Ma Lin was very satisfied with himself having become the God of Pancakes.
He also felt a great sense of pride.
Although his priesthood was obtained through "coattail-riding", it still granted him some special powers.
For instance, he could hear the prayers of distant believers.
"Great God of Pancakes, please let me have a full meal of pancakes."
He would decide whether to fulfill the wishes based on the devoutness of the believer.
For example, if a little boy who had been hungry for a long time wished for a pancake, Ma Lin could only help by slightly increasing his walking speed, so he could reach a pancake stall more quickly.
If the boy's faith was a bit stronger, Ma Lin could make the auntie selling pancakes feel more compassion and entertain the thought of giving the boy a piece of pancake.
If the boy had been a devout believer of the God of Pancakes for years, always reciting scriptures and offering tributes to Ma Lin, Ma Lin could make that auntie give him a pancake.
