How to become an ACE of a top boy group

The crowing of roosters at dawn dispelled the gloom in the sky. Luo Xi stepped out of the wooden house, took a deep breath of fresh air, and stretched his body in the yard.

Gu Minxing set the timer for breakfast on the rice cooker in the kitchen and then went out of the yard.

The two set off from the cabin together for a slow jog along the mountain path.

"The weather is so nice, the air is so fresh, even running feels wonderful."

"That's right. It's very refreshing. Hmm... living here would definitely make you very healthy and allow you to live for many years."

"Haha, Minxing, how many years do you want to live? What's your expected age? What about your previous life plan, bro? Come on, tell me about it."

"Can you be financially independent by 22? What was it again? Release a solo album before 25, hold your own concert at 30, and by 31..."

……

Wow, such self-discipline!

[It's their usual routine; they go to the practice room for early morning practice around this time.]

[Yesterday, Eun-hee even practiced dancing for a while before going to sleep.]

When they returned from their morning run, the trading room was just opening, and the two went in to take a look at what was for sale that day. The three items for sale today were a shovel priced at 1000 labor coins; 500g of fresh, whole-cut beef priced at 600 labor coins; and a large watermelon priced at 100 labor coins.

Luo Xi weighed their remaining 200-plus program currency: "We simply can't afford it."

Gu Minxing patted the watermelon: "You can afford this watermelon, do you want to buy it?"

"Of course, we should save the money first. Who knows when we might need something?" Luo Xi knew Gu Minxing was joking when he saw his smile, so he laughed along. "Or we can sneak it away. Nobody's watching anyway. Minxing, you block the camera."

[Huh, is it all self-service since no one's watching over it?]

The production team all stayed halfway up the mountain; only the idol's family was filming at their home.

If it were me, I would secretly take them all and pretend they were lost.

[No need to think about it anymore, the venue has tons of hidden cameras and surveillance cameras with no blind spots]

Liao Jun once put your idea into practice and caught you red-handed.

Oh, I remember now, their group was also fined, so they worked for free for three weeks.

[Everywhere except the toilet is a camera, hahaha]

……

"Get up!! Get up!" Luo Xi woke up Song Chuchu and Li Longxuan. They couldn't sleep for long because the staff had announced yesterday that they should meet halfway up the mountain before nine o'clock the next morning.

Last night, ILTetter's weekly schedule was posted on the bulletin board outside the courtyard: the task of plowing the paddy field must be completed this week, with a reward of 1000 labor coins, as well as watering vegetables and feeding chickens every day, a bamboo shoot digging task on Wednesday, and a bamboo fence repair task on Friday.

Gu Minxing brought out the porridge and boiled eggs, saying, "Eat more, or you'll be hungry later."

[Are you really going to farm?]

【Ah ah ah】

Even during the hottest part of the day?

Even I find it difficult, let alone idols.

"Would you like to read the task card? I just saw it on the bulletin board."

Song Chuchu and Li Longxuan both looked like they hadn't woken up yet, eating their breakfast listlessly and silently.

Luo Xi read aloud: "When the spring breeze blows, the seedlings are sown, and the new year's spring planting begins, so that there will be a new year's harvest. Members of IL, please sow the seeds of hope in the fields of 'Pastoral Home' with the help of the villagers! We will release limited-time spring planting tasks every week; completing them on time will reward you with—"

"Please stop reading it, I beg you," Lee Yong-hyun finally couldn't help but say.

The four of them dawdled over breakfast and slowly made their way to the paddy fields halfway up the mountain. Although they didn't really want to face it, the entire hillside, with its cascading lakes, was part of "Tian Yuan Jia's" farmland.

The intense labor meant that most of them would go back to eat and then immediately fall asleep. At first, Luo Xi wanted to suggest that everyone take turns resting for a day, but after arguing for a long time about who should rest first, they finally decided that everyone would work every day, in the early morning or late afternoon when it wasn't so sunny, and when they were too tired, they would all go back to rest together.

[Since everyone wants to slack off, no one can rest. How about we all work together? Hahaha]

You work a little bit every day, right?

Just tell me if you have a job or not.

……

Although they only did a little bit each day, Luo Xi and Gu Minxing still persisted. Everyone tried their best to complete the planned amount of labor for the day before going back to rest. When the first phase of the farmland task was settled on the seventh day, they barely passed and were settled together with the small tasks, receiving a reward of 1550 labor coins!

The next day, when they went to the trading house, they bought all the pork belly, chicken, and oranges that had been sold that day.

The amount of pork belly and chicken was enough for four people. Song Chuchu and Li Longxuan went to pick vegetables and collect eggs, while Luo Xi and Gu Minxing prepared and cooked the dishes in the kitchen.

Soon, fragrant dishes of stir-fried pork with scallions, stir-fried chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried eggs with chives, stir-fried romaine lettuce, and chicken and pea sprout soup were served one after another on the living room dining table. The four of them sat around the TV, cheering that they would have meat to eat today! For the past few days, they had been eating nothing but stir-fried eggs, stir-fried vegetables, and boiled vegetables. The day before yesterday, they went fishing but didn't catch a single fish. They hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

They look so happy eating! It makes me so hungry, I ordered takeout!

After working so much and going hungry for so many days, how could I not enjoy my food?

[They wrote to us saying they were starving.]

[You eat so well!]

She looks so good without makeup, there's practically no difference!

Luo Xi turned on the TV with the remote control, and Song Chuchu said, "It feels like it's been a long time since I've watched TV."

Gu Minxing nodded, "That's right, I rarely watch TV now."

Luo Xi asked, "What program should we watch? Ah, let's watch Lu Yun's program, on Haicheng TV, right... but it's not airing now."

"One episode aired last week, can we replay it?" Gu Minxing asked.

"No, this TV doesn't have that function." Luo Xi pressed the down button on the remote. "Let's just put on any channel. What should we put on?"

Lee Yong-hyun said, "Let's play music."

"OK." Luo Xi switched to the music channel.

[It looks like a family of four: parents and two kids]

[It's clearly a family of five, but the youngest son is studying in another city [doge emoji]]

[Supporting a family of five, mutual respect and affection are the best qualities of a leopard cat.]

Lee Yong-hyun doesn't eat green onions! (New TMI)

……

Song Chuchu happily ate a couple of bites of rice, then suddenly felt sad again, "But what am I going to do if I have to plow the fields again tomorrow? I really don't want to go to the fields..."

Luo Xi placed a piece of chicken leg meat into Song Chuchu's bowl: "Let's talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow. Aren't you happy to be eating something delicious right now?"

Gu Minxing said with concern, "Are you too tired? Why don't you skip tomorrow? I'll do your part."

"Hey, why should I?" Lee Yong-hyun put down his chopsticks. "If anyone's going to rest, it should be me first. There's an order of seniority!"

[I feel like I heard this phrase a few days ago.]

【Are we at it again?】

[Haha, another one coming!]

[XiXi's helpless expression, hahaha]

As they were arguing, someone knocked on the door.

Luo Xi ran to open the door, and a staff member wearing a suit and black sunglasses walked in, carrying in a roulette wheel.

"To reward you for your hard work this week, we've brought a special lucky wheel. Congratulations to everyone who has won a chance to win a prize!"

[A classic program from the Puppet Garden]

When I first opened the door, I thought they were selling insurance in the mountains.

The roulette wheel has ten panels: unlimited fried chicken and soda, one item off your wish list, five zones for 100 coins, one zone for 1000 coins, and two mysterious grand prizes marked with question marks.

"If your darts hit their mark, you'll immediately receive the corresponding item on the panel. Who wants to go first?"

"Then I'll go first." The staff member handed the dart to the nearest one, Rosie.

Song Chuchu clenched her fist and cheered: "There's fried chicken! Go for it! Eun-hee! Fried chicken!"

"Okay!!" Luo Xi aimed at the fried chicken.

The man in black spun the wheel hard, and the various sections inside blended together, creating a colorful disc.

"How are you supposed to aim like that? It's all just pure luck!"

Luo Xi could only throw the darts randomly.

It hit 100 labor coins.

"Ah..." Luo Xi regretfully punched Gu Minxing's shoulder next to her.

"Let me do it! Let me do it!" Song Chuchu stood up, eager to try.

"Go for it!" "Go Chuchu! Go fried chicken!"

In the early Song Dynasty, 100 labor coins were first issued.

Luo Xi and Song Chuchu sat down together, looking dejected.

"This is too difficult! This is simply impossible."

Lee Yong-hyun silently began throwing—hitting 500g of fried chicken and unlimited soft drinks right on target!

"Wow!!!" Luo Xi and Song Chuchu jumped up excitedly, surrounding Li Longxuan and shouting, "Fried chicken! Fried chicken!"

Wow wow wow

Wow, that's amazing!

[This luck is incredible!]

Lee Yong-hyun's lips curled up slightly: "Alright, don't get too excited, hurry up and bring the fried chicken and soda over!!"

[Haha, you say it's nothing, but you're probably ecstatic inside!]

Soon, two men in black brought over fried chicken and soda: "Eat slowly, there's more in the car. You can have unlimited refills every time you finish it within two hours."

Gu Minxing was the last one to be thrown.

"Relax, bro, just throw it anywhere."

"Let's just throw one at us and start eating."

Gu Minxing began throwing, and the dart hit the mysterious question mark.

Several people burst into screams.

【Ah ah ah】

Are the eldest and second eldest brothers the luckiest?

[The First One is the King of Games]

What is it?

The person who threw the question mark two weeks ago won a TV!

Please treat my ILiter better, okay?

Everyone was curious. Led by the man in black, Gu Minxing walked towards the roundabout and tore off the content pasted under the question mark:

Invitation Task:

Invite your favorite seniors over for dinner next week!

A reward of 2000 labor coins will be given upon successful completion of the task.

【Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha】

【This is such a rip-off】

[I was just saying I was the luckiest person, and then I got screwed over.]

[Hahaha, this is so entertaining!]

Why invite any senior figures? Did you choose them yourself?

The invitation was chosen by the production team. The team would reveal the seniors' favorite dishes in advance, and they had to cook them for the invitation to be considered successful.

[It's always been successful in the past, but it requires spending money to buy ingredients.]

[So difficult]

"Invitation, senior, to be my guest?" Song Chuchu repeated.

"To be honest, do we have anything to offer others to eat?" Lee Yong-hyun asked.

Comment area:

More and more people are watching, it's obvious to the naked eye.

This show has always had a lot of viewers.

Honestly, it feels so much better this way, at least everyone contributes. It's much more comfortable to watch than the last episode where it was always just the same two people doing the work.

Airi Toru doesn't allow anyone to slack off [doge emoji]

Airi Toru's team spirit has always been very strong.

I originally just wanted to watch some videos to watch while eating, but now I'm totally hooked.

Luo Enxi is so disciplined! She practices dancing almost every day. It's really amazing that she does it every single day.

Looking to buy Ronshii photocards and stickers, high price.
