Chapter 36: THE FERTILIZER ARMY

Ken and Bil had one win and one defeat. The two opponents both smiled and Ken lent him a hand and he woke up stumbling. And breathed out slowly.

"I’m tired but... Next time I will not fall down and still win."

Ken smiled a little, and then he said.

"That can only happen in your dreams."

Ken stared at him. His eyes shone purple light, and their gazes met. At that moment, the both smiled.

The crowd was still behind them watching, and Moli walked away. She was still angry. It was the first time a man had the audacity to do that to her.

_K, E, N... Ken!!.. I won’t forgive you that easily.. I will make you pay for this.. It’s a promise._

She moved out of the place.

After that, Ken spoke.

"Now is time for work. To fertilize the land. The first thing the ground needs is nitrogen and other substances.. So everyone take all the rotten raw material that can decompose. That will be our fertilizer."

At that moment, someone said.

"The best fertilizer I know is shit, so where can we find that in sufficient quantity to mix up with the soil?"

Some workers thought.

"The toilets... No.. No."

And the others thought about something else. The place was noisy, as Ken clapped his hand twice. The silence settled.

His face became more serious and he said.

"There is only one way. Use our organic waste.. That’s the best choice for now."

Ken walked around, to his left, right, his arms folded behind his back. He stopped and stared at the crowd.

"So we will need people that will help us properly in doing so... Who wishes to be a volunteer?"

At once everyone flinched and stepped backward. At that time, Ken bent his head to the ground.

I’m sorry for you all but I need points so... I must be rich and be the richest here.

Then, the sunlight was covered by the clouds. Then he slowly moved his head and the clouds moved away from the sun.

He raised a hand up.

"There is only one way to do what I said before possible... Is that everyone go to work!"

Everyone ripped a little part of their clothing to cover their faces. Then, 50% carried the shit and the rest mixed it up with the soil.

At that time, the odor of the place was intense. It was so much smelling but everyone needed to endure it. Some vomited, and others adapted quickly than the others.

Ken was mixing it up, then:

Fuck... This is more... Than.... No, focus. Stop thinking.

[USE 20 CHARISMA POINTS TO BE IMMUNE AGAINST ODOURS]

He immediately clicked on the option and suddenly, the unbreathable odor turned into fresh air. That was so strange even to him. He breathed in and out, twice.

It’s really working.

At that time some workers stared at him, gasped and they started coughing.

The boss is a non-human for sure.

As that happened, he turned and gazed to his right. He saw some workers who spied at him. Ken felt weird, and he put on his mask once more. He started mixing the shit with the soil properly, and rapidly.

After they finished, they poured water on the places they mixed, and continued working.

And suddenly, the bell rang and almost all workers spoke.

"I can’t eat today... If I do I will vomit it all.. But can I really stay without eating?"

Meanwhile, Ken had his pick on his shoulder, and stared at the horizon with the sun directly above him.

I’m coming. I will definitely grab all the points.

He smirked, and walked with the others toward the gate. At the reach the yard, some only drank water. The others ate the bread properly without any problem.

Even though Ken didn’t spend anything, it was just the normal bread they ate, but at that time, everyone’s main focus was to not think about the work.

Meanwhile Ken knew even with what happened he must eat Lily’s food. And he approached her. Some workers left the way, and he saluted Lily.

"Hello, Lily. How are you?"

Then she replied.

"I’m good and you?"

He smiled.

"I’m now fine thanks to you."

She smiled and laughed a little.

"If you say so."

Ken approached close to her, and he was about to touch her face and then immediately, Lily’s mother spoke.

"What are you doing to my child?"

Ken replied,

"There was something on her face."

Then she wiped her face, and Lily gave her a plastic box. Then he held it.

"Thanks for it."

At that time, Liz took her bread with plastic and she touched it. It was still soft as some. And she whispered.

"Bread."

The next second the bread became hard. Then she felt disappointed, then she ate her food, her meal.

Then Ken stared at her.

"Is she also among the VIP?"

A worker stopped beside Ken and nodded.

"She is actually among them, but she always tests her luck with bread."

Ken nodded and spoke.

"Thanks for the information."

He walked toward her. Liz gazed at him, and said.

"See in which state some workers are. The others are not even capable to eat. The others have vomited and others are enjoying as usual."

Ken sat toward her, and as she moved away, he approached her. As she did once more, he did too.

Ken then said,

"Liz... I will need your help in many other things and thanks in advance... Maybe one day I will break your curse and you will eat the bread you love so much."

The word, bread, echoed in her mind like a ringtone.

So there is a possibility to remove the curse.

She widely opened her eyes and stared at him.

Ken replied in his mind:

It is possible because there will be a time I will be a big boss. A king.

At that time, he lent a hand to Liz. She stood up.

And he spoke.

"I will be the leader and you the money keeper."

Then he removed a small bag of coins, took out some coins and gave the rest to Liz, and walked away.

Suddenly the bell rang.

"It’s time to return to work."
