Su Yang had no idea what the profound mystery was, but he guessed that, given the nature of this type of show, these two ocean-view houses were likely adjacent.
If two houses built at the same time were now one new and one old, one would have to suspect that the house had either been renovated or deliberately aged.
These two ocean-view villas before him were exactly like that – either renovated or aged.
However, the impact wasn't that significant.
"Alright everyone, take a look at the two ocean-view villas on the screen.
One is new, and one is old. These are the places the production team has booked for our guests to rest.
But because our production team's budget was insufficient, we ran out of funds when renting the second villa, so we chose a relatively older one.
Of course, the price is also a bit cheaper."
"The person who chooses a house first gets to be the winner of this competition.
Let's invite Bama to reveal the true appearance of these two villas."
With that, Hans waved to Bama.
"I'm here!"
Hearing Hans's call, Bama grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and walked towards Hans.
George and Bama had returned with the plants together, but Bama was much taller than George. Therefore, Bama was the first to arrive and hand over the plants.
Bama walked to Hans's side. Hans handed Bama a control stick and said, "Point it at the house, and the rooms inside will be revealed."
Upon hearing this, Bama nodded, took the stick, and quickly poked at the two villas.
Instantly, on the television screen, the two ocean-view villas were divided into twenty rooms.
Su Yang had excellent eyesight and quickly saw what these two houses were like.
When he saw the last two rooms, Su Yang laughed.
Because these two rooms were truly laughable.
One was a bare shell, and the other was a tent on a platform.
These were the destinations for the last and second-to-last place in this game.
And it wasn't just for tonight, but for the next half a month.
"Wow~"
Initially, people saw the houses at the top, which were really quite nice.
These two ocean-view villas each had four floors, plus a basement.
The best room had a balcony resembling a small garden, complete with all sorts of furniture, more luxurious than some entire apartments.
When everyone saw this house, they couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.
Su Yang, however, did not.
This house was actually far less luxurious than Su Yang's own.
Let alone the manor Su Yang had bought here, even Su Yang's house in Songhai couldn't compare to these ocean-view villas.
But Su Yang understood in his heart.
It was because Su Yang's houses were all built with a great deal of money.
How could these houses compare?
However, these rooms were indeed quite good.
The best one even had a projector on the balcony.
Facing the sea, watching a movie here at night with the person you love would be incredibly romantic.
Su Yang took one look and knew this was the house he would be living in.
The remaining rooms, as the production team had said, got progressively worse starting from the eleventh.
In fact, they got worse from the very first room.
But the relatively better ocean-view villa was still better, and the rooms inside were indeed quite nice.
Su Yang glanced at them and didn't look anymore. Charlie, however, kept watching.
Su Yang saw his gaze fixed on the screen and then smiled, saying, "What do you think of the second room?"
Upon hearing this, Charlie looked at the second house. It was adjacent to the first, and apart from lacking a balcony, the second room was no worse than the first.
Charlie nodded, looked at Su Yang, and smiled, "You take the first one, and I'll take the second?"
Su Yang smiled faintly and shrugged, "Of course, why not? What do you think?"
Charlie smiled and looked at Su Yang, "Actually, as long as I don't have to live in the last two rooms, I'll be perfectly content."
"Don't worry, the first two rooms were meant to be ours.
They are the fruits of our victory, and no one can take them away.
I won't let you suffer with me."
Charlie understood that Su Yang was referring to the time in the jungle when Su Yang had taken Charlie's basket and given it to Bama and the others.
This had resulted in Bama and George becoming first and second.
If it weren't for Bama and George, and the other male contestants causing this situation, then first and second place would have originally belonged to Su Yang and Charlie.
Charlie looked at Su Yang, nodded, and said, "Although I still don't know what your trump card is, I believe in you."
Su Yang smiled at Charlie upon hearing this, "Your trust in me is absolutely correct, and I won't let you down."
With that, Su Yang took out a prop from his pocket and extended his hand towards Charlie.
The gesture looked as if Su Yang was about to shake Charlie's hand.
But Charlie clearly saw that Su Yang was holding a small golden token.
Half-believing, he extended his hand towards Su Yang. To outsiders, it looked as if they were resigned to their fate, shaking hands in shared misery.
But what no one knew was that they had quietly made a significant move.
Charlie received what Su Yang gave him without making a sound, as if it were a very ordinary action. After separating his hand from Su Yang's, Charlie first glanced at the screen near Hans.
Then, pretending to be casual, he looked at his palm.
It was a golden token with two words written on it. Translated into Dragon Country characters, it meant "Forced Exchange."
Seeing the words on it, Charlie couldn't help but look at Su Yang in shock.
Su Yang smiled faintly at Charlie.
"Did you find this prop?" Charlie asked Su Yang in a low voice.
Su Yang nodded and whispered, "After everyone has claimed their rooms, you can choose the one you like and swap. No one else has this prop."
Yes, there were only three props in total, and Su Yang had found them all.
Charlie looked at Su Yang with a face full of shock and admiration, almost overflowing.

【Why is Charlie looking at Su Yang like that?】
【What are they whispering about? We can't hear a word.】
【I feel like Su Yang is deliberately keeping it quiet. Su Yang will definitely make a big move later, believe it or not?】
【Believe, believe, believe! Su Yang has three props, and something big is bound to happen with these props.】
【I'm really looking forward to Su Yang's performance later!】
"I believe everyone has seen that the rooms on the screen are where you will be living for the next half a month."
Hans said, looking at the screen.
"According to the game rules, we will start selecting rooms from front to back. After you've chosen, we will give you one hour to pack your belongings into your rooms and settle in."
Upon hearing Hans's words, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
Because they were in a good mood, Su Yang and Charlie also cheered.
At this moment, someone from the other side spoke.
It was Mary. Mary looked at Hans and said, "I have a question!"
Hans looked at Mary and asked, "Oh? Mary? What is your question?"
"These rooms have their good and bad points. What if someone draws a bad room, can they live with someone who got a good room?"
After Mary finished speaking, Bama across the way smiled at Mary and said, "Hey Mary, if you want to live in my room, I'd be very willing."
After he spoke, the male contestants burst into laughter.
Mary glanced at Bama. The disdain in her eyes was very, very obvious.
But knowing this was a show being filmed with so many cameras around, she quickly suppressed the disdain in her eyes and smiled at Bama.
"That won't be necessary. Look at this ranking, I'm third. This room probably isn't any worse than yours."
With that, Mary smiled, as if she had never heard Bama's unpleasant remark.
