Micah nodded in agreement. “Then we should pick more.”

The two gradually fell into a rhythm. Oriana led the way, with one picking from odd- numbered rows and the other from even–numbered ones, their coordination seamless.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kenny wasn’t particularly interested in this kind of leisurely experiential activity.

Picking coffee berries was nowhere near as fun as gaming.

Zara, seeing him lazing about without moving a muscle, grew irritated and gave him a light kick.

She bared her teeth at him. “Don’t you dare slack off!”

“Tsk, is it really that serious? Do we need to be so competitive over a little contest like this?”

“Of course we do! You don’t get it–this is the fun!”

Kenny pursed his lips, unconvinced. “Well, I’m certainly not feeling any fun.”

Zara’s eyes sparkled with a sudden idea. “Oh, I get it. Is it because you’ve never beaten Micah at anything since you were little, so you think you can’t win this time either and just gave up?”

As expected, reverse psychology worked like a charm on a simple creature like Kenny.

He immediately exploded. “Who says I’ve never beaten him? That’s a joke! Sure, Micah is amazing, but I… I’m not bad either, okay?!”

Zara crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow as she looked him up and down leisurely. “Really? I thought even in a simple physical task like this, you couldn’t compare to Micah.”

“Damn it, what’s with that look? You’re actually looking down on me?”

His pride thoroughly stung, Kenny’s competitive spirit ignited. “Just you wait! I’ll make you eat your words!”

With that, he rolled up his sleeves, stomped off with heavy steps, and using his height advantage, scanned the area. “There are more ripe ones over there! I’m heading there!”

Zara called after him, “Be careful! We need the ripe red cherries. The green ones aren’t ready, and the overripe black ones are no good either!”

Kenny, brimming with fighting spirit, didn’t look back. “Just relax! My eyesight is flawless!”

Half an hour later, the four regrouped and brought their harvest to the processing shed at the back of the plantation.

Oriana, Micah, and Zara had gathered roughly similar amounts of plump, red cherries, their results fairly even

As for Kenny…

With a thud, he dropped his fully packed woven basket on the ground, the sound solid and weighty,

Kenny brushed off his slightly dusty clothes and lifted his chin proudly. “I alone gathered as much as you three combined”

Oriana gave a thumbs–up in admiration. “We concede defeat. Lunch is on us.”

Zara grinned widely, offering Kenny a rare compliment. “Not bad! Having brawn does come in handy sometimes”

“…Can’t you give a proper compliment?”

“Yes, yes. The mighty and powerful Mr. Kenny Caldwell. Thank you for leading us to victory!”

Kenny accepted this grudgingly. “That’s more like it!”

Amid laughter and chatter, the four handed over their harvested cherries to the plantation guide, ready for the next step.

However, the guide stared intently at Kenny’s overflowing basket, his expression growing pensive.

“This…”

Kenny assumed the guide was displeased with him picking too much and immediately declared magnanimously, “I’ll pay double. That should cover these, right?”

Hearing this, the guide’s expression turned even graver. “No need. I won’t accept payment.”

“Hey, don’t be polite with us.”

“It’s not that. I genuinely cannot accept money for this.”

The guide finally sighed, looking at Kenny with undisguised sympathy. “Your entire basket… is filled with pyracantha berries from the ornamental firethorn bushes by the fence. They look similar but are completely different. They’re… inedible, and certainly not coffee.”

Kenny was stunned,
