Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Of course, not all guilds were without professional players. As the season's champion, Lu Hanwen of Blue Rain was still in high spirits. Although he didn't manage to snag a single item, this young man seemed to have inexhaustible energy. No matter how many times he failed, his fighting spirit remained undiminished. He fought on despite repeated defeats, only to be defeated again and again. But after a whole night, he was still full of energy, getting beaten up alongside Blue Rain, and even cheering on his teammates during the process.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiaobie from Tiny Herb, Blue Rain's arch-rival, also came to help. This speed-obsessed player, renowned in the professional league for his hand speed, has always lacked the control over his hand speed, preventing him from fully utilizing his advantage. His role in Tiny Herb is similar to Lu Hanwen's—an additional fighting force.

However, their simple combat skills are naturally no match for tactical masters like Xiao Nai.

As for Excellent Era's Excellent Dynasty, although the team has been eliminated, the guild is still quite active. Unfortunately, without professional players involved, there is no competitiveness, and it has been in a state of fruitless performance for some time.

The Reincarnation faction suffered the most. During this period, thanks to Wei Chen, they seemed to have a glimmer of hope, only to have it slip away in the end. Furthermore, their frequent deep dives resulted in the highest number of player character deaths and equipment losses. Even the relationship between the first and second guilds began to sour, with many guilds considering poaching their members.

The Howling Guild is also facing some trouble. Tang Hao, who recently joined them, has been quite active lately, frequently helping out in the game. Furthermore, last season's Best Newcomer award has appeared more often than Tang Hao's, giving them a slight edge in competitiveness. Despite this, they managed to secure one or two wild bosses within a week.

Of course, the biggest winner was Baqi Xiongtu. Although the other side didn't get as many wild bosses as Xiao Nai and his group, they could still claim all of them once they defeated a wild boss, while Xiao Nai and his group had to split the loot equally. As a result, although Baqi Xiongtu was inferior to Xiao Nai and his group in terms of quantity, they were far ahead in terms of the amount of materials.

However, these are all within the realm of online games. On the team side, after being thoroughly defeated by a group of female professional players, Mo Fan also began to work harder. This is not to say that the other party looks down on women; it's just that he is, after all, a young man, and to be completely defeated by a group of girls in his proudest field is no wonder that he was a bit mentally broken.

Especially Chu Yunxiu, who completely dominated Mo Fan, preventing him from even getting close. There was no way around it; Mo Fan had only just begun to learn the training methods of professional players and wasn't yet the future nemesis of top players. At this stage, Chu Yunxiu, as the number one female player in Glory, could easily crush him.

After all, Chu Yunxiu's reputation as a master player was earned through years of hard work. Without pressure, Chu Yunxiu's skill level is by no means low. As the star player of a team, he can be compared with top-tier masters like Huang Shaotian.

After Chu Yunxiu joined the Misty Rain team, they made it to the playoffs for three consecutive years. However, Chu Yunxiu's performance always seemed lacking in toughness, often succumbing to pressure. This led to a decline in her win rate as the pressure increased during stalemates. Eventually, many of her defeats even seemed like acts of humility, because given her skill level, if she had persisted a little longer, the outcome would have been uncertain. Instead, she quietly succumbed to defeat.

There were some player transfer news this week, but they were mostly personnel adjustments for smaller teams. There were no transfers involving top players or large teams like Xiao Shiqin and Tang Hao. Now, everyone is more focused on which player Baihua will recruit after receiving ten million in funding. If they want to invite another strong ammunition expert from the league, their options are actually limited. Although the league has many ammunition experts—Zheng Xuan from Blue Rain, Shen Wanhe from Royal Wind, and Ge Zhaolan from Void—Zheng Xuan from Blue Rain is arguably the strongest. Unfortunately, Zheng Xuan doesn't have that much ambition and naturally won't accept their offer. Shen Wanhe from Royal Wind and Ge Zhaolan from Void are both somewhat lacking in skill.

Of course, even Zheng Xuan and Zhang Jiale from the Blue Rain team are still somewhat lacking. Instead of buying one from outside, it would be better to further develop Zou Yuan and solidify his position. After all, Zou Yuan has good potential, and with another season of training, he won't be worse than other ammunition specialists.

Because things were still uncertain, the forum was filled with discussions about Baihua's possible next move. However, since Baihua hadn't made any announcements or moves, the hype gradually died down. This made Baihua's fans anxious, since a player can only transfer once during the transfer window. If the player Baihua wanted was already signed by another team, they wouldn't be able to invite them again until the winter transfer window at the earliest.

It is precisely because of this that many fans of Baihua have once again thought of their captain Zhang Jiale, who suddenly retired.

After all, Zhang Jiale's decision to retire was too sudden. His current form was far from being at the point of retirement. Although he's a veteran who debuted in the second season, he's only 25 years old. While considered old in the esports world, he's maintained excellent form and hasn't shown any signs of decline.

With players like Han Wenqing and Lin Jingyan from Tyranny before Zhang Jiale still playing, Zhang Jiale could certainly continue playing. This season also marks a year since his retirement, making a return to the league possible.

Of course, these are just the expectations of Baihua's fans, who hope that Zhang Jiale can come back, but the club's attitude in this regard is very calm and has not made any statement.

In the second week of the summer transfer window, there were still no big-name transfers. However, the Blue Rain team, the champions of last season, announced the promotion of a new player from the training camp to join the team. This new player is none other than Lu Hanwen.

Normally, selecting a player directly from the training camp is a minor matter for a team, as such players usually start as substitutes and don't attract much attention. However, to everyone's surprise, Blue Rain held a special press conference for this young man, declaring it one of the most important transfers of the upcoming season. This special treatment instantly drew everyone's attention to the young man. (End of Chapter)
