Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"Captain, you've fought him too, so what's your initial impression of him? Who's more difficult to deal with, him or Zhou Zekai?" Xu Bin asked.

"In terms of skill, the two are about the same, but Xiao Nai's preferred style of play somewhat counters my style," Wang Jiexi said.

"Counteracts you?" Xu Bin felt his brain was about to explode. Who was his current captain? Wang Jiexi, the magician Wang Jiexi, known for his unpredictable and ever-changing playing style. And now his captain was telling him that the opponent's style was a counter to his? What the hell was that?

"Wait a minute, I'll show you his match analysis video, and you'll see. That guy's accuracy is like he's cheating." Wang Jiexi said with a wry smile.

After all, Xiao Nai's accuracy isn't just about precise aim, but also about prediction. Even in Glory, a sharpshooter's bullets need time to travel; if you're just chasing after a dodging opponent, your bullets will only be chasing after them. Predictive shooting is practically a mandatory course for all marksman-type players, even ranged professional players. Of course, there are varying levels of skill in this prediction, because while ranged players are predicting the opponent's attack, the opponent is also predicting where you might attack.

Since the initiative to dodge lies with the attacked party, the initiative to predict also naturally lies with the dodger, since the dodger decides when to turn, turn back, or jump.

Even if all the ranged players have good predictive abilities, it's not easy to defeat an opponent from a distance.

But Xiao Nai was different; his attacks seemed to have eyes. Saying every shot hit was an exaggeration—after all, these top players don't eat all the time—but even with their full-force movement, Xiao Nai could still ensure that about 70% of his bullets would hit them. In this situation, if you didn't attack, parry, and dodge simultaneously, you'd only be sniped to death by Xiao Nai.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Jiexi now doesn't even dare to fly in front of Xiao Nai.

There's no way around it. Although a magic scholar can turn in the air, his agility is obviously not as good as on the ground. On the ground, he can dodge 30% or more of Xiao Nai's attacks, but in the air, he really can't dodge them.

"But just knowing this is enough for now. After all, even if they succeed, we won't meet again until next season. Our focus should be on this season," Wang Jiexi concluded. He then looked at the boy who had come in with them, whose attention was fixed on the newspapers.

“Yingjie,” Wang Jiexi said.

"Huh? Sorry, Captain." Gao Yingjie said somewhat hurriedly, having been momentarily distracted by the news of his friend.

But Wang Jiexi didn't blame him. Instead, he said, "Keep it up. You'll meet on the field someday."

"Yes!" Gao Yingjie nodded seriously. Yifan was still working hard towards his dream, so naturally he couldn't slack off now that he had better resources!

Gao Yingjie didn't say anything more. He greeted his captain and went to his computer to start training.

However, whether it was Qiao Yifan or Xiao Nai, their appearance at Happy was something Wang Jiexi had expected. What surprised him was that Zhang Jiale and Wei Chen would also appear at Happy.

Zhang Jiale needs no introduction; they're old rivals. In the previous seventh season, they were competing for the championship. It's fair to say that when Zhang Jiale was with Baihua, they were the team that reached the finals the most times. As for Wei Chen, he wasn't familiar with him, since Wei Chen debuted in the third season, and that season Wei Chen retired, so he didn't have the chance to play against him. However, since Wei Chen had just retired, he still knew a bit about his reputation at the time.

Of course, the name Wei Chen was only a bit of a surprise to Wang Jiexi, after all, Wei Chen's age is what it is now, so his attention was mainly focused on Zhang Jiale.

But this name has a completely different meaning for another team, because that team is called Blue Rain!

As soon as this electronic report appeared, the Blue Rain team gathered around the players reading it, but no one asked them to leave.

After all, even Lu Hanwen, who only debuted this season, had heard of the first captain of the Blue Rain team. His name has become part of the Blue Rain team's history. As the founder of the Blue Rain team, the two top players on the team today also have a great relationship with him.

One is that Wei Chen discovered him in an online game and brought him to the Blue Rain team to cultivate him as the future main force of the team. It can even be said that without Wei Chen, there would be no Huang Shaotian.

The other player directly inherited the character Soksar, a character that Wei Chen brought to the professional league. His character has become one of the most dazzling stars in the current professional league.

"No, how did Wei Laoda get tricked into going to Happy by Xiao Nai and Lao Ye?" Huang Shaotian asked in surprise.

"Boss Wei" is Huang Shaotian's unique way of addressing Wei Chen, and this title alone reveals Wei Chen's special place in Huang Shaotian's heart. It's worth noting that even Yu Wenzhou and Fang Shijing, the second-generation captain of Blue Rain, have never been called "Boss Wei."

"It must have been Ye Qiu and the others who invited them. I just didn't expect that they would still be in contact after retiring," Yu Wenzhou said.

"Hmm? Do Old Ye and Boss Wei have such a good relationship?" Huang Shaotian asked curiously.

Hearing Huang Shaotian's words, Yu Wenzhou was also stunned. Although he and Huang Shaotian were just members of the training camp at that time, the regulations were not as perfect as they are now, and the hierarchy between the training camp and professional teams was not as obvious. Everyone trained together in the same training room, as close as family. But even so, they did not remember Wei Chen and Ye Qiu having any interaction at that time.

"And if you ask me, let alone any friendship between them, I bet Boss Wei would kill Old Ye. After all, it was Old Ye who led the team to eliminate us in the first season. I remember after the match, Boss Wei berated Old Ye for half an hour, and he didn't repeat a single word." Huang Shaotian seemed to recall some very horrifying scene, and his body trembled slightly after he finished speaking.

"Now that you mention it, I seem to remember this too..." Yu Wenzhou nodded in agreement. It was only then that he learned what it meant for Chinese people to curse others in a way that revolves around their mother, relatives, father, ancestors, and finally, a circle to curse them.

The scene was incredibly brutal, and he also understood why the emergence of the professional league's battle room was considered an epic nerf to their captain.

It can only be said that Blue Rain was targeted by the league twice with rule changes; there's no one else but them... (End of Chapter)
