Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

To everyone's surprise, Qiao Jingjing didn't choose those professional powerhouse teams, but instead chose this grassroots team.

However, Xiao Nai and his team were prepared for this, and an analysis post immediately appeared, explaining why Qiao Jingjing chose Excellent Era.

Simply put, Qiao Jingjing is not from a professional background. The intensity of the professional league is there, and Qiao Jingjing is worried that she will affect the other teammates. Secondly, she is also worried that her strength is limited and she is not yet at the professional level. Therefore, she chose to start with the challenge tournament, which is less difficult than the professional circle, but also has professional teams participating.

As we know from the founding time of Team Happy, it was after the All-Star event, and at that time Team Excellent Era had not yet been relegated. Nobody knew that the difficulty of this Challenger Tournament would increase so much.

In an instant, the few remaining online haters, or the paid trolls from rivals, who had previously criticized Qiao Jingjing for overestimating herself, were completely disarmed.

After all, Qiao Jingjing hasn't even played in a professional league, so what's with her overestimating herself? As for the challenge tournament, it's a competition that even ordinary players can participate in, so why can't Qiao Jingjing join?

Moreover, the champion of the challenge can get a spot in the professional league, so what was wrong with Qiao Jingjing saying that she was aiming for the professional league?

For a time, the internet was filled with Qiao Jingjing's fans chasing after those haters' attacks, which was incredibly satisfying.

Now that they'd been discovered, Xiao Nai and the others didn't bother to hide it any longer. So Qiao Jingjing posted photos of her training on her Weibo account.

This caused another huge uproar, and the topic of the big star Qiao Jingjing joining the grassroots team immediately became a trending topic.

This has even led to the emergence of CP fans for Xiao Nai and Qiao Jingjing. After all, their interactions at the All-Star event, and now Qiao Jingjing's unwavering decision to join the other's grassroots team to compete in the challenge, make this drama-like plot naturally easy for people to overthink.

Of course, the players who had PK'd with Qiao Jingjing's Luwei Weiwei during this period were even more excited. After all, they had PK'd with a big star, and the feeling was instantly different.

As a result, no one watched Xiao Nai's coaching matches anymore; everyone came to challenge Qiao Jingjing to a duel every night.

With the appearance of Qiao Jingjing, most of the fans of Excellent Era who were originally against Happy turned against them. The remaining group consisted of people from Chen Yehui's guild. They could only regret that they had missed such a good opportunity to get in touch with their idol.

Of course, thanks to Qiao Jingjing's fame, Team Happy's fan base began to grow rapidly, and they received many more blessings.

However, Xiao Nai and his friends didn't seem to care much about these things, since they weren't people who cared about fame. Of course, they felt more sorry for Qiao Jingjing, wishing that Excellent Era hadn't been relegated.

Unfortunately, as everyone knows, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

"Ever since everyone found out that Jingjing is on our team, it seems like no one from Excellent Era has come here again," Chen Guo said with a sigh.

After all, because of Ye Xiu's existence, Chen Yehui and other members of Excellent Era who were still worried about him would definitely cause trouble again. While the news about Qiao Jingjing's family was big, in this era of big data, their popularity would eventually fade. Xiao Nai and his team couldn't rely on Qiao Jingjing to maintain their team's popularity indefinitely. In esports, the best way to maintain popularity is through the matches themselves.

So Xiao Nai and the others even spoke to Tao Xuan, telling him not to stop Excellent Era's targeting of them, of course, so as not to put him in a difficult position. Tao Xuan was touched by this for a long time.

Now Xiao Nai and his friends' lives have returned to normal, but Chen Yehui and some members of Excellent Era have not given up. After all, since they can't find any experts outside, they still have people from the training camp.

If anyone defeats Team Happy, their popularity will be greatly affected during that period.

After all, a team that vowed to break into the professional scene ended up being defeated by online game players. Given Happy's current popularity, the higher Happy climbs, the harder they will fall.

Xiao Nai and his friends didn't mind this at all. After all, what they cared about was not fame. On the contrary, they would prefer someone to defeat Qiao Jingjing and her team, because only in this way could they better discover their weaknesses. And if the other team was willing to let their training camp players serve as sparring partners, Xiao Nai and his friends would be even happier.

After all, constantly accepting challenges and maintaining a winning streak is itself a test of one's mentality.

As for what to do if we encounter Qiu Fei, Ye Xiu's first disciple, in the future? That would be even simpler. We can just substitute Ye Xiu during the match. After all, the main players are tired, and they're very familiar with the idea of ​​me being a substitute.

When the camera turned to Excellent Era, Chen Yehui was walking behind the Excellent Era building. There was a place that looked like an abandoned factory, where Excellent Era would put some of their discarded equipment and such. Of course, it wasn't just a place to store waste. At this moment, various noises came from inside this abandoned warehouse-like place.

Having experienced similar things, Qiao Jingjing naturally understood the situation. This was an old tradition at Excellent Era's training camp; even professional players sometimes came here to hang out. In Excellent Era's training camp, your status was directly linked to your strength, and you could freely challenge anyone whose previous training ranking was higher than yours. This activity started in the third and fourth seasons and, with Ye Xiu's tacit approval, became a tradition.

Of course, because it was Ye Qiu who set the rules, Chen Yehui subconsciously felt resentful. Several times, Chen Yehui wanted to demolish the place, but he didn't know what to do with it, and redecorating would cost money. Besides, this place was just a discount given by the landlord to Excellent Era. Since it was free, Excellent Era didn't really want to do anything with it. Now, it could actually be used to motivate the training camp members, so naturally, they wouldn't agree to Chen Yehui's suggestion.

However, Chen Yehui did not come here to demolish the place, but because he remembered his father's words: "Use magic to defeat magic."

These are all reserve players carefully trained and selected by Excellent Era, especially the top three, who are all very talented. If they could be sent to challenge other teams, as long as Ye Xiu doesn't intervene, the others would still be a problem.

He was happy to think that Ye Qiu's team, which he had worked so hard to build, had ultimately been defeated by the rules he had set up.

Thinking of this, Chen Yehui immediately called Manager Cui and explained his thoughts. Manager Cui was also troubled by Xingxin's increasingly strong momentum. Although most people online still believed Xingxin couldn't beat Excellent Era, voices supporting Xingxin had begun to emerge. Their investors didn't care about Excellent Era's chances of winning; they only knew that Xingxin's emergence had increased their investment risk. Excellent Era was already struggling to attract investors, and now Xingxin had appeared.

Chen Yehui's words, however, gave him a completely new perspective. After all, in terms of strength, even if the people in their training camp weren't as good as Ye Qiu and Xiao Nai, defeating the other newcomers to Glory in his team shouldn't be a problem... right? (End of Chapter)
