Chapter 70 - Skill Development 4

"I like to play this game!" Zhang Lei smiled.

A trace of complacency flashed within He Dong's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he had succeeded in his scheme.

They each took a stick, and the waiter came up to arrange the ball.

"Let's begin, little guy. I'll let you kick first!" He Dong laughed, but he was secretly pleased in his heart. An ordinary person rarely makes it into the first shot, even if they did. Moreover, if he didn't enter, the other side would be left with an unprepared ball. Thus, under normal circ.u.mstances, those who made a move afterwards would have an advantage.

Ji Feng frowned slightly, then relaxed. He was very clear that even though Zhang Lei's grades in school were not bad, it didn't mean that he was a good student. In reality, this guy frequently went to the billiard room or the video game room to fool around. If it wasn't for the fact that Ji Feng refused every single time, Zhang Lei would have definitely dragged him along with them.

Therefore, Zhang Lei's skills were actually quite good. At the very least, in the opinion of the former Ji Feng, Zhang Lei had not lost many times in the billiard city near the school. Even the owner of the billiard room was only as skilled as Zhang Lei.

Most importantly, when Zhang Lei was playing in the billiard room, he would often play this kind of game. As for the normal snooker, those who liked to play billiards usually didn't play it much, unless they were a few proper players.

Therefore, Ji Feng wasn't too worried about Zhang Lei.

"Pah!"

While Ji Feng was deep in thought, Zhang Lei had already started the ball. He had a very good grasp of his strength, and the angle was very accurate. The first shot was shot into a small ball at the corner of the triangular formation.

He Dong's brows couldn't help but twitch a few times. As the saying goes, an expert's first move and you'll know whether or not it's true. It was clear that Zhang Lei was very skilled.

However... So what? A trace of a disdainful smile flashed through He Dong's eyes. When he was in university, he was the vice president of the pool club, while the president was a semi-professional ball player. He Donghe had specifically learned from him before; aside from the president, he could almost kill anyone in the university.

"Pah!"

Zhang Lei was two goals ahead, and most importantly, his mother ball had stopped right behind the third ball, facing the entrance of the cave. There was no doubt that the third ball would definitely go in.

However, looking at the remaining ball on the table, Zhang Lei hesitated.

Due to the fact that Zhang Lei didn't use too much strength when he opened the ball, the fifteen b.a.l.l.s weren't completely open. Instead, they were crowded together in small groups. If Zhang Lei scored the third goal, then the rest of the ball wouldn't be easy to play.

When that time came, the mother ball wouldn't be able to stay in a good position and could only be given a chance for free.

"This ball is not easy to play!" He Dong lightly smiled and said with a slightly provocative tone, "However, three goals from the start is considered not bad. Those students in the university don't even have this kind of skill."

Zhang Lei slightly smiled, but still chose to throw the third ball with a small pattern on it in the end. Of course, he didn't use too much strength, so in the end the ball stopped at the other end of the case and stayed away.

This could be said to be a beautiful defense. The ball was not easy to play against. Anyone who had played billiards would know that because the point of impact of the bat was not easy to determine, it required a lot of skill.

At this moment, Zhang Lei displayed his cleverness. He lightly tapped the ball and it slowly slid. In the end, it actually squeezed into the rest of the ball. No matter which ball he played, it wouldn't be easy to play.

"Kid, you're a bit shameless, but that's alright. I like this kind of difficulty. Only when you enter it will you feel a sense of accomplishment!" On the other hand, He Dong laughed loudly as he picked up his baseball bat and moved to the side of the table.

"Pah!"

Against everyone's expectations, He Dong actually hit the mother ball hard enough to make it jump up, and it just so happened to hit a large patterned ball, going into the hole!

Zhang Lei instantly frowned. He Dong was very skilled!

Ji Feng could see that Zhang Lei's technique was not bad. He could be considered to be at a very high level among ordinary people. However, this He Dong was even more skilled. He couldn't even be considered an amateur.

Although Ji Feng didn't know much about the rules of these billiards, he had heard Zhang Lei say before that this ball was called a jump ball. Not only did it have to control the height of the ball, it also had to control the angle of strength, and so on.

Obviously, He Dong was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!

Xiao Yu Xuan's eyes lit up when she saw this from the side, and her gaze towards He Dong became even gentler. Ji Feng slightly frowned and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Pah!"

Next, He Dong displayed his exceptional skills. Although the b.a.l.l.s were all crowded together, it wasn't difficult for him at all. Whether it was jumping ball, straight pole, or back pole …. He actually hit a billiard ball like he was. .h.i.tting a flower. It looked really good.

Ji Feng had to admit that this ball was very good. Its movements were graceful and in position, and its posture was very beautiful. This was definitely an extremely good technique.

"Pah!"

When the black figure entered the cave, He Dong put the baseball bat on the table with a complacent expression. "Sorry, little fellow. I accidentally won!"

Zhang Lei's expression slightly darkened. Naturally, he wasn't someone who couldn't afford to lose. However, if it was anyone else who found out that they were being played like a monkey, they wouldn't be very happy.

If He Dong had explained from the beginning that his skills were at least at the semi-professional level, then Zhang Lei would only have the mindset of playing with him and come for this round. However, He Dong had purposely used provocation to get Zhang Lei to gamble with him, and this action had already collided with Zhang Lei's bottom line.

"Hehe …" Zhang Lei couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "It looks like I'm really enjoying the limelight. There's always someone better than others. These words are an eternally unchanging truth."

As he smiled, Zhang Lei extended his hand to take out a stack of 100 dollar bills from his pocket and casually pa.s.sed one to He Dong. It was only a hundred silver coins, so it was nothing to Zhang Lei.

"Hehe, aiya, I'm really embarra.s.sed to win your little money!" He Dong lightly smiled and intentionally said, "Kid, why don't we do this. Take this money back. Just pretend like the two of us didn't do the wager just now and didn't say anything."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Lei provocatively.

"Yeah, Zhang Lei, all of you are still students. We just said we were going to play, how could He Dong take your money!" Xiao Yu Xuan, on the other hand, was truly worried for Zhang Lei. A hundred dollars was not a small sum for a student.

"It's alright, I can afford to lose!" Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Don't ruin everyone's mood because of me. Besides, a man should keep his word!"

"Fine, in that case, do you dare to play a few more rounds?" He Dong laughed.

It was agitating again!

Ji Feng frowned. This He Dong was definitely not like how he appeared on the surface. It seemed that not only did he want to win Zhang Lei's money, he wanted to win even more!
