Chapter 664 - Meet The Contestants!
Landon drove towards the set and immediately found his way around quickly.
They were now making a whole new season.
And today, he would be joining the host in encouraging today's players.
As one of the biggest sponsors of the show, it was important for him to meet the contestants and make them feel enthusiastic.
Of course today, the contestants would only be recording the first stunt.
There were a total of 18 stunts to be done.
And there were a total of 19 couples or pairs of contestants that would perform these stunts.
Some people came with their newly wedded wives, while others came with their friends and so on.
Additionally, the contestants also came from different continents within the Pyno continent.
Today, they would be filming the first 3 stunts for all teams and the teams that didn't make it would be disqualified.
Each stunt just took a couple of minutes to do, so they would be able to get 3 stunts done today.
And 2 days from now, they would be filming the next stunt.
They did this to give the contestants time to breathe a little.
Some of these stunts could make one panic or have anxiety, so they needed to calm down a bit before their next stunts.
But then again, this was what the show was about.
Conquering one's fears!
All teams wore different coloured shirts and acknowledged leggings or shorts.
But of course underneath when the stunts would begin, they would have to wear tight body-hugging clothing so as to make it easier for them to do their stunts.
After all, no one wanted their loose clothing to be caught up in something and make them lose.
For this season, the contestants ranged from 17 to 30-year-old people.
Everyone was socializing with each other while looking at the crazy scene before them.
"So what do you think that we will do today?"
"Maybe they'll ask us to have a bath?"
"Yeah.... there's a vat (basin) the size of a bathtub there.
So it might be it."
"You're right!
Maybe that's why they specified that we must know how to swim before selecting us."
"But why would we need to know how to swim if we are just entering a bathtub?"
(°^°)
.
Perry looked at the set a little more, as he was trying to come up with clues to what their stunt would really be.
He felt like it couldn't be that simple... could it?
They were standing a little far away from the metal bathtub-like basin, so from his angle... it looked like nothing was in it.
But he kept feeling like he was wrong.
Additionally, there was a table on one side that had something covered with a yellow cloth there too.
Everything just looked too mysterious.
They were currently standing in one of the studios, desert-like areas.
And the cameras and background crew were all stationed around the scene strategically.
Perry who was 21 years old, was a pure Baymardian and had married a Caronian woman a while back.
Luckily, things weren't that complicated for inter-empire marriages.
All Caronian rules still applied to his wife.
Except now, she can officially stay in Baymard forever, and her family can visit her more often without any hiccups too.
For sure, she had a few more perks now that she had married a Baymardian.
She was now allowed to open her own business in Baymard if she wanted to, and she could even get a home within the normal residential areas in District E and F.
Even when it came to her children's education, they would be charged as regular Baymardians, and she could also take out certain loans from the bank too.
In fact, some doors had now opened for her due to the marriage.
Of course she could work within the areas permitted for foreigners which for sure exclude the lower regions, military and other areas that had top-secret information.
This would only be temporal until world peace got established... for fear of secrets leaking out.
.
One should know that before Perry's marriage, he too had been briefed on the consequences... if he should ever reveal company policies or work to his wife.
So for his mother, sisters, his wife, his future kids, as well as his own life... he dared not.
Before marrying his wife, he had relatives here.
And he had long known about some of these rules.
Because even without the marriage... if he sold out Baymard, then his fate would be the same.
So he was well aware of some of these rules.
That's why when he was at home, he and his wife could crack jokes about how a friend made an error at work or how someone even slipped down... provided he wasn't giving off any company secrets.
Perry felt like it was okay, as he and his wife hardly went into detail about their work anyway.
They would just laugh about how their day went and more importantly, do us on family planning.
After all, they were more concerned with saving more money, investing and whatnot.
To them, looking at future prospects, health plans and raising children were all they were truly focused on within these first few years of marriage.
Perry thought that married life would be easy.
But it certainly made one sit up when a baby suddenly came into the picture.
It almost felt like all their planning was involved around that baby.
Their entire room smells like baby powder, and almost all rooms in their home had tiny toys laying around here and there.
He had a love-hate relationship with his kid, as he was typically sleep-deprived during the night.
Fortunately, his mother lived with them and was more than happy to help them here and there.
In fact, his mother treated her grandson as if she was the one who gave birth to him
No matter what he did, in his mother's eyes... his son was right and he was wrong.
And so he and his wife now had free time on their hands to plan for their future.
.
As for his wife, he had known his wife for 3 years now, and within that time... it took him 6 months to propose to her after knowing her and another 8 months to marry her.
Of course from there, they had their first son in a flash.
And now, his wife was as strong and fit as she used to be thanks to the gym and a healthy diet.
With their conditions improved at home, they were finally ready to make more money for their family.
That was the main reason why they entered the show 'Fear Factor!
Perry looked at his wife and squeezed her hand confidently.
"Honey, are you ready?"
"Of course!
If I can push a baby out, then I can definitely win this!
Don't worry, we've got this!"
"Good!
That's my girl!"
