Chapter 1471 New Car Launch Event

February 12th, the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhang Yan's livestream on Rabbit Tail Live.

"Huh? Why are you all asking me to play *Bullet Marks 2*?"

"I've said it before, I'm not good at FPS games, and I'm a *Safe and Civilized Driving* streamer, I won't betray my fans so easily!"

Looking at the barrage of comments asking her to play *Bullet Marks 2*, Zhang Yan felt a little helpless.

The popularity of *Bullet Marks 2* has been very high recently, almost sweeping the entire internet. Viewers in several large streamers' channels have been spamming comments, asking them to give it a try.

Some smaller streamers felt that *Bullet Marks 2* was an opportunity to explode in popularity and had already completely shifted the focus of their streams to it. The larger streamers, while not acting rashly, were also observing, preparing to dedicate some of their less valuable time slots to trying it out.

Because the streamers' senses are very keen, and they all saw that *Bullet Marks 2* is actually a very suitable game for livestreaming.

On the one hand, *Bullet Marks 2*'s pace is very good, with a moderate level of intensity. The development phase and combat phase are interspersed with each other, allowing streamers to take time to joke around with the audience and create some entertaining moments. On the other hand, *Bullet Marks 2*'s* game mechanics are rich and have a very high skill ceiling. Whether you're playing as a lone wolf or as a commander, you can show off your skills very well.

There's no doubt that it will become another hit game on the livestreaming platform after *gog*.

But Zhang Yan ignored the requests in the comments and, after a brief explanation, continued her driving practice for the day.

Although Zhang Yan can't be considered a big streamer yet, her mind is very clear, and she knows where her core audience is.

Often, the bigger the streamer, the more prone they are to anxiety. Although they know where their core audience is, they are still worried that they might miss out on the trend. So, when a new game comes out, they rush into it headfirst, only to lose their core audience in the process.

After the new game's popularity wanes, they want to go back to streaming their old games, but the audience isn't interested anymore.

Zhang Yan doesn't have this kind of trouble. She has always been a small streamer who enjoys her own company and doesn't have too much pursuit of popularity or traffic.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to persist in practicing the monotonous track mode during the low point of her popularity.

"Huh? Shenhua and Strafer Motors are having a joint press conference at 2:00 PM?"

"Shenhua? Strafer?"

These two brand names activated some of Zhang Yan's memories.

Could it be related to that new car called K1 in *Safe and Civilized Driving*?

So far, there is still a lot of controversy online about this car, and these controversies are mainly focused on its safe driving performance.

The safe driving performance is so strong that players feel that Tenda took money from Strafer to promote it.

But there are also many people who think that this matter is still open to discussion, after all, the details are full of doubts. For example: Why use K1 as the name? Why use a car model that doesn't exist in reality? Tenda's positioning for *Safe and Civilized Driving* is "simulating real driving", so why create such a high level of autonomous driving to slap themselves in the face?

Past experience tells players that projects with doubts in Tenda's work are often foreshadowing and have hidden tricks!

For rational netizens, the best option at this time is not to rush to question, let the situation ferment further, and patiently wait to see if there will be a reversal.

But there's no way, people who can remain rational are still a minority after all, and most people still find it difficult to resist.

Therefore, Tenda's approach can be tried and tested repeatedly, because most people are not fighting against Tenda, but against the weaknesses of human nature.

Moreover, even without thinking of the K1 model in *Safe and Civilized Driving*, the two brand names Shenhua and Strafer together are enough to grab people's attention.

Shenhua, as a major domestic mobile phone and smart hardware brand, can be said to have top-notch software development capabilities. It is synonymous with rigor and stability. Strafer Motors' quality is also well-known, and it has good technology accumulation in the field of new energy vehicles.

What else could these two be releasing at a joint press conference? It must be a new car!

They can't be releasing a Strafer-branded phone, right? That would be crazy!

Therefore, many people can't help but have a bold guess.

Could it be... that they are going to release the K1 in *Safe and Civilized Driving*?

But this idea is a bit outrageous and hard to believe. How could a game release a new product before reality? And that K1's autonomous driving technology is a bit outrageous, it doesn't seem like the level that can be achieved in reality.

In short, as soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the idle internet users during the Spring Festival!

...

The press conference was scheduled for 2:00 PM, not in the evening. This was a little strange.

Because holding a press conference in the evening would obviously generate more buzz.

This press conference was hosted by Lin Yu herself, just like when Shenhua's new mobile phone was released, except that the content released changed from a mobile phone to a car.

A large number of viewers had already poured into the livestream, some were looking forward to what kind of new product Shenhua and Strafer would bring, and some simply wanted to see if *Safe and Civilized Driving* involved false advertising, and whether this autonomous driving technology was as impressive as it was touted in the game!

If not, then sorry, *Safe and Civilized Driving* will still be criticized!

Lin Yu had hosted many press conferences and had a perfect grasp of the pace. The audience in the livestream also followed her explanation and gradually gained a deeper understanding of this new car.

Then everyone discovered that this isn't the new car K1 from *Safe and Civilized Driving*?

The only difference was that Lin Yu took some time to introduce the new brand "Jifeng", talking about the deep concept contained in the name, and the meaning of the logo.

*Safe and Civilized Driving* deliberately didn't mention the brand name "Jifeng", probably to prevent spoilers and leave the right to explain to the press conference.

Then, it was the car's performance, safety, and so on.

As Lin Yu's explanation continued to deepen, the comments also began to gradually change.

The skepticism of the internet users began to shift from the game *Safe and Civilized Driving* to Shenhua and Strafer Motors.

At the beginning, many haters were still watching the press conference with the mentality of seeing *Safe and Civilized Driving* make a fool of themselves.

As long as the K1 released in reality is not as impressive as in the game, it would basically confirm that the K1 in the game *Safe and Civilized Driving* is not real and is slapping itself in the face!

But as Lin Yu introduced the car, viewers discovered that many of the parameters matched the parameters in the game!

Such as the car's acceleration performance, handling, safety, and so on.

Especially the autonomous driving technology!

During the climax of the press conference, Lin Yu focused on introducing the two major advantages of this Jifeng K1: the Blade Battery and the Autonomous Driving Technology!

As soon as these two points came out, the onlookers immediately became excited. Some were excited about the new technology, and some were excited about catching the boasting in the act!

While Lin Yu was still introducing the basic principles and core parameters of these two new technologies, a fierce battle had already begun in the comments!

"So *Safe and Civilized Driving* is real? It seems I wronged Shang Yang Games, they just made the vehicles in the game according to the parameters provided by the manufacturer!"

"That's not right, doesn't Shang Yang Games do any verification? Shenhua is always bragging, do they just take their word for it that it's L4 autonomous driving? Won't they verify it?"

"There is no L4 or L3.5, those are just internet users joking, the game has always said it's L2."

"The game says it's 'L2 under the conditions allowed by laws and regulations', the problem is that current laws only allow L2, isn't that implying that the actual level is far beyond L2?"

"I don't think it's Shang Yang Games' fault, it must be Shenhua and Strafer Motors who demanded it."

"And everyone should pay attention to one thing, autonomous driving in reality is different from in the game. In the game, the entire city's vehicle operation is calculated by the system. It's easy to create L5 level autonomous driving with no accidents, it's even difficult to lower the level of autonomous driving. But reality is completely different."

"Yes, in the game, they may have been forced to make this level of autonomous driving, it was an unintentional mistake."

"Anyway, I don't believe that this level can be achieved in reality. Even if Shang Yang Games can escape false advertising, they can't escape lax review!"

As the parameters of the Jifeng K1 model were introduced in more and more detail, the viewers' focus gradually changed.

But those who had previously said that Shang Yang Games was engaged in false advertising were still not completely convinced, because they still couldn't believe that the autonomous driving technology of the Jifeng K1 could reach the level in the game!

But then, after Lin Yu introduced the principles and parameters of the Blade Battery and Autonomous Driving Technology, the press conference entered the most critical part.

"Next, we will conduct two public tests at Strafer Motors' battery research center and on the open roads outside Shenhua's Autonomous Driving Research Institute in Modu."

"These two public tests will be broadcast live to show you the results of the Blade Battery and Shenhua's Autonomous Driving Technology!"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, she pressed the remote control in her hand, and the ppt on the big screen switched to the scene.

Product managers and hosts were arranged on site to conduct live broadcasts of the two experiments.

The comments exploded instantly.

"WTF? They dare to broadcast this live?"

"Many companies that did similar high-tech live broadcasts before have crashed, be careful!"

"Uh... shouldn't they give the audience a warning shot at this time? If the experiment fails, the on-site audience will have to shout 'Long Live Sister Li' together!"

"I can understand the live test of the battery, maybe similar tests have been done many times, but how do you do the autonomous driving technology? The road conditions are constantly changing every moment during the live broadcast! What if something goes wrong and the car crashes?"

"Did they evacuate the traffic in advance?"

If many people were drowsy due to the introduction of the parameters before, then when Lin Yu announced that these two experiments would be broadcast live, the popularity of the entire livestream instantly rose.

Some people were looking forward to the success of the experiment, looking forward to witnessing the landing of this black technology, while others were eagerly looking forward to the live broadcast crashing.
