Seeing this, Lu Li turned around and entered the supermarket to buy an umbrella. He walked home with it held up.
Although divine power was omnipotent, he would never use it to block rain.
He still needed a lot of divine power to forge a divine ability!
As he walked to the park entrance, he suddenly saw a girl with waist-length golden hair sitting there, her head lowered, her expression gloomy, like a stray kitten.
Lu Li's expression moved, and he walked up to her: "Shiina-san, why aren't you home yet?"
Shiina Mahiru looked up, her gaze indifferent: "It's you. I just want to sit here for a while, Lu Li-san. You go home by yourself."
"Okay." Lu Li didn't force her, leaving the umbrella behind. "If you have anything, come find me. I'm looking for Familiars recently!"
With that, he turned and left.
"What a strange person!"
Familiar?
What is that?
Shiina Mahiru was a little puzzled, but she didn't think much of it. Thinking of her parents, she felt depressed again, and threw Lu Li's words out of her mind.
...
"I didn't expect that killing evil spirits would benefit me!"
Back home, Lu Li activated his mind, opening the light curtain, and saw that the divine power on it had reached 102 points.
Before, when Yotsuya Miko killed a weak evil spirit, there was no change in divine power.
But today, when Miko killed the giant evil spirit, the divine power started to increase. In one night, it had increased by two points. At this rate, he could completely forge a divine ability by burning divine power within ten years.
By then, he would be a true god.
Even if his puberty syndrome disappeared, this great power would not vanish.
Of course, ten years was still too long.
By then, puberty would have already passed, there were too many variables, recruiting more Familiars was urgent.
With more Familiars, he could naturally shorten the time to become a true god to within two years.
"I have to make Miko kill monsters properly." Lu Li thought, a smile appearing on his face. "I originally thought that there were no magic stones or drops from killing monsters in this world, it was useless to me. I didn't expect the world to give divine power, this is simply awesome."
“However, the issue of money still remains unsolved.”
With his current assets, it wouldn't last long.
And Yotsuya Miko, it's unlikely to count on her.
After all, Yotsuya Miko only had the Yin-Yang Eye, no other talent to make money.
"Should I open an exorcism agency?" Lu Li's mind raced. "Ordinary evil spirits cannot affect people in the real world, but powerful ones may be different. I can completely develop exorcism into a profitable business. In addition, I can also copy some light novels."
Lu Li didn't have absolute photographic memory, but he had divine power. As long as he had seen something, he could naturally replicate it with divine power.
Furthermore, replicating things that didn't involve the supernatural was quite cheap.
Opening his computer, Lu Li extended his hand to the keyboard.
The next moment, a document started running automatically, filled with densely packed text.
【The Cultivation of a Common Girl…】
There were characters from The Cultivation of a Common Girl in this world.
But it didn't matter, he could just change the place names, character names, and character backgrounds.
He spent a bit of divine power, and in a moment, a light novel was copied.
The sales of The Cultivation of a Common Girl were not high in the light novel genre, far inferior to Toaru Majutsu no Index and Sword Art Online. In his previous world, it sold about 3.5 million copies.
But it was good enough for testing the waters.
If the sales were similar, at a price of 500 yen per light novel, with an 8% royalty, at least 140 million yen before taxes could be obtained from 3.5 million copies. This could temporarily relieve his financial pressure.
Finding the email address of the editor of the Fudagawa Library, Lu Li sent the first volume of the novel, then started searching for various videos.
Cooking, archery…
For ordinary people, these videos are just for entertainment, but for a god, these things are precious skills.
As long as you brush through videos every day, you can gain extraordinary skills. Is there anything more satisfying than this?
…
The Yotsuya Residence.
Yotsuya Miko returned home, it was already ten thirty in the evening. She originally wanted to return to her room quietly, but as soon as she opened the door, she found that her mother and brother were sitting on the sofa.
"Uh… Kyousuke, Mom, why aren't you two asleep yet?" Yotsuya Miko said awkwardly.
Yotsuya Kyousuke looked worried: "Of course we're not asleep. Idiot older sister, you come back so late every day, how could we sleep?"
Speaking, his gaze fell on the treasured sword in Yotsuya Miko's arms, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Sister, did you go out to be a delinquent girl and chop people up at night?"
Yotsuya Touko was startled: "Miko?!"
Although the Yotsuya family was not a scholarly family, they wouldn't allow their children to become members of the yakuza, especially those at the bottom of the yakuza hierarchy.
"I didn't chop anyone!" Yotsuya Miko was speechless. "Kyousuke, Mom, don't worry, I didn't do anything bad."
Seeing that they didn't believe her, Yotsuya Miko's mind moved, and she said, "Actually, I recently made a boyfriend, so I have to be busy until late every day."
Yotsuya Touko was confused: "Then what about the sword?"
What do you need a sword for when you have a boyfriend?
"Because he likes kendo." Yotsuya Miko continued to prevaricate. "So I just have to practice with him."
Yotsuya Touko and Yotsuya Kyousuke breathed a sigh of relief.
Yotsuya Touko nodded, and then cautioned: "If that's the case, then it's okay. But Miko, you have to be careful, I don't want to be a grandmother so young."
Yotsuya Kyousuke chimed in, even though he was young, he spoke like an adult: "I don't want to be an uncle so young either."
Yotsuya-san's soul looked complicated: "In the blink of an eye, Miko has found a boyfriend, time really flies by!"
Yotsuya Miko's face turned crimson: "Mom, Kyousuke, what are you talking about!"
With that, she ran into her bedroom and hid herself.
Having children, that's too early.
…
Fudagawa Library.
"Headache!" Machida Sonoko rubbed her temples, made a cup of coffee, and continued to work. "What kind of garbage are these novels written?!"
Before she entered the workplace, she originally thought that reviewing first-hand light novels would be a happy thing.
But since joining Fudagawa, she realized that she was still too young.
Nowadays, anyone can write novels. Reviewing first-hand novels is not only boring, but it also raises your blood pressure.
Many light novel authors don't even know how to write basic sentences smoothly and express clearly, leaving her completely baffled.
Besides, there were plagiarized ones, bloody ones, nonsensical ones, all kinds of novels made her head almost split.
"Eh… The Cultivation of a Common Girl… not bad!"
Collecting her thoughts, Machida Sonoko opened a new email. She didn't regain her senses until she finished reading a volume of the book.
"This book has the potential to be a huge hit. I must sign it."
Looking at the contact information left at the end of the submission, Machida Sonoko was about to call the author when she saw the time in the lower right corner of her computer.
It was already one in the morning.
"Forget it, I'll talk to them tomorrow. It's too impolite to call at this hour."
PS: There are drafts, but the contract has not been approved yet, so I can't update regularly. I'll post a new chapter when I wake up tomorrow.
