This rule had actually been mentioned before.
But after repeating it now, it seemed to carry some special significance.
It was mainly because George had used this privilege to make things difficult for Su Yang.
So, when Hans stated this rule, George's shoulders visibly trembled. It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid.
Su Yang was not a kind person; George had learned this when he competed against Su Yang previously.
After the malicious act he had just committed against Su Yang, George held no hope that Su Yang would let him off the hook.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, George looked at Su Yang with fear in his eyes.
Su Yang caught sight of George's gaze out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but curve his lips into a mocking smile.
Su Yang understood this fearful look very clearly. Even if it was just fear, after this incident, George would still target Su Yang.
Such people were inherently stubborn. They wouldn't learn their lesson until they hit rock bottom, until Su Yang incapacitated them, they would never behave.
Su Yang had realized this long ago, so at this moment, Su Yang felt a little speechless and helpless.
He was participating in the show with a mission.
In fact, apart from the mission, Su Yang didn't want to bother with anything else. But these people kept targeting him, and Su Yang had no choice but to fight back.
There was no reason to not resist when people attacked you.
If it were in the past, if something was amiss, Su Yang would definitely have struck first.
But now, on the show, Su Yang had no choice, and he also had to maintain his public image.
Looking at Hans in front of him, Su Yang smiled faintly.
"Alright Su Yang, you can now choose a guest, but due to your previous situation, our production team has just decided on a rule: you can play a prank, but don't go too far."
Hearing Hans's words, Su Yang felt a wave of disgust.
He could be pranked however they liked, but when he had a privilege, a rule was introduced that he couldn't go too far.
Perhaps seeing the subtle change in Su Yang's expression, Hans quickly added, "This rule actually existed before, but it wasn't announced..."
The more Hans spoke, the more he implicated himself.

[Forgot to mention? I don't believe it. Hans's look at Su Yang wasn't good. I feel like Hans is doing it on purpose.]
[So what if he's doing it on purpose? He's just a person from Long Country...]
[Is it right for Hans to act like this? I feel it's too much...]
[I also feel it's too much. Is this even a show?]
[Does anyone remember the original intention of the show?]
...
Long Country Channel
[...I'm going to be disgusted to death by these people. Why are they treating Su Yang like this?]
[These people are doing it on purpose. The production team is definitely doing it on purpose, they just don't favor our Long Country.]
[Utterly speechless.]
[How strong do we need to be to earn even basic respect from these people?]
[I think everyone's standards, or every country's standards, are different. We know we are strong, and that's enough.]
...
Hearing Hans's words, Su Yang's expression clearly worsened.
Hans knew this was his fault. It was indeed the case, so he forced a laugh and then looked at Su Yang, saying, "I'm sorry, Su Yang. It's my first day, and I'm quite tired... I promise you, this will never happen again."
Hearing Hans's words, Su Yang smiled faintly and looked at Hans, saying, "It's fine, but you should make the same promise to the other guests. I can guarantee nothing will happen to me, but I can't guarantee that nothing will happen to the other guests."
After speaking, Su Yang surveyed the other guests and said, "The host told me that this privilege allows me to designate a guest to perform a program.
This is a gala-style event, and there will definitely be performances later. My long-time favorite guest is a special-grade dancer from their country. I regret that I never got to see her perform when she visited Long Country.
I don't know if I'm lucky enough now to witness her performance in person.
At the same time, I'd like to have this special-grade dancer open our gala with a performance.
Saying that, Su Yang smiled faintly again and then said, "If I remember correctly, the production team originally intended to make these two privileges the opening performances.
But I messed it up. So, next, I would like to invite Miss Anna to perform a dance as the opening for our gala. I wonder if Miss Anna would be willing?"
The production team had indeed planned it this way, but unfortunately, George had wanted to prank Su Yang during the show, which was something the production team had never expected.
So, one privilege was used, and Su Yang's privilege remained.
As he spoke, Su Yang extended his hand towards Anna, making a gesture of invitation.
Anna looked at Su Yang, and a blush appeared on her face.
Anna had performed before the highest dignitaries in various large-scale performances. However, the mechanical nature of those performances was ingrained in her.
So, Anna felt no nervousness.
In fact, her heart was as calm as still water.
But for some reason, when she heard Su Yang's invitation, Anna's heart became so nervous.
Sitting in her seat, Anna honestly didn't know what to do. Even when Mary gently nudged her arm, Anna remained still.
Su Yang noticed Anna's nervousness and smiled faintly, saying, "Miss Anna, if you feel nervous, I can accompany you. I can stay by your side. What do you think?"
"Accompany?" Anna looked at Su Yang, her excitement growing even more.
Su Yang nodded, "I happen to know some instruments, so I can accompany you."
"Wow, I didn't know Su Yang knew musical instruments? What instruments does Su Yang specialize in?" Hans asked from the side.
Su Yang replied, "I know a little bit of piano, violin, and guitar."
"Wow, that's quite a few," Hans said.
