In the dry place, as the sun was moving away and the night approached slowly, Ken looked at the water.
The vomit from the person was still dissolving in the water. There were too many microscopic organisms and bacteria in the water, inert or active, waiting to be taken in by a living organism as soon as he drank it.
He was about to drink the water when the system popped.
`[Highly infected water. Warning: You can lose charisma]`
He moved away from the water.
There were two options left. And he knew it.
Then he started to use his brain. A pounding ache started due to his too low intelligence, which was far below what he needed.
Why is my brain doing this.. Is this only common reasoning right?.. How can I purify this water source without enough efficiency
He looked around the place. He saw only dry wood and small stones.
`[Your intelligence has increased by 0.5]`
Increased by 0.5? What is this shit, there’s even a decimal place
Immediately, he jerked toward the dry tree. Kana looked left and right, as if something was wrong.
Meanwhile, Ken was near the trees.
The only way is to boil the water and then cool it.. I’m the ECCHI King so
He punched the tree.
Thud
He thought the tree would fall or break. He slowly moved his hands away from the tree and held it. It turned red.
So I’m just a normal person that has nothing special apart from a system that is not of great use now.. If I had only read volume 1 everything would be much easier
He climbed the tree and broke branches repeatedly and threw them all to the ground.
On the floor, Kana shouted.
"I think that’s enough!"
Ken nodded and jumped down the tree, and *shattered* the ground. Dust moved away.
Ken smiled a little even though his legs were trembling.
He made a fire and burned the firewood. A huge flame was created, burning the wood rapidly.
Kana and Ken were near the fire but after a few minutes, they moved away because of the intensity of the flames.
At that time, an idea flashed in his mind. He woke up immediately, and walked away from her. He started carrying the water into the container.
As the wood burned completely, Ken removed the charcoal from the fire and poured water on it. Vapor moved out of it.
At that time, Kana walked toward him.
"What will you do with the charcoal?"
Ken turned toward her and smirked.
"What, that type of smile?"
Ken laughed a little and held his forehead.
"I want to filter and purify the water.. The water shouldn’t lead us to our death, right"
Kana nodded and she started doing the same as him, removing the hot charcoal and cooling it with water.
Then he tore parts of his clothing. And he took sand.
They took an empty container and put charcoal, sand in each layer, and his cloth.
Then they poured the water inside the filter.
As it filtered, he took it and drank a little.
I feel better now
He lunged to his right. The fire was still burning.
Why not
Then he boiled it all.
And he carried all the containers and walked away with them.
The night was falling and still he hadn’t gained any charisma points.
They were walking together and then Ken remembered after an hour that they didn’t have any torch for the night.
Should we still go back there.. And what if I had mistakenly burned it
Kana carried two containers as Ken walked and got close to her.
"I can help you carry your container!"
Kana slowly looked at him. And she *blinked* her eyes twice.
"OK, as you say"
She then gave all the containers to Ken.
He carried them all on his body.
SYSTEM GIVE ME POINTS HURRY UP
He walked with them for hours. Each time as Kana turned behind and *gazed* at him.
He looks okay, alright.
But as she looked in front, all the fatigue he was hiding was released.
Then in front of them, there was a beggar on the road.
He was like blind. He was hitting a plate for everyone to give what they had.
As Ken saw him, he said instinctively.
"Again a scammer"
She heard what he just said and she laughed for a few seconds.
`[You have gained 1 Charisma point]`
Behind her, Ken smiled with satisfaction.
This is still the beginning of my own story
The system popped a notification above his face, and he looked at the screen.
`[499,998 points left]` `
[Charisma points: 2]`
499,998 left is much.. That’s more than what I can count with my hands
He froze and stared at the beggar. His eyes were like a predator looking at its prey.
I will try to see if this is a good or bad scammer
At that time, Kana was about to throw a coin on his plate.
Ken jerked and snatched the coin.
The old man didn’t speak nor whisper. He was blind, as he said.
Ken saw his plate and there were silver coins inside it.
He rapidly tried to take the coin but the blind man perfectly grabbed his arm.
Immediately, he threw the coin in his hand on the ground.
The man’s head moved exactly in the direction of the coin.
At that time, his lips curved slowly and he attached a malicious smile.
And a little purple color moved out of him.
"You scammer! How many people have you scammed?"
Immediately, the blind man’s body stiffened and he slowly lifted his head toward Ken.
Their gazes met.
But in the blink of an eye, the old man sprinted
At that time, Kana *blinked* twice. Her vision of old people was that they were fragile, weak.
Meanwhile, Ken folded his arms together.
"Only the heart of a bandit beats"
He turned toward her.
"See what did I just say before? That he was a scammer"
Kana nodded, and she pointed at the containers.
Ken made an odd sound with his mouth, carried them, and they walked together.
