6 Carefully planning.

Neo stopped thinking about his problems and decided to meditate for a moment to clear his mind. During his meditation Aron came back thus Neo stopped his meditation, and they engaged into the conversation.

"These needles will be ready in few days. The blacksmith was actually very interested in your blueprints. I told him that I got it from someone."

"That's good. I need to keep a low profile for now."

"I don't like being ordered around by a kid. I still have doubts but I decided to risk."

"Teach me how to read and write. Then I will clear your doubts."

In the few next days. Aron taught him how to read and write. It wasn't hard language it was a mix of Armenian alphabet and Georgian with a few weird symbols added in. This time AI was useful and helped Neo to learn it fast. A man was astonished by learning the speed of Neo.

"Are you even human? It took you a few days to learn how to write and read. What now? Becoming an alchemist in a week and conquering the world in a month?" He joked.

"Hmmm. It will take a little longer but it's achievable."

A child didn't get it is a joke and answered honestly.

"You are the craziest person, I ever meet. At least in a positive way." Aron exclaimed.

Neo started studying the scrolls about herbs.

[It's possible to AI to analyze things seen by the host and send them into host's mind. As long, it isn't something too complicated, it can be analyzed.]

(That's interesting. So I need to take a look on every scroll and you will analyze it and insert the knowledge into my mind. Let's do it!)

It was an actually time-saving and super productive method. He could create something like database inside of his mind and connect previous knowledge with this world. Most of the plants of this world are mutated versions of Earth's flora but there are new plants in this world too. He needed to experiment to recreate recipes from his world.

(I saved many days like this. The aid of AI can actually move forward some of my ideas.)

Aron came back with a wooden container.

"I got the needles! Check them out." He passed the container to Neo. Inside of it were 19 iron needles. It wasn't the best but it was more than enough to take care of his problems and cure Aron.

"It's not the best I have seen but it's good enough. I need your help during treatment."

Neo explained the things that he is going to do and Aron role during treatment. Neo sat on the bed and started inserting needles into acupoints. Sometimes he coughed some blood but it was a good sign because it means that treatment is working. Aron was helping to insert some needles from time to time. A few hours later most of his body problems were solved.

(I feel good. Hahaha. It's time to talk with Aron. He is a key part of my plan.)

"Aron, we have to talk."

"What is it, kid?"

"Our cooperation can finish after treatment but it's what you want? I can offer infinite possibilities and a chance of being part of something greater? You can follow me or you can stay as small herbalist here in this city! I will forge my own path and I will not let anyone decide my fate! What about you? " Neo hoped that Aron will agree to cooperate in the future. As a kid, he couldn't do much in this city. He will get bullied again by some trashes like the previous owner of this body.

"You still ask such obvious questions. Look at me? I look like an old man, but I am 22 years old. Someone tried to destroy me but I didn't comply here I am! You are crazy but you gave me hope. I believe that you will cure me and following you isn't a bad choice."

"That's good. From now on I will consider you as one of my people. You won't regret your decision in the future"

Neo lose himself in the thoughts for a moment.

"I have many plans for the future but I know almost nothing about this world. I have big amounts of knowledge but I don't know if it's useful here. So can you give me some introduction to the world..."

"You are a weird person... You know how to heal people but you don't know how to read... Where should I start?"

"Tell me about ..." He asked about basic things like country, time, etc.

"We are in the Blackrock Kingdom. This city is Blacksand City. The year has..."

After hearing the short explanation, Neo was interested in this world even more.

"What about beasts and martial artists?" He didn't encounter any martial artist, so he was confused because on Earth martial arts were at their best era in middle ages and ancient times.

"There are many beasts around the world. I don't know much about them but I do know that it's better to don't go near them. Martial artists? I have no idea. I heard about some sects and noble clans but I don't know what do you mean. I don't know about other races because you cannot see them in our kingdom much."

"Other races?"

"Dwarfs, Beastkin, demons and many others. I only heard about them I didn't see any of them."

"Hmmm. You mentioned alchemists earlier. Can you tell me more about them ?"

"Yeah. I wanted to become one but as you can see. My state is like this, no alchemist wanted to take me as an apprentice. The only thing left was to study by myself but I couldn't solve my problems. The alchemy knowledge isn't easy to understand without someone guiding you."

They talked for a while. This world is far more complicated than Earth was.

(I found that we will have a lot more problems in this world than I predicted but it will be funnier hahaha)

"We need plan our next step. I think we need a way to get money. It will be the first thing to do before anything else. Any ideas?"

"I know only herbs. I know that alchemists are wealthy and blacksmiths are wealthy too. Maybe you could heal someone rich and get some money."

"It's too risky to expose my skills now. I am the weak boy with no background and you are not strong either."

"It's gonna be hard. I have no idea then."

"Let's postpone this conversation until I take care of problems of your body and nurture you back to health."

"That's a good idea too."

A month passed and Neo was ready to take care of Aron problems. During this time he meditated and searched for a solution of money problem...
