Chapter 32: The name in the streets

Ken’s popularity was increasing slowly and surely, but he needed more popularity in a short time. His pick was right open and he hit the ground several times and it shattered.

_Now we go on to step 2 of our plan._

Meanwhile, in Rombel, the rumors were going fast as the dust in the air. People gazed at the name "Ken" and another, and almost everyone was discussing about it.

At that time in the street, a man of the church shouted.

"It is the end of the world, it is approaching. Sell all your properties and give me."

Moli was walking in the street. She gazed to the left, to the right. There was Ken’s name almost everywhere.

At that moment, Ken stopped working and he spoke.

"It’s almost time to eat... So everyone should add speed."

They all nodded and in the next second each person raised his pick and hit the ground. Metallic sounds were heard. Everyone was motivated to work harder to eat the meal.

At that time, Ken coughed and he put his pick on his shoulder and whispered.

"24 hours... There is still time... I can even steal time."

Immediately, the system popped a blue luminescent screen toward his gaze.

[95 days left]

[499,790 points left]

At that moment, he scratched his head.

I didn’t know it was that many points left.

He breathed out slowly.

On the other hand in sector 2, for the normal workers, the commander of the sector and the twin sister of Moli called Noli walked into the firm. And she heard something interesting, and moved toward the two workers who were discussing. She approached them with a smile.

"What are you two talking about? I’m interested."

The worker gazed at her and rapidly moved up with his friend. Then said.

"We were discussing about a group or person known as Ken..."

Noli was still lost and she folded her arms together.

"Develop."

He continued explaining. After they finished they were walking fast out of the firm to speak and they instantly froze. Noli turned slowly toward them, and she walked slowly toward them. As she was close to them.

"Why were you two late?"

The two workers swallowed their saliva. At that time their throat was dry. Then her eyes widened and they stared at her. As they did so, she smiled and said.

"The next time if you two are late you will get it hot."

They nodded and dashed to the gate which was opened. The two were the latest.

After that, far away, Noli saw her sister Moli coming toward her. Noli walked toward her. Moli spoke.

"Are you occupied?"

Noli replied.

"No."

Moli grabbed her hand and they walked together. Moli and Noli talked about everything and nothing.

After they went to a tavern out of Rombel, for the normal workers. A group carried the others, cracked. They did so orderly.

[Main quest: Points left 499,780]

Meanwhile, at sector 1 everyone did everything. At that moment the sun was at its peak above Ken. His sweat ran down his face and dropped to the ground. It evaporated. The heat of the sun was intense. Almost all of the workers were tired.

Ken sat down for a few seconds.

Ken walked slowly backward. Even though they were exhausted they still continued. All the hits they gave were charged with motivation.

As Ken saw that he whispered.

"Here everyone knows how to work."

At once his facial expression darkened and he stood up. A purple light shone in his eyes. And he picked up the pick. He placed one of his legs on the rock. And spoke to the crowd working.

"Today we must finish all this."

They all shouted and in a few minutes, the silence settled. Everyone was at work, even the VIPs. As he saw that he smiled maliciously in his mind.

I’m reducing my work. It’s always better to be an employer than an employee.

The people were on adrenaline. Their bodies were wet and sticky on their skin, and the heat dried the clothes on them. The irrigation path was at 93%. They could see the river near them.

At that moment, Ken said in his mind.

We must finish this thing today.

The others’ vision was fading away. The other fell to his knees, his hand trembling, the palm peeled off. As he saw that he bypassed them all.

"It is the role of the king to show the way."

Immediately, his buff activated and his body shone with light. He shone with light in fury. He stretched his arms and hit the ground. THUG

Each hit was so powerful, rapid and accurate.

And they finally reached near the river and Ken opened the way and the water flowed into the path.

Everyone shouted and all were impatient to eat.

Robert walked toward him, and touched Ken’s shoulder. As Ken gazed at him he spoke.

"I think we need to take a rest for now."

He nodded and the bell rang. It was time. Almost all the workers left the way for him to pass.

At that time Ken was reasoning how he would make money.

For poor people like us money is power. A useful item in daily life.

They reached at the gate. Even some VIPs stopped and let Ken enter first.

Maybe I really messed up this time... But I feel this is how a king is, right?

At that moment, Ken didn’t actually feel happy nor sad. He had too many points to earn in 95 days. He was lost in his mind. Then Lily grabbed his arms, and said.

"What are you doing? Everyone is waiting for you."

He smiled and they moved toward the table. Liz was also there to help and Bil raised his hand and he spoke.

"I can also help with the distribution... If you need help."

At that moment, everyone was shocked that he said that.

Immediately another person said the same.

Ken was afraid. He looked at the bread and saw it was the same as before. He was shocked.

"How is this possible?"

He gazed at Liz. She folded her arms and said.

"Everyone enjoyed the bread. It will be a complete mess if you did that."

Ken whispered.

"Thanks."

Liz smiled and then said.

"But I’m the first to take a bread."

She took it as a normal bread. As she touched it and hit it on the ground, the ground shattered and everyone whispered.

"She was cursed by the bread."
