[Bonus chapter for Powerstones]
Bai Chen could now barely control a single longsword through telekinesis.
He tested his psychic strength again.
Worthy of the 17,500 proficiency he poured into it—
The most drastic improvement was raw mental force.
Before, at Expert level, he could lift around 200 kg,
and fight full-force with telekinesis for four to five hours without sleep.
Now, at the Master's level?
He could lift almost 800 kg,
and this limit would rise as his level rose.
Controlling a Hidden Blade and a Zinogre Blade simultaneously?
No problem.
But flying himself with full gear?
Impossible.
Three swords + full armor + Bai Chen's own weight ≈ , nearly one ton.
│ "Still need a solution…"
He paused, then realized:
│ "Super Psychic uses my own mental power… but it's affected by the environment."
He signaled Indeedee.
She opened a Psychic Terrain.
Natural energy shifted—
all turning into psychic-type.
A trait-generated Psychic Terrain was much stronger than a move-generated one.
Move → depends on proficiency.
Trait → depends on the user's Sp. Attack.
Bai Chen used his psychic power again.
His telekinesis instantly grew about 30% stronger.
Not enough.
│ "My Master-level Nature Force can already convert natural energy into psychic power…
│ If I combine both…"
He activated Nature Force.
Psychic-aligned energy wrapped around him—
and his telekinesis strengthened again.
Another 30% boost.
│ "Terrain + Nature Force… about 1.7× total increase."
He equipped all the armor and weapons.
With Indeedee maintaining the Terrain,
He could now fly fully armored.
At this moment, he could lift roughly 1,350 kg.
He tested flight speed—
Telekinesis speed is scaled with power.
He reached 12 m/s — roughly 43 km/h.
│ "Interesting. Very interesting."
He glanced at Indeedee.
He looked at her Psychic move.
Indeedee wasn't a fighter.
Indeedee was not adept at combat, but her Psycic move was her most powerful, having reached the Proficient level due to its frequent use for cooking.
It was Expert-level, only 4,000 proficiency short of Master.
│ "My Super Psychic increases my base stats.
│ If I copy it to Indeedee, her Sp. Atk will also rise…
│ And if I raise her to Master level, her Terrain will strengthen too.
│ My own strength will go up with hers."
A perfect synergy.
Bai Chen immediately copied his rank-7 psychic move to her.
But Indeedee didn't receive "Super Psychic."
She got something entirely different:
Maid's telepathy (Rarity 7)
Greatly enhances mental power. Gains ability: "Mind-Web."
Mind-Web: Creates a telepathic network.
Anyone inside the network can communicate mentally.
│ "…Mind-Web? A battlefield walkie-talkie?"
Bai Chen blinked.
He got Source Stream—
endurance.
Indeedee got Mind-Web—
Teamwide command support.
Same skill.
Different manifestation.
Because Indeedee was a feelings-based Pokémon,
her psychic evolved into communication.
│ "Mind-Web isn't a huge deal in the Pokémon world…
│ But in Monster Hunter? That's big."
He spent 6,500 skill points to raise her Maid's Psychic to Master.
Now, Indeedee, too, could form psychic shields.
Her Psych Terrain strengthened—
boosting psychic moves from +30% → +40%.
Inside her Terrain, Bai Chen's telekinesis now grew 1.8×.
He tested Mind-Web.
Coverage: 10 km radius.
But unlike walkie-talkies—
no terrain interference,
no static,
unlimited connections.
│ "Looks like Indeedee is officially our logistics commander now."
Her natural advantage was overwhelming.
The range would grow as her level and proficiency increased.
In the morning, Bai Chen continued to test various parameters of his ability and experimented with the practical effects of 'Wielding the Blade with telekenisis'.
The attacks were strong enough.
Usable in combat.
But—
The power of the controlled blade was decent and perfectly usable in combat.
The biggest current issue was that Bai Chen found it very difficult to truly multitask—"Right now, controlling two blades with telekinesis while fighting with a third is basically like trying to type on two keyboards at once while also writing with a pen — technically possible, but insanely hard."
Then there was Qi Charging.
Monster Hunter blades required contact to charge their Qi bar.
Bai Chen couldn't channel aura at range—
Not unless he learned to project aura freely someday.
So he still needed physical contact for charging.
│ "This path won't be easy…
│ Hopefully, before I return to the Monster Hunter world, I can perfect telekinetic swordsmanship."
Noon approached.
Indeedee headed to prepare lunch.
She met several maids bustling in the hallway.
She greeted them politely.
Just one day in the mansion, and everyone adored her.
Some even wanted to go to Galar to catch one of their own.
Cute.
Dutiful.
Excellent at cooking.
Great at caring for others.
│ "Fuu~" Indeedee hummed as she entered the kitchen,
asking the maids for space.
│ "Feel free to use anything you need!"
To keep Bai Chen and his monsters fed, the house stocked enormous amounts of ingredients.
Indeedee lifted her phone—
and used her newly boosted psychic power to levitate all pots, pans, and utensils.
It was as she started cooking that the maids finally processed what they had heard earlier.
│ "…Wait.
│ Did—
│ Did she just talk!?"
