Song Tiantian said, "While the guests were resting, the staff placed all one thousand mango products from Chongshan Island throughout the mango orchard in advance.
"You'll need to carry baskets on your backs to collect the mango products. Once the task begins, the production team will drop each group's members off at different locations.
"When two guests from the same team meet, the staff will automatically convert the mango products they've collected into portable cards like the ones in my hand."
As she spoke, Song Tiantian showed everyone the cards in her hand. The names of various mango products were written on them by category.
Jiang Yifeng ventured, "Then what if we never find our teammates?"
Song Tiantian smiled. "If you don't find your teammate, you'll naturally have to keep carrying the actual mango products."
Ye Ran sighed. "If all you find is stuff like mango juice and canned mangoes, you'll be stuck between throwing it away and carrying it."
Throwing it away would feel like a waste, but carrying it would be heavy.
Song Tiantian said, "So finding mango products is crucial, and so is finding your teammate. The mango products you find this time will be sold the day after tomorrow.
"The sales revenue will still be exchanged at a one-to-one rate. There's no deadline for this task. You can end it at any time using the pagers you're carrying.
"Staff will then come to pick you up. Please note: to test each team's mutual understanding, guests may not remain in one place for more than ten minutes."
Shen Xingcan asked, "There's no deadline, so spending an entire day searching in there would still be within the rules?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yifeng clenched his fist. "I'm staying in that mango orchard all day. That first-class seat to France is mine."
"The production team's vehicles will come to the square to pick everyone up at seven thirty. You're free to do as you please until then."
The staff soon handed out six baskets, one to each guest.
After they dispersed, Jiang Yifeng walked over to Shen Xingcan. "Captain, your foot's better?"
Shen Xingcan nodded. "Yeah, it's better."
He glanced at the basket in his hand. "It's pretty big. Even if you don't find your teammate before the show ends, you won't come away empty-handed. It'll just be heavy."
Jiang Yifeng considered it. "Captain, do you think I could leave my basket in one place, then go collect things nearby? Didn't the production team say they'd send someone to pick us up as soon as we pressed our pagers?"
More importantly, he wouldn't need to see Bai Lin's face again just to complete the task.
Shen Xingcan shrugged. "You could, but I don't think the production team will make it that easy for us. They'll most likely scatter everything far apart. Doing it your way would be no different from running a marathon."
Jiang Yifeng sighed. "True... but that mango grove is so big. How are we supposed to find anyone? And both people have to keep moving..."
Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
Shen Xingcan remarked offhandedly, "Time to test how well the guests know each other."
Jiang Yifeng poured out his woes. "Then I'm screwed. You and our youngest are the closest and know each other best. You're definitely going to leave everyone in the dust again this time. People who know better understand we're on a variety show helping farmers. Anyone who doesn't would probably think we're on a dating show."
They were a temporary team. What did they need all that mutual understanding for?
[It's a farming support show for you guys and a dating show for Shen and Xie.]
[So everyone knows Shen and Xie are of one mind~ Hehe.]
[Speaking of which, Xingcan's foot seems to have healed pretty fast. He couldn't even walk yesterday, and today he's moving around just fine.]
[Because that was just an excuse. He simply wanted his husband to carry him on his back.]
Shen Xingcan tried to reinforce his antagonistic relationship with Xie Linchuan. "...Knowing each other well doesn't necessarily mean you're close. Isn't there a saying that the person who knows you best is always your enemy?"
Jiang Yifeng declared that he would never believe any of that again. "Ha. I'd be a clown if I believed you again. I certainly wouldn't fry a heart-shaped egg for my enemy!"
Shen Xingcan argued with conviction, "That proves my point even more! You could absolutely see that fried egg as the enemy's sugar-coated bullet! It might look like a fried egg to you, but it's full of Xie Linchuan's sinister intentions!"
He was so serious that even Jiang Yifeng, who had been so adamant just moments earlier, began to wonder whether there really had been something hidden in last night's fried egg.
