Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

Following Lin Xiuzhi's explanation, Shen Zhaoning anxiously approached the young male lead and reached out to touch his forehead.

"Big brother, do you have a fever?"

The other person dodged Shen Zhaoning's hand, their eyes cold.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."

Shen Zhaoning: "?"

Shen Zhaoning was unaware that the other person was an actor who didn't memorize lines and only read numbers.

They just looked at each other with pity.

Oh no, my older brother is delirious from the fever.

Shen Zhaoning's initial sympathy was somewhat of an act, but now it has turned into genuine emotion.

"Big brother, wait here, I'll go find you some medicine."

Shen Zhaoning rushed to the outside of the thatched hut.

The director yelled "Cut!" with satisfaction.

The staff member handed Shen Zhaoning a bunch of chopped chives.

After the director yelled "Action!", Shen Zhaoning handed the chives to the young male lead.

Luo Tianming, who plays the young male lead, looks at the chives in front of him with disgust.

This thing is disgusting and smells awful.

"One, two, three; one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."

Shen Zhaoning was still thinking about finishing work as soon as possible so she could buy some food.

Seeing that Luo Tianming was reluctant to eat as required by the script, they simply stuffed the food into his mouth.

Luo Tianming had never eaten chives before.

The first bite was a spicy and stimulating taste that went straight to the top of my head.

He instinctively opened his mouth to spit it out, but unexpectedly, Shen Zhaoning stuffed it even deeper.

The more Luo Tianming felt like vomiting, the deeper Shen Zhaoning stuffed the vomit into his throat.

He wanted to get angry, but the thought that if he didn't swallow the chives, he would have to do it all over again, so he had no choice but to swallow them down painfully.

Suddenly, several men in black came over with knives.

Shen Zhaoning immediately picked up the straw piled up next to her and covered Luo Tianming with it.

"Big brother, you stay here and don't make a sound. I'll go and lure them away."

Worried that her actions had been too rough and might have choked the person, Shen Zhaoning couldn't help but turn around for another look.

The director nodded in satisfaction, noticing the worry in Shen Zhaoning's eyes.

This young girl has really good acting skills.

The camera then pans to Luo Tianming, who plays the young male lead, and the director's face shows a hint of disdain.

He wouldn't have used such an unprofessional actor if the other party didn't have powerful connections.

The director yelled "Cut!" with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad, one take."

"The little guy is very talented. Let me leave you my contact information. I'll contact you again if I need a similar role next time."

Contact the sorcerer?

Shen Zhaoning blinked, looking somewhat disappointed.

"The alchemists are very expensive. Our family is very, very poor right now and we don't have the money to contact them."

The director didn't quite understand what the little girl meant.

I only caught one sentence: their family is very, very poor now.

The director recalled that when he first met the little girl, she was wearing tattered and dirty linen clothes, and he thought they were costumes.

It wasn't until he discovered the little girl wasn't the investor's daughter that he realized it wasn't a costume, but rather a sign of genuine poverty.

The director looked regretful.

"Alright."

"It seems there's no chance of us working together."

Hearing their conversation, Lin Xiuzhi felt a pang of heartache for the little dumpling in front of her.

The little guy is dressed so poorly and is so thin. If he had more income, he could probably live a little better.

"She doesn't have a phone. Can't you call her for me? I'll contact her for you."

The director said with a chuckle.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Teacher Lin."

The moment the director yelled "cut," Luo Tianming pushed aside the haystack, hugged the pillar, and vomited.

After vomiting, he stormed up to Shen Zhaoning.

Why did you put something in my mouth?

Shen Zhaoning blinked.

"According to the instructions, you should eat those."

Luo Tianming was unhappy.

"That stuff tastes awful, why aren't you eating it?"

Shen Zhaoning answered honestly.

"Because the director didn't give me money to eat grass. If he had given me money, I could have eaten it."

Luo Tianming was speechless. How could there be such a money-loving person in the world who would even eat such disgusting food for money!

"You mean you can eat it if I give you money?"

"Okay, I'll give you the money. Eat one and show me."

Shen Zhaoning's eyes lit up.

"Really? Is there really such a good thing?"

On the road to exile, she ate coarse cakes and thin porridge all day long. She couldn't chew them and was always hungry. She often took advantage of her rest time to dig up wild vegetables to fill her stomach.

We usually have to dig for wild vegetables ourselves.

Now someone is paying her to eat!

Where else can you find such a great deal!

Luo Tianming scanned the area and spotted a basin filled with chopped chives.

He immediately threw the basin in front of Shen Zhaoning.

"If you eat a handful, I'll give you a hundred yuan."

"If you can eat all of these, I'll give you five thousand."

Shen Zhaoning did the math in her head: 1,000 yuan could buy 400 jin of rice.

That five thousand can be exchanged for...

Shen Zhaoning fiddled with her fingers for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so she looked at Lin Xiuzhi with pleading eyes.

Lin Xiuzhi explained.

"Five thousand yuan can buy two thousand jin of rice."

Two thousand catties of rice!

What kind of chives are these in front of me?

It's clearly gold.

Shen Zhaoning immediately picked up the basin and held it tightly in her arms.

Just before eating, she asked worriedly.

"Are you sure you'll pay me after I eat it?"

Luo Tianming crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

"Of course! My dad's a big boss, my mom's a big star, we're loaded! Five thousand dollars is just pocket money for me!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaoning felt much more at ease.

In front of Luo Tianming, she grabbed a handful of chives and started eating them.

Although it tastes a bit spicy, it's much better than bland wild vegetables.

Most importantly, she pays for every single bite she eats!

The bowl of chives looks like a lot, but there isn't actually that much; it's just that they're chopped up and look fluffy.

After a few bites, Shen Zhaoning had reduced the amount of chives in the bowl by more than half.

Luo Tianming's pupils dilated in shock as he watched her eat with relish.

Would anyone really eat such a weird thing just for money?

He looked around at the people in disbelief.

"Did you see that? This poor wretch is actually eating this kind of stuff just for money."

He thought the people around him would stand with him and mock Shen Zhaoning.

Unexpectedly, I saw envious looks from everyone.

Chen Fang leaned closer to him and lowered her voice.

"Actually, I can eat chives too, could you give me a chance?"

People around gathered around.

"Me too."

"I can do it too!"

Luo Tianming was dumbfounded.

I never imagined there were so many people in this world who would give up their dignity for money!

Seeing how fierce the competition was for this job of eating chives, Shen Zhaoning hurriedly stuffed the remaining chives into her mouth and lifted the empty bowl.

"I'm finished eating!"

She walked up to Luo Tianming, stretched out her chubby little hand, and looked at him expectantly.

"Give me the money."

Luo Tianming reluctantly took out his phone.

"It's just money, here you go!"

Shen Zhaoning did not understand what he meant.

Chen Xiuzhi stepped forward to help.

"She doesn't have a phone, scan it for me, I'll get it for her in a bit."
