Don't call me evil god

Chapter 186 Abnormal Phenomenon
As Maren arrived in the Misty Valley, Norman immediately launched several new tasks.

The first one was issued to Ray Wayne, asking him to go to Mullen to discuss the requirements and design a blacksmith shop with suitable specifications. Upon completion, he can obtain points as a task reward.

The next step is to add extra points reward to the [Build Blacksmith Shop] task to encourage the believers who are busy building houses to prioritize the allocation of manpower to build the blacksmith shop.

The advantages of modular construction are beginning to emerge.

After communicating with Malen, the design drawings were completed and standard modular building materials were ready.

Just select the required standard modules, assemble them together, and finally reinforce them, and the house is built.

It should be said that the current output of standard modules has exceeded the speed at which believers build houses.

There are many modular building materials that cannot be used after they are manufactured, but believers still make them simply to obtain point rewards for completing tasks.

After all, the magic of [structural stability] is indispensable when building a house. Now there are only two believers who have mastered this magic. If they are out of luck, they will not be able to build new houses.

Producing standard modules is much simpler and most believers can do it. It is the easiest job.

It’s not that others don’t have enough knowledge or can’t understand [Structural Stability].

But I haven't had time to learn it yet.

The believer who mastered the divine art took only one day from the time of exchange to the time of learning it.

Others also gritted their teeth and spent 100 knowledge points to exchange for divine arts, but after practicing the relevant knowledge for a whole day, they only made less than % progress.

If you keep studying, you will eventually learn it, but it will take more time and effort.

Now believers are gradually coming to understand.

People have different talents and characteristics.

Old Bill exchanged the knowledge of the Harvest Magic for his skills. After trying a few times as required, he advanced to 100% progress and completed the learning.

It’s not because this magic is simple enough, but because old Bill is good at this kind of thing.

In short, Nowen provides believers with the opportunity to choose.

They can find areas in which they are good at and learn.

Of course, you can also be stubborn.

Choose something that you are not good at but are interested in.

Anyway, the learning progress bar is there, and you can learn it if you grit your teeth and stick to it.

……

While the believers were exploring what they were good at, Nowen also discovered an interesting detail:

He discovered that among all types of knowledge, the most universal, or in other words, the knowledge that almost all believers could learn and could be called talented - was actually the knowledge of several professional routes!

When he first discovered this, Nowen subconsciously thought he had made a mistake.

Because this goes against common sense.

The mortals in this world are divided into clear classes.

The first level consists of mortals who do not know any divine arts, magic, or combat skills. They are the most numerous.

The second level is mortals like Ray Wayne or Maren who believe in non-professional gods. They master some divine arts and magic, but they are not on the professional route and have almost no combat ability.
The last third level is for a relatively small number of professionals, corresponding to the God of Radiance, the Goddess of Magic, the God of Wilderness, and the God of Shadow. By obtaining the divine arts or magic bestowed by them, one can embark on the path of professionals;
The warrior career path is sandwiched between the 2nd and 3rd levels, let's call it level 2.5.

Warriors who inspire anger and master combat skills have no corresponding belief in gods. Anger comes from self-exploration within mortals.

Overall, the population distribution of these three levels shows an obvious pyramid structure.

Ordinary people are the most numerous, and professionals are the least numerous.

At first, Nowen thought that this was because the blessings from God received by professionals were the most difficult to learn and master, so their numbers were the smallest.

As the territory in the Misty Valley was built, people like Old Bill and Ray Wayne who mastered non-combat magic appeared among the believers. Noven discovered that the situation... seemed to be exactly the opposite of what he expected!

The knowledge of the professional route, whether it is magic or divine arts, can be learned as long as the believers' basic attributes meet the requirements and they are exchanged for the corresponding knowledge and are willing to put in a certain amount of effort.

Although there is a difference in overall mastery efficiency, the gap is not particularly huge. Those who learn quickly can master it within 5 exercises.

For those who learn slowly, practicing a dozen or twenty times is enough.

On the contrary, when it comes to things like the harvest magic and the craftsman magic, there are extremely huge differences between individual believers.

For example, Pete once tried to study the knowledge and magic related to building houses, but he spent a lot of effort and didn't make much progress in his learning.

According to the estimated progress, he will have to study hard for at least a year and practice thousands of times before he can master it!

The believer who exchanged for the [Structural Stability] magic mastered it in one day.

The gap is quite outrageous.

This made Novan confused.

"what is this?"

"Mortals all have innate professional holy bodies, and are naturally gifted with the ability to learn various professional skills?"

"Then why are there so few professionals in this world?"

……

What Nowen couldn't understand, the believers didn't understand either.

The reason is that not many people noticed this at all.

All believers can become professionals, and under the guidance of the "Doctrine of the God of Knowledge" promoted by Pete, the entire trend of thought has gone astray.

Everyone firmly believed that this must be the result of the divine blessing bestowed by the great god of knowledge.

In the past, they were unable to become professionals because they failed to receive the blessing of the God of knowledge.

This makes sense and is not unusual at all!
With the completion of Maren's blacksmith shop, the Misty Valley branch of "Dwarven Craftsmanship" was opened, and believers who decided to take the professional path and fight monsters came to buy or customize the weapons and armor they needed.

of course.

The currency used in transactions is not the traditional gold, silver and copper coins of the Reyak Kingdom, but knowledge points.

Maren had no objection to being paid in knowledge points.

The other casting magic arts he wanted to learn also required a lot of knowledge points, and the gap was still quite large.

This batch of weapons and armor was sold to other believers of the Church of Knowledge. In fact, Maren only earned a little bit of processing fees, and most of the knowledge points he gained went to Hugo.

Because the batch of metal minerals brought to the Misty Valley was purchased by Hugo from a mineral merchant in the Kingdom of Reyak.

Hugo essentially entrusted Malen to do the processing.

Maren was a little confused.

The raw materials were purchased with real gold coins.

What Hugo earned was knowledge points.

Although knowledge points are very useful and can be used to exchange for learning more powerful divine arts, they are only circulated among believers of the Church of Knowledge.

Hugo couldn't just go to those mineral merchants and tell them to use knowledge points to buy ore, right?

When Mullen raised his doubts, Hugo smiled cunningly.

"Hey, who said I only want knowledge points?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you!"

"Knowledge points! Gold coins! I want them all!"
