Chapter 581: Ambiguous Gambling, Controlling Pan Xiaoting

That night.

Broadway Club, No. 738 Dingxi Road, Changning District, Haikou City.

It is worth mentioning that the Baiwei Billiards Club was the first professional nine-ball club in Shanghai at that time.

The lights in a VIP single-room billiard room on the third floor are brightly lit, and the silence is occasionally broken by the crisp sound of balls hitting each other.

Pan Xiaoting was wearing a black one-shoulder tight miniskirt, with her long hair casually draped. She stood upright in front of the pool table, holding a professional pool cue in her hand. Her eyes were focused and ardent, as if the green pool table in front of her was her battlefield.

At this time, a target ball is quietly resting on the edge of the table. The distribution of the surrounding colored balls seems flawless, but there is a mystery hidden.

Pan Xiaoting leaned down slightly, her body and the club forming a perfect arc. Her right hand gently held the club, and her fingers, like a nimble dancer, delicately adjusted the strength and angle of her grip.

Pan Xiaoting's eyes shuttled back and forth between the cue ball and the target ball, as if she was having a silent conversation, calculating the best hitting route.

With a steady and powerful exhalation, Pan Xiaoting hit the ball handsomely.

The cue in Pan Xiaoting's hand was like a black lightning, hitting the cue ball quickly and accurately, and the cue ball rushed forward with a strong spin.

After hitting the target ball, the cue ball quickly retracted as if by magic, while the target ball fell steadily into the pocket.

Pan Xiaoting performed this beautiful pull-up move so smoothly that it was a feast for the eyes.

Throughout the whole process, the movement of the cue ball, the control of force and the use of the pulling rod technique were all demonstrated vividly and perfectly.

Zheng Sizhi, the founder of the Taiwan Professional Billiards Association (CPBA), who was standing nearby, had a look of praise and amazement in his eyes.

Zheng Sizhi nodded slightly, with a pleased smile on his face: "Xiaoting, this shot was so beautiful! Whether it is the control of strength or the grasp of the timing of the pull, it is just right."

"Your understanding and control of nine-ball are among the best among professional female billiard players."

Pan Xiaoting, who had just completed a beautiful shot, had a confident smile on her face.

While wiping the powder on the tip of the cue, Pan Xiaoting modestly replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Zheng. I will continue to work hard."

Zheng Sizhi smiled and said, "Xiaoting, with your talent and hard work, your future is definitely limitless!"

Pan Xiaoting raised her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with intelligence and a humble smile on her lips.

"Teacher Zheng, I can make the progress I have now, all thanks to your careful guidance. You have opened up new ideas for me to play billiards. I have you to guide me in playing billiards. How can my billiards skills not improve quickly?"

Pan Xiaoting's eyes were full of respect and gratitude for Mr. Zheng Sizhi.

Zheng Sizhi smiled after hearing this, then took a few steps forward, picked up the cue, pointed to the point where he had hit the ball, and said seriously: "In this shot just now, you used the rotation of the cue ball to cleverly avoid the interference of other colored balls, and finally you were able to accurately control the movement of the cue ball. It was a beautiful shot."

“However, some details can be improved.”

"For example, when you're hitting the ball, you can extend your arms more fully, which allows the power to be transferred more smoothly."

Pan Xiaoting listened carefully to Zheng Sizhi's instructions and nodded from time to time to show her understanding.

Pan Xiaoting's eyes are full of desire for billiards knowledge and pursuit of improvement in her skills.

Afterwards, Pan Xiaoting stood in front of the table again and adjusted her posture and hitting method according to Zheng Sizhi's suggestions.

It was another wonderful shot, the cue ball drew a beautiful arc on the table, accurately hitting the target ball and sending it into the pocket.

This time, Pan Xiaoting's movements were smoother and more natural, and her use of strength was more handy.

Zheng Sizhi couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and praised her, "Xiaoting, you are making great progress! With this state and learning ability, you will definitely have a bright future in the field of billiards."

"Teacher Zheng, didn't you arrange a sparring partner for me today?"

"Xiao Ting, you are almost unbeatable in the entire Xiaguo billiards world. In the mere Haihai billiards world, where else can you find someone who can be your sparring partner?"

As soon as Zheng Sizhi finished speaking, he heard someone behind him say, "The top sparring partner is here."

Pan Xiaoting looked back when she heard the voice and saw the handsome Lin Lang walking into the VIP single billiard room in a casual manner with a set of professional billiard cues.

After seeing Lin Lang's unexpected appearance, Pan Xiaoting's face showed a surprised smile and she greeted him, "Hey, Brother Lang, why are you here?"

"Didn't you accompany Sister Xueman to visit the Bund Seaview Villa after returning from fishing?"

Lin Lang naturally couldn't answer. He left a clone to accompany Mu Xuelan for supper, and his main body ran here to flirt with Pan Xiaoting.

So, Lin Lang lied, "I just thought that there was no billiards expert in the entire Haihai area who could serve as your sparring partner, so I volunteered to be your sparring partner."

Pan Xiaoting covered her mouth and laughed, "Ah? Brother Lang, are you sure your amateur billiards level is good enough to be my sparring partner?"

Lin Lang replied proudly, "Xiao Ting, you are underestimating me. Don't forget, we still have a bet."

After hearing this, Pan Xiaoting's face turned slightly red.

When she thought of the bet between her and Lin Lang, that if Lin Lang beat her in nine-ball, she would officially become Lin Lang's underground girlfriend, she felt a little excited, but also inexplicably conflicted and nervous.

Pan Xiaoting didn't have time to think about it, and she saw Zheng Sizhi looking Lin Lang up and down, and then suddenly said: "Hey, isn't this the triple fighting champion 'Shanghai King' Lin Lang who has been popular in the boxing world recently!"

"Mr. Lin, are you also quite accomplished in playing billiards?"

Lin Lang replied in a catchphrase: "I am not talented, I know a little bit about everything, just a little bit."

After hearing this, Zheng Sizhi still had doubts in his heart. After all, Pan Xiaoting's skills are among the top among domestic female professional players.

"Mr. Lin, Xiaoting's current billiard skills are not that of an ordinary billiard player. She can't easily practice with him. Are you sure?"

Lin Lang raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile, "How do you know if you don't try?"

Pan Xiaoting introduced: "Brother Lang, this is Mr. Zheng Sizhi, the founder of the Taiwan Billiards Association, and he is my training coach for the 'Jin Bolang' Cup Xiaguo Women's Nine-Ball Ranking Tournament."

Lin Lang politely shook hands with Zheng Sizhi and said, "Hello, Mr. Zheng, nice to meet you!"

"Hello Mr. Lin, I've heard a lot about you!" Zheng Sizhi shook hands with Lin Lang enthusiastically.

Pan Xiaoting quickly arranged the ball and said tauntingly, "Brother Lang, you won't cry if you lose to me, right?"

Lin Lang looked at the beautiful Pan Xiaoting and replied with a gentle smile: "You have to comfort me if I cry because I lose the game, and you are not allowed to regret it if I win the bet."

Pan Xiaoting raised her little face playfully, "Brother Lang, as long as you have the ability to beat me on the billiard table, I will abide by the bet and never regret it."

"Good! I admire women like you who keep their words the most."

As Lin Lang spoke, he leaned forward slightly, and reached his slender fingers into the pocket to take out the club. He slowly pulled out the two sections of the club, and with a slight turn of his wrist, he accurately connected the two sections of the club together, and then slowly tightened them.

With every rotation, you can seem to hear the slight sound of the clubs fitting together.

After tightening the club, Lin Lang swung it gently, feeling the weight and balance of the club. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile of determination to win.

Pan Xiaoting couldn't help but laugh and joked, "Brother Lang, your cue is still brand new. It looks like you haven't used it once. I don't think you are a billiards expert!"

Zheng Sizhi, who was standing nearby, said, "Mr. Lin seems very confident. Xiaoting, don't underestimate the enemy."

After hearing this, Pan Xiaoting joked: "Brother Lang's confidence comes from the Chinese currency in his bank account, not necessarily his football skills. I think he is just mysteriously confident."

"Hey……"

"Xiaoting, if you say that, then I won't let you play ball."

Lin Lang carefully rubbed the powder onto the leather tip of the club. The powder gently rubbed on the leather tip, making a subtle and even rustling sound, as if it was also accompanying this wonderful training match.

"Brother Lang, are you just joking or are you serious?"

"You are an amateur player challenging me, the professional women's nine-ball champion. It's good enough that I don't let you play. You still want me to play?"

Lin Lang pretended to be profound and replied: "Xiao Ting, there is a saying that there are always people better than you. It's not shameful to lose to your brother."

Pan Xiaoting suppressed her disdainful smile and made a gesture of invitation, "Brother Lang, you can tee off."

"it is good."

Lin Lang did not refuse. She walked to the other side of the table and gently weighed the cue in her hand. Her eyes instantly became sharp and focused, completely eliminating the distraction she had just shown.

Lin Lang leaned down gracefully and adjusted his posture skillfully. His cue was as fast as lightning. With a "bang", the cue ball hit the pile of balls accurately with just the right force and rotation. The pile of balls exploded perfectly, and ball No. 1 fell into the pocket neatly.

Pan Xiaoting stood aside holding the golf club, with a faint smile on her lips. At this moment, she had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, and half-jokingly teased: "Not bad, Brother Lang, you are so powerful that you can make the No. 1 ball go in."

Lin Lang's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile.

"Yes, maybe it's my luck. Now don't blink, I'm going to start playing ball No. 2."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Lang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the whole person seemed to have entered an extreme state. He stood beside the table, leaning forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the line between ball No. 2 and the cue ball.

Lin Lang held the cue firmly in his right hand and shook his wrist lightly, adding just the right amount of rotation to the cue. This is the "jamming" style of play in billiards.

With a crisp impact sound, the cue ball rushed towards ball No. 2 with a strong side spin, drawing a beautiful arc on the table.

Ball No. 2 rolled perfectly into the pocket after being hit by the cue ball.

Lin Lang's movements were smooth and natural, and the strength of this strike was controlled accurately. The cue ball seemed to be given a soul by him, and his positioning was exquisite.

Pan Xiaoting's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, Brother Lang, your shot is quite good!"

Lin Lang smiled but said nothing. He walked around to the other side of the table with the cue in hand and began to hit ball No. 3 in a casual and unrestrained manner.

Zheng Sizhi, who originally had a scrutinizing look in his eyes, now had a frothy expression on his face, replaced by one full of surprise.

Zheng Sizhi stared closely at Lin Lang's smooth strokes and couldn't help but whisper, "Xiaoting, your friend's skills are so superb, he doesn't look like an amateur player."

As soon as Zheng Sizhi finished speaking, he heard the crisp sound of the billiard ball colliding with the pocket, and the number 3 ball was successfully hit into the pocket by Lin Lang.

Pan Xiaoting's eyes were also full of surprise and joy. She didn't expect Lin Lang's ball skills to be so outrageous.

Pan Xiaoting, who was a little slow to realize what was going on, couldn't help but say weakly, "Brother Lang, your billiards skills don't look like those of an amateur. Why do I feel like you're just playing dumb with me?!"

Lin Lang naturally couldn't tell Pan Xiaoting that he had signed in to the system before and obtained the maximum level [Billiards Master] skill, which gave him the pinnacle skill of clearing the table with one shot.

Whether it is Chinese eight-ball, American eight-ball, nine-ball, or snooker, Lin Lang is ranked number one in the world with invincible skills.
