Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Xiaoming was an outsider, and Xiao Nai and the others couldn't really trust him. Besides, it was too early to release the news that Qiao Jingjing was in Team Happy. So, Xiaoming got a keyboard with Qiao Jingjing's signature. The keyboard was placed next to the training room, ready for Xiao Nai and the others to replace at any time.

Right now, Xiaoming is holding the keyboard, continuing to keep his brain in a state of malfunction.

At this moment, Chen Guo's voice appeared in Xiao Ming's ear and said, "How about it, Xiao Ming? Isn't my team strong?"

"Awesome! So awesome! With your team's lineup, Sister Chen, even professional teams could go head-to-head with you!" Xiao Ming said excitedly in a low voice. After all, everyone else was training, and he was worried that speaking too loudly would disturb them, especially since everyone here was his idol.

“Now you know I’ve always been serious,” Chen Guo said.

"Okay, I got it. From now on, Sister Chen, once you enter the professional scene, I'll be your number one fan!" Xiao Ming immediately declared his loyalty.

"So you've been bought off by Boss Chen? You're not going to support Excellent Era anymore?" Tao Xuan teased from the side. After all, judging from the other party's previous attitude towards Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, as well as Happy's position, Tao Xuan could easily guess that this person was also a fan of Excellent Era.

"How could that be? I support them all, I support them all!" Xiao Ming quickly explained, only then remembering that there was still the owner of Excellent Era present. This was the owner of his favorite team!

"By the way, um, I have a question, but I don't know if I can ask it," Xiaoming said to Tao Xuan in a low voice.

"If it's not a secret, it's easy to explain," Tao Xuan said with a smile.

"Why did you guys come to Sister Chen's side? Theoretically, aren't you your opponents now? And why is Master Ye Qiu..." The first question was out of curiosity, but even Xiaoming himself felt that the second question was a bit sharp, and he didn't know how to ask it for a moment.

"It's nothing. I mainly came here to pick up Mu Cheng, and it's even simpler that Mu Cheng is here. One reason is that guy over there who's been logging off for some reason, and the other is to ask Xiao Nai to help design a suitable training program for her so that she can better improve her strength." Tao Xuan said, rolling his eyes at Ye Xiu with a bit of annoyance. After all, his precious little sister had just been taken away by this scoundrel. How could he, as her older brother, feel good about that?
If it weren't for Mu Cheng being there, he would have even wanted to have a real-life 1v1 with Ye Xiu. After all, although he couldn't beat Ye Xiu at games, Tao Xuan, who often conducted business in gyms and golf courses, was much better physically than Ye Xiu, a homebody who sat in front of a computer all day.

"Hey!! Σヽ(Д;)"

"Xiao Nai helps Mu Cheng improve her strength? How is that possible? Even if Xiao Nai is a sharpshooter, Mu Cheng is the number one gunner in Glory!" Xiao Ming said in shock. It's only because there have been too many things that have shocked his worldview before, otherwise his brain would have crashed again!
"Sigh, it's a pity you've made it to the Challenger Tournament, and there's only one spot available," Chen Guo said somewhat dejectedly. After all, if Excellent Era hadn't been relegated, everyone would be so happy right now, since they wouldn't have had to face each other in the Challenger Tournament and avoid any conflict. But now, even though they're all friends, they have to completely eliminate the other side.

"This..." Xiaoming immediately realized the problem upon hearing this. Yes, now only one team from both Excellent Era and Happy can continue.

Xiao Nai saw the struggle in Xiao Ming's heart and laughed: "Do you suddenly find Lao Ye quite annoying now, and are you starting to understand how Tyranny fans feel?"

"No way!" Xiao Ming, who had just heard Xiao Nai's words, immediately denied it. Although he liked Excellent Era, Ye Xiu was also an idol he had admired for many years, not to mention that Happy also had their goddess idol, Qiao Jingjing. He didn't want his goddess idol's e-sports career to end in the Challenger League. But he had to admit that this choice was indeed a bit cruel for him, a fan caught in the middle.

So Xiaoming still asked Ye Xiu that question: "Ye Qiu, why did you start a new team? Why didn't you choose to return to Excellent Era? We all hope you can come back."

Xiao Ming's tone was indescribably complicated, and everyone at Happy Entertainment understood his feelings perfectly.

But when faced with Xiaoming's question, Ye Xiu's tone remained unchanged, showing no fluctuation whatsoever. He simply shook his head calmly and said, "Sorry, I and Excellent Era..."

"Forget it, Lao Ye, let me explain." But just as Ye Xiu was about to say something, Tao Xuan interrupted him.

Tao Xuan's decision to step forward at this point surprised everyone in Team Happy, given his past actions were indeed unethical. His current statements were tantamount to self-destruction. Suddenly, everyone realized that Tao Xuan seemed to have truly changed after spending time with him.

But only Ye Xiu knew that Tao Xuan hadn't changed; he had simply returned to the way he was when he first established the team.

Ye Xiu glanced at his teammates.

It's probably these people who showed Tao Xuan what Jiajiashi looked like when they first established it.

"At the end of last year, we said that Ye Qiu suddenly retired, but that information is not entirely accurate. If we have to say it, it's more accurate to say that Ye Qiu was kicked out of Excellent Era Club rather than retired," Tao Xuan said, his tone very confident and generous, without any attempt to defend himself.

"The pro player was kicked out of Excellent Era? How is that possible? No... I thought you guys got along very well, so why did this happen? And isn't Ye Qiu a hero of Excellent Era? Why did you kick him out?" Xiao Ming said in shock.

At that moment, Xiao Nai seemed to see a pie chart in Xiao Ming's eyes, his gaze a mixture of shock, confusion, and complexity.
“Indeed, we had a very good relationship at the beginning, but as Excellent Era grew larger, differences in our philosophies began to emerge, and these differences led us down completely different paths. The reason we can be friends again is because we have completely separated now, and the differences no longer exist or are meaningless. Naturally, there will be no more disputes. As for the competition, you don't need to worry about it. We are all professionals. On the field, everyone gives their all, but that won't affect our relationship off the field,” Tao Xuan said.

"But what you're doing isn't right either. You used the god and then forced him to leave. What's the difference between that and kicking someone after they've crossed the river?" Although he didn't know the whole story, he heard that it was the Excellent Era team who drove Ye Qiu away, and he immediately began to speak up for the god.

"Uh... not quite. After all, it wasn't entirely his fault. The root cause of all this was my distorted commercial value, and the subsequent events were more of a catalyst," Ye Xiu said. In this matter, Tao Xuan did act unethically, but his distorted commercial value and the increased pressure on Excellent Era were also undeniable facts.

Ultimately, weren't his stubbornness and special circumstances also mistakes? (End of Chapter)
