Chapter 53: Let Lornis Take Over

Romon's ears were filled with Janice's prayers and his eyes with the towering statue of the Goddess of Wisdom, but his mind was occupied with the Simulator Blueprint.

He kept a close watch on his [Culture] stat—if there was even the slightest fluctuation, it meant the professional ritual was working.

One second passed. Two seconds. Three… A full minute went by before Janice finally recited the perfect closing words to her prayer.

And then—

The [Culture] stat, which had been stagnant, suddenly jumped by 10 points.

"Gained 10 Culture!" Romon rejoiced inwardly. It wasn't a huge number, but it proved the ritual actually worked.

With this in mind, why not simply hire people to build a full temple to the Goddess of Wisdom? Staff it in three shifts, day and night, with prayers offered up around the clock?
