Chapter 2 Sketchpads, Pencils, and Erasers
One day two thousand years ago, the gods descended on the earth.
Since then, the legendary gods have come to the world one after another. People with luck have been selected by the gods for various reasons and have become enviable people of the gods.
The power system that people were originally familiar with began to change, and it was not until the new power system formed by the "skill tree" and "race origin" formed.
There are special bonds between God and man because of God’s chosen ones.
Ye Ran, who grew up alone in a slum, once yearned for it very much.
He knew many legends about the gods when they came to the world.
When Thor descended to earth, a large pool of thunder gathered in the sky, and twelve huge thunder pillars rose from the ground to greet him.
Goddess of wisdom and the goddess of war Athena was born, flowers bloomed in full bloom, and the mountains split into a road, with petals paving the way.
When the god of war, Ares, the scorching sun in the sky shone everywhere, and twelve golden lights accompanied him from the sky.
......
These legends are familiar to Ye Ran, and he also looks forward to seeing a god descend from the sky with his own eyes one day.
His expectations have come true.
Just three months ago, he was still living in a slum with garbage everywhere and broken bricks and tiles.
That night he sat on the windowsill and blew the cool breeze, and then he saw a brilliant light falling from the sky. He opened his mouth wide, waiting for the upcoming strange phenomena of heaven and earth.
But he did not see any abnormal noise, he only heard a strange "baji" sound coming from downstairs of his house.
Then he hurried downstairs and saw a little girl of eight or nine years old in the aisle downstairs.
Ye Ran swore that he would always remember that day, in a nameless aisle in the slums, he witnessed the entire process of the God of Love Fruiya falling to the ground...
"Oh, I said why can't God get along with your legs?"
Ye Ran squatted down and changed the bandage to Furuiya's calves.
The leg she broke when she descended to earth was actually almost gone two months ago, but one day she accidentally turned over and fell down while sleeping... The leg broke again.
Furuiya hurriedly scooped two spoons of fried rice into her mouth, took the pencil from the exit bag and drew a vivid crying face on the drawing board.
She is nine years old, but she can't speak yet. Although she is a little ugly, she is fluent in writing and drawing.
If it weren't for the strangeness everywhere in her body, Ye Ran wouldn't believe that this loli, whose physique is worse than that of a human little girl, would be a god.
Most of the gods have magical tools.
For example, Thor's hammer, the armor and sword of the goddess of wisdom Athena, and the spear and shield of the god of war Ares.
The God of Love Furuiya also has it. When she fell to the ground, she brought a pencil, an eraser, and a drawing board.
These three "artifacts" are of no use when viewed separately.
If used together, the traces left by her pencil on the drawing board can only be erased by that eraser, or... it is useless at all...
After knotting the end of the bandage, Ye Ran stood up and wiped his hands and said, "Fruiya, we have used up all our savings. We will stay at home tomorrow. I will go to work and take you out to play when we make money."
Ye Ran is an orphan. He has lived in a dark and slums since he could remember, living with disabled people waiting to die, pickpockets, beggars and useless people who are incapable of working. However, he has been self-reliant since he was a child.
Although no guild likes him, no god chooses him, and he can't stand the threshold of any big family's selection of people, he has never given up on himself.
When he was very young, he got up early and worked in the middle of work, helping others wash clothes, send emails, and carry bricks...
He has been seen almost all from Niwa Street to restaurants, post offices, and construction sites on Lanxie Avenue. Many people know this young man from a slum. His stubborn, resolute and unwilling to admit defeat have won him the recognition of many people.
Many people call him "Cockroach Life Ye Ran".
When he met Furuiya, he had already gathered two gold coins with "huge assets".
This is not a joke. For Ye Ran and anyone in the slums, this is a huge sum of money, enough for their expenses in the past year. You should know that Ye Ran bought so many medicines and food just after using dozens of copper coins.
Originally, he could buy a small house near a food street a little further away after working for a few years, and never get close to the slums again.
But Furuiya's arrival gave him the idea. In order to keep Furuiya away from the group of pickpockets and beggars, he used all his savings to buy this small room. Although it was less than 30 square meters in size, it was divided into Furuiya's bedroom, and there was no other space in his bedroom and kitchen.
Furuiya held the pencil next to the small bowl and wrote quickly on the drawing board: "I'll go to work too."
The drawing board on her neck that was larger than the chopping board was also modified by Ye Ran. The line that passed through the small hole in the middle of the drawing board was very short, and she hung the drawing board as if she was carrying a large shackle.
It is especially dangerous when sleeping. She always loves this painting board, and even if she sleeps, she has to hang it. If the painting board accidentally falls off the bed, her neck will...
In order to prevent her from being cut off in her sleep, Ye Ran lengthened the velvet much, at least twice as long as the height of her bed to the ground, and added the function of contraction.
Ye Ran said: "You are still young and have no place to dare to take child laborers."
"And, your leg, if you break the other leg, I will definitely laugh at you for a year, hahahaha..."
He couldn't help laughing.
Fu Ruiya wrote on the drawing board with dissatisfaction: "I will laugh and cry for you to see."
"Okay, I won't laugh anymore," he stacked two small bowls together and said, "Draw and read books at home tomorrow. If someone knocks on the door, don't open it. Remember our secret code."
Furuiya nodded obediently, and stretched out her fingers and made a "understanding" gesture.
Ye Ran picked up the bowl and was about to walk towards the kitchen and suddenly heard a "dongdong" knock on the door.
He couldn't help but become alert and gently put down the bowls and chopsticks he had already picked up.
It’s not that he was too careful, but that the public security nearby was really bad, especially at night, pickpockets, robbers and beggars in the slums frequently appeared. Three murders have occurred here in two years, and the prisoners have all caught them, but this did not reassure Ye Ran.
He knew better than anyone else how terrible things a person would do when he was extremely hungry.
"Who?" he asked in a low voice.
He glanced at the window quickly and then turned around and stared at the door.
A heavy voice came from the door.
"It's me, Brother Ye, I have good news to tell you."
It was the fat man who lived in a wealthy area.
