In this chapter, we learn that the next edition of the masters tournament will be held in Shanghai, and that the top four amateur players will be invited to participate. This means that cheng and his friends will have to compete against the best of the world's top 16 amateur players in order to earn a place in the masters. We learn that fangjin has been spying on cheng all day, and cheng has lost all five of his matches. He's a beginner in the game of snooker, and he'll need to learn how to play the game at night. We also learn that there's going to be a new system for ranking tournaments in the future, which will make it even more difficult for cheng to win the world title.
