From Sidekick to Bigshot

Xing Wei felt as though Zhai Yunsheng took advantage of his suggestion.

And thus, he would demand for Zhai Yunsheng to pay for one of his meals in the future.

After Zhai Yunsheng briefly explained the game to her, Jian Yiling picked up the cue stick. She was ready to play.

Xing Wei glanced at Jian Yiling before he whispered to Han Mengyu: “Do you think we have a chance to win against Master Sheng this time?”

“Hm… Maybe we really do have a chance,” Han Mengyu replied. However, he wasn’t too certain about this.

In the past, they never won against Zhai Yunsheng. This was the case when they were racing.

This was also the case when they played billiards.

“Who is starting the game?” Xing Wei asked.

“Let the new girl start,” Han Mengyu answered. He wanted to let her have a turn. It would be difficult for her to hit the billiards after the game started. Then, Han Mengyu glanced at Zhai Yunsheng: “Is this okay?”

“Mhmm,” Zhai Yunsheng replied.

And thus, Jian Yiling started the game.

For people who played billiards for the first time, it was easy to do strange things with the cue stick. Something strange and hilarious could happen at any moment.

Xing Wei, Han Mengyu and the circle of onlookers were mentally preparing themselves.

Jian Yiling walked up to the billiard desk. She got into position to hit the billiard.

Although she did not spend much time learning how to play, Jian Yiling’s positioning was already quite good.

“Ping——”

The cue stick hit the white ball. The white ball knocked into the other balls and scattered them in different directions.

Two of the solid balls fell into a pocket.

This was quite a good start.

However, this did not mean much. It was likely to just be a coincidence.

Although the girl looked soft and delicate, she hit the white ball with a lot of force.

This point by itself was already worthy of praise.

As the first ball that entered a pocket was solid, Jian Yiling aimed at another solid ball.

However, this time, Jian Yiling was aiming at a very strange angle.

The angle she was going for was a bit too far off.

It seemed impossible to pocket the ball in this way.

And thus, everyone assumed that Jian Yiling’s aim was completely off. There was no way that she could pull this off.

In fact, maybe she should aim for another ball.

Xing Wei turned around and whispered into Han Mengyu’s ear: “Should we tell Master Sheng to guide her? Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to play the game at all.”

“Well if that happens, your plans to win against Master Sheng will go down the drain,” Han Mengyu replied.

Master Sheng could finish the entire game by himself. They would only have a chance to play if he missed.

“Hmm, that shouldn’t be the case. She’s completely new to this game. It wouldn’t matter if she managed to get a few balls in,” Xing Wei replied. He wasn’t ready to be petty and narrow-minded.

While the two of them were talking, Jian Yiling made her shot.

“Ping——”

The cue stick hit the white ball. Then, the white ball collided with the solid ball.

Then, that ball hit the side before rebounding to the other side of the billiard desk. Then, it rebounded again.

Finally, it clashed with another ball next to it.

This caused the ball to roll into a pocket at a completely unexpected angle.

The ball… It went in…

But… How was that possible?!

Was this a mere coincidence?

Or did Jian Yiling calculate this beforehand?

If so, then she had to plan all these steps inside her brain in advance. She had to calculate the angle and the force. Everything had to be perfect to achieve this.

This was something that only a professional billiard player could achieve.

The crowd was in shock and disbelief. However, at this moment, Jian Yiling already aimed for another ball.

She got the next one in as well.

After aiming again, she managed to get yet another ball in.

Xing Wei and the others were dumbfounded.

Wasn’t this her first time playing?

This was her first time playing?!

How was this possible?! She was definitely lying!

Under the flabbergasted looks of the crowd, Jian Yiling managed to pocket all the solid balls. As a result, she only had the black eight left to pocket.
