"Your stakes, you have to put them with me first," Gu Qingshan said.

Hui Shao stared at Gu Qingshan and said, "We haven't even started yet, and you want to take my stakes?"

Gu Qingshan spread his hands: "Look, there are so many of you. If you lose and refuse to admit it, there's nothing I can do."

"If I lose," Gu Qingshan pointed to his chest, "I won't be able to leave in front of you all."

Hui Shao pondered in silence.

"So stingy with money, why even bother hanging out?" Gu Qingshan laughed.

He could already see that this person was clearly looking for trouble.

A complete stranger, a playboy, looking for trouble with him—that was strange.

Hui Shao didn't speak.

His daily expenses were high, and because he had ruined his reputation within the family, he was rarely assigned any work, so his income was consistently low.

He didn't expect the other party to be so shrewd, blocking him with words right away.

A man lives for his face, especially a noble playboy like Hui Shao. The other party had already spoken, so if he wanted to continue playing, he had no choice but to take out real money.

Damn it, he absolutely couldn't let this kid off.

Hui Shao finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'll bet with you."

After saying that, he felt something was off.

He was clearly the one forcing the other party to bet on archery skills, so why did it seem like the other party was forcing him now?

Hui Shao took out a card and handed it over.

"An anonymous card. Transfer the credit points yourself."

This was all his pocket money.

Gu Qingshan took the card, swiped it on his personal Light Brain, and transferred the credit points.

Even a mosquito is still meat; there's never too much money.

Gu Qingshan handed the card back to the other party, his mood becoming cheerful.

"How do you want to compete?" Gu Qingshan asked.

Hui Shao said, "One minute of free shooting, compare the total scores. The one with the higher score wins."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

A middle-aged man in a club uniform squeezed through the crowd.

"Hui Shao, leave it to me," the middle-aged man said.

He looked at Gu Qingshan and said, "Hello, I am Wu Sheng, a three-time Federation Archery Competition champion."

"Not for long," Gu Qingshan sized him up and said.

Before long, Gu Qingshan and Wu Sheng each stood on an archery lane.

"Start!" a coach shouted.

Wu Sheng skillfully drew an arrow, focused his mind, drew the bow, aimed, and released his hand.

Swish!

The arrow landed firmly in the red center of the target.

A burst of cheers and applause erupted.

"10 points!"

"As expected of a three-time shooting champion!"

"Well done!"

"Look at that posture, that accuracy!"

Hui Shao's face also broke into a smile.

They turned their heads to look to the other side.

Gu Qingshan had already shot three arrows, each piercing the edge of the target, neatly arranged together.

The playboys burst into laughter.

"1 point."

"He only shot a 1 point."

"No, it's three 1 points."

"Haha, this kid's hands are as good as gone."

Gu Qingshan was not affected at all, drawing and shooting arrows.

On the other side, Wu Sheng aimed for a long time, finally shooting his second arrow.

Bullseye!

10 points!

Everyone continued to cheer.

Wu Sheng turned his head with a smug look, raising the bow in his hand.

He looked towards the opposite side, only to see that the kid's hands were moving non-stop, and there were already seven arrows on the target.

But they were all 1 point.

Wu Sheng shook his head, sneering.

What's the use of shooting fast?

Seven arrows are not as good as his one.

He drew an arrow, pulled back the bow, and continued to aim.

The competition continued.

Fifteen seconds passed.

Gradually, the cheers subsided, and the mixed whispers became louder and louder, gradually gaining the upper hand.

Wu Sheng shot another arrow, this time affected by the surrounding discussions, his mood fluctuated a bit, and he only got an 8 point.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look, wanting to see what was happening on the other side.

The next moment, the bow in Wu Sheng's hand fell to the ground, and he stood there, petrified.

On the opposite target, the arrows were like a constantly advancing line, neatly inserted along the outermost circle of the target.

Then came the second circle, slightly closer to the inside of the target.

Another neat and orderly circle!

Then the third circle, closer to the bullseye.

Gu Qingshan shot heartily for fifteen seconds.

In just fifteen seconds, all five tubes of arrows placed beside the archery lane were shot by him.

"It's over," Gu Qingshan said.

Opposite him, all the arrows on the entire target were neatly arranged, covering the target so that almost no gap could be seen.

Even the very center of the bullseye was filled with arrows, leaving no gap.

On the other hand, Wu Sheng's target only had five arrows at this moment.

No matter how hard Wu Sheng tried, he couldn't achieve Gu Qingshan's feat within a minute.

Gu Qingshan put away his bow and turned to leave.

When passing by Hui Shao, Gu Qingshan paused and said, "Thank you for the credit points."

"My money is too hot to handle," Hui Shao said.

He turned to one of the people following him and instructed, "Go and find the person in charge of the archery range."

Soon, the manager of the archery range rushed over with several staff members.

From a distance, the manager was already smiling obsequiously, "Hui Shao, what are your instructions?"

Hui Shao pointed at Gu Qingshan with his chin and said, "My bow is missing, and I later found it in this person's hands."

"That's right, this kid is a thief."

"Call the police, arrest him and send him to jail directly."

"He has to return Hui Shao's bow first."

A group of people shouted loudly.

The manager looked at Gu Qingshan and said without hesitation, "Sir, please return the bow to Hui Shao."

He had already been informed that there was an important matter to be done today.

Gu Qingshan said, "I brought the bow myself. You can check the surveillance video of the venue. I have never approached them."

The manager shook his head and said, "The surveillance video has been broken recently. Please return the bow to Hui Shao, or I will call the police."

Before Gu Qingshan could react, he picked up the communicator and had already called the police.

Today, they had to get this person in.

After a while, several policemen walked into the archery range.

They first greeted Hui Shao before walking up.

"You are suspected of theft, please come with us," one of the policemen said directly.

Gu Qingshan looked at the policemen and was already a little annoyed.

"Are you really policemen? Where's the evidence?" he said.

His eyes swept over them with an icy coldness.

For some reason, everyone felt a chill in their hearts and involuntarily closed their mouths.

One of the policemen involuntarily placed his hand on his gun.

This kid is a bit strange, they thought in unison.

Thank you to the shameless shy grass for the reward, and thank you to all the book friends for your recommendations and collections! The new book is not easy, please continue to recommend it.
