Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Tang Rou hadn't felt this pathetic in a long time. In her short Glory career, the only time she felt this utterly helpless was when she fought against Ye Xiu and other players of his caliber. But players of Ye Xiu's caliber were far stronger than her, and given her own poor skill at the time, fighting against them was no different from playing against ordinary players.

But Tang Rou is not the same as she was before. Her skill level and experience have improved dramatically. She believes that even if she were to face a top player like Ye Xiu again, she wouldn't feel as powerless as she did back then. However, she's experiencing that same feeling again against a player from Wuji. She didn't even pay attention to the player's name because in the last match, this guy was completely crushed by Wei Chen, who even mocked him for almost half an hour afterward. Yet, against such an opponent, she was completely suppressed.

The suppression was so intense that it even gave her a feeling of reliving the time when she fought against top players like Ye Xiu, Wang Jiexi, Yu Wenzhou, and Han Wenqing.

Tang Rou herself knew that the Warlock class was known for its outstanding crowd control abilities, but if she was completely overwhelmed just because of the opponent's class, wouldn't the Warlock class be invincible? But the truth is that Warlocks are not invincible in the professional scene. Even the Battle Mage she used would not be completely suppressed by Warlocks in professional matches.

So the problem lies with myself. I didn't play well at the start, which caused me to fall into the opponent's rhythm and never break free.

Tang Rou is no longer the novice who was completely unaware of the gap between Ye Xiu and his opponent. Now he can reflect on the reasons for his current situation, and his reflection is quite accurate.

Although she realized the problem and regretted her previous actions, Tang Rou still had to actively deal with her current situation. However, the problem was that her character was currently within the range of the Chaotic Rain, causing her character to enter a chaotic state, so she could only watch helplessly.

Tang Rou's situation is actually partly due to her equipment. After all, the duration and strength of these abnormal statuses are related to a character's resistance. Professional teams, knowing they will be facing a warlock, will equip their characters with gear that increases resistance, thus minimizing the impact of the warlock's skills. However, it's clear that Happy, who currently relies on the team of Yi Zhan, doesn't have that kind of resource.

As a result, Tang Rou's resistance attributes are actually quite mediocre among professional characters, which makes her greatly affected by the Surgeon's skills. Even the confused state cannot be ended immediately.

In professional leagues, many teams will adjust their team's equipment based on the opponent's core character. If the opponent's core is physical attack, they'll equip some items that increase physical defense; if the core is magic attack, they'll equip items that increase magic defense. Similarly, against warlocks, they'll equip one or two items that primarily increase spirit resistance.

If Han Yanrou could have changed into such equipment, the match wouldn't have been so disastrous.

The Warlock class can only be controlled by abnormal status resistance, which led to a period of time in online games where people felt that the Warlock class was somewhat disruptive to class balance. However, as people began to pay attention to improving abnormal status resistance and mental strength attributes, they soon discovered that the Warlock's control was also limited. The so-called strengths were just the different strengths of each class, but ultimately everything was interconnected.

Tang Rou had already realized the problem. She had barely managed to hold out until the chaos ended, but her opponent had already prepared a binding spell and was attacking her again, directly binding her character.

Seeing this, the audience chat became even more excited. After all, one character was losing health while the other's health remained unchanged. This completely dominant fighting style was a huge boost for Wuji fans and those who wanted to slap the opponent's face.

Meanwhile, the Warlock from Team Wuji was also very excited, because this match directly proved the results of their efforts over the past week. He had now completely taken control of the game's rhythm, so much so that the Warlock from Team Wuji played more and more smoothly. He lost his initial focus, his thinking became clearer and clearer, his operations became more and more flexible, and his timing was just right. It was as if he and the character were completely in sync, and he had a feeling that he was the character.

As her opponent's performance improved and became more consistent, Tang Rou ultimately had no chance to turn the tide and was completely defeated by the Wuji team's warlock. With Tang Rou's character falling, Wuji fans and those who wanted to prove her wrong went wild in the chat channel. There were celebrations for the Wuji team and taunts for Tang Rou.

After all, their opponents dominated them in the last match, and this time they turned the tables and won back the match they lost in the previous round.

Faced with this result, the atmosphere in Happy's training room became somewhat tense for a moment.

Of course, the members of Happy weren't particularly concerned about the outcome of this match. What they were more concerned about was Tang Rou's current mindset. After all, everyone knew how competitive Tang Rou was, and now she had been defeated without taking any damage by the same opponent who had been completely crushed by Wei Chen in the previous match. This must have had a significant impact on her mentality, and for a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Tang Rou.

Tang Rou's face was devoid of any smile; in fact, her frustration was written all over her face. She reluctantly removed her hands from the keyboard and mouse. If this were a competition, Xiao Nai had no doubt that Tang Rou would play another round.

Qiao Jingjing and Chen Guo wanted to comfort Tang Rou, but they didn't know what to say for a moment, since Tang Rou had indeed suffered a rather crushing defeat this time.

While they were still trying to figure out how to comfort her, Ye Xiu said, "You still need to practice."

Chen Guo: "..."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

At that moment, both women had only one thought in their minds: "Are you even human?"

Even Zhang Jiale and Wei Chen felt that Ye Xiu was being a bit harsh. After all, Ye Xiu was in a bad mood right now, and even they felt sorry for him. But then this guy said that.

Xiao Nai waved to them, indicating that it was alright. As if in response to Xiao Nai's assessment, Tang Rou had already responded, and her response was very simple, just one word.

"Um"

After saying that, Tang Rou's hands were back on the keyboard and mouse. Chen Guo wanted to comfort her, but seeing that Tang Rou had left the arena, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"

“Go practice!” Tang Rou said.

Hearing Tang Rou's words, Chen Guo was both amused and exasperated. Tang Rou was clearly annoyed by Ye Xiu's words, "You still have to practice," and was preparing to go to training.

“But the competition isn’t over yet, is it?” Chen Guo said.

"So we absolutely have to win," Tang Rou said without even turning her head.

"Nonsense." Ye Xiu's reply was equally concise. (End of Chapter)
