When I looked at the 32 Divine Power Points I received at the end of the night, I had a big smile on my face.
After all the optimization I had done with the Internet, the cost of running the Internet for each user was 0.5 Divine Power Points per hour.
Considering that each user's prayer earned me 1 Divine Power point, this meant that I received 0.5 Divine Power points of profit per prayer from each believer.
The initial number of believers was 10 people, but from 10 people, it quickly grew to 16 by the end of the night when some of the believers showed the Internet to their family.
With their average use of 4 hours a day, taking into account some who used it for 6 hours and some who only had 2 hours a day to use the internet.
In total, they had prayed to me 64 times, but because of the operating cost of 0.5 Divine Power points, this meant that the Divine Power gain I received was "only" 32 points.
This may seem very low considering that I needed to collect 10,000 Divine Power points to become a Rank 2 Embryonic Deity, but to use another comparison, I was only receiving 20 Divine Power points a week from the teachers at school, and on my first day alone I had already received 60% more than I had in a week, 11 times more than the average I received in a day before I came to this world.
When the mortals went to sleep, I went to sleep.
Since only a part of my consciousness was in this small world, while my main consciousness was still in my body in the divine world, I needed my body to sleep in the divine world so that I could rest.
The school test was based on the results of the realm we were assigned to in this small world, and since time passed twice as fast in this small world as in the divine world, it meant that 8 hours of sleep in the small world would only be 4 hours of sleep in the divine world, so I divided my sleep to sleep twice in one day to synchronize the two places.As my strength increased, the need for sleep would decrease, so this problem would disappear over time, but now that I was still only a Rank 1 Embryonic Divinity, I had to deal with this problem.
Even though my consciousness was split, my body was still functioning perfectly.
In fact, to my body, it felt like that part of my consciousness was in a VR world that my main consciousness saw as a computer screen.
I could still focus on things in the divine world, but I could also spend hours just looking at the small world without worrying about getting bored.
It was a difficult feeling to explain, but I think I passed on a playful idea.
...
When I woke up after 4 hours of sleep, my awareness of the small world woke up and I could feel that there were already believers connected to the Internet.
Out of curiosity, I used my power to see what people were doing.
Of the 9 users currently connected to the Internet, 8 were using the [Library], while only one was using the [Carrier Pigeon].
This user acted just like a normal person from my past world, lying lazily in bed while reading the feed of social media posts.
As for the users who were using the [Library], I noticed that four of them were in the same place, and one of them was a user who had logged in for the first time yesterday, and the other three users had prayed for the first time a few minutes ago.
So I decided to see what these three people were doing together.
- 3rd POV -
"Are you sure this is free?" A man asked skeptically as he held up the Internet book and looked in shock at the content he could read and learn for free.

"Yes, my son got into a lot of mischief yesterday morning, so my wife sent him to spend the day in the old church with Father Robert as punishment." The man said proudly, receiving nods from the other men.
This was a common occurrence. When children got into mischief, their parents would send them to church as punishment, because it was very boring to sit in church and listen to the priest talk about a God that nobody thought existed.
"But to our surprise, when the boy returned home, he came back with a delicate book with a drawing of a noble magician. You don't know how angry my wife was, she thought he had stolen it from some nobleman, she almost killed him with the beating she gave him, hahaha". The man laughed as he explained, and his friends laughed too as they imagined the scene.
"But while she was beating him up, the book magically disappeared, making her even more worried that the wizard had used something from the book and would come to our house to take revenge. Fortunately, the boy showed her that the book was actually summoned by a prayer to the God of the Internet, the God Father Robert had believed in for so long," the man explained. The man explained.
Hearing this explanation, the man's friends were even more surprised.
"How come Father Robert never taught this prayer before?" One of the men asked as he looked curiously at the delicate books in the library.
Even though he was a commoner who didn't usually read because he couldn't afford books, he always saw nobles and wizards walking around with books and was envious.
Now that he could read books that were just as fine, if not finer, than those of the nobles, the man was very excited.
"According to my boy, the messenger of the God of the Internet came down to the church yesterday and personally taught them this prayer." The man explained while looking at the corner of his [Library] screen with a broad smile.
Seeing the [32 Internet Coins] available in his account, the man felt very proud of the idea of introducing the Internet to his friends.
When he returned home, his son and wife were already using the Internet, so his wife invited him to join, and he received 10 Internet Coins for joining through her invitation.
Since he didn't have anyone to invite, he could only get the 1 Internet Coin from the daily check-in, which he used to buy a book to read.
Choosing the book with the most beautiful and elegant cover, a book that told the story of how a commoner who found a magical book had risen to become an Archmage, Sam stayed up late reading.
He had never imagined that reading could be so much fun, especially when he could see other readers' comments at the end of the chapters and laugh at the nonsense other people said.
This morning, when he logged on to the Internet for the first time, he realized that he could log on again and get 2 more Internet Coins.
But looking at the magic books and thinking about the story he had read the night before, Sam decided that he would try to invite his friends online to get the 10 Internet Coins that their invitation would bring him.
Sam's idea was simple, he would use 1 Internet Coin to buy the Apprentice Magic Book and dedicate himself to learning magic while collecting Internet Coins, so that if he learned well, he would have money to buy more advanced books in the future.
Thinking that he could be like the protagonist of the book he read, even though he was over 30 years old, Sam was still excited to dedicate himself to learning while feeling grateful to the God of the Internet for giving him this opportunity.
When he told his friends about the Internet God and how magical the Internet was, they received the news with a lot of doubt and skepticism.
But when he showed them the Internet book and explained its features, their eyes lit up with interest that made Sam laugh with pride.
Soon his friends were convinced to pray once, and he saw the 30 Internet Coins he received for these invitations added to the 2 Internet Coins he had in his account.
"Look, my wife just sent me a message!" Sam said excitedly as he pointed to his Internet Book, causing his friends to look at it with curiosity and interest.
Sam clicked on the message and saw it on his screen.
[Martha: "Sam, I managed to do the 'Lumos' spell! I think I have a talent for magic!]
Seeing this message from his wife, Sam was shocked and quickly replied.
As he awkwardly typed into the book, his friends were shocked.
"Since when is your wife a wizard, Sam?! Does she have a master?" One man asked, shocked and frightened.
"She's never had a master, she told me yesterday that she was going to buy the magic book with today's Internet coins to try it out, who knew she had the talent for it?" Sam replied, even more shocked by the news.
[Sam: That's great news wife, I'll be home soon to help you!]
Sam replied a little awkwardly on social media, but he quickly ignored the work he had to do today and rushed home to help his wife in any way he could.
If she really had magical talent, the money they would receive in the future would be far greater than what he earned as a butcher.
Seeing Sam running home to help his wife who had learned magic on the Internet, Sam's three friends looked at him with envy, but that was quickly replaced by anticipation when they saw that the book she had used to learn magic was also available to them.
'What if I have magical talent too? The three men mentally asked themselves as they spent their one Internet Coin to buy the magic book, dreaming that they too would have magical talent like Sam's wife.
Even if they didn't have any talent, couldn't they go home and see if their wives had any? And what about their children? The chances of at least one person in their family having magical talent were slim, but not zero!
