Gwangju Pier was nearing noon, and the sunlight was scorching hot.
"Who knows what the next event will be?"
Li Yintong hooked her collar with her right index finger, fanning it non-stop, hoping to funnel in some breeze.
"Who cares what it is? Let the water come and we’ll build a dike, let the soldiers come and we’ll block them. As long as God Lin is here, victory is certain!"
Quan Sangin was not brown-nosing, but sincerely praising.
Looking around at the contestants, most of them were listless, with lifeless eyes. Considering anyone who had run a marathon and then vomited and suffered diarrhea, it made sense they couldn’t hold up without a few days’ rest.
Quan Sangin counted and found only about ten people unaffected.
Amongst them, almost half belonged to Lin Baici’s team. The rest simply had the good luck of choosing vegetable juice.
"Why did the organizers tell us to come too?"
Hua Yue Yu couldn’t understand it.
She and Gu Qingqiu hadn’t finished their jjajangmyeon, hadn’t run the marathon, and according to the rules, were already eliminated.
"Could it be to serve as a cheering squad?"
"I’m guessing there’s a revival round!"
Gu Qingqiu’s expression remained calm.
Hua Yue Yu was startled, then became happy, "That’s good!"
Being able to keep competing in the big challenge with Xiao Bai, that was fantastic!
"I think you should leave."
Lin Baici was worried that if a god from Busan appeared in Gwangju, the risk of death in this big challenge would definitely be extremely high.
"I know what you’re worried about!"
Gu Qingqiu was fearless.
With a loud honk of the horn, a luxurious cruise ship steered into the port.
It docked, and the gangway was lowered.
Some staff members wearing yellow vests appeared.
"Please line up and board the cruise ship in order!"
"The organizers have arranged a buffet in the third floor restaurant!"
The staff members shouted through megaphones.
Lin Baici and her group stepped up the gangway onto the deck, where a woman in a red vest, with a work badge on her chest, handed out nameplates about a thumb’s width to everyone.
"This is your number plate, please wear it on your left chest!"
The buffet was sumptuous, with not only common Chinese and Western dishes but also various kinds of mush that looked like they were from Indian cuisine.
Never mind the taste, just the mushy texture alone instantly triggered everyone’s horrible memories from the day before. It was a good thing no one vomited on the spot.
After the meal, just as everyone was about to go to the deck for some fresh air, the cruise ship’s announcement came on.
"We have arrived at the artificial island. Please, all contestants, disembark quickly!"
It was another bout of hustle.
Half an hour later, all the contestants stood on the beach of the artificial island.
The azure sea water washed over the beach, leaving behind winding moist trails, and in front of everyone stretched a vast coconut grove.
"Hello everyone, I’m Jin Yinai. My four sisters and I will be hosting the second round of the big challenge, ’Island of Terror’!"
"Please take good care of us!"
Jin Yinai, wearing a high-cut bikini swimsuit, bowed to everyone with a microphone in hand.
"I’m the second sister, Jin Ermei!"
"I’m the third sister, Jin Sanshun!"
The five sisters introduced themselves, bowing after each one spoke.
"They all look exactly the same? Could they have had plastic surgery?"
"Ever heard of quintuplets?"
"This is Goryeo. At their level of plastic surgery, they can make septuplets for you!"
The contestants murmured among themselves.
The gentlemen couldn’t help eyeing the Jin Yinai sisters.
Their figures were really good, and they dared to dress boldly, truly not considering the others as strangers.
The camera operators didn’t even need to look for shots, every frame was a feast for the viewers.
"Xiba, why is it them?"
Quan Sangin’s scalp tingled; the last thing he wanted was to enjoy himself.
The quintuplets they had encountered in the snack street appeared, and they were monsters capable of rule pollution, which could cause one to explode like an overinflated balloon.
"Could this round involve rule pollution?"
Kim Jinsoo regretted coming. If he had known, he wouldn’t have come.
"All contestants and reserves, please head to the temporary rest area in the coconut grove to change your clothes!"
Jin Yinai gestured with her hand, "Reserves refer to the contestants who were eliminated yesterday!"
Kim Jinsoo was afraid.
Gu Qingqiu was the first to step forward.
After another half hour of scrambling, when everyone met again, they saw each other dressed in swimwear.
"God Lin, you have a great physique!"
Che Zhengshuo eyed Lin Baici appreciatively, lifting his left hand instinctively to tuck into his pocket before realizing, after a few attempts, that there was no pocket and he was wearing a swimsuit.
"And those abs are too pretty, right?"
Han Suying was astonished.
The Lady Boss had a voluptuous figure, and even a standard swimsuit exuded a ripe and luscious charm.
Kim Myungjin, with her tall frame and long legs, lacked the attraction of Xia Hongyao without her stockings; just bare legs didn’t have the same appeal, hence nearly all the contestants ogled Xia Hongyao.
Xiong Da was simply unbeatable.
Gu Qingqiu wore a floral one-piece swimsuit, unexpectedly filling it out quite impressively. Hua Yue Yu knew she couldn’t compete with Kim Myungjin and Xia Hongyao, so she opted for a swimsuit that emphasized cuteness over sexiness.
Lin Baici wore plain swim trunks, while Che Zhengshuo and Quan Sangin were more flamboyant, all in briefs.
"I’ll take you to play in the water later!"
Yi Jisheng, not wanting to expose his body, had chosen a diving suit and even dressed his ’girlfriend’ in a swimsuit.
"Follow me, everyone!" Newest update provided by novᴇlfire.net
Jin Yinai led the way from the front.
The youngest sister, Jin Wuyue, drove a beach buggy back and forth, yelling as she went, with the large tires kicking up plenty of sand.
