Chapter 779: Double Kill!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He saw that Pei Huai’s pieces were still far away, and…they were getting further and further away.
If one wanted to win in Chinese checkers, they had to move all their pieces to the other side. Therefore, when playing this game, most people would move closer.
However, Pei Huai was not like that. In fact, he was doing the opposite!
He walked along the edge of the chessboard and built a bridge, not coming in contact with any of Bian Guanshi’s white chess pieces.
He played calmly. Compared to Bian Guanshi’s messy way of arranging the pieces, Pei Huai’s was very beautiful.
Shen Mu admired his CEO for being able to find a way to satisfy his OCD even when playing chess.
However, Bian Guanshi’s thoughts were not as simple as Shen Mu’s.
The chess piece that he had placed in mid -air had not moved for a long time. He looked at Pei Huai’s arrangement, his eyes flickering. After a long while, his heart thumped.
This route seemed to be a roundabout one, but unknowingly, the formation to attack the enemy had been set up!
Next. he could move the first black niece into the center!
He looked at his own side. The position was not defended at all. Although he hadn’t lost any pieces, it was of no use at all. The water from afar could not extinguish the fire nearby!
He held the white piece in his hand and moved it left and right. His forehead was sweating, but he could not find a position to place it.
His originally clear thoughts were all messed up.
He slapped his thigh. As a veteran of Chinese checkers, how could he realize it so late?
The kid’s beginner’s opening…
…was actually the rare Snake Opening!
The Snake Opening was similar to the Beginner Opening. They both started from the sides, but the difference was obvious later on.
This kind of movement required a high level of skill in building bridges and a strong ability to predict.
Bian Guanshi had played checkers his entire life, but he had never seen anyone use it.
And Pei Huai’s opening was different from what he had seen before.
Bian Guanshi was puzzled. This kid said that the last time he played was more than twenty years ago. He was less than ten years old more than twenty years ago. How could he know such a difficult method?
After a long time, Bian Guanshi narrowed his eyes.
So he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger…
This kid must be lying to him!
Pei Huai’s side had already built the bridge, but Bian Guanshi’s power was already gone.
Shen Mu looked at his CEO, whom he thought was at a disadvantage, in disbelief. In the next minute, the black pieces entered the enemy’s territory one after another.
In the end, even when Bian Guanshi rolled his eyes and admitted that he had lost, Shen Mu still could not understand how his boss had won! As for the disciple beside him, he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
His master…lost just like that?
This was the first time he had seen his master lose!
“Thank you.” Pei Huai’s tone was humble and did not have any smugness.
His humility made Bian Guanshi even angrier!
As if it was normal for him to win??
However, that was the truth.
Pei Huai said that the last time he played was more than twenty years ago, and it was completely true.
When Pei Huai was four years old, he had shocked the entire kindergarten with his improved Snake Opening.
Within a few days, he had defeated all the teachers. One had to know that the teachers in the private kindergarten he studied at were not ordinary.
In the end, even the princ.i.p.al could not win him.
However, Pei Huai’s pa.s.sion for Chinese checkers only lasted until his fifth birthday.
He felt that a game like checkers was fine for four-year-olds, but it was not suitable for five-year-olds and above.
Bian Guanshi looked at Pei Huai, then at the other games in his entertainment district.
In the first round, he was unlucky enough to choose what that kid was good at. In the second round, he had to choose a game that he had never played before!
In the end, after hesitating between a few games, he chose…foosball!
Bian Tong’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the rows of little people on the billiard table. “…
Even he knew that there were two important aspects when playing foosball. One was the grip and the other was the strength of the hand.
The grip on the handle should not be too tight. The handle should be held vertically in the palm of the hand so that the handle can be turned with the palm.
As for the strength, one had to use one’s wrist to exert force flexibly and hit the back of the ball with the greatest explosive force in a short period of time. This was definitely the key.
Pei Huai’s wrist…and the veins on his arm could make girls cry. Choosing foosball was simply wrong!
He even tried to protect his master by reminding him if he should change to another game. However, Bian Guanshi was even more convinced that foosball was Pei Huai’s weakness.
After all, Bian Tong came with that brat. How could he have thought that Bian Tong would be on his side!
Moreover, that kid was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he looked sanctimonious. He didn’t look like he was strong. However, he was different. He practiced Tai Chi all year round, and using softness to overcome hardness was his forte!
Just like that, if Bian Tong didn’t say it, Bian Guanshi might have hesitated for a while, but then Bian Tong’s “kind” reminder actually caused the second round of the game to start quickly!
Bian Guanshi gave his disciple a look, and he stepped forward to explain the rules.
There were three rounds. The first to score five goals in each game won.
Foosball was not like real football. The progress of the game was very fast. Generally speaking, if it went smoothly, it could end in ten minutes.
The rules were simple and easy to understand. A goal that complied with the rules counted as one point. Even if the ball bounced out after entering the goal, it would still be counted.
Spinning the club more than 3600 before or after hitting the ball is considered a foul.
As for the subtle rules that were more detailed, the disciple also explained them very professionally.
For example, whoever touched the ball would serve first.
Another example was that after the ball was served, only goals that are scored by the opponents’ miniature players count.
In other words, scoring your own goal does not count.
After he finished speaking, the disciple looked at Pei Huai. “CEO Pei, do you understand?”
Pei Huai nodded slightly to indicate that they could start.
Bian Guanshi patted him on the shoulder calmly. “If you don’t remember, don’t force yourself. Just ask my disciple to repeat it for you a few more times.” Pei Huai glanced at his originally spotless suit shoulder and politely said, “no need.”
Then, he walked around the other side of the table and stood in his seat.
Bian Guanshi still had an expression of victory when Pei Huai slowly rolled up his sleeves.
After unintentionally revealing his strong and muscular arm…it faded abruptly!
