The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 447

Next, the production team announces the core tasks. They assign everyone a basic room and a single meal for the day. From this point on, they have to work for their food.

"You can earn your meals and upgrade your living conditions by helping cultivate the fields or developing specialized nutrient solutions for the medicinal plants," the host explains. "If you don't have experience in that area, you can also earn resources through talent performances or other trades—as long as someone is willing to compensate you."

The rules instantly spark a flicker of annoyance in Jade and Evan. The setup is clearly skewed in favor of those with pharmaceutical expertise. But Jade quickly brushes it off. With her mother secretly feeding her answers through an earpiece, she has nothing to worry about. She plans to flaunt her professional knowledge and show everyone she is just as talented at dancing and playing instruments. A smug sense of satisfaction swells in her chest.

With no open objections, the cast heads to their assigned quarters. They step inside and freeze. The rooms are completely bare, save for a simple bed and a cheap wardrobe.

Nikolai and Evan, both raised in the lap of luxury, have never experienced anything this Spartan. Even when they go camping, it is a glamorous affair with high-end gear and total comfort.

"We're staying here? On this bed?" Evan blurts out.

"Can't you switch us to a better room?" Nikolai quickly adds.

"No. Unless you excel in the tasks and earn the bonuses to upgrade your hotel and dining packages," the host replies with polite firmness.

Giving them five-star treatment right off the bat defeats the purpose of the show. Besides, real scientific researchers dedicate their lives to the nation while living on modest salaries. Enduring hardship is part of the journey to greatness.
