There are many wastelands around Luoye Town. These wastelands are very barren and are not suitable for cultivation. Even trees are difficult to rise. Only some weeds can survive with difficulty.

The Knight family has been rooted in the town for many years and is considered a senior resident of the town. Old Harry greeted the mayor and then wrapped a wasteland and simply built a shed to open a carpenter's workshop. Later, Old Harry hired two young carpenters as employees of the carpenter's workshop. These two young carpenters had just finished their apprenticeship careers and their skills were naturally not as good as those of the master, but the pool table was not a complicated thing, and the technical content was very low, and even carpenter apprentices could make it.

These two carpenter apprentices are also residents of Luoye Town, and they are also billiards enthusiasts. They go to the "Return of Heroes" bar every day to play a few billiards. Now I heard that they can specialize in billiards and billiards, and I can't wait to go to work early. For these two young carpenters, being able to get a month before getting close to the water and playing two billiards after work is simply a happy job I dream of.

...

It was not the bar's business hours at noon. Phil leaned on the lounge chair in front of the bar. While enjoying the sun, his eyes were always looking into the distance of the road unconsciously, as if waiting for someone.

Finally, a short man appeared in Phil's vision, which was Peter, the owner of Triumph Bar.

Phil stood up from the recliner and walked forward with a smile: "Mr. Peter, long time no see!"

"The young master of Knight's family!" Peter snorted coldly, ignored Phil and walked straight forward.

"Mr. Peter, please stay." Phil blocked Peter's way.

"Don't block the way, get out of the way!" Peter still had no good expression.

"Mr. Peter, is the business of Triumph Bar okay?" Phil still asked with a smile.

"How is my business there? You don't know?" A hint of anger appeared on Peter's face: "You made a damn billiard ball and snatched my business. Today you stopped me specifically to mock me?"

"You misunderstood. I'm stopping you specifically, not to mock you. I want to invite you to my place and play a few billiards." Phil replied with a smile.

"Please go to your place to play billiards?" Peter sneered and said with disdain: "Are you noble children so bored? You have beaten me, do you still have to step on my head? Let's enjoy the pleasure of hitting the dog in the water?"

After Peter finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"You keep saying that my billiards have stolen your business, don't you want to see with your own eyes what billiards look like? Are you confused about losing?" Phil's voice sounded, and Peter stopped suddenly.

"You are right. I can't lose without understanding. I'll follow you! I want to see what that billiard ball looks like!"

...

"Is this billiards?" Peter looked at the white claw balls and nine red balls on the table, and the confusion flashed through his eyes. At this moment, he had no idea that just a few wooden balls could snatch guests from him.

Phil picked up a club, pointed to the white cue ball, and said, "Let me introduce it. The way to play billiards is very simple. Did you see the white ball? Use this and the club to hit the white ball, let the white ball hit the red ball, and finally hit the red ball into the goal hole. For example..."

Phil said as he bent down and finished a goal.

"It's that simple? You just snatched my guests with such a simple game?" Peter's tone was filled with disdain.

"Simplicity does not mean it is not fun." Phil threw the club to Peter and said, "You can try it too."

After trying a few shots, Peter finally successfully scored the ball to the goal hole.

"It only takes two minutes to master the skills. This is really a boring game. I can hold on for three minutes if I find a woman! The people in the town are all idiots, and they are actually fascinated by this boring game." Peter said with resentment, his expression even a little crazy.

As a bartender, Peter spent more than ten years studying bartending. Although he was not the best, he was still very confident about his bartending skills. Today he suddenly realized that the bartending that he had been practicing hard for more than ten years was not as attractive to guests as a simple game. This mentality imbalance put Peter on the verge of collapse.

Phil complained about "Three-minute Fast Boy" in his heart, but continued, "Peter, let's play! The rules are also very simple. There are nine red balls, and whoever scores five goals first will win. If you score one goal, you can play another shot. If you don't score, you have to change the opponent. I can ask you to kick off first!"

"I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Peter agreed without hesitation. With an unbalanced mentality, he hoped to find his face in some way. If he could beat Phil, Peter would never refuse. However, Phil is a junior magician after all, and Peter is not his opponent, so defeating Phil on the table has become a way to get back his face.

As a time traveler, although Phil is not a billiard master, his billiards level is enough to dominate the community senior activity center, and it is more than enough to deal with a beginner. However, Phil still deliberately let Peter score three goals before accepting the game.

"It's almost done. If I aimed at it just now, I would win." Peter seemed a little unwilling.

"One more game, I'll give you a chance to revenge." Phil said with a smile.

Peter lost a little, and he agreed directly: "Okay! You can kick off the ball this time."

Peter is also a very smart man. After a few sets, he became more and more skilled in hitting balls and his shooting percentage was much higher.

With Phil deliberately giving in, Peter finally won a set.

"Haha, I won! I've said a long time ago that this is a simple game. I only need to practice a few more times to defeat you!" Peter said proudly.

"Yes, Mr. Peter, you are making great progress." Phil said, taking out his pocket watch and looking at the time, and then said inadvertently: "Unknown it, it's almost two o'clock!"

"It's almost two o'clock? I've been here for more than an hour?" Peter immediately took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. Then his expression became solemn, and then solemn turned into frustration.

"I lost!" Peter looked desperate.

"It seems that Mr. Peter has understood why your bar loses guests." Phil said with a smile.

Peter nodded, and he patted the pool table, and then said, "I admit that this is really a very attractive game. Even I am addicted to it. More than an hour has passed without realizing it. I am a bartender, and even I can't resist the temptation of billiards, let alone ordinary guests. I lost, I'm convinced, don't worry, I will close the Triumph Bar next month and leave Luoye Town."

"Mr. Peter, don't get me wrong. I'm asking you to come here, not to let you leave here." Phil said.

"My business will only get worse and worse, and I will lose money soon. What's the point of staying there! I'd better change the place!" Peter refused.

"Mr. Peter, if you want, I can give you a few pool tables so that your business will be better." As Phil spoke, his face still had a signature smile.

The so-called signature smile is actually just a slight smile but not a smile. Peter couldn't figure it out. He asked vigilantly: "What are you going to do? What's your purpose?"

"Of course I have a purpose. I want to cooperate with Mr. Peter and do business together." Phil paused, lowered his voice, and then said, "A big business, let's make money together."

"You want to cooperate with me to do business? Make money together? Hahaha..." Peter seemed to hear a joke, his eyes full of distrust, as if he was a cunning fox who saw through the hunter's trap.

Phil didn't care about Peter's mockery. He patted the pool table in front of him and then introduced: "Mr. Peter, you have experienced the charm of billiards for yourself. You should also know that this thing can attract more guests to the bar. There are so many bars all over the country. If we sell billiards to every bar, how much do you think you can earn?"

"You want to sell this thing to the whole country?" Peter showed a surprised expression.

"Mr. Peter, I heard that you have a wide range of connections and know a lot of bar owners, so I want to cooperate with you. You just need to contact some bar owners for me and I can share 30% of the profit." Phil paused and continued, "You don't have to reply to me immediately, you can go back and consider it. I'll send two pool tables to your bar later, which shows my sincerity in cooperation."
