The production team wheeled out a cart laden with a magnificent ten-course meal and a soup, swapping it for their simple one-meat-one-vegetable dinner!
Amelia Lockhart instantly forgot all the exhaustion from running around all afternoon! 'This luxurious dinner seems pretty amazing!'
Ruby Sawyer was tired and hungry. She already found her own meal unappetizing, so seeing Amelia Lockhart's luxurious feast only made her more resentful!
"Why did she get a Silk Pouch for completing a three stars task when we got nothing for a Four Stars task? Is the production team playing favorites?"
The director finally explained with a grin, "Actually, every task comes with a Silk Pouch, but only Ethan Quinn and Amelia Lockhart received one. It's a 'Satisfaction Pouch,' given only when the villagers feel your work was satisfactory! The pouches will also drop randomly in the future, so be sure to collect them!"
"Wow! Amelia! How did you guys get it?" Iris Yates was so envious!
'I want to eat the luxurious feast, too!'
Amelia Lockhart thought for two seconds. "I just fetched water. Maybe it's because he chopped firewood?"
Hearing this, Leo Bishop was also surprised. "Ethan Quinn chopped firewood?"
Seeing everyone else's shock, Amelia Lockhart suddenly felt a sense of vindication. 'I can't be the only one who's shocked!'
"Maybe he got bored since I was in charge of fetching water, so he helped Granny Lawrence chop firewood and clean up!"
Rhett Reynolds burst out laughing. "You two are a funny pair. The man handles the domestic work while the woman works outside?"
Ethan Quinn shot Rhett Reynolds a cool glance.
Rhett Reynolds instantly pantomimed zipping his lips shut.
[HAHAHA! Watson, you've found the blind spot!]
[Ethan's glare successfully shut Rhett up again! I'm laughing like an idiot in front of my screen!]
Unwilling to give up, Ruby Sawyer glanced at their magnificent feast and said with a smile, "You two can't possibly finish all that food, right? Are there any dishes you don't like? We could help you with them!"
Amelia Lockhart looked at Ethan Quinn, a docile expression on her face as she waited for him to decide.
Ethan Quinn raised his "noble" hand, picked up a dish, and passed it to Amelia Lockhart.
Amelia Lockhart glanced at it and nearly burst out laughing. With a smile playing on her lips, she passed it to Ruby Sawyer. "Ethan picked this out for you. Don't be shy!"
Ruby Sawyer's face instantly turned as green as the plate of leafy vegetables. She said through gritted teeth, "Couldn't you spare some meat?"
Ethan Quinn raised his hand and passed over another dish.
Amelia Lockhart really couldn't hold it in anymore! After quickly passing it to Ruby Sawyer, she immediately turned away, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
Ethan Quinn had passed them a plate of glistening braised pork belly! It was a perfect mix of fat and lean meat, and while it looked delicious, for a female celebrity, it was comparable to a plate of poison!
Ruby Sawyer was furious but didn't dare to show it!
Ethan Quinn was the one who gave her the dish! She had no idea how to react!
[HAHAHA! I'm laughing my head off!]
[Ethan probably just gave away the dishes he doesn't like! HAHAHAHA!]
But Vincent Vance was delighted. He ate a huge bowl of rice with the braised pork, which only made Ruby Sawyer so angry she nearly snapped her chopsticks!
With Ruby Sawyer's experience as a cautionary tale, no one else asked them to share food. Ethan Quinn, a picky eater, only took two dishes he liked, leaving Amelia Lockhart to polish off the rest!
Ethan Quinn was also surprised by how much Amelia Lockhart could eat. Female celebrities, in particular, were usually so careful about every bite.
Silently, his gaze drifted down to her still-flat stomach, wondering where on earth all that food went.
The camera followed Ethan Quinn's gaze downward, and the bullet comments erupted in laughter.
[Ethan must be thinking: 'I've never seen a woman who can eat so much and is so strong!']
[I'm laughing so hard I'm honking! HONK HONK HONK!]
"Everyone worked hard on the first day! Congratulations to all four couples for successfully completing your tasks. Therefore, tonight's lodging will be assigned according to your task's star level!"
Iris Yates was the first to cry out, her shriek sharp enough to startle the birds resting in the trees. "Ah! Doesn't that mean we get the worst one?"
Rhett Reynolds gave a bitter smile. "Now I finally get why the one-star task was the one left over."
This time, it was Ruby Sawyer's turn to be pleasantly surprised. She and her partner had completed the most difficult task: the Four Stars one!
"The Four Stars house is a super-luxurious two-story house with air conditioning and hot water. The three stars house is a fully-equipped house that provides hot water. The two-star house is a villager's house with only basic facilities. As for the one-star house..." The director trailed off, deliberately building suspense.
Rhett Reynolds gave another bitter smile. "The production team is so cruel. Please, just put us out of our misery!"
"The one-star house is a 'starlight sleeping bag room' that needs to be cleaned! We wish you lovers sweet dreams!"
[HAHAHA! The most pitiful couple is born!]
[A starlight sleeping bag room? Does that mean no roof and no bed? Forgive me for my shameless laughter!]
The bullet comments were flooded with "HAHAHA"s and a perfectly coordinated stream of: "A world where only Iris Yates and Rhett Reynolds get hurt has been achieved!"
Amelia Lockhart glanced at them sympathetically, secretly thinking how wonderful it was to be paired with the High God! 'Otherwise, we would have been the ones sleeping in the one-star house tonight!'
After each couple went to their respective lodgings, the bullet comments went wild.
[Does this mean we get to see Ethan's sleeping face? I'm so excited!]
[The livestream is 24/7! I've decided I'm not sleeping tonight! I absolutely cannot let Amelia Lockhart lay a finger on my Ethan!]
The fully-equipped house was actually quite nice. Though it lacked air conditioning, the spring mountain breeze was very comfortable.
As soon as Amelia Lockhart entered, she toured the modest house, feeling incredibly fortunate to be in the fully-equipped one.
'But what now?'
Amelia Lockhart then remembered that she wasn't the only one staying in this room; Ethan Quinn was here too.
And there was only one bed.
'My mission to repay this debt is to get on Ethan Quinn's good side, make him fall for me, and then dump him. Only after he forsakes love and romance can he return to The Celestial Realm.'
'But,' Amelia Lockhart thought, 'the pressure of sleeping with the High God is too much. I'll probably get insomnia, which will affect tomorrow's tasks, which means I'll be a burden, and then I won't be able to get on his good side!'
'No way!'
As Amelia Lockhart's mind raced with these wild thoughts, she didn't notice that her gaze was fixed on Ethan Quinn.
[HOLY SH*T! Amelia Lockhart is staring straight at Ethan! What is she trying to do?]
[Ethan is in danger! AHHH! I want to gouge her eyes out!]
Ethan Quinn lifted his gaze slightly, seemingly unbothered by Amelia Lockhart's stare. He simply pointed to the only bathroom and asked, "Who's first?"
That snapped Amelia Lockhart out of it. She quickly said, "You go first, you go first. I'm not a clean freak."
Ethan Quinn's hand, which was grabbing his clothes, paused for a moment before he entered the bathroom. Naturally, there were no cameras inside, but the fans in front of their screens were all glued to the shot of the bathroom door.
It was as if they could see the pulse-pounding scene through the door!
Amidst the bullet comments filled with wild fantasies, a few different observations drifted by.
[What is Amelia Lockhart doing, running back and forth?]
