Chapter 87: Resource Packages

Gulp.

Rayen glanced left and right, avoiding Mr. Big News’s gaze. The others were all busy reading the contents of the packages when Mr. Big News called for their attention.

"We have a 2 million budget, right?" Lifting her head, Nana asked shyly. "Have you seen the other packages?"

In this team, she was the only female participant, so she felt a bit conscious. Back in the first round, most of her members were female, and they were all gentle and welcoming too.

Her group right now though...

She observed her new teammates, noticing Zbigniew’s subtle implicit gaze pointed at someone. She blinked then followed his line of sight and saw Rayen.

Watching Rayen awkwardly avoided Zbigniew’s gaze, something suddenly clicked inside her mind.

’Is this what I’m thinking about? Hehe...’

Nana felt excited, her mind wandering into another dimension.

’Ehem. Ehem. Focus, Nana!’

Giggling inwardly, Nana averted her gaze away from the two.

Meanwhile... Minho, the only innocent out of the five members, also joined in on the conversation. He decided to become a bit more assertive this round.

After this round’s performance, there would be eliminations. He couldn’t afford to lay low now after he got good results from the first round. His sponsors advised him to take more initiative too.

"Since we’re on the Visual Unit, should we focus on our styles?" he suggested.

Nodding in contemplation, Zbigniew tapped on his monitor to see what kind of packages was under the Style category.

Just like the other categories, the Style Packages also ranged from Standard to Luxury quality.

Unlike the Training package where the Standard quality seemed like a scam, the Standard Style Package seemed okay. It included a uniform costumes for each members and a single makeup artist for everyone. For the Premium Package, they would get unique costumes and accessories plus makeup artists for each members.

As for the Luxury Package, it was extravagant. Aside from the costumes, accessories and the artists, there was even a salon membership subscription included.

However, the package was a bit more expensive.

The Standard Package alone already costed 200,000 MC, the Premium Package costed 500,000 MC, while the Luxury Package was priced at one million MC.

’Why’s a salon membership so expensive?’

From Premium to Luxury Package, the only addition was the salon membership, but half a million memorial coins were added to the price.

Rayen felt like their pockets were shrinking because of the astronomical price. This time though, he was able to manage his expression.

Only sighing, he pried off his gaze from the large number on his monitor, his expression deadpan as he scanned his teammates also struggling to make up their minds.

’It’s too expensive...’

If it was normal money, Rayen and the others wouldn’t mind being a bit too extravagant. However, what they’d be spending were memorial coins! They could buy something more useful with that — something magical, even.

However, Minho’s words earlier were reasonable. With their concept still uncertain, the only package they could think to focus on was really the Style Package.

Sigh.

"Why don’t we check out the Whole Set packages?" Nana suggested.

Hearing that, everyone immediately tapped the Whole Set Packages on their monitors. Just as expected, everything from the other packages were under it, from Training to Styles.

But if they ever purchase a Standard Whole Set Package, which was priced at 800,000 MC, they could only get the standard resources included in it.

They couldn’t customize their resources.

Perhaps choosing the Premium Whole Set Package would be wiser. The Standard Packages were a bit below standard, to be honest.

’Who even named it Standard?’

But the problem with buying the Premium Whole Set was... they couldn’t afford it.

Their exact budget was only 2,264,500 MC. The Premium Whole Set Package was priced at 2,500,000 MC.

They didn’t even look at the Luxury one. What’s the use? Just with the Premium alone, they already couldn’t afford it.

Rayen couldn’t help but envy the people from the Vocal Unit. Because of the intense bidding war, everyone there bidded for more than 500,000 MC. Pooling every bid from the six members, they would amass at least 3 million MC already. They could probably afford the Luxury Whole Set Package without wincing in pain.

"Let’s not pick the Whole Set," Mr. Big News said, disappointed.

With everyone agreeing, the others checked the other packages, comparing and computing for their budget. Taking into consideration Minho’s point earlier, they settled on purchasing the Luxury Costume Package. For the other three, they would avail for the Premium Packages.

In total, the amount they were planning to spend was 1,900,000 MC.

Since there was still more than 300,000 MC that would remain, Mr. Big News suggested that they should also avail for the Luxury Filming package. However, Rayen opened his mouth to give his opinion.

"I think we shouldn’t spend everything," Rayen said.

Hearing him, Mr. Big News pursed his lips and once again stared at him. His expression was unreadable. Combining his large body from his sharp gaze, Rayen felt like this big guy wanted to squash him alive.

’Did I offend him? Hey, don’t stare at me like that!’

After a brief moment, Mr. Big News finally spoke.

"What for?"

Despite his unwillingness to be teammates with Rayen, he refrained it from showing on his face.

Rayen was silent.

"....."

Zbigniew raised his eyebrows, puzzled with his sudden silence. Then, he saw Rayen’s gaze darted to the cameras around them.

Actually, Rayen was hesitant because the reason for his suggestion was confidential for the public.

’Should I say it?’

His reason was he wanted to save some coins to buy boosters and enhancers for all of them.

Tomorrow, his Boom Boom Body would expire. Rayen wasn’t confident yet that he could dance well without it. Besides, the feeling of being in full control of his body was truly too addictive.

In the end, Rayen decided to tell them his idea. It only meant more work for Plotter anyway.

Rayen expected Mr. Big News to be skeptical about it, but surprisingly, his expression seemed like he was considering the idea.

"But... Is that possible?" Mr. Big News asked, glancing at the cameras.

"It’s possible," Yeon Miwol replied as though she heard what they talked about.

After that, her voice silently withdrew from the conversation. She didn’t rebuke them for talking about the confidential matters too.

Mr. Big News nodded and then looked at Rayen. "Okay, let’s do that."

Rayen also returned his gaze, noticing a change in the way Mr. Big News look at him.

’Eh?’

Meanwhile, Nana watched them silently, giggling.
