Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

[System notification: New team leader Kim Tae-yeon has been greatly encouraged and her confidence has been restored. Mission complete.]

[Reward for the Mission - A brand new 2007 Motorola flip phone has been distributed]

Samseong-dong, SM Exchange Center, first floor, outside the lobby.

Jiang Xingchen looked back in bewilderment at the elevator lobby where the figure had disappeared, then looked ahead at the bustling traffic.

Unexpectedly, this system task was completed with just one word, "Stay strong!"

Isn't there also Girls' Generation's classic slogan?

Masaka!

TM is just a facade, isn't it?

As long as you feel better, you've completed the task!

"This is outrageous!"

He muttered a complaint under his breath.

This system doesn't give any prompts at all.

They kill but don't bury.

Although it has been determined that as long as the requirements are followed, the process does not matter, and the final goal is achieved, the task is considered complete.

but...

But it didn't say that the content in the "task requirements" could be ignored, right?

Following this logic...

A few nights ago, when I was taking Ham Eun-jung home.

He didn't seem to need to use a joking tone when he said that resolving her current predicament step by step would be considered completing the task.

"What the hell is this system like? It's utterly idiotic."

I thought I had figured out a situation regarding the system tasks.

Now there's another unexpected discovery.

It's truly speechless.

However, Jiang Xingchen was already used to the abstract nature of this broken system, so he just made a few complaints and started walking forward.

Without thinking, he pulled the phone he had just acquired from his pocket.

I want to see some antiques from ten years ago.

He stopped after taking only two steps.

[Mobile phone: Please enter your password.]

"Oh, the password?"

He stood still on the street.

One eye is bigger than the other as they look at the phone screen.

In just a few seconds, this broken system abstracted twice!

The system interface was then brought up.

I want to check if I've missed any information.

In the end, only one note was found.

[Note: This is an encrypted phone; it might hold some unknown secrets. I'm so excited...]

"Looking forward to it, damn it..."

"!@#￥%…………&*"

...

...

Forty minutes later.

Jiang Xingchen returned to EPOCH with the latest model phone that had no password.

He then placed his bag on the cleaned desk.

The zipper was pulled open with a whoosh.

"What did you bring back?"

Park Hyomin and Park Jiyeon curiously came closer.

But when I saw that bunch of brightly colored plastic sunglasses inside—fluorescent green, electric blue, and deathly Barbie pink—I froze.

I said...

"Did you rob a stationery store in Dongdaemun that went out of business ten years ago?"

Just like Jiang Xingchen faced the system task.

Park Hyo-min also seemed to have a knack for making sarcastic remarks.

She picked up a pair of Venetian blinds with a look of disgust. "Even elementary school kids don't wear these anymore!"

"I just can't think of a way to 'be worthy' of these glasses!"

Don't jump to conclusions.

Listening to her complaints, Jiang Xingchen felt a sense of familiarity.

By the way...

Isn't that just him?!

He smiled and shook his head, raising his hand to signal Park Hyomin to stop.

With a smile on his face, he casually picked up a pair of well-made white wide-rimmed sunglasses and looked at himself in the light.

The hinges on the temples fit perfectly, and the material is clear and bright, completely lacking the dullness of cheap plastic.

Well...

System produced.

The quality is still guaranteed.

However, boasting about the quality of this product is not very useful; it depends on how well it is combined with other products.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Park Hyo-min.

Without a word, he placed the white sunglasses he was holding on her nose.

I took a step back and looked around.

All I can say is that good looks are a plus.

Just looking at it like this, it doesn't seem ugly at all.

The styles just don't quite match.

He pursed his lips and thought for a moment.

He then stepped closer and ruffled her smooth, long hair, grabbed a hairband from Park Jiyeon, and tied it into a high ponytail.

"Ji-yeon, did you bring your oversized hoodie?"

"It's in the car, do you want it now?"

"Give me the key, I'll go get it."

"oh..."

Park Jiyeon naturally handed over the keys.

Jiang Xingchen took it, went out, and came back with the clothes in her arms.

After a lot of trouble.

A cool Y2K sizzling girl, brimming with millennial rebellion, appeared before the two of them.

Well...

Limited by clothing.

It hasn't quite reached the final feeling that Jiang Xingchen envisioned.

"Wow..."

Beside her, Park Jiyeon exclaimed, "Unnie, it looks a little strange, but... it's strangely stylish!"

As she spoke, she immediately turned around to find a mirror so that Park Hyomin could see herself, but after turning around, she realized that there was no mirror in this shabby place.

Finally, having no other choice, he reached out and pulled out Jiang Xingchen's tablet, then turned on the front-facing camera.

Park Hyo-min looked at herself on the screen.

Although the details are a bit hard to see from a distance, the overall style is still fine.

She glanced at it quickly, then turned to Jiang Xingchen.

"You really are a genius!"

"Thank you for the compliment," Jiang Xingchen walked to Park Jiyeon's side and took the tablet from her hand.

Park Jiyeon was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face.

This seemingly unintentional action was also noticed by Park Hyo-min.

Without paying much attention to their micro-expressions, Jiang Xingchen continued what he hadn't finished saying.

"This is Retro Core, which is an extension of the Newtro concept."

"Advisor Kang, just how many more brilliant ideas are still swirling in your head?" Park Hyo-min pushed up her sunglasses and then extended an invitation.

"I have some free time these next couple of days, how about we go visit Eun-kyung unnie?"

"No problem, the environment over there is better. Tomorrow?"

Jiang Xingchen agreed without hesitation, then turned to look at Park Jiyeon beside her.

"I'll go too!" Park Jiyeon raised her hand without hesitation, then glanced at the shabby office, "You don't even have a big mirror here, it's inconvenient."

"By the way, when do you plan to sign the contract for the venue in Holy Water?"

"Let me sort out what I'm currently dealing with in the next few days."

"oh..."

"Oh, right," Jiang Xingchen put down her tablet, walked to the table, and patted the handbag on it.

"I still have quite a few of these sunglasses. I'm planning a charity sale, and I need your cooperation."

"However, since it's an event, it wouldn't be appropriate to bypass your company, so I'll have to find time to meet with your president!"

"President-nim?"

Park Jiyeon exclaimed in surprise when she heard him say he wanted to see Kim Kwang-soo.

Without him.

According to her plan.

In the last few months, Jiang Xingchen probably assisted from the sidelines as an advisor.

"Pabjiyeon..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingchen raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead.

Then he casually rubbed it a couple more times.

"We talked about this when we first met."

"Many of the things I want to do cannot be done without going through your company."

"So meeting up is inevitable."

"oh..."

Park Jiyeon responded blankly, her mind completely elsewhere, and instead she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xingchen's large hand.

A few seconds later, she came to her senses and asked him when he planned to meet.

"Let's talk about EXID after we meet with Eun-kyung tomorrow and discuss it."

"Alas..."
