As soon as the scheduled time arrived, the previously feuding comments section finally quieted down. Most netizens shifted their attention to the TV. The organizers strategically placed the most exciting parts in the middle segment. They patiently waited for the host to finish his lengthy thank-you speech to the sponsors and watched the women's competition before the men's event began.

As the lead singer of TR's boy band, Su Ge not only had decent singing skills but also owed much of his popularity to his striking looks. His delicate and fair-skinned face was stunning at first glance but felt overly crafted upon a second look.

However, his fans thought otherwise. As Su Ge's figure appeared on the screen, several top fans in the comments section began flooding the chat with flowers and praising him with "Brother is so handsome." Especially when he scored a nine with his opening shot, the rainbow farts went through the roof.

[ I told you Su Ge was the most likely to win. If it weren't for his injury, who knows who would win.]

[Are Su Ge's fans all elementary school students? How can you still have this bad habit of blind praise after so many years? Meng Qianlin also has a good chance of winning, you know?]

[Excuse me, interrupting here. Su Ge was eliminated, Meng Qianlin came in third. Where do you place the second-place winner Yu Fan?]

The comments section was in chaos, debating the champion's identity, yet no one mentioned Xi Nian's name. His fanbase was just forming and lacked cohesion. Any comments they made were quickly drowned out.

As the debate continued, the camera suddenly shifted to a man, and everyone paused.

Netizens were somewhat familiar with the name Xi Nian because of his association with Su Ge. However, due to his low profile, there were only a few basic photos of him online, and the most frequent recent one was a blurry GIF of Xi Nian giving Su Ge a cold look.

This was their first true introduction to Xi Nian.

The high-definition camera focused on him, slowly zooming in for a close-up. His features were refined and handsome, like a meticulously drawn Chinese painting, yet cold and aloof, captivating.

Such a demeanor didn't make people doubt the authenticity of his cold treatment towards Su Ge, but it didn't make people dislike him either.

The comments section fell silent for a few rare seconds before erupting in excitement.

[Ah! Screaming like a groundhog! Quick! In three seconds, I want all the information on this man!]

[!!!! Why didn't anyone tell me Xi Nian is this handsome?]

[Damn! He's both cold and handsome, he's setting my standards for men up the roof!!]

[He looks even better in person than in photos! Am I blind? How did I miss this stunning guy in so many Star Games episodes!]

Su Ge's fans were furious: You guys, wake up! This is Xi Nian we're talking about!

The commentator's voice continued: "...Now it's the turn of player number nine, Xi Nian, to shoot. He didn't perform well in the last round, let's see if he can turn things around this time. I'm really worried for him..."

On screen, Xi Nian's expression remained indifferent until he nocked an arrow and drew the bow, suddenly radiating confidence, like a drawn sword revealing its sharp edge. Viewers saw a swift black shadow shoot across, accompanied by the sound of air being cut, and a new arrow appeared on the target not far away.

The arrow was still trembling slightly but hit the bullseye.

"Player number nine, Xi Nian, first arrow of the first round, ten points."
