Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"Why do you say that? If we meet Excellent Era later, we'll have more time to train on the weaknesses and gaps we've identified before, right?" Qiao Jingjing asked.

“Actually, your training has reached a bottleneck, and there won’t be any significant improvement in the short term. And because of this event, the attribute gap between our characters and Excellent Era has been minimized. Any later will only give Excellent Era more time to research and develop their own equipment,” Xiao Nai said with some helplessness.

Unfortunately, Team Happy's self-made equipment is currently mainly relying on Xiao Nai. Ye Xiu can only provide support in this area. Although Wei Chen also has the ability to self-make equipment, it's mainly for warlocks. Therefore, the pressure of self-making equipment for the entire Team Happy now rests on Xiao Nai's shoulders. But even with Umbrella Brother's talent, Xiao Nai is ultimately just one person. The reason he was able to equip his teammates so quickly before was because he had already been planning and creating it for a long time.

However, now that the Glory Level cap has been raised, even if Xiao Nai has a plan to continue strengthening his character, all the new materials and rare attributes require him to start researching from scratch.

At least until the finals, Xiao Nai's team is not confident that they can create another piece of self-made equipment that can be used on the field.

This time, it was clear that the members of Team Happy had also thought of this, and for a moment they were all somewhat helpless.

"That's why I've been urging Lao Wei and his team to improve their skill points. Right now, the only way to improve before the finals is through skill points. This is also our only chance to close the gap with them," Xiao Nai said.

Wei Chen and Zhang Jiale were well aware of this, which is why they've been working overtime lately, leading Wei Chen's former underlings and various alt accounts to run quests everywhere. Fortunately, with their previous experience, they've found quite a few quests that reward skill points, and the decreasing number of such quests proves they're discovering a wider range of them. Once they've found them all, they'll look at the penalty conditions, and then have Luo Ji build a mathematical model to maximize the trigger probability.

Luo Ji's calculations also take time, and everyone needs to familiarize themselves with the characters after upgrading their skill points, so Wei Chen and the others are under a lot of pressure right now. Even Ye Xiu has been pulled over to help.

Upon hearing Xiao Nai's words, Ye Xiu nodded in support: "Xiao Nai is right, because the head of Excellent Era's self-made equipment R&D department is Guan Rongfei!"

After all, as the former captain of Excellent Era, he knew Excellent Era's research capabilities best.

"Who is Guan Rongfei?" Baozi asked curiously.

"He is the absolute core of Excellent Era's technical department. He is not only a fanatical enthusiast of Glory, but also a research fanatic who makes his own equipment. At the same time, he is a guy with terrifying talent in this area, who can even be compared with Xiao Nai," Ye Xiu said.

Most of the characters in Excellent Era are created by him, so it's safe to say that with him around, Excellent Era will never have to worry about crafting level 75 equipment.

Moreover, Ye Xiu also knew that the other party had already prepared various equipment upgrade plans in preparation for this level increase.

Hearing Ye Xiu's words, the Happy team's initial excitement over the large amount of materials and equipment they had acquired from the event instantly cooled down. Indeed, the final match hadn't even begun yet, and they couldn't afford to relax.

Xiao Nai and his team weren't the only ones to reap huge benefits from this event; other professional guilds also leveraged their massive memberships to farm vast amounts of materials and equipment. Naturally, the strongest teams within the alliance benefited the most.

Because of Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu's presence this time, all the top guilds, like them, had to resort to a numbers-based strategy. This greatly narrowed the gap in final profits between them. For teams with already good equipment, the options for upgrading were very limited, with the top tier seeing almost no upgrades. However, weaker teams with less-than-ideal equipment to begin with managed to acquire a significant amount of new gear due to the event.

To take a closer look, let's take the Yi Zhan team, which has the closest cooperation with Xiao Nai and his team, as an example. Now that they are a professional team, their characters rarely appear in online games, but thanks to the guild's large number of members, their profits from this event are still quite considerable.

Having been frustrated by equipment issues for so long, the Yi Zhan team immediately changed into suitable gear. The new equipment greatly boosted their morale, and in this round of matches, they all performed exceptionally well, achieving an incredible 10-0 victory over their opponents!

This can be said to be the most enjoyable match that the Yi Zhan team has played since their debut, and it has great milestone significance. Of course, such a happy thing should be shared with someone, and the first people they thought of were naturally Xiao Nai and his friends.

"Did you guys watch our match today?!" Lou Guanning asked excitedly.

"Haven't watched it yet, how did they play?" Yi Zhan's analysis wasn't a high priority for Happy, and the TV broadcast wouldn't show a weak team like Yi Zhan, so Xiao Nai and the others naturally hadn't watched it yet.

"Complete victory!!!" Lu Guanning exclaimed excitedly. Even a second-generation rich kid who had been working in the business world couldn't fully express his excitement.

"Amazing." Xiao Nai exclaimed sincerely. You have to know that it is not easy to achieve a complete victory in the professional league. Even if it is a weak team against a powerhouse, it is ultimately just a title. In the professional league, where are there two teams with such a huge difference in strength?

There are many factors that contribute to the victory of a match. Even top-level players can be out of form or get defeated due to a mistake. There are countless examples of this in the professional league.

A score of 10-0 doesn't necessarily mean the team is that strong, but it does prove that the players are in great form and playing exceptionally well!

"Hahaha, this match was so much fun!"

Lou Guanning is now very professional. He knows very well that a complete victory in one game cannot turn their team around, but it is a huge boost to their morale!
"Keep up the good work and maintain your current form," Xiao Nai said.

"Keep up the good work, and you'll definitely make others look at you differently," Ye Xiu said.

Upon seeing this news, Qiao Jingjing remarked with some emotion, "Speaking of which, Yi Zhan and his team initially made quite a splash with their publicity, which led to players having very high expectations of them. As a result, their performance in the past caused their team to start strong but then decline. Now they've finally gotten their revenge."

Just as Qiao Jingjing was sighing, Lou Guanning sent another message: "By the way, Master, isn't this year's All-Star Game in our B City?"

"Yes, I know. Jingjing just came back from your place a couple of days ago," Xiao Nai said.

"Yes, that's the thing. Since Teacher Qiao is coming, why don't you guys come along too?" Lou Guanning said.

Seeing the invitation from Luo Guanning, I was immediately reminded of the plot of this year's All-Star Game. I looked at Zhang Jiale, who was running around the map with his arm around Wei Chen, and then I thought of the former number one Glory Berserker. How could he miss such a fun battleground?
Xiao Nai smiled maliciously: "Go, we must go, all of us must go!" (End of Chapter)
