(Listen, please give me a recommendation~)
"Jamie, did you win just now?" Barry pushed his way through the crowd and said to a middle-aged white man with a receding hairline.
"Oh, yes, Barry. You just know how to drink and didn't see the exciting moment just now," Jamie said with a sense of pride.
"Oh, I guess I was lucky. I bet 20 bucks," Barry said with a smile, then turned to nod at Luo Tai.
Luo Tai whispered, "OK, congratulations. Take the money and go."
Just as Barry was about to take the money from the table, a muffled voice came from the crowd. "Wait, I have a friend who wants to try." A muscular man stepped out, with a thin man wearing glasses standing beside him.
"It's him," the muscular man said to the crowd. "Svenson, he used to be at the 'Blue Heart' target club."
Everyone's eyes turned to this thin man, Svenson. He didn't look impressive, but he was refined. He smiled at everyone and said, "Jamie threw very well, but according to the rules, if someone beats his score, they win, right?"
"Of course!!" the crowd shouted.
"Hehe, young man, I hit three bullseyes and two nine-rings. That's 48 points," Jamie said, folding his arms.
Svenson nodded and smiled, "An impressive score, but I want to try."
"Sorry, we're playing for money here. Did you sign up?" Jamie asked.
"I signed him up just now. If he wins, the money is all mine," the muscular man said coldly.
Jamie looked at the big man and said helplessly, "Johnson, you always try to ruin my good luck... OK, OK, go ahead, young man. I want to see how you can score 49 points."
Svenson adjusted his glasses, walked to the throwing line, and picked up a dart. The crowd suddenly fell silent.
He shook his arm and then, with a "whoosh," threw the first dart.
"Clap~" The dart hit the bullseye dead center.
"Wow!" the crowd exclaimed. An expert! A true expert!
The center of the dartboard was a red circle about one centimeter in diameter. Hitting it from five meters away wasn't easy. Svenson smiled proudly, then took out the second dart, aimed slightly, and threw it with a "whoosh~"
"Clap~" This time it hit the yellow ring next to the bullseye, which is called a nine-ring.
Jamie exhaled, and everyone could see that with the remaining three darts, if Svenson missed the bullseye even once, he would lose.
This throw wasn't good, but Svenson didn't seem flustered. He steadied himself and, with a "whoosh," threw the third dart. "Clap!" Bullseye!
Then the fourth dart, another bullseye.
For the last dart, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, watching Svenson.
"Whoosh! Clap!!"
Bullseye!!!
"Roar~~~" The crowd cheered. Especially Johnson, who hugged Svenson excitedly. Amazing, this was a comeback from the brink!
Jamie and Barry stomped their feet in frustration. Damn it, a victory that was almost in their hands was snatched away. However, they lost with no regrets; Svenson really did score 49 points, a score that any dart enthusiast would admire!!
A staff member walked over, took the darts off the board, and placed them back on the table.
"Jamie, I'm very sorry, I just beat you by one point. Ha ha, are you interested in throwing again? If you hit 50 points, the money is still yours," Johnson said, patting Jamie's shoulder.
Jamie gave Johnson a dirty look and shook his head, clearly not planning to challenge. After all, hitting 48 points wasn't something he could do every time. His best performance for the night was already over.
Barry shrugged and turned to Luo Tai, saying, "OK, lost another 20 bucks."
"If you listen to me and help me this time, I'll win back your 20 bucks for you," Luo Tai said.
"You?" Barry looked at Luo Tai in confusion and asked, "You can throw darts?"
"Let's try. Didn't Johnson say we can challenge? I'll represent Jamie," Luo Tai nodded.
Luo Tai spoke calmly, but Barry felt a sense of confidence. He quickly said to Johnson, "Wait, I have a friend who can represent Jamie to challenge Svenson."
The crowd was stunned, wondering what was going on tonight, with so many challenges. This was going to be exciting.
"Who?" Johnson asked, and Svenson also looked at Barry curiously.
"Him!" Barry pointed to Luo Tai.
Everyone looked at Luo Tai. Luo Tai silently adjusted his headgear, walked to the throwing line, and glanced at the darts. There were more than five darts.
"Hey~, you should at least give your name," Johnson asked Luo Tai, and the crowd chattered.
Before Johnson's words had even finished, Luo Tai's hand moved.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!" Five darts flew almost simultaneously.
"Zzz zzz zzz zzz zzz~~"
Silence. Everyone was petrified!!!
Because Luo Tai's five darts formed a straight line. The first dart hit the very center of the red dot, the second dart pierced the tail of the first and pushed it in, and the third, fourth, and fifth darts all hit the tail of the previous dart. For a moment, the darts became thick and long!
Is this a dream? Everyone was speechless. The accuracy and force of the darts had surpassed their imagination. Only a fool couldn't see the level of precision and power.
Svenson adjusted his glasses with effort, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Bang!!" The dartboard, possibly due to the force of the impact, had its fixing nail come loose, and it was about to slide to the ground.
"Whoosh, Clap!!" At that moment, Luo Tai threw another dart!
The dart pierced through the upper fixing hole of the dartboard, firmly nailing it to the wall!!!
The entire bar fell silent!!!
Luo Tai calmly walked to the wooden table and picked up all the money. The young man guarding the money had no expression, just staring dumbly at Luo Tai.
"Do you have any objections to me taking this?" Luo Tai asked.
The young man and the people around him nodded dumbly. Luo Tai took the money and nodded to Johnson, who was also staring dumbly and then nodded.
Luo Tai put the money away, patted the stunned Barry, and said, "Let's go!"
"Oh~~" Barry finally reacted, shook his head, and closely followed Luo Tai out of the bar...
It took three minutes for the bar to erupt in a flurry of noise after Luo Tai and Barry left!
"Lo~" Barry said as soon as they left the bar, "My God, you... how can you... you're incredible..."
Luo Tai stopped, handed the money to Barry, and said, "There's more than 20 bucks here. I won it back for you. Now it's your turn to help me."
Barry took the money, and from the bottom of his heart, he admired Luo Tai. At the same time, he became very interested in Luo Tai's identity, thinking that Luo Tai's dart-throwing skills could challenge the entire country... no, the whole world...
"What do you want with Casey (Wesley's girlfriend)? I thought you weren't looking for Wesley?" Barry asked curiously.
"I am looking for Wesley, but..." Luo Tai paused and said, "I know Wesley will go to Casey."
"No, as far as I know, Wesley hasn't been to Casey's place in almost a month... uh... you know, Wesley and I are friends, so... it's normal for me to care about his girlfriend," Barry stammered.
"I'm not in the mood to care about your relationship with Casey. Just take me to her place," Luo Tai said.
"You said this is a matter of life and death... what's going on?" Barry asked, puzzled.
"You'll understand when you see Wesley. Let's go. You have to trust me," Luo Tai said seriously.
Barry thought for a moment, then slowly nodded and led Luo Tai to Casey's house.
