Jiang Ye landed more steadily than she had expected.

She unbuckled her parachute and then gave a thumbs-up to the camera waiting on the ground.

"Challenge successful!"

"Actually, it was better than I thought, exciting and comfortable!"

Jiang Ye said, rubbing her face, which was a little sore from the wind, and then she continued, "If you guys like it, you can try it too!"

After Jiang Ye finished her speech, she sat on the lawn and waited for her teammates to come over.

She had guessed that the second person to jump would be Cheng Zhen or Lin Zui.

But she never expected that it would be Tan Meng.

Jiang Ye: "?"

Was it a case of the early bird gets the worm?

Tan Meng chose to jump second because she didn't want to lose to Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye hadn't jumped before either, but she seemed very calm.

Why was she afraid!

Not afraid!

If Jiang Ye could do it, she could do it too!

However, the moment she was thrown out of the plane, Tan Meng was so scared that she screamed, cried, and yelled for her mom, saying she wanted to go home.

She knew that as an idol, she should pay attention to her expression management, but Tan Meng couldn't care about that at that moment, she just wanted to end this nightmare quickly.

When Tan Meng landed, Jiang Ye went to meet her.

She was completely dazed, and when she saw Jiang Ye, she pouted, as if trying to hold back her tears, but she couldn't help it, she burst into tears.

She cried and sobbed, "I really thought I was going to die..."

If she had another chance, she would definitely choose to opt out immediately, who cares about face!

She would never reconcile with skydiving!

Jiang Ye patted her head like she was comforting a small animal, "But isn't it good when you realize you're still alive?"

"..."

"I'm alive?"

"Am I alive?"

"Maybe, the previous Tan Meng is already gone."

Tan Meng's thoughts were scattered after skydiving, she muttered along with Jiang Ye's words, "Maybe I'm the reborn Tan Meng after skydiving."

She mumbled to herself, not quite in her right mind, "You're right, I feel better. I feel like I'm not afraid of anything anymore, after all, I've already jumped out of a plane, what else am I afraid of..."

Jiang Ye: "..."

She worriedly patted Tan Meng's head.

Could jumping out of a plane really damage your brain?

Tan Meng suddenly looked at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye was startled.

"Jiang Ye."

"You're not afraid of anything because you've also been reborn, right?"

Tan Meng's tone was firm, as if she had discovered the truth of the world, "So, you're definitely not Jiang Ye!"

Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat.

"You are-"

"Niu Colu·Jiang Ye!"

Jiang Ye: "..."

Jiang Ye turned to the cameraman and asked, "Where's the nearest mental hospital?"

Tan Meng took two hours to recover after jumping out of the plane, and the company immediately canceled similar challenges.

So, the subsequent group variety show challenges were more focused on exploration and physical challenges.

But the subsequent challenges were even more chaotic.

For example, the first time they tried camping and picnicking, they accidentally burned their food, and everyone was hungry for a whole night.

Another example was when they went hiking, they sang a relay song to cheer themselves up, but because they used up too much energy singing, they didn't finish the climb from dawn to dusk.

Although the challenges were completed with many bumps along the way.

The comedic effect was directly maximized.

When it came to the final challenge of the group variety show, the manager came to announce the task again.

"This challenge is a little special."

"Unlike the previous ones, this challenge isn't about testing your physical strength or your courage."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Only Jiang Ye felt even worse.

As the finale of the first season of the group variety show, the final challenge should be the most difficult.

If it wasn't a test of courage and physical strength, then its difficulty might be maximized in other areas.

Sure enough, the manager smiled and said, "The final challenge-be an ordinary person!"

"You're going to work as an ordinary person for a day, and you have to earn enough money for dinner that night."

"In other words, how much you earn determines what level of food you'll eat that night."

"And most importantly."

The manager emphasized, "You can't be recognized by fans."

"If you're recognized by fans, it's considered a failed challenge."

The entire 5tars fell silent: "..."

Cheng Zhen was the first to speak up, "This is too hard, right?"

"Let's not even talk about the people."

She pointed at Jiang Ye's face, "Could anyone possibly not recognize Jiang Ye? Even if she goes out in full armor, she can still be recognized by her fans with their eagle eyes!"

Shen Zhiyi nodded and added, "Don't worry about not having fans on the road ahead, everyone in the world knows you."

Jiang Ye: "..."

Jiang Ye took out her phone and immediately started searching for relevant information about disguise techniques.

"..."

"This is something you guys have to figure out."

The manager gave them a clue, "Actually, it's not that hard to not be recognized. After all, you can wear wigs, sunglasses, hats, masks, you can disguise yourselves however you want, there are no restrictions in that area."

Jiang Ye: "..."

Jiang Ye said, "So, we have to wear wigs, sunglasses, masks, and hats, and find a job that only lasts eight hours?"

She held back, she didn't say the next sentence, you're kidding, right?

Lin Zui said directly, "If I were the boss, I definitely wouldn't hire temporary workers like that."

The manager said, "That's also your problem to solve."

Lin Zui: "... Okay."

She immediately started searching for how to use a credit card case.

"..."

The manager quickly added, "You can't use your savings or credit cards."

"I don't want to use my savings."

Lin Zui scrolled through her phone and said, "If credit cards aren't allowed, can we use Huabei (a Chinese online credit service)? I'll pay for people, and they'll give me cash."

She even said, "I can give them a 10% discount, no one would refuse, right?"

Manager: "... No."

She brought the conversation back to the topic, "This challenge is mainly to show your skills outside of your idol identity."

"We want to film what you would do if you weren't idols, but ordinary people, how would you arrange your lives?"

Jiang Ye nodded, "I understand."

"The company wants to give us a preview of our future life as ordinary people after we retire."

She clasped her hands together, her expression sincere, "Thank you for your kindness."

Manager: "..."

Lin Zui raised her hand, "Excuse me."

She said, "Many of us seem to have never lived as ordinary people since we were born."

Manager: "..."

What kind of work attitude is that!

It's just playing around.

5tars was just teasing the manager because they had a good relationship, but they would definitely obediently complete the filming of the group variety show.

So, early in the morning on the day of the recording, the five of them were taken to the city center by a van, they all put on their disguises and started looking for jobs separately.

Jiang Ye looked at herself in the mirror in the storefront window.

She was wearing this outfit to avoid being recognized on a hot day, even she thought she looked like a freak.

Jiang Ye's first choice was to find temporary work.

But the hourly wages for temporary work were too low, and most places didn't hire temporary workers who only worked for one day.

After wandering around for half an hour, she didn't find a job, but Jiang Ye almost got recognized by the girl at the milk tea shop, and she ran away after paying and grabbing her milk tea.

Jiang Ye sat in a deserted corner, drinking milk tea and thinking glumly, maybe she should just use her gaming skills to become a gamer for hire.

As far as she knew, most gamer for hire earned eighty yuan an hour, which was much higher than temporary work.

It's just that she was only starting to take orders today, she might not be able to get orders that easily.

Just as Jiang Ye was thinking about whether she should just take a bowl and beg for food if it didn't work out, her phone rang.

Jiang Ye finished her milk tea and looked at the message.

It was from their 5tars group chat.

【National Level First-Class Silly Girl Group】

【I don't want to practice dancing anymore qaq: Guys, guys, Xiao Meng Meng and I found a job xd】

Cheng Zhen said, sending a location and adding a sentence.

【I don't want to practice dancing anymore qaq: This place has fools with money, come quickly, sisters.】

Jiang Ye guessed Cheng Zhen's skills and quickly replied.

【I'm one: Is there a casino there?】

【I don't want to practice dancing anymore qaq：...】

Jiang Ye followed the map location to the first floor of a shopping mall.

But when she got there, Jiang Ye didn't see Tan Meng or Cheng Zhen.

As she was looking at her phone to make sure she hadn't gone to the wrong place, she was suddenly hugged from behind by a large Cony the Rabbit plush toy.

Jiang Ye: "?!"

Jiang Ye tentatively called, "Cheng Zhen?"

Cheng Zhen said excitedly, "It's me!"

Jiang Ye: "..."

Not far from them stood a Brown Bear.

The Brown Bear was handing out flyers, but he clearly looked reluctant.

Jiang Ye: "..."

A famous girl group idol was actually reduced to handing out flyers.

The scene was too bizarre.

"Stop, stop, stop, let me go, you're too big of a target, people will notice you."

Jiang Ye looked at Cheng Zhen, "Tell me, are you making money by handing out flyers?"

"Yeah, yeah."

"I made a deal with the mall manager, this outfit looks cute, right?"

Cheng Zhen said with a smile, "The manager said that if we work hard, we can earn eighty yuan a day, if we can help him attract customers, he'll give us more commission."

She said, taking off her headwear, she was still afraid of being recognized and didn't take it off completely, "The only downside is that this headwear is a little stuffy, I have to take it off to breathe from time to time."

Jiang Ye: "..."

Jiang Ye: "You might as well go gamble, it's faster to make money."

Jiang Ye turned to Tan Meng, who was the Brown Bear, and asked, "Are you just playing along with her?"

Tan Meng: "... Or do you have a better way to make money?"

Tan Meng thought for a moment and said, "You, you could probably wear sunglasses and pretend to be blind and go fortune-telling on the street, that should be faster than this."

Jiang Ye: "..."

Jiang Ye looked at her with an expression of wasted talent, "You guys are already dressed up, don't you think it's a waste to just hand out flyers?"

Cheng Zhen shook her Cony the Rabbit headwear, "What do you want to do?"

Jiang Ye blinked, "Do you have the same kind of clothes?"

•••

Because it was a weekend, the mall had a lot of foot traffic.

Everyone was walking around, and suddenly they heard the theme song of Chasing Light Girls coming from the first floor of the mall.

Because Chasing Light Girls was a big hit this year.

As soon as the theme song played, the memories in many people's DNA were triggered, and they all rushed to the first floor to watch.

On the central platform on the first floor of the mall.

A red Tinky Winky was dancing to the theme song of Chasing Light Girls.

Although she was wearing a heavy plush costume, her movements were almost impossible to stretch, but she was dancing very seriously.

More and more people gathered around to watch.

"I can't believe I'm seeing Xiao Bo dance in my lifetime!"

"Oh my god, so cute!! Let me take a picture!"

"Hahahahahaha, although her movements are all stiff, but it's surprisingly accurate to the beat! This Tinky Winky seems to have some skills."

"The beat is so satisfying, she must have practiced this dance privately."

The person inside the Tinky Winky costume was Jiang Ye.

In front of the platform where she was dancing, there was a bowl for receiving tips and two payment QR codes.

The Cony the Rabbit and Brown Bear were jumping and waving their signs.

【Welcome to request songs, twenty yuan per song.】

【ps: She can dance anything!】

"Oh my god, Tinky Winky, why are you busking?"

"Tinky Winky has fallen to this point! So sad, so sad."

"Wuwuwu, but so cute!!!"

"Let's give Xiao Bo ten yuan out of courtesy!! Use it to buy baby milkshakes!!"

After receiving the first payment, the Tinky Winky obviously danced more enthusiastically.

Some onlookers couldn't help but start live streams and record videos.

【Watching Tinky Winky dance to "Chasing Light" live!】

Many people clicked on the live stream.

【Oh my god, so cute!!】

【Hahahahahaha, silly but also a little cute.】

【I have to say, she's actually pretty good at dancing.】

【I don't know why, but I feel like her dance style is familiar.】

【I was going to say the same thing!!! It's a little like my daughter, Jiang Ye!!!】

After this comment was posted, it was met with unanimous ridicule in the live stream.

【？？？？】

【Hahahahahaha, like Jiang Ye, hahahahahahahahaha, you're killing me!】

【Hahaha, look at the official blog's schedule for today, Jiang Mei is filming a group variety show, so it's impossible!】

【Yeah, why would a top idol come to the mall to busk, it's twenty yuan per song, she could easily make thousands or tens of thousands of times that amount just from the commission for a random advertisement!】

【The person above, Jiang Ye's mom fan, are you obsessed with your daughter?】
