The van brought Cheng Nuo and the rest through many places and eventually stopped at… a pool hall!
Weren't they going to fight? Why were they at a pool hall?
Cheng Nuo looked at Lin Hu puzzledly.
Lin Hu shook his head to show that he was unsure. Although his relationship with his cousin was good, that was the first time he had been to this pool hall.
"Alright, get out, everyone." Lin Ping smiled and asked everyone to get out of the car.
Meanwhile, the Husky Gang also got out of the other van.
Gao Yuan stared at Cheng Nuo fiercely, followed Brother Dog closely, and entered the pool hall named "Starlight".
Cheng Nuo shook his head and smiled. Then he walked into the pool hall after Lin Ping.
The area of the pool hall was about 500 square meters. There were more than ten pool tables.
Business was pretty good. Although it was already past ten, there were still many people in the pool hall. Some were playing and some were watching. It was bustling with activity.
"Yo, Big Brother Dog, Brother Ping, what brings you over?"
The boss of the pool hall was a bespectacled man with a moustache.
He greeted them after seeing more than ten people enter his shop.
"Stop wasting time, get us a table. Let's settle this quickly," said Big Brother Dog emotionlessly.
The gangs usually solved conflicts between two parties with a game of pool. If necessary, they would play two games.
Cough cough, actually, in reality, there were very few gang fights. The gang fights illustrated in novels between two parties did not exist in the real world. Or rather, it only existed between bigger gangs.
For small gangs like the Husky Gang and the Crew Cut Gang, with less than ten people each, even if they wanted to fight, they were unable to do so.
Moreover, they were merely playing around. They had parents and families, and if they killed someone, nobody could bear the consequences.
Therefore, with the instructions of a renowned person in Qing Cheng, the gangs had decided that if they were involved in a conflict, they would resolve it in the pool hall.
The winner would have the right to speak!
"Oh, call Uncle Qiang over to witness this!"
The Uncle Qiang who Lin Ping was referring to was the old man that had decided on this rule. He was also the real boss of the pool hall.
Meanwhile, the boss with the moustache was just a boss for show.
"Alright, please wait a few minutes!" The boss with the moustache, who was wearing a wine red suit, walked away quickly.
"Oh, so it's the both of you!" Uncle Qiang was wearing his Tai Chi suit and looked extremely energetic. He smiled when he saw Lin Ping and Brother Dog.
"Greetings, Uncle Qiang!"
"Greetings, Uncle Qiang!"
In front of the old man, Lin Ping and Brother Dog became humble. After all, whatever they did now was nothing compared to what Uncle Qiang went through when he was younger.
Cheng Nuo was stunned by the unfolding scene. He felt as though he was watching a drama about gangs.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
After Uncle Qiang appeared, Cheng Nuo was extremely stunned. He exuded an aura that was calm, but one could still feel his strong presence. That was something Cheng Nuo had never experienced before.
Height: 171 cm, weight: 57 kg… Lung capacity: 4521, heart rate: 75 beats per minute, blood pressure: 127/85 mmHg…
Based on the data, Uncle Qiang was much healthier than others of his age. However, Cheng Nuo could not tell if he had any "internal injuries" yet.
"Since you have arrived, then I shall not try to resolve the problem. Resolve the problem by yourselves during the game!" said Uncle Qiang.
Cheng Nuo felt cheated when he saw Lin Ping and Brother Dog nodding seriously.
Brother, fight! Didn't we agree to fight?! Why were they playing pool? It felt as though the fighting spirit had gone to waste.
However, pool was good too. He just hoped that his party did not lose.
"I shall repeat the rules again. Best of seven—whoever who wins four rounds first wins! Players cannot be changed in the midst of the game but can be changed at the start of each game! Are both of you ready?" Uncle Qiang's strong voice could be heard in the pool hall. This game also attracted the attention of many other players.
It was a game between two gangs. That was extremely interesting.
The representatives of the first round were the gang leaders, Brother Dog and Big Brother Crew Cut! Both of them had been practicing pool for a long while in case they had to deal with such situations.
For the first match, they definitely had to secure a win!
Both of them looked at each other with serious expressions. The mood immediately intensified.
Cheng Nuo sat at the side and watched. He could shout 666 and
Cheng Nuo ate sunflower seeds while watching the match.
Both parties were extremely close in the first round.
Lin Ping was playing the solid-colored balls, while Brother Dog was playing the striped balls. Neither party showed mercy in the match. When one scored, the other party would score too.
Eventually, it became a war of eight ball!
"Yay! Go, Big Brother Crew Cut, you are the best!"
Lin Ping eventually potted the eight ball into the pocket first.
Lin Ping felt proud when he saw Brother Dog at a loss. "Don't be disheartened, Brother Dog, you still have a chance next round… But it is a chance to lose again, haha!"
Brother Dog gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Crew Cut, don't be too arrogant!"
"Gao, it's your turn next!" Brother Dog threw the cue stick to Gao Yuan and said, "Don''t forget what you said."
"Definitely not, Big Brother Dog, just wait for me to win!"
As for changing players to Gao Yuan for the second round, Lin Ping could not understand this move.
"Who is that guy?" Lin Ping frowned.
In Lin Ping's memory, Gao Yuan did not belong to the Husky Gang.
"Brother, he is a schoolmate of mine named Gao Yuan. He has just joined the Husky Gang," explained Lin Hu.
"Ha, how skilled can a high school student be? I will end this match in five minutes." When Lin Ping heard that Gao Yuan was a high school student, he did not think he was worthy of being his opponent at all.
He thought he was an expert invited by Brother Dog, but he turned out to be a boy who was not experienced at all.
Haha, it would be extremely easy for him to beat a high school student!
Lin Ping began the match confidently.
However… After five minutes, he returned crying.
What the f*ck? How was a high school student so good at pool? Lin Ping could not understand.
Initially, Lin Ping did not view Gao Yuan as a worthy opponent. However, after one shot, Lin Ping realized that he was wrong about Gao Yuan!
