Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

On the day the event started, Jingjing didn't sit next to Xiao Nai this time. The reason was simple: as the spokesperson, Jingjing was called away to film a promotional video. There were also various other matters, such as attending the All-Star event. After all, Jingjing hadn't appeared in public for a long time, and Lingjie naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to appear in front of the public.

Xiao Nai and the others were very decisive in approving the leave, so even Xiao Nai could only see Qiao Jingjing through videos or on the event page.

"Tsk tsk, poor vice-captain, all he can do is look at the event page and reminisce," Wei Chen said to Xiao Nai, who was studying the event.

Xiao Nai: "..." He was also helpless. Wei Chen and Zhang Jiale were still pulling Luo Ji to make skill book strategies and research events, so the work of maximizing benefits fell on Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu.

As a result, his normal behavior was seen as a sign of longing for his wife in their eyes. The main problem was that Xiao Nai couldn't say anything, otherwise they would definitely complain when Qiao Jingjing came back. He could even guess what they were going to say.

There was nothing I could do; 95% of my team members, weighing over 100 pounds, were rebellious.

Helpless, Xiao Nai could only remember this grudge and then focus on studying the event rules.

This event lasts for three days, which is typical for Honor of Kings; other games don't have such a short event period. Many players don't have time to play outside of weekends, and this event only includes one day on the weekend. This is quite unfriendly to many players who are usually busy.

The only saving grace is that this event doesn't require frantically grinding through tasks, because each character has a limited number of attempts, only three times a day, for a total of nine attempts over three days.

It's safe to say that as long as players have time to play the game, they can get all the rewards from the event.

"This is a 50-player battle map with 20 socks. According to the dungeon mechanics, player items and equipment won't drop, but the socks in this map are different; they're non-binding items and can be dropped by enemies. Each match ends when all the socks are picked up, meaning this event encourages players to kill each other. You either kill your opponent to get the socks, or you pick up a sock and hide. Although you still get a basic reward even if you don't pick it up, it's obviously not comparable to the rewards on the leaderboard," Xiao Nai summarized the rules of the event.

"Furthermore, this time the dungeon uses random teleportation, prohibiting group dungeons but allowing five-person teams. The game developers probably want to prevent the event from being monopolized by major guilds, leaving ordinary players with no gaming experience. With our current numbers, we can split into two teams," Xiao Nai continued. After all, Wei Chen and Zhang Jiale need to research skill points, so they won't be participating in this event.

"It doesn't have to be five people per team. If we split it up, we can get more benefits," Ye Xiu said.

"That's true, but to maximize profits, you need two people per team. However, for events like this, the major guilds will definitely employ a human wave tactic. For example, they might have members assigned to the same battle zone cooperate to collect socks on one person, and then the others would work together to attack the others. But given the size of the three major guilds, the situation is still somewhat complicated," Xiao Nai said.

"It's alright, just treat it as training. It'll be a good opportunity for Xiao Tang and the others to get some practice," Ye Xiu said.

"Alright, everyone, let's all work hard during this time. After all, for our professional team, the only truly effective event rewards are the leaderboard rewards. By the way, Wei Chen." Xiao Nai said, turning his head to Wei Chen beside him. "How's your undercover work going with Samsara?" Xiao Nai asked, since they hadn't checked on Wei Chen's progress lately and didn't know how far the undercover plan had progressed.

"They're still stuffing it in. Right now, I'm running back and forth every day to research the skill points here, and I can't neglect the game of reincarnation there either. Sigh, for someone like me without a contract, infiltrating to such a high level is already the limit," Wei Chen said.

"No rush. Pay more attention to Samsara's strategy for this event. After all, the major guilds already have a fairly unified process for these kinds of events. If you know one guild's plan, the other guilds' plans will be similar. Oh, and boss, go prepare the empty account cards that Xiao Nai asked you to prepare before." Ye Xiu said to Chen Guo at the end.

"Okay, just a moment." Chen Guo said as she ran out the door, quickly returning with a batch of account cards. As she handed out the account cards to the Happy team members, she said, "Here's an extra account for everyone. Good luck, everyone." Chen Guo explained that since an account can only run three dungeons a day, and since the goal was to give everyone practice in group battles, they should play as many matches as possible. If things went smoothly, they might even be able to get a few more top rankings.

"So, who should team up with whom?" Baozi asked.

"There aren't many restrictions this time. Everyone can form teams freely, but each person will take turns teaming up with Mo Fan for one match. After all, real combat is the best way to strengthen teamwork," Ye Xiu said.

While Happy Guild was busy preparing, other guilds were doing the same. After all, having been in the online game industry for so long, the rewards from such large-scale festival events were always their primary target, especially the leaderboard, which was an important opportunity to enhance the guild's publicity and its standing among players.

However, the thought that Xiao Nai and Ye Qiu, those two "freaks," were also in the online game instantly dampened their initial excitement. Especially since the new rules severely limited their guild's numerical advantage.

In these team-based activities, the final competition comes down to the strength of the elite teams from each guild. But the question is, no matter how strong their elite teams are, can they still compete with the professional players from Team Happy?

Although Happy is still in the Challenger League, they are well aware that only professional teams can truly threaten them. The Christmas event is important to them, but not as important as the professional league. You have to know that this event is on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and the competition starts on Saturday. Professional players need to prepare for the competition, so where would they find the time to come and help them?

Even if professional players are interested in playing, they'll only play one or two games to experience it; it's impossible for them to help them achieve good results.

For a time, the leaders of all the major guilds were really worried, but just as they were feeling frustrated, Glory finished its maintenance and the event officially began!
At the start of the event, the guilds didn't rush to participate. After all, it was a brand new event, and they wanted to observe it more, since each account only had three chances, and they didn't want to waste them. Especially the members of other guilds, who wanted to avoid participating at the same time as Happy.

They waited all night, but the familiar names of Happy Guild didn't appear on the leaderboard, which made it even more frustrating! (End of Chapter)
