Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

The next morning, Chen Guo began making preliminary arrangements according to Xiao Nai's plan.

"Boss... are you sure we want to do this event? I heard that a nearby internet cafe did this kind of event and ended up losing money because it attracted some experts. Even though we have Xiao Nai, there are still risks." An internet cafe manager said with some concern as he looked at Chen Guo's event. After all, the e-sports team and the internet cafe were managed separately, and the internet cafe manager was not familiar with the current strength of Chen Guo's team.

"Of course, our team is very strong, don't worry, go for it!" Chen Guo commanded.

"But boss, won't you go bankrupt doing this? Will we have to find new jobs later?" the employee joked, clearly having spent some time with Chen Guo.

"Don't worry, even if we go bankrupt, you'll still get your salaries." Chen Guo rolled her eyes at the other person, annoyed.

Since Chen Guo had said that, the internet cafe staff didn't say anything more. After all, they were paid a fixed salary with no commission or other benefits. This kind of thing really didn't affect them, so everyone stopped hesitating. Soon the setup was complete. Several advertising signs appeared at the entrance of Xingxin Internet Cafe, and the most eye-catching among them were the two words "Free".

Even though it's still early, the large "Free" sign is still very effective in attracting the attention of passersby. After all, regardless of whether it's true or not, since it's free, everyone will take a look.

Of course, offering it for free is meant to attract attention, and the sign next to it displays the rules of this promotion.

The rules are actually quite simple: for the next two weeks, until September, Xingxin Internet Cafe will offer free internet access.

The reason for this event is clearly stated above: the internet cafe owner is forming a gaming team, and these two weeks of free internet access are a way for their team to celebrate. Customers who join the owner's guild or are already in the guild can play for free for another week in September.

Upon seeing this message, customers who had previously joined Chen Guo's guild to receive internet fees remembered that the boss had previously mentioned the goal of establishing a team, entering the challenge tournament, and advancing into the professional scene.

Some regular customers of the internet cafes were naturally willing to experience this free benefit. When swiping their ID cards, they would send Chen Guo a blessing. Of course, most of these were just polite gestures. After all, some people who play Honor of Kings know that this season's Challenger Tournament has teams like Excellent Era. How could an internet cafe team like Chen Guo possibly win?
Some fans of Excellent Era, upon seeing Chen Guo's standee, would mock her, saying things like, "Go to sleep early," or "You can have anything in your dreams."

Chen Guo was prepared for this; after all, where there are blessings, there are bound to be insults. Their location was a significant factor—it was the area with the largest number of Excellent Era fans. To form a team so openly here, and even appear alongside Excellent Era in the Challenger League, was practically inviting hatred right in front of them.

Immediately, a barrage of sarcastic remarks emerged, such as: "Now anyone can claim to be a professional gamer."

"It turns out that daydreaming is indeed inexpensive."

"It's just a marketing tactic. If you actually go for it, there might be hidden costs. Don't pay any attention to it." "Team Happy, the name is actually quite fitting. Hahahaha." Such comments came one after another.

However, all of this was within everyone's expectations. So the next day, Chen Guo added another billboard outside, saying: "Our team has been established for a while now, and to create some excitement, interested friends are welcome to challenge them. You can freely spar with our players before September 1st. PK is free, and if you win, you can get 1,000 yuan in internet fees or 500 yuan in cash. This is just to boost our popularity. Everyone is welcome to come and play!"

Some of the internet cafe's regular customers participated, but they all went with the intention of offering their blessings, since they all knew Xiao Nai. It was just for fun, a way to send Chen Guo their best wishes.

As for those who hurl insults, none of them came to cause trouble today. After all, ordinary players have limited strength. They've seen the PK between the internet cafe regulars and Xiao Nai and his friends. Who would do something they weren't confident about? This isn't a wish-fulfillment novel where everyone wants to be proven wrong.

However, because the internet cafe was free, it was packed with customers all day long. As more and more people learned about it and time passed, news about Happy Internet Cafe and Happy eSports Team began to appear online.

Some local Excellent Era fans, who felt they were stronger, started going to internet cafes to challenge Team Happy, naturally aiming to embarrass them.

Chen Guo naturally had no objection to this and said directly to them, "Sparring and PK are no problem, but my team members need to train during the day. If you want to spar, we will start at 7:30 pm. You can come whenever you want. There will be a big screen to broadcast it live."

After all, this is the situation Xiao Nai and his team wanted. Because Chen Guo's billboards advertising her plans to establish a professional team and enter the professional league were not taken away, and Excellent Era had not yet been relegated at that time, there would naturally be no talk of Happy targeting Excellent Era now.

However, in the end, Happy is just a player team, and even the attention they receive online is very limited. After all, there are many teams that mocked Excellent Era, such as Excellent Era, which was eliminated in the first round of the Challenger Tournament, but it didn't cause any public opinion storm.

The reason why Happy is getting attention now is mainly because some fans of Excellent Era can't find other teams to mock Excellent Era, so they simply target this internet cafe team that has emerged.

However, because some people also revealed that Happy had said they wanted to enter the professional scene before Excellent Era was relegated, some rational Excellent Era fans didn't pay much attention. After all, the other team wasn't doing it intentionally, and it was just a random team from an internet cafe; how could such a team possibly have any impact on Excellent Era?

So, Happy's popularity online should have subsided in two or three days, but how could some people let Happy's public opinion die down so quickly? They'd love for Happy to become the antithesis of all Excellent Era fans.

That's right, Excellent Era's guild department has made its move. They've started stirring up trouble among Excellent Era fans, trying to disrupt Xiao Nai and the others' training.

The result was that the Excellent Era fans who used to frequent Happy Internet Cafe no longer came, but the free event brought in many new faces—either non-Glory players or other groups of fans. These were the people Xiao Nai and his team were targeting, as only they had the potential to become their future fans. (End of Chapter)
