Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"Continue training." After reading the newspaper, Xiao Nai prepared to continue training. After all, for now, he only needed to check the situation of the various teams, and the analysis was completely unnecessary for him.

Qiao Jingjing and the others were well aware of this. Although Xiao Nai hadn't yet entered the professional scene, he watched every match in the professional league and analyzed and compiled the information with Ye Xiu. With ten matches a week, Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu would analyze at least three to four matches every day. They would then organize and archive the analyses, and Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu would use classic matches for teaching and discussion among the Happy team members.

The remaining materials are managed by Chen Guo, making it convenient for teammates who want to learn or look up information.

So even though Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu are no longer in the professional scene, Qiao Jingjing and the others are very clear about it; they are still very familiar with the situation in the professional scene.

Team Happy's training has become routine, and naturally, it was necessary today as well. Furthermore, the content of Happy's training is becoming increasingly professional. Although they led by a huge margin of 8.5-1 in the last match, they showed no signs of complacency. On the contrary, thanks to the data from the previous match, their training this week is even more targeted. It's important to remember that Happy's goal for the next match is not just two points.

After all, their goal wasn't Wuji; Wuji was merely a stepping stone for them to test their progress during this period. But that doesn't mean they didn't take it seriously. If they didn't, they wouldn't have done any targeted training. Not to mention, this is an elimination tournament; losing means immediate elimination, so Xiao Nai and his team can't afford to be careless.

Time slipped away during these training sessions, and because of the equipment contributions from Team Happy and Team Righteousness, both sides were now practicing at overlapping times.

So, Thursday arrived, and Xiao Nai and his friends came to get their equipment from Yi Zhan and the others. After all, they had a competition the next day, so Yi Zhan and his friends would practice on odd-numbered days and on even-numbered days. Of course, Saturday didn't count since Yi Zhan had a competition, so Sunday was for them to practice with their equipment.

"Master, is there any more effective way? This isn't working." Zhan Loulan said. Actually, he wanted to buy some equipment from Happy, since he was really short of equipment.

Moreover, constantly exchanging equipment like this would inevitably impact training, so he wanted to resolve the issue once and for all. Although he knew it was unlikely, buying a few pieces of equipment would still be a good idea.

In reality, Yizhan was also conflicted. After all, they could profit from exchanging equipment, which significantly improved their characters' attributes. However, this also reduced the training time their characters could complete. Less time was fine, but more time would definitely have an impact. It was hard to say whether the loss was greater than the attribute gain from the equipment, so Yizhan was very conflicted about whether to continue.

"The only solution is for our team to build more equipment. However, given the current special circumstances of both sides, with the matches not being on the same day, we won't be able to compete in the future," Xiao Nai said.

"Xiao Nai, you have another idea for crafting equipment?" Yi Zhan was very clear about Xiao Nai's ability to craft his own equipment, which could be seen from the self-made equipment he wore, not to mention that the equipment of Team Happy was all crafted by him.

They had thoroughly studied Happy's equipment, and in terms of attributes alone, it was already on par with the standards of top-tier teams. Although the quantity was limited, it showed that they prioritized quality over quantity. However, even so, this equipment was all conceived by Xiao Nai over the past two or three years, and his talent... how to put it?

To paraphrase the head of the Yi Zhan R&D department: "Boss, if you can't craft equipment, seeing Xiao Nai's crafted equipment is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. But if you had my equipment crafting ability, seeing Xiao Nai's equipment would be like a mayfly seeing the blue sky."

So when he heard that Xiao Nai seemed to have some ideas about crafting equipment, he wanted to come and discuss it. Although he had no expertise in this area, he could have just called over the head of the R&D department.

"Do you have anything suitable for us? You don't have a research and development department yet, right? We can cooperate. Right now, Happy only has you and Ye Xiu, and there's no one else to discuss it with. It must be very difficult to research equipment. Our research and development department is very complete. We can discuss it together, and even share the research results between our two teams. What do you think?" Yi Zhan said.

"It's easy to say. Even if I have an idea, I still need to see if you have enough materials," Ye Xiu said.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of material. We can even take the lion's share of the materials used, and we'll share the final results," Zhan Loulan said confidently. After all, their profits from the wild bosses in the God's Domain have been quite stable and increasing recently. The Righteous Slash Under Heaven Guild has also been established in ten ordinary servers. With materials contributed from ten ordinary servers plus one God's Domain, they're not particularly short of materials right now. On the contrary, what they need now are plans and ideas for turning these materials into equipment, and these research-related matters are what Xiao Nai excels at.

Developing equipment suitable for teammates with fewer materials is a good thing for Happy, so Xiao Nai naturally wouldn't refuse such a win-win situation. He said, "Okay, you and your R&D department should confirm it. If possible, send over a contract and add me and Lao Ye to your R&D group."

"No problem, please wait a moment, experts." Zhan Loulan readily agreed. He didn't think that using more materials was a loss, after all, research and development is a bottomless pit, and Xiao Nai's presence could make it more manageable. And that was enough for them now, since the addition of two experts, Xiao Nai and Ye Qiu, could greatly reduce their research and development time, and saving time meant saving materials. All things considered, they could actually save quite a bit.

After reaching a verbal agreement with Xiao Nai, Zhan Loulan immediately went to make arrangements. This experience made him realize once again the benefits of getting along well with Xiao Nai and the others. After all, as a new team, the strength of the R&D personnel they could hire and find was very limited. There were few people with the ability to research in this field, and normal players simply did not have the resources to research these things. Even their R&D department head accepted Zhan Loulan's invitation because he had family matters to attend to and wanted to find a job closer to home.

So although their R&D department is complete, their R&D capabilities are really limited, as can be seen from the fact that for so long, the equipment that Yi Zhan's people have been using has been purchased rather than developed.

After Xiao Nai acquired the equipment, the team resumed their intensive practice sessions. The night passed uneventfully, and the next day, the Happy team began pre-match adjustments. Now, this training rhythm no longer required instruction from Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu; the Happy team could manage it on their own. (End of Chapter)
