God of Internet

Hearing this, the old man\'s eyes were even brighter.

"Thank you, Lord Athenos, and thank you, God of the Internet." The man said, clasping his hands religiously.

Nodding my head, I instructed him to gather more people so that he could teach at the same time, and to continue to charge 2 copper coins per person per week, but he would collect the excess money to renovate the church.

"With a bigger, more imposing church, it will give a better feeling to the citizens of Internet God." I explained as Robert nodded several times.

The number of students Robert was teaching grew to 200, which meant an income for Robert of 400 copper coins per week, or 4 silver coins!

Per month, this rose to a total of 1600 copper coins or 16 silver coins, a figure that the average family could only dream of.

So Robert\'s guilt over earning so much money grew, and I realized that I had to appease him.

To accommodate the nearly 100 people in the first class of students, Robert and Amber had organized the church as a large open space, with no chairs, just some cloth on the floor for people to sit on in a less uncomfortable way.

But while the people in my world might have felt bad about having to sit like that, the people in this world didn\'t care so much and just sat neatly while looking at Robert curiously.

When they saw me next to him, many of their glances were confused or surprised.

Mostly because of my clothes, which were very different from the ones they wore here.

While the commoners only had money to buy clothes made of cheap fabric with thick, rough seams. I wore a more modern and comfortable outfit, with a cotton fabric that seemed more comfortable and delicate to them than the clothes of the nobles.

The only thing that distinguished me from the nobles was that my outfit wasn\'t as extravagant as the mages\' clothes.

For me, it was just a white long-sleeved shirt with blue jeans and comfortable white sneakers, very different from the clothes full of layers and decorations that the nobles liked to wear.

But because of the quality of my clothes, the commoners still looked at me curiously.

Since there were people who had already seen me among the students, they quickly learned who I was, which made them wary of my presence.

Realizing that this might disrupt the class, I decided to go elsewhere and leave my body.

As I watched those 87 ordinary people praying to me and earning 47 Divine Power points in no time, a big smile appeared on my face.

Okay, now it\'s time to give Robert the blessing. I thought as I began to use my Divine Power to bless him.

Fortunately, the thousands of wizards at Arcantor Magic School had already prayed to me several times today, so my accumulated Divine Power had exceeded the 9,000 required for the blessing.

The process of developing the Blessing was quite unique for each god and style of deity.

A God of Love could bless his believer\'s procreation or make other people fall in love with him with ease.

A god of war could bless his followers so that they would become more powerful during a war.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

The more people a god blessed at once, the less effective the blessing was, but for the other gods, the blessings were also about 10 times cheaper than for me...

So I started doing the blessing for Robert, following the instructions in the book I\'d read.

First, I needed the intention of the blessing with Divine Power.

My main intention with this blessing was that all the knowledge that Robert was explaining and that he really understood would be absorbed much more easily by the audience that was paying attention to him.

The secondary intention of the blessing was that Robert\'s voice would spread more easily, reducing the effort he had to make to get a large number of people to listen to him.

With the intentions set, a small blue ball the size of a bean began to float in my hand, and now all I had to do was determine how much Divine Power I needed to put into the blessing.

When I looked at my Divine Power reserves and saw the number 12,611 Divine Power available, I nodded and began to inject Divine Power into it.

As soon as I started injecting Divine Power into this benediction, the bean-sized blue ball slowly grew.

By the time it reached 5,000 points of Divine Power, the bean was the size of a grape, and by the time it reached 10,000 points of Divine Power, it was the size of a strawberry.

As I looked at the beautiful ball of blue light shining in my hand, a smile appeared on my face.

Success!

Because of my divinity, I could easily feel the effect of this blessing.

[The Teaching Blessing: When you teach others, as long as you know what you\'re teaching and what you intend to teach, the target person has a 100% greater chance of understanding what you\'re explaining, and the speed of learning that content increases by 100% during that study session.

Duration: 7 days].

When I looked at the 100% chance of understanding the content of the lesson, I got very excited until I realized that there was a little pun in the words used.

This 100% didn\'t mean that the student would have a 100% chance of learning the lesson, but that the chance of learning it would be doubled, i.e. if it used to take a person 40 minutes to learn a letter, now with this blessing it would only take them 20 minutes!

Out of curiosity, I decided to add a little more Divine Power to this blessing.

The ball of blue light, which was just a small dwelling before, slowly grew in size with the additional 1,000 points of Divine Power I put into it.

While I was injecting Divine Power into it, I could feel that I could choose what I wanted to change, so I decided to use this Divine Power in the effect of the benediction, and I continued to inject Divine Power.

Of course, I didn\'t want to use the 2,000 points of Divine Power I had left and have nothing left, so I stopped and looked at the result.

[Teaching Blessing: When you\'re teaching other people, as long as you know what you\'re teaching and have the intention to teach, the target person has a 110% greater chance of understanding what you\'re explaining and increases the speed of learning that content by 110% during that study session.

Duration: 7 days].

Hmm... I thought as I looked at the result.

I could have chosen to increase the effect or the duration of the blessing, but 7 days was more than enough, so I could just focus on the effect and spend a week gathering Divine Power to increase it again after 7 days.

Satisfied with the result, I nodded and looked at Robert, who was about to start teaching.

Seeing that this was the perfect moment, I extended my hand with the blessing to Robert and controlled the blessing to go down to him.

When they saw the delicate light blue orb descending from the sky toward Father Robert, the mortals were completely shocked as they stared at it.

Robert, already knowing what it was, plastered a broad smile on his face as he knelt and clasped his hands in prayer to me.

I just smiled and let the blessing fall on his body, causing his body to glow slightly blue for a second before returning to normal.

When Robert opened his eyes, you could see his eyes glowing slightly blue, just like mine!

Was this a characteristic of a person who had been blessed by me?

When the other mortals looked at Robert, especially at his blue-glowing eyes, the shock on their faces was obvious!

The image of Robert, who once looked like an old man battered by time, was now slightly transformed into a truly divine man.

"Father Robert...what happened?!" One man finally gathered his courage and asked in shock.

"That... That was the blessing of the Internet God himself!" Robert said as he held out his hands. "He is very happy that everyone wants to learn to read and write, so happy that he blessed me so that I can teach you even easier and so that you can learn even faster with me!"

When people heard this, they were completely shocked.

Knowing that the God of the Internet was watching them and was happy with what he saw brought a big smile to their faces.

Not wanting to waste the blessing, Robert quickly started the lesson and everyone realized that they were actually learning faster!

As I watched them learn, I estimated that the time it used to take them to learn to read and write, which was about 3 months or 90 days, had now been reduced to less than 45 days!

Possibly this group of believers, as long as they continued to learn to read and write with Robert every day, could become literate people who could use the Internet perfectly in just over a month!

In other words, their daily Internet use would increase from 2-3 hours a day to a possible 4-6 hours a day with ease!

And as I added more features to the Internet, it was even possible that this would increase even more!

Just thinking about it made me excited about what other features I could launch with a fully educated population!
