Chapter 8 Eating Too Much Affects Intelligence

The other guests were all surprised to see Leonard.

Since Leonard entered the entertainment industry with a casual attitude, he became famous for being straightforward and flamboyant. His handsome face contrasted sharply with his sharp and caustic remarks.

With a strong background, no one dared to offend Leonard, and he gained a large fan base in the entertainment industry, making him truly the most popular male star.

When Finn saw Leonard, his face darkened even more. He had always been at odds with him, maintaining politeness on the surface but disliking him inwardly.

In the end, it was because his own backing wasn't as strong as Leonard's, and there was a bit of jealousy involved, but mostly it was because of Bianca.

When she first debuted, she once attended a party hosted by the Johnson Group Entertainment with Finn, and Leonard happened to be there too.

Bianca approached him and said, "Hello, Leonard, I've watched your competitions, and I'm a fan of yours."

Leonard's fans all called him Leonard, and he didn't mind that, but seeing Bianca's pretentious demeanor at the time, he was instantly disgusted.

He immediately retorted, "Can you make your voice sound normal before you speak?"

Bianca was utterly humiliated and cried in her room all night, with her five brothers taking turns to comfort her.

The memory of that incident was still fresh, and Bianca was momentarily stunned when she saw Leonard, but quickly regained her composure.

No matter how sharp Leonard's words were, he was still a man, and she didn't believe she couldn't win him over.

The other guests greeted Leonard with various thoughts in mind, except for Aurora, who wasn't surprised. She had seen this in her previous life and had no intention of provoking Leonard.

She insisted on participating to gain more fans, as the more people liked her, the longer she could live.

At this moment, the live stream's popularity reached a new height, with more viewers joining in.

【Am I seeing this right? Leonard! He's actually participating in this show!】

【I can't believe the production team managed to get Leonard. He's notoriously picky.】

【I saw the official announcement from the production team. The guests will live in a village on the mountain for a while, experiencing farming and self-sufficient living. Can Leonard handle it?】

【Looking forward to it. This is like a novel where a wealthy person ends up in the countryside. I want to see how Leonard will cope.】

At this moment, all the guests had arrived, and the host got out of another car and stood in front of them.

"Hello, everyone. Welcome to the first episode of 'Harmony Haven.' Let me explain the rules."

"Our show will last for a week, during which we will live-stream your lives to the audience, showing your most authentic selves."

"During this week, you will live in a village on the mountain, participate in farming, and be self-sufficient."

"The production team will provide each of you with a specific phone for communication."

"During this time, you cannot use your own money. You need to find ways to obtain food using your skills and exchange with the villagers."

"I believe everyone will perform well. Good luck!"

The staff explained with a smile, and Finn immediately frowned and couldn't help but ask, "How do we exchange food without money?"

"You can choose to help the villagers with labor or use other skills to exchange for food."

"Labor? I've never done farm work."

Finn spoke without thinking, and as soon as he finished, Mia and Bianca also looked at the production team staff.

They had never done farm work either and couldn't possibly lower themselves to work in the fields. After all, the fields were dirty, and they didn't want to embarrass themselves in front of the audience.

"You can figure it out yourselves. The villagers are simple farmers, so don't worry."

Hearing this, the three of them showed a hint of dissatisfaction. Asking them to farm was clearly making things difficult.

Joseph had been standing quietly on the side. He had played similar roles before and knew a bit about it, so he wasn't worried.

Andrew had lived with his grandfather in the mountains as a child and helped with chores, so this was no problem for him.

Aurora had lived in a church since childhood and did all sorts of tasks. The teacher at the church also grew vegetables and raised chickens, ducks, and fish, so farm work was no big deal for her.

Leonard had a nonchalant attitude. Although he grew up with a silver spoon, he wasn't that pampered.

The eight of them quickly got ready to set off. The production team unloaded everyone's luggage from the car, and except for Mia, everyone had one suitcase.

"Alright, the production team's car can only take you this far. You'll have to walk the rest of the way up the mountain and carry your own luggage."

As soon as the production team finished speaking, Mia's face changed. She had prepared two large suitcases of clothes and makeup for this show.

If she had to carry them up the mountain herself, it would be exhausting.

Bianca also looked troubled. Before coming, Michael had specifically reminded her to pay attention to her image and to appear as pure as possible.

She agreed with Michael and wore this outfit, but with such high heels and a suitcase, how could she climb the mountain?

"We have to carry our own luggage? What kind of rule is that? Are you deliberately making things difficult for us?"

Finn had never endured such hardship since childhood. In the entertainment industry, he relied on the Johnson Group's backing, and no one dared to trouble him. This was a first.

"Are you paranoid? Why would they deliberately make things difficult for you? If you don't want to come, you don't have to."

Leonard, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, immediately putting Finn in an awkward position.

Aurora was momentarily stunned, feeling secretly pleased. She didn't expect Leonard to be so forceful. She was about to speak but was preempted by him.

"Leonard, Finn didn't mean that, he..."

Bianca seized the opportunity to get close to Leonard, but before she could finish, she was interrupted.

"Can you speak properly? Your voice makes me sick, like someone with incomplete intellectual development."

As soon as Leonard finished speaking, Aurora couldn't help but laugh. Well said, she suggested saying more.

The other guests all looked at her, and she quickly covered her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter.

Bianca's face turned extremely ugly, wishing she could disappear. She didn't expect Leonard to be so blunt.

The live stream's comments also started rolling.

【Hahaha, Leonard is too cute】

【Incomplete intellectual development, hahaha, I've learned a new phrase】

【Leonard really doesn't give face to anyone. Bianca is about to cry】

【Leonard, Bianca is speaking properly. That's just her natural voice, you misunderstood】

【Indiscriminate attack, Bianca is really unlucky to encounter Leonard】
