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

Bunny Tail Live-Stream, Zhang Yan’s live-stream.

“Eh? Why are you all asking me to play Bullet Hole 2?”

“I already said that I don’t know how to play FPS games.
What’s more, I’m a live-streamer of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’.
I won’t easily betray you!”

Zhang Yan felt a little helpless as she looked at the bullet screen comments asking her to play Bullet Hole 2.

Bullet Hole 2 had been very popular recently.
It could be said to be covering the entire internet.
Several big broadcasters had viewers spamming the bullet screen comments for them to try it out.

Some small-time streamers felt that Bullet Hole 2 was an opportunity to become popular.
They had already completely shifted the focus of the live-stream.
Those big streamers might not have acted rashly but they were also watching and preparing to take out some less golden time to try it out and broadcast it.

That was because the streamers had very sharp senses.
They could tell that Bullet Hole 2 was actually a game that was very suitable for live-streaming.

On one hand, the rhythm of Bullet Hole 2 was very good, and the intensity was moderate.
The development period and combat period were interconnected.
The streamer could take the time to joke with the audience and create some program effect.
On the other hand, the game mechanism of Bullet Hole 2 was rich and had an extremely high upper limit.
Whether it was the survival mode or the classic mode, whether it was being a lone wolf or a commander, it could show its level very well.

Without a doubt, it would become another explosive game on live-stream platforms after GOG.

However, Zhang Yan did not pay attention to the requirements of the bullet screen comments.
Instead, she continued today’s driving practice after a simple explanation.

Zhang Yan might not be a big broadcaster now but she was very clear-headed.
She knew where her base was.

Many times, the more popular a live-streamer was, the easier it was to worry about gains and losses.
Even though he knew where his basic disc was, he was still worried that he might not be able to keep up with the trend.
Thus, when the new game was released, he would enter it at once.
In the end, he would lose his basic disc.

After some time, the popularity of the new game would go down.
If he wanted to come back and broadcast the previous game, the audience would not buy it.

Zhang Yan did not have such worries.
She had always been a small-time streamer who enjoyed herself.
She did not have much pursuit of popularity and popularity.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to persevere in the boring mock competition mode during the low point of popularity.

“Eh? Shenhua and Stamford will have a joint news conference at two in the afternoon?”

These two brand names stimulated some memories in Zhang Yan.

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

Until now, there was still a lot of controversy about this car on the internet.
These controversies were mainly focused on its safe driving performance.

(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myNovelFull.Com THANKS!)

The performance of the safe driving was too strong.
Players felt that Tengda had taken Stamford’s money and was forcefully advertising.

However, many people also felt that this matter still had to be discussed.
After all, the details were filled with suspicious points.
For example, why was K1 named? Why use a car model that did not exist in reality? Tengda’s positioning of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was’ simulating real driving ‘.
Why did they create such a high-level automatic driving to slap themselves in the face?

Past experience told players that Tengda’s suspicious projects were often foreshadowing and would have a backup plan!

The best choice for rational netizens at this time was not to be busy questioning and let the situation ferment further.
They would wait patiently for there to be a twist.

However, there was no helping it.
There were very few people who could maintain their rationality.
Most people could not tolerate it.

That was why Tengda’s method was so effective.
That was because most people did not fight against Tengda but against the weakness of human nature.

What’s more, even if he did not think about the K1 car model in ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’, the names of Shenhua and Stamford were enough to be eye-catching.

As a large manufacturer of domestic cell phones and smart hardware brands, Shenhua could be said to be the top in software development.
It was a rigorous and stable term.
The quality of Stamford car was also well-known.
It had a good accumulation of technology in the new energy car field.

What else could these two companies release? They would definitely release a new car!

He could not possibly publish a cell phone from the Stamford brand, right? Wouldn’t that be crazy!

Thus, many people could not help but have bold guesses.

Could it be… to publish the K1 in ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’?

However, this idea was a little ridiculous and hard to believe.
Which game would release a new product before reality? What’s more, K1’s automatic driving technology was a little ridiculous.
It did not seem to be at the level that could be reached in reality.

All in all, once this news was released, it immediately attracted the attention of netizens who had nothing to do during the Chinese New Year period!

It was a little strange to set the news conference at 2 PM instead of at night.

That was because the news conference at night would be more popular.

Lin Yu had personally held the news conference this time.
It was just like the new cell phone that Shenhua had released previously.
However, the content had changed from a cell phone to a car.

A large number of viewers had already flooded into the live-stream.
Some were looking forward to what kind of new product Shenhua and Stamford would bring, while others were purely wanting to see if ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ involved fake publicity.
Was this automatic driving technology as impressive as the game made it out to be?!

If not, Sorry, Safe and Civilized Driving would still be criticized!

Lin Yu had held many news conferences.
She had controlled the rhythm perfectly.
The audience in the live-stream followed her explanation and gradually deepened their understanding of the new car.

Then, everyone realized that this was the new car in Safe and Civilized Driving, K1?

The only difference was that Lin Yu spent some time introducing the new brand, ‘Extremist’.
She talked about the deeper concept behind the name and the meaning of the logo.

‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ deliberately did not mention the brand name ‘Extremist’, probably to prevent spoilers and leave the explanation rights to the news conference.

Immediately after that was the performance, safety, and so on of this car.

As Lin Yu continued to explain, the bullet screen comments changed.

The doubts of the netizens began to shift from the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ to Shenhua and Stamford car.

At first, many haters still came to watch the news conference with the mentality of watching the joke of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’.

As long as the K1 released in reality was not as impressive as in the game, it would basically confirm that the K1 in the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was unreal.
It would be a slap in the face!

However, with Lin Yu’s introduction, the audience realized that many parameters matched the in-game parameters!

For example, the car’s acceleration performance, control, safety, and so on.

Especially the automatic driving technology!

At the climax of the news conference, Lin Yu emphasized the two advantages of the Extremist K1: Blade battery and automatic driving technology!

Once these two points were out, the onlookers immediately became excited.
Some were excited because of the new technology, and some were excited because they found the opportunity to brag!

The bullet screen comments were already engaged in an intense battle while Lin Yu was still introducing the basic principles and core parameters of these two new technologies!

“So the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ is real? It looks like I’ve wronged Shang Yang Games.
They created the cars in the game based on the parameters given by the producers!”

“That’s not right.
Shang Yang Games doesn’t even add screening? Shenhua is bragging.
They said that L4 level automatic driving is L4? Don’t they want to verify it?”

“There’s no L4 or L3.5.
Those are just what the netizens are saying.
The game always says it’s L2.”

“In the game, it says ‘L2 under the conditions allowed by law’.
The problem is that the current law only allows L2.
Isn’t that hinting that the real standard far exceeds L2?”

“I don’t blame Shang Yang Games for this.
Shenhua and Stamford must have requested for this.”

“What’s more, everyone has to pay attention to something.
In reality, automatic driving is different from in the game.
The entire car operation in the game is calculated by the system.
It’s very easy to make automatic driving at L5 level for no reason.
It’s even very difficult to lower the automatic driving level.
However, it’s completely different in reality.”

“Yes, the game might have been forced to make it into an automatic driving of this level.
It was an unintentional mistake.”

“In any case, I don’t believe that we can achieve this in reality.
Even if Shang Yang Games can escape fake publicity, it can’t escape the inspection!”

The audience’s attention gradually changed as the parameters of the Extremist K1 car became more and more detailed.

However, those who had previously said that Shang Yang Games was faking publicity were still not completely convinced.
That was because they still could not believe that the automatic driving technology of Extremist K1 could reach the level in the game!

However, right after Lin Yu finished introducing the principle and parameters of the Blade battery and automatic driving technology, the news conference entered the most critical segment.

“Next, we will conduct two public tests at the battery development center of Stamford’s car and the open road outside Shenhua’s automatic driving research institute in Shanghai.”

“These two public tests will use live-streaming methods to show everyone the results of the Blade battery and Shenhua’s automatic driving technology!”

Lin Yu pressed the remote control in her hand after she finished speaking.
The PowerPoint switched to the live-stream.

There were also product managers and hosts arranged for the live-stream of the two trials.

The bullet screen comments exploded.

“F*ck? This thing dares to broadcast live?”

“Many companies that were similar to high-tech live-streams have failed.
Be cautious!”

“Er… shouldn’t we give the audience a heads up now? If the experiment fails, the audience will shout ‘Long live Big Sister Li’ together!”

“I can understand the live test of this battery.
I might have done similar tests many times, but how do I get the automatic driving technology? If it’s broadcasted live, the road situation is changing every moment! What if there’s a mistake and the car collapses?”

“Did they evacuate the traffic in advance?”

Previously, many people had been sleepy because of the parameters’ introduction.
When Lin Yu announced that the two trials were live-streamed, the popularity of the live-stream instantly rose.

Some people were looking forward to the success of the experiment, looking forward to witnessing the downfall of such black technology, while others were eagerly looking forward to the failure of the live-stream.
