The Miraculous Simone Gray novel Chapter 7

As Zac stepped out of the car, the live chat was flooded with comments. One viewer wrote, 'I can't believe they managed to get Zeus on the show! This production team is impressive.'

'No wonder he's one of the surprise guests. He's definitely the showstopper.'

'Of course, he's the showstopper! Both Mr. Foster and Zeus have millions of fans, you know.'

'Thumbs up to the production team for getting our dear Zachy on the show! He's not a fan of self-promotion, actually.'

Another viewer commented, 'Ahem! Considering Zachy's fussy and spoiled personality, I seriously doubt he can adapt to this place and this show.'

'That seems impossible. What should I do? I suddenly feel like seeing him do something embarrassing.'

'Haha! Same here.'

'It seems challenging to make Zeus fend for himself in a place like this.'

'I wonder if there'll be team challenges or something similar after this. If there are, I can't help but feel sorry for Zachy's teammates.'

'If that happens, I'd sympathize with his teammates, too.'

The fans of the other guests, as well as casual viewers of the live stream, were slightly taken aback by the comments left by Zac's fans. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel that his fan community was eccentric...

Everyone greeted Zac as he walked towards them.

Even though Aaron didn't get along with Zac, he wouldn't publicly show hostility towards anyone on the air. Therefore, he said hello to the man.

With all the guests present, Jonah Chapman, the show's director, looked at everyone and began speaking, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the live reality show, Starting from Scratch. Now, let me tell you all about what's planned next. You'll be staying here for three weeks, during which time your daily lives will be live-streamed for the audience. We'll provide you with tools, kitchenware, and a roof over your heads, but everything else is your responsibility."

Aaron had never participated in a reality show like this before and couldn't help but ask, "How are we responsible for that? Can we use our own money?"

Jonah gave him a look as if to say, 'How can you be so naive?' He replied, "You can't use your own money, of course. Your phones will also be confiscated for the time being, though we'll provide each of you with a new one." Then, he continued with a shrug. "As for how you're going to live in the next few weeks, I don't know. It's up to you."

Curious, Eric asked, "What tools will you guys provide, then?" He had participated in a survival-themed reality show before, where participants were only allowed to bring three items with them while everything else was not provided.

Jonah replied, "We'll provide you with as many tools as possible as long as you need them." This show was not about pranks, making it different from other variety shows. He added, "For instance, if you need to catch fish, we can provide you with fishing nets or fishing rods. If you want to chop firewood, we can provide axes and similar tools. Starting from Scratch is mostly about showing how you live when you have no money."

Aaron was left speechless. "How are we going to live if we have no money? What can we use to buy food and drinks?" After a moment of thought, he asked, "Will you assign tasks that we can complete to earn rewards?" Before coming here, he had watched two similar reality shows where guests had to either complete tasks assigned by the production team to earn rewards or do labor in exchange for cash.

Jonah replied with a smile, "No, we won't assign any tasks to you guys during these three weeks, much less interfere with what you do. You can live however you like." He then suggested, "As for food and drink, you can find something to trade with the villagers for food. Alternatively, you can ask them if they need any help and exchange your labor for something to eat."

In other similar reality shows, the production teams would usually assign tasks for the guests to complete. However, this show's production team wanted something new, so they were letting the guests have free rein to do whatever they wanted in the first episode. After all, this was a live show, and there might be more excitement this way. If the response wasn't great, they would assign tasks in the next episode.

In an instant, the guests understood what he meant.

Zac unlocked his phone and inspected it, complaining, "This phone can't be used for anything else other than making phone calls, sending messages, and navigation!" We're going to be bored to death in the next few weeks!
