Next, the production team led everyone to where they’d be staying.

Greenpeak Village is nestled in the mountains, with a winding road that snakes up to the top.

Since they’d been chosen to help out Greenpeak Village this time, the village chief and the council had put in a lot of work to get ready.

They even talked to a family who’d moved to the city and got permission to use their house.

It’s one of the rare three-story brick houses around here.

The production team kept things straightforward with the accommodations-each guest got their own room, and the setup was pretty much the same for everyone.

After dropping off their luggage, everyone gathered downstairs.

The host looked at the guests and said, “Alright, from now on, you guys are on your own to hunt down your ingredients.

“Bring them back and handle your own dinner tonight.”

Nicolas asked, “How are we supposed to find them? Can we just buy them from the villagers with our own money?”

He’d never been on a variety show before, so he had no clue how things worked.

The host chuckled. “Nope, buying ingredients with cash is off the table.

“You’ll need to pitch in and help the villagers out-trade your hard work for tonight’s dinner.”

Nicolas gave a helpless look. “Do we look like we know how to trade labor for food?”

Honestly, none of us have a clue about this kind of thing.

The host gave an awkward smile. “The production team believes

can you

do it.”

That was the whole point-watching them struggle was what made it fun.

“Alright, it’s getting late-time to head out and start hunting for

your ingredients!

“Whether you come back with a feast or nothing at all, just make sure you’re here by six o’clock at the latest,” the host said,

Caleb glanced at his watch. “It’s already past four. Is less than two hours really enough time?”

The host grinned. “Come on, I know you guys can pull it off.”

Caleb was speechless. “We don’t even believe in ourselves.

But he knew there was no point in arguing.

Alicia turned to the host and asked, “Can we merge teams or form bigger teams?

The host glanced over at Marley.

Marley spoke up, “How do you want to form the teams?”

Alicia said, “You guys know I don’t get along with Nicole and her crew, I don’t want to go out and find ingredients rust her cook for us, and I definitely don’t want to eat with them, either.

“So, can our team join forces with Team Two? We can look for ingredients together and have Hannah handle the cooking

Honestly, the thought of eating anything Nicole made-or having to sit at the same table with her-just totally killed Alaras appetite

Marley knew Alicia never sugarcoated things, so her blunt request didn’t catch him off guard.

Plus, with the main sponsor sitting right there watching, he didn’t hesitate and said. “Sure, if Team Two’s cool

up

Hannah smiled and said, “Count us in.”

Back when they were moving their luggage, Alicia had already pulled them aside to ask.

‘No way am I teaming up with Nicole in the kitchen,’ Hannah thought. ‘She’d probably pull some stunt just to mess things

up

Just look at Felicity.

If she hadn’t tagged along with Nicole and gotten stuck in the same team, she wouldn’t have gotten roasted so badly online. and her follower count wouldn’t have tanked.

If Starlight Entertainment didn’t step in, Felicity would be totally finished-no chance of making a comeback.

Hannah’s intuition was usually dead-on, and she just had this feeling Nicole was a walking jinx-anyone who got close ended up in trouble. So she’d rather steer clear.

Marley said, “Alright, you two teams will find ingredients and cook together.

“This house just happens to have two kitchens, so each team can use one.”

Hannah nodded. “No problem.”

Marley looked at Nicolas and Caleb and said, “You guys will be joining Nicole’s team.”

Mixing those two groups together was sure to spark plenty of interesting moments-great for the audience.

Nicolas wasn’t too happy about it, but the truth was, neither he nor Caleb could cook to save their lives.

He glanced at Caleb, leaving the decision up to him.

Caleb nodded. “Alright.”

Since he couldn’t team up with his own sister Nicole, this was the only option left for him

The villagers had heard that the production team was coming to film a variety show in their village, hoping how to make the place more prosperous.
