~7 min read 1,223 words

"Villagers of Yunlan Village,"

"At five o'clock in the afternoon, you can come to the Village Committee on time to receive one catty of eggs and a box of Telunsu fresh milk for free."

"The requirement for this collection is to go to the cornfield attached to the Mushroom House at the west end of the village and break thirty corns as an exchange voucher. The deadline is five o'clock in the afternoon. Gifts are limited, first come, first served."

"Gifts are limited, first come, first served."

"......"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, the entire broadcasting room was silent, as if cicadas were silent in winter.

What the hell!

So that's how it is... so all this was in Lin Yu's plan!

Lin Yu actually calculated the whole village.

From beginning to end, Lin Yu's goal has never changed!

A dazzling light flashed in the eyes of Zhang Zhang Yixing, Peng Peng, and Sister Zifeng. They were enlightened, and their blood seemed to be burning.

9,000 corns might... really be coming!

Lin Yu, he, he is not bragging, what he said is serious!

"Holy crap! This is giving me goosebumps and making my scalp tingle. This maneuver has already exceeded the value of the variety show itself."

"Damn! I finally understand Lin Yu's intention. Trade corn for eggs, then use the eggs to trade for the villagers' labor, and use the villagers' labor to get more corn! Lin Yu, are you playing a closed-loop game here?"

"Oh my god! This is simply a variety show genius!"

"The villagers got eggs and milk, Lin Yu and the others got corn, the production team got ratings, and Terunsu got advertising exposure. According to the law of conservation of mass, who is actually losing here?"

"Damn, I watch variety shows for fun, not to use my brain."

"After watching Lin Yu's show, I just dropped my business school course. I feel like it's unnecessary."

"........"

Mushroom House production team.

"Uh..."

"Director Wang, are we being a bit overconfident trying to compete with Lin Yu?"

Hearing this, Wang Wang Zhengyu felt a bit uncomfortable, but he still nodded silently.

He was too smart. Everyone originally thought shelling corn was a personal challenge task, but they didn't expect Lin Yu to be standing high above, overlooking all the villagers of Yunlan Village, intending to utilize the collective power of the entire village to help him achieve his goal.

"Hmm? What is that sound?"

The camera cuts.

It immediately startled all the production staff, leaving them wide-eyed in shock.

Outside the old Mushroom House, it was bustling and crowded with villagers from the village. Some were carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, some were holding nylon woven bags, and some had even driven their tricycles over.

"What's going on?"

"Did the village have an earthquake?"

Seeing this heavy traffic and sea of people, Wang Wang Zhengyu also frowned in confusion.

"Uh... Director Wang."

"Look at this direction."

"It seems... it seems to be the villagers who were incited by Lin Yu to go shell corn."

Assistant Director Xixi's pupils dilated, and she stammered.

Although it was overcrowded and shoulder-to-shoulder, the villagers all had honest smiles on their faces. Hahaha, thirty ears of corn for eggs and milk? Isn't that basically free?

If not now, when?

"What's going on?"

"Why is it so chaotic outside?"

Huang Lei and He Ling had just been taking a nap when they heard a burst of lively noise outside.

Pushing the door open to look, they were even more shocked by the scene of the crowd surrounding the entrance, blocking it completely.

"What's going on, folks?"

Huang Lei grabbed the arm of an uncle and asked.

They hadn't heard of any village market events happening these past two days!

"No time, don't hold me back."

The uncle wearing a headscarf didn't pay any attention to Huang Lei at all. Muttering to himself, he pushed Huang Lei aside and immediately followed the clamoring crowd.

At this moment, the only thing in the uncle's eyes was those thirty ears of corn. Forget Huang Lei; even if the Jade Emperor came, it wouldn't matter. The old man was determined to get that milk and eggs today. He said it, and even Jesus couldn't stop him.

"Teacher Huang, they seem... they seem to be helping us shell corn!"

He Ling stood on tiptoe to look. At this sight, his heart felt like ten thousand horses were galloping, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Ah? No way."

Hearing this, Huang Lei blinked his signature fast blinks and grinned in shock.

Helping the Mushroom House shell corn???

Damn, looking out there, there must be at least a thousand people!

The live stream chat was also blowing up.

"Hahahaha, my god! So many villagers actually came; it's truly unexpected!"

"Holy crap! It's making me restless too. If I could go to the scene, I'd definitely sign up to participate."

"Pfft! I'm not worried about Lin Yu anymore; instead, I'm a bit worried that these 9,000 ears of corn won't be enough for this group of villagers to shell."

"Hahaha, it really seems that way. Watching the villagers' anxious little steps, I'm getting nervous too."

"I'm truly impressed by Lin Yu. In the morning, I thought this was a fantasy, but now I'm afraid of ruining the villagers' fun. Can the production team clear out another field? With this momentum, do you think your two acres of farmland are enough?!"

"No, this is too intense! If I didn't know better, I'd think Lin Yu was organizing a team-building event for the villagers! It's making my blood boil, and I'm even a little teary-eyed. What's going on?"

"Me too, for some reason, I'm inexplicably moved."

"........."

Meanwhile,

Lin Yu, along with Zhang Yixing, Peng Peng, and little sister Sister Zifeng, had already stationed themselves in the cornfield in advance.

Methodical!

Orderly!

Clearly divided tasks!

Lin Yu was responsible for receiving the villagers one by one, dividing the two acres into five zones to avoid missing any spots during the harvest.

Zhang Yixing and Peng Peng were responsible for counting and verifying the amount of corn harvested.

Little sister Sister Zifeng was responsible for handing out exchange vouchers.

At a glance, if you didn't look at the location, you'd really think it was some shopping mall holding a large-scale event!

"Grandpa, walk slowly."

Lin Yu just wanted to reach out to support the old man, but he was directly declined.

"Young man, this isn't a bus; you don't need to support me. I can stand just fine."

"......"

Lin Yu: ???

Awesome! The grandpa knows how to manage his stamina!

"Young man, can I shell 60? Just give me five minutes."

Just as an auntie wanted to speak, shouts came from the side.

"I only need four minutes."

"I need three minutes."

At first, everyone thought these people were joking,

but the grandpas and aunties showed Lin Yu and the others what it means for professionals to do professional work.

These seemingly frail old people, upon learning that corn could be traded for milk and eggs,

their backs no longer ached, and their ears were no longer deaf.

Even a few grandpas with canes or in wheelchairs leaned forward, eager to try, wanting to grab an exchange voucher.

"Brother Lin Yu!"
