Chapter 207
Devin lowered his gaze. He thought, Over the past few days, I've come to realize just how important Selina is to Trevon. She s not just a pretty face managing external affairs, he's truly invested this time. In the past, minor matters like these would have been led to me, without Trevon getting Involved. But because it's about Selina, he's taking charge himself, even canceling commitments to watch the live broadcast of her variety show. If in had been the old days, Devin would have never believed Trevon could change so much. But now, seeing it firsthand, he had no choice but to accepit it Devin mused, Life, indeed, is full of unpredictable twists'
As Ashley and the others bustled in the kitchen preparing breakfast, Pamela's delighted voice suddenly echoed through the room. "Selina, you're finally back! Where have you been, and what are you carrying?"
Upon hearing that Selina had returned and done something. Joseph, despite his determination to ignore her, couldn't help but glance over. He wondered. Is Selina holding a basket filled with some rather black and nondescript wild vegetables! Did she go out early this morning just to gather these!
Selina casually handed the basket to Lydia. "Lydia, TII leave this to you"
"Leave it to me. I'll clean it up right away? Lydia said, taking the basket and skipping off to the kitchen Max and Lance, overhearing the commotion couldn't resist poking their heads out. After all, Selina had become the star of the variety show with every move she made under the spodight
Selina explained to Pamela, "Yesterday, Lydia and I went to the mountains to complete the task of gathering medicinal herbs and found something I returned early this morning to harvest them at their peak to ensure they retained their potency. The shopkeeper rewarded me with several items for completing the task, so I'm planning to prepare a medicinal diet tonight"
"Medicinal dict? You can make that too? Cod, Selina, is there anything you can't do? You're practically a genius Pamela's eyes widened in awe. Selina's hidden talents alone were enough to leave anyone in awe and admiration, without needing any more added idolization. Pamela thought, "On top of that, she's an extraordinary chef? How can anyone compete with dur??
Faced with such sincere praise from a fan, Selina didn't know how to respond. "Uh, it's nothing special." It was her first time encountering such a sincere fan.
"Honey, pull yourself together" Oliver tried to calm her down.
He couldn't watch her any longer and rugged at Pamela's sleeve. Realizing she had overreacted, Pamela coughed lightly. "Sorry, Selina. I'm a huge fan of Meteorite Queen and got a bit carried away meeting you, I hope you can forgive me."
(Hahaha! Pamela's reaction is just like mine when I fangirl]
[I warns out even celebrities can become deluded fans.]
(Celebrities are
are people with everyday needs and not otherworldly beings. Of course, they're just like us.]
(If my idol suddenly revealed their true identity in front of me, I wouldn't be able to react as intensely as Pamela. With my social anxiety, I might not even be able to speak I
I can totally relate to the above commenter!
After fangirling and getting an autograph, Pamela was thoroughly satisfied. As a fellow celebrity, she understood the irritation of constant fan attention. Punting herself in Selina's shoes, Pamela didn't want to be disliked by her. "Selina, what kind of medicinal diet are you planning to make We don't have extra cooking equipment here, so it seems impossible, doesn't cAll text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
As a seasoned chef who had casted Selina's exceptional and far-from-ordinary cooking, Lance couldn't help but lean in and ask. He wondered. Even with nutrient-rich, pesticide-free wild medicinal herbs from the mountains, how can one prepare a nutritious and delicious medicinal diet without proper cooking equipment in such a primitive setting? Lance was highly skeptical.
"Mr. Hilcast, just wait and see? Selina left Lance in suspense and headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. She kept it simple with pumpkin oatmeal and bagels, saving the medicinal diet for the evening. The freshly made food looked and smelled delicious. Lydia's carefree eating drew countless viewers across Clusia, making their breakfasts seen better just from watching.
Joseph and the others finished their meals first and planned to head out to find a task. This time, they were determined to outperform Selina and avoid losing face again. As they passed by, seeing Selina and Lydia enjoying their meal so much, Joseph and Oliver couldn't help but secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva
Although Ashley's cooking was decent and her maple bacon oatmeal breakfast was good, Selina's dishes smelled far more enticing, and almost dangerously so. Ashley fumed as she saw Joseph and Garrett's reactions, Pamela's Lawning over Selina after her true identity was revealed, and the online praise Selina received at her expense. Even Lance and Max, who are seasoned veterans, were growing closer to Selina. Ashley felt infuriated. Originally, this show was meant to be her big break. It was meant to be a stepping stone to elevate her to a B-list actress, supported by Harvey Groupés resources and Joseph's help. However, Selina's presence has not only ruined this opportunity but also left Ashley facing potential public
At this moment, the production team released new instructions. The task requirements for the day had changed. There was a new theme of

promoting Clusia's rich cultural heritage. The guests would earn generous rewards if the tasks could be completed according to this theme. The production team emphasized the word generous. Max and other veteran participants raised their eyebrows at this new twist. This was a significant change in the fourth season. Previously, the tasks on Serenity of Rural Life had always centered on a carefree experience. involving stays in the countryside, farming, completing villagers tasks, savoring sunrises and sunsets, and embracing rustic charm and childhood simplicity. Celebrities would head to the countryside, farm, chat, and enjoy the scenic beauty and fresh air. This relaxed atmosphere, which removed their glamorous personas, had captivated a large audience for several seasons. However, the format was beginning to feel stale and lacking in novelty, leading to a gradual decline in the show's popularity, despite its loyal fanbase.
A change came with risks, but stagnation was a dead end. The production team understood this well. Although Selina's presence had made the fourth season a sensation, what would happen after she left? The fans drawn by Selina would inevitably fade away with her departure. It needed to stay fresh and engaging to keep the show appealing long-term. Though the change was a gamble that might upset old fans, it could attract new ones if done well and eventually win over the old fans. True fans who loved the show would want it to improve, not remain stagnant and reach a dead
end..
The production team cleverly combined the trend of showcasing the country's rich cultural heritage with a patriotic theme, enhancing the show's quality Ashley's eyes lit up as she thought, "This is it!"
