"If I can't beat them in terms of skill, I refuse to believe I can't beat them in the games I've played since I was a kid." Bang thought to himself, his mischievous nature completely exposed.

He took out three identical, flawless white porcelain teacups from the tea set, and then took out a small red bean from his pocket.

He placed three teacups upside down on the tatami mat, arranging them in a row, and then, in front of everyone, placed the red bean under the middle teacup.

“The game is simple.” Bang placed his hands on the teacups on either side of him, his eyes instantly sharpening.

"I will quickly switch the positions of the teacups, and all you need to do is keep your eyes on the one with the red bean hidden. When I stop, just point out which bowl the red bean is under."

Isn't this just like the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave on the street?! Lin Mo's eyes began to twitch.

However, he was relieved. As long as it wasn't a martial arts competition, playing games was harmless.

He watched Bangu with interest; since he had nothing else to do, he figured he might as well keep the old man company.

"Oh! This looks interesting!" Saitama immediately perked up.

Genos also analyzed: "Tracking high-speed moving objects requires extremely high visual persistence and dynamic capture capabilities. My sensor can perform slow-motion capture at 240 frames per second, so theoretically there should be no problem."

"Then, I shall begin."

Before Bangu could finish speaking, his hands had already become a blur!

The three teacups seemed to lose their weight in his hands, sliding, exchanging, and colliding rapidly on the tatami mat, producing a series of dazzling, crisp sounds.

The whole process lasted only three seconds. When Bangu's hands stopped, the three teacups had quietly returned to their original positions.

Bang's speed was extremely fast, but those present were not ordinary people.

“On the right.” Saitama pointed to the rightmost teacup and said without hesitation.

“I agree with the teacher’s judgment.” Genos nodded as well. “According to my tracking records, although there were 17 exchanges, the original teacup containing the red bean did eventually stay on the right side.”

Bangu smiled slightly and lifted the teacup on the right.

The space below was completely empty.

"What?!" Saitama and Genos were both stunned.

Bangu then lifted the lid of the teacup in the middle, where the red bean lay quietly.

Bang explained, "During the exchange, I had already moved the red beans to another bowl. What you see is just what I wanted you to see."

Bang laughed, clearly pleased with himself.

Saitama scratched his head: "Wow, that's an amazing magic trick."

After finishing his explanation, Bang's gaze fell on the three of them again, and he said with undiminished interest, "So? Want to continue?"

"Of course! Again!" Saitama's fighting spirit was fully ignited. "This time I'll definitely see it clearly!"

"Then, let's begin."

Bang's hands once again became afterimages.

This time, his movements seemed even faster than before. Lin Mo only saw a white shadow flickering in front of him, and in less than a second, he completely lost track of him.

This is ridiculous...

He had absolutely no idea where the bean was.

Left? Middle? Or right? A one-in-three chance. He even suspected that Grandpa Bang might have hidden the beans in his own hand.

The rapidly moving phantom made his eyes feel sore, and he blinked subconsciously, trying to relieve the discomfort.

Just then, an unexpected accident occurred that no one could have predicted.

On one of the roof beams of the dojo, which had become somewhat loose due to its age, a wood shaving the size of a grain of rice finally broke free from its restraints and drifted down due to the slight vibration caused by the activities of the crowd.

Its trajectory as it fell was perfectly straight.

When Lin Mo closed his eyes and opened them again in the next instant, the tiny wood shaving landed right on the bottom edge of the leftmost teacup, and was then gently bounced to the side by the smooth curve of the bowl.

The whole process took only a moment.

Apart from Lin Mo, who happened to see it by chance, no one else noticed this detail.

"Stop." Bang's hands stopped.

The temple was completely silent.

Saitama was the first to speak, as always. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then pointed to the right and said, "On the right." This time, his tone seemed less certain than before.

Genos followed up: "The initial bowl's final position was still on the right, without a doubt."

"Although no evidence of the items being moved was found, the probability is highest on the right side."

Everyone looked at Lin Mo, waiting for his answer.

Chapter 46 A Hero's Luck

Lin Mo touched his nose. He hadn't seen anything clearly, but the image of the wood shaving touching the teacup on the left was clearly imprinted in his mind.

Oh well, it's just a game anyway, I'll just choose the teacup that the sawdust hit.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Mo slowly extended his index finger and, without the slightest hesitation, pointed directly to the leftmost teacup, calmly saying, "I think it's on the left."

A hint of surprise flashed in Bang's eyes.

With a look of disbelief, he lifted the lid of the teacup on the left.

The bright red bean lay peacefully in the very center.

The entire dojo seemed to have been muted.

Saitama's perpetually calm expression revealed a rare hint of genuine surprise: "Oh! You actually guessed it! King, you're amazing!"

Bang stared intently at Lin Mo, "Such keen observation skills, even though you were already being very careful..."

Faced with Bang's shocked gaze and Saitama's admiring praise, Lin Mo simply smiled and said calmly, "Luck, luck is not bad."

"Heh..." Bang let out a cold laugh that was hard to decipher, but the sharpness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

He neither confirmed nor denied it, but it was clear he didn't believe a word of it.

The first time, you could say it was luck.

What about the second time?

“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.” Bang slowly straightened up and said in a steady and powerful voice, “KING-san, your observation skills have indeed reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.”

Lin Mo could only continue to laugh it off: "Grandpa, you flatter me. It really was just luck..."

“Luck is also part of strength.” Bang disagreed, waving his hand to interrupt Lin Mo’s modest words.

"In that case, let's switch to another game."

"The previous game tested your insight and observation skills. The key to the next game is your perception, which is 'listening'."

"Listen?" Saitama picked at his ear. "Listen to what? Listen to your grand theories about martial arts? I'll fall asleep if I do."

"Haha, not at all, not at all." Bang waved his hand, signaling Chalan to bring another prop.

It was a completely opaque, sealed square box, and a handful of red beans.

Bang placed the square box on the floor in the middle of the group, then casually picked up a few beans from the bowl and, in front of everyone, dropped them one by one into the box through a specially made small opening at the top.

“This game is called ‘Listen.’” Bang gently shook the wooden box, and a rustling sound immediately came from inside.

"The rules are simple: I will shake the box, and you will have to judge the exact number of red beans in the box based on the sound you hear."

"I'll go first." Saitama seemed very interested; he thought this was simpler than looking at things.

Bang smiled slightly and, as a warm-up, dropped five beans into the box.

Then, he picked up the box and shook it a few times at a steady pace. The beans tumbled and collided inside the box, making a clearly audible sound.

"Hmm..." Saitama closed his eyes, listened intently for a while, and then confidently said, "Five!"

Bangu smiled and lifted the lid of the box. Inside were exactly five bright red beans.

"Saitama-kun is quite good, his hearing is very sharp," Bang praised without reservation.

"Next, Genos-kun."

Bang put seven beans into the box this time, and then shook it in a very tricky way, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Genos closed his eyes and began his analysis. "Eliminating echo interference... based on the sound analysis of the collision point, the number is... seven."

Bangu nodded approvingly, opened the box, and sure enough, there were seven.

“Genos-kun’s hearing is indeed extraordinary. So…”

All eyes were once again focused on the mobile pressure source called "KING".

“Mr. King, please give me your guidance.”

Bang didn't speak. He silently emptied all the beans from the box, then turned his back and secretly added them. No one knew how many he added this time.

Just as Bang was about to turn around, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: No, with King's unfathomable perception, simply changing the quantity is probably too easy...

A bold idea suddenly came to mind.

He pretended to tidy his clothes, then reached into his pocket and secretly pulled out a few soybeans that had accidentally fallen into his pocket while he was preparing dinner in the kitchen...

That's right! He's quitting acting!

The old man has to win this time!

He quickly added the soybeans, which were completely different in size, weight, and texture from the red beans, into the box as well.

After doing all this, he turned around nonchalantly and gently placed the wooden box in front of him.

“Mr. King, please.”

Lin Mo took a deep breath and reached out to grasp the wooden box.

He imitated Bangu, closed his eyes, brought the wooden box to his ear, and gently shook it.

"Thump thump... thump thump... thump thump thump..."

All he could hear was his own heartbeat.

The sound of beans? What beans? He couldn't hear even the slightest "rustling" sound!

Lin Mo rubbed his nose and smiled wryly to himself. It's just a game; there's no need to use mental energy to cheat or hack in something like this. That would be too low-class.
