Chapter 210 - 151: Test Cars in the Game

"Back then it was you who wanted to separate, so we separated. Now you want to use true love to coax me back..."

Jiangning, Tianba Studio.

No idea what got into Ba suddenly. Out of nowhere, he started playing an old song, "Love Trade," on the speakers in the studio.

Gotta say, it’s pretty fitting.

Lu used to think this song was so cheesy, the lyrics were tacky, sounded like "you have her perfume scent on you"—very abstract and awkward.

But now, with a different mood, listening to this song feels totally different.

Great, great, the lyrics are really well-written!

No wonder Ba wanted to listen to music early in the morning, even an old song like this. Turns out this song is so good, it makes people feel at ease and comfortable.

"Betrayed my love, you owe a debt of conscience, no matter how much feeling you pay, you can’t buy it back~!"

Chen Ba hummed along softly with the tune, then turned off the speakers and said, "Wow! This song is really great. I want to share it with others so we can all enjoy it. What do you guys think?"

"I agree!"

Lu nodded repeatedly and said, "Such a good song needs to be shared with others, especially those past collaborators."

Zhong Shengwei: "..."

He didn’t understand, but he was deeply shocked.

Whether the song was good or not he couldn’t tell, but he could sense it was so fitting; didn’t see Ba’s crooked smile?

"Ahem!"

Yang Dong coughed, signaling everyone not to talk about the song now but to discuss how to respond to these automobile manufacturers.

"What’s there to discuss?"

Chen Ba pursed his lips and said, "You’ve all heard ’Love Trade,’ haven’t you? The lyrics are clearly written!"

Back then, it was them who wanted to leave.

No matter how hard Chen Ba tried to keep them, those automobile manufacturers remained indifferent, insisting on severing ties with "Speeding Frenzy."

Now, consumers aren’t buying it, they remember Ba’s goodness and want back into his embrace. Is there such a good thing in this world?

"Want to come back? Sure!"

Chen Ba said smugly, "But the rules need to be changed. In the past, we begged them to collaborate, but now the times have changed..."

"From now on, for their new cars and models to enter ’Speeding Frenzy,’ they must pay a placement fee, with each model paying separately."

No pay, no entry.

Do you think ’Speeding Frenzy’ is your home? Come and go as you please; what do you take Tianba Studio for?

"Isn’t this going too far..."

Yang Dong hesitated and said, "Although after the Axle Break incident, ’Speeding Frenzy’ got famous in the automotive world and it does affect sales, it’s not irreplaceable."

"You’re wrong!"

"Our ’Speeding Frenzy’ is indeed irreplaceable for these car manufacturers."

Chen Ba laughed and said, "Do you think their realization and desire to join the ’Speeding Frenzy’ family is just to appease consumers?"

"Isn’t that so?"

"Of course not!"

Chen Ba shook his head.

If they really wanted to calm consumers and eliminate negative impacts to boost sales, just lowering prices would do.

In plain words, the hype surrounding ’Speeding Frenzy’ won’t last forever.

If these car manufacturers play dead and endure this special period, soon everyone will forget the Axle Break and ’Speeding Frenzy,’ and there wouldn’t be much impact.

The true reason they’ve changed their faces and want to join the ’Speeding Frenzy’ family, even paying for it, is the game’s physics engine...

"The game’s physics engine?"

"Yes! More precisely, it’s the game’s realistic physics engine coupled with a unique vehicle durability mechanism."

Chen Ba explained, "The combination of these two can save them a significant amount of time and cost in testing new cars, simulating the most realistic test environment and results."

"Moreover, expanding a bit, during the new car development stage, the combination of durability mechanism and physics engine can help them find hidden design flaws and insufficiencies."

This function is phenomenally powerful!

To put it bluntly, ’Speeding Frenzy’ serves these car manufacturers in developing and testing new cars, akin to a research center.

How much money does it take to build a research center?

Furthermore, even with a center, it requires experts to be effective. But ’Speeding Frenzy’ doesn’t need that; just input various data and keep testing and simulating!

"I see..."

Yang Dong suddenly understood and said, "I was wondering why these car manufacturers changed faces so fast with such a gentle attitude—there’s this underlying reason."

He thought these manufacturers were struck hard by consumers, hence wanting to return to ’Speeding Frenzy.’

Never imagined!

These car manufacturers were actually aiming to develop and test new cars within ’Speeding Frenzy.’

"Let me tell you secretly."

"Huazi and Di both plan to set up a dedicated ’Speeding Frenzy’ tech team to use our powerful physics engine and durability system to test their new cars."

Chen Ba couldn’t help but complain, "Di’s alright; at least not that abstract. But Huazi is outrageous, even wanting to test their smart driving proposals in ’Speeding Frenzy.’

"Huh?"

Everyone opened their mouths wide.

What a weird idea! Testing smart driving proposals in a game; has Huazi gone mad?

"Though it’s abstract yet..."

Chen Ba said proudly, "Our physics engine is so powerful that after technical verification, this system could indeed be modified to do exactly that."
