The Victory Building was located in the most central business district of Vila Nova Dônia. Every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
It had been quite some time since the Game Church took over from the people who left. The signboard on the first floor that said "Church of the God of Competition and Games" had already aged.
Yes, the current Game Church was now the Church of the God of Competition and Games.
In the world of Gods, changing the name of the church meant many things. This signboard was put up one and a half years ago. It also meant that Lori had taken over the Divine Concept of Competition and became a pure Level 3 God with two Divine Concepts.
The lower few floors were rented out for commercial use, but the upper floors were basically filled with people. A Level 3 Church was no longer a small fry. Having enough people was the most basic requirement.
"The weather is nice today. Let's take a walk."
Early in the morning, Rorschach jumped out of his office. His Hell Dragon companion was already waiting outside the window.
Yesterday, there was an assassination attempt on the city lord. Now that he received news of the Evil God's descent, it seemed that the city was going to be chaotic again. He wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't walk around.
Compared to two years ago, the Hell Dragon didn't change much. It was still a miniature dragon that was about three meters long. When standing up straight, it might not even be as tall as Rorschach (Ansorenne).
However, being small had its advantages. At least it was agile and swift. It didn't have to worry about breaking any laws or even having to apply for permission to take off.
In the city, all flying equipment and flying mounts that were smaller than a small one had to be reported. It also had to follow the annoying flight path. Rorschach's little dragon pet, on the other hand, could only be considered a miniature flying unit. It didn't have to go through any procedures … This was probably why bicycles in other worlds were more convenient than cars within certain limits.
The Hell Dragon was still a young and timid dragon. It was just that it looked a little dispirited now.
"… Did you pull an all-nighter again? Can't a dragon like you have a normal schedule? "
"If I did, I would have gone to sleep. It's all your fault. Boss, let me tell you. The Great Shang Dynasty's palace is really amazing. Why do they have to put such good TV shows in the middle of the night?"
"… In order to save money, VT TV Station made all the shows from several hundred years ago. That's because no one watches them."
Rorschach was helpless. He didn't know where he got it wrong. Why did he go astray when he finally managed to recruit a True Dragon as a companion?
Wasn't it normal in the past? She worked as long as she was given food to eat. Now, not only had she become a TV addict, she was also a fan of boring palace dramas.
[So what if it's a palace drama? Only you men are allowed, but not us Mary Sue's? Can't women have their own type of TV series that they like? This is sexism and outdated male chauvinism. You will be hunted down by the Paladins.]
Alright, Rorschach hit the nail on the head. For a moment, he forgot that his sister, who was in a special situation, had probably finished watching all the drama series in the Church's inventory. She especially liked those mushy misunderstandings and domineering CEO types.
"… The situation is different. Fate is a female dragon, not a woman …"
Rorschach still wanted to retort, but he soon discovered how foolish it was to try and reason with an angry woman.
[… So what if she's a female dragon? You're being even more racist! Can't a female dragon hope to be a Mary Sue? You'll be hunted down by the Beifeng disciples!]
"… This is even worse than the Paladins. I misspoke. Please spare me."
Rorschach shamelessly begged for mercy. He then turned his attention back to flying.
Fate was still talking about how shocking the previous day's story had been, how beautiful and intelligent the female lead was, and how ugly and retarded the antagonist was … Rorschach was quite worried that with his current mental state, he would crash into a tall building.
Rorschach's eyes scanned the ground, but it wasn't just for the sake of traveling. His talent for honesty often gave him additional benefits, such as spies and outsiders disguised as illusions.
In a way, patrolling the ground was already a daily job for him as a member of the city's board of directors.
"Did Lynn's descent fail again?"
[Yep, he failed again.]
"Even a Level 3 God isn't enough? Didn't he say that he was almost there when he was a Level 1 God? Then he said that he would be almost there when he was a Level 2 God. But now … "
[… I won't expose him when he's insulting me. At any rate, he'll definitely be almost there next time. Why did I think that he leveled up again!]
Rorschach shook his head. This was also a huge problem. Lynn's strange power level was progressing incredibly smoothly, but he still couldn't successfully descend.
The reason? At least on the surface, Lynn's leveling speed was even faster than Lori's inconceivable growth rate. Every time he wanted to successfully descend, he would mysteriously level up again.
If it weren't for the fact that Rorschach and Karwenz's talent for honesty always sent him sincere apologies, he would have suspected that Karwenz was doing this on purpose.
But if Lynn's descent still wasn't successful, then some things would become even more troublesome. For example, there would be an empty Temple Knight commander position and the Church's military minister position.
"Are we still going to let Isabella and Su Nanna serve as Temple Knight commanders? Our members have expanded again, and there are even many Level 3 job classes. Some of them are even beginning to level up to Level 4. They probably won't be able to teach us well."
[How about you continue to serve as a vice department head?]
"… No way. It's not like you'll give me an extra salary. Right, can I get my annual leave this year? I'm going to go sunbathe at Sand Beach! "
Lori disappeared without a trace as usual when she mentioned her failed annual leave.
"Tsk, Rorschach."
[… How did you know the nickname that your subordinates gave you?]
Alright then, Rorschach fell silent when he thought about how the editorial department was the same as Rorschach's, which didn't even pay him overtime.
Jokes were jokes, but some things really couldn't wait.
Even though the Game Church had become a Level 3 Church, the internal structure of the Game Church still hadn't changed. The only difference was that the name of the organization and the personnel were slightly different.
The Administrative Department (Political Department) was in charge of internal affairs and foreign affairs, including personnel and employment. Rorschach was a director of Vila Nova Dônia and also a vice department head. However, he had too many messy things on hand, so he didn't really care much about it.
This title was probably because of Brother God's identity. He would appear during meetings to prevent some people from getting too excited.
The Publicity Department (a subsidiary organization called 'Absolute Reality') was even more famous than the entire Game Church. Hermit was the executive vice department head (multiple scapegoats and professional coolies), while Rorschach was the department head and chief editor.
Rorschach was naturally in charge of this increasingly important battlefield of public opinion, even though he still didn't do anything most of the time.
The military department was very important. It had always been important. Everyone knew that it had always been important … Because of the long period of peace, there were people in the Church who wanted to reduce this department. That was why it had to be said three times to emphasize its importance. How could they think that the armed forces were meaningless just because there hadn't been a war for a few years?
The original plan was to have the extremely capable Lynn take charge of this department, just like Aishi's, but in the end … it was too hard for the able-bodied man. Su Nanna's injury leave and sick leave reports were even more than Rorschach's.
The logistics production never stopped, and there were also professionals to help with the business. However, there was one industry and tribe that didn't exist two years ago.
It was this new department and industry that allowed the Game Church to develop at an unimaginable speed and become a Level 3 Medium Church.
