"Not much, this is already what I had left over after doing half of it!" Rosen laughed as he said this, then gave a thumbs up, his smile hearty, "Kid, this is the efficiency of an angel!"
"Rosen, do you want to see your brother as a psychiatrist?" Klein felt that the person in front of him had gone a little crazy.
He was a little scared.
"I'm not crazy, just a little excited. I've absorbed too much knowledge in a short period of time." Rosen shook his head, then put down the cotton doll, patted his face, and finally cleared his mind from the overload. He said in a normal tone:
"And what I just said wasn't entirely a joke. Although you don't need to do these practice questions now, you should at least go through them with me once. You'll need to master all these knowledge points in the future."
As Rosen spoke, he seemed to remember something, pulled out a thick booklet, and handed it to Klein.
Klein took it without understanding why, and after opening it, he found that it seemed to be a catalog. The whole book contained the titles of at least seven or eight hundred books, if not a thousand.
"This is a list of essential books for novice extraordinary individuals. Familiarize yourself with it beforehand and prepare yourself mentally. You'll need to memorize all the contents of these books." Rosen gave a bright smile.
"Clatter—"
The booklet fell to the ground, and Klein stared blankly.
He originally thought that the half-meter-high practice problems next to Rosen were intimidating enough, but he didn't expect there to be an expert among them.
"I... While I do not reject learning, I am really just an ordinary person, and I may not have such a good memory." Klein swallowed hard. He had thought that learning extraordinary knowledge might be a difficult process, but he really did not expect the start to be so explosive.
"Poor thing." Rosen shook his head, then suddenly pulled out two books from the pile and placed them in front of Klein before laughing and saying, "Just kidding. Although you do need to study everything in that table of contents if you want to become a professional occult master, you're still a complete newbie right now. Just finish these two books."
Klein breathed a sigh of relief.
Klein narrowed his eyes, looked at Rosen, and said with a mixture of helplessness and gritted teeth, "When are you going to tone down this perverse sense of humor?"
"I'm practically buried in books, can't I even find some fun for myself?" Rosen said without a hint of guilt, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Have you made any progress lately?"
This naturally refers to Klein's search for extraordinary individuals in his own time to verify their existence.
Klein's expression immediately became subtle. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know if this counts as a gain. I've investigated many incidents that seem to involve extraordinary elements during this time, and I've also contacted many occult enthusiasts, but I haven't discovered any truly extraordinary entities yet. Some of these occult enthusiasts have invited me to join their organizations or groups, and I'm currently considering it."
"What organization?" Rosen asked, immediately intrigued.
"They're all weird organizations. For example, there's one called the Assassin's Guild. To be honest, I suspect it's actually a two-dimensional group, and the assassins..." Klein's expression became even stranger as he spoke, since he had already learned about the basics of the 22 Paths of God from Rosen and knew how treacherous the Assassin's Path was.
Upon hearing this, Rosen immediately thought of Mr. Fool's experience of becoming an assassin in a certain dream of the Celestial Venerable, and his expression turned subtle. He couldn't help but tease, "You're not tempted, are you?"
"How could that be! Even if it weren't a two-dimensional group, I would never become an assassin!" Klein immediately retorted, he had no interest in becoming a witch in the future.
"But that's because you already know from me that the path of the assassin leads to the witch. If you didn't know that..." Rosen raised an eyebrow at this point, not continuing, but the unspoken message was clear.
Klein was taken aback, but found himself unable to refute it, because if he didn't consider how many pitfalls it would cause later, the name "assassin" was indeed attractive to him.
After all, Klein has a heart full of joy.
But he definitely couldn't say that directly, because Rosen would surely laugh at him mercilessly, so Klein immediately changed the subject, saying, "Besides the Assassin's Guild, there's also the Fortune Teller's Club, the Luck-Changing Club..."
He rattled off the names of all the organizations that had invited him, and concluded, "To be honest, I feel that most of these organizations are probably just anime and manga fans, occult enthusiasts, and scammers."
It was clear that Klein didn't have high hopes of finding the real deal in these organizations.
Rosen caught the key phrase and asked, "What do you know about that fortune-telling event?"
"The Fortune-Changing Society?" Klein paused for a moment, then suddenly perked up, recalling something for a few seconds before saying, "The gentleman who invited me to join told me that the Fortune-Changing Society seems to worship something called Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun. They believe that the Tianzun controls the luck of all living beings, and that praying to the Tianzun will bring good luck."
As soon as he finished speaking, Klein noticed Rosen's expression become very subtle, which immediately made him nervous. He asked, "Is there a problem?"
This is a huge problem! You actually found the real thing!
What kind of beacon of destiny is this?!
Rosen couldn't help but complain in his heart. He hadn't really had high expectations for Klein's ability to find the Extraordinary in the old era. He was just adhering to the principle of gradual progress and guiding the other party to discover the truth of the time travel.
But Rosen really didn't expect that Klein would be able to find a small cult that worships the Celestial Venerable. What an odds it would be to encounter such a thing.
It's important to understand that before the apocalypse, although the Celestial Venerable had some influence in the present world, he was in Schrödinger's state at that time, and his abilities were limited. He also focused most of his energy on arranging things after the resurrection. It's conceivable that there weren't many people who believed in the Celestial Venerable in the old days.
And Klein actually managed to find such a small group of people.
All I can say is, Mr. Fool, you are terrifying!
Now that things had come to this, Rosen thought for a moment, then said with a solemn expression, "I don't know if it's just one person, but there is also a Heavenly Venerable of Fortune and Prosperity in this world."
Klein's breath hitched for a moment. He tried to calm himself, forced a smile, and said, "Isn't this place supposed to be Western-style? How come you have a deity like Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun?"
This style doesn't match at all!
It sounds like a family of brothers, with the eldest called Da Ming, the second Er Ming, the third San Ming, and the fourth named William Beckham – it's just as incongruous!
