Millions of viewers tuned in to the live stream, sparking an interest in essential oils and lip balm. People preferred using natural, uncontaminated, and additive-free products for a sense of safety. As Simone made the products, she took the time to explain their usage and benefits in detail. "Simone is amazing; she has extensive knowledge of camellia oil and can refine essences to make lip balm." "She knows so much. After hearing about the benefits, I really want to buy some essence for hair and skincare." "I'm with you on that. I'll support this village's live stream from now on." "After watching the variety show for a few days, I've noticed that the people in this village are genuine and down-to-earth. The quality of their agricultural products looks excellent." "The village head should organize live streams to sell their products. I want to buy everything." "That's right. Let's set up a live stream quickly. I want to buy everything that Zachy's group has eaten." "I've been watching them enjoy their food, and it made me crave the rice there. Luckily, my wifey satisfied my cravings." "Who's your wifey?" "Simone, of course. She's beautiful, cool, has a great body, cooks well, understands geomancy and physiognomy, and knows how to repair electrical appliances. She just knows so much. From now on, she's my wifey." "In that case, Simone will be my wifey too." "Hey, are you guys male or female?" "Female, of course, but that doesn't change the fact that Simone is my wifey." "Ahem, well, Simone is my wife too, and I'm a male fan." "My wifey is the best. While filming the show, she offers the village a path to prosperity." "That's right, my wifey is the best. She even promotes intangible cultural heritage and spreads positive vibes." "My love for you is growing, Wifey!"Other viewers were astonished by the unique fan culture surrounding Simone. Her fans had actually become her "husband." Moreover, the variety show had only aired for a few days, but her fan base had significantly grown. Jonah, seeing this, took the opportunity to share a video of Simone practicing martial arts online. It quickly gained a large number of views, and "Simone looks hot practicing martial arts" began to trend. Initially, many people thought Simone was riding the coattails of the show's popularity and creating unusual trends. They believed that her martial arts moves couldn't be that impressive and were just for show. However, when they watched the video, they were captivated by her skills. Even more so, when a martial arts association discovered the video, they circulated it internally. As a result, many people redirected to the variety show's livestream to watch Simone. "This young girl has a unique and masterful martial arts technique." "When will they livestream the young girl practicing martial arts? I want to watch it." Some viewers were puzzled, asking, "What martial arts?" "They posted a video of the young girl doing martial arts online. That's why we came to watch the livestream. Check it out yourselves." Simone's fans and curious viewers rushed to watch the video. When they returned to the livestream, they couldn't contain their excitement. "OMG, my wifey is not only beautiful but also hot!" "No wonder she was able to save people continuously that day. She's secretly this skilled." "How can the director do this to us? My wifey looks so hot practicing martial arts, but he didn't show it to us." "I know, right? I strongly demand a live stream of my wifey practicing martial arts tomorrow morning. I'll set an alarm to watch it." The live chat was filled with demands to watch Simone's martial arts live stream. Jonah was surprised that Simone's martial arts video could suddenly gain such popularity. Watching the viewer count steadily rise, he couldn't help but smile.Previously, the show had maintained high ratings thanks to the interactions between Simone, Zac, the Gray siblings, and Leon. Now, new interest had emerged, which was a welcome development. He asked the assistant to post an announcement: "Due to numerous requests from the viewers, the program will start early tomorrow to live stream Simone practicing martial arts in the morning." Simone's fans and martial arts enthusiasts eagerly hit the "like" button upon seeing the post. In the afternoon, Simone and the others left Jacob's house and visited an elderly man who crafted shadow puppets for shadow puppetry. They watched him create shadow puppets and even tried their hand at it. They had a lot of fun, and it was an enjoyable experience for everyone. Meanwhile, people found the other live stream somewhat boring. Leon, Leyla, and Jodie were busy helping pack vegetables. When the host tried to start a conversation and chat, the three of them were not very responsive, and they ended up killing the conversation right away. Though they were trying their best to pack vegetables, as time went on, it lost its appeal.They didn't engage much with the villagers, but Jodie actively conversed with Leon about acting. While seeking guidance, she also deliberately showcased her excellence. Leyla, on the other hand, found it challenging to join the conversation. In the end, this livestream became dominated by Jodie and Leon. Leon's fans were delighted to watch their "husband," but fans of Aaron and Leyla were less pleased. Many viewers found it rather unexciting and chose to switch to the other live stream. Over there, it was much more interesting with content like teaching how to make products, selling products, and learning shadow puppetry from skilled artisans. This shift led to the viewer count in Simone's group's livestream being several times higher than the other group. After all, it was Simone's idea to use the variety show's live stream to sell products and educate viewers on making essential oils and lip balm. In response, Jacob's family generously gifted Simone's group several bottles of purified camellia essential oil and some lip balm they had created based on her guidance. Additionally, they, along with other villagers, collectively sent mud crabs and crayfish to Simone's group. For dinner, Simone prepared two dishes using mud crabs and crayfish—one cooked with black pepper and the other with garlic butter. The aroma was so enticing that the other three didn't worry about their appearance and eagerly dug into the food. In the end, they finished four large plates of crayfish and mud crabs in total, with one of them even having a plate of pasta mixed with the leftover sauce. The viewers watching the livestream couldn't help but salivate at the sight. Not only were they enticed, but when the other group returned, Leon and Leyla couldn't help but salivate as they caught a whiff of the delectable aromas and witnessed how much Zac and the others were relishing the meal. Meanwhile, Aaron, who was lying in his room, felt increasingly tormented. Ever since Simone started cooking, the kitchen had been filled with the tantalizing aroma of food. Having only eaten plain congee twice that day, he now felt ravenously hungry. Unfortunately, his little sister completely disregarded him and didn't invite him to sample the food.While everyone present was salivating, there was one exception—Jodie. When she caught a whiff of the aroma, she felt uneasy all over. This was exacerbated by the fact that she had gone through the trouble of arranging for a villager to cook congee, delivering it herself to her brother, only to discover that the production team had already prepared congee and her brother had already eaten it. This left her feeling somewhat embarrassed. What frustrated her the most was that after a long day of packing vegetables, she returned to not only endure the tempting aroma but also had to prepare dinner herself. This was completely different from what she had envisioned for the variety show. This time, she didn't bother troubling herself by asking Leon and Leyla what they would like to eat. She feared that Leyla would once again request dishes similar to what Simone had prepared. Jodie was unfamiliar with cooking crayfish. She typically considered them unclean and unappetizing, so she had never tasted them before. However, she knew that the others in her group desired the same dishes Simone had made, which would only emphasize how delicious Simone's cooking was. Therefore, Jodie prepared three home-cooked dishes she had learned earlier and made a simple soup. Under normal circumstances, the meal looked quite appealing. However, when compared to the crayfish and mud crabs that Simone had expertly prepared with exquisite presentation, aroma, and flavor, her dishes seemed rather plain. When the dishes were ready, Aaron also emerged from his room to join the dinner. While Simone's group savored their meal and expressed their satisfaction, the other group quietly consumed their food, creating a rather subdued atmosphere. This created a stark contrast for the viewers. Jodie felt particularly disheartened, as her original intention was to create a contrasting image between herself and Simone in this variety show. However, this was not the type of contrast she had envisioned.
