Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Since it's a Christmas event, the quests and dungeons are naturally related to snow. When Xiao Nai and Baozi entered the event dungeon, they were greeted by a world of silver and white, with colorful lights and ribbons hanging everywhere, perfectly creating a festive atmosphere. Combined with the high-quality map scenery of Glory, where every scene could be a wallpaper, players were immediately amazed upon entering the map.

However, perhaps to increase the difficulty, extreme weather such as blizzards would occasionally appear on the map, severely affecting visibility, and Xiao Nai and his group encountered one as soon as they spawned. For a moment, even Xiao Nai had some difficulty discerning his direction.

"Baozi, be careful when you move. During the blizzard, character movement will be affected by the direction of the blizzard," Xiao Nai said to Baozi. Since Qiao Jingjing was not there, and Ye Xiu was teaching Mo Fan, Xiao Nai simply had Ye Xiu and Baozi switch places. He sat next to Mo Fan, and Baozi sat next to him, which would make it easier for them to communicate.

"Where do we go, Boss Xiao?" Baozi asked.

"Whatever."

After all, the socks spawn randomly, and there are no hints on the map, so players have to rely entirely on luck to find them. This means that even if Xiao Nai and his friends wanted to rob others, they couldn't get the socks. Most importantly, although a maximum of twenty pairs of socks can spawn in a game, only ten pairs will spawn at the beginning, and the remaining ten pairs will spawn over the next half hour, with both the time and location being random.

Of course, you'll still get a notification when the next ten pairs of socks refresh, but without showing their location. The remaining number of socks on the map will also be displayed. Once all twenty pairs of socks have been cut, the system will begin a 120-second countdown. If the ownership of the socks doesn't change within those 120 seconds, the round ends. In other words, a single game takes at least half an hour, and with three games a day, that's at least an hour and a half.

However, precisely because it's an event, and on such a joyous occasion, Glory wouldn't do anything to spoil the mood. Although this event is competitive, even if you don't manage to get a single pair of socks in three rounds, there's a guaranteed reward. While major guilds might not care about such rewards, they're still quite good items and equipment for ordinary players. Furthermore, in this instance, even if you're killed, you won't lose items or experience; it's essentially like entering a special arena.

However, the drop rate of socks is 100%, but players who get them shouldn't be discouraged, because their character will be fully revived after 20 seconds. However, as the number of deaths increases, the resurrection time will also increase by 20 seconds each time.

To increase the fun of the event, various items or potions will randomly spawn on the map, such as invisibility cloaks and sleds that greatly increase movement speed. However, there are no notifications for the spawning of these items, so it is purely based on the player's luck.

Since the activity is primarily combat-based, the map isn't very large. Otherwise, finding items would be incredibly difficult, and even finding other players would be a nightmare. Xiao Nai and Baozi's match had only just begun, so naturally, no one had picked up any socks yet. However, they had encountered quite a few players along the way. But since no socks had been picked up yet, and Xiao Nai didn't like to eliminate others for no reason, and the other players clearly had no intention of fighting them, no battles ensued.

As it turns out, without the lucky charm attribute of a big star, Xiao Nai's luck really wasn't that great. He and Baozi wandered around the map for a while, but didn't find a single sock. However, while Xiao Nai and his friends didn't find any, other players did.

System Announcement: Player Wooden Box has taken the lead and is the first to receive a pair of Christmas stockings.

"Wooden Box, Vice Captain, let's go take him down!" Baozi exclaimed excitedly as soon as he saw that they finally had a target. After all, in his opinion, finding someone was much easier than finding socks, not to mention that he was a warmonger. If Xiao Nai hadn't held him back earlier, he would have been ready to fight anyone he encountered.

"Okay, let's split up and search. Once we find something, let us know first, and don't rush to take action," Xiao Nai said.

"Understood!" Baozi said, moving the character with one hand while saluting Xiao Nai.

Xiao Nai nodded reassuredly at Baozi's expression, but as it turned out, trusting Baozi was impossible. They hadn't been apart long when Xiao Nai heard Baozi say, "Hey you, you're Muhe, right? I'm coming to find you now, so hurry up and hand over your socks!"     Xiao Nai: "..."

"Location." Xiao Nai sent a message to Baozi with a look of utter despair. He wanted Baozi to observe first and wait for him to arrive, but the guy actually greeted him directly.

Wait, say hello?! This guy doesn't think he's saying hello to the other person, does he?!
Xiao Nai turned to look at the character he was controlling, who was excitedly talking to the other while chasing after them. Hmm, that's definitely how Baozi interpreted it...

Xiao Nai ran towards the coordinates Baozi had sent him. Since they hadn't been apart for long, the distance between them wasn't far.

"Huh? There's actually another person here?" While Xiao Nai was still firing his cannon, he heard Baozi's voice coming from the side again.

Xiao Nai wasn't surprised by this, since it wasn't a solo activity. Players could team up, and solo players could also find teammates through the matchmaking system. So, Xiao Nai wasn't surprised at all that the other player had teammates.

"Be careful." Xiao Nai only gave a reminder. After all, Baozi's strength is now comparable to that of a professional. There are really not many players who can pose a threat to him. Even if he can't beat the crowd, he can still escape or hold out until he arrives.

Of course, these are normal situations, but can steamed buns be categorized as normal situations? The more Xiao Nai thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and the flying cannon in his hand directly transformed into a heavy firearm flying gun.

"Hmm?" Just as Xiao Nai began to use his heavy weapon skills to increase the speed of his flying guns, Baozi's questioning voice came over.

Hearing Baozi's voice, Xiao Nai asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"The other person has disappeared," Baozi said, puzzled.

"It should be an invisibility cloak prop. Pay attention, even though the opponent is invisible, footprints will still appear on the ground. You can rely on the footprints and sounds to determine the opponent's location," Xiao Nai said.

"Yes, Vice Captain. Understood. Wait, another one is coming from over here, and there's another one. Vice Captain, there's an ambush here; a lot of people jumped out at once," Baozi said.

"That's normal. Most players come in five-person teams for this event; it's rare to see two-person teams like ours. It's normal for the enemy to have reinforcements. Hang in there, I'll be there soon," Xiao Nai said. (End of Chapter)
