At nine o'clock in the evening, Melbourne is brightly lit, and it looks like daylight.

Sitting in the taxi, the flickering neon lights on the side of the road reflected on Shiraishi's face, but it could not reveal his inner thoughts. In the car, there were only two people, he and the driver, and as for Nanako, she didn't take her out because of special reasons.

The person who called him before was the trader that Yukimura was talking about. But no matter how he didn't guess, the person who had seen Yukimura in the United States turned out to be that guy.

"That's right, he said second, no one dares to fight for that first."

As for the deal that the other party said, he was indeed a little interested, after all, it was a real world No. 1 player. Moreover, he also has a plan in his heart, and he wants to use this incident to clarify something.

In the driver's seat, the white driver looked in the rearview mirror, the handsome face that was as calm as water. Those eyes as deep as the stars almost sank into it. He raised his head in a panic, pulled over the car, and said softly, "Sir, it's here." ”

"Oh"

Shiraishi came back to his senses, paid the fare, and got out of the car to look at the café in front of him. Suddenly, a familiar figure walked over, looking at the slightly chubby figure, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.

"Long time no see, Liang Jun!"

Seeing Bai Shi, a touch of embarrassment flashed on the face of the oncoming young man, but he immediately turned into a bright smile, he stretched out his hand to shake Bai Shi, and said with a smile: "Indeed, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Liang Xiaoxin, the former No.2 of the Chinese team, was unable to attend this World Cup because he was too old.

"Let's go, the boss is waiting for you inside."

He made a gesture of please and walked into the café with Shiraishi. And after they entered the door, some Asians who looked like passers-by came around one after another, staying in the corner in twos and threes, leaving and coming back from time to time.

On the other side, Bai Shi was led into the room by Liang Xiaoxin, but he turned left and right and came to the basement floor.

As soon as he entered, Shiraishi felt a noisy smell and an atmosphere of luxury. Many men and women gathered in the center of the venue, twisting their bodies and venting their youth.

"Bar?"

He squinted, a little surprised that the man had met him in this place. Knowing this, he would have asked for a different meeting place. He likes a dull atmosphere by nature, and he is very uncomfortable with this kind of noisy and noisy place, and he can't stay. With a move in his heart, he separated himself from this atmosphere, not wanting to be too contaminated with this atmosphere.

Doing so also saves Nanako from having other thoughts in her heart.

The aura on Bai Shi's body changed, and as a person who had crossed that realm, Liang Xiaoxin naturally noticed it. He frowned, he wasn't very satisfied with the guy's introduction to the place.

"I just hope it doesn't have an impact, or else"

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and in a box in a bar, a young man who was talking to someone sneezed, only to feel a chill in his back.

After several twists and turns, Shiraishi was amazed that this place was really big, and after a short time, they finally came to their destination.

Liang Xiaoxin stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after waiting for a while, he saw a familiar head poking out of it, and when he saw them, the man smiled and opened the door.

"Chen Lejia? This guy is no matter what, after all, they are all from the same country. ”

Shiraishi walked in, there were some melons and fruits on the table in the room, and a song was playing, and he listened to the melody, it was 'silence is golden', and the singer was Leslie Cheung, a superstar who is very famous in Japan. Of course, for Shiraishi, Zhang is no stranger.

His eyes were fixed on a young man in his twenties sitting on the sofa.

"Long time no see, Shiraishi-kun!" The man saw him and stood up and invited him to sit down.

In this regard, Shiraishi was a little surprised. As two people, there is no need for the other party to be so polite to him. Could it be that this so-called transaction is the other party's request for itself?

As for Liang Chen and the others, after a faint surprise, they all turned into relief.

Although Shiraishi can't compare to him at this time, no, it can't be compared to 'him' at all. But his potential can no longer be questioned after the day's play. They have reason to believe that once Shiraishi enters the profession, he will definitely not be inferior to the Swiss player who shined before - Roger. Federer.

"Long time no see, Li Jun!"

Baishi didn't dare to hold it up, the other party was really the first person in tennis, and in today's tennis world, not to mention the person who is comparable to him, that is, the one who can catch up with him can't find the second person.

Li Xiao, nicknamed 'Swordsman' because he likes to drink, is also called 'Drunken Swordsman', ranked No. 1 in the ATP, more than 500 points ahead of Hewitt in second. In 1990, at the age of sixteen, he entered the profession with a record of 1,136 wins and 24 losses. And that defeat without even a fraction of a victory was in the first two years of his career, and after that, he has not tasted defeat.

Some people refer to him and Minamijiro as the Oriental Duo because these are two men who changed the world tennis landscape.

Among them, Minamijiro was active from 87 to 92, and after that, it was Li Xiao. Strangely, the two had a period of time when they crossed paths, but they never faced each other once.

A reporter once wrote a report about who is stronger among Japanese samurai and Chinese swordsman.

Among them, the match data of the two is listed, such as the service score rate and the winning rate of the first hand. Surprisingly, the data of the two are extremely close, and the style of the game is the same, crisp and neat, every shot must hit, worthy of the title of samurai and swordsman.

Thinking of this, Bai Shi was even more curious about Li Xiao's purpose.

He and Li Xiao sat on one side, while Liang Chen and the others sat on the other side, without saying a word.

The atmosphere was a little depressing, and at this time, the singing resumed. Replaced with the familiar classic song - the difficult scripture, in an instant, Shiraishi seemed to return to his previous life, and watched TVB TV dramas in front of the TV every day.

His heart moved, and he asked in English: "Li Jun is from Hong Kong?" ”

"Hong Kong?" Hearing Bai Shi's words, Li Xiao shook his head. "I'm originally from Anhui Province and grew up in Shanghai, and that's where I got into tennis."

"But Shiraishi-kun, why do you ask this?"

Bai Shi's face suddenly froze, yes, he was a good Chinese in his previous life, he was familiar with TVB's TV series, and he was no stranger to Cantonese songs, but in this life

"I didn't ask too much if I knew it" Shiraishi was embarrassed, but he suddenly thought of the previous song and said: "I heard the previous song, and that Zhang Jun is also very famous in Japan." "But there is a bit of a forced explanation.

Li Xiao glanced at him deeply, and then said, "Presumably, Yukimura-kun has already passed on my words to you, right?" "Hmm!" Shiraishi nodded, but said no more.

"Okay, I'll just get to the point." Li Xiao's gaze became serious, and Bai Shi could even feel the flow of aura on his body, dark and obscure, with a sense of danger.

At this time, Liang Chen and the others also glanced over.

Li Xiao looked at him, his eyes seemed to have a cold lightning light: "I hope that Bai Shijun will join the Chinese team!" ”

Rumble!

Shiraishi only felt that his scalp was numb, and when the other party spoke, a strong oppressive force threw him. Moreover, what the other party said also made his heart tremble, joining the Chinese team? What is this?

He tried to calm down and calmly said, "Why? ”

Liang Chen and the others looked at Li Xiao and listened to him say: "Because, we need you, and you also need the Chinese team!" The voice seemed to be sure of the facts.

Shiraishi calmly replied, "Not enough! ”

"What?" Chen Lejia frowned and asked, but was pressed down by Liang Xiaoxin, but he also frowned and looked at Baishi. The invitation of the world's No.1, if you are a tennis player who has not entered the profession, why should you agree without thinking about it, right?

"Not enough!" Bai Shi looked directly into Li Xiao's eyes and said calmly: "Since it is a transaction, I want to know the reason and the benefits I can get!" ”

"Benefits?" Li Xiao was slightly flustered, but immediately smiled: "My guidance, isn't this enough?" ”

Seeing that Bai Shi didn't answer, Chen Lejia interjected: "Xingcun Jingshi, after a day of training by Brother Li, he successfully crossed that hurdle, and the second turn is in sight!" ”

But Bai Shi's heart was firm, and his voice was still calm: "I've already crossed three turns!" ”

"Three turns?" Who knows, listening to his voice, Li Xiao laughed: "Who told you that three turns is the limit of tennis?" ”

Hearing the other party's tone of indifference, Bai Shi was also a little uncertain in his heart. Just listen to Liang Xiaoxin said: "Three turns!" There are currently more than 100 active professional players! ”

A hundred people may seem like a few, but in a top-level event, it is always the top 20 players who get attention. Not to mention a hundred or fifty players, they are not world superstars.

In addition, the current level of tennis in the world is a bit unsatisfactory compared to the Sampras era and the Echizen Minamijiro era. The results of one hundred, in the past, may not even be able to rely on two hundred.

Seeing that Bai Shi still didn't speak, Li Xiao said in a deep voice, "Come to think of it, you have already been in contact with that field, right?" ”

Field?

Shiraishi thought silently in his heart, and his mind immediately appeared in the state that he unconsciously entered during the daytime competition, the white circle. His heart was no longer calm, and the eyes that looked at Li Xiao became different.

"Field, that's what it's called at the top of tennis." Li Xiao said, and then he seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "If you are Japanese, that samurai calls it 'Selfless Realm'!" ”

That samurai? Minamijiro? Also, the realm of selflessness?!!

Shiraishi's eyelids jumped, and a shock that could not be calmed down for a long time welled up in his heart.

No wonder, no wonder! Seeing that he had mastered the strength of another dimension, Minamijiro was still so calm. It turns out that the realm that these people think is just that they haven't even reached the beginning. It's all left over from someone else's play.

Seeing his face, Li Xiao asked, "Have you decided?" ”

Bai Shi was silent, and even Li Xiao couldn't see anything from his face. After a long time, he raised his head and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I'm decided!" ”
