Chapter 12
Chapter 12 She Won’t Let This Go The rooms’ ownerships had already been assigned. The directorglanced at the guests and suggested, “Would you like to form teams? You can dine together and worktogether. Unity is strength. If you need to search for things, ask the villagers for assistance, or tradeitems for food, having a team will make it easier. And it can be a mixed-gender team as well. Men andwomen can team up together. It will make things smoother.” Originally, there was no plan for the gueststo form teams. However, considering Zac and Aaron’s rivalry and Simone and Leon’s brokenfriendship, allowing the guests to team up would create more drama. That was why the directorproposed the idea. Leyla’s eyes lit up, and she agreed, “That’s a great idea. Count me in.” She turnedto 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 seemedeasy to get along with, and he had many fans watching the show. If she teamed up with them, shewould gain a lot of exposure, and the viewers would be talking about it. It was a shame that Zac wouldnever join their team. He had a sharp tongue and didn’t know how to treat women properly. It was forthe best that they wouldn’t be on the same team. Jodie actually wanted to team up with Zac. If theyspent time together every day, he would eventually see how amazing she was. She was confident thathe would fall for her. Or at least, that’s what she hoped for. However, it could never happen since Zacand Aaron were at odds. Nonetheless, teaming up with Leon was a good choice. She would steal himaway from Simone. Jodie replied, “Sure.” Aaron suggested, “Leon and I will join you ladies, then.” Leonwanted to team up with Simone, so he was speechless. He had planned to resolve themisunderstanding with Simone. This guy is holding me back. “I’m fine with either option.” He joined thisvariety show to clear things up with Simone and take care of Jodie. Teaming up with Jodie would makeit easier to achieve one of his goals. One team was formed. Zac looked at Eric and said, “Hey, thoseguys 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 theother 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 acorner of the courtyard. Only the live stream’s cameraman followed the guests. After descending themountain 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 teammembers. “Should we go straight to the village and ask the villagers one by one if they need help withanything?” He had no idea what to do. He had never participated in a variety show like this before. 1/3Eric agreed, “We don’t know the villagers, so that’s our only option.” Keira shared the same opinion. “Iagree.” Simone spoke up, “I have a suggestion.” Her team members turned their attention to her. “Whatis it?” “We can visit the village head and learn more about the village. Then we can replace out whichfamilies need help and go directly to their houses. That way, we can save a lot of time. We can also askif the village committee needs our assistance.” Simone’s team members’ eyes lit up. up. “That’s a greatidea.” Why didn’t we think of that? The proposal was unanimously agreed upon. They assumed thatLeon’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 haddeparted as well. They saw Leon’s team heading towards the entrance of the village to ask the firsthousehold if they needed help. Simone’s team asked a villager and found the village committee. Thevillage head was aware of the production team’s plan to shoot a variety show in the village, and theyhad agreed to it. They had already informed the villagers about it before the team’s arrival. The villagehead was surprised that these celebrities had come to him. He stood up, smiling, and greeted thecelebrities warmly. He asked, “So, what brings you here?” Simone replied, “We would like to learn moreabout the village and see if anyone needs our help. In return, we only ask for food.” She added, “Andplease let it be tasks that we can handle.” Oh, they came for information first. Smart move. “This villageis somewhat remote due to its location and transportation issues. We have around a hundredhouseholds here. Most of the able-bodied men and women have gone to work elsewhere, so it’s mostlychildren and the elderly here,” the village head explained. After a moment of contemplation, he
continued, “There are a few households that might need your help more. Deuce’s family is currentlyharvesting their fruits, and they could use more assistance. Then there’s Fivo’s family…” Simoneborrowed a pen from the village head and wrote down everything he said. She asked him about thelocations where the villagers lived and drew a simple map based on the village head’s description. Afterfinishing their conversation, the village head bid them farewell. Simone pointed at the broken tractor inthe courtyard and asked, “Is that tractor out of order?” The village head nodded. “Yes, it broke downsuddenly two weeks ago. We tried to replace someone to fix it, but nothing happened. Due to budgetconstraints, they were still debating whether to purchase a new one. Curious, Zac inquired, “Can atractor even navigate through the village’s roads?” But the director said it’s difficult for a motorbike toenter. The village head smiled. “You came through a smaller path. We have a wider and less steeproad that leads to the town. A tractor can pass through that road.” The team finally realized that thedirector 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 wereplanning to get some fertilizer from the town, but since the tractor broke down, that plan had to be puton hold.” Simone smiled and proposed, “If we can repair that item for you, would it be possible for us toreceive some food in return?” She was determined not to miss this opportunity to have dinner. Thevillage head was taken aback. “Are you all capable of repairing tractors?” Simone’s team memberswere 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, “Ican.” 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. Everyonewas astonished by her ability to repair a tractor.
