If his grandfather hadn’t persuaded against it, he might have been traveling across Dou Qi Continent by now, returning to his youthful days to reach new heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cloud has a silver lining!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he missed the chance of traveling to the Otherworld and becoming the Flame Emperor, his life now isn’t too bad either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders at home said they missed their grandson, so early this morning, Xiao Xuan got up and drove his wife and kid to his hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all highway driving and they arrived quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just after getting off the highway near his hometown on the national road, Xiao Xuan collided with a white sedan that was crossing the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the speed wasn’t fast, and they had seat belts on. It just left a dent on the car door and scraped some paint, but nothing major.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party was fully responsible. After the accident responsibility was clearly determined, since the other party didn’t want to go through insurance, they decided to settle privately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about fifteen hundred?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! Such a precise estimate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I play Speeding Frenzy, and you can tell this kind of car damage at a glance. The repair costs at most a thousand, the rest is just my apology to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that the other party also played Speeding Frenzy, Xiao Xuan was taken aback, then laughed: \"What a coincidence? I play Speeding Frenzy too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the two began to chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they are both veteran players, they’ve experienced in-game crashes at least hundreds of times, what accident haven’t they gone through?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For damage like this, it would cost at most a thousand in the game, and that’s being generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, did you two settle it so quickly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her husband settle the private negotiation with the other party in a few words, his wife was a bit surprised: \"Shouldn’t you find a professional car repair person to look at it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xuan, speechless: \"Why find a professional? I’ve played Speeding Frenzy for two or three hundred hours, you need someone else to estimate this kind of car damage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who do you think you’re underestimating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he can’t repair it, basic damage assessment like this is not a problem, given the frequent in-game crashes and his substantial real-world experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party is also a Speeding Frenzy player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why the negotiation went smoothly; after all, this car damage was obvious, and comparing it to in-game repair costs, settling privately and agreeing on a price was effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spoiling people is impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, Xiao Xuan’s upbringing doesn’t allow him to do such things, and secondly, trying to spoil someone in front of a Speeding Frenzy player?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of international joke is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s repaired cars countless times in the game; the basic repair costs are well-known—shouldn’t it be clear by now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are enchanted by the game! Repairing a car in-game, isn’t the same cost as real-life repairs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife was still dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that she wanted to play the blame game; she just thought her husband handled things too hastily, the private settlement price should be reconsidered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with things at this point, there wasn’t much to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back home, handing the child over to the grandparents, Xiao Xuan took his wife and headed to the auto shop intending to repair the car and buy some snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s really a thousand?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the repair shop quote, which was exactly as her husband and the car owner said, Xiao Xuan’s wife was greatly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow: \"I’ve repaired so many cars at Darun Market... oops! I mean in Speeding Frenzy, I know these tricks better than anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He quotes a thousand, he’s making profit; had the quote been more than a thousand, I would’ve turned around immediately, do you believe me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife rolled her eyes: \"You sure gain some self-confidence from playing games, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why you don’t understand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xuan didn’t bother to explain to his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only players who have played Speeding Frenzy, like the car owner who collided with him, know where his confidence comes from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most real physics engine is the primary reason; only the most real physics engine can make him aware of the approximate damage after a crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, in-game, the entirely realistic repair process and the transparent parts pricing system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same car damage situation, real-life repair costs compared to the game, only differ in terms of \"labor cost\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he dared to say this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that for this car damage, a thousand is more than enough, and the repairman would still make a profit. More than a thousand would be treating him as a sucker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Speeding Frenzy’s online mode, many players run repair shops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xuan, who frequents these player-run shops for car repairs in-game, roughly knows the standard labor costs. So he said, if this shop prices more than a thousand, he’d turn around and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys are really...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old repair master, hearing the young couple’s conversation, couldn’t help but interject: \"I don’t know where you all learned this, one smarter than the next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesterday I met a young guy, just like you, he quoted a price right off the bat, even told me the labor and parts replacement cost precisely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most absurd thing is, while I repaired the car, he even said my skills were lacking, he repaired cars faster in the game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A whole set of theoretical knowledge, I handed him the tools to let him do it himself, he said he couldn’t, he wasn’t a repair guy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xuan couldn’t hold his laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no need to think, the person the master was talking about must also be a Speeding Frenzy player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the only explanation for why he’s so informed, with theoretical knowledge all set, yet couldn’t figure out even basic car repairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the name of the game you guys play, something Frenzy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speeding Frenzy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh yeah, Speeding Frenzy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master sighed: \"This game is truly harmful, you say, how can anyone negotiate prices for car repairs anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner knows everything except how to repair themselves, even when encountering apprentice repairmen, they can point out what needs disassembling and replacing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My goodness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more the master thought, the more uncomfortable he became, fearing that the car repair industry might collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really, most people are just bookish strategists. They read game guides, filled with theoretical knowledge, but once in action, their shortcomings are exposed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xuan explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Speeding Frenzy game community is jokingly called the \"auto repair crash course\", allegedly training hundreds of thousands of auto repair specialists for the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these people, aside from a few players with strong practical skills, most are just armchair strategists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the in-game repair process and environment are represented, one thing can’t be replicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s repairing a car using a mouse and keyboard, compared to using a wrench in real life—certainly not the same...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the good news is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their practical skills aren’t great, their theoretical knowledge has truly become robust from playing the game. At least in real-life repairs, they’re not easily duped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is one of the biggest changes the game has brought to reality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before playing Speeding Frenzy, Xiao Xuan didn’t know these tricks. He could at most add some windshield washer fluid, replace an air conditioning filter, and not even change a tire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now things are different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with the tools, he can complete simple operations like tire replacement or repair independently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For slightly more complex issues, as long as it doesn’t involve precision parts, asking him to change a component, he most likely can do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should teach me sometime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master repairing the car casually instructed Xiao Xuan: \"I’ve got two apprentices, teaching them is a real hassle, and they’re still completely clueless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now I’ve understood, rather than spending time teaching them slowly, I should let them play the game you mentioned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This teaching effect seems much better than his hands-on lessons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teaching requires suitable car models and conditions for targeting lessons. Playing the game, you can find any car conditions by crashing into a streetlight for yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only learn theories?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s not losing out! Once theoretical knowledge is mastered, there are ample practical opportunities in reality, combining theory and practice, wouldn’t learning efficiency be faster?\u003C\u002Fp>",1429,"2026-06-06T03:03:37.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","b1219e9353d87dde825ec7bcccafb762e00d74afde3f685323d47807cf0fda5b","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-218","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-216",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-cover.jpg"]
