>there hasn't been enough world building and skill explainasion to say if it's stupid or not.
Whether it turns out stupid or not in the future doesn't matter because the author can write literally anything to make MC look like a 200IQ gamer anyway. The issue here is that the MC is fucking...
Really don't like hazing as a "test", getting beaten to an inch of your life seems like a really poor way to test someone.
They don't have much of a choice anyway, they have to keep an eye on him somehow given his role as a vessel. Might as well just train the guy first and try putting him in...

> Your 'drug dealer' doesn't care about cancer,
He does, but only mildly.
>and has no interest in actually dealing 'drugs'.
He's not against the idea.
@cor3zone
No I'm not. Their relationship is close to that of a powerful hopelessly drug addicted politician who owns the cure for cancer and the only drug dealer in the universe who knows how to manufacture a specific hyperaddictive drug, if that helps you visualize the power dynamic at play...

>Do you think they wouldn't punish Ninnir?
Not really, no. They seem to be close at a personal level and they already know that Ninrir is a bratty individual. She'll probably get a light scolding at worst.
>She has the position of power.
Nope. The MC does. She wants the sweets...

That has nothing to do with whether a deal can be flexible or not.

Because harm against their status and position as a leader is being leveraged against these...

Which would be a strict formal transaction guaranteed by the government, with appropriate documentation involved and appropriate penalties incurred if the terms of the contract are broken.
The deal here is a more personal (and implied to be...
@cor3zone
Your usage of "scummy" is hyperbolic. The gods never leveraged taking away the blessings in all the instances you mentioned IIRC. I don't even think they've ever done that in the series. Their deal wasn't particularly strict or formal; some level of flexibility could easily be...
@cor3zone
>That is scummy.
No. Hell no. Lifetime continuous payment of a few silvers a week for nigh invulnerability(which includes never getting sick, and never having to get dental) and an increase in magical abilities for is far from a scam. It is worth billions IRL, and certainly worth more...
@alidan
>he got minor benefits, which means more or less dick all
I disagree. Status nullification "as long as it is not things that have instant death effects, or very powerful curses" to quote the translation is absolutely huge. People would pay billions for that kinda shit. I don't disagree...

Chapter 33
『At this occasion, it is Ninril-sama’s mercy after reading your thoughts of wishing for a god’s blessing, however, she cannot give the same blessing that I have. Regardless of that, if it is God’s Blessing (small), it is possible to grant you if you offer the other world’s...
