Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"Come to think of it, Xiao Nai, you never seem to be nervous about Xiao Shiqin's arrival." Zhang Jiale said curiously. After all, even he would feel pressured when facing Jia Shi with Xiao Shiqin's joining. After all, there are god-level figures like Sun Xiang, Xiao Shiqin the tactical master, and Su Mucheng, the all-star level and the No. 1 gunner in Glory. The current Jia Shi lineup is absolutely terrifying.

But even when facing such a Jia Shi, Xiao Nai takes it very seriously, but he doesn't show any worry or pressure at all, which is very strange.

Zhang Jiale didn't believe that with Xiao Nai's analytical ability, he would be unaware of Xiao Shiqin's improvement of Excellent Era.

"Don't we have you? Whether it's you, Wei Chen, Tang Rou, Baozi, Jingjing, or Yifan, Luo Ji, or An Wenyi, I have full confidence in you." Xiao Nai said with a smile.

"Uh... your confidence is so unreasonable." Wei Chen complained.

"This is just nonsense. As your vice-captain, do I need a reason to trust my players?" Xiao Nai said with a smile.

"What... Why are you also starting to imitate Old Ye and play with stream of consciousness?" Wei Chen said with some disdain, but everyone could see the smile on his face.

Xiao Nai looked at everyone who had been in a low mood all day because of Xiao Shiqin's arrival, and continued, "Relax, you just need to do your best. You should know that you are all teammates selected by me and Lao Ye. Even if you don't believe in yourselves, you have to believe in the vision of me and Lao Ye."

Xiao Nai said this with his voice on. It can be said that everyone heard Xiao Nai's words except Qiao Yifan who was still on the road. It must be said that although Xiao Nai's words were simple, they did have a very good effect of inspiring people.

"By the way, where's Ye Xiu? Wasn't he planning to go to the dinner with us? How come he disappeared?" Wei Chen asked at this time.

"Oh, Lao Ye said he had an appointment with someone, so he left first and will meet up with us later." Xiao Nai said.

The Ye Xiu that Xiao Nai mentioned had already arrived at the gymnasium used as the competition venue. In a familiar position in the audience stands, sat an opponent that Ye Xiu was very familiar with - Xiao Shiqin.

"Same venue, same people, when did you start repeating what you did yesterday?" Ye Xiu smiled when he saw Xiao Shiqin sitting in the audience.

"The scene is indeed the same as before, but the people are different," said Xiao Shiqin.

“Yeah, you are no longer the captain of the Thunder Team who threw things around after losing a game.” Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"You are no longer the captain of Jia Shi who comes over to give some chicken soup after winning the game." Xiao Shiqin also said.

While speaking, Ye Xiu had already sat next to Xiao Shiqin. The two smiled at each other, and their memories suddenly went back to the time when Xiao Shiqin became the captain of Thunder and was defeated by Excellent Era in the regular season.

At that time, Xiao Shiqin was here, in the empty conference room, looking at his thick notes. The tactics he had prepared for this battle were completely broken by the opponent. Along with the wonderful moment on the screen, there was the scene of him being defeated by Ye Xiu's One Autumn Leaf. He threw the notebook away in annoyance.

This throw just happened to land the book at the feet of Ye Xiu, who was about to go back to the battle room to find cigarettes. Ye Xiu didn't say much when he saw Xiao Shiqin like this. Instead, he picked up the notebook and opened it casually. It happened to be a team battle idea against Tyranny. This instantly attracted Ye Xiu's attention, because Xiao Shiqin's idea was really good. He waved the notebook at Xiao Shiqin and said, "Your idea against Tyranny is great. I'll take it for reference."

When Xiao Shiqin saw that it was Ye Qiu, he didn't say anything and didn't stop Ye Xiu from looking at him. After all, their game for this season was over, so it didn't make any sense whether they watched or not.

Ye Xiu didn't hesitate to sit down beside him and continued to read. After Tyranny, there was an analysis of Blue Rain. Ye Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "Your analysis of Blue Rain's positioning and tactics is very accurate. But your tactical conception is simply impossible to realize with the current Thunder players' operating ability."

After hearing Ye Xiu's words, Xiao Shiqin could only smile helplessly, because this was the fact.

Ye Xiu continued to read on. It turned out that Xiao Shiqin's notebook was very comprehensive in recording and analyzing things, and it was also very targeted at the tactics of the major teams. Seeing this, Ye Xiu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It seems that you guys who are in charge of the tactics are also very hardworking."

But when Xiao Shiqin heard Ye Xiu's words, he felt even more complicated, frustrated, decadent, and a little unwilling.

"Hardworking? Making an effort? If I had just debuted, I might have thought these two words were a compliment." Xiao Shiqin said in a somewhat depressed tone.

“It’s also a compliment now.” Ye Xiu said.

"Ah~" Xiao Shiqin let out a long sigh and continued, "If you want to pursue a career in e-sports, talent is a must. But there is also a gap between talent and talent. In our field where victory or defeat can be decided in a few tenths of a second, many talents cannot be compensated by hard work. So... the word hard work feels a bit ironic to me now."

“With the level of effort most people put in, they don’t even have the qualifications to talk about talent,” Ye Xiu said.

In response, Xiao Shiqin chuckled and said, "Master, you geniuses really deserve a beating for saying such things." Xiao Shiqin said.

"There aren't so many geniuses. Those extraordinary people are just working hard in ordinary ways in places where others can't see. Sometimes, all it takes to turn quantitative change into qualitative change is that last bit of persistence." Ye Xiu said as he handed Xiao Shiqin's notebook to him.

Just as Ye Xiu was about to leave, Xiao Shiqin suddenly said, "It seems that I must defeat you next time, otherwise I will not only be sorry for my efforts, but also for you who came here to say this to me."

"Wait until you finish writing your last few pages." Ye Xiu said as he waved and left. That day, Ye Xiu lost a pack of cigarettes...

Looking at Xiao Shiqin, who is now completely different from the past, Ye Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the tactical book has been written. It can be regarded as fulfilling the promise to lead Thunder to defeat Excellent Era." Ye Xiu said.

"But I haven't defeated you yet!" Xiao Shiqin said. After all, in the second half of this season, they did defeat Excellent Era, but Ye Xiu was no longer there at that time. What was the point of defeating them? (End of this chapter)
