I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.

Going down the mountain made the journey much faster.

The ten people were divided into two groups and rode in two sightseeing buses, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Lianshan along the way.

The car took everyone directly to the villa entrance. After getting out of the car, everyone checked the time with the driver. It was a little past noon, which was lunchtime.

So, the ten of them, in a grand procession, went directly to the restaurant across the street from the villa.

After lunch, everyone sat in the store enjoying the air conditioning. In the sweltering summer heat, the amount of exercise they had done this morning was more than enough for everyone.

If they weren't filming a TV show, they would rather find a place to sleep.

"What are you going to do?" Suhe asked Li Tian.

Upon hearing this, Li Tian looked at Su Xiao beside Chen Nian and said, "We just discussed it and decided to go to the bookstore and then go to the amusement park this afternoon."

"Amusement park?"

"Oh, it's on the other side of the forest, I saw it on the map, but unfortunately, that one isn't open to the public for free."

Although everyone really wanted to go to the amusement park together, it's obviously not possible right now.

The group sat for a while until the butler appeared, then they got up and went back to the villa.

At this moment, only the eight of them were in the villa's living room; Li Tian and Su Xiao had already left.

The butler looked around and slowly said, "To reciprocate the resort's sponsorship, we have an agreement with the resort's shops where guests will make a DIY handmade item for them to collect and display."

"Currently, there are about eighteen shops, two for each person, and the two extra shops are for the villas in the resort and the art gallery. These two shops were completed together by everyone."

"I've selected these two shops and will now introduce the remaining sixteen to everyone. You can choose suitable handmade items based on the shop's characteristics and give them to the merchants." As he spoke, the butler placed all the brochures in his hand on the table.

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered together and picked up the manual on the table to read it.

The group here is the same as the one we went hiking with today. Chen Nian wasn't idle either; he's quite interested in this kind of handicraft, even though he's never done it before.

Since it's a rare opportunity to participate, I naturally won't resist.

The sixteen shops are almost all different kinds of businesses, including bookstores, restaurants, large coffee shops in the resort, and even the terrifying escape room.

"Um..."

"Shall we have this escape room?" Liu Ting immediately saw the potential in the escape room's features. "We can make some strange and unusual dolls."

"Then this one is yours. I'll take this bookstore." Chen Nian picked up the bookstore's shop brochure.

"I want a bookstore too," Tang Xi said, somewhat disappointed.

"I'd like to try an escape room," Xia Yao blinked, looking at Liu Ting. "How about we switch? What I have here is a shop from an amusement park."

"An amusement park!" After some deliberation, Liu Ting finally decided on an escape room.

Seeing Tang Xi looking at him expectantly, Chen Nian asked, "What are yours?"

"I work at the coffee shop, and Wen Jingran got the food from the private kitchen you ate at last time," Tang Xi said.

"Then give it to me at the coffee shop." Chen Nian thought for a moment, both should be very simple and not difficult.

"Hehe, thanks!" Tang Xi smiled slightly upon hearing this and switched places with him.

Everyone else also received their own shop manuals, and for them, it wasn't difficult to quickly come up with suitable DIY ideas.

"Alright, please proceed to the resort's DIY craft workshop," the butler said.

So everyone got to work, leaving the villa and, led by the staff, arriving at a nearby DIY workshop, where all the tools were already prepared.

Chen Nian looked at the room in front of him with amazement. He had long been curious about what such a place was like, and seeing it with his own eyes now, he couldn't help but be surprised.

There is clay, LEGO modules, and some specimens that you can cut yourself.

Almost everything needed for DIY has been prepared.

Everyone found a seat and then immediately went to get all the necessary tools.

Chen Nian looked at the coffee shop manual in his hand, pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out what to DIY. So he got up and wandered around, picking up a little bit of everything.

By the time he returned to his seat with a whole bunch of tools, everyone else had already started brainstorming.

Seeing how serious everyone was, Chen Nian also sat down and began to think seriously.

"No, you didn't think of that?" Liu Ting was about to start when she saw Chen Nian still thinking, and then suggested, "Aren't those handmade cup sets in coffee shops just what you'd expect?"

"Oh!" Chen Nian's eyes lit up. Her reminder made sense. "I understand now, thanks!"

"It's just so monotonous!" Liu Ting shrugged. "I wouldn't make something so monotonous."

Chen Nian thought to himself, "Monotonous is not good, and I don't want to do anything troublesome."

Having made up his mind, Chen Nian quickly began to take action.

I glanced at the materials on the table and gave up on assembling the Lego models, mainly because I didn't know how!

He reached out and grabbed a few boxes of super light clay, choosing light brown, milky white, and dark brown, which perfectly matched the coffee theme.

After unpacking the clay, Chen Nian pinched the soft, light brown clay with his fingertips and was surprised to find that it was quite interesting.

After thinking for a moment, he casually kneaded a small ball and then pressed it into the bottom of the cup.

As for the cup body, it took a while to make. In the end, it took two bags of clay to roll it out. After I finished, I glanced at the time on the wall and thought it was done quite neatly.

"Just make a coffee cup, that should be enough," Chen Nian muttered to himself, not looking up the whole time, focused solely on completing the task.

Not long after, Su Xiao passed by him from behind and couldn't help but glance at him, full of curiosity.

Liu Ting, who was standing next to him, glanced at the rough cup in his hand and couldn't help but complain, "You're being too perfunctory! This coffee cup is crooked and twisted; even the shopkeeper would laugh at it."

"Really? It's actually quite cute!" Chen Nian admired his work.

As he spoke, he grabbed a piece of dark brown clay, rolled it into a small ball, and placed it next to the coffee cup, pretending it was a coffee bean.

After completing this step, he hesitated for a long time.

"How did you make the kitten?" Chen Nian asked Liu Ting, who was standing next to him.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ting gave him a brief explanation, but ultimately couldn't bear to watch any longer and made one for him.

A tiny kitten, no bigger than a palm, with a round body, drooping ears, and paws resting on the rim of a coffee cup, with black clay dots for eyes and a simple outline of a little apron, is taking shape as an adorable little cat barista.

It didn't take much effort to make, and although it wasn't particularly exquisite, it had a touch of casual cuteness.

"Wow, impressive!" Chen Nian exclaimed in admiration.

Liu Ting raised an eyebrow and said proudly, "That's right, I used to play that all the time when I was a kid."

Chen Nian placed the kitten and the coffee cup together, then sculpted a yellow tray out of clay to secure the two, thus completing the task.

After he finished, he admired his finished product and said happily: "Not bad, let's call it a day!"

The photographer next to him quickly pointed his lens at his finished product: a crooked coffee cup paired with the adorable little cat barista sculpted by Liu Ting, creating an unexpectedly harmonious shot.

The viewers in the live stream were amused by this unexpected cuteness, and the chat was filled with comments:

"Are you serious?"

"The kitten barista is so cute, and Liu Ting's skills are amazing!"

"It seems Chen Nian has already finished work..."

Chen Nian placed the finished clay figurine into an exquisite gift box prepared by the production team.

Then he casually pushed it aside, found a comfortable position to sit in, and, out of boredom, started playing with the modules next to him.
