Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Evolved Mankey

The Mankeys all looked at Michael with confusion painted on their faces. For them, water was even more precious than gold. People died in the desert just to get a few drops of water for their family. But now, Michael wanted to give them all the water they needed. For free. Any person would be confused when someone wanted to give them a bar of pure gold without asking for anything in return. "We will pay…for the water…with our lives…" They thought that Michael was someone who simply had a large stock of water in reserve. They thought he was just one of those extremely fortunate beings who was able to witness rain and store it for themselves. "Don't worry. I can have all the water I need," Michael said as he raised his hand and manifested a ball of water in his hand. Upon seeing this, the yellow Mankeys prostrated themselves even deeper. "Sorcery! Water - Bearer!" "We become…slaves for…sorcerer…in exchange for water!" Michael felt sorry for these Mankeys. As a species, they lived at the very bottom of the food chain. They felt as if they couldn't offer anything to Michael aside from giving him their lives. Unlike most monsters and demi - humans they didn't have talent in any magic, which meant that their species had absolutely no chance of harnessing the power of the mana elements. But Michael didn't think they were completely useless. After all, he had heard of a species who didn't have any magic and was able to become the top species of the world with nothing but their intelligence and innovation. It was the humans from his previous life! Michael knew that Mankeys had the same potential as them. He just had to give them the opportunity. "Benevolent being…we are…at your service!" "Yes…we will do…anything…" Even if it meant slaving away in the heat of the sun, they were willing to do anything as long as they could pay for water. And in their desperation, one of the Mankeys walked up to Michael and bowed at his feet. In that moment of contact, Michael heard ChatJK2's voice ring out inside his head.
