Hunter, a young man from the town, walked on the streets of Ashes City, and the bustling crowds around him made Hunter look envious.

For Hunter, a young man from the town, entering the city is a very happy thing. If it weren't for following the boss to go to the city to purchase, Hunter wouldn't have the opportunity to leave Luoye Town and come to this bustling ashes city.

Young people always yearn for the bustling city, and Hunter is the same. He longs to go to the city instead of staying in the grocery store in Luoye Town as a waiter for his whole life. Unfortunately, Hunter has no money and no way, and he has no stepping stone to enter the city, so he can only stroll around the Ashes City and enjoy his eyes.

After a busy day, the boss took Hunter to a cheap hotel. Then the boss went to a bar in the city for fun and kept Hunter and another guy in the hotel for themselves.

How could the young man's turbulent heart resist the temptation of nightlife in the big city? Although Hunter and his companions had no money, they left the small hotel and mixed into the bustling corner of Ashes City to watch the life of the big city.

Before he knew it, Hunter and his companions walked to a billiards hall. In addition to a recharge advertisement hanging in front of the billiards hall, there was another advertisement with the words "Welcome to participate in the first Ashes City Billiards Championship."

"Billiards Championship? What is that?" Hunter and his companions stopped to watch.

"This is a billiards game, and there are bonuses! Oh my god, the champion's prize is five gold coins! I haven't saved so much money in five or six years!" My companion sighed.

"The champion's prize is five gold coins, the runner-up also has three gold coins, the third place is one gold coins, the fourth place is fifty silver coins, the fifth to eighth place is thirty silver coins, and the eighth to sixteenth place is ten silver coins. In other words, as long as you enter the top sixteen, you will have money to get it!"

Hunter was a little moved at this time. The salary of a small place like Luoye Town is much lower than that of a big city. Five gold coins are really a lot of money for Hunter, which is enough for him to marry a wife.

Hunter's football skills are still very good. He is a resident of Luoye Town and the first player in billiards. When Phil first invented the billiards, Hunter showed a high talent and was the top expert in Luoye Town.

"Hunt, go and participate in this game! With your skills, you will definitely win the championship." The companion said.

"I don't expect a champion. Being able to enter the quarterfinals and get twenty silver coins is worth a month's salary. But this place is a city after all, and there must be many powerful people. I'm afraid I can't even enter the quarterfinals." Hunter said hesitantly.

"It's not a good idea to register for the competition, so you can try it. If you lose, there will be no loss. If you win, you will get a bonus." The companion continued to persuade.

"Okay, I'll try it. If I can really get the bonus, I'll invite you to drink at that time." Hunter finally made up his mind.

...

News that Phil was going to hold a billiards game soon spread in Ashes City.

The prize for the five gold coins of the championship is very attractive. For many ordinary families, the five gold coins are the income of the family for the whole year. Even if they cannot win the championship, the prize for the three gold coins of the runner-up is comparable to the salary of an ordinary person for a year.

The entire Ashes City suddenly caused a sensation, not only because of how generous the championship prize of the five gold coins is, but also because you can earn five gold coins by playing billiards!

In everyone's eyes, billiards are just a game and a tool for leisure time to spend on entertainment and entertainment. No one would think that entertainment and entertainment can also make money.

It's like you go to a bar to drink and sing at KTV. It's all entertainment activities that cost money. No one would think that bars and KTV would make money for you.

Now, people have discovered that when playing billiards well, they can still make money!

Playing a game, you can still make money, and you can earn a family for a whole year, which completely subverts people's perception.

Those who are addicted to billiards on weekdays and think they are good at their skills are even more excited. Many of them are experts in various billiards halls, and now they are even more ready to get the bonus of those five gold coins.

There were many people participating in the registration, which was much beyond Phil's expectations. It was mainly because this was the first time that the billiards competition was held. Many participants did not have a clear understanding of their strength and thought they were very strong, so they signed up rashly.

Some applicants are just able to dominate the world in some small billiard halls, and they feel that they are invincible and must win the championship bonus of those five gold coins. Some people are not top-notch, but they think that even if they can't win the championship and runner-up, it's good to be able to make it into the top 16 and get the bonus.

Moreover, there are no registration fees for this competition, so there are many people who want to take advantage of the situation and try their luck. This also leads to a large number of applicants, and the key is that there are too many people involved, but the result is that they are mixed and have uneven strengths.

There are too many people who sign up, and the strength gap between them is quite large, so there is no group stage in the game. All of them are knockout matches. The first two rounds determine the winner in one set, and the third round starts with a three set and two win system.

The first three rounds of the competition were terrible. There were some geniuses pecking at each other and some masters beat the weak, and the competition was completely unappreciative.

After three rounds of screening, those who were just trying to try their luck were basically eliminated, and those who were left with some talented contestants. At this time, the competition was finally able to continue.

When it comes to the top 32, those who can stay are basically real masters. At this stage of the competition, it has reached a white-hot level, because further steps are the top 16, and there are bonuses to get in the top 16.

Compared with the top 16 and top 32, it is a huge difference. After all, one has money to get it, and the other has no money to get it. Although it is only a bonus of ten silver coins, it is a qualitative change for the contestants.

The competition between 32 and 16 was particularly intense, and every contestant showed his real skills.

At this time, Phil was negotiating the rental of the venue in the arena of Ashes City.

In the magic world, every city has an arena, and some cities have more than one arena. In addition to holding rallies, the main function of the arena is to fight between magicians. There are also audience seats around the arena, which can accommodate several audiences to watch.

Phil plans to rent an arena and move the next billiards game here.

"The sixteen-to-eight match will have to be played for one day, the eight-to-eight match will have to be played for one day, and the third-place competition and the final match will have to be played for one day. If you count this way, you will have to rent a three-day arena." Phil carefully calculated.

"Young Master, how much should the ticket be charged?" Old Harry asked.

"What tickets are collected!" Phil shook his head: "Not only can't collect tickets, I also have to create a live lottery to encourage everyone to come to the game. Let's do this, after each game, draw three 100-hour billiards hall membership cards!"
