Aaron suggested, “Leon and I will join you ladies, then.”
Leon wanted to team up with Rebecca, so he was speechless. He had planned to resolve the misunderstanding with Rebecca. This guy is holding me back. “I’m fine with either option.”
He joined this variety show to clear things up with Rebecca and take care of Rosie. Teaming up with Rosie would make it easier to achieve one of his goals.
One team was formed. Zac looked at Eric and said, “Hey, those guys just teamed up with some ladies. Why don’t we do the same?”
Eric was easygoing and replied, “No problem. I wonder if the ladies would accept our offer, though.” He smiled at Keira and Rebecca. “So, would you like to team up with us?”
Keira and Rebecca exchanged glances. They knew what the other was thinking, and they both said, “Sure.”
Alright, now we have two teams of four. There will definitely be clashes in the future. The director was pleased with how things were starting. “And now, it’s time for you to take charge.” The director and some members of the production team retreated to a corner of the courtyard. Only the live stream’s cameraman followed the guests.
After descending the mountain and feeling exhausted, they decided to rest before starting their work for food. The teams went into separate rooms to discuss their plans.
Zac sat down lazily and looked at his team members. “Should we go straight to the village and ask the villagers one by one if they need help with anything?” He had no idea what to do. He had never participated in a variety show like this before.
Eric agreed, “We don’t know the villagers, so that’s our only option.”
Keira shared the same opinion. “I agree.”
Rebecca spoke up, “I have a suggestion.”
Her team members turned their attention to her. “What is it?”
“We can visit the village head and learn more about the village. Then we can find out which families need help and go directly to their houses. That way, we can save a lot of time. We can also ask if the village committee needs our assistance.”
Rebecca’s team members’ eyes lit up. “That’s a great idea.”
Why didn’t we think of that? The proposal was unanimously agreed upon. They assumed that Leon’s team would go door-to-door like they planned. They didn’t want Leon’s team to steal their idea, so they chatted and only left after Leon’s team had departed as well.
They saw Leon’s team heading towards the entrance of the village to ask the first household if they needed help. Rebecca’s team asked a villager and found the village committee. The village head was aware of the production team’s plan to shoot a variety show in the village, and they had agreed to it. They had already informed the villagers about it before the team’s arrival. The village head was surprised that these celebrities had come to him.
He stood up, smiling, and greeted the celebrities warmly. He asked, “So, what brings you here?”
Rebecca replied, “We would like to learn more about the village and see if anyone needs our help. In return, we only ask for food.” She added, “And please let it be tasks that we can handle.”
Oh, they came for information first. Smart move. “This village is somewhat remote due to its location and transportation issues. We have around a hundred households here. Most of the able-bodied men and women have gone to work elsewhere, so it’s mostly children and the elderly here,” the village head explained.
After a moment of contemplation, he continued, “There are a few households that might need your help more. Deuce’s family is currently harvesting their fruits, and they could use more assistance. Then there’s Fivo’s family…”
Rebecca borrowed a pen from the village head and wrote down everything he said. She asked him about the locations where the villagers lived and drew a simple map based on the village head’s description.
After finishing their conversation, the village head bid them farewell. Rebecca pointed at the broken tractor in the courtyard and asked, “Is that tractor out of order?”
The village head nodded. “Yes, it broke down suddenly two weeks ago. We tried to find someone to fix it, but nothing happened.” Due to budget constraints, they were still debating whether to purchase a new one.
Curious, Zac inquired, “Can a tractor even navigate through the village’s roads?” But the director said it’s difficult for a motorbike to enter.
The village head smiled. “You came through a smaller path. We have a wider and less steep road that leads to the town. A tractor can pass through that road.”
The team finally realized that the director had deceived them. Rebecca refocused her attention on the tractor. “It must be inconvenient that the tractor is broken, isn’t it?”
The village head sighed. “Yes, it is. We were planning to get some fertilizer from the town, but since the tractor broke down, that plan had to be put on hold.”
Rebecca smiled and proposed, “If we can repair that item for you, would it be possible for us to receive some food in return?” She was determined not to miss this opportunity to have dinner.
The village head was taken aback. “Are you all capable of repairing tractors?”
Rebecca’s team members were momentarily stunned, then they turned to look at Rebecca. “You can repair tractors?” We can’t. The fact that she’s asking implies that she can?
Rebecca affirmed, “I can.” Having gained extensive knowledge about machines from her travels through different worlds, she had acquired considerable expertise. Fixing a tractor was a straightforward task for her.
Everyone was astonished by her ability to repair a tractor.
The village head had his doubts, but he smiled at Rebecca anyway. “I see. We’re counting on you then, Miss Collins.” The tractor was already broken. He didn’t mind letting the celebrity play with it. If she could fix it, they wouldn’t have to get a new one, and the money could be used for something else.
Since she had received permission, Rebecca checked the tractor and quickly found the issue. There were some tools in the committee’s office, so she took them and started fixing the tractor. The live stream’s viewers watched curiously.
‘Can she really fix tractors?’
‘There’s no way. This must be some clickbait.’
‘The village head just said they hired someone to fix it, but they failed. There’s no way she can fix this.’
‘She’s going to end up failing hours later, but she still volunteered herself. All to set up an onscreen persona.’
‘Hey, you have a point.’
‘This is a waste of everyone’s time.’
‘What a fake.’
Rosie’s, Aaron’s, and Leon’s fans quickly left hate comments for Rebecca. They claimed to be detectives and said Rebecca would show her true colors eventually. Rebecca’s fans never heard her claim she knew how to fix tractors, but they defended her.
The other viewers were swayed by the hate comments and thought Rebecca had no idea how to fix tractors. According to them, this was just a show.
Twenty minutes later, Rebecca put the tools back. She told the village head, “Done.”
The village head was surprised. “Done?”
Rebecca said, “See for yourself.”
The village head nodded. He took the keys and revved the tractor up. The engine started to roar a little. Surprised, he said, “Oh, it’s fixed.” He drove the tractor around. “You’re awesome, Miss Collins. The guy I hired couldn’t even fix it, and he spent hours on it, but you did it in less than thirty minutes.”
Rebecca’s team members were surprised by her success. Wow. She knows how to fix tractors.
Curious, Keira asked, “How did you learn how to fix a tractor?”
Rebecca smiled. “I took an elective in machinery back in university.”
Keira stared into Rebecca’s eyes. She did not expect Rebecca to have taken up that kind of elective. Curious, she asked, “So what did you major in? Something related?”
Rebecca didn’t lie. She said, “I majored in geomancy.” That was no secret. Anyone could find out about that if they wanted to. Geomancy was popular in this world. Many higher education institutions offered that kind of course. She learned geomancy from her mentor since she was a child, and she applied for the course because she liked it. Everyone was surprised that Rebecca majored in geomancy.
Keira smiled. “So, you know physiognomy and geomancy, then?” Many in the entertainment industry believed in geomancy. Her manager loved asking geomancers to predict the future.
Rebecca smiled. “Of course.”
Keira asked, “Can you read my fortune, then?”
“Sure. When we have a break,” said Rebecca.
Keira wasn’t going to ask Rebecca to do it right away. It wouldn’t be right to do it in a live stream. The viewers, on the other hand, were shocked that Rebecca fixed the tractor, majored in geomancy, and took machinery as an elective.
‘Wow, she actually fixed it. It wasn’t a show. I almost believed you guys.’
