"Haha, great reactions."
I chuckled while scrolling the posts. From a quick skim, public opinion was mostly positive. It matched the hype built over weeks. Safe to say my broadcast debut was a success.
Now, after the next trip, I could kick off YouTube properly.
Beyond business, relationships progressed too. Over the past month with episodes airing, chatting with Jung Soo-jin and Chaeni brought us closer. No more awkward forced topics—we were comfortable now. No fake pretenses.
"Last episode's out, so after the trip, we should grab drinks."
With thoughts sorted, I focused on the tattoo.

The 30-day penalty lifted, activating destinations. Next spot was decided: perfect for new powers, modern civilization.
But like last time in 'Namhira', no identity means trouble. Prep needed.
Into Mileage Shop, bought the pre-scouted item.
🎁 ITEM ACQUIRED 🎁
Placebo ID Card
Rare
◈ Prints imagined identity for display.
◈ Fools ID scanners.
◈ Change once daily.
◈ Caution: Can't impersonate higher status. Ineffective on those who know your identity; no reuse on same target.
A pure white card-like item dropped into my hand. 1000 mileage item. Left me with just 200 mileage.
Hope the effect matches what I thought...
If not, 1000 mileage wasted. Trembling hand checked.
'Jackpot!'
Better than expected. Even basic fake ID would've been fine, but for 1000 mileage, it guaranteed fooling targets. Useless on those who know me, but irrelevant in travel worlds. No one knows me unless I spill. Only downside: hard to use in reality. With debut and future YouTube fame, faking ID risky.
No need in reality anyway.
Stored Placebo ID Card in inventory, suddenly thought to expand it. Current 1m³. Last time stocked food, no space left. Better prepare for unknowns.
Mentally selected expand inventory.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
Inventory expansion requires 100 mileage.
Expand inventory?
[YES] [NO]
Hit 'YES'. 100 mileage gone, inventory expanded. Checked: width, length, height all +1m. Volume 8m³—8x bigger. Best mileage value.
Added more food to expanded space. Prep done—time to travel.
⚙ DESTINATION ⚙
Academy of the Fallen Kingdom
⚙ DIMENSION TRAVEL EXPRESS ⚙
Ticket confirmed.
Have a great trip!
You have 1 souvenir.
Mileage: 100.
Check provided amenities.
Amenities: Safe Ejection, Appearance Change
Current world: 'Academy of the Fallen Kingdom'.
......
Too excited about the new item, I missed the fresh controversy scorching the boards before departure.
