578: Master Sheng is Throwing

Master Sheng is Throwing

However, it was quite difficult to hit this black eight. Regardless of the pocket that was declared, it would be difficult to make this shot.2

Furthermore, there were many striped balls on the pool table. These balls blocked the path of the black eight.

This meant that it would be incredibly difficult for Jian Yiling to get the final ball in.

However, Jian Yiling pointed at a pocket. Then, she aimed and made a perfect swerve shot. She left absolutely no chance for Xing Wei and Han Mengyu.

Xing Wei opened his mouth in disbelief. He did not know what to say.

Wasn't this meant to be an opportunity for him to win against Master Sheng?

He didn't even get to play!

Xing Wei moved next to Zhai Yunsheng and started to complain: "Master Sheng… This isn't fair! She's obviously a professional! However, you told us that it's her first time playing!"

"It is," Zhai Yunsheng replied.

"How is that possible? She's so good at it already!"

"It's merely calculating the angle and the force of collision. She knows how to calculate and control these things."

"But… But… She's so steady with her hands. That steadiness and accuracy… That's not something that a new player can achieve."

"She has great control over her hands," Zhai Yunsheng replied. He helped Jian Yiling explain the situation.

She was a surgeon. Hand stability and control was a requirement for her profession.

And thus, Jian Yiling was incredibly good at controlling her hand strength.

Although she only spent a little time learning the game, she could still completely dominate Xing Wei and other casual players.

Xing Wei swallowed his saliva. He was a bit skeptical of Zhai Yunsheng's words.

Then, he glanced at Han Mengyu.

Upon seeing this, Han Mengyu patted Xing Wei on the shoulder. He was trying to comfort his friend.

As Jian Yiling pocketed the final ball, she had finished the entire game by herself.

Ahhh, they shouldn't have chosen to play with the easy rules! That was a complete mistake!

For the second match, Xing Wei strongly requested for Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling to play a game of snooker.

Zhai Yunsheng readily agreed.

Then, Han Mengyu realized something. He dragged Xing Wei to the side and said: "What sort of suggestion was that? Are you not afraid that they will argue after this game?"

The game snooker relied on the players skills. Some players would intentionally set up obstacles for the other person. This would cause the other player great difficulty.

This wasn't a game that couples played… Did they think that their relationship was going too well? Or did they believe that the quality of their keyboards [1]were too good?

Xing Wei paused for a moment. Then he said: "Ahhh, I didn't think about that. I just wanted to know who is better at the game."

"Be careful. Master Sheng might seek his revenge."

"No way… I just suggested it! Master Sheng agreed to it himself."

"Well, I wish you the best of luck," Han Mengyu said with a smile before he returned to Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.

"Hey! Excuse me…" Xing Wei started. However, Han Mengyu left before he could finish speaking.

Xing Wei gritted his teeth. He silently cursed at Han Mengyu in his heart. Didn't he get destroyed by Jian Yiling as well? Why was he just chilling by the side?

On the other hand, Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling started their match already.

However, the crowd of onlookers were stunned.

It wasn't because the match was exciting. Rather, it was because Zhai Yunsheng was intentionally throwing[2]!

Typically, people set up obstacles in snooker.

However, Zhai Yunsheng cleared the path for Jian Yiling! It was as though he was worried that she would miss.

Even though Zhai Yunsheng could easily pocket a few balls, he instead aimed at a cluster of balls. He broke apart Jian Yiling's balls that were clustered together.

Was this still Master Sheng?! He was acting way too differently!

[1] Translator Note: Often in China, there is a joke about girlfriends telling their boyfriends to kneel on keyboards as a punishment.

[2] Translator Note: To "throw" in a game is to intentionally play horribly or to make actions against your own team (if in a team game), in the hopes of either making it more difficult for your team to win, or to try to make your team lose.

In this situation, Zhai Yunsheng was intentionally helping Jian Yiling.
