Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

As the characters descended, the scene below came into Mu Cheng's view: a starry universe, with magnificent nebulae converging to form a dazzling Milky Way covering the space, and shooting stars occasionally streaking across the sky. Soon they landed on a stone path that seemed to stretch endlessly.

"Where is this?" Mu Cheng asked, somewhat amazed.

"The framework here was made by Mu Qiu, but back then it was just a pure white space. He left that bug in, also wanting to create an Easter egg... Later, when Xiao Nai and I were PK'ing on this map, he fell down here. Seeing that there was nothing here, he made these things according to his idea," Ye Xiu said.

"Master seems to really like the starry sky," Mu Cheng said with a sigh as she looked at the scenery.

"Yes, he said back then that if it weren't for those accidents, he might have already been admitted to an aerospace university and become a scientist. He even had a name in mind for the first rocket he researched for space exploration: 'Search God'," Ye Xiu said.

"Really? Is my master that amazing?" Mu Cheng asked, somewhat surprised.

"Um... I'm not sure, but Jingjing said he used to have pretty good grades, and he can even chat with Luo Ji about math from time to time. It's really hard to say," Ye Xiu said after thinking for a moment.

As Mu Cheng listened to Ye Xiu speak and looked at the magnificent scenery before her, her mood relaxed unconsciously, and she said, "A lot has really happened during this time."

First, Ye Xiu retired, then problems arose within the team. But she never gave up. Even after Ye Qiu left, she didn't give up, and even started relying on herself. She genuinely wanted to bring Excellent Era back, but ultimately failed. She was truly happy that Xiao Shiqin came, and she could see that Sun Xiang had indeed changed somewhat after Xiao Shiqin's arrival. However, the current Excellent Era team wasn't just plagued by problems with Sun Xiang; the other members also had mental issues.

They always blame their mistakes on external factors, never looking for the reasons within themselves.

Seeing Mu Cheng like this, Ye Xiu knew exactly what she was thinking. His eyes were filled with heartache, but he didn't say much, simply staying by her side. He wanted Mu Cheng to know that she wasn't alone, that he had never left, and that he would be there for her whenever she needed him…

"You know what? I've been working really hard lately, even harder than before, but Excellent Era's performance is still declining. But that's not what makes me feel most helpless. What makes me feel most helpless is that no matter how hard I try, it seems like I can't pull it back even a little bit." Mu Cheng continued, her hands not on anything else, just aimlessly pressing the forward button. The map Xiao Nai designed seemed to have no limit, just going down, never reaching the bottom...

"I was really lost during the year you were gone, and I didn't know what to do next." Mu Cheng's tone lacked its usual energy and was filled with weariness.

As Mu Cheng spoke, her gaze drifted blankly to the starry sky on the screen. She didn't stop her character's steps, continuing on her way, just like the journey she'd taken over the past year. Completely unaware that a group of people were spying on her from the second floor behind her.

Mu Cheng was unaware, but Ye Xiu had a constant feeling of being watched. Turning his head, he saw the Happy team members gathered around. Especially Xiao Nai, who was feeding his idol a handful of popcorn from who-knows-where. Ye Xiu didn't need to guess; this situation was definitely caused by that unscrupulous businessman.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu glanced directly at Xiao Nai, who was feeding Qiao Jingjing, and asked, "What are you all doing here?"

"What are you saying? As the vice-captain, shouldn't I be concerned about the captain's condition? As the team's investor and shareholder, shouldn't I be concerned about my players' emotional state? Besides, you guys are in an internet cafe, it's hard for us not to notice, okay?" Xiao Nai glanced back. "Then tell me, what's going on here?" Ye Xiu gave him another look.

"Uh...it's just that we all came out one after another and bumped into each other out of nowhere. Oh well, none of that matters. See? Feeding your girlfriend is the right way to comfort her. Single Ye, take note." Xiao Nai returned the look with a completely shameless glance.

Ye Xiu had a headache about this...

There was nothing he could do about Xiao Nai. His utterly shameless tactics, which worked perfectly on others, were completely ineffective against this equally shameless individual.

Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu exchanged a series of glances in an instant, leaving the rest of Team Happy completely bewildered. Seriously? What's with you two grown men exchanging such suggestive glances? And even if you're going to exchange glances, at least do it discreetly, right in front of your girlfriends? Are both of their captains this bold now?

So, is the biggest enemy of Ye Mu's party and Xiao Jing's party actually Xiao Ye's party?

For a moment, the members of Happy and Tao Xuan felt sorry for Su Mucheng and Qiao Jingjing. How could they be so blind as to fall for these two bastards?
In reality, Su Mucheng and Qiao Jingjing were also quite helpless. They were the ones who arrived first, and at this moment, the incompetence of the wife was on full display...

Seeing Ye Xiu's completely helpless expression, Xiao Nai didn't bother with him. After all, what man could be more important than his own wife? He continued feeding his girlfriend while gossiping.

Of course, everyone knew that Ye Xiu was comforting Su Mucheng, so they didn't want to disturb her at this time. Therefore, Happy and the others, along with Tao Xuan, tried their best to remain silent. Even the boss, Chen Guo, personally intervened and shut down the computers in Ye Xiu's area so that subsequent guests wouldn't be assigned there.

Shortly after Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu finished exchanging glances, Mu Cheng suddenly realized that she seemed to have been moving her character for a long time. When she looked back, even Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was gone.

Just then, Ye Xiu's voice rang out from beside her: "Since you don't know which way to go, then start with the path beneath your feet."

Upon hearing Ye Xiu's words, Mu Cheng subconsciously looked over and saw that Ye Xiu's character was looking at her character on his screen, but not from behind, but from in front of her, below her...

But this doesn't make sense. She doesn't remember Ye Xiu surpassing her, and she's been controlling her character to move downwards. Why is she on top instead?

"Haven't I been going down the whole time?"

"Who says going down necessarily means being at the bottom? Maybe what you think is downwards will turn into something much higher when you look up again," Ye Xiu said with a smile. Then, Ye Xiu zoomed out his field of vision and could see that the ground below them was actually a Möbius strip… (End of Chapter)
