Reincarnation A Gem
Chapter 7: A VISIT TO THE MOUNTAIN

As someone who still had more than a week before the school officially opened, Krystal decided to look for money because she would be busy after school started.

The map he bought from the mall showed many places where he could get some herbs that he could sell and eat, but the problem was that he did not have much knowledge on the topic.

So Krystal visited the bookstore, ever since she connected with the system, she never took anything from the bookstore. He wished that at least he could get the book for free since he did not have any crystals that he could use to purchase any books.

When he walked into the bookstore, it was just a small room with a few shelves and among the books on the shelves he found a book he wanted. He took the catalog first and read what was inside. He was allowed to pick two books for free and the rest he had to buy.

Since a miracle was happening to her, she decided to take the time to choose two books that could help her make money. He chose a plant and flower recognition book; he believed that he could do well.

As for the second book, he decided to wait until the next time. He had so many books to read at the moment and adding one more, would only be a waste. After retrieving the book, Krystal left the mall and appeared in her study once again.

Krystal dedicates that day to reading the book she took from the bookstore, research through the internet about things he does not understand and look for a viable market where he can sell herbs once he has them.

After her intensive search, Krystal decided to visit a nearby place marked on the map. So the next day, Krystal bought a plane ticket for her first destination. The flight was for an hour; he took a taxi that dropped him off one kilometer before the mountain.

The good thing about mountains is that anyone can climb them as long as you can protect yourself when the time comes. There are a lot of strange things that happen at night.

For this trip, Krystal had prepared herself well. He had packed some food, water and drinks that he could carry as long as he sought his fortune. He also bought some shovels and baskets for this particular endeavor.

He ate some of his food while climbing the mountain, following the direction where the mountain marked. It took him two hours to find an all-green place. He smiled when he saw what he saw.

He could identify a number of herbs that he had seen in the book he was currently reading. To think that he had seen a number of these herbs and just ignored them, he felt a deep, poignant feeling in his heart. Even his village where he grew up before leaving for the city and Delia, the former Krystal had even uprooted some of them for pleasure.

If he knew that he was wasting money, would he be as wasteful as that? Krystal shook her head and started working. He had already changed into a canal outfit, taking out a small hoe and basket.

Krystal was busy, plucking the herbs with her roots and putting them in the basket she had bought. This continued for hours, he only stopped when he ate or drank something to quench his thirst.

This continued for three days as he busily visited every marked spot on the mountain, gathering every exotic herb and flower he saw. Since no one chose them, then he might as well help them and take them.

On the last day, he hit the jackpot, to think that he could dig out a mature ginseng root. Krystal was overjoyed, she placed it safely among the other herbs in her warehouse. He actually got a huge harvest this time, he did not really regret staying on the mountain for three days without descending.

She bathed using the tears from the spring she found; when she was clean she changed her clothes and left the mountain with a smile on her face. He was very tired but he knew that without pain there would be no gain.

Krystal decided to go to another city to sell the medicinal plants and flowers she had obtained from the mountain. If he sold it in his own town, he was afraid he would meet people he did not want to meet.

Krystal decides to go to Frey, a city she doesn't have been in for years now. Upon arriving he took a taxi to the hotel where he booked a standard room. He cleansed himself and went to sleep, his body ached due to all the work and he did not rest well while staying on the Mountain.

The next day Krystal visited a traditional medicine market and only brought a few samples to test her luck. After visiting a number of shops and hearing some unpleasant prices, he would return to the hotel to rest but he met someone interesting.

It was good if he could get away from her, he didn't want anything to happen to her. He had helped her several times when she was injured; he was just a good man.

"I heard that you have some special potions, may I see them?" the old man asked as he looked at her suspiciously.

He understood that he was skeptical; after all he looked very young to go around selling herbs. Krystal smiled at the man and passed the basket containing the potion she picked up when she visited the market.

"It's just a sample, please look."

He watched as the old man researched the medicinal herbs before a smile appeared on his face. It is always rare to see a man satisfied with anything, yet here he smiles.

"Where did you get this potion from?"

"I found it on the mountain. Are you interested in buying it?"

"Yes, i. I'll buy everything you have and if you have more in the future, bring it here too" the old man said with a smile.

When she heard that she was happy, having loyal customers was good. He did not have to worry about selling any potions he would have in the future and since he already knew the old man then everything was fine.

"I should go and bring the rest for you later," he spoke with a gentle smile on his face.

The two talked about the amount he currently had and after telling him about the ginseng, he was excited because he couldn't wait to see it.

Krystal left the mansion alone and wandered around for a while before she took out the herbal basket. He rented a truck that came to pick him up at the designated location.

He returned to the mansion and when the old man saw the basket, his face beamed. He looked like a child looking at his favorite toy.

He was surprised that the herbs he had gathered over the past three days had produced around four million alone and the fifty-year-old ginseng root alone produced a total of one and a half million. This trip was not in vain and t think that this job did not need him to make his hands dirty, he saw that everything must be fine.

The money was transferred to his bank account and now his bank account has a total of more than six million dollars with no money still in its warehouse. After finalizing the deal, he exchanged contact details with the old man and promised to return when he had more stock.

What he didn't realize was the fact that the old man looked sullen as he left. The old man remembered the poor girl named M who died in prison a year ago. Despite his dangerous job, he is truly a good boy who only needs attention and love.

The behavior of the young girl reminded him a lot; they behaved in the same way as he was almost deceived. There is no nonsense like reincarnation or rebirth in this world. As a scientist and a doctor, he believed in facts and not myths. He shook his head and returned his attention to the potion he had just bought.

They came at the right time, he was researching a medicine and needed many ingredients. Thinking that the young girl knew how to maintain the vitality of herbs at her young age, she could become a doctor if she wanted to. He'll ask her next time he comes. He had a feeling that he was not a local and he was hiding a lot of things but who had no secrets?
