Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 130 Generalist

Klein and Melissa went upstairs one after the other and arrived at Klein's room.

After entering the room, Melissa locked the door to prevent any accidents and being discovered by others.

There was only one chair in the room. Klein moved the wooden chair in front of his desk next to Melissa and sat on the bed.

"Melissa," Klein said seriously, "What happened to you?"

Melissa's face was serious. She organized her words and told Klein all her experiences and speculations.

"Well……"

Klein pondered for two seconds, then reached into his shirt pocket and took out the Citrine Pendulum.

As a fortune teller, Klein naturally had to carry his pendulum with him at all times. Not only that, to be on the safe side, he also always kept the ancient silver mirror given by his sister with him. Fortunately, the silver mirror was relatively small and easy to carry.

Klein didn't let Melissa leave and continued to perform divination in front of his sister.

Melissa was stunned for two seconds when Klein took out the pendulum, then realized that Klein was a true fortune teller and guessed that he was probably fortune-telling about the extraordinary events she had encountered.

She stared intently at the pendulum in Klein's hand, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. After experiencing something like this, the girl felt both fear and curiosity about Beyonder powers. Although she had never been interested in such things, she couldn't suppress her thirst for knowledge.

Under Melissa's gaze, the calm citrine pendulum suddenly began to spin rapidly in a clockwise direction.

Melissa's eyes suddenly widened as she looked at her spinning topaz pendulum in amazement.

Klein indeed possesses mysterious powers!
"It's the negative effect of the magical item." Klein lifted it up, and the Citrine Pendulum drew an arc, flying towards Klein's palm. The moment the Citrine Pendulum touched his palm, Klein closed his palm and returned the Citrine Pendulum to his pocket.

"Magical item?" Melissa asked curiously. "Negative effects?"

"Magical items are objects with extraordinary powers," Klein said carefully. "Each magical item has its own abilities, but also has negative effects. Some magical items have very serious negative effects, making them difficult to use."

"The negative effects of that magical item you mentioned, while I'm not sure if these are all its negative effects, are currently quite severe. Carrying it will teleport you to another location within a certain radius when you cross a corner or a door. While not dangerous, it will severely affect your normal life, making it difficult to use."

"Perhaps the magical item possesses teleportation capabilities, which can offset some of the effects. Or perhaps the negative effects are limited, with restrictions on the number of teleportations, teleportation conditions, teleportation probability, or some other aspects, allowing Beyonders to use this magical item normally."

Melissa nodded, roughly understanding what Klein meant. "Are magical items very valuable to Beyonders?"

"Yes, they are extremely valuable. Not only are they valuable, they are also very important," Klein nodded. To help Melissa clearly understand the preciousness and importance of magical items, he thought for two seconds and then said, "Beyonders with magical items and those without are like knights with guns and knights without guns. Moreover, magical items are very expensive, at least four hundred pounds. Some powerful magical items can cost ten thousand pounds or even more. Even more powerful magical items are not circulated on the market at all."

1. Ten thousand pounds!

Melissa's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, and her hands trembled slightly.

I took something so valuable without permission! Luckily it was just a cat, or I'd probably be caught by the police by now.

"It's so valuable, why did Black Cat allow me to take it?" Melissa muttered to herself.

Klein had already guessed the truth from Melissa's description, but he certainly couldn't tell the truth. "Perhaps the black cat isn't that intelligent. After all, it's just a cat. The reason it carries a magical item is because its owner wants to avoid its negative effects. After discovering its collar is missing, they ordered it to retrieve it, which is why it appeared before you again to retrieve the collar."

Klein argued seriously and solemnly.

"Maybe." Melissa lowered her eyes and thought seriously for two seconds before answering, "Now that the collar has been taken away, it probably won't come looking for me again."

Klein thought for two seconds and took out the topaz pendulum again.

Melissa immediately looked over. Under her gaze, the citrine pendulum slowly spun counterclockwise. She was about to ask Klein about his divination, but she saw him retract the citrine pendulum, then put it down again and perform another divination. This time, the pendulum still spun counterclockwise.

"Yes," Klein retracted the pendulum and said seriously, "You will encounter it again in the future, but the divination results show that it will not harm you."

As if he was worried, Klein added, "The divination results can only be used as a reference."

"This……"

Melissa looked troubled and at a loss for a moment. She bit her lip and asked, "How can I gain extraordinary power?"

She couldn't rely on Klein every time, nor could she pin her hopes on the black cat.

Klein was stunned for a moment, then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. He looked away from Melissa with a flickering look in his eyes.

"Klein?"

"Melissa," Klein took a deep breath and said with his lips moving, "Becoming a Beyonder is a dangerous thing..."

"I know." Melissa smiled and said softly, as if to comfort Klein.

Klein looked at his sister with astonishment on his face.

Melissa chuckled. "It's precisely because it's dangerous that Klein tried so hard to keep it a secret from us."

Klein stared at his sister in a daze, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rising slightly.

He pondered for two seconds and then said seriously, "To become a Beyonder, you must drink potions. Different potions can lead to different Beyonders. There are a total of twenty-two paths of potions, and each path has nine sequences, from Sequence Nine to Sequence One. You must drink potions in order, starting with Sequence Nine, then Sequence Eight, and Sequence Seven..."

Melissa listened attentively to Klein's explanation of basic Beyonder knowledge. After he finished, she asked, "Has anyone drunk a potion that allows one to know all mechanical knowledge?"

"There's none in the initial sequence, but there are a few potions that can help you learn about mechanics. The one I recommend most is Sequence 6, called Mechanical Expert."

Mechanical expert!

Melissa looked left and right at Klein expectantly.

"Its name is..." Klein paused deliberately, looked at Melissa, noticed her anxious expression, smiled, and continued:
"A generalist."
