Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"Because our current situation has actually become our advantage at this moment," Chen Yehui stated his point of view.

"Teams in the professional league are already incredibly busy with professional matches, and now they also have to adapt to new levels, new skills, and even new equipment and tactics. This greatly increases their workload, but we can take advantage of this opportunity to conserve our energy, because we are currently in the Challenger Series. This allows us to focus our energy on research in other areas, giving us ample time to prepare our strategies and build up our strength for next season's championship run, so we can crush them when the time comes. We can't afford to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; now it's up to us to see how far we can improve our team."

Chen Yehui felt he had reached the pinnacle of his life at this moment. Of course, he also had his own purpose, and his words implied that he wanted everyone to help him as much as possible during this period. This wasn't just the operations department, but also the team. So Chen Yehui's gaze kept drifting towards the two team captains.

As the team's captain and vice-captain, Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin were naturally present at this core club meeting. When everyone saw Chen Yehui repeatedly glancing in the direction of Sun Xiang and his team, they all knew what he meant: he hoped the team could send professional players to work for them.

Although they are currently in a challenge tournament, the club's various departments are still operating according to their original workflows. Only the team, while still playing one match a week, is facing opponents who are simply ordinary players. These opponents don't require the team's players to go all out; in fact, this period of competition could be considered a break for them. Normally, professional team members wouldn't help out in online games, as doing so would disrupt their competitive rhythm and ultimately be counterproductive. However, the current competition poses no pressure for Team Excellent Era, so there's no such concern.

However, this kind of thing isn't in the contract, and ultimately it depends on the players' subjective wishes. The club naturally can't force them to do this. So, they can only have Chen Yehui mention it in the meeting, hoping that the two captains can understand their meaning and ultimately show some self-awareness and dedication to the team.

Everyone's attention was immediately focused on the team, and Cui Li also took the opportunity to say, "The team also needs to prepare for the upcoming expansion and updates."

At this point, Sun Xiang knew it was time for him to make a statement, and without any pretense, he said, "We have already started studying the newly released expansion pack, but the changes in character attributes and new skills brought about by subsequent level increases will ultimately need to be verified in league-level matches. In our current situation, we can only explore while training, but the downside is that it is easy to have some oversights that we have not discovered. These need to be corrected little by little, and we look forward to studying the league match videos later."

Sun Xiang lost, but his words immediately darkened the faces of the others. After all, this was not what they wanted to know at all. They just wanted him to come and help them, but instead, he started analyzing how they should deal with the expansion pack and the level update.

While what you said is indeed correct, it's already gone off-topic. Even so, Sun Xiang acted as if what he said was perfectly reasonable, making Xiao Shiqin, who was standing next to him, quite embarrassed.

There was no other way, so Xiao Shiqin had to fill in the gaps in everyone's purpose by adding, "As far as we're concerned about the current Challenger Tournament, it's not enough to prove the quality of my training, and the quantity is too limited. So I think we can take the initiative to find some opportunities to experiment with real combat."

"You mean to actively seek opportunities and arrange a friendly match? But all the teams are competing right now, so I doubt any team will accept our invitation, right? Or do you want to play a friendly match with Happy right now?" Sun Xiang asked curiously. After all, he knew that Xiao Shiqin had also arranged a friendly match with Xiao Nai, but the members of Team Excellent Era had been in good form recently, and Xiao Shiqin felt that the friendly match was not a bad thing. After all, if the friendly match was not meaningful to them, then they would not have a match to let the other side discover their weaknesses in advance.

Xiao Shiqin was speechless. It was clear that Sun Xiang was hopeless in this regard. To be fair, on the field, Sun Xiang would definitely be a top-tier player with immense strength. No one in Excellent Era or even the league would deny or question that. But off the field, his situation was just as baffling as Zhou Zekai's personality off the field.

Although what he said was not wrong, he was just completely out of sync with everyone present.

But they couldn't blame the other side. After all, Sun Xiang was still just a young man, and it was understandable that he couldn't grasp the subtext of their words at his age. The problem was that he was the captain now, and in that position, he needed to be mature and able to understand these things. It's just a pity that although Sun Xiang's skills had been improving over the years, his behavior outside of the game was utterly appalling.

Xiao Shiqin was quite helpless about this, but what could he do when the other party was his captain? Xiao Shiqin had to simplify his words even further, but Sun Xiang still clearly didn't understand.

They even suggested playing a friendly match against Happy, their biggest potential rival, which left everyone feeling powerless.

Finally, Cui Li had to add, "At this time, it's indeed quite difficult to find other teams to play friendly matches with. As for Happy, they are our opponents after all, so let's forget about it for now."

"Moreover, with the continuous updates of subsequent expansions, there will inevitably be a period of frantic competition for support in online games. During this period, the online game will be like a chaotic battlefield, which is just right for testing new skills and equipment in the subsequent updates," Chen Yehui said.

"Testing equipment in an online game? What if it gets destroyed?" Sun Xiang asked with some doubt. After all, there are many bosses in the game, and even professional players like them could be killed by hundreds of dense skills. Is it too extravagant to test self-made equipment in such an environment?
Chen Yehui: "..."

At that moment, he really wanted to slap him. He was just saying it casually; how could he possibly experiment with making his own equipment in an online game? But he wanted the other person to misunderstand his meaning and instead seize on this point to ask him questions. Was he supposed to say that? He was practically telling the other person his purpose outright, but could he? He still remembered that Xiao Shiqin had just warned him...

Huihui was suffering inside, but she didn't say anything... (End of Chapter)
