Now that Benson and Melissa had both decided to become Beyonders, the next step was naturally to choose their pathways.
"I have quite a few initial Sequence formulas on hand. Currently, there are five: Seer, Hunter, Reader, Spectator, and Bard." As Benson and Melissa looked at him with anticipation and curiosity, Klein introduced,
"Besides that, my teacher also has the Sequence 9 formulas for Monster and Apothecary. He has promised me that if you want to choose other pathways, you can also look for him, and he will help you get the initial Sequence."
After a pause, Klein added, "However, Teacher has recently left Backlund for some matters. If you want to walk the initial Sequences that my teacher has, you'll need to wait for a while, but it shouldn't be too long."
Melissa and Benson exchanged a glance, and the latter asked, "Klein, can you tell me what kind of abilities the five initial Sequences you have can bring?"
"Of course. Actually, I also planned to give you a detailed introduction to the approximate abilities of the high Sequences of all the pathways. Teacher has taught me all this knowledge." Klein nodded and began to introduce the abilities of the high Sequences of the 22 pathways to Benson and Melissa.
Naturally, he hoped that his brother and sister could make the most suitable choice for themselves after understanding the situation.
Benson and Melissa listened attentively.
After Klein finished his introduction, before he could even take a sip of water, he heard Melissa suddenly exclaim, "Klein, it seems that Mr. Lin Ruo is very good to you." Her expression had a feeling of an old mother finally feeling relieved.
Klein was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Teacher is indeed very good to me."
After a while, he asked again, "Benson, Melissa, you basically understand the 22 pathways now. Do you have any thoughts?"
Benson and Melissa exchanged another glance. Melissa took the lead and said, "I want to choose the Savant pathway. I really like machinery, and this pathway should be very suitable for me."
Choosing a pathway isn't just about looking at the strength or abilities of the pathway. Sometimes, compatibility is more important, and Melissa is undoubtedly very compatible with the Savant pathway. She herself realized this.
She continued, "The only problem is that this pathway lacks direct combat power in the early stages, but Klein, you also said that low-Sequence Beyonders themselves rarely can contend with firearms. I can practice my marksmanship first, so I won't be weaker than ordinary people at least. And when the Sequence is high, I can create Beyonder items, which can not only make up for my own combat power, but also help you."
Klein nodded, not surprised. He also felt that Melissa was very suitable for the Scholar pathway, so he said, "I also think you are very compatible with this pathway… I happen to have a set of materials for preparing the Savant potion. This was left to me by my teacher before he left Backlund. When you are ready, you can take it."
"Really?" Melissa was a little surprised. She didn't expect Klein to have a ready-made set of materials. Doesn't this mean that she can become a Beyonder immediately?
Despite always being mature, Melissa couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.
Seeing this, Klein smiled and looked at Benson, asking, "Benson, what about you? What pathway do you want to choose?"
"I want to become a Lawyer." Benson pondered for a moment and replied, "I might need to trouble your teacher to help me find the Lawyer potion formula."
This was Benson's choice after careful consideration.
He originally wanted to choose one of the five initial Sequences that Klein had, after all, it wasn't good to trouble others too much. But after listening to the introduction about the 22 pathways, and seeing that Klein and Melissa both chose pathways that lacked frontal combat power in the early stages, Benson planned to choose a pathway with strong frontal combat power, so that he could be the frontal combat power among the three siblings in the future.
There were quite a few pathways with frontal combat power, but not many were suitable. After thinking about it, Benson finally chose the Lawyer pathway, which was the Black Emperor pathway in Klein's words.
The Lawyer stage of the Black Emperor pathway, or like the Seer and Savant, lacked combat power, but starting from Barbarian, the frontal combat power of the Black Emperor pathway was not weak among many pathways—after all, how could someone who wants to distort rules and formulate rules not have strong fists!
And Benson carefully thought about his own characteristics, and felt that this pathway should be considered compatible with himself.
"Lawyer? Okay, after Teacher comes back, I will ask him." Klein nodded, thinking of Benson's eloquence that could easily persuade the landlord, and felt that the other party's choice was quite suitable.
He thought of something else and said, "By the way, there is also a very important thing. Regarding mastering potions, there is actually a special method that can help you quickly master potions, but because of some choices, I can't tell you. When my teacher comes back, he will teach you. After you learn it, you may be able to have the qualifications to advance to Sequence 8 in a month or two."
"There's such a method?" Benson was a little surprised.
Melissa's expression was the same. She suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Klein, how do we wild Beyonders obtain the next potion formula and Beyonder materials? We can't always rely on you."
Hearing this, Benson also looked at Klein, waiting for the answer.
"Wild Beyonders generally obtain these at various underground mysterious gatherings…" Klein briefly introduced the existence of Beyonder gatherings, and finally said, "I know where the underground trading market in Tingen is, and I also know a few Beyonder gatherings in Backlund that are suitable for low-Sequence participants. I can recommend you to join later."
"Then what is the price of various items? You have to tell us, otherwise what will we do if we get scammed when we participate in those Beyonder gatherings." Melissa, who has always been very frugal in spending money, naturally thought of this.
"Uh…" Klein paused for a rare moment before saying, "As for prices, generally speaking, the price of a Sequence 9 potion formula is around 220 pounds. It's normal for it to be a little higher or a little lower. The same level of…"
"Wait." Melissa interrupted Klein for a rare moment, her fingertips trembling slightly, and said, "You just said, what is the price of a Sequence 9 potion formula?"
Klein was silent for a moment, but still said, "220 pounds."
Melissa's fingertips trembled even more violently, and said, "Then what about a Sequence 9 potion?"
"400 pounds." Klein honestly quoted the price, which was the approximate price of a Sequence 9 Beyonder characteristic.
Melissa was silent, and after being silent for a long time, she said, "Klein, can I go back on my word?"
Too expensive!
The cost of becoming a Beyonder was a bit beyond Melissa's psychological limit.
"No." Klein shook his head, and seeing that Melissa and Benson both looked a little unacceptable, he quickly said, "Benson, Melissa, although the cost of becoming a Beyonder is very high, it will be easier to make money after becoming a Beyonder. For example, I have earned several thousand pounds before and after this period, and I may participate in a mission soon, and maybe I can earn another one or two thousand pounds…"
"Several thousand pounds?"
Benson and Melissa exchanged a glance, and both felt a little unfamiliar with this number.
Their concept of money was greatly impacted, almost no less than opening the door to a new world again.
