Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"Time waits for no one!" Ye Xiu, who was also in the senior group, said.

Xiao Nai didn't interrupt this time, after all, this is the helplessness of e-sports players, and they will all experience these things in the future.

Like Xiao Nai, Zhang Xinjie also remained silent. After all, these professional players from the golden generation were currently at the peak of their careers, so it wasn't appropriate for them to join the conversation.

"The reason Tyranny has been working so hard to take down jungle bosses lately is probably to craft equipment for you guys," Ye Xiu said.

"Do you think we would tell you something like this?" Lin Jingyan said disdainfully.

"I really don't understand people in your circle. Everyone's so secretive about what they do, as if you're hiding things so well," Ye Xiu said with a look of disdain.

"Cough cough..." Lin Jingyan almost coughed up blood from Ye Xiu's words. After all, this guy had only retired half a year ago, yet he spoke as if he had already cleared his name and that none of this had anything to do with him. This guy was a senior in their industry back then! How could he have the nerve to say such things?

“Actually, you can tell me what you need,” Ye Xiu continued.

"Oh, what do you need?" Lin Jingyan had been Ye Xiu's old rival for many years, and he knew very well how shameless Ye Xiu was. He knew that there was no such thing as giving others a break when it came to stealing wild bosses. Usually, if you didn't have the materials yourself and wanted to trade with someone else, then the other party would feel bad if they didn't extort you, since you were the one who needed them.

For an exchange to be truly equivalent, unless both parties' needs perfectly align, in which case they would exchange goods at an equal cost, resulting in a loss for both. However, if one party's need is more urgent, they'll be at a disadvantage and get exploited. Lin Jingyan understood this perfectly, so when he heard Ye Xiu's words, he knew there were definitely conditions or demands involved. He was simply looking to see if he could use this opportunity to gain some benefits from them.

In reality, as one of the top three guilds in Glory, it's highly unlikely that Tyranny Ambition would be in dire need of any materials after so many years of accumulation. Even if they were, Tyranny Ambition could easily obtain them through legitimate trading channels. As for competing for bosses in online games, these are wild bosses that only appear once a week, and even the respawn time, whether you can successfully compete for them, and whether you'll get the required materials are all uncertain.

Therefore, if it's simply about acquiring materials, direct trading is still the safest option. The current aggressive competition for wild bosses in online games is simply for the sake of stability. Of course, more importantly, it's because veteran players like Zhang Xinjie and Lin Jingyan are willing to contribute to their teams.

Therefore, when Ye Xiu raised this question, Lin Jingyan was not so anxious, and could even ask Ye Xiu what he needed instead.

Even though they knew Xiao Nai had a lot of materials, their team's self-made equipment was all from scratch, and no matter how much they had, it would never be enough.

“We do have quite a few needs, but it’s not convenient to trade without knowing yours, is it?” Xiao Nai said, since he was in charge of this aspect and knew best. Moreover, Xiao Nai was quite frank; ultimately, their goal was to find a fair platform where the other party could trade if they wanted, and if not, that was fine too.

After all, Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu were well aware that as one of the three major guilds, Baqi Xiongtu had a long-standing foundation. Even if they needed to forge equipment for both of them at once, they wouldn't be in dire need of materials. However, if the other party got stuck in the equipment crafting process and consumed a large amount of materials, their word would be enough. If the other party wanted a fair trade of materials, they would definitely contact them. After all, at least it would be a fair trade with them; going through other guilds, even through legitimate channels, would ultimately result in them overcharging them.

"Okay, I've got it. If we really need anything, I'll mention it to them." Lin Jingyan naturally understood what Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu meant, and nodded to indicate that he would pass on the message. His words were well-chosen; after all, he had only recently joined Tyranny and couldn't possibly make decisions like the owner of Tyranny right now. This was the tact and discretion of a veteran player.

While Xiao Nai and his group were exchanging words, the battle between Lu Hanwen and Liu Xiaobie continued unabated. Both of them moved very quickly, their figures constantly shifting around them as they parried and exchanged various sword techniques. The scene was filled with the whistling of swords, but neither of them gained the upper hand.

As time passed, Xiao Nai said, "Hanwen is about to run out of magic power."

“Yes, Liu Xiaobie on the other side is the same,” Ye Xiu said.

The two professional players, without any support, managed to deplete their mana bars, yet the battle remained undecided. However, the fight didn't end with the mana bars running out; they continued, using lower-level skills (before level 20) when their ultimate abilities were unavailable, and basic attacks when those were no longer needed.

Slashing, hacking, thrusting, parrying... In Glory, even basic attacks are incredibly flexible and offer a great deal of room for skillful maneuvering. The attack trajectories are controlled by the mouse, and the two players exchange basic attacks in quick succession. While there aren't the sweeping sword auras of skills, the sharp, crisscrossing sword lights and the resounding clang of metal colliding like raindrops demonstrate the speed and precision of both players' actions.

This maneuver completely shocked the ordinary players watching. Was this really the basic attack they were so familiar with? If the opponent were attacking them, they felt they wouldn't even need to use skills; these basic attacks alone would be enough. At this attack speed, before they could even react, their characters would probably have already been hit several times.

But looking at these two, with such high-intensity attacks, they still maintain a very rhythmic attack and defense. How exactly do they manage to parry each other's weapons so precisely?

"Their defense is really impressive," Baozi remarked with some admiration upon seeing this scene.

"Actually, it's not bad. The difficulty lies in the precision of the execution, not in parrying. After all, they both have the same class and both use normal attacks, so the hitboxes are the same. Parrying each other is perfectly normal, but the precision of their execution is something you should learn from," Xiao Nai said.

"So who has the advantage now?" Qiao Jingjing asked curiously.

Given their current level of skill, it's impossible to tell who has the upper hand in this tense situation.

"If they continue to exchange basic attacks like this, Liu Xiaobie will have the advantage. He's even controlling his hand speed now," Ye Xiu said.

"Well, Lu Hanwen is no slouch either; he parried all of Liu Xiao's attacks," Xiao Nai said.

Just as Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu had said, Liu Xiaobie, relying on his hand speed, had now taken the initiative and began a series of preemptive attacks. (End of Chapter)
