The production team awarded the tasks to the guest groups according to the original plan.

They specifically designed several task points, and guests could choose the projects they wanted to undertake based on their own preferences.

Completing the relevant tasks would earn corresponding rewards, which were generally monetary, though the show could be quite cheeky at times.

There were five task points in total, but it wasn’t required for each task point to have someone, which means two or more groups could go to the same task point to complete tasks.

The director made this point very clear when announcing the tasks.

Mia Sutton looked at the five tasks, which included swimming, helping vendors sell vegetables without being noticed, assisting local residents with farm work, climbing mountains to find items specified by the production team, and racing cars.

Each task had corresponding rewards, with the biggest amount for racing since it involved racing against professional drivers, offering as much as a hundred bucks, while the others were eighty, fifty, twenty, and twenty respectively.

Everyone looked at the five tasks in front of them.

How come selling vegetables and doing farm work are grouped with swimming and racing?!!!

How bizarre. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

After discussing, everyone chose the tasks they wanted to go to, and after Mia Sutton finished looking at the options, she quietly turned her head to Jensen Sterling and said, "Mr. Sterling, let’s choose racing."

When Mia saw the racing option, if it weren’t for the cameras recording, she might have jumped up with excitement.

Jensen lowered his head and looked at Mia, who was so excited that her eyes were glowing.

"Want to play?"

Mia nodded vigorously: "Yeah." Plus, it’s with professional racers, missing such an opportunity would be a pity.

Another group of guests also wanted to choose racing, and that guest was Natalie Jennings.

Seeing her ten bucks, she felt really ashamed of her poverty, so they directly chose the fastest way to make money.

The other guest groups had already left, leaving only their two groups.

The director chuckled and said, "Have you confirmed that you want to choose racing?"

Natalie nodded decisively, thinking it would be foolish not to earn money.

Mia also nodded, as there was fun to be had and money to earn.

The director, seeing this, looked over Mia and Natalie with a smiling gaze, especially lingering longer on Natalie: "Pay the handling fee first... twenty.

[Hahaha, what a bolt from the blue, not even enough to cover the handling fee with all of their money added up.]

Mia couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Mia’s beautiful eyes blinked mischievously: "Sister Jiang, I can lend it to you."

Natalie’s eyes lit up immediately and she went over and gave Mia a big hug, giving her a solid kiss, saying emotionally: "In critical moments, we still rely on Mia darling, what a little fairy you are, come give sister one more kiss."

[Sister Jiang, don’t keep kissing, have you seen the two guys over there, their eyes practically have daggers in them.]

Mia tilted her head and said with a sly smile, "But, borrowing money comes with conditions."

Natalie waved her hand: "Just say it, whatever the condition, sister will agree to it." She said it with such bighearted boldness.

Then Mia casually stretched out five fingers: "Borrow ten, pay fifteen back, five bucks interest." She said it in such a lighthearted tone, using the kindest words to convey the cruelest terms.

The next second, Natalie immediately let go of Mia’s arm and hurried over to the director, changing her expression so quickly: "Director, let’s negotiate, lend me a little money first, I’ll pay you back when we’re done."

The director glanced at Natalie, then over at Mia not far away, and said earnestly, "Borrowing money is possible, borrow ten pay back twenty."

Natalie: "..."

[Director, honestly confess, did you learn this on the spot from Mia.]

[Director: Not only did I learn it on the spot, I can even sell it on the spot and raise the price while selling.]

Natalie gritted her teeth, then forced a very friendly smile: "Then can I just get on credit for now?"

The director said leisurely: "This program is poor, no credits available."

...

Natalie: "Mia darling, I guess I’ll borrow from you, the director team is so heartless, can’t you make it a bit cheaper?" She returned to Mia’s side with a smile.

After speaking, she even glanced at Jensen: "Jensen, see if you can persuade your wife."

[The speed at which you left Mia was fast, giving up on the director even quicker, truly living up to your name, Sister Jiang.]

Jensen showed a helpless expression: "I always listen to her, whatever Mia says goes, she can decide."

[Wow, Jensen, you really mastered the art of language.]

[Dude, where did you study the brotherhood of men, share the link, I need to sign up my husband for a class so he can learn instead of just being a rebellious kid annoying me all day.]

Jensen was unaware of the comments; if he knew, he would probably respond: Mia’s specialty, non-transferable, not for sale.

Mia thought for a bit: "Alright then, I’ll give you a discount, four bucks interest."

[I’ve laughed myself to death, these two are going to be the end of me, said they’d decrease it, and they really just decreased it a bit, Mia you’re truly a little money-grubber.]

[Mia: Have I really exposed my miserly nature so thoroughly.]

In the end, Natalie still borrowed from Mia and Jensen; she had no other choice, the production team was even more ruthless, so she had to pick the lesser of two evils.

But she completely forgot that this ruthless tactic was taught to the production team by Mia herself, a true original.

After paying the handling fee to the production team, the two groups took cars to the task location.

It was a very formal racecourse, and the professional racers the production team had contacted beforehand were already there, though retired, it was still impressive to have them.

The two groups arrived more or less at the same time, and after the judge read the rules and precautions, the challenge could officially begin.

Since they were up against professional racers, the production team was lenient with the requirements; as long as their time wasn’t more than ten seconds slower than the professional racers, they succeeded in the challenge, with up to three opportunities.

On Natalie’s side, Evan Spencer was the one racing, and before going on, Natalie generously gave Evan a kiss on the cheek: "Hubby, do your best."

Evan smiled helplessly and said okay, he’s played this kind of thing before, but had never competed against professional racers; whether he could succeed in the challenge was really uncertain.

But he would give it his best effort.

In the end, Evan was fifteen seconds slower than the opponent, marking the first challenge as a failure.

Natalie: "It’s alright, hubby, we were close, and there are two more chances, we can definitely succeed."
