Chapter 26: The VIP Battle

The VIPs’ work. There are 5 VIP workers, and the only person that he knew as a VIP was Bil. At that time, he reasoned out.

Can I win him in this state?... Mmm I can say 45% to 55% chance to win him... Yeah he’s in that range... SO I MUST TAKE THE PLACE OF ANOTHER TODAY... I’M SICK OF ALL THIS.

He walked toward the workers. And he shouted.

"I want to take the place of a VIP worker. So if you are a VIP come near me. Let’s put an end to this shit... I’m done with it."

There were gazes which stared at him, almost in all the directions. In the crowd, no one moved. Some smiled, the other folded their arms in curiosity.

Then the lady with the black skin moved toward him, and the crowd gave way. She gazed at him.

"So you want to be a VIP worker?"

Ken made a step toward her, and with confidence he said.

"Exactly."

She held her hips.

"Okay, tomorrow morning."

As he heard that he responded.

"No, I want it now!"

The lady refused and walked away. As Ken walked toward her, the crowd led the way to a man. A man was with his hands in his pockets and the other holding a pick clutched in his hand. He walked toward him slowly and surely. As he got close to him he said.

"You can try to take my place... Today, now if you wish."

Ken turned without saying a word. The crowd stared at him, and the others started talking.

"Are you afraid? So you don’t have the courage to battle with a man like you..."

As he heard all the nonsense, he stopped, froze, he stiffened and he turned toward the voice he heard. He stared into his eyes. His eyes flicked twice in a purple light color.

Then Ken gazed at him and he stepped toward him. The two approached each other. Then Ken said,

"I will do it and we will work the place I was supposed to do alone, together."

Ken sent a hand, but Bil stared at him, and threw his pick upward and wiped his left ear with his smallest finger. The pick turned twice upward and then fell down under the influence of gravity, and he caught it in the air. And replied to Ken with a smile.

"I accept... Prepare yourself because I have no intention to lose."

Ken grinned, and made steps again towards him. Their eyes were so close to each other. His eyes shone with light and he said with an intimidating expression.

"Me too I have no reason or intention to lose."

The words echoed in the two workers’ minds. No one wanted to lose against the other. So the two carried all their material and moved to the place. The canal which was supposed to connect with the river was at 58%.

The others started working, mainly the people which were far behind the place. Robert was the referee. He stood in the middle of the two, behind them with 2 meters. Bil to his left and Ken to his right.

The place was completely silent. Only the sound of the wind could be heard. The atmosphere was intense and heavy, even though it had not even started.

The referee raised his hand, and the two workers raised up the picks and stretched their arms. As Robert rapidly moved down his hand they immediately started. The two hit the ground. It shattered. The fragments of the ground were projected in all the directions like projectiles. And the second hit was accurate. And theirs were the same. The fourth with more power. To the 10th and the routine restarted.

The two almost had the same speed, but Bil was a little bit faster than Ken.

Then both picks hit the ground simultaneously. And they took the spade, carried out all the small fragments and threw them away.

At that time in Ken’s thought.

Hahaha... He’s helping me in a way... For sure I will win the points... But I can’t lose against someone here.

Immediately, a blue screen popped near his gaze.

[You are a King]

Only that simple word was able to give him more power and motivated him more. A purple light moved out of him with a weak intensity. And all his hits were more rapid and powerful.

[THE ECCHI KING BUFF ACTIVATED]

Ken’s strength, speed, accuracy increased all at once. And at that moment, the balance turned. The difference in the work was monstrous. Each second, Ken was creating a distance between them. Ken was in front and Bil behind.

He gasped.

How can he be suddenly so fast... Me too I should increase speed.

He forced himself to do more.

Meanwhile, Ken saw his buff would disappear soon. Bil stopped at once as he raised his pick toward the sky directly, covering the sun. Veins traced on his arms to his forehead, and he hit the ground. The ground cracked up. He stared at it and he jerked forward and hit the ground, and did the same over 20 meters.

Ken stopped for a moment, confused.

"What is he doing?"

Bil turned toward him, and continued his work. He was faster than before.

Ken whispered.

"Will I lose?... No I can’t."

[Used 10 charisma points to use a buff]

He approved without hesitation, and immediately, the intensity of the light radiating from him increased. And at that time everyone saw something similar to magic. He finished it all rapidly and Bil was shocked and gaped and fell to the ground.

He lost his VIP place. And Ken was the new VIP.

At that moment, he fell down lying on the ground, meanwhile everyone was curious about what happened. And everyone was discussing about it.

"Was that magic... Can he use mana?"

Meanwhile our protagonist didn’t have a single drop of mana. A broken system.
