Chapter 73

“It’s only been ten minutes, and we’ve already got five hundred corn cobs accounted for.”

Little Sister Sister Zifeng looked on in disbelief as the vouchers in her hand were snatched away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Hahahaha.”

“Brother, this is too fast.”

“Brother Yu, I can barely keep count anymore. Stop letting so many people in at once!”

Although Zhang Yixing and Peng Peng were exhausted from counting, their mouths were stretched almost to their ears.

Just look at this! This is what you call real corn-picking!

Damn it!

In this godforsaken place called Mushroom House,

I have never fought such a wealthy battle in my life.

These villagers each had a few acres of land and had been doing farm work since they were children; they knew exactly how to use leverage to save time, and coupled with the heated atmosphere, they had all unleashed their potential.

Fifteen minutes later,

“There are only 50 vouchers left!”

Little Sister Sister Zifeng counted the tickets in her palm and said.

Although her voice wasn't loud, it immediately drew the attention of the entire crowd.

What?

Only fifty vouchers left?!

Hearing Little Sister Sister Zifeng’s words, a commotion immediately broke out outside the cornfield.

A visible atmosphere of tension spread across the villagers' faces.

“Young man! I beg you, just let me in!”

“Wuwuwu! I already promised my family I’d bring a voucher home, please give me a chance!”

“Young man, can I pay to get in!?”

As soon as these words were spoken, they resonated with the hundreds of villagers nearby.

These eggs and milk were worth at least a hundred yuan; it would be worth it just to trade for an entry ticket!

“I’ll offer 10 yuan.”

“I’ll offer 20 yuan.”

“I’ll offer 40 yuan.”

“Can I offer a hundred yuan? Not for anything else, I just want to go in and experience it.”

“......”

“Uh...”

Lin Yu scratched his head when he saw this scene.

He really hadn't expected the villagers to be this competitive?!

“Production team!”

“Do you still have any work for us to do!?”

“Can’t you see that the labor force is a bit excessive right now?”

Lin Yu grabbed the walkie-talkie from the cameraman and roared at the Mushroom House directing team.

It exploded!

Just after Lin Yu finished this sentence, the number of viewers in the live stream surged directly to 20 million!

“Holy crap! What kind of legendary scene is this!? Little Sister Sister Zifeng is getting hand cramps from handing out vouchers, Zhang Yixing and Peng Peng are laughing their heads off while counting corn, and our Brother Yu is starting to yell at the production team. This is too exciting!”

“Hahahaha, this old man is so real. On the bus, he’s frail and elderly, but when it comes to snatching eggs and milk, he’s a Grandmaster of Internal Energy—unstoppable.”

“My god! Is this still the Mushroom House cornfield? It’s practically become a Shura field for experts to compete in. Why are people paying for tickets to get in? It’s killing me!”

“Damn! It’s over in less than half an hour? 9,000 corn cobs were picked just like that?”

“And Lin Yu required everyone to take the corn and vouchers to the collection point to exchange for eggs and milk, which means there isn't even any trouble with transportation.”

“Wow, it’s true. Lin Yu is too awesome. This is equivalent to finishing the ultimate task the production team planned for two months.”

“Hey! Why is the screen black?”

“I can’t see anything. Who the hell turned off the lights?”

“........”

Mushroom House production team.

“It’s bad, Director Wang. Because there are too many people, the live stream line has crashed.”

“We’ve already contacted the main station to get us a dedicated line.”

“I’ll give you five minutes. It must be fixed as soon as the commercial break ends. This is no longer a simple Mushroom House broadcast accident, you understand.”

Wang Wang Zhengyu said with a stern face and a heavy voice.

That’s right!

Surely all the major television stations in the country are watching Fruit TV right now. If they drop the ball at this moment, they’ll be laughed to death by the domestic media industry, especially their arch-rival, Jiangzhe TV.

Other competitive shows like 'Running Man' have no issues with their live streams; it would be inexcusable for a farm-stay show like theirs to have an accident.

“What?”

“Already 20 million people?”

Wang Wang Zhengyu also received a warm greeting from the head of Fruit TV.

“Don’t worry, Director, I will definitely seize this opportunity.”

The message just sent by the director also made all the staff at Mushroom House jump for joy.

They have achieved a 17% viewership rating!

Although it doesn't compare to the data of 'Running Man', it is enough to satisfy everyone.

That show has six or seven permanent guests, plus guest stars; every episode is a big production.

These few small wooden houses at Mushroom House naturally can’t compare.

And among everyone, the most excited one is probably the sponsor, the brand Telunsu.

Just a moment ago, their stock price inexplicably rose by 5%. All shareholders and directors were confused; there were no special promotional activities, so how could the increase be so large?

They finally figured out the result: it was all because they sponsored Mushroom House, and it was driven up by Lin Yu’s popularity.

Spending 4 million in advertising fees and getting a return of 1 billion—this return ratio is off the charts.

“Is there a possibility of signing Lin Yu as an endorser?”

Telunsu also paused their internal meeting and immediately chose a new topic.

Over at the cornfield,

upon seeing that the vouchers were gone,

the villagers were unwilling to give up and insisted on helping Lin Yu clear the corn stalks as well.

In the end, they had to let the village chief, Hao Dabao, come forward to explain, and after everyone received two bottles of milk, it finally came to an end.

[Ding]

[Congratulations to the host: Task completed]

[Reward: 3000 system mall points]

Hearing this metallic chime, Lin Yu finally let out a long breath.

“Brother Lin Yu, you...”

Little Sister Sister Zifeng originally wanted to praise Lin Yu.

But looking at Lin Yu’s near-heavenly handsome face, plus the muscles bulging under his sweat after being busy for a while, she suddenly felt a bit shy.

Little Sister Sister Zifeng also attends the Beijing Film Academy, and although there are many handsome young men there, none can compare to Lin Yu; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a difference between clouds and mud.

Creating miracles time and time again also made Little Sister Sister Zifeng’s heart flutter. Which young girl doesn't dream of love? With the words on the tip of her tongue, she could only mumble and brush it off.

“Brother! Is it over just like that?”

Peng Peng and Zhang Zhang Yixing couldn't believe their eyes.

It felt like a lifetime ago!

Just this morning, this was still a cornfield that had left the two brothers of Mushroom House in near despair.

It’s not even evening yet, and the matter has been resolved so smoothly?
