Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"You're just trying to appease our Jingjing. Why don't you sit next to me from now on? We can watch dramas together or something." Tang Rou chimed in, and the group of girls united to criticize Xiao Nai.

"Alright, you guys drew the aggro yourselves, don't blame me if you deal too much damage." Xiao Nai said without arguing, and went to the side. He opened the package containing the cannon he had just received that day, and handed the gift box inside to Qiao Jingjing, saying, "Jingjing, this is for you."

"Huh? Vice-captain, so the gift you rushed to get this morning was it?" Zhang Jiale had a bad feeling; he sensed that Xiao Nai's attack was going to be a bit...

"Oh, what's inside?" Qiao Jingjing asked curiously.

"Hehe, this was specially made by me. It's a return gift for the bell," Xiao Nai said proudly.

"Then I'll open it?" Qiao Jingjing looked at Xiao Nai with some anticipation.

“Of course!” Xiao Nai indicated that the other party could open it now.

"Jingjing, hurry up and open it. I'm already looking forward to it." Chen Guo and the others crowded around, their faces full of gossip. They completely forgot that they came here for a meeting. Yes, that's right, Mu Cheng was inside too; she still hadn't left.

Qiao Jingjing opened the gift box with some anticipation, and inside was a very delicate and simple wind chime. Below the pendant inside the wind chime was a card encased in glass, featuring a chibi version of the assassin character Xiao Nai and Qiao Jingjing were currently using. On the other side of the card was a group photo of all the members of Team Happy in their chibi form. This photo was taken the day after their first gathering, in the open space on the second floor; Mu Cheng was also in it.

Xiao Nai's wind chime was indeed exquisite; just looking at it gave one a refreshing and relaxing feeling. While everyone was admiring it, Chen Guo seemed to remember something, checked her phone, and then wore an expression that seemed to say, "Have I done something terribly wrong?" Chen Guo's expression immediately attracted the attention of everyone else.

"Now I know why Xiao Nai gave Jingjing the wind chimes..." Chen Guo said with a look of being shown off.

In an instant, everyone gathered around Chen Guo and looked at her phone.

When Chen Guo saw everyone gathering around, adhering to the principle that "I can't be the only one eating dog food," she directly opened the QQ signature that Jingjing had given her and read the first sentence: "I give you a bell that rings with every step, and with every step, I think."

At this point, everyone understood the meaning behind Jingjing giving Xiao Nai the bell. Chen Guo then opened Xiao Nai's QQ profile and saw that his QQ signature read: "A wind chime as a return gift, it rings even when not in use, and I miss it even when not in use."

This is the tacit understanding between Xiao Nai and Qiao Jingjing. The game Onmyoji doesn't exist in this world. Xiao Nai mentioned this unintentionally, but Qiao Jingjing remembered it.

Xiao Nai had actually planned to give her a bell, but the new bell he had just bought was accidentally broken, so he had to postpone it. However, Qiao Jingjing gave it to him first, and seeing how much Qiao Jingjing valued his simple words, Xiao Nai was truly moved.

So Xiao Nai started contacting factories and hiring designers. He and the designers discussed it for a long time and finally made the wind chime.

At that moment, everyone felt as if a flashbang had been thrown at them, blinding them and making their stomachs growl. They even started to despise themselves; what were they doing getting involved in this young couple's affair? In the end, weren't they the ones being forced to watch their lovey-dovey moments?
"Um... I'll go get Mo Fan for you guys. You guys continue your meeting, I'm leaving now." Mu Cheng then remembered that she didn't have to endure this PDA here, she could just leave, so she abandoned Ye Xiu and ran straight out the door.

Chen Guo's words brought everyone's attention back, and Xiao Nai then directly shared his thoughts with everyone. Xiao Nai's ideas were mainly divided into two parts: one was to actively attract hatred. Since exposure was inevitable, they might as well start attracting attention directly, and then find an opportunity to have Ye Xiu come forward and share the true feelings of the professional players when the attention was high.

Ultimately, Xiao Nai and his teammates were driven by a very selfish desire to win the championship; their sole aim was to achieve it, regardless of anyone else's interests. They appreciated the fans' contributions, recognizing that without fans there would be no professional gaming scene, but that didn't mean they were playing for their fans.

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon, and Xiao Nai is going to turn haters into fans in one fell swoop!

"The vice-captain's idea is really bold," Wei Chen said with some admiration. "Although it's a bit risky, a sincere final strike is definitely possible," Ye Xiu agreed.

"Moreover, we can use this to gain a lot of attention in the early stages. With this attention, even if we leave the online game, the major guilds won't be able to target our guild," Chen Guo said.

"Where are the others?" Chen Guo looked at Zhang Jiale, after all, as the team's top fighter, his thoughts were naturally very important.

“I also think this is a good idea,” Zhang Jiale said.

“But if that’s the case…” An Wenyi said at this moment.

"Wenyi, just say it," Chen Guo gestured for him to speak freely.

“Boss, are you really prepared? After all, the vice-captain’s idea is somewhat of a do-or-die situation. To be honest, this kind of thing actually has very little impact on us. At worst, we can just leave and go solo if we fail. But it’s different for you, boss. Your internet cafe is right here. If you fail, your internet cafe might have to close down.” An Wenyi said.

"It's alright. Since I chose to be this boss, I'm capable of taking responsibility. At worst, I'll just open another internet cafe in a different location," Chen Guo said.

After receiving Chen Guo's statement, everyone nodded in agreement. Since everyone had agreed to the plan, Chen Guo concluded by saying, "Okay, then it's decided. Now, everyone prepare to face the challenges from the outside world."

“I like bullying kids, it feels like being the villain. Hehe, not bad,” Wei Chen laughed.

“This style suits you very well,” Ye Xiu said.

"You seem really struggling to adapt," Zhang Jiale chuckled.
"What's the pressure? With Old Ye as the source of hatred at the end, there's no need to worry about over-the-top (OT) at all," Wei Chen said with a smile.

While Xiao Nai and the others were still in a meeting, Mu Cheng was chatting with Mo Fan, who was still training...

"Mo Fan, why aren't you in the meeting?" Mu Cheng asked Mo Fan.

“Not interested,” Mo Fan said. He didn’t like talking and didn’t want to make any comments. Anyway, it wasn’t a meeting about technological advancement, so he wasn’t interested.

"Oh, you enjoy training so much. How does it feel?" Mu Cheng asked.

“Very good,” Mo Fan said.

"Shall we have another round?" Mu Cheng asked with a smile.

"Come on!" Mo Fan felt that he had made a lot of progress recently, and he, Mo Fan, was going to take back everything he had lost before!
One and a half minutes later.
Mo Fan stared at the now-gray screen, then at the opponent who still had some health remaining. He thought, "This guy's completely useless..." (End of Chapter)
