The recording began at precisely eight o'clock, as that was the designated time for guests to arrive.
The guests arrived at different times, which conveniently staggered their arrivals.
When Su Yang arrived, it seemed about five or six people were already present.
Walking forward, Su Yang approached the group of six.
There were four men and two women. Su Yang couldn't quite tell what nationality they were, but they were definitely not from Long Country.
"Wow!" a dark-skinned beauty exclaimed at Su Yang, "He's so handsome!"
"What nationality is he? Is he from Long Country?" another woman, with distinctive features that Su Yang immediately recognized as from Yaros, a country friendly with Long Country, asked.
"He's handsome just like that? He doesn't look like he has any muscle on him."
The beauty's praise was accompanied by a disparaging remark from her companion.
Su Yang stopped and glanced at the man who spoke through his sunglasses.
Su Yang couldn't identify the man's nationality. He looked like he might be from Ying Country, but he wanted to be sure.
Taking off his sunglasses, Su Yang flashed a bright smile and introduced himself to the six people before him.
"Hello everyone, my name is Su Yang, and I'm from Long Country."
His simple introduction caused the two women to let out little shrieks of excitement.
"Wow!"
The dark-skinned beauty looked at Su Yang, her admiration evident, and said, "Hi Su Yang, my name is Mary, and I'm from Yindu."
Su Yang knew of Yindu; after all, most dark-skinned people in the world likely came from there.
Su Yang smiled and nodded at Mary.
"Hello Su Yang, my name is Anna, and I'm from Yaros."
Su Yang's guess was correct.
Yaros and Long Country were friendly nations with a very close relationship, always helping each other in times of need.
Having someone from Yaros on the show brought Su Yang a sense of comfort.
After all, people from Yaros generally didn't hold prejudices against Long Country.
Su Yang smiled and nodded at Mary and Anna, saying, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you both."
As he spoke, Su Yang extended his hand to Mary.
Mary's face instantly turned red.
However, it was difficult to tell that Mary was blushing due to her complexion.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too."
Su Yang shook Mary's hand briefly, then turned to Anna, "Hello Anna, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Anna replied to Su Yang in broken Long Country language.
Su Yang's eyes lit up, "Wow, your Long Country language is quite good."
Su Yang knew that people from Yaros were generally friendly towards people from Long Country and held no prejudices.
So far, both women seemed to be quite taken with Su Yang and held no biases against him.
However...
The four men on the other side didn't look too pleased to see Su Yang.
Especially the one who had initially commented that Su Yang had no muscle.
He seemed to like Anna, and as Su Yang shook Anna's hand and she smiled at Su Yang, his jealousy was almost palpable.
His gaze towards Su Yang was extremely unfriendly.
Su Yang understood his intentions perfectly.
This kind of dating show inherently had a competitive element.
Only the more outstanding individuals could win the favor of the women.
Putting aside the fact that only two women had arrived so far, both of them had already expressed considerable interest in Su Yang.
This inevitably made the other men feel a degree of envy towards Su Yang.
Approaching the men, Su Yang extended his hand, "Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you."
The man who spoke first let out a scoff, chuckling, "Weakling."
His voice was very low, and given that the environment wasn't exactly quiet, it was difficult to hear what he said.
However, Su Yang's hearing was slightly better than average, so he heard the man's words.
But Su Yang had already prepared himself mentally; he knew he would be targeted upon arriving here.
The women might not know, but the men certainly would.
Just as it was now, with only four men present, Su Yang felt hostility from at least three of them.
"What, you shake hands with the girls, but you're too good for us?"
The man who spoke first looked at Su Yang and said with a smile, though his smile was sharp.
Hearing this, Su Yang smiled and stepped forward, extending his hand, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Su Yang extended his hand, but the man didn't reciprocate.
Instead, he looked at Su Yang with an arrogant air and said, "George."
Su Yang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and withdrew his hand.
"George, you're so rude!" Anna said to George from the side.
After Anna spoke, George's gaze towards Su Yang became even fiercer. Su Yang smiled at Anna and said, "It's alright."
Su Yang then turned to the other three men. They introduced themselves one by one, and Su Yang nodded with a smile before casually finding a seat by the side.
Including Su Yang, there were only seven people present so far. Out of these seven, four men, three of them showed dissatisfaction towards Su Yang.
The other one, named Charlie, was the only one who shook Su Yang's hand, but he was too aloof for Su Yang to tell if he was an ally or an enemy. He only knew that Charlie was a guest from a small country.
Su Yang was quite satisfied with the women's demeanor, especially Anna's.
Anna being from Yaros made Su Yang particularly pleased.
The venue was divided into two areas: one for the men and one for the women, resembling a viewing platform. The two areas were opposite each other, seemingly to allow for easier observation.
After Su Yang sat down, he noticed that Mary and Anna were constantly looking at him.
Indeed, Su Yang's appearance was such that even men would be envious.
George was a prime example. Unable to find fault with Su Yang's face, he resorted to saying Su Yang had no muscle.
Su Yang wasn't like them, those bulky men who looked rather unappealing.
Su Yang's muscles were well-proportioned and just right.
He looked slim and stylish in clothes, but had a good physique when undressed.
Although George appeared almost a head taller than Su Yang, Su Yang was confident that George wasn't as strong as him.
He wondered if there would be an arm-wrestling segment later. If so, Su Yang was determined to have a match with George.
He wanted to show George what a real man was.
Since the times for picking up guests were similar, even though their arrivals were staggered, there wasn't much of a gap between them. They arrived one after another.
The next guest to arrive after Su Yang was another dark-skinned man.
He looked like a black man from Mei Country.
The characteristics of such people weren't particularly striking, but they were immediately recognizable.
He had curly hair, but it wasn't messy. For some reason, it looked quite good.
This black man didn't seem very friendly. Su Yang glanced at him and then paid him no further mind.
Just like when Su Yang arrived, the black man introduced himself and then took a seat in the men's area.
His name was Bama. When introducing himself, he blew a kiss towards the women's area. Su Yang could tell that he was interested in Mary.
However, Mary was currently only looking at Su Yang and didn't pay much attention to Bama.
This didn't make Bama happy.
His expression towards Su Yang also became unfriendly.
In fact, people from Mei Country often harbored significant hostility towards people from Long Country.
Especially now that the woman he fancied wasn't interested in him but in Su Yang.
This added a layer of animosity from Bama towards Su Yang.
Before many women had even arrived, Su Yang was already becoming the public enemy of the men.
Facing Bama's provocative gaze, Su Yang couldn't retort and could only offer a smile in return.
Bama approached Su Yang, fist-bumped him, and then pointed at Su Yang, saying, "Hey brother, be careful."
Su Yang just smiled at him.
Careful... careful of what?
Su Yang knew in his heart, but he was utterly fearless.
George and the other two men nearby were grinning ear to ear at Bama's hostility towards Su Yang.
George walked over to Bama, and they shook hands and hugged.
The way they were smiling looked disgusting to Su Yang.
Only Charlie sat there, indifferent.
