Chapter 124 Hu Yifei added fuel to the fire, let’s make another bet!
"It's okay, Mr. Li Mo, otherwise we can play ball and try it out."
"this......"
Pan Xiaoting invited him personally, and Li Mo felt a little embarrassed for a moment. It seemed bad not to agree, but it also seemed inappropriate to agree.
"I think it's great, Li Mo, don't ruin the reputation of our Love Apartment, go ahead, I support you"
At this time, Hu Yifei suddenly became excited and started to stir up trouble. She looked much more excited than the others. Hu Yifei found that Li Mo seemed to be able to win no matter what aspect he was in. He couldn't win in an argument or a fight. It was unreasonable for someone who studied philosophy to compare philosophy with others. Philosophy itself did not have the concept of winning or losing in a strict sense.
Now it is very difficult to see Li Mo fail in his hobbies. After all, his cooking level is comparable to that of a top-level chef. This is because they have never tasted the level of the top chefs of the time. Anyway, the dishes cooked by Li Mo are already the most delicious dishes.
His drawing skills are even better than those of the cartoonist Guan Gu. He is also an excellent host. He can sing, write songs, and play musical instruments. He is an all-rounder. Most importantly, he can make money and his brain is very useful.
"Hu Yifei, why do I feel like something is wrong with you?"
"I remember someone said that men are naturally more talented in sports than women, so it's normal for them to win."
"Really? Mr. Li Mo is so confident. I would like to ask for your advice."
"I......"
Listening to Pan Xiaoting's words, Li Mo was also confused. Li Mo vaguely remembered that this goddess was an absolute perfectionist and even felt that she could survive without a man. The main reason was that there was no man she liked. This was in line with Hu Yifei to some extent.
"Li Mo, if you can win this, I promise to spend a day with you as your girlfriend on Valentine's Day. I'll keep my word."
"Ok?"
Just when Li Mo was speechless, Hu Yifei suddenly came close to Li Mo's ear and whispered a promise in Li Mo's ear. When Li Mo heard this promise, his eyes lit up slightly. He didn't expect that Hu Yifei was so generous this time, even more generous than Li Mo expected.
After looking at Pan Xiaoting and then at Hu Yifei, Li Mo finally stood up.
"Then I hope Miss Pan will show some mercy and not embarrass me too much."
"Of course no problem, what ball do you play?"
"Of course, this is what Ms. Pan is best at. I also want to see Ms. Pan's wonderful performance in the competition. If I fail, I can also gain some experience. But I have only one request, that is, don't show mercy."
"Oh? Are you serious?"
After hearing what Li Mo said, Pan Xiaoting was slightly stunned. Not many people recognized her among the people she met outside, but most of them were humble. After knowing her competition results, Li Mo was the first person to take the initiative to tell her not to let her win.
"Of course, if a competitive game is not fair, it is not considered a competition. The credo that losing the game does not matter if you lose your life is unnecessary."
Li Mo's actions and words quickly made Pan Xiaoting look at him with new eyes, and her eyes were full of admiration.
(Ding, exchange for entry-level billiard master)
Although Li Mo said very well at this time, he had actually exchanged skills in secret. Originally, Li Mo thought that it would not be shameful to agree to lose, but Hu Yifei said that she would spend Valentine's Day with him as his girlfriend, and Li Mo became excited. After so much time of arguing with Hu Yifei, is there finally some result?
In this case, Li Mo would not let it go and exchanged the skills immediately, even though he did not have many points left.
Because of the difference in rules, the eight-ball game is actually the most popular in China, and there are relatively few nine-ball games. The so-called nine-ball game is more about the difference in rules. The nine colored balls are placed in a diamond shape, with ball No. 1 at the ball placement point and ball No. 9 in the middle of the diamond shape. The remaining balls can be placed anywhere, but they must be close together without any gaps.
Players must hit the balls in the order of the numbers on the table from small to large, that is, each shot must hit the ball with the smallest number. The right to kick off in the first round is determined by both sides hitting two main balls of the same specification at the bottom edge at the same time behind the kick-off line. The party whose ball bounces back and stops after hitting the bottom edge gets the right to kick off. Of course, this is in public competitions. Generally, in private competitions, anyone can kick off first, even rock-paper-scissors is acceptable.
Because it is not a point system, it is more about the control of the layout and the possession of the ball. The player who first hits the No. 9 ball into the pocket wins. If the smallest ball on the table indirectly hits the No. 9 ball and causes it to be pocketed, the player can also win.
At this time, Li Mo and Pan Xiaoting did not choose any other method, but used the most traditional rule of distance to define the attack order of the first and second hands.
Pan Xiaoting was not polite and hit the ball first. In fact, what was being tested was the ability to control the ball, especially the technical requirements were very high.
"Snapped"
Pan Xiaoting's action was very neat and clear. The white ball began to rebound immediately after hitting the bottom. It was already slowly slowing down when passing through the middle pocket, and finally stopped slowly at a position only about the distance of a white ball from the bottom.
Pan Xiaoting sighed slightly after seeing this scene. After all, this was not a professional competition venue, the table had some wear and tear, and the pool cue in her hand was not adjusted by herself. All these reasons combined made Pan Xiaoting not satisfied with her performance.
Li Mo followed closely behind. Although Pan Xiaoting was not very satisfied with herself, she was still very confident in the game. After all, she was a world-class billiards master. Even if she was not very satisfied with her performance, everyone in the Love Apartment who was watching still gasped.
After Li Mo picked up the pool cue, his entire playing posture changed. It was completely different from the posture he used to play with Lu Ziqiao, Guan Gu and others. When Pan Xiaoting saw this, her eyes slightly changed.
Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway. Pan Xiaoting can see from Li Mo's posture that Li Mo is not an amateur at all. It can even be said that he has definitely reached the professional level. Although the postures of men and women playing billiards are somewhat different, Pan Xiaoting has seen it many times and can naturally tell it at a glance.
