Daydream Theatre - C54

“But the victory depends on the goal.” Of course, Tomoko would not care about the true meaning or the essence. Her goal was only one — — Victory.

She hit him hard, and the white ball bounced off the edge of the platform and crashed into the pile of red balls.

But just like the Master had predicted, there was a limit to Tomoko’s calculations. With so many densely packed red balls stuck together, it was impossible for Tomoko to calculate the path to hit the ball in a short amount of time.

The red balls scattered, but not a single one entered the bag.

This was a great situation for the Master, for I saw several red balls that could be put in the sack and could easily be moved on to the next.

“You’re wrong. A goal can win, but there is another way to win.” “This method is to force you to make mistakes.”

Once again, the Master hid the mother ball behind the colored balls. This time, he hid it even more firmly, as the mother ball was stuck closely to the two colored balls. As a result, it was practically impossible for Eiko to hit the red ball without touching the colored ball.

As expected, Tomoko couldn’t do it … I can’t help but admire this snooker.

Perhaps it was precisely because they couldn’t do such an accurate snooker that many of the contestants were diligently training the accuracy of their batting skills!

However, he didn’t know that by creating obstacles for his opponent, he would be able to obtain victory in the match!

The price for making a mistake was the penalty points. Tomoko tried a few times but to no avail, she either touched the colored ball or was unable to hit the red ball.

The Master then dropped a few groups of balls depending on whether the position of the mother ball was favorable or not. Then, he once again placed the mother ball in a position that Tomoko didn’t feel comfortable in.

Without question, Tomoko had met a real obstacle this time.

“Hahaha!” However, Tomoko suddenly became excited, “Master is truly worthy of being called a master, to be able to make such an accurate snooker! and forced me to make a mistake. Now, even if I can score all the goals, I’m afraid I won’t be able to beat the score that the master got? ”

Tomoko had already calculated the number of points she would get from the stage.

“Why don’t you try and do me a few snooker shots?” The master also smiled in response. It seemed that this sort of sparring between them was quite enjoyable.

“No, I like to end this quickly.” Tomoko conceded.

The surroundings were completely silent, as if everyone wasn’t used to this victory … Everyone seemed to have forgotten to clap. They stared blankly at the two snooker players who had already entered the Transformation Boundary.

Ah!” Master, you’ve finally won. ” I was the first to react, and then everyone erupted in thunderous applause.

Latimer found it funny. “Hey, isn’t this just a game …”

However, one game seemed to be enough because no one expected that there would be someone who would be able to win a match from this’ scoring machine ‘! Previously, Eiko had already convinced everyone.

Who would have thought that it would be reversed by ‘snooker’, which was reverted to its true nature by the Grandmaster!

This… That’s the spirit of snooker! In a situation where he was at a disadvantage, he could once again gain an advantage by creating obstacles for his opponent!

Everyone was mesmerized by this match.

The Master did not care about the crowd’s cheers, and said to Tomoko: “Miss Eiko, do you think it’s more interesting to end the battle quickly?”

“Interesting?”

“Mr President,” he turned to the Chairman, who seemed to be unsteady under this kind of situation, his body trembling non-stop, “Which competition do you think is more attractive?”

“Great Master, you …” The Chairman walked over slowly, as if he wanted to hold the Great Master’s hand. “Thank you, I …”

“Thank me for what?” The master was perplexed.

“Because …” The Chairman wanted to say something but hesitated, “Because…”

“It’s better if we quickly start the next round.” Tomoko urged from the side, “Isn’t this still a long way off before you can catch up to me?!”

What Tomoko said was right, humans had only won one round, it was not yet time to celebrate.

The progress of the ninth round was exactly the same as the previous round. The master was still doing all sorts of difficult snooker, while Tomoko’s batting efficiency had also decreased greatly.

Everyone seemed to think that the grandmaster of this game would definitely win. They whispered to each other, “Why didn’t I think of that? “Hmph, what do you mean by unexpected? I have no hope of defeating this Eiko with an attack, and I can only do it through unexpected means.” The essence of this sport was to create obstacles for the other side! “…” That’s right, it was just a pole entering a hole, how could anyone fall for it? “It would be so boring!” “It looks like I’ll have to train my defense in the future and give my opponent a shot when the time comes.”

I saw that it would take a lot of time for them to finish this match, so I asked the Chairman: “Mr President, what did you want to say just now? “Why should I thank the Grandmaster?”

“Because the Access Rate reversed.”

Ah!” Master, you’ve finally won. ” I was the first to react, and then everyone erupted in thunderous applause.

“Maybe everyone has really seen the charm of snooker sports?” The President revealed a smile and heaved a sigh of relief, “I originally thought that by speeding up the pace of the match and editing a brilliant goal, I would be able to raise the level of the Access Rate, but I failed. Miss Tomoko seemed to have given me a heavy blow, letting me know that people do not like this kind of monotonous stimulation. ”

“But now we’ve had enough.” I have also understood what the President has to say.

“Master is right, now the Master is giving the other side an obstacle like a foreplay, giving the audience plenty of suspense. The hearts of the spectators will be in the air, because they will not know if Master will be able to do it, or if Tomoko will be able to grab the opportunity to clear the stage. ”

“Maybe the audience doesn’t know how to think. It’s hard to say if they are fully immersed in the competition!” I now understand why the Master was discussing “concentration.”

“It is a wonderful thing that a person can enter a state of complete focus and lose all sense of self.” Hearing our conversation, Latimer also let out a sigh, “It’s just that the pace of people’s lives right now is too fast, and the superficial sensory stimuli they encounter are just too many, they have lost the ability to think deeply, and rarely get involved in one thing. I was just too engrossed in it! Because their performances were so brilliant, and each one of them made me wonder what the Master was going to do with Snooker, but the Master’s every choice was both unexpected and reasonable. I can’t think of a proper adjective to describe the master’s style, but I know — this game really attracts me. ”

How fascinating! I didn’t have time to answer and was completely engrossed in the game.

Therefore, in the face of such an exciting competition, what kind of accident would the Access Rate turn around? Every day, people were immersed in the chaotic and chaotic entertainment world. Suddenly, they found a place where they could quietly enjoy the essence of the competition, and they could finally experience the charm of it.

It was like walking through a noisy crowd all day long, only to suddenly open a door and discover that it was an empty soundproofing room … You’re finally able to talk to your inner self again.

How wonderful was this feeling? How close was it to the essence of life?

“Aha!” But Tomoko’s screams interrupted my thoughts, “Master, you made a mistake.”

“Then there’s no other way.” The master sighed and walked to the side.

I looked closely and saw that the master had not made the ball in time. The ball had slipped a little, so it was probably half a ball away from its best spot … This is… That’s not good.

Because with Tomoko’s accuracy, the following situation seemed to be…

I want to comfort the master, even if it’s just a victory in a game, it’s a human…

But before I could get excited, happy, or emotional, Tomoko placed her baseball bat on the table, turned around, and walked towards the exit of the ballroom, pushing through the crowd.

“Miss Tomoko?” Latimer blurted out, in his desperation, he had forgotten Tomoko’s current identity.

“Miss Tomoko!” I’m also very confused, why did he suddenly leave when he was about to win? What did that mean? Are you looking down on us humans?

But Tomoko had only left four words behind: “No meaning.” She then pushed the door open and went out.

No meaning? Does it mean there’s no point in playing with humans? I strode out after her. I wanted her to explain. I have disliked her since I met her, as if she had no regard for us human beings — the human beings who made her.

However, I forgot that I was in an empty car.

I was in too much of a hurry to catch up, so I staggered and fell head-first onto the ground, fainting …

“David?”

“…”

“David, are you still angry?”

“Ah, it’s the Mr Latimer.”

“Of course it’s me, but that’s not important.”

“What anger?”

“Tomoko? Didn’t you think that she looked down on humans? ”

“Isn’t it?”

“Do you know that as a robot, she might dislike her own ability?”

“Hate you?”

“Well, that’s why she’d say it was pointless.”

“What is it?”

“Maybe it’s a competition. She doesn’t think there’s any point in continuing to compete.”

“Was it because the master made a mistake?”

“She understood the true meaning of this movement and therefore felt that her victory was meaningless.”

“…” Would a machine understand this? will there be a sense of meaning? ”

“Haha, maybe it’s not like that. I heard Lil ‘White’s call.”

“Lil ‘White’s call?”

“The preparation of the serum antibody should have been completed.”

“…”

“But Mr. David, I am very interested in you.”

“Me?”

The “Attack and Defence Game” was over.
