Chapter 12 She Won’t Let This Go The rooms’ ownerships had already been assigned. The director glanced at the guests and suggested, “Would you like to form teams? You can dine together and work together. Unity is strength. If you need to search for things, ask the villagers for assistance, or trade items for food, having a team will make it easier. And it can be a mixed-gender team as well. Men and women can team up together. It will make things smoother.” Originally, there was no plan for the guests to form teams. However, considering Zac and Aaron’s rivalry and Simone and Leon’s broken friendship, allowing the guests to team up would create more drama. That was why the director proposed the idea. Leyla’s eyes lit up, and she agreed, “That’s a great idea. Count me in.” She turned to Jodie and said, “We’re roommates, Jo.
Let’s team up.” Knowing how much Aaron cared for his sister, he would join their team. Leon seemed easy to get along with, and he had many fans watching the show. If she teamed up with them, she would gain a lot of exposure, and the viewers would be talking about it. It was a shame that Zac would never join their team. He had a sharp tongue and didn’t know how to treat women properly. It was for the best that they wouldn’t be on the same team. Jodie actually wanted to team up with Zac. If they spent time together every day, he would eventually see how amazing she was. She was confident that he would fall for her. Or at least, that’s what she hoped for. However, it could never happen since Zac and Aaron were at odds. Nonetheless, teaming up with Leon was a good choice. She would steal him away from Simone. Jodie replied, “Sure.” Aaron suggested, “Leon and I will join you ladies, then.” Leon wanted to team up with Simone, so he was speechless. He had planned to resolve the misunderstanding with Simone. This guy is holding me back. “I’m fine with either option.” He joined this variety show to clear things up with Simone and take care of Jodie. Teaming up with Jodie would make it easier to achieve one of his goals. One team was formed. Zac looked at Eric and said, “Hey, those guys just teamed up with some ladies. Why don’t we do the same?” Eric was easygoing and replied, “No problem. I wonder if the ladies would accept our offer, though.” He smiled at Keira and Simone. “So, would you like to team up with us?” Keira and Simone exchanged glances. They knew what the other was thinking, and they both said, “Sure.” Alright, now we have two teams of four. There will
definitely be clashes in the future. The director was pleased with how things were starting. “And now, it’s time for you to take charge.” The director and some members of the production team retreated to a corner of the courtyard. Only the live stream’s cameraman followed the guests. After descending the mountain and feeling exhausted, they decided to rest before starting their work for food.
The teams went into separate rooms to discuss their plans. Zac sat down lazily and looked at his team members. “Should we go straight to the village and ask the villagers one by one if they need help with anything?” He had no idea what to do. He had never participated in a variety show like this before. 1/3 Eric agreed, “We don’t know the villagers, so that’s our only option.” Keira shared the same opinion. “I agree.” Simone spoke up, “I have a suggestion.” Her team members turned their attention to her. “What is it?” “We can visit the village head and learn more about the village. Then we can find out which families need help and go directly to their houses. That way, we can save a lot of time. We can also ask if the village committee needs our assistance.” Simone’s team members’ eyes lit up. up. “That’s a great idea.” Why didn’t we think of that? The proposal was unanimously agreed upon. They assumed that Leon’s team would go door-to-door like they planned.
They didn’t want Leon’s team to steal their idea, so they chatted and only left after Leon’s team had departed as well. They saw Leon’s team heading towards the entrance of the village to ask the first household if they needed help. Simone’s team asked a villager and found the village committee. The village head was aware of the production team’s plan to shoot a variety show in the village, and they had agreed to it. They had already informed the villagers about it before the team’s arrival. The village head was surprised that these celebrities had come to him. He stood up, smiling, and greeted the celebrities warmly. He asked, “So, what brings you here?” Simone replied, “We would like to learn more about the village and see if anyone needs our help. In return, we only ask for food.” She added, “And please let it be tasks that we can handle.” Oh, they came for information first. Smart move. “This village is somewhat remote due to its location and transportation issues. We have around a hundred households here. Most of the able-bodied men and women have gone to work elsewhere, so it’s mostly children and the elderly here,” the village head explained. After a moment of contemplation, henovelbin
continued, “There are a few households that might need your help more. Deuce’s family is currently harvesting their fruits, and they could use more assistance. Then there’s Fivo’s family…” Simone borrowed a pen from the village head and wrote down everything he said. She asked him about the locations where the villagers lived and drew a simple map based on the village head’s description. After finishing their conversation, the village head bid them farewell. Simone pointed at the broken tractor in the courtyard and asked, “Is that tractor out of order?” The village head nodded. “Yes, it broke down suddenly two weeks ago. We tried to find someone to fix it, but nothing happened. Due to budget constraints, they were still debating whether to purchase a new one. Curious, Zac inquired, “Can a tractor even navigate through the village’s roads?” But the director said it’s difficult for a motorbike to enter. The village head smiled. “You came through a smaller path. We have a wider and less steep road that leads to the town. A tractor can pass through that road.” The team finally realized that the director had deceived them. Simone refocused her attention on the tractor.
“It must be inconvenient that the tractor is broken, isn’t it?” The village head sighed. “Yes, it is. We were planning to get some fertilizer from the town, but since the tractor broke down, that plan had to be put on hold.” Simone smiled and proposed, “If we can repair that item for you, would it be possible for us to receive some food in return?” She was determined not to miss this opportunity to have dinner. The village head was taken aback. “Are you all capable of repairing tractors?” Simone’s team members were momentarily stunned, then they turned to look at Simone.
“You can repair tractors?” We can’t. The fact that she’s asking implies that she can? Simone affirmed, “I can.” Having gained extensive knowledge about machines from her travels through different worlds, she had acquired considerable expertise. Fixing a tractor was a straightforward task. for her. Everyone was astonished by her ability to repair a tractor.
