God of Internet

At the end of today's class, both the students and Robert and Amber were shocked at how fast everyone was learning.

Compared to the previous day's lesson, the students were learning twice as fast as Robert!

The number of letters they had learned was double that of the previous lesson, and when they thought about everything they had learned in class, the knowledge seemed to be even more ingrained in their minds than usual!

When the students left, the news spread quickly among other Internet users.

Those who couldn't read told other users who couldn't read, while those who could read posted about it online, and those who could read and saw the post told their friends and family who couldn't read.

In no time at all, the number of students who wanted to learn from Robert had grown from 190 to nearly 300, and it was still growing!

The concern of the illiterate commoners was that it seemed so complicated to learn to read and write, why waste time trying?

But with the news that the God of the Internet himself had blessed Robert so that he could teach people and people could learn faster, the shy commoners with little confidence realized that maybe they could learn now.

After all, even the God of the Internet used his divine powers to bless Father Robert so that they could learn, so maybe they could learn, right?

But despite the crowd, everyone was very well-behaved and didn't cause any trouble in the Church of the Internet God, and just sat quietly while listening to Father Robert's explanation and paying attention to his words and the pictures in their books.

When people felt that they were really learning very quickly, they became even more excited, and the news spread even to ordinary people who didn't know about the Internet.

Knowing how to read and write was considered something noble that only nobles or wizards could normally do, but knowing that it was possible for ordinary commoners like them to learn how to read and write for just two copper coins a week was shocking news.

It was even more shocking to discover that the God of the Internet existed in Arcantor with such a magical and incredible Internet!

=========================

Looking at the huge increase in the number of believers and Divine Power, I had a big smile on my face.

Even though the average usage time per user had decreased, I was still very satisfied.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

The wizards had already killed most of their curiosity, just like children when they get a new toy, and now the normal routine was returning.

I still expected the average time to drop in the next few days, but I was satisfied with the current number.

I had gained more than 20,000 Divine Power points today, but I had to spend some of it on the blessing for Robert.

If this continued, I might be able to become a rank 4 Embryonic Deity tomorrow!

But using all my Divine Power without saving anything and not developing anything new online wasn't very smart.

So... like a good programmer, I got my hands dirty and started giving the Internet some much-needed upgrades.

First, the [Library] got a few dozen new books.

I had to spend a few hundred Divine Power Points just to remember every detail of these books.

Among these books, I decided to include some picture books for believers who have trouble reading!

Even though the price of converting these books was more expensive than normal books, I now had enough Divine Power to spend on it.

Of course, the picture books I brought were all stories set in medieval worlds.

I used children's books, comics, manga, manhwas, webtoons, and many different styles of stories to attract as many people as possible.

Of course, even though I had spent a lot of Divine Power to bring these books into this world, instead of releasing everything at once, I decided to program new chapters of these stories to be released every day.

That way, users wouldn't just read one story, but could become addicted to multiple stories, giving them a reason to use the Internet every day and spend their Internet Coins.

These books also had a cost to unlock based on Internet Coins, but the cost was so low that they didn't have to worry about it.

I also took the opportunity to develop another section of the [Library], a section for authors!

Users could write their own books and publish them on the Internet, and keep 50% of the Internet Coins generated by the sales.

I know this would be very unpopular with commoners, but nobles and wizards would love this, especially knowing that thousands of people could read what they've written, so for people who seek fame and glory like them, this would be a great idea!

All of these changes to the [Library] application cost a total of 4,199 Divine Power Points.

For the [Carrier Pigeon] application, I decided to update the option for users to create groups!

Now, instead of just sending messages directly from one person to another, it was possible to send messages in groups and have multiple people receive them at the same time!

This update was very cheap, costing only 200 Divine Power Points.

[CardMasters] was the last app to be updated, and I used 2,000 Divine Power Points just to update the graphics of the cards in the game, and to add skins for users' decks that could be purchased with Internet Coins!

These skins ranged in price from 10 Internet Coins to 1,000 Internet Coins!

Since the Internet Coins were free, I wasn't too worried about the price of the skins.

And since I knew how people reacted to Gacha, I included skins that could only be obtained through Gacha.

Would people in my old world hate me for that? Possibly, but the people in that world had no idea what it was, so I wasn't worried.

After all, they would have fun playing a free game with skins that you could win for free, just harder to get because it was random.

To run a Gacha, you had to spend 20 Internet Coins, less than a person would make in a week on the Internet, where you could get very cheap skins that cost only 10 Internet Coins, or skins that cost 1,000 Internet Coins, even the Legendary skins that were only available in the Gacha, obviously with a very low chance of getting them.

With so much Divine Power available, I put a lot of effort into making beautiful Deck Skins, until I remembered something, or more specifically, a game that was very popular in my previous world.

A card game where each card represented a monster or spell.

The player could buy packs of cards and customize his deck to his liking, as well as duel against other players.

That wouldn't be a bad idea in this world, would it?

I'd just have to wait a little longer, because you'd have to be able to read to play it, so I'd have to wait for the population of this world to become more literate...

But it was a great idea to save for the future.

Thinking back to the little fire dragon I made in my school room in the Divine World, I could even use these duel monsters as an offensive means for my army to fight in the future!

It would be like a blessing that users could activate to fight for them at any time.

Compared to other gods who could only bless their followers when they were paying attention to them, this would be a great way to attract other gods' followers to pray to me, hehe.

The [CardMasters] update, which added skins for the decks, improved the graphics of this game, and added 'Spades' and 'Bridge' as new game modes for players, cost me 5,901 Divine Power Points.

The total cost of the Internet upgrade was 10,300 Divine Power Points, a figure that wasn't even that high compared to how much I received on a daily basis.

It was a bit shocking to go to sleep and see my total Divine Power drop from 19,128 to just 8,828, but I was excited to wake up the next day and see how users would react when I implemented this upgrade.

It'll be fun to see how someone reacts to Gacha for the first time in their life...
