Mina's Impressive Driving
“Huu, this game is really a poop game.”
I complained, but the viewers didn't agree with my opinion.
Actually, you guys, this game is a poop game, right?
“There is no minimum speed limit on the road, right?”
“There isn't, but it's a huge nuisance to other cars.”
“This is a game, but the NPCs are really annoying.”
These people are teasing me again.
But this time, even I thought I was driving a bit slowly.
Still, I thought I drove without hitting anything once, but apparently not from the viewers' perspective.
“I should just hop in the passenger seat.”
“How can you be this cute.”
“Huh?”
“Aww, you're so cute. Can I hug you?”
“Yes.”
Shinye noona accepted and hugged me tightly.
And stroked my hair.
While being hugged by Shinye noona, I could relieve my anger.
“How are you guys feeling? Are you jealous?”
“Then it's Mina's turn to play the game next.”
“Can I play too?”
“Of course. Mina is my precious younger sister, after all.”
“Thank you, noona.”
“No thanks.”
Shinye smiled and said.
It doesn't make sense logically that Shinye is close to me but not to Mina.
I believe the two of them would become very close.
“Orcs have really great bodies too. Do you exercise?”
“Then shall we start?”
“Is Mina going to play on beginner difficulty? Or should we raise it?”
“There are beginner, intermediate, and advanced, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then I'll go with advanced.”
“Is that okay? It might be quite difficult.”
“Yes. Since it's a game, it should be difficult to be fun.”
“Mina, fighting!”
“Yes. Jiyoung.”
I sat in Mina's seat and decided to watch Mina play the game.
When starting in high difficulty mode, the basic tutorial selection was possible.
Mina chose the tutorial and learned the basic controls.
Skipping is possible, but since Mina has never driven before, she went through the tutorial carefully.
First, the use of the turn signal on the left side of the steering wheel: pulling up lights the left arrow, pulling down the right arrow, which is the basic technique learned when learning to drive.
And in high difficulty mode, it becomes manual, so you also need to learn clutch and gear usage.
Frankly, I don't think you need to drive manual in this era.
“What's good about driving manual?”
“Better fuel efficiency and reaching top speed faster than automatic?”
“Is that really necessary?”
“Well, in reality, you have to put up with the inconvenience. But this is a game where you're making money. You need gas money too.”
The purpose of the taxi game is to make profit, so manual driving is probably advantageous.
Mina learned all the basic controls and immediately pressed start.
“Mina, the green one up ahead.”
“Yes. I'll go right away.”
The green arrow above the customer's head was lit where I pointed, and Mina became my first customer.
Unlike low difficulty, in high difficulty, when the customer tells the destination, you have to set the navigation.
The same point is the distance. The customer I picked up was also green, and customers within 1km are marked green.
Customers within 1-3km are blue, 3-5km red, and 5km or more purple, it says.
“Mina is really driving well.”
“Thank you. It's pretty fun.”
Mina drove smoothly without turning off the ignition, unlike me, and drove out gently.
She kept the speed limit properly and stopped at the stop line, and when she arrived at the customer's destination, the customer got off happily.
When I did it, I called the police, those bad guys.
Mina got the green customer and received a 10% satisfaction bonus and 10% high difficulty bonus, totaling 20% bonus.
When I did it, it was minus ending, but Mina got plus ending.
“You didn't call the police.”
“Should I call once?”
“No. I was joking.”
“There's a red customer over there.”
“Really. The red one was within 5km?”
“Yes.”
“I thought of a good way.”
“Huh?”
Mina picked up the customer with the red arrow mark.
Based on green customer, within 1km, so satisfaction gauge gave 1-2 minutes, but red customer gave 10 minutes.
When the satisfaction gauge has some left, if the 10% bonus satisfaction gauge is depleted, it changes to anger gauge.
Mina set the navigation and checked the destination, then started driving quickly.
“Noona, up to what speed does no fine apply?”
“You already thought that far? Up to 10% over the speed limit is fine.”
“You said it was realistic, so I thought a little speeding would be okay.”
“As expected, Mina is really smart. Theoretically, driving at the max speed is beneficial.”
“Thank you, noona.”
Mina found the max speed where no fine is needed, and started driving with speed just below 10% of max speed.
Her driving skills were extremely good, unlike me.
I smiled while moving the mouse cursor back and forth on the chat ban button because the viewers were teasing me.
Should I press it or not? Hehe, scary?
Mina continued driving without any blockage, and when the vehicle signal light turned orange, she turned right and made a right turn.
And while continuing without stopping, she checked another vehicle signal light was red and turned right.
Why not go straight and go far around?
Just stop for a moment and go straight would arrive much faster.
I understood Mina's actions after seeing the chat.
If you stop for 30 seconds or more at a red light, it's a huge loss both in time and profit.
The system earns profit by distance, so as long as you arrive within the time, whether you go straight or detour.
So, if you drive without stopping for the maximum 10 minutes, you can theoretically get the best profit.
Due to NPC characteristics, as long as you arrive within the time, whether you turn around or go straight, they won't interfere.
In reality, if you do that, you'll get scolded a lot, but this is a game, so no problem.
“As expected, Mina seems amazing. She immediately found a way to utilize the system.”
“Right. Driving 4km for 6-7 minutes to earn 20,000 won plus 10% bonus of 2,200 won is less than driving 6km in 9 minutes 50 seconds, giving up the 10% bonus to earn 35,000 won. It takes a bit more time, but it's more profitable in terms of earnings.”
“It also takes time to find customers, and red or purple customers are the most profitable, but those are hard to find.”
“For nearby distances, it's better to get 10%, and for far distances, going around is better.”
Mina was able to arrive at the destination 5 seconds before the 10 minutes were up, and originally 5km distance, she raised it to over 7km, greatly increasing the profit.
And even if driving properly, if unlucky and signal blocked, she might not get the 10% bonus, but Mina's method was the best for making money.
But arriving just in time was really amazing.
Did she calculate the distance and time exactly?
“It's fun. I'll stop here.”
“Yeah. Mina is driving really well. First time, right?”
“I played racing games, but this is the first time playing a game with a system fully set up like actual driving.”
The taxi game, or rather the driving practice game, has ended. Are they going to play another game?
