Krystal wanted to laugh so badly but this wasn’t funny at all. What were all the voices sounding in her head?

“Who are you? Come out!” Krystal called out the empty room. She was not in the mood of any jokes since she was so hungry and weak at the moment.

She didn’t receive any answer but what happened next freaked the hell out of her. She found herself standing in a place that looked like a mall but it wasn’t the same as the malls she was used to seeing.

The air and even the whole environment felt very different. When she was busy looking at the different stores facing her, a book fell right in front of her and she picked it up.

Krystal opened the book and began to read it. She spent an hour reading the book and she got to learn a lot from it.

According to the book she had just read, this whole place belonged to her and it was called the Tycoon Mall or system. This was like a golden cheat and with this she could go far and no one will trample on her again.

She felt very elated when she looked at those different stores that were still locked. According to the guide book, all she needed was to earn crystals and the more she earn, the mall will level up.

The mall had around ten stores that could provide her with everything that she needed. As long as she level the mall up, then there will be no need for her to even bother buying anything outside. She was not a fool, she had a feeling that whatever she will buy from the mall will be of great quality. There was no way someone will try to scam her with something she had never asked of.

Krystal began to walk around the mall, familiarizing herself with the stores that were there. The mall had the following stores; supermarket which was mainly for groceries, a pharmacy, a bookstore, a clothing boutique, music store, a ranch where she could buy livestock and meat, a mission hall where she could accept missions to earn crystals, a treasury hall where she could buy and sell all rare items, a virtual cooking space where she could get recipes and learn how to cook and finally the pagoda where all her martial artist problems will be solved.

The whole mall really made her feel at ease. She wasn’t reborn for nothing and that was good. The only problem however was the currency used in the mall, the stores were very expensive and if she doesn’t work hard she will not be able to even buy a single fruit to eat.

THE MALL CURRENCY

1 Crystal = 100 gold pieces = 1000 silver pieces = E$1000000

This really made her head ache so badly, in order to just receive a single crystal she needed a million for that. Luckily she had hide a lot of money and what she needed was for her to just go and retrieve it hoping that no one had found out about it.

Krystal decided to check some of the stores there were open, she began with the supermarket and there wasn’t anything much yet in the store. She was a bit disappointed but happy at the same time, she couldn’t afford anything even if there were there.

After looking around for a while she smiled as she saw a basket of fruits on the counter. There was a huge sign stating that the basket was FREE. As someone who was hungry she quickly hugged the basket, picked an apple and began to munch on it as she walked out of the supermarket.

The apple was so tasty and it was better than any apple she had eaten in her entire lives. She made her way to the pharmacy as she ate her second apple. When she walked into the pharmacy, she found out that there wasn’t anything again just like the supermarket.

This time she didn’t have to walk around like an idiot but immediately found a jade bottle in one of the shelves. She put her basket on the counter and picked the bottle. There was a label on the bottle and she read that the bottle contained a water pill. This pill was good for strengthening one’s body after cleaning away all the impurities in one’s body.

Krystal smiled as she read the information regarding the pill. This was something that she really needed. Taking it will surely change her, with this she will get stronger and her body will no longer have to be weak.

She put the jade bottle into the fruit basket and made her way to the last store that was opened, the mission hall. The hall was small and there was a board on the wall. On the board was MISSIONS written in bold letters and beneath it there was only one mission.

M1: Change your life and enroll into a good school within one month.

Rewards: - 5 body nourishing pills

Krystal looked at the mission and smiled. The mission to her was easy than for the former host. She already knows where she could get some money, she had enough money to last her a lifetime even if she didn’t get to work.

However for someone who didn’t go to school in her previous life, it had always been her dream to go to school and go to a famous University. Now that she had a dream, she was going to work hard to earn more money. Without money she will not be able to let that wretched family bow to her, she had already promised and she was going to have that wish fulfilled.

Krystal accepted the mission and left the mall returning to the small room she had booked at the motel. She smiled when she noticed that her goods were still with her. She continued munching on the fruits and she felt that her body was feeling much better than before.

She remembered the pill she had received from the pharmacy. It was still in the morning so she threw the pill into her mouth. She felt the pill smoothly moved into her body. It didn’t take long before she felt that something was wrong, she quickly rushed to the toilet where she spend an hour relieving herself. It was so stinky that she almost fainted from the stench.

She went to the shower and stood beneath it. She watched as black substances come out of her body, the water washed them all. This was the longest bath she had ever had.

After a while she was done, she left the bathroom and picked another outfit among the few that she had in her bag. She felt better after the bath. Krystal checked herself and felt happier. She could feel that her body was different from before, she felt this energy all over her body and she was abit stronger than before.

She had a feeling that as long as she trains herself then her body will become stronger than before. She wanted to go back to the stage she was previously in her former life and even get stronger than that.

The world was such a cruel place where the strong preys on the weak. If she remains weak, she was afraid that one day that family of hers might sell her to an older man for some gains.

Krystal was very adamant on this and the earlier she starts on this the better but everything needed money. She had to go and fetch that money as soon as possible and since it was already late, she had decided to leave the next day.

Krystal ate the fruits for dinner and left some to eat the next day. She didn’t have any money to spend on meals, the little that she had was enough for transport money and she had to save for now until she gets the money in her hands.
