Becoming a god in Tokyo starts in the bathroom

After getting dressed, flush the toilet.

After taking a deep breath, Anzu Matsuori walked out of the restroom without saying a word.

Then, she rushed straight towards He Chen!

"Die, my God!!!"

The girl sacrificed her head!

Chapter Thirty-Six: Want to Try Another One?

"Okay, okay~ It's alright now~ I'll go fix the toilet later!"

He Chen held the girl in his arms and gently comforted her.

"Waaaaah, do you know how desperate I was when the toilet almost broke down? Can you imagine how much harm a broken toilet would cause to a minor girl? Waaaaah~"

Anzu Matsuori was still crying.

Although the girl rushed out with a face full of anger and immediately threw herself at He Chen with her headbutt, after a few headbutts and a few wild punches, Anzu Matsuori finally pounced on He Chen.

After some comforting words, the girl finally calmed down and asked about her luck ability:

"My Lord, how is the backlash from the good fortune going?"

After all, the reason she had to endure this hardship was entirely to help the deity improve their luck.

Well, since the god's luck ability has been enhanced to help her improve her exam scores, to round it off, the reason why Anzu Matsuori is suffering this is to improve her grades.

Yes, in the river, in the Ganges.

Anzu Matsuori is indeed a studious child; even going to the toilet is for studying.

"It's working; the negative effects of good fortune have now decreased."

He Chen nodded affirmatively.

The system rewards other [Divine Bias] increases, which are basically equivalent to using that [Divine Bias] once or twice.

Now, the backlash from good luck has increased from 1.5 to 3 times at the beginning to 1.48 to 2.98 times.

The backlash has indeed decreased, but not by a significant amount all at once.

After all, it's not a simple matter for gods to increase the variety of their abilities.

Generally speaking, one needs to torment the believers quite a few times before their abilities improve, allowing them to torment the believers even more times.

As a result, some deities, due to their inability to control the timing and frequency of worship, have caused believers to become unable to bear it or to withdraw from their faith out of great disappointment.

"That's good!"

Anzu Matsuori breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, there's still the [Divine Bias] skill we haven't used yet. Would you like to give it a try?"

Aside from the completely different mysterious style, the only thing they haven't used yet is the [Divine Inclination] skill. Although He Chen felt that using it before the exam might not be suitable, he still couldn't help but ask.

then.

"Clap, clap!"

The girl broke free from He Chen's grasp and stared at him warily!

"Don't even think about it! You should use it on someone else first, and then use it on me when you've mastered it!"

With a wary look on her face, Anzu Matsuori shouted out something that would be very strange if you thought of it in a wrong way!

"Tsk, alright. You can practice with other believers later."

After all, he was his first believer, so He Chen still cared about this little believer to some extent. After smacking his lips regretfully, he still agreed without hesitation.

The practice of "divine favoritism" is not about exploiting one believer, but about taking turns exploiting different believers.

Otherwise, this feature wouldn't have been unlocked only after the number of believers reached fifty.

In fact, despite the backlash, the current "divine favoritism" can be surprisingly effective if used properly.

In ancient times, the use of divine favoritism was not something every believer could enjoy; only those believers favored by the gods had the opportunity to experience it.

The reason He Chen chose to use it on Anzu Matsuori was entirely because...

Okay, so even if she knew it happened to her, she wouldn't stop being a fan because of it, yeah, that's it.

However, no matter how little she gets angry, after two times in a row, the girl's body couldn't take it anymore. If she were to have a third time, not to mention whether she could withstand it, even if she could, she would definitely cry until her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse.

So let's leave this matter here for today!

Unexpectedly, after hesitating for a moment, the girl took the initiative to ask about it:

"...My Lord, if these abilities are practiced on other believers, will they affect their effectiveness when used on me?"

Um......

Goodness, upon hearing this question, He Chen almost blurted out: "It only works if I practice on you."

The girl's shy and timid expression, which was both frightened and pretending to be brave, made me want to tease her!

However, his conscience ultimately made He Chen hold back:

"No, as long as they are my followers, they can improve the completion rate of these biases."

"Well, Your Majesty, should I secretly spread these things when I go to school tomorrow?"

Ok? !

He Chen looked at Anzu Matsuori with a surprised expression.

Good grief, after experiencing these two things, has the girl turned to the dark side and decided to make the world feel pain?

Then, the wise, kind, pure, generous, and upright deity took the initiative to ask this question:

"So you've finally decided to eliminate a bunch of competitors before the exam? But they're all my followers, isn't it a bit inappropriate to use this to sabotage them?"

"?!"

"Of course not! I will also tell people that the ability to pray to the gods will come at a reverse price later!"

"Furthermore, Your Majesty! Your current attitude clearly indicates that you yourself believe this ability is simply a trap!!!"

Previously, the girl had sensed that the deity's attitude was a bit off, as if he was deliberately trying to get her to accept it.

At the time, Anzu Matsuori thought it was her imagination, but now it seems that the god himself clearly feels that his abilities are now very unreliable and a real pain!

Good heavens, it's on fire! Anzu Matsuori's anger has ignited!

"Ahem, no, no, I was just thinking that if we do it the other way around, these abilities could indeed be used to trip up our competitors."

Having been caught red-handed this time, He Chen felt a little guilty, so he deliberately flew higher and lay down on the ceiling.

In this way, even if the girl wanted to jump up and attack He Chen's knee, she wouldn't be able to.

Incidentally, He Chen can also see some views that are only visible from higher floors.

Don't ask what it is; it's generally not allowed to be broadcast.

"Well, there's no need to rush to spread it. Just tell Yamazaki Yuki when the time comes, and the others can do whatever they want."

As a devout follower on par with Anzu Matsuori, Yamazaki Yuki has made significant contributions to spreading the faith, and He Chen would certainly be willing to help her if needed.

As for the other believers, it wasn't that He Chen didn't want to practice these divine favoritisms, but rather that using these abilities required consuming divine power.

Moreover, the shallower the faith and the finer the faith line, the greater the divine power required to achieve the same effect. For believers at the general level, even ten times the divine power might not be enough to make a significant difference.

He did not want to expend too much divine power before the number of believers increased significantly.

Furthermore, if things go wrong and the followers feel they've lost out after praying to the gods, given that the followers are mostly high school girls, they might actually stop supporting him, and then he would also lose out significantly.

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Come on, find out what you need to memorize, and I'll cram it in for you..."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Chatting at School

The night was calm and peaceful, and I was full of energy in the morning.

During the break, Anzu Matsuori approached Yamazaki Yukei and told her that the gods had opened a new function here, allowing people to actively pray for blessings in their studies or luck. However, there would be corresponding punishments after using it.

Yes, despite He Chen's repeated emphasis, Anzu Matsuori only mentioned the two "divine favoritisms" of studying and luck, without saying a word about the toilet favoritism.

After adopting the jointly discussed approach, a brief conversation ensued, leaving Yamazaki Yuki with a constantly radiant expression:

"Sukko-i! The God is indeed powerful! And he is so gentle with his believers!"

"Um???"

"My lord... is gentle???"

As the saying goes, when I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, it's that you have a problem.

After hearing Yamazaki Yukei's words, Anzu Matsuori was completely speechless and dumbfounded.

Isn't she saying that praying to the gods for temporary power will lead to double the repayment?

Is this considered gentle?!

If this is considered gentleness, then just by taking out a loan, wouldn't it be a matter of being gently killed in an instant?

"Yes, so that believers can receive help at truly important and critical moments, the divine beings allow believers to receive the divine beings' blessings through prayer in order to overcome difficulties."

"However, the gods do not give indefinitely. After helping believers, they will punish them many times over to teach them that it is better to rely on oneself than on others, and that people should place their true hope in their own efforts."

"In this way, the believers are helped without being led astray by relying on the gods and giving up their own efforts. The gods are so kind!"

Yamazaki Yuki's eyes shone brightly, truly conveying a sense of reverence.

"Ah, but the backlash from using that ability is several times greater."

Although Anzu Matsuori felt that Yamazaki Yukei's explanation made a lot of sense, she still felt that something was not quite right.

Is that god who bullied her and then floated to the ceiling to hide really that great? And the phrase "relying on the god and giving up one's own efforts" made her feel like she was being unfairly targeted.

"After rewarding abilities, the punishments should be even greater. If they are the same, believers will definitely choose to pray to the gods for help when needed, instead of trying to make an effort themselves!"

Yamazaki Yukei's words were so coherent that Anzu Matsuori was genuinely unable to refute them for a moment:

"...Yes, that's right! Yamazaki-chan, you're right!"

Anzu Matsuori nodded vigorously, her expression serious as she agreed with Yamazaki Yukei's statement.

If not, what could Anzu Matsuori say? Could she say that the god lived in her house and had tricked her twice yesterday, and was trying to trick her a third time?
