"Is this kid going to get into trouble?" Li Xiu looked at the address sent by Chu Jun, and it was outside Chongshan City.

Li Xiu pondered for a moment and decided to go and take a look.

He found Ximen Guan, and luckily he hadn't started to modify the Ghost Mask Demon Costume, so Li Xiu took it back and used it first.

He went out with the ghost-faced demon costume, left Chongshan City, and headed towards the western slope.

No wonder there is no mobile phone signal here. Chongshan City is built deep in the mountains and forests. Except for some signal towers in the city, there is no mobile phone signal outside the city.

"How could Mr. Chu identify gems in a place like this?" Li Xiu came to the place Mr. Chu mentioned and saw that there were no buildings around, just a sloping grassy area.

However, it seems that the turf here is artificially laid, and the Southern Cross Federation does not produce this kind of grass at all.

"Li Xiu, this way." Li Xiu saw from a distance that Chu Jun was about to wave to him.

In addition to Chu Jun, there were a few other people there, an old man, a middle-aged man, and the others who looked like bodyguards or followers.

"Li Xiu, let me introduce you. This is Boss Zhou." Chu Jun introduced both parties.

However, he only said that the old man was Boss Zhou, and the middle-aged man's surname was Yu, so he was also called Mr. Yu.

"Boss Zhou, you see everyone is here, why don't we take a look at the gems?" Chu Jun said to the old man.

"No rush, let's play ball first." The old man was holding a golf club and gesturing at the ball on the ground. Then he putted the ball into the hole lightly.

"Boss Zhou, you are a great player. I can't beat you." Chu Jun said with a smile.

"Young people should not be too impatient. How about this? You can play another round with me. We don't have to go through the trouble of counting the scores. We will just count the strokes. If you can beat me by one stroke, I, an old man, will give you a gem. The more strokes you can beat me, the more gems I will give you today. What do you think?" Boss Zhou said with a smile.

"This..." Chu Jun hesitated and didn't say anything.

Li Xiu saw that Boss Zhou was deliberately making things difficult for Chu Jun, and he was afraid that he had no intention of doing business with Chu Jun today.

"Boss Zhou, does the number of strokes I win count too?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"Of course, young man, do you also like to play golf?" Boss Zhou looked at Li Xiu and asked with a smile.

"I didn't play much, but I was quite interested. In this era, there's no harm in exercising. What do you think?" Li Xiu said with a smile, pretending not to notice Chu Jun who had been winking at him.

"Okay, then let's play a game. The rules are the same. If you can beat me by one stroke, I will take out a gem. This is a standard 18-hole golf course, and the par is 72. When I was young, I shot within 60 strokes. Now that I'm old, I'm afraid I can't hit 60 strokes." Boss Zhou said as he got on an electric four-wheeler and drove to the tee.

Chu Jun pulled Li Xiu into another car and asked Li Xiu while driving: "Li Xiu, how good are you at playing golf? Boss Zhou was a professional when he was young and even broke records."

"It's okay, just tell me what the rules of golf are first?" Li Xiu said.

"Don't you know the rules?" Chu Jun stared at Li Xiu with wide eyes, and the car almost went out of control.

"Let's talk about the rules first." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"There's no hope anyway, so just treat it as an exercise." Chu Jun was speechless, but still told Li Xiu the rules.

To put it simply, there are a total of eighteen holes on this golf course. Just hit the ball into the eighteen holes in turn. The fewer times you use it, the better. The total length of the eighteen holes is about six thousand meters.

For a standard eighteen holes like this, the standard is seventy-two strokes. If someone like Boss Zhou can complete the eighteen holes with only about sixty strokes, it is already a professional level.

People who don't know how to play may score several hundred strokes. Amateurs, depending on their level, usually score more than 80 or 90 strokes, and more than 100 strokes are common.

"How many strokes do you want to win?" Li Xiu said to Chu Jun after listening to the rules.

"It would be best to win by more than five strokes, but since you don't even understand the rules, there's no need to feel any pressure, just play for fun." Chu Jun said.

Li Xiu smiled and said nothing. Chu Jun helped him get the qualification to enter the Brave Trial Field. This favor had to be repaid, and now was the perfect time to repay it.

After several people arrived at the tee, Boss Zhou first chose a club and then hit a few balls to warm up.

Mr. Yu, Li Xiu and Chu Jun also tried to hit a few balls to warm up and get a feel for it.

"This hole is a standard par 4 hole, and the distance is more than 200 meters." Boss Zhou said with a smile: "When I was young, I only used two strokes at most for this kind of par 4 hole, and I often hit double eagles."

Li Xiu didn't understand what he meant by the double eagle ball and looked at Chu Jun who was standing beside him.

Chu Jun explained in a low voice: "One stroke less than par is called a birdie, less than two strokes is called an eagle, less than three strokes is called a double eagle, and there are several other names."

"The highest par for a hole is five. If you can get a hole-in-one, it will be four strokes less than the par. What is that called?" Li Xiu asked.

"In theory, it's called Triple Eagle, but this kind of ball should be hard to come by. The distance of a par 5 hole is more than 400 meters, and even for professional players, it's hard to hit it that far. Of course, there are many trial participants who can hit it that far, but it's still hard to get a hole in one. I've basically never heard of a Triple Eagle ball." Chu Jun thought for a moment and said.

"It seems that you, young man, are not very familiar with golf." Boss Zhou said with a smile.

“You’ll get familiar with it after playing around.” Li Xiu replied.

"Okay, then let you fight first." Boss Zhou felt that this young man was not very humble and was a little unhappy.

Li Xiu did not refuse. He stood on the table, holding the cue, and got into position to hit the ball.

He had just seen several people's batting postures and had already practiced. For him, getting a hole-in-one at this distance was not a problem.

Boss Zhou looked at Li Xiu, his mouth slightly curled up, and thought to himself: "Young man, don't underestimate the sport of golf. There is a lot to learn. You even chose the wrong club, and you still want to play with me. Do you really think that an old man is easy to bully?"

While Boss Zhou was thinking, Li Xiu twisted his waist and swung his arms, and hit the ball out.

Watching the ball flying high into the sky, Boss Zhou was a little surprised. The ball was hit very far, with a good arc, and the direction did not seem to be off.

Boss Zhou quickly picked up the telescope and stared at the direction where the golf ball was flying.

To his surprise, the ball actually flew towards the golf hole on the green, but it seemed to be a little high and was about to miss the hole.

The next second, Boss Zhou's eyes widened.

The ball actually landed on the flag at the entrance of the hole. Blocked by the flag, the ball fell down and landed right into the hole.

"Is this beginner's luck?" Boss Zhou looked a little strange, but he still felt that this was just Li Xiu's luck.

"Hole in one, beautiful." Chu Jun shouted excitedly.

"Haha, beginners have good luck. The flag helped you a lot." Boss Zhou said.

Next it was Boss Zhou's turn. He took a deep breath and looked towards the green again and again, apparently hoping to get a hole-in-one as well.

Unfortunately, God was not kind to him. Although the ball hit the green, it failed to go into the hole.

Mr. Yu and Mr. Chu were even further apart, and Mr. Chu even went in the wrong direction.

Several people left the tee box and continued to play.

Boss Zhou only used two strokes, which was a good result worth celebrating on this standard par 4 hole. But with Li Xiu's hole-in-one, Boss Zhou couldn't be happy at all.

On the second shot, Boss Zhou let Li Xiu hit first, while he and Mr. Yu sat on the chairs in the back and chatted.

"Young people are too impatient. The wind is so strong now, but they don't know to avoid the wind. They are like newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers!" Boss Zhou smiled with his eyes narrowed as he looked at the flags swaying in the wind.

"How can young people be as patient as you, Mr. Zhou? They still have a lot to learn." Mr. Yu followed what Boss Zhou said.

"It's not my turn to teach. The world will teach them a lesson first." Boss Zhou's eyes almost narrowed as he watched Li Xiu hit the ball out in the wind.

Unlike other sports such as football and basketball, golf is more easily affected by the environment. The wind may not seem very strong, but when the ball is in the air and flies over long distances, it will be affected by the wind and seriously deviate from the target.

When Li Xiu hit the ball, it deviated greatly while flying in the air.

Boss Zhou was smiling at the beginning, but as the ball flew farther and farther and gradually began to fall, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

The ball was originally very off-course, but because of the influence of the wind, it gradually approached the hole and was about to fall into it.

Boss Zhou stood up suddenly, picked up the telescope and looked, just in time to see the moment the ball went into the hole.

"Young man, you are really lucky." Boss Zhou said with a forced smile.

"Luck is also part of strength." Li Xiu said lightly, without giving Boss Zhou any face.

Boss Zhou coughed lightly and said, "Take a rest first. When we finish playing, we'll go to the next hole together. The next hole is a par 5, which is not easy to play."

Turning around, the smile on Boss Zhou's face immediately disappeared, and he muttered, "Young people nowadays are really unlovable. They don't know how to be humble at all."

This hole is a par 3, and Boss Zhou scored a good score of two strokes, but he still couldn't be happy.

When it came to the third hole, Boss Zhou sat there in a dignified manner, thinking to himself: "I don't believe your luck can be that good. Even if you are lucky enough, the distance of this hole is 500 yards. I don't believe you can still get a hole-in-one by luck. If you can still get a hole-in-one, I will eat this club."

"Mr. Zhou, what are you thinking about that makes you so happy?" Mr. Yu asked, somewhat confused, when he saw Boss Zhou laughing.

"I was thinking that this young man has good talent, but his temper is not very good. If he can change his temper, he may become an excellent golf player in the future and may be able to be used by us." Boss Zhou said.

"I think he is doing very well now. If possible, I would like to talk to him later," said Mr. Yu.

"No way, you want to find him to participate in the trial, just based on his two goals, that's just luck..." Boss Zhou said in surprise: "Aren't you afraid that he will waste the opportunity you worked so hard to get?"

"I don't think it's luck. This young man is very capable," Mr. Yu said seriously.

"What's so great about that? You don't understand golf. The two shots just now were just luck. Who can hit a hole-in-one like that? I tell you, if he can hit a hole-in-one again this time, I will eat the club." Boss Zhou accidentally said what was in his heart.

"The distance is a bit far. It's really difficult to get a hole-in-one on a par-5 hole." As Mr. Yu was speaking, Li Xiu had already hit the ball out.

He still used the same iron club as before, which is usually used for teeing off on par 3 holes and is not suitable for hitting too far a distance.

Li Xiu has been using this club since the beginning and has never changed it.

At the moment of hitting the ball, the skill mark on Li Xiu's finger emerged, which was the E-level Blood-Boiling Skill.

As Li Xiu swung his hands and waist, the club head hit the white ball, knocking it directly out and flying high towards the green.

Seeing the ball flying high and far, and even flying towards the green, Boss Zhou suddenly stood up, walked directly to the tee in front, and looked carefully with a telescope.

“No way… It’s impossible… I can’t go in…” Boss Zhou’s facial expression kept changing, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and he almost shouted out what was in his heart.

Dang Lang!

The ball went into the hole again, cleanly and without any delay.

"This works too..." Boss Zhou stared blankly, feeling a little numb. He now doubted whether Li Xiu was a simulated robot. How could a normal person shoot so accurately?

This hole is more than 500 yards away, and Boss Zhou got a hole-in-one. He has been playing golf all his life, but he has never seen anyone play it this way.

Not to mention Boss Zhou, even Chu Jun was stunned. This was not playing basketball at all, it was just like a missile equipped with a positioning and tracking device.

"Li Xiu, you are so awesome. This ball is as accurate as a tracking missile." Chu Jun said to Li Xiu happily.

When Boss Zhou heard Chu Jun's words, he suddenly had an idea and stopped playing. He asked the bodyguard behind him to take the ball that Li Xiu had hit and cut it in half. He suspected that there was some kind of positioning device installed in it, otherwise how could it be so accurate.

Boss Zhou has forgotten that the ball belongs to him.

The result, of course, was nothing, which made Boss Zhou even more depressed.

Boss Zhou didn't want to play the next holes because there was nothing interesting to play. Li Xiu hit a hole-in-one every time. Boss Zhou felt that golf was a meaningless sport and he didn't want to play it anymore.

"No more playing. Just tell me how many gems you need." Seeing Li Xiu hit the hole-in-one again, Boss Zhou threw away the club in his hand.

"Boss Zhou, I don't want much. I will buy the five gems we agreed on before at the price we agreed on." Chu Jun said, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"You don't have to pay for it. I'll give you the gems. Can I borrow them from you, little brother?" Boss Zhou asked his bodyguard to bring a box full of gems. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of large gems. Some small ones were three or five carats, and some were more than ten carats. Moreover, they were all high-end gems like rubies and sapphires, not cheap gems like tourmalines.

After picking out five sapphires and giving them to Chu Jun, Boss Zhou looked at Li Xiu without even discussing the price.

"Boss Zhou, Li Xiu had no intention of offending you. This is all my fault..." Chu Jun said hurriedly.

"You misunderstood. I don't mean to embarrass him. I just want to have a chat with this young man and exchange experiences. I have no other intentions." Boss Zhou waved his hands quickly. He just wanted to know why Li Xiu could shoot so accurately.

"This..." Chu Jun was unsure and looked at Li Xiu.

"No problem." Li Xiu nodded and agreed.

Boss Zhou was overjoyed and pulled Li Xiu to his car. He asked impatiently, "Little brother, can you tell me if you have any tricks to play basketball? How can you play so accurately?"

“It’s not really a trick. I got a talent that enhances control and accuracy in a trial field before…” Li Xiu pushed all of this aside from the talent of the trial-taker.

"So, little brother, you are a trial-taker. It's not easy for a trial-taker to get a talent. I didn't expect that you have achieved so much at such a young age. Your future achievements are limitless..." Boss Zhou kept praising Li Xiu and was about to praise Li Xiu to the sky.

Chu Jun, who was in the car behind, had a more and more strange look on his face as he listened. Zhou Bailong, the Gem King of Hongsha City, actually fawned over a young man and was so happy about it. If this were to be told to others, no one would believe it.

Although the five main cities of the Southern Cross Federation are on an equal footing and no one can control anyone else, they are equal in name only.

But in fact, among the five main cities, Hongsha City has the most say, because Hongsha City produces the best rubies and sapphires in the world, and its strength is the strongest among the five main cities.

Of course, the city of Tyro can no longer be considered one of the five main cities. Some smaller cities with slightly better development are much better off than the current situation of Tyro City.

Zhou Bailong is known as the Gem King of Hongsha City. He owns shares in more or less one-third of the gem mines in Hongsha City.

He even has shares in many gem mines throughout the Southern Cross Federation.

Such a big shot, with only such a little hobby, happened to be controlled by Li Xiu. Zhou Bailong fell for it and kept asking about which trial field could allow him to have the same ability as Li Xiu. He seemed eager to try and seemed to want to give it a try himself.

Of course, even if Zhou Bailong really wanted to go, I’m afraid no one would dare to let him in.

If anything happened to Zhou Bailong, it would be a big deal for the Southern Cross Federation.

Zhou Bailong invited Li Xiu, Chu Jun and Mr. Yu to have dinner together, and even asked Li Xiu to sit next to him. They looked very affectionate.

Chu Jun originally wanted Li Xiu to help him identify the gems, but now there is no need for that. Zhou Bailong doesn't want his money at all. Five sapphires weighing more than three carats are all given to him for free. Why would you want to identify gems that are given away for free?
