Backpacking on a Budget with a Top-Tier Star: Teaching an Actress to Use an RPG

Jin Nan is a bankrupt veteran who has retired from service and become a penniless black-market tour guide in a war-torn country overseas.

A top-tier domestic variety show, Poor Travelers' Adventure, comes to the area to attract viewers and hires him as a cheap guide.

The pampered young heartthrob thinks he's a loser, the aloof female celebrity thinks he's a materialistic nobody, and viewers across the internet mock him in the comments.

Then, on the very first day of filming, an armed coup erupts! A hundred thousand rebels seal off the city, and the livestream instantly turns into a countdown to death!

Just as the heartthrob is wetting himself and the top-tier star breaks down in tears, Jin Nan awakens the [Hardcore Escort System].

“Ding! Lead tourists on an authentic local experience. Reward: heavy machine gun proficiency and two crates of high-explosive grenades!”

Jin Nan sighs and pulls an AK out from under his battered minivan. “The tour fee just went up! I can't do this job otherwise!”

From that point on, the livestream goes completely off the rails.

Other guides take their groups shopping for souvenirs. Jin Nan leads celebrities in raiding an arms depot.

Other guides teach haggling. Jin Nan personally shows the top-tier star how to use an RPG to blow up an armored vehicle!

Viewers watch as Jin Nan clears out an entire company with one hand on his gun, then makes the rebel leader take photos with every terrified celebrity…

The whole internet is stunned: “You were supposed to take celebrities on a budget trip! How the hell did you end up conquering a country and founding the world's number-one mercenary group?!”
