God of Internet [LitRPG]

04 - Development of the Internet

Since the Internet didn't exist, the gods didn't understand many of the concepts of the Internet that could be very useful for the development of believers and how it could be used to get more prayer.

The first thing I thought of was the unique experience I had when I went on a trip with the college team to South Korea and what the culture of cyber cafes was like, or as they called it there, PC Bang.

In that place, even if people had the money to buy a good computer to use at home, they still got together with their friends in cyber cafes to play together.

The feeling of playing with friends in the same place was priceless, and I thought about developing a way to get a lot of prayers.

Considering that Koreans pay the equivalent of U$1 to use the Internet for an hour in cyber cafes, couldn't I do the same for my deity?

As long as I could develop an Internet for mortals, I could easily charge them a prayer to use the Internet for an hour.

That way, if I could get the cost of running this Internet for my Divine Power to be less than 1 Divine Power Point, which is how much I get per prayer, I'd be making a profit!

Of course, the other gods only received 1 Divine Power point directly, since they had no cost per believer, while I would have to spend a fraction of Divine Power to make the Internet work for them, which would reduce my profit.

But there was an advantage, no one would use the Internet just once a week, or expect to need this God's Divinity to pray to Him, most likely people would set aside at least a few hours a day to use the Internet, which means several prayers every day from a single believer.

Even if the cost of operation was relatively high, I would still profit from the high volume of prayers I would receive!

The problem is... since what I was going to do wasn't a real Internet, I would have to develop a way to use my divinity and divine power as a server for this Internet in such a way that mortals could use it, as well as develop some interesting applications to get them interested in the Internet and make them want to continue using it as much as possible.

Since my main priority was to develop the Internet and a way to make a server for it, I left the idea of applications for later and concentrated on developing that.

So the first thing I did was to make a list of essential things to develop.

1 - Develop a very simple and intuitive interface so that even people from ancient times could understand everything very easily.

2 - Develop a way for the interface that appeared to one person to react in real time to what another person posted on their Internet, creating real time communication and a real Internet.

3 - Optimize all this so that the cost of this in divine power for me was as low as possible.

4 - Develop the applications that were initially available.

Fortunately, my dormitory had food, so I could concentrate in my room all the time while I developed these necessary items for the Internet, without having to worry about going out to eat or interacting with other young gods.

According to Adrian's old experiences, most of his experiences at this school were very bad.

The gods of this world, especially the gods of this school, were very selfish.

You only had value as a person if you proved to others how valuable you could be and how useful you could be in their lives.

Since old Adrian had none of that, was the last student in the class, had a weak personality, and was easily intimidated, few people took him seriously and treated him with respect.
