Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"Amazing!" Ye Xiu and Zhang Jiale, two veterans from professional esports teams, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration upon seeing the impressive lineup of the Yi Zhan team. The Yi Zhan club's standards were already comparable to those of the top teams in the professional league.

It's important to understand that many esports teams, despite years of development, still don't have their own competition venues. Most teams rent local stadiums as their home arenas. After all, the cost of a single venue can be in the hundreds of millions, which is beyond the financial means of most clubs. Furthermore, clubs have limited time to use their home stadiums. Unless a club has the ability to operate the stadium and generate its own revenue, renting a stadium will always be far more profitable than buying one.

Of course, there are still a few top clubs in the professional league that have their own stadiums. These are clubs that have the ability to generate revenue from their stadiums, which are essentially multi-functional stadiums in addition to the matches.

On non-match days, they also rent out the stadium for various activities. This is a well-established system for the club, and it is one of their important sources of income.

However, the initial investment required for this is too high, and most teams simply cannot afford it. But Yi Zhan team did it anyway, which shows their determination for the professional league and for Glory.

"Would you like to come and take a look at our competition venue?" Lou Guanning asked.

"No need, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future," Xiao Nai said with a smile. After all, once they enter the professional league, both sides will play home and away games, and they will come over then.

"Then you'd better go easy on them." Lou Guanning was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood Xiao Nai's meaning and laughed.

"That's easy to say, how much money do you want?" Xiao Nai put his arm around the other person's shoulder and said with a knowing look.

"Holy crap!!" Upon hearing Xiao Nai's words, Lou Guanning looked as if he had seen a ghost, leaning back immediately. He quickly checked his position and, after confirming that it was safe, cautiously said, "Xiao Nai, if the League catches you saying that, you'll be punished, right?"

"Haha, definitely," Xiao Nai laughed. After all, such an insult to the spirit of esports would certainly be severely punished. Right now, everyone was just joking; if they actually did it, they would have to bear legal responsibility.

"Let's go in, let's go in." Perhaps startled by Xiao Nai's words, Lou Guanning immediately urged everyone to walk into their club.

Lou Guanning dared to spend money to build a competition arena, so their club's facilities were naturally top-notch. After passing through a patch of greenery, the group quickly arrived at the training room for the Yizhan team members.

Along the way, Chen Guo felt increasingly ashamed of herself. There was no way around it; compared to the other party's place, which could almost be called an e-sports park, their few floors of property were indeed too meager.

For a moment, Chen Guo even felt a pang of pity for her teammates following her...

Thinking of this, Chen Guo couldn't help but look at her teammates. The expressions of the Happy team members were varied, some were curious, some were appreciative, but there was no envy. Baozi even asked curiously, "Lou Guanning, your park is so big, isn't it troublesome to walk around every day? It's just a matter of an elevator for us."

"Elevator?" Lou Guanning asked.

"Yeah, the vice-captain said our situation is somewhat similar to Excellent Era's; all the team's main facilities are in one building. Whether we're going back to the dorm or anywhere else, it's just a matter of taking an elevator," Baozi said, his tone tinged with pride.

"Shut up, Baozi!" Chen Guo immediately covered Baozi's mouth. After all, they were just trying to get something out of the building. They knew there was another building behind the Excellent Era building, not just that one, and that was with Xiao Nai's help. Compared to that, Happy, with only one building, including the internet cafe, did seem rather shabby. And yet, with their conditions, Baozi was still quite arrogant, which made Chen Guo feel like she'd been stabbed in the heart.

“It is indeed a bit troublesome, come over here.” Lou Guanning didn’t understand Chen Guo and Baozi’s situation, but he could see Chen Guo’s embarrassment, so he changed the subject.

The group entered Yi Zhan's training building, where the facilities were naturally lavish, complete with everything from leisure and entertainment to fitness and stress relief—many of which were modules that Happy didn't yet possess. This made Chen Guo feel even more guilty…

"So many facilities! By the way, where is your training room?" Qiao Jingjing asked curiously, as she was curious about what the training rooms of other teams were like.

"We're almost there." Lou Guanning was also a little embarrassed. Considering how easily Happy could handle everything with just one elevator, they realized they were indeed quite far...

Soon, the group arrived at the training room of the Yi Zhan team, where players were already training. Since Yi Zhan is now a professional team, it's impossible for them to only have Lou Guanning and the others; they are the core members who get priority playing time, while the others are substitutes. Yi Zhan has a total of six such players.

While these players may not be household names in the professional league, they are still professional players, and their professional-level skills are undeniable. They've all played minor roles in professional teams, after all.

Although they weren't directly involved in the history between their team and Team Happy, they were somewhat aware of it, as they sometimes received a few pieces of equipment shared from Happy. Therefore, they greeted the Happy members warmly as they approached.

However, in this Glory-themed environment, everyone talks about Glory all the time. As soon as Happy and the others turned on their computers, they started chatting about all sorts of Glory topics.

The computers on Yi Zhan's side were naturally all of excellent quality. Xiao Nai's computers were configured according to the requirements of the competition league, but the computers on Yi Zhan's side were all above those requirements.

Of course, while the league's requirements are not the minimum configuration, they also do not restrict teams from using better computers. As long as the computer configurations for the matches are the same, there will be no problem.

Since they had such a good computer, everyone immediately got itchy to play, and before they had even finished chatting, the conversation turned to "let's play a game".

Lou Guanning suggested "Let's play a game," and the Happy team naturally had no objections. Just as Xiao Nai and the others were about to agree, a cheerful and loud voice came from outside the training room.

"Hahahaha, Lao Lou, where are you? Come out quickly, I've brought more people with me!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Happy and the others looked at Lou Guanning with curiosity. However, faced with this scene, Lou Guanning looked annoyed and sprinted towards the door, trying to close it. But the other person was already blocking the door, resisting Lou Guanning's force while saying, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I see you, don't try to hide!" (End of Chapter)
