Demigod Mage in America

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday, and schools and government offices are closed.

But the weather was not good; a blizzard froze all the roads.

As soon as Ryan got up, he saw Catherine shoveling snow downstairs.

"Why don't you just blow the snow away?" He rested his hands on the windowsill, leaned half his body out of the window, and looked at the policewoman below.

Catherine paused in her motion as she raised the shovel, her face instantly turning red.

She forgot!

Seeing this, Raine shook his head and instructed his servants to help her shovel snow.

Why did Catherine go to shovel snow? Because in free and beautiful America, the task of shoveling snow was shared among the citizens.

Citizens need to complete the task within 4 hours during the day after the snow stops, 14 hours from evening to night, and before 11 a.m. the next day from night to late at night.

You need to clear the entire sidewalk in front of your house, and it is strictly forbidden to dump snow on the road, otherwise it will cost $100.

If it is not completed, there will be another penalty, and this penalty is progressive, starting at $100, then $150, and eventually $350.

Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly became interested; he didn't seem to have ever shoveled snow before.

Before he time-traveled, he had never seen snow; after he time-traveled, he no longer needed to shovel snow.

Logically speaking, since Ryan was a tenant, he should also be required to shovel snow, but Catherine seemed too embarrassed to ask him for help.

When Ryan came down to shovel snow, the policewoman looked embarrassed.

"You've been promoted, how come you're still acting like a student?" Ryan's tone was somewhat sarcastic, making Catherine blush even more.

As someone who made a significant contribution to this incident, Catherine was promoted to sheriff, a position that normally takes at least five years to attain, but which she easily obtained.

In other words, she and Sheriff Raymond are now on equal footing.

"I...I've only been out for a short time." Catherine tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and stared at Ryan's retreating figure as he shoveled snow, momentarily mesmerized.

Raine, of course, was unaware of this. He was currently experiencing a sense of novelty; having lived for so long, this was the first time he had ever shoveled snow!

With a shovel on the left and a shovel on the right, they were busy having a great time.

Before long, Renn cleared a space in front of the door.

Next door to Catherine's apartment was another apartment building, but it was a single-level building, where a couple lived. The wife had a hot and sexy figure, and the husband was tall and strong.

"Brother, you're really in great shape," the husband couldn't help but say, having already tossed aside the shovel in his hand and leaning against the wall, panting heavily.

For the better part of half an hour, Ryan shoveled snow without taking a break, without even breaking a sweat, and with his back straight.

He had to stop shoveling snow after 10 minutes and find a place to rest for a while.

In the United States, a large number of people are hospitalized every year because of snow shoveling.

Because the body's reactions are slower in winter, by the time you feel something is wrong, it's already too late to go to the hospital.

Therefore, experienced American residents usually take a break during their 5-15 minute snow shoveling activity.

There are people like Ryan who work like bulls, but those are usually athletes with athletic physiques.

But Ryan's physique doesn't look like that of an athlete at all; he looks more like someone who just came back from college on vacation.

"Your stamina is pretty good too." Ryan turned around and gave him a thumbs up.

For an average person, this guy is already pretty amazing.

The husband envied Ryan's physical strength, while the wife secretly stared at Ryan's face.

Especially when he saw his collarbone exposed from his labor, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

The only things she did when she looked at Catherine were envy and naked jealousy.

"Yeah, you're really fit. I envy your girlfriend." Her tone was tinged with jealousy.

Ryan just smiled after hearing this, but Catherine blushed deeply and wanted to explain that they had misunderstood.

But when he saw that Ryan didn't say anything, he pretended to be mute, only shoveling snow even faster.

She can control the four basic elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. Snow is naturally a water element, so when Catherine appears to be shoveling snow, she is actually making the snow climb onto the shovel by itself.

Then the wind blows the snow up, making it look like shoveling snow, but it's actually more like waving it in the air, though most people can't tell the difference.

Only Renn here is actually shoveling snow properly, oh wait, I mean, he's just playing around.

After the cleanup was finished, the wife next door kept turning back, hoping that Ryan would look at her, but his gaze remained elsewhere.

This made her somewhat disappointed, wondering if she was getting old, lacked charm, and had no appeal to young people.

What was Renn thinking about? He was thinking about his crickets—no, he was thinking about the games he saw on Steam yesterday.

It was discovered that many of them had something in their previous life, but not in this one.

The studio and its people vanished without a trace, just like fungi.

This made him want to try some other games.

Because the Holy Grail War is not yet supported by the coverage of his magic network; it will have to be covered to cover an entire city before it can be sustained.

His magic network can only cover half of East Harlem at most, unless he fights the Alien Holy Grail War.

But in that case, the returns would probably be mediocre.

Therefore, consider other game formats first, especially smaller ones.

The three clusters of faith power he had previously acquired were stored in his divine kingdom. Now he needed to expand the scope of his divine kingdom to the entire Manhattan, not just the appeal of his firm.

Once this step is completed, even if he is actually deployed to the army someday, Renn will not care.

His current subordinates are at most regional level, so it's hard to say who would have the upper hand against the army.

Not to mention, what he has always been worried about is the integration of superhumans and the military.

The power system in each world is unique, and in the worlds he traveled through, magic and faith were integrated into every aspect of life.

But the price was that while magical technology emerged, it suppressed mechanical technology.

A lighter? Why research this when there are inextinguishable candles?

Airplane? There are airships and teleportation portals right outside the door, why would you need to take an airplane?

People are more accustomed to relying on magic than mechanical technology, so there is naturally little fertile ground for development.

What about Earth in this world? Since both supernatural beings and technology exist, could someone combine the two?

What would happen if they were combined?

He knew nothing of these things, so out of a sense of prudence, he decided to strengthen the divine kingdom first before doing anything else.

Sigh, life is tough...

The Kingdom of God is too difficult to maintain. It's like buying a house in America. After you buy it, there's a property tax every year, and the tax gets more and more expensive over time.

Besides gaining faith to strengthen his divine power, Renn also needs to consider a way to make money.

David has been spending money faster and faster lately, and before anyone knew it, he had almost squandered the money that Ryan had won back through gambling.

Moreover, for Ryan, it's better to give cash directly than to try to get people to participate in the game willingly.

The allure of games is easy to resist, but the allure of money is much harder to resist.

But all of this is contingent on him having money!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Catherine.

"Officer, do you know any quick ways to make money?"

Catherine: ¿
