Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 47 Special Guest (Newcomer Seeking All Advice)
The main PD recalled that when they first arrived at the pier, Yoo Jae-suk showed off to the camera how he outwitted Yoona and finally got the box, and how he kept saying he would teach Yoona her first lesson. Now that he thinks about it, Yoona probably thought Yoo Jae-suk was an idiot back then.

"Pfft—hahaha! Liu Fengchu!" He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He laughed for a while before continuing:
"Aigoo... really... alright, alright, they're pretty good. Tell Yoona-ssi they succeeded in their mission, no need to find a locksmith, let's head straight to Macau Tower for the next level!"

He paused, his tone filled with immense regret:

"It's such a shame! Why didn't they film Yoona picking the lock?! Who would believe that if it aired! But I have a feeling this episode's ratings are going to explode... hahaha..."

The production manager, having received instructions, turned to the trio with a complicated expression and announced the results:
"Yoona-ssi, Taeyeon-ssi, Sunny-ssi, congratulations on successfully completing the mission! You can now proceed directly to the next mission location, Macau Tower, using your mission cards."

However, the secret locksmith, as an extra asset, will have a numerical advantage in the final mission. Are you sure you want to give up the search?

Jiang Che waved his hand dismissively:

After saying "It's okay, it's okay," he turned to Taeyeon and Sunny and said, "Unnie, it's still early, let's go get something to drink first."

Taeyeon and Sunny thought about it and since they had already passed the second level, they nodded in agreement.

So the trio leisurely found an open-air café by the sea.

"I want an iced Americano!" "Me too!" Taeyeon and Sunny exclaimed in unison. Kang Cheol sincerely admired the tacit understanding between the two sisters, Ah-Dai and Ah-Gua, but admiration aside...

He decisively said to the waiter:

"Just a glass of milk will do, thank you."

With the warm sunshine and gentle sea breeze, Jiang Che couldn't help but sigh:
"What perfect weather for bungee jumping!" This earned him two eye rolls.

The three sat under a parasol, sipping drinks, enjoying the scenery, and savoring their last moments of leisure. Taeyeon and Sunny even took a few photos, looking as beautiful as if they were from a magazine.

If we ignore the sudden commotion of chickens and dogs flying around not far away...

The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yoo Jae-suk carrying a suitcase, chasing after a guest whose face was obscured by a baseball cap, with a VJ panting heavily behind him.

Jiang Che sipped his bubble tea, feeling a little guilty as he looked at the scene, but then he swallowed the guilt along with the pearls.

After a while

Jiang Che calculated that it was about time, so he led Taeyeon and Sunny, who were gradually becoming frightened, to the nightmare place—Macau Tower.

The closer you get, the more oppressive the towering building becomes. Slender yet upright, it pierces the sky; just looking up at it makes your neck ache and your legs go weak.

"Oh no... I really can't..." Taeyeon's face began to turn pale, and she subconsciously grabbed Sunny's arm next to her.

Sunny was terrified, but she forced herself to remain calm and patted Taeyeon's hand in return.

"It's okay, we'll just... we'll just treat it as sightseeing! Yes, sightseeing!"

Looking at Taeyeon and Sunny, who were cowering in fear, Jiang Che felt a mix of amusement and helplessness. He could only comfort them, saying, "Relax, unnies, just close your eyes and kick your legs... oh no, I mean, maybe it'll be exciting and fun! You have to try new things in life!"

Just as Taeyeon and Sunny were encouraging each other, the second group arrived.

It's Kim Jong-kook, Gary, and Haha, along with the "secret locksmith" they found—a stylish guest with a standard business smile.

Jiang Che took a closer look, and his heart skipped a beat.

Lee Seungri?!

Lee Seungri from Bigbang?!
"Damn, thank goodness I didn't go looking for the guests. But at this time, has his business not even started yet, or has he already started secretly?"

Jiang Che's thoughts raced. Memories of this guy from his past life flooded his mind—all sorts of negative news… he truly made headlines worldwide with his own news. He's practically a walking time bomb!
Jiang Che's pupils contracted slightly, and almost subconsciously, he took half a step to the side, subtly blocking Taeyeon and Sunny a little bit in front of them.

Taeyeon, who was immersed in fear, was slightly distracted by this sudden action. She subconsciously narrowed her eyes, glancing suspiciously between Kang Cheol and Lee Seungri, a question mark forming in her mind.

Sunny's attention was mostly occupied by the bungee tower. She looked up at the sound and, seeing who it was, forced a smile.

"Seungri oppa? Annyeonghaseyo~ What brings you here too?"

At that moment, Kim Jong-kook, Gary, and Haha also walked over. As soon as Haha saw Im Yoon-a, he remembered Yoo Jae-suk's infamous trickery with an empty box, and immediately burst into laughter, giving Kang Cheol a thumbs up: "Wow! Yoon-a! Well done! Hahaha! As expected of Girls' Generation!"

Gary chuckled sheepishly, "Yeah! Yoona-ssi, you're really amazing."

Kim Jong-kook blinked, and thinking of Yoo Jae-suk's expression when he finally discovered the truth, he couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Yoona, well done!"

Lee Seungri wore an impeccable smile on his face.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Taeyeon, Sunny, Yoona, haha, I'm here because the show's pay is too good! Also, it's my first time bungee jumping, so please take care of me!"

Jiang Che watched his flawless performance and mentally ranted:
"Holy crap, his acting, his facial expressions… Yoona really should learn from him… If I hadn't transmigrated here and knew how far this kid could go, I definitely would have been fooled by his innocent appearance too. You really can't judge a book by its cover…"

Despite his inner turmoil, Jiang Che had to put on a smile. He forced a professional smile and bowed slightly in return, saying, "Annyeonghaseyo, Victory-ssi."

Taeyeon, who had been secretly observing, saw Yoona's alter ego's extremely standard business smile. Although the question mark in her heart grew even bigger, she thought that she would soon be going up the tower, so she decided to suppress the question mark for now.

Just then, the third team finally arrived. Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Kwang-soo arrived.

Yoo Jae-suk spotted Im Yoon-ah immediately, and overwhelmed with grief, he disregarded his seniority and the other guests, pointing at Kang Cheol with a voice full of accusation:

"Hey! Yoona! Didn't you say you wanted to form an alliance? Is this how you treat your allies? You gave your ally an empty box! Who will want to be your ally in the future if you do this?!"

He thought about how he had been carrying that empty box, running like a fool around Fisherman's Wharf. He had even caught up with Lee Seung-ri while chasing him.
But because he was holding the box in one hand, he couldn't use the other hand properly, and Lee Seungri managed to escape, which resulted in him bumping into Haha and the others.
