Chapter 44 Fantasy Amusement Park (26)
"Wow." Zhao Shuo's eyes widened. "Even though we know it's a killing game, this racetrack is still so cool."
"It seems that there is no such racing track in the amusement park in the human world." Su Yue whispered to Cang Zhi.
Cang Zhi thought about it and nodded.
A racing girl came over. She was the only female staff member among so many amusement facilities.
She has long curly hair and beautiful facial features. She is holding a black and white checkered racing flag in her hand. Although there is no wind, the flag is fluttering in the wind.
She wore a short, long-sleeved racing suit on the upper body, revealing half of her slender and graceful waist, and slim-fitting trousers on the lower body, making her legs look incredibly long.
If this wasn't the scene of a murder game, everyone would probably appreciate her beauty seriously.
The racing girl smiled at the players. Her bright red lips and the beauty mark on them made her look charming and alluring. "Dear testers, welcome to the racetrack. Please choose your racing suit according to your size. Now I will explain the rules of the racetrack to you."
Racing suits and helmets are placed on the shelves next to the racing girls. Those racing suits have thickened protection on key parts of the body and joints, not to mention the helmets.
These equipments prove that this is definitely not an ordinary racing car. No matter whether you ride a roller coaster or a mountain bike in an amusement park, it is impossible to have such thick protective measures.
Rather than being like a real car, it is more like a virtual track in a racing video game.
"The Chasing and Fighting Racing Track is a 3D somatosensory gaming venue. Testers need to drive the racing car and pass through all three racing areas to reach the finish line." The racing girl's pleasant voice rang out in the venue.
As she explained, a panoramic view of the building appeared on the large LED screen above the traffic lights in the racing parking area.
"Part One, Mountain Obstacle Course."
The first third of the building panorama flickered and lit up, but unlike a racing game, it did not mark the outline of the track. Players would probably have to wait until they got on the road to know what the road conditions ahead were like, which added to the difficulty of the game.
"In the mountain obstacle course, we've set up complex obstacles for you. Climbing, descending, and making sharp turns, among other terrains, will fully test your control and reaction abilities."
"Part Two, the Chamber Chase."
The middle part of the building's panorama lights up. The first part is roughly in the shape of a mountain, and the second part looks like a closed environment in the shape of a round sky and a square earth.
Su Yue didn't look at the big screen, but instead looked at the actual track. From this angle, the location of the secret room could not be seen, and all the views were blocked by the mountain track.
"In the chamber chase, players need to complete a thrilling chase in an environment with limited visibility of the track. Please be careful not to fall behind the team, otherwise there may be unexpected surprises!"
"Part three, the straight-line acceleration race."
The last part of the building panorama lights up, and it looks like it is just a pure straight runway.
"The most exciting part of racing is speed. In the straightaway acceleration zone, you'll compete with your opponents in a pure speed contest. It's important to note that there are absolute speed requirements in the straightaway acceleration zone. If you can't reach that high speed, you won't be able to complete the race in this zone."
After introducing the three tracks, the racing girl had no intention of stopping. She smiled sweetly, and five rotating icons appeared on the screen as she smiled.
These five icons are very similar to game icons. They are a fluorescent green bottle with a capital "N" printed on it, and then from left to right, they are a banana peel, a red cross sign, a stone, and a mine ball covered with thorns.
As expected, the commentary of the racing girl also includes a part about "love".
"Chasing and being chased are eternal parts of heart-throbs, but whether chasing or being chased, it won't be smooth sailing. Men and women, chasing and playing, will inevitably use some scheming. The same is true on the racetrack. What's the point of chasing without means?"
She blinked and made a charming wink expression.
"Nitrogen acceleration bottle, after use, can accelerate the car for a short period of time and gain invincibility for one second."
"A banana peel, thrown at an opponent's car, will cause it to turn, return to zero speed, and become uncontrollable for 1.5 seconds. A little tip: using a banana peel on a competitor in a sharp turn might cause them to lose control and fall off a cliff."
"Medical kits can restore your health after use. Note that if your health has reached zero, the medical kit cannot be used. You should all understand that the dead cannot be revived."
"Throwing rocks at your opponent's car will reduce its HP. When HP is reduced, the car's performance will be affected."
"Mineballs, placed on the track, will directly detonate any vehicle that runs over them. Please note that mineballs will most likely destroy the car, so be careful to avoid them."
"All props can be obtained on the track, and all offensive props can be avoided by driving. Therefore, when driving the car, testers must pay attention to the road conditions while also being careful of the props around them~"
After hearing her introduction to this point, Su Yue felt that it was not so bad.
Although there are a lot of props, it doesn't seem to be a big problem if everyone doesn't use props that harm others.
Just drive normally and be careful of possible dangers on the track.
But then the racing girl said:
"To make the game more exciting for the testers, this race will adopt a group competition system. The 'test group' composed of testers will compete against the 'work group' composed of our staff. In the end, the group whose car reaches the finish line first wins."
"If the tester group reaches the finish line first, the tester group wins. If the staff group reaches the finish line first, the staff group wins."
As she spoke, a line of staff walked out in an orderly manner from the entrance of the track below. They were all wearing racing suits and helmets and stood there like robots.
Su Yue counted and found that there were 12 staff members in total, twice the number of their testers.
The racing girl smiled again. In the darkness, only the pearlescent eyeshadow and bright red lips shone on her beautiful face, giving it a cold metallic texture.
If her words just now were just terrifying to contemplate, this paragraph now is a complete death threat:
"Losers in relationships have no value in continuing to exist in this entanglement. Therefore, all members of the loser group will be eliminated."
.
In other words, in this racing game, not only do you have to survive through all the tracks, but you also have to compete with NPCs. If the tester is not the first to cross the finish line, the entire team will die.
The pressure suddenly mounted, and no one spoke for a long time. The racing girl seemed to enjoy the silence brought about by the fear and tension, and she waited for a while before continuing her introduction.
"The vehicle controls in the Chase and Fight Racing are different from the usual ones, with joysticks and buttons."
As she spoke, an operating panel that was almost identical to a real-life game controller appeared on the screen. The racing girl then introduced the operating method. It was nothing more than using a joystick to control the direction, pressing A to pick up props, pressing B to throw props, and so on. It was no different from a racing game.
"There are 18 cars below, each with a different attribute panel. 24 skill points will be randomly allocated to the car's 'acceleration ability', 'control ability', and 'defense ability' attributes."
"Acceleration capability determines the starting speed and top speed of a car in straight-line acceleration. The stronger the capability, the greater the advantage in straight-line acceleration."
"Control ability determines how easy it is to control a car in a series of turns. It also affects the difficulty of making small turns to avoid props. If a car is hit by a banana peel prop, a car with good control ability will also recover slightly faster."
"Defense determines the degree of performance loss when a car is hit by rocks, land/mine balls, etc. A car with strong defense will be safer when attacked."
"Because it's a team effort, the testers may need some time to arrange the division of labor and select the car. For the next 15 minutes, you can freely choose your racing equipment, select your own car, and plan your tactics. During the race, you can communicate through the in-car voice equipment. Because there are a large number of staff members, they will only choose their own car after everyone has selected their car."
The racing girl smiled sweetly, her chestnut curly hair fluttering, like a beautiful god that all the racers were chasing.
"If you don't want to be the loser who gets wiped out, racers, please give it your all and chase your own sweet victory!"
——
The countdown began on the LED screen, 14:59.
The moment the countdown appeared, the testers all walked towards the equipment selection rack. They were all players who had experienced life and death situations and knew that at this time, not a single second could be wasted.
There are a total of 6 testers, but only four of them are confirmed to be able to cooperate: Su Yue, Cang Zhi, Zhao Shuo and Su Chen.
The seeker's strength is there. He has intentions towards Su Chen, but they are not the kind of intentions that have even a little respect. He is also hostile to Su Yue, so we cannot expect him to participate in the cooperation.
His follower looked confused and his mind wasn't clear. He might have been drugged by him as soon as he entered the game. He couldn't be relied upon at all.
"Let's discuss tactics," Su Yue said. He glanced at the Seeker and his followers. "It would be best if you two were willing to cooperate. As you can see, first the players will fight the NPCs, and then we can consider the civil war. How do you think?"
The seeker looked at Su Yue with his light green eyes. He did not hide the hostility in his expression, but as a 10,000-point player, he also understood that survival is the top priority in a survival game, so he did not refute Su Yue.
"This looks a lot like a human..." Su Yue silently swallowed the word "human" that was about to come out of his mouth, "It's a racing game that everyone can play. In terms of division of labor..."
Su Yue was not very good at racing games. In fact, he had never played much electronic games. When he was hesitating about how to divide the work, Zhao Shuo raised his hand.
"Boss, to be honest, I'm the regional champion of Q*Speed, the two-year champion of both the team and individual events of Pa*Kart, and a full-star finisher on all tracks in Ma*O Kart. In short, I'm the ultimate racing game expert at every level."
A rare hint of pride appeared on Zhao Shuo's face. "If you trust me, how about giving me a chance to arrange the tactics?"
