Shaohua got into the UV1 simulator and fastened his seat belt. After the simulator is turned on, it is automatically closed and the ventilation system starts to operate.

At the same time, the camera inside the simulator projected the captured hand movements of Chang Shaohua on a small screen in the lower left corner of the big screen.

On the surface, Chang Shaohua was as calm as an old dog, but in fact he was panicking because it was his first time to use this kind of UV1 simulator!

He had participated in some driving simulator promotion activities in the past, but most of those activities would have arranged for him to familiarize himself with the machine and run a few laps in advance to avoid mistakes during the performance.

After all, Chang Shaohua is a professional racing driver, and his skills are certainly not something to speak of. If he does not play well in the simulator, it is definitely not his problem, it can only be that the simulator is faulty. These simulator manufacturers dare not take this risk and must let Chang Shaohua adapt to their own simulators in advance.

But this time, Yunuo Technology had no such intention at all and just asked him to perform, which made Chang Shaohua feel a little guilty.

I'm not worried about my own skills, I'm mainly worried about this simulator. What if the simulator feels very different from the real car?

But after all, he is a professional racing driver. He has already reached this stage. He can't say to the host, "Wait a minute, let me get familiar with it." You can't afford to embarrass this person.

Chang Shaohua sat in the cockpit of the UV1 simulator, fastened his seat belt and held the steering wheel with both hands.

This feeling... seems unexpectedly familiar?

It seems no different from driving a speeding car to participate in various competitions?

The steering wheel, seats, and various parts are basically made of the best materials. They are similar to the internal parts of a racing car and feel very friendly.

The buttons, instruments, etc. inside are also exactly the same as those in the racing car.

For ordinary players, many functions may not be fully recognized and they need to check the functions of each button and the detailed meaning of the dashboard in the settings interface. But for professional racing drivers like Chang Shaohua, these buttons and dashboards are simply It's so familiar that you don't even need to read the instructions.

Moreover, there are many places that are even better than racing cars!

For example, Chang Shaohua's current field of vision is all-round, with large ultra-clear screens on the front, back, left, and right, including the top of his head. When driving a racing car, most racing cars have excellent visibility, but some rally cars are just like regular speed cars. The pillars of the car body will create blind spots in the field of vision.

But the UV1 simulator does not have any blind spots at all, and the field of view is very broad.

Moreover, there is a huge central control screen in the UV1 simulator, which can display many things according to the driver's needs, such as the situation around the speeding car, the situation below the speeding car, etc. The information displayed is even more than that of an ordinary racing car.

These small icing on the cake functions have greatly improved the overall control experience, making Chang Shaohua feel very comfortable.

Enter the game screen.

The surrounding scenes appeared on the large wrap-around screen, with green grass and beautiful wild flowers blooming on the fields, surrounded by a beautiful pastoral scenery. The vehicle stopped on the track, which stretched into the distance, and a city could be vaguely seen at the end of the track.

Looking around, there are many other cars on the track that should be competitors.

Of course, although there is a track on the ground, most of the time the speeding car is running in the sky.

"Dong dong."

Someone seemed to have knocked on the car window. Chang Shaohua turned around and saw a girl with a two-color ponytail and a formal suit holding a professional-grade tablet computer standing next to him.

"You are the new racing driver, right? I am Chanelle, the person in charge of the carnival. I heard that you left a good impression on the talent scouts, so you got the chance to come to this island and meet the best racing drivers in the world. Opportunity to compete. Hopefully you won’t let me down and get a spot on the roster.”

"Okay, then the next step is a simple test. Together with the other rookie drivers, you have to drive from here to Lijiang City via Feiyan Tower. Get a good ranking as much as possible, and... don't Crash."

Chang Shaohua knows Chanel.

This virtual idol is a very famous virtual idol from Weiguang Interactive Entertainment. It has guest appearances in games such as "Xuanjia Project". The copyright value derived from this character is very high. In "Extreme Speed", she played the role of the person in charge of the entire event. Not to mention, she looked quite handsome in formal clothes.

"Then, the game begins! Rookies, charge!"

After the countdown ended, Chanel waved the small flag at the front and dropped it. All the vehicles started at the same time and rushed towards the first checkpoint!

The first checkpoint is still on the ground, but the second and third checkpoints are in the air. Because it is a speeding car, the track is suspended in the air. There are no particularly strict restrictions on how the drivers run, as long as they pass through each checkpoint accurately.

It would be more embarrassing if you didn't pass the checkpoint, and you would have to start over if you missed it.

After passing the first checkpoint, all the speeding cars took off into the air, emitting light blue tail flames, and their speed increased rapidly!

Chang Shaohua skillfully followed the controls and found to his surprise that not only was the control particularly smooth, but the feeling was also very real!

When the speed car started and took off, he really felt a push on his back. It was a special effect from the seat. Combined with the vibration of the simulator and the rapid retreat of the surrounding scenery, Chang Shaohua really had a feeling of pushing back. The illusion of racing!

Moreover, the operation of the simulator is almost exactly the same as that of a real speed car. The transition from the racing car to the UV1 simulator is very natural without any discomfort.

"This feeling... is great! It can even be used directly for daily training!"

Chang Shaohua couldn't help but sigh.

Racing is a very dangerous sport. Although the safety of speed driving is better than that of racing on the ground, it will be a big deal if something goes wrong.

However, since the UV1 simulator can achieve such a realistic simulation effect, wouldn't it be able to greatly improve safety if many newcomers are allowed to train in the simulator and reach a certain level of proficiency before driving on a real car?

Unknowingly, Chang Shaohua had surpassed the two speeding cars and reached fourth place.

The AI ​​difficulty in the game is not deliberately raised, so for professional racers like Chang Shaohua, there is no pressure to get first place.

Soon, the convoy was getting closer and closer to Lijiang City, and the Feiyan Tower outside the city gradually appeared in Chang Shaohua's field of vision.
