I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

"Okay, Chao Ge has successfully registered." Wang Zheng raised the megaphone.

"Now let me explain the three tasks in detail. The 'nutrition expert' is responsible for preparing and feeding the camels."

"Because camel milk is known as 'desert white gold,' the 'white gold' comes from milking camels."

"What about 'desert treasure hunting'?" Brother Deng asked.

"It's collecting manure, isn't it?" Cheng Che said quietly.

"That's right!" Wang Zheng nodded affirmatively. "Brother Chao will be helping the camels clean up their droppings in the next task!"

"What are you doing?" Deng Chao was completely dumbfounded.

"Keep it up, Brother Deng! I'm sure the camels will never forget your contributions!" Chen He burst into sharp laughter.

The others joined in the mockery without any attempt to hide their laughter.

"I choose 'White Gold'," Chen He shouted immediately after laughing.

If we don't choose quickly, we'll be picking manure with Old Deng soon. We need to have a sense of urgency.

"Me too, me too!" Xia Ziyi quickly followed.

"Then let's choose 'Nutrition Expert'." Tian Xiwei raised her hand, without asking Cheng Che's opinion, and directly included him.

Of course, Cheng Che didn't have any objections.

"Huh?" The silly roe deer belatedly exclaimed.

"Hahahaha." Deng Chao laughed heartily, pulling Lu Heng close. "Son, in the end, I can only rely on you!"

Lu Heng gave a dry laugh.

Dad, if I had a choice, I really wouldn't want to go with you to collect manure.

……

Led by staff, the six people traveled by car to a village near the foot of Mingsha Mountain.

The drive wasn't long; once we left the city, the scenery outside the window quickly changed from the earthy yellow ancient city to the vast Gobi Desert.

In the distance, the ridgeline of the Singing Sand Dunes gleamed golden in the sunlight, while nearby, rows of low-lying farmhouses began to appear.

A faint scent of hay wafted through the air, mixed with some indescribable animal aroma.

"Teachers, we've arrived." Wang Zheng raised the megaphone.

The six people got off the bus one by one.

Before me was a large farmhouse courtyard, with its gate wide open and the interior space quite spacious.

The house is surrounded on three sides by adobe houses, with a rammed sandy area in the middle and a spacious pergola in one corner.

There were about twenty camels leisurely enjoying the cool shade under the pergola.

"Wow, so many camels!" Sister Xia was the first to exclaim.

At this moment, an old man in his fifties, with dark skin, walked out from under the awning.

"Hello, teachers. I am Lao Ma, and I am also the owner of this courtyard." Lao Ma's voice was loud and clear.

"The production team has already explained your tasks to me. I will now take you to the task locations one by one."

And so, the six people split into three groups and went in three different directions in the yard.

……

Deng Chao and Lu Heng, each carrying a long-handled iron clamp, went to the enclosure.

The ground of the enclosure was covered with some kind of dark brown solid.

Deng Chao's nose twitched incessantly. He was surprised to find that the smell in the enclosure was not as strong as he had imagined!

He used long-handled tongs to pick up a round, smooth lump of camel antler velvet, and under Lu Heng's disdainful gaze, he brought it directly to his nose and smelled it.

"Wow!" He looked at the camera with surprise. "Viewers, this camel's odor doesn't smell at all, it's almost odorless."

"Little deer, come and smell me."

"I don't want to! I don't want to!" Lu Heng refused decisively.

"Come on, give it a try!" Deng Chao's face showed a perverted smile as he insisted on lifting Camel Xiangzi up in front of Lu Heng.

Lu Heng looked terrified and, like a fencing enthusiast, used his long-handled clamp to block Deng Chao's long-handled clamp, producing a crisp metallic clang.

As we all know, force can be transmitted.

Suddenly, the perfectly round camel antler shattered into pieces due to the unexpected interference of an external force.

In an instant, a localized rain of excrement fell on Brother Deng.

Countless tiny clumps of excrement fell like snowflakes, showering him all over.

"..." Deng Chao's smile gradually froze.

But the smile doesn't disappear; it just moves on.

"Hahahahaha—" Lu Heng immediately burst into laughter.

[Hahaha, he got his comeuppance for doing bad things!]

[This demon's brain is a bit different from normal people's. Who would pick up Shi and smell it for no reason, and even share it with others after smelling it!]

Zhang Qiansen, you've been excreting in Dunhuang ( ).

……

Chen He and Xia Ziyi went to the milking area.

The three female camels were leisurely lying on the hay, engaging in a process called "rumination".

An old woman demonstrated the technique to the two of them, and then Chen He and Xia Ziyi each went to a camel.

Despite being a "clumsy beauty," Xia Ziyi picked things up surprisingly quickly.

Following the instructions her grandmother had given her, she managed to squeeze out a portion of camel milk with remarkable ease and accurately drop it into the small metal container.

The camel didn't react at all throughout, clearly satisfied with her technique.

"Me? I'm a milking genius?" Xia Ziyi looked at her hands and murmured in disbelief.

Fans, did you see that?

Sister Xia isn't stupid, Sister Xia is a milking genius!!

"That's awesome!" Chen He cheered from the sidelines. "I'll give it a try too!"

After he finished speaking, he imitated the old woman's actions and began to milk the cows.

But something went wrong at some point, and after struggling for most of the day and trying several times, he couldn't squeeze out a single drop of milk.

"No, is this right?" Chen Datian frowned as he looked at the camera. "Is there something wrong with my technique?"

"But I feel like my technique is fine. Do you think it's because this camel doesn't produce milk?" He raised his left eyebrow, feeling that he had found the right answer.

Just then, the camel he was in charge of slowly turned its head and calmly glanced at him.

then……

"puff--"

A sticky blob of something mixed with grass scraps and an unidentified liquid was precisely smeared all over Chen He's face.

"...?"

Chen He froze on the spot.

Xia Ziyi tried to hold it in for a long time, but unfortunately, since it wasn't a bandage, she ultimately couldn't hold it in.

She squatted on the ground, clutching her stomach, and laughed so hard she could barely breathe.

[Hahaha, I got caught talking badly about someone behind their back!]

[Camel: I hate people who talk badly about camels behind their backs.]

[Fun fact: Brother He was sprayed with ruminated food in his face. Rumination is the process of vomiting up undigested food to chew it again for easier digestion.]

I get what you mean; roughly speaking, it's like getting sprayed with shit in your face.
