Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Chapter 888 More Than One

When the audience saw the target pointed at by the sword, they cheered. After all, this was Tiny Herb's territory, and the fans naturally supported their own players, not to mention that their players had just made such a brilliant play.

For a moment, the cheers and shouts of Tiny Herb fans at the scene were all helping Liu Xiaobie provoke Huang Shaotian.

But Huang Shaotian didn't seem to care about the scene, and didn't even look at the camera. It was only when his teammate nudged him and pointed in the direction of the camera that Huang Shaotian seemed to notice. He smiled at the camera and waved.

The audience was momentarily stunned; it felt like they'd punched a pillow. All their enthusiastic shouting had been for nothing, and this guy looked completely clueless. Had he missed the previous matches?

Then, Huang Shaotian, who was in the shot, seemed to see that the camera hadn't moved away from him, and showed a confused expression again. Finally, his teammate came over to him and said something, and then Huang Shaotian looked like he understood. He then continued to nod and smile at the camera.

Seeing this, the director couldn't keep the camera focused on Huang Shaotian and eventually had to move the camera away.

As soon as the camera moved away from Huang Shaotian, Huang Shaotian immediately made two international friendship gestures towards Liu Xiaobie.

The director noticed this change instantly and immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Go back and cut the camera back to Huang Shaotian!"

When the camera focused on Huang Shaotian again, he had already resumed his previous smiling expression.

"That old fox!" the director said dejectedly.

He was, after all, a member of Tiny Herb, and making those kinds of gestures during a live stream would definitely get him punished by the league. But given the current situation, they couldn't keep pressing him.

The match ended, both players left the court, and the third Rookie Challenge began.

The next match was another exhibition game. Even Qiao Jingjing could easily see through their intentions. To be honest, this kind of game was boring for her right now, but since it was her job to commentate, she had to do a good job and guide the audience's emotions.

Another game began, but this one lacked any truly spectacular moments. In reality, this is the norm for All-Star games; the exceptions are those as packed with content as last season's.

Overall, the audience at the scene was quite satisfied, but the media broadcasting the event were somewhat disappointed. They had all learned of Huang Shaotian's middle finger incident, and if that had been filmed, it would have provided plenty of material for discussion.

However, the Rising Stars Challenge soon became the subject of another topic for these reporters.

Zhao Yuzhe from the Howling Team challenged Chu Yunxiu from the Misty Rain Team. When asked why he was challenging his opponent, he replied, "I want to become the number one elemental mage in Glory!"

"Young people these days are really spirited," Xiao Nai remarked with some emotion.

Upon hearing Xiao Nai's words, Ye Xiu and the others looked at him with strange expressions. Seriously, is it really appropriate for someone who hasn't even debuted yet to say something like that? But if you argue with Xiao Nai, Blue Rain, Tyranny, and Tiny Herb—except for their captains and vice-captains—have all been utterly defeated by him and have to call him "senior," including their main players. Given the status of these top teams within the league, if they call him "senior," other professional players really can't call Xiao Nai a junior.

This led to a very strange phenomenon: Xiao Nai, who hadn't even debuted yet, inexplicably became a senior figure.

Although Zhao Yuzhe's words weren't as flamboyant as Tang Hao's underdog victory at last season's All-Star game, the core meaning was the same.

"What ambition!" the host exclaimed excitedly.

Then the host raised his voice and shouted, "Next, please welcome Captain Chu Yunxiu of the Misty Rain Team to the stage!"

Amidst the applause of the audience, the commentator quickly continued, "I think everyone should remember Tang Hao, also a second-year player, who shouted 'Underdog victory' during last season's All-Star Rookie Challenge, shocking the audience and securing a dominant win. Now he's known as the number one rogue in Glory. This summer, he became the core player of the Howling Team. Our Zhao Yuzhe also comes from the Howling Team and is Tang Hao's teammate. Could his choice today be influenced by Tang Hao last year? Zhao Yuzhe not only won the Best Rookie title last year, but his performance on the field this year has also been outstanding. He has now firmly established himself as a key player for Howling. He can be considered a very strong player."

As the commentator spoke, Chu Yunxiu had already arrived on stage. Among Glory's professional players, female players are already few and far between, and only Chu Yunxiu and Su Mucheng are qualified for the All-Star team. Because of Excellent Era's elimination, Su Mucheng didn't have anyone selected this season. Therefore, this year's All-Star team only has Chu Yunxiu as the sole female player.

As a member of the golden generation and the team's captain for many years, Chu Yunxiu naturally wouldn't panic in such a situation. On the contrary, Chu Yunxiu was quite calm, showing no unusual emotion in response to Zhao Yuzhe's words.

After going on stage, she briefly shook hands with Zhao Yuzhe and calmly answered the host's questions. Even though the host was trying to escalate the conflict between the two with ill intentions, Chu Yunxiu deftly defused it all.

It's so depressing!

This was the only thought in the minds of everyone involved in the live broadcast, the broadcasting, and the director. There was no way around it; compared to last season's All-Star event, this season's All-Star event just seemed too bland.

But they also knew that it was normal for the challenge to be so uneventful. In fact, Liu Xiaobie's sword strike had already made this year's Rookie Challenge a very interesting one, second only to last year's challenge.

"The two of you, please go to the battle room and get ready. Our match is about to begin," the host said.

Just like the previous match, both sides used their professional accounts in this game.

As the map refreshed, Zhao Yuzhe's Xiaoling Fire and Chu Yunxiu's Fengcheng Misty Rain appeared on the left and right sides of the map, respectively.

"As the only female player in this All-Star game, Chu Yunxiu didn't seem to show any particular emotion when she was chosen by her juniors," said the commentator next to Qiao Jingjing.

"That's normal. Even in a playoff game, Sister Yunxiu can maintain her composure. Facing a junior like her won't affect her at all," Qiao Jingjing said. After all, she knew Chu Yunxiu through Su Mucheng. The three girls even had their own little group chat… well… more than one… (End of Chapter)
