Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 71: Chapter 71 The Theme of the First Day—Breaking New Ground!

Shu Yan curled her lips with a hint of jealousy, “When can it be my turn to play the hero so that our Movie Emperor brother can praise me too?”

Wen Jiaojiao’s face turned even sourer, glanced at He Yun, then at Jiang Li, and scoffed softly.

Who in this circle didn’t know that Jiang Li had a thing for the merchant’s lord.

She wanted to capture his attention, even trying to enter the entertainment industry by appearing on a show like Su Yinwan.

Yet, she hadn’t even lasted two days before hooking up with He Yun.

Such a flirtatious woman!

Sooner or later, she vowed to reveal Jiang Li’s true colors to everyone!

[Boohoo, Mr. He is so good, he actually took the initiative to explain for our Lili, I’m about to switch loyalties here.]

[Help, why is this ship so satisfying? And did you notice that Mr. He kept stealing glances at Jiang Li just now?]

[CP fans get lost! Our brother is uniquely charming! Non-mainstream young madams stay away from the hype!]

Lu Xingchao felt on the verge of a breakdown in front of the screen.

How could the goddess he had just become a fan of have a CP on the first day of the show?

He refused!!!

“It’s true, what He Yun said is correct,” Director Sun added, “so, considering Jiang Li’s impressive performance, our production team decided to award her five good points on behalf of the village chief’s family.”

“Of course, if anyone else shows outstanding performance, they can also earn extra points.”

“It’s getting late, I need to announce the first day’s task now.”

The cast started to grumble and complain.

However, what they found even more unbelievable was yet to come.

“From now on, your transformation journey truly begins!”

“The production team has prepared six experimental fields for everyone. Before the transformation is over, you need to take care of your own fields and achieve certain results. Our director group will score everyone based on your performances.”

“So, the theme for the first day is—reclaiming waste land!”

“What?!” Wen Jiaojiao was the first to shout, “We have to do farming work in the fields? Wasn’t yesterday’s transformation enough?”

“Making us reclaim waste land under such a hot sun? Director, are you too heartless?” Shu Yan also complained incessantly.

Jiang Yan: “Damn, I’m dressed so nicely today, and now I have to go do farming work? Are you kidding me?”

[Here we go again, the ‘whining trio’ has started their act.]

[I’m dying of laughter, the three next door are as calm as can be, while these three are as irked as they get. Did the production team intentionally create a contrast group?]

[Ah, reclaiming waste land? That’s too hard on our brother, it breaks my heart.]

[Can the whiners upstairs just stop it? This is a transformation show, not a leisure lifestyle show!]

“Wait a minute.” Qi Tianyu finally realized something was off, “Are we about to start working right now? What about breakfast?”

Director Sun scratched his head and feigned ignorance, “Haven’t you had breakfast yet?”

Qi Tianyu exploded.

Of course, he hadn’t had breakfast!

Everyone in this village woke up early, and by the time he awoke, the landlord’s family had already finished their meal and gone off to work in the fields.

He had thought that the production team would have breakfast ready for them.

After all, they were exhausted from the day before, and it was their first day.

But Director Sun had essentially thrown a bucket of cold water on him.

Wen Jiaojiao and Shu Yan were also taken aback.

They were already struggling to accept the idea of doing farm work.

Now they had to work on an empty stomach.

Even joining a drama crew to lose weight wasn’t this tough.

Jiang Yan, who had been scowling all morning, could not help but smirk triumphantly at this moment:@@novelbin@@

“You can’t be serious, you all didn’t actually skip breakfast, did you?”

[Jiang Yan is such a tease.]

[I wouldn’t feel bad even if he got beaten up by a mob.]

[Help, I really want to jump through the screen and give him a good smack.]

“What do you mean?” Wen Jiaojiao asked with a frosty face, “Are you saying you ate?”

“Yeah,” Jiang Yan boasted, “Not only did I eat, but I also had a particularly good meal. Otherwise, what did you think made us late?”

The more Wen Jiaojiao listened, the angrier she got, “I knew it! The production team must have made special arrangements for you, that’s just outrageous!”

Jiang Yan quickly walked over to Jiang Li and put his hand on her shoulder, “Hey, don’t talk nonsense. My breakfast was all made by my sister. Don’t be a sour grape just because you didn’t get any.”

Jiang Li coldly slapped his hand away, “Stay away from me.”

Jiang Yan: “…” Why can’t she just give me some face?

Director Sun coughed again, “Look, I never said the production team would provide meals. You can’t pin this on me. Moreover, it is almost nine o’clock. If you can’t complete today’s task on time, you’ll miss not only breakfast but lunch too.”

With no other choice, the group could only follow Director Sun with their spirits dampened.

The test field prepared by the production crew was just behind the village chief’s house, in a gully.

The participants had assumed that the test field mentioned by Director Sun was just a small plot, maybe a dozen or so square meters.

But when they actually saw the vast expanses of overgrown wasteland, they were dumbfounded yet again.

Qi Tianyu reached out to prop up Zhang Da’s sagging jaw, “Director, this field… it’s not all for us, is it?”

Director Sun, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses and looking completely at ease, said, “Of course, all this has been leased by our production team, almost half an acre per person—just over two hundred square meters.”

“Just?” The group exclaimed in unison.

Shu Yan, while using one hand to shield her eyes from the searing sun, pouted and said, “Director Sun, you really don’t go easy on us, do you?”

“Ey,” Director Sun shook his finger, “How can I not care about you… See, I’ve even prepared tools for you?”

He said this as several crew members set up a table, which was covered with various cards.

Qi Tianyu stepped forward and picked up a card to take a look.

“Hoe, 0.5 points… surely you don’t intend for us to exchange good scores for these?”

“Qi really is a top student from Yan University.” Director Sun gave a thumbs up.

Qi Tianyu: “…” There’s no need to overpraise like that.

He then picked up a few more cards, and the prices for the items were each more outrageous than the last.

The others also followed suit, and Shu Yan, with her sharp eyes, spotted a card for a sun hat and picked it up for a closer look—blatantly marked “1 point.”

“No way, I only have a total of 18 points. Isn’t this like stealing points?”

“That’s right, Director,” Jiang Yan complained even more indignantly, “A weed cutter for 8 points? I only have a total of 9 points!”

Judging by the production crew’s usual way, lunch might also require good scores for exchange.

If he spent all his points on these tools, wouldn’t he be left to face the harsh Northwest winds?

Yet Director Sun was firm in his stance.

“No bargaining, prices are final. It’s nine o’clock sharp. Decide now or in ten minutes, the prices of these items will double.”

“Additionally, the first person to finish the task will receive five points, and the rewards will decrease for subsequent finishers.”

[Wow, the production team is ruthless.]

[I’m dying of laughter; after exchanging points for these items, the young master will be left with nothing. He already lost his luggage, and now he won’t be able to keep his good score.]

[Doesn’t this mean Sister Li can splurge freely now? I calculated, and she still has 26 points.]

[The production team is so black-hearted. I noticed that cheap farming tools like hoes are actually very affordable, but things like sun hats and gloves are marked up by twice their value.]

[Hahaha, aren’t these items clearly intended for the ladies? The sun is so intense; they’ll definitely want to exchange points for these.]
