Seeing that the other party could no longer hold back, Lin Feng reluctantly got up and stepped away from Su Xue.
Looking at Su Xue, her face was already flushed to her neck. Seeing this, Lin Feng felt a bit embarrassed as well; after all, he had taken advantage of the situation, and it was quite a significant advantage.
However embarrassed Lin Feng felt, he couldn't show it. If he took advantage and then was exposed by Chen Zisheng for pretending to be in a relationship with Su Xue, Lin Feng figured Su Xue would probably grab a kitchen knife and chop him up.
"Hehe... Su Xue, what do you think?" Although he wanted to have some fun with Chen Zisheng, Lin Feng still turned his head to gauge Su Xue's feelings. After all, he had just crossed a line with her, so it was only right to give her some face.
Su Xue didn't believe that Lin Feng would actually play any Snooker. Just now, although Lin Feng claimed he was teaching her, she really hadn't learned anything from his instruction; instead, it was Lin Feng who had gained quite a bit.
So, in order to prevent Lin Feng from losing too badly later, Su Xue planned to refuse. She could easily come up with an excuse like, "Lin Feng, didn't you promise me you wouldn't play anymore?" This way, Lin Feng could gracefully back down while also subtly showing their affection for each other—killing two birds with one stone.
At that moment, Lin Feng hoped that Su Xue would agree but feared that she might not understand his skills and find a way to decline.
Lin Feng really wanted to have a match with Chen Zisheng. With his skills, winning against someone like Chen Zisheng would be like child's play. In fact, Lin Feng thought it would be even better if Chen Zisheng was willing to place a bet.
Although Lin Feng had twenty million in the Magic Ring and about three hundred thousand from Li Zhong, these were not things he could flaunt; at least, he couldn't let anyone from the Casino know about them.
Of course, aside from this reason, Lin Feng thought that if he won Chen Zisheng's dating fund, he probably wouldn't be able to invite Su Xue out anymore. That would free him up.
Meanwhile, Chen Xinni was playing pool when she heard Chen Zisheng's suggestion. Remembering how Lin Feng had made her cry yesterday and how he had beaten up her thug boyfriend so badly that even his mother wouldn't recognize him two days ago—old grudges combined with new grievances sparked a plan in her mind. "Lin Feng, you think you're so impressive? You even made me cry! Well then, today I'm going to give you a taste of your own medicine."
Before Su Xue could open her mouth to refuse, Chen Xinni quickly chimed in: "You guys want to play? That's great! Sister Xue loves watching people play Snooker! Every time I watch Snooker with Sister Xue, she's always amazed and praises those professional players for being so handsome."
After saying this, Chen Xinni looked at Lin Feng with a pitiful expression as if saying: "Let's see how you handle this."
Su Xue was interrupted by Chen Xinni, and the excuses she had prepared were swallowed back down. With Chen Xinni's words, it was clear that if she tried to come up with any more excuses, anyone with a bit of sense would know she was afraid Lin Feng would lose.
As it stood, they hadn't even started yet, and they were already feeling intimidated, which would be quite embarrassing.
Thus, Su Xue could only give Chen Xinni a fierce warning glance. She knew very well that Chen Xinni was retaliating against Lin Feng. At the same time, she had no good feelings toward Lin Feng either; after all, he was the one who had made Chen Xinni cry yesterday. If he hadn't upset her, would she have sought revenge like this?
Meanwhile, Lin Feng felt grateful toward Chen Xinni. It was as if this girl had delivered a pillow just when he needed to sleep. Although Lin Feng understood that she wanted to embarrass him in public, he still appreciated her.
"Shall we have a friendly match then?" Chen Zisheng nodded at Lin Feng. His tone was inquiring, but he had already picked up his cue stick, clearly not planning to let Lin Feng refuse.
Well then, a match he had been looking forward to was happening thanks to his opponents' arrangements. Lin Feng felt he should thank Chen Xinni and Chen Zisheng; without them, he wouldn't be able to fulfill his wishes.
But that wasn't his main goal. Lin Feng wanted to win some money or something like that. He didn't want Chen Zisheng to lose face alone; given this guy's thick skin, Lin Feng believed his pride could withstand many losses. Therefore, if he won, it wouldn't hurt Chen Zisheng too much!
"Wait a minute, you two big guys are competing; naturally, there should be some stakes involved. It's not exciting without stakes!" Chen Xinni seemed to read Lin Feng's mind and directly voiced what he wanted to say. At that moment, all Lin Feng felt for her was gratitude; he almost wanted to give her a hug for being so understanding.
She truly was considerate. Although Lin Feng knew she didn't have good intentions, these days, there were plenty of people who meant well but ended up causing trouble; it wasn't unacceptable if someone with bad intentions did something good!
"Yeah, that's true. How about this: the loser pays the bill," Chen Zisheng immediately responded to Chen Xinni's suggestion.
"That's not enough! I say the loser should pay for everyone present! Now that's exciting! Don't you all agree?" The mischievous glint in Chen Xinni's eyes grew stronger as the crowd began to cheer.
Who would back down from such an opportunity? Everyone present who could hear agreed; after all, whoever lost would benefit them all—wasn't that like picking up money?
Although those who could spend at Guangchen weren't exactly poor, they weren't rich enough to treat money lightly either. Finding ways to save money while having fun—where else could one find such opportunities?
Moreover, getting a free lunch is definitely one of the happiest things; it's a mindset, not just about money. Some people feel happy simply because they can take advantage of a deal, regardless of how cheap or expensive it is.
This mentality exists in everyone, to varying degrees.
Although Lin Feng was almost laughing to the point of cramping, he glanced at Su Xue and saw her worried expression. He couldn't help but feel a warm surge in his heart. No matter the reason, Lin Feng knew that Su Xue's worry stemmed from concern for him.
Su Xue wasn't completely heartless after all!
But at this moment, Lin Feng couldn't tell Su Xue anything; even if he did, she might not believe him. The only thing he could do was win the match to show her.
"Alright." Although he felt delighted inside, Lin Feng pretended to reluctantly agree, wearing a bitter expression on his face.
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Chen Xinni felt all her frustration dissipate. It was so satisfying! Kid, let me show you what happens when you provoke me.
To demonstrate her generosity, Chen Zisheng let Lin Feng break first.
Lin Feng didn’t refuse; if someone wanted to show off, let them do it. After the game, he would make sure they had no place to cry.
"Smack..." A crisp sound echoed as Lin Feng completed his break.
Since he didn't consider Chen Zisheng a serious opponent, Lin Feng didn't employ any tricks during his break and played with standard techniques.
Seeing Lin Feng's conventional playstyle, Chen Zisheng felt relieved. Although he knew his skills were decent, he was meticulous and always aimed to understand both himself and his opponent.
That way, one could avoid defeat in battle!
Indeed, following that, Chen Zisheng's performance was quite impressive. It was evident that he had some skill, as he managed to sink six balls in a row, which was a commendable achievement.
Seeing Chen Zisheng sink six balls consecutively, Su Xue cautiously clenched her fist beside him, while simultaneously carrying out a little punishment on Chen Xinni, who was sitting next to her and enjoying the game. If Lin Feng lost, it wouldn't just be about pride; the money involved was no small amount either.
It's important to note that the Guangchen Club is not just any ordinary venue; the basic entry fee for each person is two thousand yuan. If everyone is just playing billiards, that's one thing, but if they decide to spend elsewhere in the club, like indulging in an expensive Western meal, the costs could easily reach hundreds of thousands.
Lin Feng, being a poor student, certainly couldn't afford such expenses.
Although Chen Xinni felt somewhat intimidated by Su Xue, her desire for revenge took precedence at that moment. After all, Lin Feng wasn't Su Xue's actual boyfriend, so she figured it wouldn't be too excessive to mess with him.
Seeing Chen Zisheng's decent skills, Lin Feng was only slightly surprised. After all, no matter how much Chen Zisheng practiced, he could never reach Lin Feng's level. In his previous life, Lin Feng had even achieved a full clearance in one shot multiple times.
Moreover, Lin Feng had just demonstrated his ability to project Mental Power earlier; the accuracy and success rate of his shots were notably high. This was likely similar to how Mental Power assists with shooting.
When Mental Power is projected outward, it's akin to extending one's sensory nerves like antennae. At that moment, those targets appeared as close and clear targets for Lin Feng.
In this context, projecting Mental Power is comparable to a sniper's scope but far more effective; at least he could control it effortlessly.
Thus, when it was Lin Feng's turn to play, he directly projected his Mental Power and began shooting. His intention was to gradually undermine Chen Zisheng's confidence until he couldn't muster any fighting spirit in front of him—at least while playing snooker.
Of course, Lin Feng didn't expect that one match would leave such a heavy shadow over Chen Zisheng. If that were the case, then Chen Zisheng would be too fragile.
But Lin Feng would do his best.
So later on, Lin Feng executed a clean break with a single shot, showcasing his remarkable skills and astonishing ability to cheat.
After all, although Lin Feng could occasionally clear the table in his previous life, it was just an occasional feat. Now, with the aid of his powerful Mental Power, Lin Feng could deliberately clear the table, showcasing what he called his astonishing cheating ability.
What is astonishing cheating ability? It means that after you cheat, others still believe you won through skill. This is the pinnacle of cheating.
Watching the last ball sink into the pocket, Su Xue relaxed her tightly clenched fist. She gazed at Lin Feng's effortless clearance and felt increasingly perplexed by him.
How did he win? And win so thoroughly. Su Xue was filled with shock, but she was also very happy; after all, Lin Feng not only won the game but also the bet and gained face.
On the other hand, Chen Xinni's expression was not so pleasant. Where did this guy Lin Feng come from? A poor student—how did he get involved with snooker? Moreover, judging by his skills, it wasn't something one could acquire just by exposure. Chen Xinni often played billiards herself but had never become a master.
The one with the worst expression on site was Chen Zisheng. The rookie he thought he could easily defeat had transformed into a master—one who evoked no resistance in him. How could he look good?
Seeing Lin Feng's current nonchalant demeanor and recalling how he had pressured Lin Feng into this match earlier, Chen Zisheng felt deep regret; he regretted it to the core, realizing he had been foolish.
As Lin Feng had anticipated, in the end, Chen Zisheng had nowhere to cry.
After a moment of silence, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue. After all, witnessing such skill in an amateur billiards hall was rare; not only did they enjoy an exciting performance, but they also received free entertainment—who wouldn't applaud?
"Hehe... actually, I was just playing around. How did that go in?" Lin Feng scratched his head and smiled as he uttered a line that nearly made Chen Zisheng spit blood.
This isn't how you play with people!
