Chapter 1: The New Variety Show!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Central California was a vast and sparsely populated area. It was far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The traffic was heavy. It had become a dream destination for many young people.
A straight road, flanked by wide grassy fields.
Cattle and sheep could be seen moving about freely.
The scattered village houses were located on one side of the road.
During this time, a few cars turned into a small pavement off the main road.
Finally, they stopped in front of a duplex house.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, mayor! I’m the director of this brand-new variety show, Yearning! Villages and Towns! I am Director Kaki.”
Director Kaki was over 50 years old. He got out of the car and shook hands with the mayor with an amiable expression.
“Director Kaki, I’ve heard a lot about you. The residents of our town like watching the masterpieces you’ve produced.”
The mayor looked excited and flattered.
The man in front of him was a famous international director.
He had shot famous movies such as Titan and Avatar.
However, he was halfway through his career and was planning to retire.
He did not expect him to be invited out again.
It seemed that this variety show would be popular all over the world.
This was because his presence could guarantee viewership and ratings.
After Cameron introduced himself, a sexy and tall female star walked over.
Her name was Megan.
She had appeared in movies such as Transformers and Ninja Turtles.
She attracted a lot of attention because of her sexy figure.
“Grandpa, it’s Megan. Megan is here too,” said a boy who looked to be about 16 or 17 years old. He was excited.
Soon, the other people in the car came out one after another.
Aside from the staff of the program team, the other individuals were all famous people in America, or even in the world.
“Has the live broadcast started?” asked Director Kaki. He turned to look at the camera crew.
After getting a response from the cameraman, Cameron1 then turned to the camera and started to speak.
“Hello, everyone. Welcome to our new variety show, Yearning! Villages and Towns! I am your old friend Kaki. I will be the host and director of this show. Next, please allow me to introduce our Yearning partners.”
After Cameron gave a signal, the camera turned to the first person.
The first person was a middle-aged man with short hair.
The man had a strong figure and dark skin.
“Hello, everyone. My name is Uncle Bei. I’m very honored to be invited to ‘Yearning’ this time.”
Master Bei’s sunny smile made many viewers in the live broadcast room feel warm.
Even more so for the fans who were trying to survive in the wilderness.
“The strongest man, Master Bei has returned!”
“Even Master Bei has been invited. This show is going to be interesting.”
“I’m starting to worry about the cattle and sheep in the villages and towns.”
In the face of Master Bei’s appearance, the viewers in the live broadcast room were all in high spirits.
Behind Master Bei, the camera lens showed a man with a full beard.
He had a square face, a beard, and charming little eyes. He was instantly recognized by everyone.
“It’s actually Little Rob!”
“Our Little Rob is back!”
“This man reminds me of the man who ruled the cinema all those years ago.”
“Hero, our hero!”
That person was the famous sci-fi movie star, Little Rob.
His handsome appearance, coupled with his outstanding acting skills, made him favourable among many male and female fans.
After Little Rob made his appearance, a basketball superstar named Jaime soon appeared on the screen. He was accompanied by the sexy and hot female star Megan.
The appearance of those two people caused a huge wave of commotion.
This was especially so for Megan given her hot figure and beautiful appearance.
Many people expressed their love for her.
“Megan is a beautiful flower among the grass here.”
After Director Kaki introduced the program staff to the audience, he began to ask the mayor about the situation in the village and town.
“Mayor, I heard that your village has a long history. It has been around for hundreds of years?” asked Director Kaki.
“Yes, our village existed before the Civil War. At that time, we made a great contribution to the Northern Alliance Army.”
The mayor sighed and recalled the history of the village and town. It was more than 200 years.
“An ancient town of more than 200 years? That’s very valuable.”
Master Bei was the first to speak up.
With the rapid development of urbanization, many places in the United States had all built high-rise buildings.
Places like this village and town that still had historical and cultural heritage were really rare.
Master Bei had been wandering around some primitive ancient villages all year round and was very interested in places with historical and cultural value.
“I wonder what happened here?” asked Little Rob curiously.
“In the past, we mainly relied on the development of the manor economy to make a living here. Naturally, there were many slave owners and exploitation became the norm. My ancestor was only one of the slaves. Back then…”
The mayor thoroughly explained the darkness when they were under the rule of a slave system in the 19th century.
“At that time, a foreigner came from outside the village. He called himself Lynn and single-handedly led many slaves to stand up and resist. He even single-handedly fought against the private army of the manor owner, who was the most arrogant at that time.”
The old mayor recounted the story from 200 years ago.
After hearing the story, everyone who was present including the audience in the live broadcast room were all stunned.
“One person blocking the entire private army? This is too much of a myth. At that time, rifles and other firearms were already created,” said Megan in disbelief.
This was not an era of cold weapons. A general could take on ten, or even more people at once. If one were to exaggerate, he could even go against a hundred.
However, the 19th century was already the era of hot weapons. No matter how fast a person was, it would be difficult for him to be faster than bullets and cannonballs.
“Perhaps you may feel that it is too much of a myth and that it’s unbelievable. However, the records shown in our village are like this, and every family was told the same story for generations. We firmly believe in our history.”
The old mayor’s eyes were firm and full of hope.
“What about that person? What about that person called Lynn?” asked Little Rob.
“After Lynn led us to victory and success, he left quietly. No one knew where he went or what he was doing. But at that time, there was a young servant behind him. It is said that the servant later went to work for the central government and became a high official.”
“Then mayor, do you know the name of that servant?”
After thinking for a moment, the mayor answered, “That person seems to be known as Arnold.”
At the same time, in the live broadcast room, everyone was shocked.
“What!”
“Arnold!”
“Arnold was the number one fierce general of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War!”
“General Arnold used to be a servant for a person named Lynn?”
“Is that true?”
Someone said in disbelief.
“It might be true!”
Someone suddenly revealed the truth.
“It is said that after the Revolutionary War ended, a reporter interviewed General Arnold. He once said that he used to be a servant of a person in the past, and had learned his life skills from that person. However, he only learned a little at that time. Everyone thought that he was joking, but it seems to be true now.”
