[I hope so...]
Motan knelt on the soft cushion in front of the statue of the goddess, feeling somewhat uneasy. This unease was not from himself, but arose from other worries...
However, nothing unexpected happened. The instant he closed his eyes, a gentle and ethereal voice resonated in his mind...
"My grace will be with you, child. Are you willing to become my representative in the mortal world, disseminating my glory and defending my dignity?"
[Do you agree to become a believer of the Goddess of Dawn, Pake Xi?]
[Reminder: There will be a high cost for apostasy]
"Yes."
Motan answered easily. His current personality didn't mind becoming a believer of anyone. From all aspects, he was someone who would go with the flow, albeit without any ambition or persistence, nor did he have as much personality as his other personalities. Nevertheless, it was due to these traits that he could easily fit into society, just like any ordinary twenty-year-old.
Choosing the Priest as his base class was also because he preferred to be in a safe environment where he could interact with others rather than striving to become a hero or a legend by himself. This preference not only improved his survival ability but also made him always in demand, whether among NPCs or players, as a healer~
From this point, it could be seen that Black Fan, who was one of Motan's multiple personalities, acted more like someone playing a game.
[Congratulations on becoming a believer of the Goddess of Dawn, Pake Xi. Your faith value has been fully unlocked]
The system message came as soon as Motan's voice fell.
[Your priest class has been upgraded to level 2, current experience 90/150]
[Unlocked Items Pictorial Book, Character Pictorial Book, Story Pictorial Book]
['Church of the Dawn' has been added to the Pictorial Book]
Motan didn't get up immediately, but instead slightly opened his eyes to check his updated status.

It must be mentioned that as a seasoned... veteran player with rich gaming experience, Motan was somewhat dumbfounded when he first saw the 'Holy Healing Technique' skill. After all, he was just at level two~
But when he opened it up to take a look...

Three letters popped up in his mind, but it was not appropriate to say it at the moment...
However, after reviewing his attributes, Motan was still quite content and nodded his head. He got up, gave a slight bow to the cheerful priest beside him, and said, "Thank you."
"Don't mention it, child." The priest handed him a thick scripture, "This is your scripture, don't forget the teachings of the goddess no matter where you go."
Motan took it and, as expected, this book was really an item.
[Scripture]
Weapon Category: Off-hand
Quality: Common
Attack Power: nil
Attribute: Wisdom +1
Equipping Requirement: none
[Note: Firstly, it would be strange if this thing had attack power; secondly, it's just a book. What kind of equipping requirement were you expecting? Can you read?]
After reading this spite-filled note, Motan rolled his eyes. After thanking the priest again, he prepared to leave but...
"Wait, lad." The priest stopped Motan who was looking slightly puzzled, and extended his hand with a smile, "The standard religious text costs 1 silver coin a piece, just give me the cost price, 20 copper coins."
...
When Motan stepped out of the church with an extra book, a new belief, one level higher, and 20 fewer copper coins, it was already dark. He didn't know whether to lament about being charged for the scripture or the astonishing 400% profit margin. He pondered for a while and just felt weary in both mind and body.
Since Innocence World didn't have any main quests, Motan planned to go to the barracks to check in first and then just go with the flow and enjoy the game. He really enjoyed the game but he didn't have any specific objectives, at least not for now.
In a matter of minutes, Motan had arrived at the Stacked Rock City autonomous army barracks. After unconsciously taking a glance at his surroundings, he stepped forward and greeted the gatekeeper.
"New recruit?" A dwarf soldier clad in plate armor enquired with suspicion, "Got your dog tag?"
Motan nodded, took out the tag that the lizardman captain had given him from his small bag, and handed it to the soldier.
The dwarf soldier who seemed to be suffering from premature hair loss took the dog tag, nodded, and then threw it back to Motan, "Black Fan with the number 9527, eh? Go straight inside, turn left at the second door. That's where Fenrir team is stationed."
Motan, who had not paid much attention to the tag earlier, pursed his lips in disappointment. After briefly expressing his gratitude, he proceeded towards the main entrance. Once he was inside, he heard the voice of the dwarf soldier from behind, "You're a priest, right? I heard that Fenrir team is short of a priest. I like to make friends with healers. My name is Hephis Desak, from the Beaver team."
