Chapter 151: Klein's Good Temper
After the matter with the mysterious organization was settled, the "Magician" Fors looked around and tentatively asked:
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any solutions for the problem of accumulating too many extraordinary characteristics at the same level?"
Alger looked at Fors and asked in return, "Were you forced to drink a second dose of the 'Apprentice' potion?"
Fors cleared her throat uncomfortably and said, "Yes, let's just say that...
"Do you have any solutions? What do I need to exchange for them?"
Alice raised her hand and said, "There is a way, but it definitely won't be useful. It won't be as fast as digesting through acting.
"Have children, have several of them, and you can always pass on the excess characteristics to them.
"Later, you can even tell your children that they were born from drinking potions."
"Huh?" Fors showed a confused expression.
In the gray fog, Klein showed a slight smile at this joke, which was clearly characteristic of the 21st century. Unfortunately, no one present other than him could understand Alice's joke.
Alger also didn't quite get the humor but somewhat understood what Alice was suggesting: "High-sequence Beyonders can decide whether to pass on extraordinary characteristics to their offspring and to what extent.
"Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 will naturally pass on a portion, beyond their control. Although each time it won't be much and won't affect their own strength, if you have enough children, it can still cause a regression.
"Such children are born with higher intuition and certain incomplete extraordinary abilities, equivalent to half a Sequence 9, with fixed characteristics. If they want to become Beyonders, they can only choose the corresponding pathway.
"Of course, such individuals are not necessarily born from inheritance; they might also be favored by gods or corrupted by evil spirits. Many factors can cause the same effect. Moreover, the children of high-sequence Beyonders might be born at Sequence 5, which is a rare way to advance without much risk of losing control."
"So that's how it is..." Audrey exclaimed in surprise, understanding the origin of some special groups from the past.
Alice shifted uncomfortably, recalling Song Shu's words "born monster," which was not a pleasant thing.
Fors, having understood Alger's explanation, asked, "What about Sequence 7, Sequence 8, and Sequence 9 Beyonders?"
Alger pondered and said, "Theoretically, their extraordinary characteristics won't be inherited by their offspring, but this is not absolute. If there is an excess of extraordinary characteristics, there is still a chance of inheritance.
"In other words, getting pregnant and giving birth to a child can effectively reduce the residual potion in your body. No, one might not be enough; three or four would be more certain."
Alice sighed and summarized, "So, this is indeed a good method for male Beyonders, but for you...
"Would you rather get pregnant with quadruplets or give birth to four children in succession?"
No, I don't want either... Fors quickly crossed out this choice in her mind and forced a smile, saying, "I understand. The best way is still to digest through acting."
Alger gave a definite answer, "That's the case for Sequence 7 and below."
"So, if I have a child now, I can tell him or her, 'You are simply a born 'monster'...'" Alice said thoughtfully.
Audrey quickly reached out to steady herself on the table.
Alger staggered and almost fell off his chair. After stabilizing himself, he glanced at Alice and then looked sympathetically at the silent "World."
In the gray fog, Klein was silent for a moment, then controlled the "World" to make a face-palming gesture to express his feelings.
This, this is really... Forget it, after all, it's Miss "Fate"...
Such thoughts flashed through everyone's minds, making the scene quiet for a few seconds.
Not understanding what they were shocked about, Derrick adjusted his sitting posture and said, "I've been assigned another exploration task."
"Where to?" Alger looked at Derrick as if he were a savior.
"Still the half-destroyed temple of the Fallen Creator," Derrick answered without much gravity.
Why does he seem less nervous this time... Alice blinked twice but didn't interrupt.
Alger thought for a couple of seconds and asked, "Is the 'Shepherd' elder still in the dungeon?"
"Yes, this time the exploration is led by the 'Chief'," Derrick answered without any concealment.
It seems Mr. "Sun" trusts their Chief very much... Well, that's normal. I used to trust my captain a lot too...
A trace of sadness flashed in Alice's heart.
"In this case, the danger level is much lower than last time. It can be tried," Alger couldn't help but glance at Mr. Fool again.
Mr. Fool in the gray fog was as high and mysterious as usual.
Unable to glean anything, Alger continued to Derrick, "This should be the final assessment before completely lifting the surveillance on you.
"The information you previously conveyed was that Amon and the 'Fallen Creator' are mortal enemies. They would expose themselves to sabotage each other's plans.
"This time, during the exploration of the Fallen Creator's temple, as long as you don't show any abnormalities, the 'Six-Person Council' can basically determine that you are no longer influenced by Amon."
"Mr. 'Hanged Man' is really experienced in such matters... By the way, does this mean Amon will soon receive a gift?"
Alice sat up a bit straighter, feeling more spirited.
Amon and the "True Creator" are mortal enemies... Uh, the "True Creator" came from "God"...
I forgot to ask Amon about this last time... Although even if I asked, he might not say anything. But, father-son conflict...
No, if I were his father and knew my child had such expectations between his father and brother, I would also prefer to expose myself to drag the child out and beat him...
Klein has a really good temper... No, maybe it's because he hasn't seen... No, I must not let him see those pictures.
Alice secretly made up her mind.
Derrick firmly remembered Alger's words and then asked, "Besides this, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
The profound Mr. Fool finally gave a merciful reminder, "Flesh, whispers."
... He really knows how to act.
Alice pouted but watched the Tarot Club members guess with great interest.
Alger thought seriously for a few seconds and then said to Derrick, who had thanked Mr. Fool, "Specifically, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, don't eat what you shouldn't eat, and don't touch what you shouldn't touch."
