Seven hours later, Rayen finally heard a dinging sound coming from his pocket. The living room was also filled with the same sound as they all received the same notification.
Immediately, the members in the living room put aside what they were doing and pulled out their phones.
Tapping on the Idol:Revive app, Rayen was no longer greeted by the maintenance notice.
[Propagator v3.0 launching...]
As soon as this message faded, Mini Plotter appeared.
"Hello~ Did you miss me?" Mini Plotter greeted.
Obviously, Rayen didn't, so he ignored him. Instead, he directly went to his status window.
[Name: Im Rayen
Stage Name: Rayen
Vocals: S
Dance: C+
Visual: A-
Production: S-
Team: D+]
Rayen sighed. Thankfully, his stats didn't degrade after not doing any of his weekly missions.
With that, he observed the new changes in the system.
Just by seeing the interface, aside from the pot of soil having grown a sprout now, he couldn't spot any difference. So, he immediately headed toward the support chat to talk with Mini Plotter.
Rayen typed with a frown on his face. "What's up?"
Mini Plotter pouted at his indifference, but still answered regardless. "As of version 3.0, the app blocking feature has been lifted."
Having the blocking features lifted meant they wouldn't be restricted to using just the lame browser. They could now really interact with the public and create their own socials.
That's great, but...
'You slept for long just for that?'
As though Plotter could sense his annoyance, it added something more.
"We are also introducing Page Durability."
"What's that?"
"Since you've earned a million points, that means you can now exist without relying on external sources. That also means you have lost outside support and the items you've acquired are now being powered by your own life force."
Rayen stiffened. "You mean…"
He could already guess it, but he still wanted to ask to make sure.
"What I mean is... Every equipment life book in your inventory now has its durability limit."
"....."
'What's up with this update? Why did it feel like it went down instead of up?'
It even slept for more than a week, but Rayen only got this shit.
"You do not have to worry though. As long as you have MC, you can restore the durability of your pages," Mini Plotter consoled.
'That doesn't make me feel better, though… I now have to spend on something I didn't before.'
They just spent so much in constructing their dorm. He didn't even have time to feel like a rich young master before his MC had dwindled to less than a hundred thousand.
Still, this feature was better than exhausting the book page at all.
"To compensate you with this, another feature was also added to help you earn MC passively."
Rayen's eyes finally twinkled upon reading Mini Plotter's words.
"What's that?"
"Introducing you to Fan Engagement."
At the same time, a new interface appeared on Rayen's system screen.
[Life Book Points: 1,003,412
(1M points = +1,000 MC)
Fan satisfaction: 73%
Passive income: 1,000(×4) MC daily]
"Every one million Life Book points you get, your base passive income will be given an additional 1,000 MC. Then, as for the fan satisfaction… at every 10% beyond 50%, you will get a ×2 multiplier for your base income. But if it falls below 50%, you won't get any multiplier," Mini Plotter further explained.
So if Rayen maintained his public image with his fans, he would be able to earn MC? That's good!
It's like getting rewarded for being a nice person.
A 4,000 MC daily income seems a bit too low, though. That's only equal to four Revitalizing Drinks a day.
'I'm feeling so poor…'
But if he could increase his fans' satisfaction, it would increase.
Gradually, his mood turned for the better.
"Are there any else you'd like to add?" Rayen asked, silently expectant.
"There's only one more thing."
"What's it?" Rayen smilingly asked.
"It's another feature: Social Trend."
As though Mini Plotter had gotten tired of verbally explaining the features, it just showed the patch notes for Rayen to read.
[Social Trend: this feature shows the predicted popular topics and concepts within the next 6 months.
1. Friendship (4 months)
2. Girl Transformation (1 month)
3. Oddly weird, but cute (6 months)
4. RnB (6 months)
5. Snow (2 months)
(Add 1,000 MC to extend the list…)]
"That's all for the updates!"
With that, Mini Plotter disappeared from Rayen's screen.
Dismissing the updated patch notes, Rayen noticed a red dot on his inbox. Curious, he tapped on it.
There was already a newly created group chat actively sending messages in his inbox.
[SEEDZ: 7 new unread messages]
Rayen decided to ignore it for the meantime as he saw another good thing under it.
[Main Mission Reward]
Rayen happily tapped on it to claim his goods.
This reward had arrived late since he couldn't even open his inventory during this recent system update.
[The Stars of Life (Unique): A boatman once said, "The sky will show the way. You just have to look at the stars."
Type: Scenario
Usage: Shout "Let there be light!" to activate. (1/1 remaining)
Effect: Experience book page scenarios from the countless lights that once guided you.
Note: Propagator suggests you use this whenever you feel stuck creatively. It might help!]
It seems like it's not of any use to him right now.
But a unique page?
'That's new... I guess that's unique for you.'
Rayen kept on fiddling with his system to check the new features more. Right now, he seemed like an addict who was deprived of his favorite thing for a long time.
After a few more minutes, he truly felt satisfied.
Now, the only thing left to do was to advance his dancing skill's rank.
Rayen immediately headed to his status window and tapped his Dancing Skill.
[Would you like to accept the ranking mission?
Y/N]
Rayen obviously picked the yes option and a new pop-up appeared.
[Skill Ranking Mission (Dance)
Mission: Record yourself dancing and post it anonymously on social media. Gain 1 million reactions.
Deadline: 7 days]
