Despite Rayen's inward grumblings, Mini Plotter just proceeded with his thing.

A new pop-up interface appeared on the screen.

[Main Mission: "Secure a Place in the Debut Line-up" Complete!

Reward: 100,000 MC, Artificial Book Pages ×7 (Shared Inventory)]

'Artificial book pages?'

That term felt somewhat familiar.

Right! During the 3rd round preparations, they were tasked to create a few book pages themselves. However, after that round and the team had disbanded, the book pages had disappeared from their inventories.

'7 book pages... Are these the same book pages from back then?'

But from what he remembered, their team only gathered five book pages, and one of them had been used up completely.

So these book pages now... Are they really the same pages?

Even if Rayen counted the number of book pages the other groups had too, in total, there should be 12 pages.

The numbers didn't match.

Just then, he felt a vibration in his pocket.

Because of the recent incident, he was uncomfortable leaving his phone out of his eyes. That's why he always stuck it close to his body.

Somewhat, he was just like those generation alpha kids addicted to their phones and couldn't even bear to be apart from it.

However, it was still quite dangerous keeping it close because he had to move around while dancing.

And although he had an inventory in his system, he could only store book pages and some materials that were produced by Plotter — just like the music sheets on the 3rd round and his snacks from the cafeteria.

So, he could only sacrifice a bit of his Memorial Coins and purchased a small spatial dimension to put inside his pocket.

It was a bit of a waste, but he had no choice. Afterall, he had much more MC than before. He wasn't completely broke now.

Still, it wasn't a completely one-use investment. He could also store other items in his pocket now, as long as he had this spatial item equipped.

'I got sidetracked a little bit. Now, let's see the notification.'

Rayen shook his head as he tapped on his phone.

As expected, it was just about the notice of his reward arriving.

Seeing this, Rayen immediately headed to his useless inventory. There, he saw the 7 Artificial Book Pages neatly lined up in the shelves.

The first thing he checked was the only yellow page in there.

[Playwright's Quill]

'Oh, it's really the same book pages.'

But why were there only 7 book pages?

Perhaps, they also got used up.

Since Rayen already knew the four book pages that once belonged to them, he skipped reading their descriptions. He was more curious as to what book pages the other groups came up with back then.

The first thing he chose was a blue rarity page.

[Spider that spews out silk from its butt]

Rayen's lips twitched at this item name. It sounded disgusting.

[Spider that spews out silk from its butt: "I didn't really want to accept this tasteless name!" the Overseer of Scribes said. However, a certain horror fanatic insisted on using it.

Type: Accessory

Effects: Summon a silk spider that spews out unlimited silk.

Can be used to create wardrobes and accessories with +50% Visual Charm. Effects don't stack.

Developer Message: I know it sounds silly, but I really don't get how the person who created this page thinks.]

Rayen was speechless. He quickly closed the description window and tapped another book page.

[Silent Screamer: "I can come up with a better name, see?" the horror enthusiast remarked.

Type: Accessory

Effects: Increases Vocal by 1 level to whoever hears it during sleep.

Side-effects: After effects wore off, lose voice for 8 hours. Will not work if Vocal level addition exceeds the skill rank.]

Reading the whole description, Rayen sighed in relief. However, that side-effect... For a blue page, it was really inevitable to have that much restriction.

'But who is this horror fanatic in the first place?'

He recalled the performances during the 3rd round. Judging from the description, it seemed like these two pages came from Team Grit who transformed the sexy song into a romantic one.

Then, one person flashed in Rayen's mind.

That hateful Ren Bastard always wore black accessories. It wouldn't be that weird if he was some horror fanatic with his get-up.

Rayen shook his head to erase Ren's image in his mind.

'How about the last page then?'

Tapping the last page in the list, a new description window appeared on Rayen's screen.

[Playful Party Hat: "Let's party and play!"

Type: Accessory

Effect: Those who gaze at the person wearing this hat will feel refreshed, reducing mental stress.

Side-effects: This party hat is too playful to handle. It likes to do silly things and nibble your chin.]

Rayen was sure whose equipment this was. It was definitely the party hat that Liam wore during their Dance With Me performance.

That also explained the refreshing sensation he felt while watching them onstage.

At that time, Rayen thought that Liam deliberately put it on his chin to look silly, but it was actually the party hat that placed itself there.

After reading its entirety, he closed the description window.

Finally, he got curious about the shared inventory feature.

Since he was a game addict in his past life, he could roughly guess what it was about.

They had just finished the final round and will debut as one team. So, this shared inventory must be something that everyone could access.

After asking Mini Plotter about it, he confirmed his theory.

Mini Plotter yawned. "I will explain it to you once I wake up. Anyways, the shared inventory wouldn't be available until then."

Rayen blinked in confusion. Mini Plotter seemed so sleepy. Atop from yawning a few more times, it even rubbed its eyes.

"You're gonna sleep? What about the debut?"

"Yes, I'll be undergoing an update maintenance in a while," Mini Plotter explained. "The debut will have to wait. It's not as if you would debut in a day or two. You have to prepare the songs, the concept and such before we can even finalize it."

'Yeah, right.'

"Anyways, good night."

With that, Mini Plotter disappeared from the screen, leaving Rayen dumbfounded. His Idol:Revive application also showed a maintenance update notice.

At the center of his phone screen, Mini Plotter's character was snoring off with a bubble snot in his nose.
