Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

”Junior Sister Ye Jian, all the best! All the best!”

”Wang Jin, don’t be so arrogant. Junior Sister Ye Jian is very strong!”

The young man holding the microphone was called Wang Jin. He was a professional at playing darts. It was even said that he had participated in competitions before!

Amidst the applause, Ye Jian wore a smile on her face and walked out calmly. She looked at the dartboard that was mostly red, black, and white. Using the center of the dartboard as the starting point, lines moved out like the rays of the sun. The circle in the center was the smallest and the circle expanded outwards. There were a total of five circles.

On the edge of the board, the numbers 1 to 20 were written on it.

Ye Jian looked at the dartboard. She had never played this before so she didn’t know the rules. She could only guess how the points were counted.

”Darts started out from the 15th century in England. During the 1930s, darts playing started becoming a profession. There are professional associations and professional competitions. I was the one who brought the few of us into the game. We have been playing for a few years.” Wang Jin started by introducing the origins of the dart game. You could tell that he respected this sport.

He explained the score sections, the double score, the triple score, and the central circle in detail. This would affect the score so he needed to explain them clearly.

”Do you mean that the circle in the center doesn’t have the highest score? The highest score is the triple 20?” Ye Jian realized that her guesses were all wrong after listening to the explanation.

Wang Jin nodded. He smiled and said, ”People that never play darts before normally think that the center point has the highest score. Actually, the highest score is triple 20.”

The students watching them gasped too. Ye Jian wasn’t the only one who didn’t know this. Many students didn’t know it either.

”It sounds very impressive. I didn’t know that Wang Jin and his friends are so professional.”

”That’s right. I only just found out that the middle circle doesn’t give the highest score.”

”Haha, me too. I always thought that people who hit the center circle were amazing!”

The people below the stage discussed among themselves softly. On the stage, Wang Jin pointed to the center circle and said, ”We will not be playing 301 or 501 today. We will see who can shoot the designated area in one try. We will not count any scores this time. We will only count the number of times we hit the spot.”

The 301 Wang Jin mentioned was a type of competition. There were ten rounds and every player would start with 301 points. The player would throw the dart and the points would decrease according to the area they hit. The first person to reach zero would win.

501 was the same as 301. However, the points each player started with was 501 instead.

These weren’t the only games in darts. There were many other games too. However, Wang Jin couldn’t explain all of them. The students below wouldn’t be interested too.

As for Ye Jian… she felt that she should just stick to target shooting. She didn’t understand what Wang Jin said by 301 and 501.

She smiled and said, ”Okay. We will only count the number of times and not the scores. I will not understand how you count the scores anyway.”

”But, just purely counting the number of times isn’t fun, right? Let’s make it more interesting. For instance, we can play two darts in one shot and three darts in one shot. How about that?” Wang Jin was a professional dart player. Hence, even during recreational games, he wanted to make it more interesting and difficult.

Two darts in one shot basically meant that the player would throw two darts at one time so that one or both of the darts would hit the dartboard. This was a game played by novice players.

Below the stage, the seniors laughed and scolded Wang Jin for being shameless. He was bullying Ye Jian because this was her first time playing.

Unexpectedly, after thinking for a while, Ye Jian nodded and said, ”I think that this is more challenging. How about this, I want to add another rule too. The person who loses will have to do 60 sit-ups in one minute. What do you think?”

Since the other party came up with the rules, she would come up with the punishment.
