Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 120 Sunny's Career Line (5k)

Hearing this, Jiang Che stopped pressing the matter and, remembering another important matter, said to Yoon-ah:

"By the way, Yoona, there's something I need to tell you."

"Mo?" Yoona looked at him warily, always feeling that this guy's words were never good.

"Well... when I was in China, I promised Shirley that she could visit me often after she returned to Seoul," Jiang Che said a little shyly.

"So... if she messages you later to ask you out, remember to let me know. But don't worry, I've added a caveat: it depends on her schedule, so she probably won't surprise you."

Yoona: "???"

Her doe-like eyes widened instantly as she stared at Jiang Che in disbelief:

"So you've patched up this mess, and I'm supposed to praise you? You're using my face to make promises to random young girls? Do you think that's appropriate? Huh?!"

Jiang Che gave an awkward laugh:

"There's nothing I can do... Sherry's condition... doesn't seem to be very good."

"Mo?"

"bad mood?"

Upon hearing this, even Sunny and Taeyeon, who were standing nearby, turned to look at them, their faces filled with concern.

Yoona temporarily suppressed her anger at Jiang Che's unauthorized promise and pressed him for an answer:

"what happened?"

Jiang Che thought about Shirley's situation, then organized his thoughts and concisely recounted his encounter with the anti-fans on the Great Wall.

"What?! How could that person do that?!" Yoona immediately became angry upon hearing this.
"That's going too far!"

Taeyeon also sighed with heartache:
"Sigh... Sherry, that girl, she seems cheerful on the surface, but she must be very sad inside..." She thought to herself, wondering if she should take the initiative to contact Sherry more often and spend more time with her in the future.

Sunny frowned slightly: "Is Shirley alright?"

"They seemed to have calmed her down, so everything should be fine now." Jiang Che shook his head.

"I just wanted to let you know so that you can keep a closer eye on her condition in the future."

"In that case... I understand." Yoona took a deep breath, tacitly agreeing to the agreement Jiang Che had made for her.

"If Sulli messages me again, I'll see what to do."

The atmosphere was a little depressing for a moment.

Seeing this, Jiang Che quickly tried to liven up the atmosphere. He looked at Sunny and suddenly had a flash of inspiration—he finally knew what kind of career to arrange for this woman:

"Sunny, do you usually like playing video games?"

"Games? I like them!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che felt confident:

"You love playing games so much, have you ever thought about... doing game streaming?"

"Game...live stream?" A hint of doubt and curiosity flashed in Sunny's eyes, and she unconsciously sat up straighter.
"Tell me in detail, what game is it? How do I play it?"

Jiang Che organized his thoughts and explained:

"Just find the hottest live streaming platform, open a room, and for games, how about League of Legends? It's popular, and there are lots of viewers. People will watch you play, interact with you, and send you gifts..."

Sunny's eyes lit up for a moment, but then, as if she had thought of something, she hesitated and said:
"That sounds interesting... but can the company allow it?"
"You can try asking the company first. Besides, we can not reveal our identities at the beginning, we can not show our faces, just do a live broadcast with only sound, or even not turn on the sound at all, and focus on raising our rank first."

"Not showing your face?" Sunny blinked.

"That's right!" Jiang Che felt increasingly convinced of the feasibility as he spoke, leaning forward slightly.
"Imagine you hide your identity and grind your way up the ranks in the game. One day, you secretly reach a high rank, maybe even the highest, becoming the best solo queue player!"

If the company agrees, then when you turn on your camera and show your face on a live stream—wow! Fans will see and exclaim, "Wow! Isn't that Sunny from Girls' Generation?"
She's this good at video games?! Turns out, the best random player is actually her!

He described it vividly:

"Wouldn't the live chat explode with that kind of scene? It would be filled with '???', 'Sunny unnie is killing me!', 'Sunny, you are my god!' Just imagine how awesome that contrast would be!"

As Sunny listened to his description, the image involuntarily flashed into her mind: the hero she controlled dominating the battlefield, with the screen filled with comments of amazement and admiration...

She subconsciously licked her lips, feeling her blood heat up; it did sound really exciting!

But after the initial excitement, real-world problems arose. Although she considered herself quite good at the game, she was still a little insecure:

"The idea is great... but reaching the King rank? That's too difficult, isn't it? I feel like I might not be up to the task..." She had a fairly clear understanding of her own abilities.

"What are you afraid of! I'm here for you! You practice on your own first, and if you really can't manage, I'll step in. Didn't you want me to cover for you?"

Jiang Che patted his chest, his face showing an expression that said, "Leave it to me."

He thought to himself that although his skills in his previous life were not at the T0 or T1 level, he knew a lot of advanced tactics and strategies, so getting a high score shouldn't be difficult—this is called knowledge-based attack!

Then continue to increase the stakes:

"Besides, as a female idol, as long as your gaming skills are much better than the average female player, that's enough. If you can also reach the high-ranking level of male players, that would be a huge gimmick in itself! Your fans would absolutely go wild!"

Sunny felt completely convinced, but then a question arose:
"...But, isn't it a bit inappropriate for an idol to do this? It feels a bit..."

Jiang Che almost burst out laughing when he heard what Sunny hadn't finished saying. He thought to himself, "You probably haven't seen the future of celebrities doing live-streaming sales and calling out to their families. That's truly a unique sight."

However, he still explained earnestly:
"That's simple, we can just turn off the tipping feature. Or, to be even more extreme, we can turn on the tipping feature and then announce that all the proceeds will be donated. That way, we can make money and gain a good reputation at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

The more he talked, the more he felt he was incredibly clever, and he threw out the ultimate temptation:
"Once you become famous, the official League of Legends team might even come knocking on your door, inviting you to be the spokesperson for the Peninsula League of Legends, and maybe even creating a custom skin for you!"

Upon hearing this, Sunny's last shred of hesitation vanished. Her eyes shone like searchlights, and she couldn't wait to grab her computer and start working on it right then and there. She rubbed her hands together excitedly.
"Which hero skin do you think would suit me best? I want something cute, but not too weak either, something that can carry the whole game!"

Taeyeon, standing nearby, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh at Sunny's incredibly enthusiastic expression. Yoona, standing beside her, silently facepalmed, 'Goodness, was Kang Cheol involved in a pyramid scheme in his past life? His brainwashing abilities are too strong!'

Jiang Che almost lost his composure – they hadn't even started playing the game yet, how come this girl had already jumped to the stage of enjoying the fruits of her labor?
He suppressed a laugh, carefully examined Sunny, and after a moment of contemplation, said:
"Teemo or Ahri, I guess."

"Mo?" Sunny blinked, a little confused about the criteria for this choice.

Taeyeon, who was standing next to Sunny, reacted immediately, burst out laughing, and gestured to show her height to Sunny:
"Teemo is just that tall, no problem!"

Sunny immediately bristled:

Hey! Kim Tae-yeon! Aren't you about the same height as me?

"Ani ani, I'm 3 centimeters taller than you! 3 centimeters is still tall!"

Sunny stomped her feet in anger: "If you're so capable, let's lie down and have a contest!"

One sentence could kill the game.

Jiang Che listened with amusement, and seeing the interaction between the two short, powerful men, he couldn't help but add fuel to the fire:

"If it's a contest where you lie down, Sunny definitely has a better chance of winning."

Sunny turned around and wanted to hit Kang Cheol, but Taeyeon, despite being the first blooded, quickly stopped her.
"Eat first, eat first, the food is getting cold."

At this moment, Yoona, who was listening nearby, was completely confused and asked curiously:

"What are Teemo and Ahri? Why are you comparing heights?"

Taeyeon explained while laughing:
Teemo is a champion in League of Legends, known for his small and cute appearance. As for Ahri...

Taeyeon said, "I need to look this up. I don't know why Sunny looks like Ahri either."

Sunny then realized there was also an option for Ahri. Thinking about Ahri's character design, she didn't quite understand why Jiang Che would recommend this one.

"Is it because I have some kind of charm?" she said, deliberately winking at Jiang Che. Jiang Che looked at Sunny's intentional wink, his lips twitched, and he forcibly suppressed a laugh, half-seriously spouting nonsense:

"Yes, yes, it's just like you said, you are the legendary succubus who accidentally fell to earth!"

Sunny had initially thought Jiang Che was genuinely captivated by her "charm," but his expression seemed strange no matter how she looked at it. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
"Hey, Jiang Che, why does that sound so perfunctory?"

Just then, Taeyeon, who had been quietly searching on her phone, suddenly burst into laughter, her shoulders shaking like a leaf.

She suppressed a laugh as she turned her phone screen towards Sunny:

“Well… I think… I might know why he mentioned Ahri… Hahahaha…”

Sunny took the phone with a puzzled look, then glanced down at it—

The screen prominently displayed a classic splash art of Ahri, the Nine-Tailed Fox from League of Legends—Ahri in the painting was alluring and seductive, with captivating eyes, but that wasn't the point!

What truly catches the eye is the incredibly impressive bust line outlined by her low-cut dress, creating a strong visual impact that almost bursts out of the screen!
Sunny's face flushed red instantly. She abruptly raised her head, both ashamed and angry, and grabbed the napkin box beside her, throwing it at Jiang Che.

"Hey! Jiang Che! You pervert! What are you thinking about all day long?!"

Yoona, who was standing next to Sunny, was startled by Sunny's sudden outburst and curiously leaned over to take a look at the phone screen.

She only glanced at him, but her doe-like eyes widened instantly, and she immediately turned to Jiang Che, launching into a accusatory mode:

"Hey! Jiang Che! You...you're going too far!" As he spoke, he grabbed a chopstick and pretended to hit him.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Che felt wronged and quickly explained:

"No... I... I was just giving an objective evaluation! Is it wrong to be truthful?! She was the one who first told Taeyeon to lie down and compare heights! Is it a case of double standards? And what part of the story haven't I seen?"

His explanation only made things worse. Hearing this, and remembering how she had foolishly winked at Jiang Che just moments before, Sunny felt an overwhelming sense of shame and completely exploded.

"Hey! How can that be the same?! I haven't even mentioned height yet and you've already started talking about Ahri, your thinking was already off from the beginning! And what are you looking at! Kim Tae-yeon! Im Yoon-a! Hold him down!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Jiang Che glanced at the dishes on the table, worried that the two women might bump into something, and quickly slid away from the table, retreating towards the relatively open sofa area:

"Hey! Calm down! A gentleman uses words, not fists!"

“We’re not gentlemen to begin with!” Sunny chased after them aggressively.

Yoona followed, taking two cushions from the sofa. Not only did she take them for herself, but she also kindly handed one to Sunny.

"Unnie, here's a weapon. Use this; it won't hurt, but it'll make you feel better!"

Sunny took the cushion:

"Jiang Che, today I'm going to teach you a lesson about what it means to have trouble coming from your mouth!"

Seeing this, Jiang Che knew he couldn't fight against so many opponents. Knowing better than to fight a losing battle, he decisively threw himself face-first onto the sofa, desperately protecting the back of his head with his hands, exposing his broad back to his enemies, and began to cry for help:
"Taeyeon! Come help me pull this up! I'm at least avenging you for lying on the ground!"

Taeyeon, watching the chaotic scene unfold, laughed until tears streamed down her face. Hearing Kang Cheol's cry for help, she quickly came over:

"Stop! Stop it! Don't fight anymore..."

When Jiang Che heard this, he felt like he'd heard it somewhere before, but before he could think about it, he felt like he'd been spanked.

"Who's such a pervert, spanking me?! Taeyeon, is that you?! Whose side are you on?!"

When Sunny and Yoona saw Taeyeon join in, they started fighting even more enthusiastically.
"Let me show you!"

"It'll make your thinking unhealthy!"

"Let you talk nonsense!"

After a while of commotion, all three of them were a little out of breath, and the pillow fight finally came to an end.

Sunny threw down the cushion and plopped down next to Jiang Che. She was a little tired, but she felt that she had vented her anger and embarrassment. Instead, she felt refreshed and even discovered a new way to use Jiang Che.

After catching her breath, she excitedly took out her phone:
"No, I need to check how much it costs to configure a computer that can smoothly stream games..."

She then started searching seriously, completely entering the mode of an internet-addicted girl.

Taeyeon smiled as she tidied her hair, which she had messed up while playing around. She glanced at Kang Cheol, who lay exhausted on the sofa, and Sunny, who was enthusiastically studying computer specifications.

The smile on her lips never faded, making her want to come and stay at Yoona's house permanently.

After venting her frustrations, Yoona sat down next to Sunny, slightly out of breath. She glanced at Kang Cheol, who was lying on the sofa pretending to be dead.
Although I still think this guy is outspoken and deserves a beating, and is a complete troublemaker, I have to admit that life is really interesting when he's around, and it feels like I'll never be bored.

Jiang Che slowly got up from the sofa and muttered to himself:
"Indeed, women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Sunny and Yoona glared at each other at the same time.

"It's nothing! I said you guys played well, played brilliantly, played superbly..." Jiang Che immediately backed down and decisively changed the subject:

"So, Sunny, let's get this livestreaming project underway?"

"Go for it!" Sunny was immediately swayed:
"Once I'm fully equipped, I'll show you guys a diamond-level weapon!"

Seeing the burning fighting spirit in Sunny's eyes, Jiang Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

'Yes, the plan works. Now there's only one problem.'

Thinking of this, a standard businessman's smile appeared on his face:

"Sunny, look, I've given you such a great idea, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Yoona, who was listening nearby, rolled her eyes. This guy really never stops talking about his business and is always looking to make money.

Sunny glanced at Jiang Che, a little worried that he was all show and no substance. Her eyes darted around, and an idea came to her:

"Show me? Of course! But let me see your skills first! Come on, let's play a game and see if you're just bragging!"

Without saying a word, she grabbed Jiang Che's arm and dragged him into Lin Yoona's study. Taeyeon and Yoona followed curiously, wanting to see what tricks Jiang Che would pull.

Jiang Che was pressed into a chair in front of the computer in the study by Sunny, watching her skillfully turn on the computer and open the League of Legends client to start downloading the game.

After the download was complete, Sunny leaned over and entered her account and password. When the game ID appeared on the login screen, she froze for two seconds, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Sunny is the sky...? Sunny, I didn't realize you were so...so narcissistic? This name... Pfft, haha, it's just awful!"

Lim Yoona, who was standing next to her, was also seeing this ID for the first time. She leaned over to take a look and burst out laughing instantly.

"Wow! Unnie! Your ID... Haha... Sunny unnie is amazing! Haha!"

Taeyeon also came over for a look, then laughed so hard she bent over, adding insult to injury as she laughed:

"Aigoo, Sunny, I remember you used to be called Sunny Audrey, didn't you? When did you secretly change it to this? Sunny means 'sky'? Why don't you just go to heaven? Hahaha..."

When Jiang Che and Yoona heard the ID "Sunny Audrey," they laughed even louder.

Sunny blushed crimson from the three's laughter, and, embarrassed and angry, slapped Jiang Che on the back.
"Hey! Don't laugh! This name is so powerful! It represents confidence! Do you understand confidence?...Alright, alright, if you're embarrassed, change it yourself! Hurry up!"

Jiang Che suppressed a laugh, thought for a moment, and typed four letters in the name change card input box: YYDS.

"What the heck is this? What does it mean?" Sunny looked at the new ID, completely bewildered.

Jiang Che smiled mysteriously:

"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. I'll tell you when I reach a high rank and become a top player in the solo queue. Then you'll understand the ultimate meaning of this ID."

Sunny was skeptical, but seeing Jiang Che's inscrutable expression, she reluctantly accepted the somewhat cool-sounding abbreviation.

I entered the queue and was quickly matched.

During the hero selection phase, Jiang Che glanced at the hero list and precisely clicked on a portrait—Teemo, the Swift Scout.

"What? Jiang Che, you actually picked Teemo?" Sunny exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't this champion generally considered weak... uh, cute?"
