Arknights, please stop going crazy over the streamer's operators.

[Patriot Phase 1, died at age two??]

[Damn it, if only she were a rapid-fire sniper, at least I'd feel like it's just me who's not good enough... Now that she's a special forces operative, it makes me feel deeply frustrated about being a rapid-fire sniper.]

Not only the comments section, but even Tian Sheng couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

This feeling isn't just about numerical frustration.

how to say……

To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy...

It's like having classmates in the same major; everyone learns the same things.

However, due to employment issues, they chose different paths, resulting in vastly different final outcomes.

Everyone is using the same basic quick-sniper setup, so why is there such a big difference when you switch to a different class?

Even as a special operations operator, Ella can be deployed on the ground, which further widens the gap between her and traditional speed snipers.

Being able to deploy on the ground means greater possibilities and diversity in site selection, and the output location doesn't always have to be so rigid and monotonous.

After all, it can be really hard to find a good high ground position to buff a fast sniper.

Not to mention, as a trap master, Ella can also use Thunder Mine, which has built-in slowing and vulnerability effects, to ambush herself.

What Tian Sheng couldn't accept wasn't the sniper Ella.

It wasn't a rapid-fire shooter, but a special trap master, Ella!

A trap master who embodies all the characteristics of a fast shooter, surpassing the fast shooter archetype in almost every aspect.

This is what Tiansheng finds most unacceptable.

"I wish... she was the speedster."

Tian Sheng's expression was somewhat bitter.

Especially when she saw that Ella's turning speed wasn't slow either, she remained silent, propping her chin on her hand, unsure of what to say.

at this time.

Ella on the field has emptied her magazine and manually turned off her skill.

Patriots have also entered the second phase.

However, the Patriot was still two squares away from reaching his first stop.

Meanwhile, thunderous landmines and mines were already waiting for the Patriots' arrival at the first stopping point.

"It has ended."

Tian Sheng said in a low voice.

This exhibition match was effectively over after the Patriots were eliminated in the first stage.

Patriots could even eat raw the 2100-armored troops in their marching posture.

If the second phase is handled properly, this situation is one that cannot be lost no matter what.

On screen, the resurrected Patriot roars, then looks around in bewilderment, finding no high ground for him to attack.

Helplessly, with their already limited time of invincibility, they could only walk step by step toward despair.

[It's over. A cruel live stream shattered my dream of becoming a speed shooter.]

[Three years as a rapid-fire shooter, a lifetime of passion for sniping!]

[Are you a rapid-fire shooter? I think I am!]

[Dog Maple's crimes are heinous; he's completely demoralized the speed-shooter brothers.]

[A new era swordsman, a new era template, a new era rapid-fire shooter, what's next in the new era?]

[Is this Ella really a super-sized cup? Then the guy in our group who came in second must be at least a large cup, right?]

The discussion was accompanied by comments on the screen.

Just as Tian Sheng had predicted, the exhibition match finally came to an end.

Amid applause, Ella returned to her seat.

"Thank you... to Ella for the wonderful performance. Captain Wanfeng and I discussed the fact that she is a trap master, and we also hope to bring some fun to everyone."

Although most people didn't have much of an opinion about Ella participating in the competition as a trap master.

However, as the organizer, Tiansheng also needs to make its stance clear to avoid being targeted by others behind its back.

"Ella's score will still be recorded, but it will not be included in the contestant rankings. Let's give a round of applause to the next contestant!"

After introducing the program, Tian Sheng put down the microphone and turned off the live broadcast microphone.

He whispered to Li Ji beside him, "This... is quite a surprise indeed."

She gave a self-deprecating laugh. "What is this, a new-era rapid-fire shooter? A trap master... that's really unexpected."

Li Ji smiled, turned off his microphone as well, and apologized quietly:

"I'm sorry for letting a trap master participate in the competition without telling you, and now I have to ask you to explain... Here's what we'll do: if you need any help next time, feel free to contact me anytime."

But as soon as he finished apologizing, he changed the subject and returned to the previous topic.

"But if you're talking about surprises, I probably have quite a few more. At least I have another trap master and a maverick here, which seem to... fulfill your fantasies about a speedster."

"It's alright, this has broadened my horizons."

After hearing Li Ji's words, Tian Sheng first waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to thank him.

Then, looking slightly annoyed, she said to Li Ji, "But really, can't your Special Forces team use some normal sniper operators?"

Tian Sheng felt that his life as a rapid-fire shooter was somewhat surreal.

One isn't enough, so you have another trap master pretending to be a rapid shooter, right?

wrong……

It seems like these rapid-fire shooters are the ones who look like imposters...

Congratulations to the speed shooter for winning second place in the speed shooter imitation contest!

"Haha, I do have a normal rapid-fire sniper... Exusiai, remember this name. When you can find her online, that's when I'll show you what a true rapid-fire sniper looks like."

"I'll be looking forward to that day."

……

The competition quickly came to an end.

Although Ella was disqualified from the competition due to issues with her operator class.

But her grades are still recorded in the notebook.

But this record plunged many fast shooters, whose emotions had just calmed down, into silence once again.

Because in both matches, Ella's score was overwhelmingly first.

Even in these two matches, she demonstrated something that other rapid-fire operators, and even many other sniper operators of different templates, could not do.

Whether it's killing Mephisto with a single skill combo or taking down Patriot in two phases with three landmines.

This will ensure that Ella remains a topic of discussion for a long time to come.

Li Ji fulfilled his promise and distributed the prize money to the contestants.

Even the second-place player, Du Kang, cheerfully asked Li Ji if he, as the second-place player, could reach the level of a "super cup".

However, Li Ji opened Excel on his phone and calculated Du Kang's data right in front of him.

However, Li Ji still gave Du Kang some face in front of many people.

They were his fans, after all. Should Li Ji address his fans as "medium cup" to their faces?

That's still a bit impolite.

So, Li silently calculated a set of data on Ella and returned it to Du Kang.

At the same time, he patted Du Kang on the shoulder and replied with high emotional intelligence:

"Ella is at the super cup level. Compare yourself to her and see where you are. If you don't know, you can ask in the group."

If you ask why I have high emotional intelligence...

That's because of those people in the group, who shout "medium cup!" to everyone they meet!

Just as Li Ji finished packing up and was about to log off...

Tian Sheng sent him a private message.

Tian Sheng: [I just said I didn't need your help, but there's something urgent I really need your help with. Are you free now?]

Wanfeng: [I do have some free time, what's up?]

Tian Sheng: [Time is of the essence, let's meet at the entrance of the villa area first, and talk as we walk.]

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Lights Illuminating the Night Sky

At the entrance of the Wanghai Villa District.
