Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Just as Ye Xiu was racking his brains trying to figure out a strategy in the dungeon, Chen Guo approached him and said, "By the way, Ye Xiu, Jingjing, Xiao Zhang contacted us today. He's asking about your plans for a comeback and debut."

"Hmm~ I'm not in a hurry. After all, you can't officially debut until you've truly entered the professional scene. It's a bit early to do a debut interview now," Qiao Jingjing said. After all, there are too many people waiting to see her fail when she crosses over to become a professional player, so she has to be careful about that.

Then Qiao Jingjing looked at Ye Xiu curiously. After all, Chen Guo's words reminded her that Ye Xiu had retired the day before last year. Could Ye Xiu make a comeback? Ye Xiu didn't have as many restrictions as she did.

"Yes, it's time for me to make a comeback. Time really flies." Ye Xiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Unconsciously, it had been a year since he left Excellent Era.

"However, I think the same as Jingjing. There's no point in announcing our debut now. Let's wait until this challenge is over," Ye Xiu said.

"Okay." Chen Guo said, preparing to reply to Chang Xian.

The comeback didn't even cause a ripple within Happy, but outside the company, from major media outlets and marketing accounts to professional players' chat groups, everyone was talking about it.

Looking at the commotion outside, Chen Guo couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. What outsiders were focusing on was actually what the members of Happy Heart cared about least…

Although three hours had passed, Xiao Nai's sparring session was still ongoing. The Happy team had already completed another round of challenges, and members from the three major teams were still queuing outside Xiao Nai's PK room. During this time, the Happy team was watching the recordings of their previous matches, identifying their weaknesses, and selecting appropriate practice challenges in preparation for the next challenge.

Ye Xiu was leading a group of guild players in studying strategies, while Zhang Jiale and Wei Chen were using various account cards to experiment with skill point quests. However, the busiest person here wasn't Xiao Nai, but Luo Ji. He not only had to play training matches with a group of professional players, but also work with Ye Xiu to calculate dungeon strategies and build mathematical models using data from Wei Chen and others. It was safe to say that Luo Ji would be the busiest member of Happy for the next few days.

However, seeing that everyone was no longer using their own accounts but instead handing them over to the studio that Sister Ling had found to level up alongside the professional accounts from the three major guilds, Chen Guo couldn't help but worry, "How long will it take us to reach level 75 at this rate? Will it affect the competition?"

"Don't worry about the competition. Our next opponents are player teams, which aren't too difficult. So, it's more important to improve everyone's strength rather than rushing to level up our characters right now," Xiao Nai said.

Chen Guo thought about Xiao Nai's words and realized they made sense. After all, with the current strength of the Happy team, ordinary players couldn't pose a threat to them. They weren't in the professional scene now, where opponents were all professional players, and even a single level difference would have a huge impact on attributes. Therefore, all the professional teams were desperately leveling up their characters.

For three consecutive days, the Happy team followed this work process: Xiao Nai served as a sparring partner for the three professional esports teams, and the three professional esports teams served as sparring partners for the Happy team. Ye Xiu studied strategies, and Wei Chen and Zhang Jiale studied skill points. Although it was hard work, everyone felt very fulfilled.

Sometimes Mo Fan would be assigned to a dungeon strategy group, mainly to practice teamwork with him. Through his collaboration with Tiny Herb and others, Mo Fan has realized his shortcomings and is now very cooperative, showing great progress.

After three days of hard work, Ye Xiu, with Luo Ji's help, finally completed the dungeon walkthrough. Xiao Nai, the cunning merchant, then logged back in and, during a break, sent a group message to the leaders of all the major guilds. This time, Xiao Nai had Ye Xiu and the others create two types of walkthroughs: one for the general public, mainly teaching everyone how to tackle these dungeons, since even after so much time, no one in any of the major guilds had yet completed a complete dungeon walkthrough.

Xiao Nai and the others will teach this strategy to the players of Happy Guild later. Rather than letting it be taken by spies from other guilds, it's better to gain something first.

The second strategy is the fastest, but most guilds aren't even familiar with the dungeons yet, so they don't need the fastest strategy and aren't in a hurry to sell it. More importantly, most guilds haven't farmed many level 75 materials yet, so they won't get much money selling it.

Just as Xiao Nai sent out the news, the leaders of various guilds came looking for him.

"What strategy?" The first to reply was Jiang You of the Overbearing Ambition guild. He had previously traded with Xiao Nai in the tenth district, so the guild leader of Overbearing Ambition sent him directly to negotiate. Of course, this was also because the two sides were currently in a cooperative relationship, which is why he replied so quickly. The guild leaders of Blue River Pavilion and Herbal Hall did the same.

Following them, other guild leaders also contacted Xiao Nai one after another. Xiao Nai simply sent a group message saying, "A level 75 dungeon guide to help you get rid of the slow progress and qualify you to compete for dungeon records."

Xiao Nai's news was indeed very tempting. After all, as the guild that secured the most first kills, Happy was the biggest beneficiary of this update. Now, even the God's Domain is aware of the guild's existence. The direct result is a terrifying increase in the number of players who have pre-registered for Happy's next match. Previously, it was just some onlookers and Jingjing's fans, but now it's genuine Glory players who are paying attention to them because of Glory.

How could the major guilds not be envious of such a result?

The representatives of the various guilds were all familiar with Xiao Nai's shrewd business acumen, so they didn't say much and directly asked, "What's the price?"

"This time it's very cheap, only five pieces of level 75 equipment. No materials are needed, isn't that a great deal?" Xiao Nai said with a smile.

Upon hearing Xiao Nai's words, the guild representatives' faces darkened. After all, these dungeons had just been released, and they hadn't even started planning how to complete them yet. If their elite guilds were struggling, the situation was even worse for the regular members. Furthermore, unless they achieved a first kill, the drop rate for orange-tier equipment in these dungeons was incredibly low. Asking them to produce five pieces of orange-tier equipment was an astronomical price.

For a moment, all the guild representatives objected, but Xiao Nai smiled slightly at the result. "Raise the price by 500%, then sell it at a 60% discount. This way, not only will I make more money, but customers will also feel it's a good deal—a win-win situation!"

Looking at Xiao Nai's actions and the expressions of gratitude from the representatives after the transaction was completed, the members of Team Happy looked back at the original price they had quoted for Ye Xiu's orange-tier equipment...

To this, all they could say was: It's shady! Absolutely shady! (End of Chapter)
