Idol Revive: If I Don't Debut, I'll Disappear
Chapter 170: Mission Accomplised

Chapter 170: Mission Accomplised

Adrian was woken up by Rayen’s noise. With a frown, he lifted his face and saw Rayen running butt naked around their dorm.

"Eureka! Eureka!"

The moment Rayen met Adrian’s gaze, his face heated up and turned red like a tomato.

’Look away!’

Adrian closed his eyes as he saw the thing dangling in front of him. However, he didn’t forget to laugh out loud.

Rayen uttered more curses inside his mind.

’I’m gonna bash your head later to make you forget this damn scene!’

When he felt the clarity of his mind had finally returned, Rayen ran back inside the bathroom to cover himself with a towel.

Thankfully, there were no cameras inside their dorm. If that scene was somehow leaked to the internet, there would be no ifs anymore. His life and career would be over immediately, literally.

Calming himself down, he changed into his clothes and went outside again. This time, Adrian had already shed the remaining sleepiness in him. He was still laughing his heart out; he was even slapping down the couch with tears at the corner of his eyes.

"Hahahahaha... what the hell was that?! You really did it?"

Rayen glared at him.

’Yeah, I did it. So what?!’

"I really don’t know if you’re just silly, or just shameless. If it’s me, I won’t do it even with my life at stake."

"Then you can just die," Rayen snapped. "It’s your damn fault I had to do that."

’Who’s the freaking shameless between the two o us?! You wrote this damn character for me!’

Sensing that Rayen was really fuming with anger, Adrian finally stopped laughing.

"So, what idea did you think of?"

Ignoring Adrian’s question, he felt for the pockets of his old clothes for his phone. When he took it out, a notification pop-up was displayed before him the moment he opened the screen.

Of course, he didn’t risk his dignity just for a mere idea. It was because of this:

[Skill Ranking mission successfully passed!

Production: C+ >>> S-]

It was a three ranks jump! A whole seven levels!

Was it worth it?

Heck, why not? There were no cameras, and Adrian was supposed to be sleeping. If he could even compliment his worst enemy, he can sacrifice a little bit of his dignity. It was supposed to be "only a little bit"...

’But why the hell did this damn guy have to wake up in the middle of it?!’

He should have known. Adrian was a light sleeper. He could even wake up with just a slight move coming from Rayen.

Yet, there was nothing he could do aside from killing this guy to preserve his dignity.

For a moment, he imagined just choking this guy to death. However, Rayen just shook his head.

’Fine, I’ll let you off the hook right now, but I’ll make you pay in the future.’

Dismissing the pop-up, he admired the letters on his status window. It was becoming a bit more decent for a performer.

[Name: Im Rayen

Stage Name: None

Vocals: S

Dance: C+

Visual: A-

Production: S-

Team: D]

Even his dance stat had leveled up to C+ these past few days. But his team skill remained stuck on the D level.

This ugly flaw in his status window glared at him. It was like a beautiful face, but someone placed a large mole at it looking like a booger.

Rayen clicked his tongue and closed his status window.

"Hey, are you listening to me?" Adrian asked.

"No," Rayen dismissively answered then stood up. "Take a shower. You stink."

With that, Rayen left him in the living area to sleep.

...

The next day, Rayen requested for another concept meeting first thing in the morning. After witnessing the unthinkable last night, he acquiesced to Rayen’s request and gathered everyone before they start the practice.

"What’s this about?" Yeo Haru, slightly annoyed, sat on the floor.

Since his ideas weren’t even considered yesterday, why did he have to participate for another one?

Yet, when Rayen uttered the ideas he had last night, Yeo Haru’s eyes sparkled.

"You’re the best, bro! Let’s do it!"

Yeo Haru was pleased. Right. Rayen was the only person who would listen to him. For the first time, he felt like he was being heard on this team.

"Does everyone think the same?" Adrian asked, gazing at their teammates.

Everyone else nodded enthusiastically without complaining.

"Since we’re doing it like that, I’d also like to add another thing," Ayumi said, then explained her idea.

After that, ideas flew around once again.

"Then, let’s adjust the choreography accordingly." Adrian clapped, concluding the meeting. He then directed everyone to start practicing.

Another day of practice passed by like that. With Xu Jiji talent in addition to Yeo Haru’s help, they finished adjusting the choreography as they practiced.

When Rayen and Adrian came back to their dorms, a similar scenario happened again. Adrian was sprawled on the couch as Rayen took his shower.

However, the difference was that Rayen no longer had to act like Archimedes. As he dipped himself in the warm bath, he decided to just play with his phone while he did so.

’Oh right, I can’t play without games.’

Left with nothing to do, he just explored Idol:Revive app then noticed something different on his status window.

His team skills had just leveled up from D to D+!

He recalled Mini Plotter’s words that in order to level up this skill, he had to be a good teammate. And listening to his the members of his team was equal to being a good teammate.

Maybe because he considered Yeo Haru’s input, it leveled up.

Pleased with the sudden change, Rayen suddenly lost grip of his phone. His heart nearly jumped out of his ribcage, but fortunately, he was able to catch his phone before it plunged into the water.

Lesson learned: Never use a phone while taking a bath.

Sighing in relief, he looked at his screen one last time.

A notification interface was showing inside it.

[Be careful! If your phone is destroyed, your soul will also be destroyed!]

Reading that, Rayen’s face paled. Just now, he nearly died for real.
