Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

As soon as the news about Xingxin came out, he took the report and came to Xingxin again. Seeing the enthusiasm of this junior, Cao Guangcheng couldn't help but recall how he was when he first started interviewing Excellent Era.

He was the same way back then, seizing every opportunity to join a team. It was this diligence that strengthened his relationship with Team Excellent Era. Seeing Chang Xian now reminds him of his younger self running in the sunset—a memory of his lost youth…

Thinking about this, Cao Guangcheng couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. In truth, he hadn't been particularly adept at social maneuvering either. Like Chang Xian now, his relationship with Excellent Era was built on his passion and enthusiasm for his work. But when he did that, Excellent Era had already won the championship, and back then, Excellent Era was fully deserving of his efforts. But what about Happy now? Does Happy truly deserve Chang Xian's sacrifice?

In fact, Cao Guangcheng wanted to advise his junior, but from another perspective, it was a good thing that the other party had such enthusiasm for his work. Anyway, there were no other professional competitions worth reporting in H City. Having something to do was better than having nothing to do.

When Chang Xian arrived at Happy's place, Chen Guo naturally received him. Although Chang Xian was not good at interpersonal relationships, he was not stupid. He first asked how the other party felt about his report and apologized for not appearing because Chen Guo's photo was not selected.

"Because there was limited space in this report, I will definitely make up for it for Sister Chen next time!" Chang Xian said sincerely, which also showed his willingness to continue to believe in the future potential of Team Happy.

"That's no problem." Chen Guo didn't seem to care much about not being able to appear in the newspapers. She waved her hand to indicate that she didn't care and then asked Chang to sit down first.

"Hey, where are the rest of the team? Where are Vice Captain Xiao and the others?" Since they've all come to Happy's side, Chang Xian naturally wanted to ask as many questions as possible.

"I guess they're all busy with their own things today? What's up? Are they doing interviews today too?" Chen Guo asked.

"No, no, I was just asking casually," Chang Xian quickly replied. After all, although he wanted to ask some questions, he hoped they would come naturally. He had come in a hurry and hadn't prepared anything special. It would be too frivolous to conduct a formal interview under such circumstances. He had just wanted to gather some information along the way.

"Please sit down, don't be shy, I'll get you a glass of water," Chen Guo said casually, treating him like an ordinary friend. This was also Chang Xian's preferred way of doing things, so he didn't stop her and started browsing the second floor of Xingxin.

He had already learned about it before, and most of what Happy and the team-related things were on this floor, while the dormitories and other facilities were on higher floors.

But since everything related to the team was on this floor, he could only walk around the corridors and lobby, not daring to open the doors to the rooms without permission. He was now hoping that one of Happy's team members would come out and that he would happen to run into him. That way, he could grab one or two to chat with and get some information.

This also makes it easier to prepare for his next interview.

Chang Xian was hoping someone would go out and meet him, while Xiao Nai was busy in front of his computer in Happy's dormitory.

In every dormitory room of Team Happy, Chen Guo provided each student with a computer, equipped with the same devices as those in the training room. Of course, these computers weren't for training; they were for entertainment. They were for students to watch anime or play other games they wanted in their rooms.

However, Xiao Nai is not alone in Xiao Nai's room now; Ye Xiu, Zhang Jiale, and Wei Chen are also there.

Originally, it was just Ye Xiu and Xiao Nai, but after Qiao Jingjing and Mu Cheng found out, they felt their house might be raided, so they used the excuse of not wanting them to be too tired to get Zhang Jiale and Wei Chen to come along as well. Zhang Jiale and Wei Chen naturally knew what Xiao Nai and the others were up to and felt they should help Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu, so they came along too.

On Xiao Nai's computer screen, there's a chat window between him and someone. The ID in that chat window is—Xiao Qiang.

That's right, Xiao Nai and his team contacted Wu Chen, the captain of the Wuji team. Using one's character name as their QQ name was a long-standing habit among professional players, especially among older generations. In contrast, this is much less common now; many professional players use their character names as titles or nicknames in group chats, but rarely as their QQ names.

After all, with the development of professional leagues, player and role trading is a common occurrence. If a role is traded away but the QQ name is not changed, wouldn't that be awkward?
Of course, some players still do this, which can be seen as a way for them to show their loyalty to the team.

Although Wu Chen is not a very old player, his loyalty to the team is beyond doubt, so his QQ name has remained unchanged since his debut.

However, Xiao Nai had Ye Xiu and Zhang Jiale ask around the professional scene to find his QQ number. There was no other way; he had only been in the professional league for a short time, and no one had paid attention to him since he left. Naturally, neither Ye Xiu nor Zhang Jiale had his contact information.

What can one do but laugh...

Wu Chen was somewhat stunned as he stared at the chat box in front of him, which had just received a message after accepting his friend request.

"Are you all alright?" Xiao Nai asked.

“Not so good.” Wu Chen added a helpless emoji after the message. He just wasn’t sure why this guy was contacting him at this time. He didn’t think the other person was so bored as to add him on QQ just to comfort or provoke him in a victorious manner.

"What are your team's plans after this?" Xiao Nai asked.

Upon seeing Xiao Nai's message, Wu Chen immediately knew what the other party was up to. This guy was trying to take advantage of the situation.

Although Wu Chen had been in a bad mood lately due to the team's impending disbandment, he was still a professional player and maintained his professional ethics. He understood that every match has winners and losers, and didn't harbor any hatred towards Happy just because they had defeated them. However, given the circumstances, the opponent's attempt to take advantage of the situation made him, despite his excellent professionalism, somewhat displeased.

But he also understood that the team was about to disband, and before completely disbanding, the team naturally needed to convert all its resources, characters, equipment, materials—things it wouldn't need in the future—into cash. This could be considered the team's last source of income.

However, under the current circumstances, the value of these items will naturally decrease significantly. And now that the other party is contacting them, what else could it be but trying to take advantage of their misfortune? (End of Chapter)
