Rayen was practicing with his team as usual. They had to double their efforts since they didn’t have much ti.
After three days, the second round live performance would take place. Yet, they still have so much todo. Moving on from the MV filming, next, they had to modify their choreography for the stage performance. So, for the sa song, they have two different choreographies.
It was quite disorientating having to morize another one. Oftentis, Rayen would even switch the moves from the two choreographies because of his muscle mory.
The first round was already so hectic, but this round was truly hell.
’Was this really how idols work? Sohow, I pity them...’
If idols really do live like this, how could they manage without magic in their life? Fortunately for Rayen, he could just by a Revitalizing Drink to replenish his energy.
As he thought about that, Rayen gulped down the said drink while wiping his sweat with a face towel.
They were on a small break right now after a continuous dance practice, so Rayen also browsed through his phone after he bought the Revitalizing Drink.
Still, he couldn’t help but gaze at his remaining morial Coins at the corner.
[63,091 MC]
’I should probably cut down my expenses...’
After they splitted among themselves the more than 300,000 MC that remained from their sponsors’ bids, Rayen had gathered a significant amount of 89,091 MC in total.
But for the past six days of their practice, Rayen had acted like a rich kid who just received his weekly allowance. He already spent almost 30,000 MC.
The Dance Fertilizer had costed him 10,000. The Horse Shoe was another 10,000 and everyday, he would buy one Revitalizing Drink.
Realizing just how extravagant he had been living the past few days, Rayen restrained himself from downing everything in the bottle. He put its cap back and placed it down, determined to save it up until the end of the day.
’Mini Plotter should give another discount.’
Bzzt.
Rayen almost jumped in shock when his phone vibrated hard in his hand. Because of the disturbance it was causing during practice, he turned it already in vibration mode. The team also collectively agreed to that rule and did the sa.
Calming himself down, Rayen exited the shop interface to check what it was about. A blue pop-up imdiately surfaced in Rayen’s screen.
Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt.
[You’ve made an impression to over 10,000 people!
Life Book Points: 100]
Just then, Rayen’s eyes widened when a familiar occurrence from before was flashing before his eyes once again.
’What’s this again?’
Rayen blinked in confusion and looked around. Everyone seed to have been receiving notifications as well as Rayen. From their eyes, he could see a blue tint reflecting on it as they looked at their own screens.
’Oh, right... It’s already Tuesday.’
Yesterday night must be when the fourth episode was aired and their music videos were released to the public. It’s understandable to receive many Life Book Points notification again.
Still... why did it feel like it was even more excessive than the first round?
Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt.
Rayen’s phone kept vibrating and vibrating, its surface gradually turning hot and almost scalding Rayen’s palm. He couldn’t help but lean closer to his screen and whisper to it.
"Hey, can you tone this down?" Rayen whispered to Mini Plotter.
The vibrations instantly ceased. Rayen only observed the changes on his Life Book Points under his status window.
[Life Book Points: 267,900]
Phew.
The numbers kept increasing by hundreds every half a minute though, and Rayen didn’t know just how long it would go on. The first ti it was like this, it had only slowed down when he reached the 100,000 mark. It only increased significantly again when the third episode aired.
At this point, Rayen no longer doubted it. He might possibly reach the debut threshold if the montum kept going and if they were given ample amount of ti.
The production crew also inford them that there would be a total of twelve episodes for the show, with one episode airing each week. So that ant a three-month run-ti. They already reached the fourth episode.
For this month, he already earned almost 300,000 points. If the sa happens for the next two months, he would only get 900,000 points.
It was still a bit too short...
Well, that ant he just had to work harder and gain more fans and impressions. He also had to snag other awards too. The multiplier rewards would definitely help him out to get that 100,000 points short.
’But in this team...’
Rayen looked around again, settling his gaze at Xu Jiji.
’It’s too hard to get the MVP from them...’
Sigh.
Just then, a different notification appeared. It was a ssage from Adrian.
[Navin: Hey.]
Rayen typed a reply.
[What’s up?]
[Navin: Bad news]
Rayen blinked.
’Bad news? Bad news with what?’
Adrian sent another ssage. Even if it was only a ssage, Rayen could sense the urgency in his tone.
[Navin: Look yourself up in the internet. Hurry.]
’What’s this about ? Is he searching about just now? And the internet curfew was lifted already?’
All of a sudden, a loud bellow ca from Minho at the corner of the room. Rayen flinched in surprise and turned in his direction. Surprisingly, Minho wasn’t busy fixing his hair and was also looking at Rayen. His eyes was full of concern and panic as he stared at Rayen.
"Brother, don’t look at the Internet!" Minho exclaid.
But that made Rayen even more confused.
’So which was it? Do I look or not?’
anwhile, Xu Jiji pursed his lips, also hesitant to say sothing. However, he decided to just say it out. "No, I think he needed to know."
"What’s this about?" Rayen asked with a frown on his face.
"You’re dead!" Minho answered exaggeratedly.
"Yeah, I’m dead. Aren’t we all dead?"
"No, not like that!"
Annoyed by his roundabout words, Rayen said exasperated, "Explain clearly, ah!"
"Just look it up," Mr. Big News said.
When Mr. Big News also chid in the conversation, Rayen now had a bad feeling about it. He then opened the browser to search up his na, and the result left him speechless.
"What’s this about?" he blurted. "When did I bully Yeo Haru?"
"You didn’t?" Mr. Big News asked with a skeptical face.
"Dude, I know we never cleared up our misunderstanding, but it’s hurting that you still thought that way even though we’ve been teammates for so long!" Rayen almost cried out in sadness.
Mr. Big News didn’t expect him to say that and just stared dumbfounded at him. Rayen clicked his tongue and focused back on his phone screen.
’But this... this is bad. Will I get eliminated this way?’
Just the single thought of that left Rayen drenched in cold sweat.
