BXBX NOVEL Chapter 179: Honing
It's like eating food. People might think their food was delicious, but that's because they only have one option. Try eating at a banquet, and they will really be able to pin point which food was the best.
"Darling, don't forget to call us. We want more exciting days like this," Mia said, her voice filled with longing.
"Alrigh," I nodded, taking out my phone to collect their contact numbers. As they each handed me their digits, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of my future plans.
They were aspiring idols in training, and I saw an opportunity to build connections in the entertainment industry. While they hadn't yet debuted, I'm 100% sure that with my assistance, I could help them make their debut and gain more influence.
After I grow my network in the entertainment industry, I would be ready to tackle more special missions. It seemed the system had a soft spot for the beautiful and famous women, which was an expected and excellent bonus for me.
Now, I just needed to make sure my "special missions" in the future didn't land me in too much trouble with the celebrities and their fans .
After parting ways, I decided to head to my next destination for today.
Planning to leave the bustling city behind, I aimed to sought refuge in the serene embrace of nature.
But, to be honest... my motivation was far least poetic: I just want a quiet place to practice my telekinesis without getting too much attention. No need to unleash my superpowers at a crowded city, and telling people that I have superpowers.
Of course, taking a sports car into the mountains was a recipe for disaster. So, the first order of business was heading to a rental shop to grab a sturdy black Ford truck. Those rugged beasts were built for off-road adventures, and I had a feeling I'd be needing that.

My truck zipped along winding roads, taking me deeper into the heart of the mountain range. The towering trees stood tall like silent guards, and their leaves rustled gently in the breeze.
The road eventually turned into a rough path, and the familiar sounds of the city were replaced by the songs of birds and the whispers of leaves.
Navigating the rough mountain terrain with the truck, I couldn't help but pat myself on the head. The path was certainly bumpy, but my wits helped me easily handle the rugged conditions.
After finding the perfect spot , I settled in a quiet place, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of a babbling brook. It was the perfect setting for some training. My abilities had become more powerful, but I needed to understand them better.
Before I started my training, I took a moment to close my eyes and sent out my trusty crow scouts to ensure the area was free of any nosy onlookers.
I couldn't risk someone capturing me on video using my powers; it would probably lead to a government manhunt, ending with me in a secret lab being dissected. And trust me, that's not on my list of fun weekend activities.
After making sure that the coast was clear, I began by honing my telekinetic abilities.
Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and focused on a fist-sized stone right in front of me.
With concentration, I managed to lift the stone above the ground and moved it around. As I gained more control, I expanded my efforts, manipulating more and more stones.
50 stones floating in the air, and I was still able to control them. But I was just getting started.
60
70
80
90
The count continued to rise until I had a staggering 100 stones hovering around me, all under my complete control. I could lift more rocks but my control would be affected .
I felt powerful after imagining the destructive potential of hurling these stones at a group of enemies.
"Too OP," I chuckled to myself, envisioning how I could put this power to use.
As I delved deeper into my training, I realized that telekinesis was not just about moving objects. It was about understanding the blue energy that connected me to the world around me. With each passing moment, I felt a stronger connection to my surroundings, to the very earth beneath my feet.
With a satisfied grin, I decided to push my abilities further. I focused on a boulder around 0.4 cubic meters (1,080 kilograms ) , challenging myself to lift it into the air.
It was a hard task, but my power surged through me, and with effort, the rock began to rise slowly.
My heart raced as the massive stone hovered around 10 feet in the air before me.
"Wait, if I keep leveling up my Mind Power, could I eventually pull off that technique?"
A sudden realization struck me! I stared at the boulder under my control and thought about a technique I'd seen in an anime – It was from an a character so overpowered that the author had to remove him from the story.
This technique involved dropping a massive rock capable of decimating an entire city. At my current skill level, I could only lift this boulder, but who knew what the future might hold? I had the potential to earn attribute points almost endlessly, and the thought of mastering such a technique in the future left me with a mischievous grin.
'Should I practice my hand seal technique ?" I joke around as I played with fingers bringing them closer .
"Tengai Sh*nsei!" I muttered to myself, and with that, the large rock dropped to the ground
*BOOM!
The impact created a very small crater, not enough to level a city, but certainly sufficient to turn someone into a corned beef.
"This is better than I expected," I chuckled to myself but before I could celebrate I felt light headed . A sudden surge of pain attack my brain.
'Fuck ! I exhausted my mind power ," I tried to stabilized my breathing as I sat on the ground knelling.
