The Journey to Godhood in Another World

Chapter 221 Guest Dinner

As the sun gradually slanted westward, its soft light draped the tranquil village in a warm veil. Not long after Luo Li and Wanwan finished packing their luggage, the village's old-fashioned loudspeaker broadcast the order to assemble, its voice carrying a rustic, rough quality that echoed throughout the village.

"Let's go see who the other guests are," Luo Li said, picking up a hat from the side and putting it on. Wanwan smiled and nodded, and the two walked side by side toward the meeting point. Along the way, a gentle breeze blew, and unnamed wildflowers swayed softly by the roadside, releasing their fragrance.

When they arrived at the meeting point, the other three groups of guests were already there. The first group was the famous actress Cheng Shuang, who was dressed in a simple yet elegant casual outfit, with her long, black, shiny hair casually draped over her shoulders, exuding a gentle and graceful temperament in every gesture.

Beside her, her five-year-old daughter, Little Apple, was like an adorable little elf, with two cute little braids, her big eyes blinking as she curiously looked around at everything.

The second group consisted of rock singer Cui Yongyuan, whose signature long hair was slightly disheveled, and whose studded leather jacket exuded a rebellious vibe. His six-year-old son, Cui Le, dressed in a cool little denim outfit, was jumping around excitedly with an innocent smile on his face, seemingly full of anticipation for this special trip.

The third group is Duan Xu, a rising star with a fair complexion and a slight smile. He is dressed in stylish sportswear and exudes youthful energy.

Standing next to him was his temporary younger sister, Xu Ran, an eight-year-old girl who has recently become quite famous online as a child model, exuding confidence beyond her years.

Her delicate features are like those of a porcelain doll, her shoulder-length short hair looks neat and tidy, and her bright, intelligent eyes sparkle with intelligence. Xu Ran was chosen precisely because of her immense popularity, which adds a lot of appeal to the show.

After the four groups of guests met, they greeted each other warmly. Actress Cheng Shuang was the first to speak with a smile: "I'm very happy to participate in this program. I hope we can all have an unforgettable time." Cui Yongyuan also laughed heartily: "Haha, I've been looking forward to experiencing rural life with everyone for a long time!"

Duan Xu bowed slightly politely and said, "I'm new here, please take good care of me." The children were not to be outdone. Little Apple said in her childish voice, "The older sisters are so pretty!" Cui Le ran to the other children and excitedly shared the interesting things she had seen on the way.

After some pleasantries, the host stepped forward. He cleared his throat and announced with a smile, "Distinguished guests, welcome to our show 'Go, Baby!' Tonight's dinner is provided by the production team, but starting tomorrow, you'll need to complete certain tasks to earn the corresponding food. As for what delicious dinner we'll have tonight, we'll have to see what dishes the children win in the ring toss game later."

Hearing this, the children perked up immediately, their eyes sparkling with anticipation. The staff quickly set out various dishes on the open space: tender vegetables, succulent fish, fresh fruit, and fragrant pastries.

Several colorful plastic rings were placed in front of the dishes. Little Apple was the first to rush forward, gripping the plastic rings tightly with both hands, her little face slightly flushed with nervousness and excitement.

She carefully aimed at the basket of strawberries in front of her, and gently tossed it. The plastic ring drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed steadily on the strawberry basket.

"Wow, I got it!" Little Apple jumped up excitedly, waving her hands and beaming with a proud smile.

Not to be outdone, Cui Le picked up a plastic ring, mimicking an adult by squinting one eye and aiming intently. With a "whoosh," the plastic ring flew out and landed squarely on a large piece of fish.

"Yay, we can have a big fish tonight!" Cui Le shouted excitedly, not forgetting to show off his "spoils" to the other children.

Xu Ran, on the other hand, appeared much calmer. She elegantly picked up the plastic ring, tossed it gently, and the ring landed perfectly on a box of delicate pastries. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a confident smile, looking every bit like a professional little model.

While the children were having a great time, the adults cheered them on. Actress Cheng Shuang gently encouraged Xiao Pingguo, while Cui Yongyuan taught Cui Le the "secrets of ring toss," and Duan Xu looked at Xu Ran with a smile, his eyes full of affection.

Luo Li and Wanwan were also infected by the children's joy, clapping for them and discussing how sumptuous tonight's dinner would be. Wanwan won her favorite potatoes and beef brisket, sharing her happiness with Luo Li.

As the children won more and more food items, the ground was covered with a dazzling array of dishes. The staff collected them one by one and sent them to the kitchen for careful preparation. Meanwhile, the setting sun bathed the entire village in an orange-red glow, and wisps of smoke rose slowly from the chimneys of the farmhouses, creating a scene filled with warmth and tranquility.

Before long, a sumptuous dinner was served. The table was laden with delicious food, including a sweet and sour strawberry salad, pan-fried tender fish, refreshing stir-fried vegetables with meat, tempting braised beef brisket with potatoes, and delicate pastries from Xu Ran's set as dessert.

Everyone sat together, enjoying the food and sharing their stories and feelings. The children's joyful laughter echoed in the night sky, and the adults were often amused and laughed heartily. The families, who were originally strangers, seemed to become close friends at this moment.

On this peaceful rural night, delicious food and laughter intertwined, setting the stage for this special rural experience and filling everyone with anticipation and excitement for the days to come.
