In general competitions, the score is set at 301, 501, etc. The more common one is 501. For example, the two competitions that Chen Xu participated in, including this one, were both 501.

Before the game, each player's initial score is 501 points. If a player hits a certain score, for example 20, 20 points will be subtracted from 501. Whoever's score reaches zero first wins.

In general, each player throws 10 rounds of darts, with three darts in each round. If after 10 rounds, no one reduces the score to zero, then the player with the lowest score wins.

There are some rules, for example, if you only have 50 points left and you hit 60 points, it is called a dart bust. You still have to start over.

In addition, the last dart is generally required to hit the double zone to count, which is called "collecting the dart".

It is these regulations that add uncertainty to the competition and make it more interesting.

In this way, in addition to being able to throw accurately, players also need to be able to calculate points and figure out how to win with the least number of darts. At the same time, players must be very familiar with all the scoring areas on the target, because you never know which score you will need in the game.

Under this competition system, theoretically, the fastest victory would require three rounds and nine darts.

The highest score on the target is 60 points. If the first seven darts hit the target, it will be 420 points, and there will be 81 points left. The eighth dart hits the triple zone of 17, which is 51. Finally, there are 30 points left, and you only need to hit the double zone of 15 to collect the dart.

Of course, this is just the most ideal state. In fact, even the best players in the world cannot always hit the target, because people's state is ups and downs, and there will always be times when they fail.

Even someone like Chen Xu who has used cheats cannot guarantee a 100% hit rate, so he has to concentrate every time he competes.

This time, the Feiyun Cup had so many participants that the preliminary rounds alone took a whole day. In the end, a total of 16 people entered the finals tomorrow.

Except for Chen Xu, the other fifteen people are all well-known masters in the industry, and half of them are professional players.

The finals on the second day were much more grand than the day before, with many reporters invited to the scene and even several cameras filming. Chen Xu felt a little guilty about this, but when he thought of the 700,000 yuan prize money, he gritted his teeth and accepted it.

As long as he wants to earn prize money from dart competitions, sooner or later he will attract media attention, especially after he goes abroad to compete and wins a few international championships, it will be hard for him not to become famous.

He could only comfort himself that darts was a niche sport, the media wouldn't pay too much attention to it, and the popularity wouldn't be that high. If there was news, it would be gone in a flash.

However, in today's game, he still let his guard down and deliberately missed several times, which took him one or two more rounds to finish the game.

Combined with the two previous competitions, he had a clear understanding of the level of the amateur circle. Even those professional players were just so-so in his opinion and could not pose any threat to him.

In the end, he successfully won his third championship and received a prize of 700,000 yuan from the CEO of Feiyun Group on the podium. In front of him, a video camera and several cameras were facing them. His face was frozen with laughter.

The reporters finally finished filming, and Chen Xu was about to leave the stage when the CEO of Feiyun Group invited him to attend the celebration banquet in the evening. He agreed without much thought.

After all, I will still have to stay in this circle in the future, so I have to give face to the financial sponsor.

Next, another reporter interviewed him, which was the treatment of a champion. He did not refuse and talked about the reasons why he got involved in the sport of darts, but in fact, it was all made up.

If he told them the truth, it would be too high-profile. After all, he had only been playing darts for less than a year, and if he really told them the truth, others would probably think he was bragging.

When Chen Xu advanced to the finals, the organizers arranged a room for him. He returned to the room to rest for a while, and just after taking a shower, someone came to visit him.

"I'm Wu Bing from Feiyun Club, and this is Zheng Tong, the vice president of the City Darts Association." The man introduced himself.

After listening to their self-introductions, Chen Xu guessed their purpose and asked, "Hello, I wonder why you are here to see me..."

Wu Bing is a woman in her thirties with a large frame. She looks like she was born into an athlete family. She said, "Firstly, we are here to congratulate Mr. Chen on winning the first Feiyun Cup. Secondly, we want to ask if you have any plans to enter the professional circle?"

Chen Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "I do have this plan, but I have some businesses that I cannot get away from."

In fact, it is not difficult to become a professional darts player, but the procedures are a bit cumbersome. He has never been able to find the time, and darts is not an Olympic event. The domestic commercial league has just started, and the prize money is not high.

It would be fine if the competition was held in this city, but if it had to be held in another city, it would take too much time and it would not be worth it for that little prize money.

The ones with the highest bonuses are the several large foreign business alliances. But joining these alliances also requires a threshold, and the procedures for joining are more complicated. He also has to go abroad, and he doesn't have the time for that at the moment.

Wu Bing said happily, "Mr. Chen, as long as you have this intention, we can provide you with all the conveniences. Although our Feiyun Club has not been established for a long time, we are determined to become the best darts club in the country. As long as you are willing to join us, I promise that you will be able to participate in the highest level international darts competitions next year. With your strength, you will definitely be able to achieve good results."

Wu Bing immediately took out a document and discussed it with him in detail.

Half an hour later, Chen Xu had a clear idea in his mind. Their conditions sounded quite generous. However, for the sake of caution, he did not make a decision immediately and said, "Well, I need a few days to think about it."

"I hope Mr. Chen can give us a reply as soon as possible. Then I won't disturb your rest." There was some disappointment on Wu Bing's face, and then he left with the people who came with him.

In the evening, on his way to a banquet, Chen Xu unexpectedly ran into the girl who had chatted with him yesterday morning.

"So your name is Chen Xu. I didn't expect you to be so good." The girl was a little excited when she saw him. "I watched all your matches. You crushed your opponents the whole time."

"It's you." Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Chen Xu didn't want to be too cold, so he just said hello.

The girl asked curiously, "By the way, why didn't your girlfriend come with you?"

"She has work. Well, I'm going over there. Bye." Chen Xu turned into another corridor and left with quickened pace.

The girl didn’t chase him, but shouted from behind, “We’ve agreed that I will be your first fan from now on, and I will create a group for you.”

Chen Xu gained a fan out of nowhere, which didn't feel bad.

…………

The next morning, Chen Xu left. He had been away for two days and had no idea what was going on at the noodle shop. Although the employees hadn't called him and there shouldn't be any problems, he was still a little worried.

The branch employees were all newly recruited and had only been working there for a month, so they had not yet established sufficient trust.

He returned to the store and was relieved to see that everything was normal.

The newly promoted store manager reported to him, "Boss, everything has been normal these two days. The boss's wife comes to settle the accounts in the evening."

The proprietress he was referring to was of course Luo Xiyun.

Every time Chen Xu heard this name, he wanted to laugh. It didn't match Luo Xiyun's temperament at all.

It was just out of some bad taste that she never corrected them. So the employees kept yelling at her like this, sometimes in front of her. The first time, she was embarrassed.

After he finished his report and went out, Chen Xu took out his cell phone and called Luo Xiyun, "Boss lady, what are you doing?"

"You're back?" Luo Xiyun's tone was somewhat delighted. "I'm sorry I couldn't go with you. I saw the news, and they praised you a lot, almost saying you were the best dart player in the country."

"Not yet, but soon." Chen Xu said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while.

Suddenly, Luo Xiyun asked, "Are you free tonight?"

Chen Xu said, "If I want to accompany you, I'm free anytime."

"I want you to go with me to meet someone."

Chen Xu heard something different from her tone and asked her, "Are you going to meet the parents?"

"Why, you don't want to?"

Chen Xu was stunned. Did he really get it right?
