Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"It's precisely because of their attitude that we absolutely cannot lose! Otherwise, we'll really be laughed at by everyone else!" Chen Guo enthusiastically encouraged the Happy team.

"Boss, what you're saying is ridiculous. If we lose, we'll have nothing left. We won't have time to care about what others think." Wei Chen said this while Chen Guo was full of fighting spirit. But Chen Guo thought about it and realized that what Wei Chen said was actually quite right. After all, their goal was the professional league, and compared to entering the professional league, a little face was really nothing.

"Anyway, everyone, let's do our best and crush them!" Chen Guo concluded.

“That makes perfect sense,” Xiao Nai said in support.

So, for the next few days, the Happy team went all out, to the point that this week, even Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu didn't compete for wild bosses, focusing instead on guiding everyone's training. Xiao Nai also put aside his crafting equipment work. There was no way around it; although he had accumulated a lot of materials, guilds in the ordinary servers were ultimately weaker in the competition for wild bosses.

Therefore, low-level materials are currently in short supply, so Xiao Nai's research on self-made equipment cannot proceed. He can only continue the research on self-made equipment once the guild department is improved and a guild leader with sufficient strength is in place.

Therefore, during this period, Xiao Nai, Ye Xiu, Zhang Jiale, and other top players began to focus on assisting the Happy team in their training. Ye Xiu was responsible for using various professional accounts as sparring partners, while Xiao Nai and the others were responsible for post-battle analysis and explaining key training points.

Over this period of time, the members of Team Happy finally understood why Su Mucheng, who only had one match per week, seemed so busy. It was because she was dedicating herself fully to preparing for that one match each week.

Qiao Jingjing believes that the saying "one minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage" in the entertainment industry also applies to the competitive world. Because no matter what field an athlete is in, in order to achieve better results and pursue the final championship, they cannot do without extremely hard training before the competition.

The day for Happy and Righteous Slash to switch equipment arrived quickly. The Happy team replaced some of their orange equipment with Righteous Slash's self-made equipment, directly increasing their self-made equipment coverage to another level.

Next comes adapting to the improved attributes of her character. The match between Team Happy and Team Wuji has also stirred up quite a stir online. After all, Team Happy's popularity is undeniable, and many are eager to see how far Qiao Jingjing, who transitioned from the entertainment industry, can go. Facing a professional esports team, can she continue her journey?

Of course, people are also curious about the limits of Xiao Nai, the former "King of the Streets" who once defeated Jiang Botao. Meanwhile, another thing happened during this time. With the Happy team gaining attention, people finally noticed Zhang Jiale's existence. And the retired Zhang Jiale was surprisingly appearing in such a grassroots team.

This was hard for Baihua's fans to accept. They desperately wanted their captain to come back and take charge, but in the end, he preferred to join a team that was always competing in challenge matches rather than come back.

For a time, online opinions about Zhang Jiale weren't particularly positive. Adding to this, the captain of Team Happy was someone no one had ever seen before named Ye Xiu, and the vice-captain was Xiao Nai. Therefore, people felt that Zhang Jiale was there to provide guidance. That would be a waste of his talent, especially considering that Zhang Jiale was far from retiring.

It's no wonder that Team Happy is generating so much discussion right now. After all, for a team like Team Wuji, in a tournament like the Challenger Series, this is practically their limit. Of course, this year is a special case, since no one expected that a once-powerful team like Team Excellent Era would end up in the Challenger Series.

And since Happy encountered such a team in only the second round, there were naturally some people on the internet who laughed at Happy's bad luck.

As the only member of Team Happy who was currently paying attention to online forums and public opinion, Chen Guo naturally knew all this, but she was worried about affecting the team members' mood, so she didn't say anything. Time passed by as the Team Happy members familiarized themselves with their roles, and soon it was Friday night. The Team Happy members arrived at the Challenger League's dedicated room, and when they entered, the room was already packed. After all, it was a room opened in the Arena and didn't have a password, so naturally many curious players came to watch, including, of course, the streamers arranged by Xiao Nai to take advantage of the hype.

Of course, Chen Guo also started her own live stream, and Xiao Nai even had the authority to make himself a trending topic and put it directly on the homepage.

Although it's an online competition, the system will still automatically review the characters. The match starts at 8:00 AM, and before that, at 7:55 AM, the two teams will begin a hard-fought match to determine the home and away teams. Next, both teams must select their starting lineups before the match begins. The challenge system will automatically transfer the characters from the previous match to the preparation area. This is to prevent either team from knowing the other's lineup before the match, aiming to replicate a professional league as closely as possible.

At eight o'clock, the second round of the challenge match between Team Happy and Team Wuji officially began. Team Wuji had the home advantage in the first round, and as a professional team, they would naturally make the most of this advantage, so they put in a lot of effort from the map selection.

Once the match time is up, both teams' players are automatically teleported to the match area to enter the preparation state. When both teams are ready, the map and characters begin to load.

From the moment the character was automatically selected by the system, the members of Team Happy knew that the starting player for Team Wuji was Xiaoqiang.

Xiaoqiang is the gunner of the Wuji team. Although gunner is not their core tactical role, it is now the role used by their captain.

This was also the name of the captain who came with He An back then and didn't even say a word to him. Ye Xiu hadn't remembered the other person's name before, but he remembered it when he went back to check the match results.

Wu Chen was the vice-captain of the Wuji team. He fought for the team for three years, and the role he played during that time was the gunner Xiaoqiang.

In the seventh season, Wu Chen was relegated along with his team. Ye Xiu didn't know what happened to the relegated team after that. After all, unless the relegated team came back, Ye Xiu wouldn't pay too much attention to them, let alone Wu Chen, who wasn't a top player who needed special attention.

But it's clear now that even after the team was relegated, Wu Chen remained with the Wuji team. He's now even risen to the position of captain. And since Wu Chen has become captain, it means that the original captain of the Wuji team, and their core player, Yu Hongliang, who plays the Demon Swordsman, has left the team.

While the team captain isn't necessarily the strongest player on the team, they are definitely the one the team members feel most comfortable relying on. And in the current situation of the Wuji team, Wu Chen is undoubtedly that kind of player.

By placing him, as the team captain, first in the individual competition rather than last in the arena competition, Wuji's tactical intentions are quite clear.

They wanted to seize the initiative! (End of Chapter)
