He finally couldn't hold on any longer, and a wave of weariness washed over him. Ying Yi collapsed directly into Belldandy's arms.

"Ah..." Li Pu sighed and said, "I just feel... never mind..."

A scene of a character falling into a coma is indispensable in romance dramas, because appropriately adding such a plot can allow the male and female leads to have some very normal but slightly ambiguous physical contact.

Li Pu probably doesn't like this kind of formula; even watching it on TV gives him goosebumps and makes him want to complain. In reality...

Well, after all, Ying Yi really did a lot of things within his power.

I won't complain anymore. Let this guy enjoy Belldandy's lap pillow with regret.

"Humans need rest, Belldandy," Li Pu said to Belldandy, who looked particularly worried and was wasting Ying Yi divine power healing Yingyi. "Eating and sleeping are inherent to human life and are also basic needs of their bodies."

"So you don't need to treat him. He's not injured. He just needs to rest."

Chapter 368 I can't do this!

Belldandy is innocent, and so is Ying Yi.

On their very first night together, these two never considered the differences in lifestyle that would result from their racial differences. And the funniest thing is that their lack of consideration wasn't due to a lack of consideration for each other or selfishness.

They simply hadn't thought of it.

So Belldandy, who was in full energy and didn't need to sleep, met Ying Yi, who was too excited to sleep. The two counted sheep all night and nothing happened.

Belldandy can go a whole night without sleep without any problem, but Ying Yi can't.

Because he hadn't slept all night, his mental state wasn't great. Then, the series of events, coupled with his volunteering to help with the aftermath, pushed his fatigue to the limit. Finally, after learning the truth from Vivian, he peacefully fell into a deep sleep. He slept until the sun was setting before finally waking up.

"It's soft, smooth, and feels very comfortable..."

Ying Yi touched it; it was white, tender, and smooth...

"Huh?! Belldandy?!" Ying Yi start. He jumped up from the ground as if he had been electrocuted and then took two steps back frantically. His face was flushed as he looked at the bewildered Belldandy and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Regarding this...

'I'm so jealous!' Li Pu looked at the two people over there, who were once again engrossed in their romantic drama, with a hint of jealousy.

Damn it, I have to stop this! At this rate, I'm already stuffed from eating all this PDA! Seriously, getting involved in this romance anime was a huge mistake. Even though I didn't make that choice willingly.

But stop feeding your dog dog food.

"Although I don't want to interrupt your sweet nothings," Li Pu decided to break the ice, saying, "We need to face two issues next."

"First, what do we eat tonight? Second, where do we stay tonight?" Li Pu looked at the two of them expressionlessly and said, "I don't know if Belldandy needs to eat, but I do. Secondly, if we can't find a place to stay, we'll have to sleep on the streets tonight. Personally, I don't want to sleep on the streets."

Although Li Pu was using the character Belldandy, the issue of hunger was still present; she couldn't replenish her energy by simply sleeping like Belldandy.

If eating can't solve the problem...

Li Pu didn't want to become the first transmigrator to starve to death.

"Ah~ Ah~ This..." Ying Yi's face immediately broke down; money was always a problem. With the little money she had left, she really had to choose between finding a place to sleep and eating today.

This...

"This is all the property I have left." Ying Yi also felt her stomach growling with hunger.

Thinking back, he realized he hadn't eaten a single bite since morning. He counted on his fingers and said, "If it's three people living together, Belldandy can share a room with Vivian, then at least two or more rooms are needed. And the food expenses for three people are considerable. Just this amount of money will be a problem whether it's renting a place or eating."

"Is that so?" Belldandy looked at Ying Yi was looking dejected.

"Oh, right, Vivian mentioned that just now," Belldandy said. "The most essential thing for living in the human world is money. And humans need to eat, have stable housing, and so on."

Belldandy wasn't unaware of money; she knew it existed and its uses. However, she had no real concept of what money meant to her.

This is actually quite easy to understand. Whether it's God or a human, if it's not something you encounter daily, something that's constantly evolving and relevant, or even something that's part of your daily life and work, many people will experience similar phenomena.

Just as some people don't have an intuitive understanding of the length of a meter, so too does Belldandy.

Despite her lack of understanding, Belldandy wouldn't pretend to know, much less conjure up any money for Ying Yi. Goddess has Goddess own way of solving things.

"Let's pray," Belldandy said, pulling Li Pu along. "Let's resolve this through prayer."

"Huh? A wish?" Li Pu was a little confused; she didn't know what a wish was.

It seems Belldandy likes to use this most; when faced with problems that can't be solved directly in reality, she'll pray for unexpected help or solutions. Whether this is Belldandy's special ability is unknown.

But...

"Um... this..." Li Pu scratched his head and said, "This... I... I don't know how."

To be honest, her high knowledge level did give her a lot of advantages, but it was relative. There were still some skills Belldandy possessed that Li Pu didn't know!

For example, fulfilling wishes, healing, and this thing called prayer.

Li Pu really didn't know how to make a wish.

"It's okay~" Belldandy said encouragingly, "As long as you are sincere, good results will definitely happen."

"Vivian is Goddess too. As long as you pray sincerely, you will definitely get the result you want."

"So let's pray together!"

Chapter 369 This BUG Cannot Be Fixed

Making wishes is one of Belldandy's specialties.

Whether it's Belldandy's signature move is unknown, but Belldandy does use it in the anime. She uses it to make a wish when Ying Yi is facing seemingly insurmountable difficulties.

Although Prayer doesn't seem to have a very noticeable casting process like other spells, it is still very useful.

Basically, you'll get results immediately after using it, providing the most needed assistance to those in need under seemingly unreasonable but actually reasonable circumstances.

Only...

"I..." Faced with Belldandy's earnest gaze, Li Pu had no choice but to turn his face away and say, "I don't know how to pray..."

Theoretically, yes, but reality doesn't always follow theory. Your eyes may say you know it, your mind may say you know it, but if you can't do it, you still can't. Even if you have the potential to know it, you still can't do it now.

"Huh? Vivian doesn't know how?" Belldandy said, seemingly surprised. "I thought Vivian knew how to do this too."

"Haha~" Li Pu laughed awkwardly twice.

Who told you I only know this thing? Just because we look alike, we all have the same skills? Ah... okay, basically it's the same person who should know the same skills.

"But I just can't do it!" Li Pu said. "There's nothing I can do."

"Oh, that's alright." Belldandy didn't mean to mock anything; she was simply inviting Li Pu sincerely, saying, "It's a very simple ability. Vivian is Goddess too. As long as you pray sincerely, you will definitely receive it."

Seeing Belldandy's enthusiastic invitation, Li Pu couldn't very well refuse.

"Don't worry about anything," Belldandy said. "The Lord God told me that although Vivian is a combat-type, she also has other abilities. She can learn them with a little practice."

'A god?' Li Pu frowned slightly. How would a god know this? Does that mean that a god actually instructed Belldandy to teach her these things?

If so, why? If she remembered correctly, her identity seemed to have been directly arranged by the gods. Originally, Urd only wanted to obtain a fake document, using her special position within that system in the Heavenly Realm to temporarily place herself inside.

As a result, the Lord God directly granted him an official identity.

Even Urd was surprised.

So why is that? Li Pu never thought that the god was a particularly selfless person. This person, who rarely appears in the anime and comics, is someone Li Pu can't say he understands, but if he considers it from a common-sense perspective, then Li Pu must be useful to him. Maybe now, maybe in the future, but if all of this is regarded as some kind of investment, then the problem arises.

Why does he invest in himself, and what does he hope to gain from himself?

And is there some connection between him and the system behind him? From the little information we've gleaned about the system so far, it seems that the girl hidden behind the system has some special connection with this race.

Is this some kind of game? Am I just a pawn they're using in this game?

Of course, another possibility is that you are a pawn in their transaction.

Am I merely a pawn in this transaction, the focus of this game, the object of this struggle, or simply someone being invested in by a god? The situation feels both clearer and more perplexing at the same time.

Is there also a possibility that the system knows she is interpreting it when she is accidentally interpreting it?

So she deliberately added some slightly clear images to a bunch of seemingly regular gibberish to guide her judgment?

All of these speculations seem quite plausible.

It was truly chaotic, but within this chaos, clearer threads were emerging. Compared to her previous state of having no clue about the system and being completely unable to grasp it, she could now at least catch a glimpse of the system and identify people who might have some connection to it.

"Vivian?" Belldandy's voice woke Li Pu from his thoughts.

"Sure!" Li Pu didn't refuse anymore. Her main goal now was to learn Belldandy's skills. Since Belldandy was willing to teach her, it was better than her having to learn on her own.

"Then let's begin!" Belldandy said happily, clasping her hands together. "Let's pray!"

"Here are those who are confused. If they can hear my voice, please ignite a new flame of hope in their lives."

The prayer was quite simple, with a slightly cheesy feel, but not so cheesy that it would make you want to dig a hole in the three-bedroom apartment with your toes. Li Pu had seen the anime and manga versions, but after so long, he couldn't remember every detail.

Although I'm always a half-beat slower than Belldandy, I can at least read along smoothly.

Then...

Then nothing happened.

That's not entirely true; at least Belldandy's wish was quickly answered. According to the story, the little girl, who could be described as being blessed by the Goddess, was the first to jump out and invite Ying Yi dinner. Just the night before, she had accidentally lost her wallet and was afraid to go home for fear of being punished by her mother. Ying Yi only one who helped her, encouraged her, and stayed with her to find her wallet.

They happened to be eating at an outdoor KFC table next to the green belt when the girl with sharp ears heard what was going on and looked over curiously.

Upon recognizing Ying Yi, she greeted him, and then the girl's mother invited Ying Yi, Belldandy, and of course Li Pu to have a meal together.

Li Pu didn't even need to think that it was Belldandy's wish; it had absolutely nothing to do with his own wish.

However, on the other hand...

"It's really a bit unbelievable," Li Pu muttered to himself, holding a hamburger in one hand. "It's like I actually wrote a program, and then a bug appeared, but I didn't dare to fix it. This bug is the core of the program's operation."

"What?" Belldandy asked curiously.

"No~" Li Pu waved his hand and said, "I was just thinking about my prayer just now. It should be working, but I don't know what the result will be. It feels like the whole thing is built on a bug, so I have no idea what the consequences of this program will be."

"To give an analogy..." Li Pu looked up at the plane that had just flown by and said, "It's like writing a program to make a plane fly, but the plane is flapping its wings to take off."

Furthermore, he didn't know where the plane was ultimately headed.

"Hmm...that's a strange way of putting it." Belldandy seemed not to quite understand Li Pu's explanation.

'BUG? You don't know?' Li Pu was also a little confused. Belldandy shouldn't be unable to understand, right? She should know about BUG, right? Oh~ it's hard to say. The BUG in the Celestial Realm seems to be a six-legged rabbit that looks like a spider.

Thinking about it this way, Belldandy might not really understand her own explanation.

"To put it bluntly," Li Pu said, "The prayer is in progress, but the content and outcome are unknown."

"Huh?" Belldandy said, seemingly surprised. "Isn't this from Vivian's wish?"

"Huh?" Li Pu was even more surprised than Belldandy after hearing this, and said, "How could this be something I brought?"

Although her prayer program was activated, the driving force behind it was unknown, and the outcome was uncertain. One could even say she prayed solely for success, without any ulterior motives; she prayed for success solely to ensure her wish's fulfillment...

This... this could easily lead to a logical dead loop!

Are the two older sisters the older brother's brides?

Just as Li Pu was fretting about how his prayer seemed to be a bug and the unknown outcome, the little girl eating a hamburger suddenly interrupted Li Pu and Belldandy's conversation.

"Pfft~" Ying Yi over there had already sprayed the other person's mother all over.

"No, that's not it," Li Pu answered first. "I definitely won't. As for Sister Belldandy ... she still has a long way to go. But speaking of which, why do you have such thoughts, Xiao Sheng?"

It's one thing to talk about Belldandy, but why drag yourself into it?

"Because it's the first time I've seen clothes like this!" Xiao Sheng replied innocently. "It's the first time I've seen such fluffy clothes from a big sister!"

"Is there anything strange about that?" Belldandy asked, puzzled.

Is this what she usually wears? What's so strange about it?

"Ah... I forgot about it." Li Pu had just remembered the question and said, "Although there is a cosplay culture here, it is not uncommon to encounter people wearing strange clothes occasionally, but as everyday clothing, this does seem to be a bit unusual."

After arriving, Li Pu indeed forgot to consider this matter because of a series of events.

After listening to Li Pu's explanation, Belldandy carefully observed the clothes of the women around her and those passing by, and found that they were indeed quite different from her own. Mainly, the styles were vastly different.

"Then let's make a change." With that, Belldandy stood up.

'Change?' Li Pu stared blankly at Belldandy until purple light emanated from her body, at which point she remembered this whole thing.

Sure enough, it's been so long that even after watching the show, I can't remember all the details clearly. And I don't think I have Belldandy's special ability to change clothes, so I forgot she had that skill.
