Ten minutes later, Zhang Heng stood in front of ITS' DEMO, with an extra cone in his hand for no apparent reason.
"Sorry, Zhang Sang, I suddenly wanted to eat ice cream while I was walking, but I left you on the road." The girl in the short skirt bowed and apologized.
"..."
"No, it's my own fault. I focused on my surroundings and didn't keep up with you, AmeKo." Zhang Heng just took the time to look through his things.
It's very simple, only a passport, student ID card, a wallet (with 30,000 yen in change and a transportation card), keys and a mobile phone. Among these things, Zhang Heng mainly looks at the mobile phone, because according to the girl He said that this was his first day here, so the identity of the other party should probably be an enthusiastic classmate, and he was specially brought to enjoy the night view of Tokyo.
Usually, both parties would leave a call first, so Zhang Heng looked through the address book and the most recent missed call, and finally locked on the name Ameko.
Of course, he could actually ask the girl directly and say that he can't spell her name, but that would be somewhat impolite.
But now he saw the girl's expression and knew that he had guessed right.
Ameko is very cute when he smiles, showing two small canine teeth, "Zhang Sang, Shibuya is the fashion center of Tokyo, there are many interesting shops and attractions here, but there are occasional social activities at night, you still go with It's better for me to follow closely."
...
Zhang Heng has no objection. Ameko is very enthusiastic as a tour guide for him, introducing Tokyo along the way. So far, the two of them have communicated in Chinese. Ameko’s Chinese is quite good. According to her, she majored in Chinese at university. I plan to apply to be an exchange student in the next school year and go to China for further study.
However, most of her understanding of China comes from TV and teachers. She wanted to go deeper, so she took aim at this exchange student.
"Ah, actually, my family is in Shinagawa District. I went to high school and university in Tokyo. I haven't traveled far since I was a child. I suddenly said that I was going to such a far place. I was a little worried while looking forward to it." Ameko Rubbing his nose embarrassedly, "At home, the elders were often worried about whether the child would be able to take care of himself in the future, so I also want to take this opportunity to hone myself, that... Is my idea very naive?"
"No, it's amazing."
This time the copy is Tokyo Drift. From the name, it can be seen that the test should mainly be on the player's driving skills, and the mission objectives have once again confirmed this point.
From the perspective of the task deadline, although the time flow rate has decreased, it has been extended from two hours in the previous copy to four hours, which translates to 60 days.
At first glance, it sounds like a lot, but unless you are a racing driver or a hardcore modified car player, if you want to improve your racing level enough to win an underground event in just 60 days, even the most Simple underground events are also almost impossible.
What's more, the difficulties that players have to face in this dungeon are far more than simply improving driving skills.
Zhang Heng only has 30,000 yen in his wallet now. What is the concept of this money? Take the cones that Ameko just bought, for example, they cost 300 yen each. A bowl of ramen costs around 800 to 1,200 yen.
Of course, the school cafeteria might be a little cheaper, or if conditions permit, he can also consider starting the fire himself, and he might be able to survive sixty days, but he didn't really come here as an exchange student.
He needs to get a car during this time, find a place to hold an underground car race, find a way to improve his driving skills, and then sign up for the competition. To do all this, he needs the support of the minimum communication skills .
Therefore, if other players are standing here now, they must not be in the mood to listen to Ameko introduce her mental journey, and can't wait to get into the topic.
But Zhang Heng is different. He has enough patience, not only because of his own good self-cultivation, but also because he knows that all this is not meaningless.
The reason why human beings will continue to improve is because they will continue to reflect and summarize, and this has always been Zhang Heng's strength.
The first round of the game brought him far more than 20 points and a game item. Zhang Heng came to a very important conclusion after repeated analysis.
—No matter who the world leader of this game is, it can be seen that he has been encouraging players to explore the world they are in.
The Lucky Rabbit's Foot incident is the best proof that the real good things don't appear in the main quest, and he doesn't need to go to the center of the island just to survive, but it's precisely this side quest that brought him The biggest reward, in addition to the other things he does to improve the quality of life can often bring point rewards.
Other players may not be unable to understand this, but under the pressure of the return deadline, they have to find ways to complete the task, and they don't care about the scenery around them.
But Zhang Heng has no troubles in this regard, because time is always on his side.
This time he had 420 days to act, seven times that of other players. In addition, he himself is also full of interest in the various worlds shown in the game. The desert island in the first round made him feel completely real. Without any flaws.
But compared to this super-large city with a population of more than 37 million, it is nothing at all.
Everyone here seems to have self-awareness, and will make corresponding impromptu responses to external stimuli. If all of this is expressed by programming, it will be a terrifying amount of calculation, not to mention that there is no code that can do this. To a certain extent, it is not so much a game as it is a flawless work of art.
But it is a pity that players are just passers-by in this world, and they have no time to stop and appreciate, and Zhang Heng may be the only exception.
Ameko stuck out his tongue, "Maybe I'm too good at talking, obviously I was introducing Tokyo to you, but I accidentally talked about my own affairs, you must feel very boring, why don't I go buy some taiyaki I will apologize to you."
"... It always feels like you just made an excuse for wanting to eat."
"Hey." Ameko's foodie nature was exposed, and Ameko showed his signature little canine teeth.
"But let me come this time. You have already treated me to a cone. I should thank you too. If it weren't for you as a tour guide, I might not be able to leave school." Zhang Heng took out his wallet, and he didn't Maybe I have always taken advantage of the girls. I bought four taiyaki on the side of the road. This kind of snack is very common in Japan and the price is not expensive. Although it is called sea bream, it is actually filled with red beans and the like. The total cost of four Paid Zhang Heng for 640 yen.
"Zhang Sang, you are such a good person." Ameko said vaguely while biting the steaming thick fishyaki, "It's not far from Yoyogi Park, but it's too late today, otherwise I can take you there again turn around."
