Data Mahakuasa - Bab 59
Uncle Chen took in a deep breath and said, “Baik, let’s just hope that he has only gotten lucky two times in a row”
“saya berharap begitu,” Uncle Wang said heavily with his arms crossed. He nodded as he looked at Cheng Nuo.
Standing before the line, Cheng Nuo held the third bamboo ring in his hand. He peered at Uncle Chen and Uncle Wang as he smiled inconspicuously. He quietly calculated the data in his head.
“Jarak: 311.35 cm, arah: 15.29 degrees NW… mass of bamboo ring: 22.45 g, Diameter: 10.20 cm, spring constant: 56.78 newtons per meter… Wind speed: 2.29 MS, Direction: 68.21 degrees SW…”
“Baiklah! Perhatikan baik-baik.”
Cheng Nuo murmured as he finished his calculation.
“Starting height: 1.32 m, arah: 14.51 derajat ke kiri, kecenderungan: 20.38 degrees downwards, memaksa: 16.23 newtons.”
Cheng Nuo shoved the ring out. It plunged quickly towards the floor.
Menabrak! Pang—!
The ring accurately fell around a doll. Namun, saat berikutnya…
Cheng Nuo had used too much strength, thus the ring was moving very fast upon impact. At the moment it touched down, it immediately bounced off due to the elasticity.
Para penonton menghela nafas. That was a close one…
Uncle Wang and Uncle Chen looked at each other with cold smiles.
“Ha… he was just lucky…”
Lagipula, the elasticity of the bamboo material would make the movement of the rings rather unpredictable.
Even before his thought had been completely formulated, Uncle Wang was dragged back to reality by the commotion from the crowd.
Uncle Wang looked back in confusion. His eyes were immediately fixed at what was happening. Then his mouth was wide open in disbelief.
The bamboo ring that had bounced off right before his eyes had landed nicely around a toy car!
“Bagaimana ini mungkin!? It bounced off so fast…”
Mendadak, Uncle Wang had a frightening idea.
When the ring bounced off, the spectators were very certain that Cheng Nuo was not going to get anything this round.
But then the most incredible thing had happened right in front of them.
The ring didn’t fly off in any random direction. It rose almost vertically off the ground. Under the influence of the wind and its own weight, it made a few flips and perfectly landed on the toy car. Kali ini, the bamboo ring hardly bounced off at all.
Itu sempurna!
The spectators all cheered at Cheng Nuo’s clever trick.
The impossible was made possible right in front of them. They all looked at Cheng Nuo as if he was a wizard.
“Bagaimana mungkin? Bagaimana dia melakukannya??!”
“Luar biasa! You can do THAT?!”
“Ya ampun, Saya tidak percaya mata saya!”
“He’s too good, hanya itu yang bisa saya katakan!”
…
Among the cries of astonishment, Cheng Nuo looked confident, but Uncle Wang was full of embarrassment.
He looked at the young man in the mountaineering outfit. The young man appeared exceptionally energetic and assertive under the warm lighting. The scene forced out a sense of helplessness in Uncle Wang.
Dia menghela nafas dan berkata, “Chen, maybe we shouldn’t have disturbed him in the first place.”
Uncle Chen’s mouth twitched. Dia membalas, “Ya, di panggung ini, you simply can’t stop him from winning.”
Uncle Wang paused for a while before asking in a hoarse voice, “Apa yang harus kita lakukan sekarang?”
Uncle Wang had lost his face.
He had cheated by using better rings than Cheng Nuo. But Cheng Nuo had still defeated him!
Uncle Chen scratched his chin and laughed. “Saudara Wang, terus terang, you have little chance of winning now. Oh, sebenarnya, tidak ada kesempatan sama sekali!”
That rendered Uncle Wang speechless. “Why are you so happy when we are losing?”
Then Uncle Chen said, “But… even if you lose, we might not be losing money.”
“Oh?” Uncle Wang was instantly excited. “Mengapa demikian?”
Uncle Chen pointed at the crowd that had grown around them as he chuckled. “Kamu melihat, they are our potential customers!”
“Pikirkan tentang itu. The more prizes he gets, the more people there will be watching. Seeing what’s happening, they definitely will not be able to resist having a try at it. As long as even half of them try, we would not be losing any money.”
“Kamu benar!” Uncle Wang’s eyes immediately lit up. He clapped and laughed out loud. But he suddenly realized that something was amiss. “Tunggu, but wouldn’t it be you who is going to profit? I still have to buy snacks for him!”
Uncle Chen patted Uncle Wang’s shoulder and said, “Apa yang kamu bicarakan? You have always treated my son so well as if he’s your own son. saya sangat menghargainya. Jangan khawatir, you’ll get half of the profits!”
“Baiklah, Saudara laki-laki!” Uncle Wang held on to Uncle Chen’s shoulder.
Uncle Chen couldn’t help reveal his yellow teeth in excitement as he saw more and more people stopping to watch. The mountain breeze gently flipped at his green straw hat. The green reflections glimmered on his face. It was a splendid scene.
“Hei, what are you chatting about?” A sudden voice woke the two of them up from their daydream.
A huge face appeared before them. It was Cheng Nuo.
“No-no-nothing…” Uncle Wang smiled awkwardly.
Uncle Chen was more natural. He put on a fake smile and asked, “Kenapa kamu berhenti? You still have more tries!”
“Oh! I just want to say something to Mr. Wang.” Cheng Nuo nodded and pointed at Uncle Wang.
“Iya?” Uncle Chen replied on behalf of Uncle Wang.
“Bapak. Wang, perhatikan baik-baik. Have you learned the trick now?” Cheng Nuo asked calmly.
Uncle Wang was speechless.
He almost blurted out vulgarities.
Itu terlalu memalukan.
“Pemuda, jangan terlalu sombong. You’ve only got three of them, it’s still not the end yet!” Uncle Wang said as he clenched his teeth.
“Saya melihat…” Cheng Nuo looked at Uncle Wang from head to toe and nodded. “Seems like you haven’t learned the trick. Tidak apa-apa, I will demonstrate a few more times. Perhatikan baik-baik!”
Setelah kata terakhir, Cheng Nuo immediately swung the ring out from where he was standing.
It again caught Uncle Wang by surprise.
Cheng Nuo was more than ten meters away from the toss line!
