Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: This Lady is Here to Travel

Just around mealtime, Director Sun came over pushing his small food cart.

There was a loudspeaker tied to the top of the cart, which was broadcasting the names of dishes on loop:

“Braised Lion’s Head, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Beijing Shredded Pork in Sauce, Sweet and Sour Ribs…”

“Braised Lion’s Head, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Beijing Shredded Pork in Sauce, Sweet and Sour Ribs…”

[HAHAHAHA Director Sun is so wicked, actually announcing the dishes!]

[Help, just listening made me hungry, I’ll have braised pork for lunch today.]

The guests, still out in the field, all looked up simultaneously with a resentful gaze directed at Director Sun.

Director Sun didn’t feel even slightly ashamed; he took down the loudspeaker and shouted, “Comrades, you’ve all worked hard this morning, the meals prepared by the production team are ready.”

Knowing the production team’s antics all too well, Qi Tianyu said expressionlessly, “Tell us, what do we have to trade this time?”

“Eh.” Director Sun made a “how could you misunderstand me like this” expression, “Don’t worry, this time all the meals are just 0.5 points for a good score; you’ve all worked so hard, how could I overcharge you.”

“That’s great!” Shu Yan clapped happily, “Now we can have something good to eat.”

Jiang Yan glanced at her and sneered, “Aren’t you supposed to be on a diet?”

Shu Yan pouted, “A person needs something to reduce from, being so tired every day and still not having enough to eat, I’ll end up dead in these mountains soon enough.”

Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

That did make sense.

Hearing Director Sun say this, everyone put down their hoes and lined up in front of the food cart.

Director Sun took out the lunch boxes and handed one to each of them.

Standing at the back of the line, Jiang Yan looked around, then frowned.

“Where’s Jiang Li? Why isn’t she around at mealtime?”

Director Sun, while serving the food, replied, “Don’t worry, we’ve saved some for her.”

Jiang Yan tilted his head and snorted, “Who’s worried about her? I’m just afraid she’ll compete with me for food.”

[The young master is acting haughty again, clearly caring about Jiang Li but not willing to admit it!]

[Jiang Yan is actually not bad when you think about it, except for his nasty mouth, bad temper, love for drinking, smoking, clubbing, and fighting…]

[Do you want to listen to yourself talking, sister upstairs?]

Qi Tianyu, seeing his lunch box filled with Braised Lion’s Head, Sweet and Sour Ribs, Spicy Eggplant, and a big drumstick, exclaimed in surprise.

“Damn, it’s really there, has the production team finally developed a conscience?!”

At that, Jiang Yan quickly opened his own lunch box.

Good.

Except for not having a drumstick, his was almost the same as Qi Tianyu’s.

But things started to go awry when it got to Shu Yan.

She looked at the sour and spicy shredded potatoes and stir-fried greens with oyster sauce in her lunch box and cried out in despair.

“Director, this is unfair! Why do they all have meat and fish, and I only have vegetables?”

Her dieting was just talk; she wasn’t really planning to lose weight!

“It’s okay.” He Yun finally spoke, his tone somewhat resigned, “You’re much better off than me.”

His lunch box contained only white rice and a few spoonfuls of spicy bean paste.

[Oh my God, what’s going on, aren’t these all supposed to be lunch boxes? Why is there such a huge difference?]

“[The production team wouldn’t be treating people differently, would they? That’s too much.]”

“[Brother is tired after a whole day, and this is what they give him to eat? Isn’t the production team being too harsh?]”

Director Sun, however, said with a meaningful look, “I told you, every task you complete is linked to the subsequent benefits. In this morning’s points card search task, Jiang Li came in first, so her boxed lunch is the best, with five meat dishes and three vegetarian sides. The benefits decrease in order, and He Yun, having found the fewest points cards, naturally gets the worst meal.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at He Yun with eyes full of sympathy.

Shu Yan felt more balanced inside.

At least she still had some vegetables to eat.

He Yun just smiled indifferently, “It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten rice mixed with bean paste, which is quite good too.”

He was about to leave this place soon, and even a single grain of rice was precious to him.

The five people who got their meals immediately squatted by the ridge with their lunch boxes and started eating.

After a morning battling with mud, they hadn’t even had a chance to shower yet before they busied themselves with planting rice seedlings. Hungry, they no longer cared about their appearance, quickly washed their hands, and began eating.

The barrage of comments was full of empathy.

“[Thanks to the Flash Change production team for showing us such down-to-earth celebrities.]”

“[I’m dying of laughter, even the cleanest He Yun has begun to stop struggling.]”

“[It looks like they just came back from a construction site. I can’t stop laughing.]”

Some even captured their dusty, muddy appearances holding lunch boxes by the ridge and made a comparison with their glamorous airport appearances on the first day.

Of course, netizens didn’t forget about Wen Jiaojiao.

On the first day at the airport, she debuted with curly hair, wearing a princess dress and heels, looking as glamorous as possible.

And now? With a pale face, she lay in a hospital bed hooked up to an IV, looking like a frost-bitten eggplant, hardly resembling her usual arrogant self.

The moment her photo was posted, it immediately went viral, attracting countless surfing netizens.

“[Dammit, is that really the scandal-ridden actress famous for stirring up CP rumors? How did she end up like this?]”

“[I haven’t been online for a few days; how did Mr. He end up like this? Why wouldn’t the production team even give him a leaf of vegetable?]”

“[OMG, this transformation in the variety show is real. I thought it was scripted at first. If the blogger hadn’t tagged their names, I wouldn’t recognize anyone.]”

“[Who is that man squatting on the far right, covered in mud and still so handsome?]”

“[Hey, weren’t there supposed to be six guests? Where did the other one go?]”

It’s not that the blogger didn’t want to post another guest’s photo, but he really couldn’t find any before-and-after photos of Jiang Li from the show.

Wait, that’s not true. There are before-and-after photos indeed.

While others changed from delicate and glamorous to haggard and weak, she not only transformed from a young rascal into a cool goddess but seemed to grow more radiant by the day, without a single flaw visible even with a 360-degree camera spin.

The conclusion: The other five indeed went through a transformation in the variety show, but this lady came for a vacation to rejuvenate in stealth.

At this moment, Jiang Li was sitting in her little courtyard, engrossed in reading a book.

The popularity of the live stream did not decrease due to her silence but instead grew higher.

Many people were inspired by her and started to pick up books or turned to their computers for study and work.

As noon approached, Jiang Li finally closed her book and walked towards the kitchen.

By then, the aromatic white rice was just perfectly cooked, paired with the salty fragrance of pork head meat, creating an ultimate delicacy.

She approached the counter, picked up the previously washed mushrooms and wild vegetables, and began chopping them carefully.

Then she started to beat some eggs.

Her movements were crisp and pleasing to the eyes, making the audience in the live stream even less willing to leave.

Just as they tried to emulate Jiang Li’s example and make themselves a hearty lunch, they saw a cold, bony hand lift the corner of the kitchen curtain, and shortly after, a gaunt man walked in.
