Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

Snapped!

Li Mu forcefully struck the white cue ball, which crashed into the triangular pile of red balls, causing them to shatter and scatter chaotically across the table.

Among the 15 red balls that were randomly bumping and rolling, one seemed to have accidentally fallen into the middle pocket, but in fact, Li Mu used his manipulation skills to control the ball and put it into the pocket.

No one could tell that the red ball was controlled by a mysterious, invisible force and entered the pocket amidst the chaos.

"Hahaha! A smash on the opener? Is this old man treating snooker like the black 8?"

"Yeah, it's the first time I've ever seen someone break up like that in snooker! It's hilarious!"

"But the old man was lucky; he managed to get one red ball in, but none of the colored balls were in."

"But the ball positions are all messed up, how are we supposed to play from here on out?"

……

Li Mu's opening shot immediately drew loud laughter from the onlookers.

Even the beautiful referee couldn't help but exchange a smile with the host.

In snooker, the break shot usually involves hiding the white cue ball behind the colored balls as much as possible, only allowing the cue ball to slightly touch the red balls.

The goal is to create obstacles for the opponent to score by hitting the red ball.

The English meaning of the name "snooker" is "obstacle," so creating scoring obstacles for your opponent is the core essence of this game.

The first shot is to smash all the balls apart. This kind of opening shot is usually used in games like "Black 8" or "9-ball". In snooker, almost no one plays like this.

This way of kicking off doesn't create obstacles for the opponent to score, but rather creates scoring opportunities for them.

"Sir, are you sure you know how to play snooker?"

The stage owner, with his grandmother's gray hair, looked at Li Mu with disdain and asked.

"Of course! When I was playing snooker, your dad was still wearing open-crotch pants!"

Li Mu responded with a forced smile.

"Hmph, so what's the point of your tee shot like that?"

The stage owner asked with a hint of mockery.

"Referee, is this not allowed as a break in snooker?"

Li Mu ignored the host and instead turned to the beautiful referee, asking her a question.

"Uh, no, not at all."

The beautiful referee shook her head, but her face clearly showed an expression that she couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, several onlookers started laughing again.

In their eyes, the old man was just a funny clown.

"Alright, you're lucky, you potted a red ball. Keep playing like this! I want to see how you clear the table in one shot, giving me no chance to take a shot! Hahaha!"

The table owner twisted his neck, pointed to the mess of balls all over the table, and mocked with a gloating tone.

Then, Li Mu began his performance.

His goal was clear: not only to clear the table in one shot, but also to get the highest score of 147 points!

To get 147 points, you must pot the black ball after every red ball you pot.

Because the black ball has the highest score among all colored balls, it's a 7-point ball.

Continue until all the red balls are pocketed, then pocket all the colored balls one by one in the order of the rules.

This not only requires a very high level of accuracy in hitting the ball, but also an extremely high level of skill in positioning the cue ball.

If your positioning is wrong, you won't have a chance to surround and attack the black ball, and it will be impossible to get a perfect score of 147.

Whether it's accurately hitting the ball into the pocket or skillfully controlling the ball and positioning, it requires a high level of accuracy, cueing technique, power, and judgment of the ball's trajectory.

Amidst everyone's laughter, Li Mu made a "break shot" on his opening cue. The white cue ball rolled to near the right corner pocket, while the black ball stopped in the middle of the table, right between the two middle pockets.

Furthermore, there are three other balls blocking the path between the cue ball and the black ball. Although they are not completely blocked, the shot path is very limited. If you are not careful, you will hit other balls, which will be a foul.

If a foul is committed, then the 147 break will be lost.

Therefore, the black ball is very troublesome in terms of both the shot trajectory and the angle of the shot.

In general, even professional players would choose to defend in this situation.

Defense, in essence, means giving up on scoring points and then hitting any colored ball with the white cue ball before hiding it behind it, preventing the opponent from having a good opportunity to hit the red ball and score.

But Li Mu came here aiming for a perfect score of 147, so how could he possibly defend?

Even if there were no specific path for hitting the black ball, he could still use the help of the movement technique to hit a curved shot and pocket the black ball to score!

"Heh heh! This old man killed himself on his very first shot!"

"Yes, all the colored balls either have no hitting trajectory or no angle to go in. Now all the balls on the table are scattered, so he can't even hide them in defense!"

"Judging from his posture, does he still want to play the black ball?"

"Hahaha! No way? In this situation, you still want to play the black ball? That's wishful thinking!"

……

The laughter of the onlookers did not bother Li Mu; it only made him more determined to prove them wrong.

The host sat leisurely in his chair, sipping water, seemingly confident of victory and simply enjoying the old man's humiliation.

Snapped!

puff!

However, when Li Mu decisively took his shot, the white ball left a trail on the tablecloth and accurately struck the black ball, which then slid into the bottom left pocket on the opposite side. The room immediately fell silent.

Several onlookers froze, staring wide-eyed at the pool table, as if they were seeing a hallucination!

The host was so shocked that his pupils shrank, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

Even the beautiful referee looked surprised.

"Holy crap! Seriously? How did they score that?"

"Huh? This old man seems to have some skills!"

"Yes, that shot shows considerable skill!"

"Crisp and precise, and crucially, the cue ball stopped in a very good position!"

……

After being stunned for a second or two, the onlookers immediately began to exclaim in surprise.

Even the hosts of the two challenge platforms next door were so surprised by Li Mu's move that they blinked in disbelief.

As the saying goes, you can tell a master's skill with just one move!

If Li Mu's opening shot seemed like a blunder to everyone, his second shot was absolutely miraculous, turning a completely passive situation into a winning one!

Li Mu appeared calm and composed. The successful pocketing of the black ball and the movement of the cue ball were both aided by his miraculous ball-moving technique.

Of course, Li Mu himself also possesses considerable billiards skills. In his youth, he was a top player in his area, known as "Li the One-Pole".

His body is now much stronger than when he was young, and his control over his body and his mastery of strength far surpass that of ordinary people. His ball skills will only be more amazing than when he was young.

With the added aid of magical transport techniques, playing billiards would be an absolutely overpowered experience!

Snapped!

clap clap!

What followed was a performance by Li Mu, who kept creating shocks and relentlessly slapping people in the face.

As he scored a series of brilliant goals, the onlookers gasped in amazement.

They no longer dared to laugh at or look down on the old man. Instead, they applauded and cheered every time Li Mu made a shot.

Players from other areas, upon hearing that an old man with unparalleled ball skills had arrived in the challenge zone, all came to watch.

Soon, the pool table in the challenge area was surrounded by people.

Many people took out their phones to record videos, and some even opened live streaming apps to broadcast the event live.

Snapped!

As Li Mu potted the last black ball, the game ended with him clearing the table in one shot.

Moreover, Li Mu achieved a feat in the world of snooker: a break of 147!

The table owner, with his grandmother's gray hair, really didn't even have the chance to go up and play his cue!

"Wow! That old man is amazing! A break of 147! This is the first time I've ever witnessed a break of 147 in real life!"

"Holy crap! A man nearing 70 years old shot a 147 break? Who can believe it?"

"This is incredible! This is absolutely a miracle!"

"This is absolutely insane!"

……

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience, and everyone was amazed by Li Mu, who looked like a very old man.

Ding!

After completing the challenge, Li Mu went to the silver table to collect his 20000 yuan reward.

Seeing the 20,000 yuan deposited into his account, he felt incredibly happy!

"Um...waiter, is there a limit to the number of times you can attempt this challenge?"

Li Mu asked the cashier.

"No restrictions." The waiter shook his head.

"Alright, let's continue! It'll be 200 challenge fee again."

How could Li Mu miss such a great opportunity to make money?

If Mingyue gambles away all his savings of over 60,000, he'll be left with nothing.

After all, he couldn't use divination to predict the outcome of gambling; who knew what the final result would be?

We should take advantage of this opportunity to make a killing and use it as reserve funds.

Therefore, Li Mu decided to continue the challenge!

After paying the challenge fee, he walked directly up to the somewhat overweight middle-aged table owner and asked, "You said you'd give me a ten-point handicap, right?"

"...Uh, hehe, sir, I was blind. I didn't realize your skills were so amazing! I was just bragging, hehe!"

The host was slightly taken aback, then quickly smiled awkwardly and said...

How could he dare to underestimate this old man now?

He has played snooker for decades and has never achieved a break of 147.

How could he dare to boast that he would make this unassuming old man take ten poles?

Now he lacks even the confidence to win.

"Okay, now I'll challenge you. I'll give you a ten-stroke handicap!"

Li Mu, exuding an air of dominance, looked down at the platform master with disdain and spoke calmly.
