Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

"If you have so much money, why not update the database?"

"It saves me the trouble of understanding what you mean."

"In order to complete the mission, I also need to try my best not to be mistaken for a mental patient..."

Jiang Xingchen took a swig of ice-cold beer and muttered a few complaints about the gradually deserting street.

After transmigrating, he adapted to everything very well.

The only problem is that this system seems to have no brain at all.

It's a small matter to put in some effort to understand the task content.

Executable tasks.

God knows what will happen.

He even thought that the task of giving Park Jiyeon banana milk to gain her favor might be a low-level form of mental illness.

Unfortunately, the system did not respond to his complaints at all.

In the end, he could only raise his hand again.

The bitter wine went down my throat.

I sat across from the YG Entertainment building for about 20 minutes and drank two cans of beer.

Feeling that she wouldn't gain anything tonight, Jiang Xingchen got up and walked along the deserted street toward the subway station.

As I walked, I pondered whether there was a problem with my testing method.

At the same time, I was also thinking about whether I should try my luck at SM Entertainment.

Although Choi Soo-young, Hwang Mi-young, and Seohyun will announce early next month that they will not renew their contracts with SM Entertainment, it will always be the most coveted star-studded hall of fame for trainees.

If you go there, you might have more opportunities to get freebies?

"Hey, what do you mean by 'wool-gathering'?"

"Isn't it all for Queen and Queen's!"

Sudden.

As he passed through a small alley, he heard a rustling sound coming from inside.

"Aigoo... It's so hot..."

A deliberately lowered female voice came through.

Along with it came a rich, enticing aroma of fried chicken.

【bite...】

[Side Quest Released]

[Mission Target: Kim Jisoo, who has not yet become a trainee]

[Task Description: It has been detected that Kim Jisoo, an ordinary person with top-tier development potential, is being harassed. Please help resolve this issue promptly.]

[Mission Requirements: Resolve this problem and ensure Kim Jisoo's safety. PS: Please do not judge her based on her current relatively ordinary appearance.]

[Task Reward: Beginner Dance Mastery]

Jiang Xingchen raised an eyebrow, never expecting to meet Kim Jisoo under such circumstances.

As for the system's claim of "being bothered by others," he didn't believe it at all.

However, he still nimbly turned around and went into the alley next to him, walking into the depths of the shadows.

He hadn't taken more than two steps.

Then I saw a petite figure wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a mask, looking like a secret agent.

If nothing unexpected happens, then it will be Kim Jisoo.

She was hiding in a corner.

Holding a box of freshly baked honey-fried chicken.

He was trying to pick up a piece with his fingers and put it in his mouth without getting his clothes dirty.

only...

"How can you eat while wearing a mask?"

Seeing her outrageous actions, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but laugh and tease her.

The cat's figure in the corner froze instantly, the fried chicken in its hand suspended in mid-air, its big eyes darting around.

It seemed unexpected that someone would appear at this time and in this corner.

"Mia..."

Upon being reminded, Kim Jisoo instinctively wanted to say "Mian ah ne".

But just then, a series of hurried footsteps and voices suddenly rang out at the entrance of the alley!

Where did they go?

"That's strange, I think I just saw them walking this way?"

It was the agent's voice.

Kim Jisoo immediately shut her mouth.

Looking down at the fried chicken in his hand, he reluctantly put the piece he had just taken out back down.

I'm currently in the process of managing my figure.

Tonight, I have an unusually strong craving for fried chicken.

So I secretly ordered one.

Who knew we'd encounter something like this!

There's one more thing.

The strange man who suddenly appeared in front of her, "kindly" reminding her that she should take off her mask when eating.

That's a bit strange!

For safety's sake, sell out and get out!

Just as she was desperately preparing to "surrender,"

Jiang Xingchen took a step in front of her, turned his body to the side with an extremely natural air, and used his broad back to block the corner.

At the same time, he raised the beer can in his hand as if he was on the phone.

"Feed? Ah...right...I'm checking out the site here in Hapjeong-dong...the signal isn't very good?"

The agent paused at the alley entrance.

I glanced inside and saw a tall man on the phone.

He left after just one glance.

In the dead of night, standing in a dark alley, holding a beer can, he was talking on the phone and saying he was looking at a venue.

It's obviously not normal.

"I really don't know who's so lucky to have such a partner!"

The manager muttered a complaint under his breath and then walked in another direction, still muttering about Kim Jisoo hiding.

The footsteps faded into the distance.

Only after she completely disappeared did Jiang Xingchen put down her phone, turn around, and look down at the girl who was still hiding in the corner.

"Blackpink's visual center, Kim Jisoo."

He looked at Kim Jisoo with a half-smile, "Hiding here in the middle of the night to sneak in some high-calorie fried food, if President Yang finds out, will he make you run twenty more laps?"

"No, with your current popularity, having this kind of meal once in a while wouldn't be a problem, so are you out of your mind?"

Kim Jisoo suddenly stood up, her eyes widening in the distance above her mask.

"Oh my!"

"How did you recognize me?!"

She removed a corner of her mask, her face filled with surprise.

Looking at this face that was still stunning even without makeup, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but mentally complain about the system again.

Is Kim Jisoo relatively ordinary?

This?

As for Kim Ji-soo, who was recognized at this moment, she no longer had the panic she had just felt.

Her four-dimensional brain circuitry meant that, once she came to her senses, her first concern wasn't about the rumors of her being with a strange man in an alley late at night.

Instead, he protected the fried chicken in his hand.

"Um... I was just too hungry from practicing!"

She shouted, then looked at Jiang Xingchen warily, "Are you a stalker? Or a paparazzi!"

"I'm just a kind passerby," Jiang Xingchen said, pointing to the fried chicken in her hand.

Seeing this, Kim Jisoo chuckled somewhat sheepishly and explained why she had hidden away.

It's just that I had no reason to want to eat it, and I didn't want to be discovered.

After giving a brief explanation, she added another sentence.

"The company president wouldn't punish me for this box of fried chicken!"

That's all.

Perhaps unaware of the unsettling aura emanating from Jiang Xingchen, he generously handed over the box of fried chicken, saying, "As hush money, would you like to have a piece?"

"It's from one of my favorite shops, and it's honey-flavored."

"You still have beer, fried chicken, and more beer."

Jiang Xingchen glanced down at the fried chicken, but didn't refuse. She carefully picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

After he finished eating, he finally spoke: "The taste was indeed good, but I don't think this piece of fried chicken is enough as hush money."

Upon hearing this, Kim Jisoo immediately took a step back and cautiously hid the bag she was carrying behind her back.

"I didn't bring any cash, and I've only been in the industry for a year, so I'm not very rich."

"I don't want money."

Jiang Xingchen grinned, "I want the contact information for the person in charge of Blackpink's current styling team."

"Huh?" Upon hearing the words "free of charge," Kim Jisoo, who had already begun to regret not letting her manager notice her earlier, froze.

"What do you want with Smart Unnie's phone number? To poach her?"

As she spoke, she looked Jiang Xingchen up and down again, her eyes suddenly realizing, "Although you're not bad looking, your outfits... are really beyond saving."

"But we don't really need Smart Unnie to step in, do we?"

"hold head high?"
