"Luck is also built upon a certain level of skill."

Although there had been conflicts between Huang He and Jiang Tao, he still gave a very fair assessment of Jiang Tao.

"Indeed."

Ma Junting shrugged.

He had played golf for many years and had only hit a hole-in-one three times in total.

The number equaled the times Jiang Tao had hit a hole-in-one in today’s game.

Moreover, the expenditures when he hit a hole-in-one were far more than Jiang Tao’s.

He not only gave the caddies red envelopes but also gave red envelopes to all the staff of the golf course.

He also covered the green fees for all customers in the group, plus treated them to a meal and so on.

Each time he hit a hole-in-one, the expense was at least seventy or eighty thousand.

"If he can maintain this big advantage to the 18th hole, I must invite him to join our team."

Ma Junting looked at Huang He with his eyes full of excitement.

"I was thinking the same."

Huang He smiled, looking at Jiang Tao with more consideration in his eyes.

Just now, seeing Jiang Tao hit three hole-in-ones triggered the thought of recruiting him.

The prize for the tenth Beijing Business Alliance Mixed Golf Team Competition to be held in Beijing Lake Heart Island in 10 days was still very attractive.

Even for well-known rich heirs like Huang He and Ma Junting, it was a huge sum of money.

"Coming here today was definitely the right decision, we’ve struck gold."

"We’d better act early so that others don’t get the jump on us."

Ma Junting looked at Jiang Tao in the distance, eagerly anticipating his next performance.

On the other side.

"Go on, go on, if you can hit another hole-in-one this time, Old Du will be completely convinced by you."

"I will cover all your red envelopes too!"

After scoring a par with four strokes at the third hole, Du Taoming eagerly urged Jiang Tao to keep playing.

According to the rules, the player with fewer strokes in the last hole tees off first, naturally, it was Jiang Tao who had fewer strokes.

Jiang Tao chuckled and said, "Haha, Old Du, you said it, you can’t go back on your word."

Du Taoming laughed heartily and said, "Nonsense! When have I, Du Taoming, ever gone back on my word?"

"If he hits another hole-in-one this time, I’ll learn from him on the spot!"

"Even if it’s not a hole-in-one, a birdie or an eagle is still impressive!"

"There’s no way this is his first time playing golf, no way!"

"Comparison truly gets under your skin! Compared to him, my ten years of playing golf have gone to waste."

"Watch closely, watch closely, he’s about to tee off! The moment of witnessing a miracle is upon us!"

As Jiang Tao walked to the tee box,

everyone’s eyes, including those of Huang He and Ma Junting in the distance, locked onto Jiang Tao.

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve triggered the special task: Showstopper!]

[Task Name]: Showstopper!

[Task Content]: Conquer all the spectators with your skills.

Hit at least half the holes as hole-in-ones in a complete golf match!

[Task Reward]: 1.66 million cash, Constitution +5, Charm Value +5, Health Value +5, Item List +5.

"Showstopper? Hit at least half the holes as hole-in-ones?"

Seeing the task prompt suddenly appear on his retina, Jiang Tao was first shocked and then overjoyed!

Originally, to not draw too much attention, he had planned to play casually and go easy on this hole.

After all, three consecutive hole-in-ones had already caused quite a stir.

If it were four in a row, it would cause an even bigger commotion!

Moreover, he would have to keep giving out red envelopes, which would be more trouble than it’s worth!

But seeing that a special task was triggered, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up, and he quickly adjusted his strategy.

Considering the abundant rewards of 1.66 million cash and the Constitution, Charm Value, Health Value, and Item List bonuses,

let there be a commotion!

Compared to the benefits this event would bring him, the small red envelopes for the caddies were insignificant!

Occasionally showing off and enjoying the admiration of others wasn’t bad either!

"Accept the task!"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Tao’s mind moved, and he accepted the task.

Immediately, his attitude became serious.

The first three times, he hadn’t planned to hit a hole-in-one; he struck casually, and the ball just went in.

After accepting the [Showstopper] task this time, he felt a bit nervous instead.

"Calm, calm, I can do it."

Jiang Tao glanced at the fourth hole not far away, made a brief estimation in his mind, and swung to hit the ball again.

Clang!!!

Whoosh—

With a loud noise, the golf ball was again powerfully struck by Jiang Tao.

The trajectory of the ball was vastly different from the arc usually seen in professional players’ shots.

Every time Jiang Tao struck, the ball traveled almost in a straight line, rather than in a predictable arc.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the golf ball was once again driven onto the green by Jiang Tao.

Rolling—

The ball rolled about 4 yards on the smooth, mowed turf of the green, passing the hole but not going in.

"Oh, so close! Just missed it by a bit!"

"Even though it wasn’t a hole-in-one this time, the eagle should be secured!"

"Three consecutive hole-in-ones followed by an eagle, that’s very strong!"

"As expected, Lady Luck doesn’t always favor the same person."

"This level is already impressive."

As Jiang Tao’s ball finished its roll, the crowd buzzed with comments again.

"Didn’t make it!"

Jiang Tao exhaled lightly, feeling slightly disappointed.

The first three strokes weren’t even intended to score; he struck casually, and they went in.

The fourth stroke, he was more focused and attentive, yet it didn’t go in.

"It’s alright, stay calm, there are 14 more holes, there’s still a chance."

"I only need to hit 6 more hole-in-ones in the next 14 holes to complete the task."

Jiang Tao took a deep breath, silently motivating himself.

"Not bad, not bad! Xiao Jiang, you must have some freakish talent! Not joining the national golf team would be a shame!"

After seeing where Jiang Tao’s ball landed from his strike, Du Taoming praised him with a smile.

Despite not seeing what he hoped to see, Du Taoming felt this was the most normal occurrence.

At this moment, he felt like he was playing the same game as Jiang Tao again.

In the distance, Huang He and Ma Junting didn’t show any disappointment when Jiang Tao didn’t make the hole.

Unless something unexpected happened, Jiang Tao should be able to hole the ball in the next stroke.

The 4-par hole, holed in two strokes, called an "eagle" in the industry, was a very solid result.

Even among professional players, Jiang Tao’s performance at this moment was exceptionally high-level.

The game went on.

Jiang Tao didn’t let anyone down; with his second stroke, using a putter, he easily holed the ball, which was about 30 centimeters from the hole.

This hole, he scored two strokes fewer than the par of 4, achieving a perfect "eagle".

This time, Du Taoming wasn’t as lucky and needed 5 strokes to hole the ball.

Soon enough, both sides arrived at the 5th hole.

"Phew..."

This time, Jiang Tao learned from past experiences, trying to keep a calm mind and completely relax.

No longer thinking about hitting a hole-in-one or completing the task, he immersed himself fully in this new game he had just begun to explore.

"Whether the ball goes in or not isn’t up to me to decide. What I need to do is to do my best, and leave the rest to fate."

Jiang Tao focused intently on the fifth hole not far away, silently calculating the distance and the strength needed.

Body twist, swing!

Clang!!!

Whoosh—

Again, a crisp loud sound, and the golf ball shot off from the teeing ground with a whoosh!

Without any surprise, Jiang Tao struck the ball fiercely and sent it flying onto the green again.

The golf ball hit roughly five yards from the hole with a thud on the neatly groomed green.

Rolling—

The ball, with its remaining energy, continued rolling towards the hole.

yards!

yards!

yards!

yard!

Ding~

With a crisp sound, the ball fell right into the hole!

In the same round, Jiang Tao showcased his extraordinary skill of a hole-in-one for the fourth time!
