Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Chapter 222: The Hero Cuts Off His Arm

"Done. I'm going out for dinner. Ye Xiu, if you have anything you want to eat, I'll bring it for you. Anyway, our three meals a day are reimbursed by Sister Chen now." After dealing with another team that wanted to attack him, Xiao Nai donated all their equipment to the guild and prepared to go out for some exercise and have dinner.

"Bring some dumplings. I suddenly want to eat dumplings today." Ye Xiu said.

"We were thinking the same thing. Someone from Jingjing's crew made dumplings today, and Jingjing was craving for them at noon." Xiao Nai said with a smile, and walked out of the Internet cafe.

Ye Xiu's thoughts were far away. He didn't say it was because of Qiao Jingjing, but a few years ago, he and Su Muqiu and others decided to create a team. At that time, they ate dumplings. But after Muqiu left, they never ate again. And today, the time was right, and Qiao Jingjing happened to give them dumplings at noon to tempt them, so Ye Xiu also wanted to eat dumplings...

Xiao Nai took his thermos cup and started walking towards a dumpling shop near the internet cafe. This is a shop that specializes in selling dumplings, with all kinds of flavors. Xiao Nai ordered five mushroom pork, five shrimp, and five pot stickers.

Lao Ye has to wait until he is almost done eating before packing it up, otherwise holding it in his pocket will affect the taste.

At this time, the restaurant was replaying the previous game of Excellent Era. Obviously, the boss knew that there were many Excellent Era fans around because of the Excellent Era Club. But it was obvious that Excellent Era did not play well in the previous game. The last team game that was being replayed ended in defeat.

For a while, the restaurant was filled with voices hoping Ye Qiu would return. After all, the Dragon Rising at the All-Stars really boosted the morale of the fans.

Xiao Nai couldn't help but shake his head and whispered, "What a pity. Excellent Era really played its trump card badly."

"Little brother, do you also think it's a pity that Ye Xiu left?" At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties sat down next to Xiao Nai.

This surprised Xiao Nai, so he asked, "Brother, do you also play Honor of Kings?"

"Well, I played it, but my skills were not that good," said the middle-aged man.

"Little brother, what did you mean by what you said just now? Are you in the mood to explain it in detail?" said the middle-aged man.

"There is no problem with this. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Ye Qiu leaving Jia Shi. But let me tell you something, brother. You may not like to hear this, but Ye Qiu's business model is very distorted and will greatly affect the team's revenue and development. Even Ye Qiu himself is aware of this problem. So he chose to make a drastic decision." Xiao Nai said.

"A heroic act of self-sacrifice?"

"Sun Xiang joining Excellent Era not only makes Excellent Era's fans excited again, but Ye Qiu also has such expectations," Xiao Nai said.

"You may not believe it, but Ye Xiu's commercial value is extremely distorted, which makes him a double-edged sword for Jia Shi. On the one hand, because he is too dazzling, his teammates can only serve as foils no matter how they perform, and they will never be able to stand out. This can be seen from the fact that the main endorsement of Jia Shi is done by Mu Cheng alone. After all, Ye Qiu is unwilling to show up, so it is difficult for the team to retain sponsors by relying on Ye Qiu's name. Ye Qiu himself is very clear about this, so when the club found him, he decisively chose to leave. Because this is the only way he can think of to save Jia Shi." Xiao Nai said.

(The above is mainly Chen Guo’s guess in the original novel’s Chapter 501, “A Hero’s Cutting Off His Arm”. It is estimated that Butterfly used Chen Guo’s guess to express some of Ye Xiu’s thoughts at the time.)
"Isn't it ridiculous to think about it this way? Everyone from the players to the management of Excellent Era wanted to exclude him, but in fact, they had already been prepared to let him go." Xiao Nai laughed.

"In fact, Jia Shi could have discussed this matter with Ye Qiu calmly instead of forcing him to leave. Don't tell me that Ye Xiu left on his own. If he left on his own, there wouldn't be people ready to take over as soon as he left. Didn't you see that he also left after a battle, but the one fighting against Baihua now is a guy who was temporarily pulled out?" Xiao Nai continued.

"Sun Xiang broke the rookie wall and joined Excellent Era. In fact, even Ye Qiu had high hopes for him, but the result was disappointment again and again. But in fact, the disappointment in Sun Xiang was not so bad. After all, although Sun Xiang broke the rookie wall last season, a large part of the reason was that the team he was in last season did not need to be studied by the top teams because they knew that the other team would not pose a threat to them. This can be seen from the fact that Sun Xiang was effectively targeted in various ways as soon as he entered Excellent Era. After all, Sun Xiang is a newcomer after all, and his ideas in many aspects are too immature. Originally, Old Ye was the best person to guide such newcomers, but Excellent Era was too anxious and wanted to send Sun Xiang away as soon as he arrived. Of course, he also knew that the main reason at the time was that he and Excellent Era had different ideas, so when Excellent Era drove him away, he decisively chose to cut off his arm." Xiao Nai said.

"Is that what Ye Qiu thinks?" the middle-aged man said with a sigh.

"Uh...this is all my own random analysis. You can just listen to it casually, brother. After all, I haven't really seen it." Xiao Nai said casually while eating dumplings.

Xiao Nai quickly finished eating fifteen dumplings, then packed a portion according to Ye Xiu's taste, said hello to a passerby who was still a little dazed, and left.

"Ye Qiu...does he really think so? Am I really wrong?" the man murmured. If he hadn't believed it before, but after the All-Stars, Mu Cheng's attitude towards him obviously improved, at least it means that Ye Xiu said a lot of good things about him. In addition, Xiao Nai had also seen this person at the All-Stars, and he seemed to be with Ye Qiu, so what he said might really be true.

"Mu Qiu, if you were still here, would we not have reached this point today?" the man murmured. Yes, the person sitting next to Xiao Nai was Tao Xuan!

Originally, seeing Xiao Nai as such a promising player, I wanted to have a chat with him to see if I could invite him to the team, but unexpectedly, I found out something that I had completely overlooked.

Relying on him like this, as a former friend, what he did was really bad...

"Boss, here are the dumplings you packed." The waiter handed Tao Xuan the dumplings he ordered and said.

"Thank you," Tao Xuan responded. "I don't know why, but Mu Cheng suddenly wanted to eat dumplings today. It seems that since Mu Qiu left, they have never gathered together again..." Tao Xuan murmured. But what can he do? Mu Cheng is the only sister of his best friend who is still alive. What can he do? He can only continue to pamper her as a sister.

Although his relationship with Ye Xiu has changed over the years, their feelings for one person have never changed, and that person is naturally Su Muqiu.

Because of Su Muqiu, Tao Xuan naturally treats Mu Cheng as his sister. Originally, because he drove Ye Xiu away, Mu Cheng began to reject him. When he thought that the last connection with his best friend would be cut off, an All-Star Game changed Mu Cheng's attitude towards him. Although not as good as at the beginning, she is still willing to call him Brother Tao, which is enough for Tao Xuan now. After all, their relationship has improved a lot now? Now Mu Cheng will ask him to help bring dumplings.

(In the original novel, when Mu Cheng was forced to play in the crucial match between Xingxin and Excellent Era, Erha was upset. So Erha changed it a bit here. Now Mu Cheng is also a little princess who has both a brother and a boyfriend who loves her! To avoid all this, the only thing Erha can think of is to ease the relationship between Ye Xiu and Tao Xuan, and the relationship between Mu Cheng and Tao Xuan. Slide and kneel down to beg for forgiveness...)
Xiao Nai was naturally living a peaceful life here. After all, they wouldn't be able to sell guides anymore, so if someone offered equipment to their guild, they would take it.

One day later, all the major guilds gave up completely. Professional god-level masters like Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu were not something that small fry like them could hunt down. If they continued fighting like this, all their guild’s equipment would be looted by the other guild.

So the next day, all the guild presidents gathered together again, and they quickly discussed the next step.

Turn the firepower to those players who have quit the major guilds and want to join Xingxin.

The target was Qian Cheng who came out of Lanxi Pavilion. After all, there was no reason to hit other people, but Qian Cheng often shot other monsters, so it was very reasonable to retaliate against him. Then, as long as he was driven to the people who agreed to join Xingxin Guild, they would definitely help because they were in the same guild in the future. Then they would have an excuse to fight together.

Only Lan He was silent for a while. The idea of ​​using Qian Cheng as a scapegoat was proposed by Chun Yilao. Lan He couldn't help feeling a little cold in his heart. After all, due to his personality, Qian Cheng didn't have many friends in the guild, let alone outside. This was the tenth district. If it was the realm of God, he would be treated like a rat crossing the street.

But because Qiancheng's skills are strong, Chun Yi Lao agreed to let Qiancheng join because of this. Although Qiancheng likes to cause trouble, he has also made many contributions to the guild. Even if his merits and demerits offset each other, after such a long cooperation, there is some affection. As a result, Chun Yi Lao now directly uses Qiancheng, who is useless to the guild, and makes him the main target of attack for major guilds...

Although this is the most rational choice, after all, it is a legitimate move, and it may even be considered a righteous act. But from a personal perspective, it is somewhat unbearable to push away the original hero of the guild. But after all, the Blue Brook Pavilion is under the control of the general president, Chun Yi Lao. This is the same even in his tenth district.

"Those with bad conduct can be killed." Finally, Chun Yi Lao deliberately added a sentence, which was equivalent to explaining why Qian Cheng was chosen as the target.

"In that case, when Xingxin accepts this person in the future, can we use this reason to incite some people and make some articles? Maybe we can even come up with a reason to start a guild war." Jiang You said. He hoped to do it thoroughly and even wanted to use this excuse to go to war with Xingxin directly. After all, Xingxin at the moment had no chance of winning against them.

"Well, even if we can't incite the players' emotions at that time, it is always one of the reasons. It's always right to pay attention to it." Tian Nanxing from Zhongcaotang also said.

Seeing that the three guild presidents had said so, Lan He knew that the pursuit of Qian Cheng could not be changed. He did not say much about this, and would not point fingers at Chun Yilao. Lan He even admired him a little. No wonder he could become the president of the guild. Chun Yilao was indeed more suitable for the position of president than people like him. After all, they were not ordinary players. The guilds they operated were actually becoming more and more commercialized, and their positions were also commercialized.

Now Chun Yilao is no longer a player who plays games for the sake of playing games, but a player who plays games for work.

It can be said that Chun Yilao is no longer simply happy because of playing games, but regards everything as part of his job, and then gets satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment from it.

There is nothing wrong with this idea. For those who are paid, this is the correct working attitude.

It's a pity that Lan He has never been able to do this. Until now, he is still a guy who will be happy when he defeats the guardian demon with his guildmates. If the same thing happened to Chun Yi Lao, let alone the current level 1 to level 2 guardian power, even if it is the top level guardian power, he will be very calm. Because in his view, this is just the necessary path for the development of the guild, and it is normal to defeat it. What is there to be surprised and happy about?

Now that the target of the hunt has been determined, they are all very familiar with the subsequent operations. Everyone fast-forwards to the deployment and arrangement of personnel. Lan He watched all this and didn't say much. He just returned to his Lan He account, opened the friend list from time to time, and looked at Qiancheng's game ID.

To be honest, he and Qian Cheng didn't have a very deep friendship. They just worked together for Lanxi Pavilion's activities in the God's Realm. They were more than acquaintances but less than friends. However, Chun Yilao's behavior still made him very uncomfortable. He was struggling whether he should say hello to Qian Cheng.

Looking at the details of the various arrangements in the discussion group, he knew that they were about to take action. With the joint efforts of several major guilds, it can be said that their eyes are everywhere in the game. Soon someone discovered Qiancheng's location.

"Do you want to..." The mouse opened and closed the chat box with Qiancheng several times. Finally, Lan He made up his mind, quickly opened the chat box with Qiancheng, and quickly typed three words and sent them out.

"Be careful."

Lan He didn't say much, just sent these three words. He believed Qian Cheng understood what he meant. After the message was sent, Lan He felt a lot more relaxed. Looking at everything in the discussion group, he suddenly felt that none of this had anything to do with him.

Lan He didn't say much, but he believed Qian Cheng would understand these three words. After sending this message, Lan He felt relieved. Looking at the discussions in the discussion group, he suddenly felt that it had nothing to do with him.
