In just half a day, they packed their luggage, tidied the yard, and even took a stroll around the fields they had planted with their own hands.

Looking at the green rice seedlings growing spiritedly in the paddy fields, I have to complain about my past self from time to time.

"These seedlings are so clean and beautiful. I remember the first time I harvested wheat at the beginning of the month. I was almost crippled. My waist and hands didn't feel like my own anymore." Li Teng stood with his hands on his hips and looked at the rice field with a look of deep nostalgia in his eyes.

"Don't mention it, Brother Teng. It's because you have good physical strength. If I hadn't considered that it might cause trouble to you, I would have called 120 directly, if there was any." Xi Jiazheng was holding up his mobile phone, recording videos and taking pictures.

"Don't worry, the one with the best physical strength has to be Zhao Mei. She seems to be fine. She is indeed a skilled worker. The harvesting later was also thanks to her. It was orderly, reliable and efficient."

Zhao Mei suddenly heard her own name, turned her head to look at the two people who were still whispering to each other, but did not stop them, but continued to take commemorative photos with Qiao Qiudie.

At this time, Qiao Qiudie was pulling Tao Pingfan to pose in various ways in the rice field. Zhao Mei helplessly raised her mobile phone as a ready-made tool.

He Xingwen stood on the far right, quietly looking at the green color of life in late autumn.

An unknown amount of time passed, and as the time for separation drew closer, Zhao Mei looked at her phone and suggested, "Shall we take a group photo here as a souvenir?"

It was not surprising that all five people voted in favor, but this kind of footage was not taken seriously enough when shot with a mobile phone, so Li Teng took the initiative to find the program crew hiding nearby and borrowed their camera to help shoot.

The six people stood in front of the rice field and struck their poses as the three-second countdown approached.

With a click, the faces of six people with relaxed smiles were frozen in the photo, as if the moment was also contained in it.

After taking the group photo, the time was up and they got on the program crew's car and headed to the town.

Due to the popularity of Hope Village, the specialties of the entire Yuncheng are selling very well, so the program crew has a very high reputation among the public.

When the production crew's car arrived in the town, everyone who recognized the production crew along the way greeted them. There were so many people that they simply rolled down the car window and waved to everyone.

Finally we arrived at the conference hall. As a town conference hall, it is not very big, but it has almost everything it needs.

At the front of the hall is a small stage with a red background against the wall, and at the top is a banner decorated with flowers welcoming the Hope Village program team.

The ceremony was quite formal, which reminded Zhao Mei of the donation ceremony held by the school before. It seemed that they had the same origin.

The overall process is that the local leader first gives a brief speech and expresses his gratitude, then they go up one by one to present a bouquet of flowers, and finally the leader wears the medal.

The whole process takes no more than an hour, and the main promotion will still be on the Internet.

Zhao Mei stood on the stage, with local cameras and the program crew's cameras below, feeling dazed.

Suddenly, an energetic old man stood in front of Zhao Mei. He greeted Zhao Mei with a kind face, shook hands with her, and put a small golden lily medal on her chest.

Almost at the same time, the long-lost system broadcast echoed in my mind.

[Ding—Congratulations to the host for completing the third stage of the first long-term mission. The mission reward is temporarily hidden and will be revealed when the second long-term mission is completed.]

Fortunately, the hard work in the etiquette class was not in vain. Zhao Mei's expression did not show any abnormality at this time, but in fact, her heart had already been in turmoil.

Whether it was the sudden emergence of the system, the correlation between the two long-term tasks, or the strange hidden rewards, Zhao Mei was puzzled. However, she was in a special environment at the moment, so she could only temporarily ignore the abnormality and continue her progress.

After wearing the badge, the entire awarding process is completely completed.

Although the process this time was extremely simplified, both the award presenters and the host showed that the local people attached great importance to this award ceremony.

After the award ceremony, the locals extended a cordial invitation to a dinner, but the six people declined all of them. Instead, they formed groups of two and boarded the cars prepared by the town to head to the city to leave Yuncheng.

As soon as Zhao Mei got in the car and left the town, she realized what tricks Yu Chen had used to achieve the show's effect.

Qiao Qiudie was also furious: "Old Yu is really something. There is such a good road to walk on, but he insisted on taking us on a mountain road. He really does anything for the show effect."

Zhao Mei nodded in agreement. "Indeed, he'd do anything to improve the show. Remember that mid-month period when he insisted on playing some games, which only exacerbated the already slow harvesting progress?"

The two of them kept complaining all the way until the car slowly stopped and they realized that they had arrived.

When they got off the train, they saw that it was indeed the familiar Jinhua Railway Station, but this time, they were taking the high-speed train.

Once I got on the high-speed rail, my travel experience took a qualitative leap. In less than half an hour, I arrived at the airport in Yuncheng provincial capital and successfully boarded the plane before dark.

At this time, Qiao Qiudie's eyelids were already drooping from the torture of traveling for half a day, but she still did not forget to complain to Zhao Mei before going to bed.

"I finally understand why Yuncheng's specialties can't be sold. We haven't suffered much on this journey, but we're already exhausted. If we drive the goods ourselves, it would be a complete disaster."

After she finished speaking, Qiao Qiudie finally sat down peacefully. She didn't expect Zhao Mei to reply to her, but she almost immediately tilted her head and fell asleep, even snoring a little.

Zhao Mei looked at her and smiled helplessly, then leaned back in the plane chair and wrapped herself in a blanket.

Although Zhao Mei felt a little tired and wanted to take a nap, she did not forget the system voice that suddenly appeared this afternoon. After closing her eyes and pretending to rest, she immediately called out the system in her mind.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, what happened in the afternoon? I wasn't surprised that it was completed suddenly, but why are the long-term one and two related? What about the hidden rewards?" Zhao Mei directly threw all her questions to the system.

[Congratulations to the host for completing Phase 3. This is a remarkable achievement. Since the system was officially released, fewer than one million people have completed it.]

As for Long-Term Missions 1 and 2, they complement each other. While they can be completed separately at first, they must be completed simultaneously later on. There are only four stages in total. You only need to complete Stage 3 of Long-Term Mission 2 to unlock the final mission and receive the rewards.

The reason why the rewards for Stage 3 are hidden is because the final mission is, in a sense, the final reward.

The system's explanation not only failed to clear Zhao Mei's doubts, but deepened them. However, no matter how many times she asked about the final reward, the system always avoided the question.

After trying many times, Zhao Mei gave up on the futile effort. After all, instead of torturing an AI that was doomed to be fruitless, it would be better to think carefully about how to complete the third stage of the long-term plan.
