Chapter 33: 33 – Use the Internet differently?
Unfortunately, my idea wasn't very practical...
When I developed the Blessing for Robert, as soon as it reached a fivefold bonus, the cost of Divine Power was increased by much more than the bonus this Blessing granted.
But a fivefold bonus was still extremely powerful.
Considering that the normal time for a person to learn to read and write at a basic level was about three months if he really dedicated himself to learning, with a fivefold bonus for Robert, that time would be reduced from the original 90 days to just 18 days!
Less than three weeks for people to learn to read and write at a basic level was unheard of.
If there had been someone like Robert in my previous world selling courses on how to learn to read and write in such a short time, parents all over the world would have paid large sums of money to enroll their children in these miracle courses.
Of course, for a person to learn to read functionally naturally, just like the magicians at the Arcantor Magic School, this process would take between 6 and 24 months, which would decrease to a time of just over 1 month to 5 months of study more than the original 18 days to learn the basic level based on the student's dedication.
But considering that I could increase the intensity of Robert's Buff if I moved up another rank, that time didn't seem like such a big deal.
Especially considering that there were already people who had studied for 7 days under Robert's 100% buff, which was 14 days less than the original 90, leaving only 15 days of study for these people to reach the basic level of reading and writing.
The only problem for me was that I spent 50,000 Divine Power points to do Robert's buff this time, on top of the extra 5,000 I spent trying to increase the intensity of it, and I could not increase it very much.
This brought my Divine Power down to 107,282, which was still a reasonable amount.
To deliver the buff to Robert, I didn't even have to descend my consciousness into the marble body that was there for me in the mortal world, I just caused a blue light to descend into the mortal world and land on Robert's body just after the start of his first class that morning.
When the mortals saw the blue light descending on Robert's body, they were initially alarmed, but when they saw Robert's reaction of getting down on his knees and beginning to pray in gratefulness, they realized that this was the work of the God of the Internet!
Curious as to what it was, one young girl couldn't resist asking.
This was only because Robert was extremely polite and humble to everyone, regardless of their background or profession.
Even though she worked in a brothel, Robert always treated her with respect, just like other people with all kinds of jobs.
"Father Robert, what was that?" She asked after he finished praying to the God of the Internet.
Her question had the other hundreds of people in the classroom paying attention, very curious to hear his answer.
Hearing her question, Robert looked at her with a smile as he asked. "Have you noticed that you are learning to read and write very quickly?"
"Yes?" She answered a little uncertainly.
When she was younger, they had tried to teach her to read and write, but she had found it a bit difficult and hadn't wanted to try to learn more, thus missing an opportunity that could have changed her life.
But now she thought that her speed of learning was because she was an adult and more mature.
But from Father Robert's words, apparently, that wasn't true?
"The God of the Internet blessed me 7 days ago so that I could teach twice as efficiently and my students could learn twice as fast, which may be a big part of the reason why you learn faster, all because He cares for all His believers and wants everyone to have a better life." Robert patiently explained.
People's eyes widened in surprise as they listened to his explanation.
So the Almighty God really cares about our lives? The woman felt very touched as she thought about it.
Since she was used to seeing the evil in most people, especially the mages and nobles who frequented the brothel where she worked, she knew how selfish those people could be.
Knowing that the God of the Internet, someone above the mages and nobles, was so concerned about them and wished them well that he used some of his power to bless Father Robert so that they could learn faster made her very grateful.
The others were as surprised and grateful as she was.
And Robert's next words shocked them even more.
"Only this time, the blessing that the God of the Internet poured out on me is even more powerful! What used to double your teaching efficiency and learning speed is now increasing fivefold! In other words, what would normally take you five days to learn will only take you one day with this blessing from the God of Internet!" Robert said with a big smile on his face.
Hearing these words and Robert's example of how long it would take them to learn things, the shock on people's faces became even greater, increasing their awe and respect for the God of the Internet.
To make sure that everyone knew about this, Robert decided that he would record a short explanation of it in the audio of today's class and post it on the Internet.
He knew it was important to let people know about the good deeds of the Internet God for them.
I liked that a lot.
The advantage of Robert being an old man was that he had enough life experience to know how to make the best decisions in most situations because of his experience.
And when he was wrong, he knew to listen to my advice to follow the right path.
Not to mention that his gentle personality was one of the best qualities I could have in a priest in my church because it would be hell to have to deal with a greedy priest who liked to use the power of the church for personal gain.
After blessing Robert, I continued to look around the kingdom through the Internet books that the users were using.
The vast majority of them used the book skin instead of parchment because of the practicality of holding the books and how nice it looked when an elegant cover was printed on the outside.
It wouldn't be too late to develop new skins for the Internet in the future, like my holographic blue screen, but for now, it would just be an unnecessary waste of Divine Power.
Looking at the believers, many of them were working, and it was even funny to see that many of them were playing [CardMasters] while working, hidden from their bosses, just like people did in my old world.
While others were working, I noticed something unusual.
Many of the people who could write were using the option to write a book in the [Library] application in a different way...
Instead of writing a book to sell in the future and receiving Internet Coins for it, some people were using these books as diaries!
People were writing just one or two pages a day, using it to blow off steam, jot down ideas for the future, and plan important things in their lives...
Which made me curious as to why...
Looking through people's diaries for a reason, it wasn't hard to find.
The answer was in the "book", or rather in the diary of one of the students of the Arcantor Magic School.
[Today, as I finished my studies, I felt a great need to reflect on the day, so I opened the Internet book that the God of the Internet gave us and started writing in the section where we are supposed to sell books.
I guess that's okay, right? I just never have to publish this book and I can keep this data written for me forever without even worrying about it disappearing!
It's amazing how much easier this tool makes my life; before, I would have had to spend precious coins on parchment and ink, carefully rationing each word.
Now I can record my thoughts without fear of waste, allowing me to explore my ideas and emotions with a freedom I've never had before. I am immensely grateful for this divine innovation that allows me to store my memories and reflections without exhausting my resources.
During the runic lesson, I heard something from the teacher...]
After a brief comment, this student began to write down the ideas and thoughts he had during the lesson so that he would not forget the important things in the future.
But the information I wanted had already been obtained.
He used it as a diary because the paper was extremely expensive in those days!
Unlike in my world, where paper was very easy and cheap to make, in this completely manual world without machines to develop automation, the process of making paper was not only expensive but also very laborious, which greatly increased the price.
Even if wizards could afford paper and ink, they had to use it very carefully, especially since it was very difficult to erase what had already been written without damaging all the paper - the Internet was a much easier and cheaper option for this!
Thinking about it for a moment, since I hadn't developed any updates for the web for a week, and developing a diary application would be very cheap, why not do it?
All the features were already there, the biggest expense would be to make a nice cover for this diary and add an option for believers to choose the color of their diary cover, making it even more personal, as well as an option to keep what is written private, preventing other people from reading the diary without the owner's permission.
Even with these new effects, the cost was only 140 Divine Power Points, which would easily please users who already knew how to read, as well as users who were learning to read, as they would have a place to practice writing for free!
