Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

"Ding-dong..."

"Welcome, guest!"

As the electric door opened, the shop assistant standing behind the counter greeted Jiang Xingchen warmly as she entered the store.

Jiang Xingchen bowed slightly and then walked towards the freezer next to her.

Despite knowing that his system was idiotic, he decided to try his luck because of the generous rewards it offered.

5000 Korean won.

For him now, this is a huge sum of money.

What if?

right!

As he walked out of the convenience store with the banana milk in his hand, a thought struck him, and he pulled up the location that the system had given him when it issued the task.

The map shows a red dot – Jinlan Middle School.

And a map showing the route to there.

So, following the signs, I found the nearest subway station and set off.

Following the system's guidance, he arrived safely near the Holy Water Cave after about forty minutes.

[Main Quest: Collect the original lineup of divine beauties 0/6]

[Mission Target: S-Rank Trainee Park Ji-yeon]

[Task Description: As a successful talent agency founder and an excellent talent scout, you must be keen to spot those untapped gems still in the ivory tower.]

Let's intercept Park Ji-yeon at the entrance of Jinran Middle School!

To show your sincerity, give her a bottle of banana milk and win her favor!

[Mission Reward: Initial Startup Capital - 5000 million Korean Won.]

As he walked out of the subway station, the system interface reappeared before his eyes.

And the content is more comprehensive than it was an hour ago.

This change also made him look forward to the reward more.

However, I'm still a bit speechless.

"This idiotic system is so rich, why can't it upgrade its 90-nanometer CPU?"

"Middle school student Park Ji-yeon?"

"Based on the current timeline, how many years has she repeated a grade?"

"I just rushed up to deliver milk without thinking. You could call it support, but if you label it sexual harassment."

"If a policeman happens to be nearby, he could probably just take me away."

"And what if a Queen's fanaticism comes along..."

"..."

As they walked, Jiang Xingchen suddenly stopped talking.

He stood in front of a real estate agency, gazing at the luxurious Galleria Foret apartment complex across the street, lost in thought.

The system's blue light screen was brought up again.

The red dot on the simplified map is slightly moving, indicating that the destination is just ahead.

He rolled his eyes at the air.

"Jinlan Middle School?"

"As expected, this system is unreliable!"

"What a waste of my 1500 won for the subway ride..."

Jiang Xingchen looked up at the tall building across the street and felt that the sunlight was a bit too bright.

Feeling a bit thirsty, he reached into his pocket for the banana milk.

After taking it out and glancing at it twice, I put it back.

Then he started walking towards the only convenience store in sight.

As soon as I reached the door, the convenience store's sensor door opened with a "ding-dong".

A cool breeze carrying a faint fragrance wafted over.

He raised his eyes slightly.

A woman wearing a black baseball cap pulled low and a mask walked out, carrying a black plastic bag.

The woman's hair, visible beneath the brim of her hat, was slightly disheveled.

He was wearing a large, light gray sun-protective shirt.

The simple denim shorts accentuated her long, straight legs, making them very eye-catching.

As he looked up, the woman also looked up at him.

Park Jiyeon!

I actually met him!

The moment their eyes met, Jiang Xingchen instantly recognized the woman's identity.

His target was none other than Park Ji-yeon, a middle school student.

The change in his eyes made Park Jiyeon realize that she had been recognized, so she quickened her pace to leave.

In order to complete the mission, Jiang Xingchen gritted her teeth, turned around, and followed.

The approaching footsteps made Park Jiyeon frown, but she pretended not to hear them and continued walking forward.

However, we were still a step too late.

The green light turned red, and the stalled traffic started moving again.

The footsteps behind them stopped.

She was quite certain that the footsteps belonged to someone who had come for her.

Park Jiyeon, who wasn't debuting for the first time, suddenly turned around. Jiang Xingchen, whose face was slightly pale but still looked quite energetic, was standing two steps behind her.

"Which media outlet are you from? How dare you be so unruly?"

A flicker of disgust crossed her eyes as she asked the question in an icy tone.

Clearly, they mistook Jiang Xingchen for an entertainment reporter, or paparazzi, wandering the streets.

"Ani, I'm not a reporter!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingchen quickly raised her hands to prove her innocence, "What reporter doesn't bring a camera?"

In his heart, he was frantically complaining.

"Idiot system, did you see that clearly?"

"This is a 14-year-old middle school student!"

"That look clearly wants to physically execute me on the spot!"

Park Jiyeon couldn't hear Jiang Xingchen's inner complaints, but seeing his outstretched hands, she somewhat believed what he said.

But vigilance has not been abated.

"So, what do you need?"

"that..."

When she asked about her purpose, Jiang Xingchen hesitated for a moment.

The banana milk was in his pocket.

If you just take it out and hand it over, people will probably think you're crazy.

If we don't show it, who knows if the system's task is real or fake?

"Fifteen seconds left on the red light!"

Park Jiyeon, who was contemplating whether to leave immediately, noticed his hesitation and, for some reason, stopped her step and offered a word of reminder.

"Damn it, I'm going all in!"

Jiang Xingchen gritted her teeth, took out the bottle of banana milk that was no longer cold from her pocket, and handed it to Park Jiyeon.

"Um... would you believe me if I said I came to deliver banana milk to you?"

The air seemed to freeze the moment he uttered those words.

He even heard snickers coming from the side.

They probably mistook him for a loser trying to woo a goddess.

Park Jiyeon stared at him with wide eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief.

His voice trembled slightly.

"Banana milk?"

"Hey, banana milk, this should taste a bit better than the soju in your bag."

Having already said what she wanted to say, Jiang Xingchen was now completely uninhibited, and her speech became much smoother.

At the same time, his gaze fell on the black plastic bag in Park Jiyeon's hand, wondering which direction he should dodge in case she picked up a bottle and threw it at him.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it."

Park Jiyeon suppressed her temper and refused Jiang Xingchen's "kind offer".

Yes, the "good intentions" were in quotation marks.

In her opinion, the man in front of her was probably mentally ill, otherwise he wouldn't have done something so absurd.

After saying that, she noticed the red light had turned green, and decisively turned around and quickly left.

She had only taken a few steps when she sensed Jiang Xingchen following her.

Ignoring him, after crossing the street, he suddenly stopped and turned around, glaring sharply at Jiang Xingchen.

"I don't care who you are or what your purpose is, please don't follow me!"

"Otherwise, I'll call the police!"

"Sir, you don't want to be taken away as a sexual harassment suspect, do you?"

Eh?

That's some serious talking!

Park Jiyeon's tone made Jiang Xingchen pause for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

He chuckled twice.

Then he placed the banana milk in his hand on the steps of the flower bed next to him.

"Jiyeon-ssi, I'm just an ordinary fan."

He paused slightly as he spoke, "In the past."

"It was a bit abrupt to suddenly say I wanted to give you a bottle of banana milk, but it was a spur-of-the-moment decision."

"Whether you drink it before, after, or even before drinking alcohol, it doesn't matter."

"Or you can just throw it away."

"Whatever makes you happy."

After saying these words, he gave a slight bow and then decisively left.

His abrupt turn left Park Jiyeon momentarily bewildered, and she simply stared blankly at his departing figure.

...

...

On the other side, Jiang Xingchen, who had just left, began to regret it!

I regret not being more shameless earlier.

The system is mentally deficient.

Is he mentally disabled himself?

Logically speaking, with his transmigration and the system, he should be considered a protagonist at least.

But the first task failed.

Lose your face!

But just then...

[Ding! Mission complete!]

The initial funding of 5000 million Korean won has been deposited into the host's bank account ending in 8888.

[The funds are from a clean source; please use them with confidence.]

Park Ji-yeon's favorability towards the host has increased slightly.

The system's blue light screen suddenly popped up in front of my eyes.

The flowing text indicated that he had completed the task.

This made him suspect that the tasks issued by the mentally challenged system were actually completed without him having to perform them.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a series of hurried footsteps behind him.

Park Jiyeon caught up with him, carrying a bag in one hand and the banana milk he had just put on the ground in the other.

With a raised eyebrow, he immediately understood how the task had been completed.

"Hey, what did you mean by what you just said?" Park Jiyeon, who had caught up with him, looked a little unconvinced.

Even if T-ara is at its worst right now, surely not all of their fans have left!

It even ran right up to me.

What's the difference between this and using a close-range ultimate attack?

Seeing Park Jiyeon's expression, Jiang Xingchen smiled slightly.

"Park Jiyeon-ssi, let's get to know each other again. My name is Kang Sung-jin, and I'm the president of Starlight Entertainment."
