Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

The captains of Tiny Herb, Tyranny, and Blue Rain are having a real headache. It seems like all of Happy's players have been corrupted by Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu, and everyone likes to put skills from other classes on their weapons.

They're seeing anywhere from two to five skills right now. You have to understand, a normal professional player's limit is learning a few low-level shared skills. Skill points from equipment are naturally used to enhance their own skills; there's no room to learn other skill trees. Besides, everyone's used to playing their own class; adding a few more skills at once might not even integrate them into their own combo system.

If you can't integrate these skills well, their usage rate will be very low. If you can't even use them once in a match, it's better to use them to strengthen your own skills so you can use them more often.

However, they knew the background of the Happy team members. Most of them were newbies who had just started playing Glory. They had grown up under the influence of Lao Ye and Xiao Nai, who did not follow the normal path. As newcomers to Glory, they could simply treat those two or three skills as their own skills. It would not affect their gameplay strategy at all. After all, when they had these skills, their own gameplay was not yet mature.

Moreover, the members of Team Happy didn't blindly add skills. For example, Tang Rou only added the Instant Teleport and Ice Line skills of an Elemental Mage.

Ice Line: An ice-based spell. Wherever magic is drawn, an ice line is left behind. This ice line forms a magical barrier within 1 second, freezing anyone who touches it for 4 seconds. The ice line lasts for 12 seconds from the barrier's formation, while the spell's cast duration is 3 seconds. No player characters or NPCs are allowed where the ice line is drawn; if the ice line touches a character, the skill will be forcibly interrupted. Player testing has shown that the ice line can seal heights without limit, but currently, players cannot directly jump over it using any means available.

Tang Rou chose these two skills for a simple reason: one offers excellent mobility, and the other can control opponents, both of which allow her to close the distance more effectively. Qiao Yifan, a professionally trained player, didn't change his approach because of Happy's unique characteristics. His views were more traditional, so he didn't use many other classes' skills, instead focusing on his own class's abilities.

As for Baozi, who was originally Xiao Nai's successor to Lord Grim, and his apprentice Qiao Jingjing, they both had more skills on their equipment. Qiao Jingjing was more used to this varied playstyle and didn't want to waste her ranged talent, while Baozi's playstyle was due to his unconventional thinking. Xiao Nai was very curious about what would happen if he had more choices.

Of course, what really gives them a headache isn't the kids from Happy, since their current strength isn't enough to give them a real headache. What truly gives them a headache is the change in Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu. One's skills almost encompass the entire Gunner class, and the other's skills cover all classes.

The most troublesome thing is that you never know what skills your opponent has brought in this match.

They also acknowledged that although it was just a challenge match, it didn't diminish the high quality of the game. From a normal perspective, a team that had been out of the professional scene for several years and a grassroots team from an internet cafe, no matter how entertaining their match was, would only be of average quality. But today's match was one that could be used as a textbook example.

Whether it's using the opponent to clear obstacles in unfavorable terrain, or turning the tables and launching an attack to lure the opponent into a trap, all of these tactics were vividly demonstrated in this match.

In reality, most of Happy's players were quite limited in skill level during this match, and their tactics weren't foolproof. If Wuji's players had been even slightly more careful and attentive, Happy's tactical intentions would have been quite obvious and easy to spot. Wuji wouldn't have been in such a passive position, ultimately losing the match.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world. And even if the Wuji team's players realized that Happy was preparing to use the support strategy, how can you be sure that Happy didn't have other plans?
Ultimately, in professional competitions, only victory is the sole indicator of a team's and a team's playstyle's effectiveness. And in this match, both the tactics and the team were highly successful.

"Team Happy is so strong!!!"

After the official announcement that Team Happy had not cheated and that the match result was valid, Team Happy fans went wild. This message immediately flooded the public chat. Meanwhile, Team Happy's detractors were practically in tears, frustrated by the dramatic ups and downs of the match; every time they thought they were in control, they were ultimately proven wrong.

Especially considering Happy's current score of 8.5 against a professional team, and playing at home, does Happy truly have a chance to challenge Excellent Era and fight for the only qualifying spot?
This thought wasn't just on the minds of those who wanted to be proven wrong; it also crossed the minds of Happy fans, especially Qiao Jingjing's fans. After all, they had always felt that their idol was just going through the motions, and they even felt indignant on his behalf, as he had just entered the esports scene and immediately encountered a top team like Excellent Era.

Even so, Qiao Jingjing never expressed any thoughts of giving up or being negative. Instead, she used each match to show others her professional attitude.

Now, Qiao Jingjing might actually be able to break into the professional scene.

The topic of stars breaking into the professional scene is absolutely explosive.

Then, could Qiao Jingjing introduce herself like this: She is the best at playing Honor of Kings among all the celebrities, and the best singer and actress among all the professional players?

Honor's official team was even happier, after all, what could generate more buzz than their Honor brand ambassador entering the professional scene?
Qiao Jingjing's name quickly became a trending topic, along with the Happy esports team.

Team Happy's popularity soared due to this surge in popularity, resulting in an increasing number of players joining the Happy Guild.

It can be said that everything at Happy is moving in a positive direction.

The match has just ended, and compared to Happy, who are currently causing a huge uproar online, Wuji's morale is much lower, both for the team and their fans. Having been defeated 8.5-1 at home, such a large gap makes it virtually impossible to recover in the next away game. It's safe to say that unless something unexpected happens, Wuji's Challenger League journey this year will end here.

As for next year, after so many years of struggling in the Challenger Series, does Wuji even have a next year? While reaching the Challenger Series finals, even a loss guarantees prize money, this is ultimately a drop in the bucket for a club. This year, Wuji hasn't even received that income. How will they continue?

How many fans will continue to follow them?

After this match, the players of Team Wuji were more desperate than anyone else... (End of Chapter)
