Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

A challenge? Is there anything newsworthy about this kind of event?

After all, Cao Guangcheng had even accompanied Team Excellent Era to the finals several times, so asking him to lower himself and pay attention to the Challenger Series was something he really wouldn't bother doing, even though Excellent Era was currently participating in the Challenger Series. However, since the other party had the energy to write a report, he was quite gratified, because at least they had a report to submit.

Seeing how busy Chang Xian was, he suddenly remembered that the challenge had just ended this week.

At that moment, Chang Xian also saw Cao Guangcheng's figure on the monitor and immediately stood up to greet him, "Brother Cao, you're still here."

"Well, I'm looking up some information. What are you busy with?" Cao Guangcheng asked curiously, noticing that the other person seemed to be organizing something.

"The match data of Team Happy defeating Wuji Zanu i," Chang Xian said with some excitement.

Seeing Chang Xian's excited expression, I felt that this guy was really too unsophisticated.

Of course, although he thought this in his heart, he couldn't show it, so Cao Guangcheng calmly said, "I see."

"Brother Cao, do you think we should interview Happy now?" Chang Xian asked.

"Is the interview with Happy because of that big star? Xiao Chang, our circle is ultimately different from the entertainment industry. There's no need to conduct a special interview just for a celebrity. I guess she joined Happy to maintain her popularity. After all, professional players have a competition once a week, so she can reasonably appear in front of the public every week. But ultimately, our circles are different," Cao Guangcheng said.

"Uh...that's part of the reason, but more so because I think Ye Qiu should be in this team. Plus, there were rumors circulating in the scene before, so I wanted to go and check it out," Chang Xian said.

Upon hearing Chang Xian's words, Cao Guangcheng smiled. After all, he was far more well-informed about the industry than this young man who had just started working. He already knew that Ye Qiu was indeed in Team Happy, but that was Ye Qiu! Who did you think he was? He was the biggest enemy of the e-sports media. Since his debut, when have you ever seen him give a formal interview? Back then, so many reporters wanted to interview him. Why do you think you will be the one who succeeds?
After all, even as a reporter accompanying Excellent Era, I only managed to interview this captain three times.

Keep in mind he's been with Team Excellent Era for a full eight years, and these three interviews were all conducted via QQ...

To this day, he doesn't even know what Ye Qiu looks like...

Thinking about this, Cao Guangcheng became even more depressed. Seeing the other party's excited appearance, Cao Guangcheng felt that it was time to let the other party experience the dangers of this society. It would also let the other party know that the water here is very deep and he could not control it.

After all, in his opinion, these young people nowadays find it very difficult to even interview Zhou Zekai and Huang Shaotian. That's because they haven't met Ye Qiu. Can you imagine following the team for eight years and never even meeting the captain? The only three interviews they had were all on QQ?
God knows what he's been through these past eight years...

Then Cao Guangcheng said, "Xiao Chang, you've found a great news angle. After all, Happy is still quite popular right now, so doing a follow-up report is a good idea. Keep it up, I believe in you."

"Thanks, Brother Cao!" Chang Xian said excitedly, then began preparing the equipment needed for the interview. He had only been halfway through when he suddenly turned and asked, "Brother Cao, aren't you coming along?" "I won't go," Cao Guangcheng replied. "This is a good opportunity for training, and it's the perfect time for you to get out there and grow. Only then can you develop and eventually stand on your own. And if Happy can really keep playing, as the first reporter to contact them, they will become your resource. This is a great opportunity, good luck!"

"I understand, thank you, Brother Cao, I'll go right now," Chang Xian said excitedly.

"Okay, be careful. I'm waiting for your manuscript. Good luck," Cao Guangcheng said.

"No problem!" Chang Xian said confidently, and then set off with his equipment.

It's Friday today, and the weather is nice.

(I only realized today that I made a mistake in a setting. The challenge match is on Thursday. I only discovered this while writing this chapter. I can't change the previous settings, so I can only pay attention to this one again.)
After the match, today was naturally a time for Team Happy to relax, which is a common practice among professional players who usually rest on the second day after a match. However, due to the current Challenger Series, many professional players who are used to playing on Fridays are adjusting to resting on this day. Even so, Ye Xiu and Zhang Jiale still felt a little uncomfortable.

Of course, they were actually doing alright, but the entire Excellent Era team was not used to it. In fact, it wasn't just the players, but even the Excellent Era team manager. Now, when he woke up on Fridays, he used to have to do all sorts of pre-match preparations, but now he didn't have to do anything, and he suddenly felt a bit lost.

Finally, Manager Cui, who couldn't stay still any longer, decided to go out for a walk as his exercise for the day.

In fact, if we put aside his attitude towards Ye Xiu, Manager Cui is actually a very responsible person who puts all his energy and time into his work. As a result, he is still not married and lives and works in the club. It can be said that he has never left the club except to play matches with the team. Today is an exception.

As soon as Manager Cui came out, he saw Happy Internet Cafe across from Excellent Era. Seeing that Happy Internet Cafe had a very high occupancy rate even during the day, his good mood instantly turned sour.

There was no other way, because he now realized that their season hadn't been easy either. In reality, for a team like Excellent Era, returning to the professional league wasn't something to celebrate or be surprised about. But then a team like Happy emerged, and most importantly, this team was personally built by Ye Qiu; they had watched yesterday's match. They were definitely a threat.

Of course, for now, it's just a threat, nothing more. So Manager Cui adjusted his mindset, stretched, and was thinking about where to go when he suddenly noticed someone riding an electric scooter in his direction. The person was obviously not very good at riding the scooter, and even when he stopped, he was barely able to get a foothold. The rider also saw Manager Cui, scratched his head awkwardly, and greeted him, "Good morning, Manager Cui."

Manager Cui naturally recognized the visitor, as he was a reporter from their local esports website. He remembered that this young reporter had come to H City last year and was a fan of Excellent Era, having participated in many of their interviews. Now, this young reporter had been promoted to a full-fledged employee, but his electric scooter riding skills were still less than impressive.

"Oh, it's Xiao Chang," Manager Cui greeted him, then added, "Your driving skills are far worse than your writing."

Hearing this, Chang Xian scratched his head awkwardly, too embarrassed to respond. Manager Cui didn't tease him any further and continued, "Where are you going so early in the morning?"

"I'm here for an interview," Chang Xian answered honestly. (End of Chapter)
