99: Chapter 98 Xiaoyu is the one!

Things couldn't go on like this! Jiang Zhiyu's eyes hardened as he decided to take a risky gamble.

He stopped aiming for the perfect headshot and instead lowered the water cannon's target point slightly, aiming right at the center of Im Yoona's chest—a larger area that was harder to dodge! At the same time, he exerted sudden force with his legs, abandoning his defensive position and beginning a clunky but determined advance toward Im Yoona! He wanted to close the distance and use the pressure of a "water cannon to the face" to force Im Yoona into making a bigger mistake!

“Oh?! Consultant Jiang has changed his strategy! He's sacrificing some precision for hit rate and pressure! Is he going for a close-quarters water cannon battle? How will Player Yoona respond? Can the 'Full-Body Counter Style' withstand the frontal pressure?” Sunny's commentary instantly became high-pitched.

Im Yoona's eyes narrowed as she saw Jiang Zhiyu rumbling toward her like a human water tower, the trajectory of his water cannon becoming unpredictable because he was firing while moving. She stopped obsessing over full-body coverage; her water arrows began to focus more on the shoulder joints of Jiang Zhiyu's gun-holding arms and his head's observation window (his face), attempting to interfere with his aim and vision. Simultaneously, she began to move in nimble circles, utilizing her relatively lighter (?) equipment and agility to avoid being cornered by Jiang Zhiyu.

One advanced like a heavy tank firing shells, while the other moved like light cavalry harassing with skirmishes; the battle entered an even more intense and white-hot stage! Splashes, shouts, and loud laughter echoed throughout the recording set.

Whose water would run out first? Whose tactics would be more effective? Could Jiang Zhiyu achieve his long-held wish of a "headshot stun"? And to what extent could Im Yoona utilize her "Soaked Debuff"?

In this ultimate duel between "Blastoises," the scales of victory swayed violently amidst the curtain of water filling the air!

Jiang Zhiyu was like a pressurized water tower, carrying the thick water cannon barrels as he pressed toward Im Yoona with heavy but closing steps. His "High-Pressure Water Cannon" no longer sought extreme headshot precision, turning instead to blast Im Yoona's torso and movement path, intending to use the wider coverage of the water waves to limit her dodging space and compress her range of activity.

The water cannons roared as water columns exploded on the ground and in the air, splashing up massive curtains of water. The humidity of the entire venue rose sharply, creating a misty haze.

However, what Im Yoona displayed at this moment was not just agility, but a truly athletic prowess!

She seemed to transform into a swimming fish or the most nimble deer in the forest. Despite carrying the "Tactical Turtle Shell" and dual water guns, her movements weren't hindered by the expected clumsiness at all. On the contrary, she incorporated the weight and volume of the shell into her dynamic balance.

Side-step slide! A water cannon blast grazed the edge of her shell; she used the momentum to spin half a turn, shedding the impact while her shoulder water guns fired two rapid bursts, accurately hitting the side of Jiang Zhiyu's advancing right knee.

Back-jump into a roll! Anticipating the water cannon Jiang Zhiyu fired at the ground behind her to block her retreat, she actually took a small step back and followed it with a graceful forward roll. Not only did she dodge the splashes on the ground, but she also instantly closed the distance slightly, sliding under the blind spot of Jiang Zhiyu's water cannon to fire a string of water arrows directly at the joints of his cannon barrels and his waist!

Z-shaped dash! Taking advantage of the brief gap while Jiang Zhiyu was recharging after a shot, she stopped retreating and instead lowered her center of gravity, suddenly lunging forward two or three meters in a dazzling Z-shaped path! Jiang Zhiyu hurriedly turned his cannons, but the water blasts could only chase the afterimages and water stains behind her.

“Oh my god! Yoona Unnie's movements... she can do that while wearing a turtle shell?!” Minjeong watched, dumbfounded.

“That core strength... that sense of balance... it's incredible!” As the main dancer, Kim Hyoyeon was the most impressed.

“Producer Jiang seems to be... unable to keep up with Yoona's rhythm?” Choi Sooyoung saw the problem. “Yoona is too flexible. Producer Jiang's water cannons can't hit her vitals, and instead, he's being constantly 'chipped away' by Yoona.”

“And Yoona Unnie seems to have been saving water. Look at her water guns; the indicator lights are still very stable,” NingNing observed meticulously.

Just as NingNing said, Im Yoona was not only physically agile but also extremely clear in her tactical execution. She no longer sprayed water over large areas; every string of water arrows aimed to hit Jiang Zhiyu's joints, aiming hand, or the gaps in his shell to maximize the interference effect with high water efficiency. Her "Soaked Debuff" tactic was slowly taking effect through this precise and continuous "chipping away"—Jiang Zhiyu's movements were starting to become sluggish due to his soaked clothes and the constant impacts, and his aim was becoming harder to stabilize under the frequent interference.

“Huff... huff...” Jiang Zhiyu's heavy breathing could be heard faintly through his soaked face mask and heavy shell. He felt frustration building up. Im Yoona was like a slippery loach; his heavy cannons missed time and again, while his own "ammunition" was being consumed at high speed.

What made his heart tighten even more was that out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous indicator light on his right shoulder gun. It had changed from the previous blue to a blinking yellow—this was the "water level below 30%" warning set by the production team!

“Damn it!” he cursed inwardly. His "Headshot Style" required high water pressure and consumed a huge amount of water. Meanwhile, Im Yoona's "Rapid Water Arrow Fire" was already water-efficient, and combined with her superb dodging and precise, water-saving shots, the gap was widening!

At that moment, Im Yoona also seemed to sense Jiang Zhiyu's urgency and the slight disruption in his rhythm. A sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly changed her movement pattern. No longer just skirmishing, she began to consciously guide Jiang Zhiyu's positioning, forcing him toward a slightly slippery corner at the edge of the field.

Eager to get a result before his "ammunition" ran out, Jiang Zhiyu fired a shot at Im Yoona's predicted landing spot, only for her to dodge it again with a nimble right-angle turn. The water cannon hit the slippery ground, splashing water everywhere and making that area even muddier.

“Consultant Jiang seems a bit rushed! Is it a water level warning?” Sunny's commentary rang out at the right time, sounding a bit mischievous.

Jiang Zhiyu gritted his teeth and aimed again. Im Yoona, however, suddenly stopped in her tracks at the edge of that slippery area, giving him a provocative smile and even beckoning him with her finger.

“Provocation! This is a blatant provocation!” Sunny shouted.

Anger and urgency drove Jiang Zhiyu's decision. He no longer held back, concentrating his remaining water and aiming at Im Yoona's currently static figure to launch a final wave—and what he believed to be his most promising—"Headshot Combo"!

“Boom! Boom!” Two consecutive high-pressure water cannon blasts almost sealed off Im Yoona's space to dodge left or right, heading straight for her head!

In the nick of time!

Im Yoona moved! She didn't dodge left or right but instead performed a move that made everyone gasp—she suddenly leaned back, her body almost parallel to the ground, letting the two water cannon blasts cross over her by a hair's breadth! At the same time, relying on her incredible core strength, she adjusted the angle of her shoulder water guns while falling. “Ssh-ssh-ssh-ssh—!” Four water arrows shot upward in a fan shape, targeting Jiang Zhiyu's face and helmet observation window, which were completely exposed as he leaned forward during his full-power spray!

“Splat splat splat splat!” The water arrows hit their mark! Caught off guard by this sudden "face wash" from below, Jiang Zhiyu instinctively closed his eyes and jerked back, stumbling and stepping onto the slippery water patch he had created behind him!

“Oh no!” Alarm bells rang in his mind as he tried desperately to regain his balance.

But it was too late! After completing her leaning shot, Im Yoona followed through with a nimble backroll, not only quickly creating distance to stand up again but also completely exiting the effective range of Jiang Zhiyu's final water cannon blast.

And Jiang Zhiyu, on the slippery ground, carrying the heavy turtle shell, struggled to adjust his center of gravity...

“Beep beep—!”

A piercing electronic alarm sounded from the water gun on his shoulder! That indicator light had changed from a blinking yellow to a glaring red, and it was no longer blinking, but solid!

Red! Water depleted!

Jiang Zhiyu's movements instantly froze. The water gun barrel on his shoulder gave one final, weak “pfft,” spraying a tiny trickle of water before going completely silent. Only droplets remained, dripping from the muzzle.

There was a moment of silence across the entire set.

Then, Sunny's excited (and exaggerated) voice broke the silence:

“He's out of water! Player Jiang Zhiyu! Tactical Armor 'Blastoise Mode'—ammunition depleted! Repeat, ammunition depleted! He is now just a... uh, Squirtle carrying an empty shell!!”

“Whoa—!!!” Gasps, laughter, and applause erupted instantly!

“He really ran out of water!”

“Yoona Unnie calculated it so perfectly!”

“That leaning shot was so cool! I can't believe she could still counter-attack!”

“So now it's... a one-sided 'massacre' by Yoona Unnie?”

Jiang Zhiyu stood where he was, soaked to the bone, water dripping constantly from his hair and the edges of his shell. He looked at Im Yoona across from him. Although she was also quite a mess and soaked in many places, the water guns on her shoulders still blinked with the blue light representing "sufficient ammunition," and her face wore a brilliant smile of impending victory. A complex mix of helplessness, annoyance, and a feeling of "I knew it" welled up in his heart.

He was out of ammunition and supplies.

She was ready and waiting.

Im Yoona lightly flicked her wrists, adjusted the angle of her water guns, and looked at Jiang Zhiyu at her leisure. The smile on her face grew even sweeter, and her voice carried through the damp air, clear and cheerful:

“Producer Jiang~ It seems your 'Headshot Style' has... sputtered out?”

She raised her water guns, the muzzles pointing steadily at the defenseless Jiang Zhiyu.

“Now, it's time for my 'Full-Body Counter Style'... oh no, it's the 'Finishing Stream,' to help you cool down, okay?”

Jiang Zhiyu: “...”

He knew that his long, wet, "scented," and "dizzying" day was likely far from over. And the pair of water guns in Im Yoona's hands, still at full capacity, were silently declaring: the moment of revenge has only just truly begun.

“Ssh-ssh-ssh—!!!!”

The moment Im Yoona finished speaking, the water guns on her shoulders erupted with a barrage more ferocious than any before! It was no longer precise, interfering bursts, but a literal "water gun baptism"! Two thick columns of water poured down like waterfalls, aimed straight at Jiang Zhiyu, who had lost his "armament" and could only passively take the beating!

“Pfft-ah!” Jiang Zhiyu had nowhere to hide. The thick Tactical Turtle Shell had now become a perfect "water basin." The ice-cold water poured over him, instantly soaking him from head to toe. Water splashed on his face, poured into his collar, and ran down his tracksuit. He could only awkwardly raise his hands to try and shield himself, but it was completely useless.

“Hahaha! Yoona is at full firepower!”

“Producer Jiang is so pitiful! But it's so funny!”

“Is this the fate of running out of ammunition?”

The Girls Generation side was a mess of laughter, feeling both sympathy (a little bit) and finding the scene incredibly hilarious.

Meanwhile, the four members of aespa, who had just been marveling at Im Yoona's athletic prowess, now felt an unprecedented sense of crisis!

Because Jiang Zhiyu, who was receiving his "baptism," suddenly turned his gaze toward the "safety zone" where they were located after being dazed by the water columns and stumbling back a few steps!

His face was dripping, his hair was plastered to his forehead, but his eyes showed a desperation and madness that said "if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me" and "I can't be the only one soaked"! He opened his mouth as if to say something, but choked on some water and could only make muffled sounds. At the same time, he stumbled forward, carrying his heavy, dripping shell like a water monster emerging from the depths, and "charged" toward aespa!

“He... help...” He reached out his hand, his target seemingly the aespa girls nearest to him, who were also wearing turtle shell vests, as if he wanted to grab a lifeline or... drag them into the water too!

“Aaaahhhh—!!!”

Almost simultaneously, the four members of aespa let out a burst of terrified screams!

“Oppa, don't come over here!!!” NingNing was so scared her Chinese came out. She was the first to turn and run; her one-piece turtle shell vest looked particularly clumsy now, making her run like a startled penguin, but her speed wasn't slow at all.

“Don't come here! There's no room here!” Winter's face went pale with fright as she scrambled to hide behind a camera, nearly tripping over a cable.

The leader, Karina, managed to maintain a bit of composure, but she was also shouting while retreating: “Producer Jiang! Calm down! That's the audience seating!” She tried to stop him with words, but her feet honestly moved her quickly in a direction perpendicular to Jiang Zhiyu's path.

Even the usually quiet Eri couldn't hold it together anymore. A crack finally appeared on her expressionless face. She didn't say anything, but silently and swiftly... crouched down, trying to use the turtle shells of her teammates in front of her as cover, even though that cover was also moving.

It was truly a case of every man for himself in the face of disaster!

The four members of aespa scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in different directions, leaving behind only panicked screams and the sight of their turtle shells wobbling hilariously as they ran. Seeing this, the Girls Generation seniors laughed even louder. Kwon Yuri even slapped her thigh and shouted, “The kids are running pretty fast!”

Jiang Zhiyu lunged but missed. Due to the slippery ground and the momentum of the shell, he couldn't stop himself, and combined with the fact that he was already off-balance from being blasted by Im Yoona's water...

“Thud!”

A muffled sound.

He fell flat on his face onto the wet ground. The heavy "Blastoise" shell on his back made the fall look particularly heavy, splashing water everywhere. He struggled a bit, but because of the obstruction of the shell and the slippery ground, he couldn't get up immediately for a moment, looking exactly like a... turtle that couldn't flip over.

“Pfft—!!!” The loudest laughter of the day erupted from the entire set, nearly blowing the roof off. Even the staff were doubled over with laughter, causing the cameras to shake violently.

“A flipped turtle! A flipped turtle!”

“Producer Jiang! Do you need help?”

“The ultimate weakness of Squirtle (Blastoise)—being flipped over!”

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

Amidst this hilarious chaos, a light figure stepped over the water stains and walked unhurriedly to the side of the fallen Jiang Zhiyu.

It was Im Yoona.

The water gun on her shoulder had stopped firing (it seemed her "ammunition" had just run out, or perhaps she felt it was enough). Her face was flushed from the exercise, with a few strands of wet hair clinging to her cheeks; far from looking disheveled, she radiated a unique vitality.

And her smile at this moment was brighter than at any time before, her eyes shining astonishingly, curved like crescent moons, yet they made the lying-on-the-ground Jiang Zhiyu feel an inexplicable... chill.

Im Yoona gently raised a foot, her athletic sock-clad toe, with a hint of mischief, lightly stepping onto Jiang Zhiyu's overturned Squirtle shell—or to be precise, the edge of the shell near his chest. She didn't use force, merely "occupying" the spot symbolically.

Then, she leaned down slightly, looking down at Jiang Zhiyu, who was pressing his cheek against the ground while struggling to flip over and could only look at her askance, and spoke with a smile in her signature bright, slightly sweet, and drawn-out tone:

"Producer Jiang Zhi Yu—min~~~"

The tail of her voice rose, filled with the joy of "avenging a great grudge" and a hint of dangerous playfulness.

"It seems that today's 'squirtle water gun battle'..." She tilted her head, her smile becoming increasingly "nuclear-friendly," "Has our 'Technical Consultant' experienced it 'deeply' enough? Do you need... me to help you 'review' the recipe for the 'Energy Fruit and Vegetable Juice' again?"

Her toes tapped lightly on the shell.

Jiang Zhiyu: "..."

At this moment, with his face pressed against the cold and slippery floor, a heavy empty shell on his back, his chest being (symbolically) stepped on, drenched, and the lingering taste of that bizarre fruit and vegetable juice still in his mouth... listening to Im Yoona's "gentle" greeting, he just wanted to bury his face in the ground or pass out directly.

All around, there was the undisguised laughter of Girls Generation and aespa (who had cautiously gathered back), as well as the smiling summary from Boss Sunny coming through the loudspeaker:

"Let us give the warmest... applause and laughter to Consultant Jiang Zhiyu, who 'sacrificed' the most and contributed the most iconic moments today! At the same time, congratulations to team member Im Yoona for successfully completing the perfect 'sanction' against the 'evil (?) Producer Jiang Zhi Yu'! It seems today's 'Fight, ae! Special Episode — squirtle water gun battle' has come to a perfect conclusion!"

"However..." Boss Sunny changed the subject, her eyes behind her sunglasses sweeping across the crowd, "I seem to remember that the loser still has a promise to 'unconditionally obey the winner's commands' to fulfill? Yoona, you are now the 'double champion' (High score in the first round + winner of the internal duel), have you thought about how to 'use' your trophy?"

Everyone's gaze focused once again on that "overturned turtle" and the "goddess of victory" stepping on him.

Jiang Zhiyu's heart skipped a beat.

It's over, the big one (trouble) is coming.

Boss Sunny's words were like a final verdict, causing the already noisy scene to fall silent for a moment, before erupting into even more enthusiastic jeering.

"Oh oh oh! Trophy time!"

"Yoona! Have you thought about how to 'use' Producer Jiang Zhi Yu?"

"It wouldn't be drinking another glass of 'Energy Fruit and Vegetable Juice', would it?"

The four members of aespa had also recovered, and although they were still feeling lingering fear, they were now watching the show with curiosity from (a safe distance).

Im Yoona maintained the pose of stepping on the edge of Jiang Zhiyu's shell. Hearing Boss Sunny's words, the smile on her face didn't change in the slightest, instead becoming even more dazzling, and her eyes flashed with a kind of joyful light of "having absolute power." She lifted her chin slightly and said in a tone that was a bit queenly (but mixed with the temperament of a mischievous elf):

"Nae~ Boss Sunny is right to remind me." Her gaze fell back onto the face of Jiang Zhiyu, who was trying to play dead (or ponder life), her voice crisp and carrying an unquestionable meaning, "As the double winner of today's 'internal duel' and 'tactical crushing,' according to the sacred (?) laws of Squirtle Planet, I possess unlimited control over the loser, Producer Jiang Zhi Yu!"

She deliberately bit the words "unlimited control" heavily and clearly, eliciting a round of louder laughter and whistles.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyu's body stiffened almost imperceptibly. He knew it! This woman would absolutely not let him go easily! Countless possibilities of "humiliation" flashed through his mind in an instant: singing "Gee" in public, dancing to "I Got a Boy" while wearing the shell, going to the convenience store downstairs to buy sanitary pads... Each one made his vision go dark.

However, Im Yoona's next words exceeded everyone's expectations.

She did not make any specific, torturous demands. Instead, she leaned down slightly, bringing her face closer to Jiang Zhiyu's side profile pressed against the ground, and then asked with a smile in a tone that was almost innocently curious, yet filled with endless teasing:

"Producer Jiang Zhi Yu-min~ Before exercising my first command of 'unlimited power,' I want to ask you a question first."

She paused, ensuring everyone could hear clearly, and said, word for word:

"Do you think—"

"Is Im Yoona pretty?"

"..." The whole place went silent instantly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized—it was here! The Yoona-style, "gentle knife" that cuts people, "revenge"!

This question seemed simple, even like a giveaway. But in this context, asked by Im Yoona who had just "cruelly" crushed Jiang Zhiyu, combined with her posture as a winner—stepping on his "chest," drenched yet radiant—the sense of oppression and teasing was off the charts!

Jiang Zhiyu was also dumbfounded. He had anticipated countless types of difficulties, but he never expected this one! This woman... doesn't play by the rules!

Im Yoona seemed very satisfied with his momentary daze. She extended two fingers, waved them in front of Jiang Zhiyu, and continued:

"Please choose one from the following two options, and give your reason~"

"Option one: Very pretty."

"Option two: Super pretty."

After she finished, she even blinked, her expression incomparably "sincere," as if she were truly waiting for a serious aesthetic evaluation.

"Pfft hahahaha!!!"

"Is there any difference between the two options?!"

"Yoona, is this a giveaway question or a death-trap question?"

"Producer Jiang Zhi Yu, answer quickly! We're waiting!"

The explosive laughter on the scene was almost about to blow through the studio. The members of Girls Generation were laughing until they were bent over, and the girls of aespa were covering their mouths, their shoulders shaking. Boss Sunny was laughing so hard that her sunglasses were crooked, and the hand holding the loudspeaker was shaking.

Jiang Zhiyu lay on the ground, his face against the cold floor, feeling the "weight" of that foot on the shell on his chest, listening to the deafening laughter and jeering around him, and Im Yoona's "nuclear-friendly" gaze... He knew he had to answer, and no matter how he answered, he was destined to become a new laughingstock.

But who was Jiang Zhiyu? He was the "genius" Producer who could write hit scripts in a basement, negotiate with TVN executives, and come up with projects like "Golden Toilet" and "Squirtle Battle"! After experiencing a series of "tribulations" such as fruit and vegetable juice, hell mode, water cannon duels, running out of ammo, and being an overturned turtle, his thick-skinned nature and psychological endurance were no longer what they used to be!

He took a deep breath (inhaling a bit of water vapor from the floor, choking slightly), tried hard to turn his head to lift his mouth off the ground, and then, in a voice that was a bit muffled but exceptionally clear, and even carried a bit of "what the hell, just go for it" boldness, answered loudly:

"Pretty! Of course pretty!" He first set the tone, then, amidst the crowd's expectant gazes waiting for him to choose "very" or "super," he abruptly changed the subject and added in a tone that was almost like an "official certification":

"The degree of prettiness of our Yoona xi has been—" He deliberately drew out his tone, keeping everyone in suspense.

"—"Completely Gwanghwamun City Wall Certified"!"

As he said this, he also tried to lift his hand that wasn't being pressed down, making a thumbs-up gesture, but because the posture was awkward, this thumbs-up looked a bit comical, yet exceptionally firm.

"Com... Completely Gwanghwamun City Wall Certified??" Kwon Yuri repeated it, not understanding.

"Gwanghwamun? That Gwanghwamun in Seoul?" Choi Sooyoung was puzzled.

"City Wall Certified? What does that mean?" Kim Taeyeon also looked at her sisters.

The smile on Im Yoona's face also paused; she clearly didn't get the joke immediately.

Jiang Zhiyu lay on the ground, unable to see everyone's expressions, but he could feel the subtle change in the atmosphere. He sneered internally and continued to "explain" in that tone of "stating objective facts":

"That's right! Gwanghwamun, an important historical site of our Republic of Korea, that city wall, everyone knows it, right?"

"Solid! Heavy! Sturdy! It has weathered the storms and stands immovable!"

"Our Yoona xi's beauty is just like that Gwanghwamun city wall—"

He deliberately paused again, then said the second half with impact:

"Deeply rooted! Unshakable! And—can withstand any storm (like water cannons)! This certification is of high value!"

He said it with a straight face, as if he were truly issuing some national-level aesthetic certification.

The scene went silent for two seconds.

Then, not knowing who was the first to react—

"Pfft hahahahahaha!!!!!"

"City Wall Certified?!!"

"Hahaha, is he saying Yoona's skin... ah no, is he saying her beauty is as thick as a city wall?!"

"Producer Jiang Zhi Yu!! Are you praising or insulting her!!"

"Gwanghwamun city wall... hahahaha what a genius with metaphors!!"

All the members of Girls Generation were laughing like crazy; Kim Hyoyeon was even laughing and slapping the floor. NingNing and Kim Minjeong of aespa were already hugging each other, laughing until they had tears in their eyes. Boss Sunny could barely hold the loudspeaker, shouting while laughing: "Certified! I approve of this certification! Completely Gwanghwamun City Wall-level beauty! Hahaha!"

And Im Yoona, after her initial astonishment, finally understood the hidden, damn double meaning behind Jiang Zhiyu's "certification"! This guy, on the surface, was praising her beauty as solid and immortal, but in reality, he was clearly mocking her for having thick skin and high defense (being able to withstand his headshot water cannons)! He was even implying that her "ruthless" revenge today was as "solid and heavy" as a city wall!

A faint, imperceptible blush instantly flew across her cheeks (it was unclear whether it was from laughter or anger), but those beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously, and the foot stepping on the shell exerted a little force (though it didn't actually hurt).

"Producer Jiang Zhi Yu—min—" Her voice was drawn out even longer, with higher sweetness, but every word sounded like it was squeezed out from between her teeth, "Your 'City Wall Certification'... you explained it really 'detailedly'."

Jiang Zhiyu lay on the ground, unable to see Im Yoona's expression, but he could clearly feel the temperature of that "nuclear-friendly" gaze above his head drop by another few degrees. He quickly "tried to make amends," saying in an incomparably "sincere" tone:

"Of course detailed! Because this is a heartfelt, highest-level compliment! The tactical wisdom, agile movements, and... *cough cough*, indomitable will that Yoona xi displayed today perfectly match the spiritual core of the 'Gwanghwamun City Wall'! I am sincerely in awe!"

(Internal OS: That's right, just thick-skinned and strong-willed! To be able to pit me like this!)

Im Yoona looked at him lying on the ground, still not forgetting to be "glib" and "insinuate," and truly felt both angry and amused. She withdrew her foot, crossed her arms, and looked down at him:

"It seems that Producer Jiang Zhi Yu's 'compliments' are always so... unique. Well, as the possessor of 'unlimited control,' I have decided—"

She looked around, seeing everyone looking at her expectantly, and then slowly announced:

"Producer Jiang Zhi Yu's 'Completely Gwanghwamun City Wall Certified' answer barely passes the first round. However, the first official command of my 'unlimited power' is—"

"At the end of today's program, please have Producer Jiang Zhi Yu personally write an 'ode' of no less than 500 words, detailing the 'commonality and sublimity of Im Yoona's beauty and the Gwanghwamun City Wall,' and read it out aloud with emotion in front of everyone! Requirements: Must be sincere, no more playing with word games, and must highlight positive cores like 'beautiful, kind, cute'!"

"And, as compensation for your previous attempt at 'biochemical attack' and 'water cannon headshots,' you must—while reading, wear this drenched Squirtle tactical armor and a Squirtle-themed little straw hat!"

"Ah—!!!!" Jiang Zhiyu let out a desperate wail.

"Hahahaha! Yoona, well done!"

"A 500-word ode! And you have to wear the shell and straw hat while reading it!"

"Producer Jiang Zhi Yu, accept your fate! This is the price for provoking 'City Wall-level beauty'!"

The scene was once again submerged in an ocean of joy. And Jiang Zhiyu knew that his long, dripping wet, full of "scent," "dizziness," and now "ode" day was far, far from over.

Im Yoona looked at his expression of having no desire to live, and finally smiled with satisfaction. That smile, set against the lights and the water curtain, was as dazzling as a victorious queen, and carried a few hints of playfulness after a successful prank.

The smoke (water vapor) of the "squirtle water gun battle" gradually dissipated, but the new chapter of the "Jiang-Yoona Grudge Chronicle" had just written its first dripping wet title, carrying the scent of fruit and vegetable juice and the aura of city wall bricks.
