"If you are interested in this area, you can absolutely become a low-sequence Beyonder first, and after personally experiencing the changes that the potion can bring you, as well as its dangers, then consider subsequent promotions."
After a pause, Lin Ruo smiled and said, "Moreover, I have mastered the Acting Method. If you really intend to become a Beyonder, I can teach you the Acting Method. This can greatly increase your speed of digesting the potion and reduce your probability of losing control."
Since he decided to cultivate Klein, Lin Ruo naturally didn't intend to hide the Acting Method from him. Moreover, Lin Ruo knew that even if he didn't say it now, Klein would know it himself before long, so he might as well use it to do him a favor.
"Acting Method? What is that?" Klein asked curiously.
"Do you plan to become a Beyonder?" Lin Ruo didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.
"Uh…" Klein was stunned. He seemed to be lost in thought, clenching and unclenching his fist, and finally said, "I want to go home… and," he hesitated, and said, "You also know that I have joined that gray fog gathering. I have already participated in extraordinary events. In this situation, I think mastering power is better than waiting to die."
"It's good that you have this kind of awareness!" Lin Ruo was naturally not surprised by Klein's attitude, so he just smiled and said, "The Acting Method is very simple, you just need to remember these few sentences."
"The key point of the potion is not mastery and excavation, but digestion and acting! The name of the potion is not only a symbol, but also an image, and even the key to digestion!"
"For a simple example, if you choose to become a Sequence 9 [Hunter], you have to play a hunter, to hunt, to make yourself like a real hunter." Lin Ruo subconsciously used his own sequence as an example, and then: "In my opinion, the essence of acting is actually a kind of deception of the potion. Of course, this is just my opinion, you can refer to it."
"Deceiving the potion…" Klein listened as if he understood, but he understood what the Acting Method was about. After all, the example Lin Ruo gave was simple and easy to understand.
Lin Ruo then continued: "Also, Klein, remember the core principle of the Acting Method—[You are just acting]! You can act like anyone in order to digest the potion, but you can only be yourself. If you ignore this point, the Acting Method will make you perish faster!"
Klein was startled when he heard this, and almost blurted out, "Why would this happen?"
"In the extraordinary realm, it is very important to have a clear understanding of yourself. Being too obsessed with acting will make you lose yourself. This will initially cause problems with your spirit, and severely will lead to loss of control." Lin Ruo didn't play any tricks and explained directly.
"I see…" Klein vaguely felt that he understood, but it seemed like he didn't understand, after all, he hadn't really taken the potion yet, he was just listening to Lin Ruo, and it was always difficult to have a real feeling.
However, even so, Klein then took a deep breath. He looked in the direction where Lin Ruo was with a serious expression, even if he couldn't see anything, it still didn't affect the solemnity of his tone: "Lin Ruo, thank you for telling me these things."
He knew that Lin Ruo actually had no obligation to tell him these things, especially since the knowledge Lin Ruo taught him already involved many secrets that ordinary Beyonders didn't know. Klein didn't know if Lin Ruo had paid anything to know these secrets, but the other party taught him these things for free, which was a kindness.
"You're welcome, you can be considered my fellow villager anyway, I can't just watch you take those detours!" Even though he knew that Klein couldn't see, Lin Ruo still waved his hand, but the arc of his mouth raised a little, obviously in a good mood, "By the way, it's best not to tell other people about the Acting Method casually, it doesn't matter if it's relatives or friends, but if it spreads on a large scale, you may be invited to tea by the Church!"
"Uh, the Church doesn't allow the spread of the Acting Method?" Klein was a little puzzled.
"The Church allows members to summarize and discover the Acting Method themselves, but does not allow members to spread the Acting Method privately. As for why they do this, I don't know the reason very well." Lin Ruo shrugged as he spoke.
This was the truth, he really didn't know why the Church prohibited the spread of the Acting Method, this point was not clearly stated in the original work.
Of course, there were still guesses, but there was no need to tell Klein that.
While Klein was lost in thought because of these words, Lin Ruo said again: "Do you have any other questions?"
"Uh… you also know that Dunn invited me to join the Nighthawks, do you think I should join?" Klein hesitated and asked.
"My suggestion is, join!" Lin Ruo said almost without hesitation, "You have almost no foundation in mystical knowledge. In this situation, joining the Nighthawks can better and more comprehensively help you understand everything related to this world and the extraordinary."
"Moreover, you have already entered the Nighthawks' line of sight. In this situation, the probability of you being discovered by the Nighthawks after becoming a wild Beyonder is very high. Instead of being caught miserably at that time, it is better to simply join the Nighthawks and become a Beyonder through the Nighthawks' channels."
"Uh…" Klein blinked, not expecting Lin Ruo to answer so quickly and so surely, and said, "Lin Ruo, are you an official personnel?"
It was no wonder that Klein thought so, after all, generally speaking, wild Beyonders should hate the official, and Lin Ruo's attitude towards the official was obviously better.
"I am not an official personnel…" Lin Ruo first shook his head, then subconsciously glanced at the Badge of the Night in his hand, and immediately felt a little guilty, and coughed lightly to add: "But I am not a completely wild Beyonder either. If you really want to be particular, I might be considered half an official Beyonder."
Well, half a Blessed of the Night is considered half a Nighthawk, no problem!
Klein immediately nodded in understanding, but began to think about whether to join the Nighthawks.
Naturally, he would not make a decision directly because of Lin Ruo's suggestion. He, who had always been cautious, listed the pros and cons of joining the Nighthawks one by one in his heart, and finally made a decision:
"I've decided, I want to join the Nighthawks!"
Lin Ruo immediately felt very gratified. He almost subconsciously glanced at the sky, and found that the crimson moon in the sky had already set in the west at some point. Obviously, the sky was about to dawn.
So he said: "Speaking of which, are we still going to continue standing here chatting? I don't care, but aren't you embarrassed to talk to the air? Also, do you need to catch up on some sleep? It feels like you haven't slept all night!"
