Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"Huh?" Chang Xian was stunned when he heard Cao Guangcheng's words, and then he felt a pang of heartache.

This is the difference between him and his predecessors. How could he not have thought of such a simple yet important question back then? This is what he should have been doing. Thinking of this, Chang Xian, who had been quite happy before, instantly became depressed.

Seeing this, Cao Guangcheng immediately understood what was going on. Instead of blaming the other party, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, take your time. There will be other opportunities later."

Objectively speaking, Cao Guangcheng is actually a very good senior colleague. He had taught and guided Chang Xian a lot when Chang Xian accompanied him on his previous interviews. Although he wasn't sure about the value of Chang Xian's interview, he didn't deny or stop him. In his view, even if the interview couldn't be published, the trip itself was a form of training. Although he was worried that Chang Xian would actually interview Ye Qiu, he didn't try to compete with him for the resources.

"How could I not have thought of such an important issue? Why did I only realize it now..." Chang Xian said with some regret.

"Alright, don't overthink it. These skills take time to develop. We can do the interviews later. Tell me what you learned from this interview first," Cao Guangcheng comforted him.

He was initially surprised to hear that Qiao Jingjing was willing to be interviewed. As for the beautiful boss and the other beautiful player, Cao Guangcheng didn't care. After all, they were in the competitive arena, not the entertainment industry. Being pretty might give you some extra points, but if your skills weren't up to par, you'd still be looked down upon. Ultimately, the professional arena is a place that values ​​ability and results. Everything else is just empty talk.

"Is there anything else special?" Cao Guangcheng continued to ask. After all, if Happy only had these things, then at most they were just riding on Qiao Jingjing's popularity and Zhang Jiale, who had already been confirmed to join Happy. There was really nothing else worth reporting.

"Also, there's Tang Rou. She only officially started playing Glory after the tenth server opened last year. I looked up some information when I came back and found that it's true. She mentioned this during the All-Star event," Chang Xian said.

"Oh? You've only been playing around for a little over half a year and you've already debuted?" Hearing Chang Xian's words, Cao Guangcheng finally saw something worth noting and said.
"Yes, and there's also Baozi Invasion from their team; he only started playing Glory around that time," Chang Xian said.

"I didn't expect that Happy would find such good prospects," Cao Guangcheng said.

"However, their team isn't just made up of newcomers. Qiao Yifan, the player who controls the Ghost Knight One Inch Ash on their team, was a member of Team Tiny Herb last season. They come from a prestigious team," Chang Xian said.

"Team Tiny Herb? Qiao Yifan?" Cao Guangcheng was stunned when he heard the name. He had been with Team Excellent Era for so many tournaments, but he had never seen a player like Qiao Yifan on Team Tiny Herb. As a professional in this scene, he could remember most of the players who had appeared on various teams, but he had absolutely no recollection of Qiao Yifan.

"Well, he didn't get a contract extension from Tiny Herb, and no other teams invited him, so he joined Team Happy," Chang Xian said.

"I see," Cao Guangcheng nodded. After all, this wasn't unusual; every year there were players who couldn't stay in their original teams and went to weaker ones. But this was the first time someone had left a top-tier team for a grassroots one.

"Oh right, they also have a guy named Wei Chen, who was the first captain of the Blue Rain team," Chang Xian said.

"Wei Chen?" Cao Guangcheng didn't know the person mentioned earlier, but he was very familiar with Wei Chen. As a veteran reporter who had followed Excellent Era since the first season, how could he not know who Wei Chen was? He was a legendary figure from the first generation of Glory, and his team, Soksar, had already reached its third generation. But why was this ancient legend playing in a match again?
Although Cao Guangcheng had some recollection of Wei Chen, it was a long time ago, and he could hardly remember what Wei Chen looked like.

For a moment, Cao Guangcheng was also reminded of many memories by the name Wei Chen. After all, back then, Esports Home had only just started out and had gone through all sorts of hardships to develop into the number one esports event.

“Ye Qiu, Zhang Jiale, Wei Chen, this Happy team is quite interesting,” Cao Guangcheng said. “Yeah, I think so too, and it’s only just begun. I’ll continue to keep an eye on them,” Chang Xian said.

"Okay, then keep up the good work!" Cao Guangcheng said.

"Then I'll go and organize the data first," Chang Xian said.

"Go ahead, good luck, no rush," Cao Guangcheng said.

It was only then that Chang Xian realized it was Saturday, and the challenge match was on Friday. The report wouldn't be released until Monday, so he could finish the report tomorrow. (He'd just gone with the flow since it was always Friday.)
"Yes, so there's still plenty of time to think things through. Besides, the Monday issue probably won't include your interview; you can wait for the Friday issue," Cao Guangcheng said. Esports Home publishes twice a week, once on Monday and once on Friday.

"Why?" Chang Xian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because the competition isn't over yet," Cao Guangcheng explained.

"what?"

"Firstly, the match between Happy and Wuji is not yet over. Secondly, most of the Monday news will be devoted to professional matches, and esports is not just about Glory. It is quite difficult to get coverage of the Challenger Series on Monday. So I suggest you do it last Friday, or even next Friday," Cao Guangcheng said.

"This……"

"Don't worry, if we want to maximize the coverage, we have to wait until Wuji completely pulls off this upset. In this episode, saying 'Happy Xin pulled off an upset' is actually the absolute maximum," Cao Guangcheng said. After all, with so many years of experience, Cao Guangcheng understood these things very well.

"Moreover, after this setback, Team Wuji lost too many points to Team Happy. Next week, the opponent will definitely conduct closed training and fight with their backs against the wall. Therefore, it's better to wait until after the next match to make everything clear," Cao Guangcheng said.

----------

Monday arrived, and Chen Guo excitedly looked around at this week's eSports Home newspaper, only to find that their team had been mentioned again. The subject of that sentence was still the Wuji team, which completely confused Chen Guo.

Where is our interview?

"Don't worry, Sister Chen, we'll get it once we win this week," Qiao Jingjing reassured her. Although her understanding of eSports Home was limited, she understood the media. She was intimately familiar with its ins and outs. (End of Chapter)
