Becoming a god in Tokyo starts in the bathroom

Tsk, I've been a kindergarten kid for over an hour...

He Chen lay in mid-air with his hands behind his head.

"Why don't we ask her what's going on and why she seems so poor?"

"Or, ask her if she's actually shaking?"

To be honest, to quote a kindergarten kid, it's absolutely shameful. We would all call someone like that inhuman.

However, cough cough, He Chen is indeed not human.

Doesn't it suddenly make sense that he's using the lines from the intellectually challenged version of Anzu Matsuori?

After reading the comics that Anzu Matsuori had left at home for a while, He Chen couldn't wait to emerge from the inner divine realm after the blessing ended!

Then......

Wow, so cute!

At this moment, Anzu Matsuori was lying on the sofa playing with her hands with an innocent expression. Although the flush on her face had not completely faded, her eyes were incredibly clean and pure.

Upon hearing He Chen's voice, the little believer turned his head, tilted his head to look at him floating in the air, and stretched out his little hand, making several grasping motions.

Their movements and expressions are absolutely adorable!

"Xingnan-chan? What are you thinking about right now?"

Seeing how adorable Anzu Matsuori was, He Chen spoke to her in a tone that was used to coax a child.

Anzu Matsuori responded in a similarly childlike tone:

"I was wondering, if you suddenly fell, where would you land?"

......

He Chen was taken aback. Goodness, this kid's thought process is just... Oh right, it's just a drop in IQ, not a real regression to childhood.

Thinking of this, my interest in teasing the child immediately vanished. After all, strictly speaking, the child in front of me wasn't a kid, but a little mentally challenged person.

This isn't an insult; after all, "mentally challenged" means intellectual disability, and isn't the girl currently in a state of intellectual decline?

Okay, let's get straight to the point!

"Xingnan-chan, are you trembling?"

He Chen threw a straight shot, then looked at Anzu Matsuori with a gaze that was both expectant and evasive.

"Of course not!"

Whether she felt relieved or regretful, the adorable version of Anzu Matsuori immediately denied it.

Judging from her resolute little expression, you could tell that she meant what she said. After all, Anzu Matsuori's current IQ was not high enough to support her making such a logical expression while lying.

"Tsk, I knew it wasn't? Ha, I knew it! Sure enough, among my followers, well, it's impossible for them all to be perverts!"

Thinking about this, the image of the "Perverted God" from the initial option resurfaced in He Chen's mind, and then he inexplicably felt a sense of loss.

Oh well, I've already made my choice, so there's no going back. I shouldn't think about it anymore!

Moreover, could such a handsome and promising god have come to this world only to become a "perverted god"?

Later, when he went outside, he saw, "Oh, this is the [God of Light], that's the [God of Life], and there's a [Statue of Liberty] standing next to them." He Chen walked over and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I'm the [God of Perversion]!"

This is ridiculous! They're practically gods, why are they so concerned about such trivial gains and losses? It's not like they need that little bit of faith to pay their mortgage!

I'm going to tell the world that I'm determined to be the "God of Learning" and the "God of Luck"!

"Ahem, Xingnan-chan, how are you feeling right now?"

He Chen became serious and asked the believer about his feelings.

"It feels great~ but my head feels a bit dizzy~ and it hurts!"

Xingnan Songzhi, who was lying down normally, was reminded by He Chen. She rolled her eyes and thought for a moment, then covered her head, looking aggrieved.

Even the way she looked at He Chen was as if He Chen had hit her.

Good heavens!

"Hey, don't look at me like that! It wasn't me who did it!"

"It was definitely you!"

Well, theoretically speaking, the cause of her headache is pain from overworking her brain, and the reason she overworks her brain is actually because of him.

"But you're the one who made me do it! I told you not to stuff in too much. Stuffing in so much knowledge will definitely hurt!"

He Chen tried to reason with him.

However, at this moment, Anzu Matsuori was already crying from the pain, with large tears streaming down her face.

He Chen immediately realized that reasoning with him was useless.

After all, when a normal girl cries like this, there's no logic to it. The chances that Anzu Matsuori, in his current mentally challenged state, could make sense are even lower than the probability of him suddenly turning into a "perverted god".

"Sigh~"

Goodness, does anyone know how to comfort a mentally challenged girl who is crying?

I'm in a real hurry!

Chapter Forty-Eight: So That's How It Is?

"Um... how about you pause for a moment, and I'll search for how to comfort a mentally challenged girl, and then you can continue crying?"

He Chen wore an awkward smile, and then... successfully made the mentally challenged girl's tears flow faster.

Ugh~ He only asked one question, why is he crying so hard!

"Xingnan-chan, why are you crying?"

He Chen tried his best to keep his expression in check, preventing his emotions from exploding, and continued to ask questions in a kind and gentle manner.

"Because it hurts so much, it's so painful!"

Anzu Matsuori looked quite aggrieved, like a kitten that had just been bullied, as if she wasn't the one who had chosen to persist in memorizing the content.

"Ah... then why did you insist on memorizing so much stuff before?"

He Chen's eyelids twitched.

The reason it hurts so much is entirely caused by Anzu Matsuori herself, okay? It feels like she's trying to scam someone!

"Waaah, because I have to get really good grades, otherwise I won't be able to go to school or eat!"

The girl looked sad, and what she said seemed both childish and unrealistic.

Good grief, you think you'll go hungry if you don't get good grades? That's impossible!

That's something only a complete idiot would say!

"This time, you only need to be in the top ten of your grade to get your tuition waived, right? And the top five get additional scholarships. So, your current knowledge level is actually quite sufficient."

He Chen added with a smile.

"No way! If I don't do well on the exam and don't get enough scholarships, I'll have to work hard and smile for others next semester just to support myself!"

To refute He Chen, Anzu Matsuori's crying temporarily stopped. Goodness, is this the kind of girl who never gives up when it comes to complaining?

But what's with the forced smiles and hard work?! Just say you're working at a convenience store and doing manual labor on the side!

The two together can easily lead some perverts to have all sorts of wild thoughts!

"Why don't you just ask your parents for money? It's more appropriate to start earning your own living after you go to university."

Although Japanese high schools dismiss students early and have a variety of clubs and activities, the students who enjoy life in happy high schools are those who are not planning to go to university.

In Japan, the employment rate for high school graduates is extremely high. Four out of every five high school graduates have already found jobs. Although their salaries are lower than those of university graduates, most Japanese companies operate on a seniority-based system, where salaries increase with years of service. Therefore, they don't earn significantly less than university graduates.

In addition, tuition fees at Japanese public universities are around five million yen, and tuition fees at private universities are around eight million yen. Furthermore, scholarships during university studies are student loans that must be repaid!

As a result, every year some graduates go bankrupt because they can't repay their student loans, even though some of the girls have gone so far as to work part-time in sex shops. Frankly, it's outrageous. (This is true.)

Even under such circumstances, getting into university is still very difficult. Therefore, high school students should really focus on studying instead of spending their time working to earn money.

After all, if your family isn't well-off, well, you'll have a lot of part-time jobs to do during college!

However, upon hearing He Chen's words, Xing Nan Songzhi's lips suddenly trembled, and then she burst into tears:

"Waaaaah, I don't have a mom and dad anymore!"

Ok? !

He Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

Then, through Anzu Matsuori's intermittent and incoherent narration, He Chen roughly learned the whole story.

It turns out that when Anzu Matsuori was on holiday at home this winter, her parents had an accident and both died.

Unfortunately, because her parents were at fault in the accident, the actual amount of compensation paid was very small, less than seven million yen, which is less than four hundred thousand yuan.

In addition, the funeral expenses for her parents also require money, so Anzu Matsuori currently has less than five million yen left, which is less than three hundred thousand yuan.

That's why Anzu Matsuori worked so hard this semester. If she didn't work so hard to earn money, she would only be able to spend the pension that was barely enough to cover her tuition!

Well, some people might ask why banks don't earn interest.

曰本银行的存款利率是：3百万日元之内存款1个月0.004%，6个月0.004%，1年0.004%，3年0.005%，5年0.005%；3百万日元以上-1万万日元如下1个月0.004%，6个月0.004%，1年0.004%，3年0.005%，5年0.005%；1万万日元以上就不讲了，当时同样没好到哪里去。

There's no extra percentage sign or two extra zeros here. Based on bank interest rates, even if Anzu Matsuori deposited five million yen in the bank for three years, she wouldn't have an extra five-hundred-yen coin.

In fact, she rented a cheaper apartment after returning to Tokyo this year.

This single room was not only cheaper than the place she stayed before, but it was also the cheapest room in the building. That's why, when He Chen first started causing trouble—oops, I mean when this god He Chen appeared—Xing Nan Songzhi was relatively more accepting of it.

Under such circumstances, the girl was naturally focused on getting higher grades in order to earn more scholarships.

After all, high school scholarships are gifts, not loans. With this extra money, the girl will have more money to spare next semester and can focus more on her studies.

"what......"

He Chen truly hadn't expected that the girl, who was usually so sunny and full of witty remarks, had actually reached such a state.

Perhaps it sounds much more mundane than a terminal illness, but it is precisely this situation—desperate yet not entirely hopeless—that is the most agonizing.

At such a young age, they have to find ways to support themselves while attending school and try their best to maintain a positive attitude. It's really not easy.

"It's okay, I'm here for you, your life will definitely get better!"
