Chapter 124 - A Sudden New System Quest

Bai Chen needed a lot of training to use multiple weapons through multitasking.

But for Indeedee, this style of split-focus was already natural.

Following Tinkatuff's advice, Indeedee lay flat on the ground.

The Bone Shooter Heavy Bowgun had a built-in sniper stabilizer beneath the barrel,

letting her lock the heavy weapon in place.

Indeedee loaded a single Wyvernsnipe round—

a shot worth 100 gold.

Above her, suspended in the air,

another heavy bowgun floated—

already loaded by her telekinesis.

At Bai Chen's signal,

Indeedee fired both weapons at once.

The airborne bowgun, using Wyvernheart,

reduced the shooting distance and tightened the spread.

out of 50 rounds, 32 hit the training dummy.

Then—

BOOM.

Indeedee fired the Wyvernsnipe.

The round behaved like a delayed bomb—

penetrating, then detonating.

The metal dummy was blown into glittering fragments.

Bai Chen asked:

 │ "How many heavy bowguns can your psychic power control?"

Indeedee answered excitedly—

at least two!

She wanted to try three,

even more if possible.

 │ "Start with two.

  The recoil is strong.

  Once you level up and your psychic power increases,

  I'll let you use more."

Bai Chen felt more and more satisfied with Indeedee.

She could cook, handle logistics,

act as a battlefield comms node,

and now—

Use telekinesis to wield multiple weapons like he could.

He could already imagine it:

The team's future long-range fire support

and suppressive coverage

would all fall to Indeedee.

And judging by her expression—

She loved heavy bowguns.

She was practically vibrating with excitement.

He opened Indeedee's status panel.

[Species]: Emotion Pokémon

[Type]: Psychic / Normal

[Rarity]: 4

Hypnosis (Rarity 4, Novice)

Almost all support skills.

Most not highly mastered—

—but the good news:

aside from Maid's Psychic Force,

All were second-tier skills that required only light training.

 │ "Her damage output depends entirely on the heavy bowguns.

  I can give her Lock-On later to improve accuracy.

  Then just focus on leveling Lock-On and Maid's Psychic Force."

Skill proficiency was Bai Chen's rarest resource.

 │ "Minimal skill cost, maximum damage…

  and perfect team support…

  I'm going to cry.

  Catching Indeedee was the best decision ever."

He told Tinkatuff:

 │ "Use our gathered materials to forge more heavy bowguns for Indeedee.

  And take care of all the attachments too."

Unlike melee weapons,

Light and heavy bowguns always required mod attachments,

separate from decorations.

Things like Critical Scope,

Close-Range Booster,

Recoil Suppressor,

and more.

These attachments were independent pieces,

and some could be stacked for greater effect.

 │ "My idea:

  Two bowguns for Wyvernheart fire,

  and one for Wyvernsnipe.

  You two can decide the attachments."

Reality differed from the games—

Wyvernheart was far stronger,

and if barrel overheating could be controlled,

its continuous firepower would be monstrous.

 │ "Yama."

Tinkatuff nodded, full of ideas already.

Leaving them to plan,

Bai Chen went to the dining hall.

In Tinkatuff's workshop—

She had Indeedee test the light bowgun.

But after experiencing that kind of firepower,

the light bowgun didn't satisfy her at all.

Nothing compared to that

da-da-da

feeling.

Tinkatuff understood.

She checked her leftover materials.

Finally, they decided on three new weapons:

1. Hidden Sniper — made from Nargacuga materials

Focused on long-range sniping.

Attachments:

Wyvernsnipe Modification

Long-Range Booster

Critical Scope

2 & 3. Anjanath Cannon ×2 — for close-range suppression

Using Anjanath's fire-aligned materials.

Attachments:

Wyvernheart Modification

Close-Range Booster ×2

Fire materials granted bonuses like:

handling higher-caliber Wyvernheart

faster barrel cooling

With the designs settled,

Tinkatuff immediately began forging.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant—

Bai Chen suddenly received a new system notification.
