Mysterious energy born from the heart not only served as vigilant eyes scanning the surroundings but could also carry sound to specific recipients without any tools.
By concentrating this energy, it could even influence physical objects in reality!
After last night’s practice, Chen Lin’s psionic abilities had strengthened significantly. Manipulating small objects was no longer a challenge.
March 7th stared wide-eyed at the dining fork on the table, bouncing as though it had come to life.
“What an interesting ability!”
“Must make rummaging through trash bins super convenient, right?”
Dan Heng nodded, ignoring Stelle, who was completely preoccupied with thoughts of trash bins. With a faint smile, he remarked, “Congratulations. You’ve gained yet another unique strength to aid you on your journey.”
They had all heard about how Chen Lin had created a scientific system called Psionic Theory back at the Herta Space Station. When he first boarded the Astral Express, he often borrowed Dan Heng’s computer. Back then, Dan Heng had noticed that although Chen Lin appeared youthful, the technical theories he mastered had long surpassed individual scope, reaching the level of entire civilizations.
Combined with the mysterious ship that had once aided them, it was clear that Chen Lin’s secrets might be far more profound and complex than anyone else’s.
Dan Heng understood this but never asked. None of them did. Unless someone chose to share their story, no one would pry into the others’ secrets.
As friends, they all sincerely celebrated Chen Lin’s achievements.
“By the way, Chen Lin, how powerful can your psionic abilities become at their peak?”
On the way back to their rooms, March 7th couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity. “It sounds so mysterious and impressive.”
“Theoretically, if mastered to the extreme, you could do anything you imagine—even move freely between dimensions in an instant.”
The scope of psionic abilities was vast and complex. In the memories lodged in Chen Lin’s mind, controlling immense psionic energy alone remained theoretical. Most psionics could only establish mental wavelengths and awaken some quirky powers.
But true mastery over colossal psionic energy? That would probably allow one to tear through dimensional rifts barehanded, wandering through them unchallenged. Even vendors would avoid you, fearing you’d drain them dry…
After briefly tidying up their rooms and greeting Chen Lin, March 7th and the others left the hotel. They hadn’t forgotten the task he had given them. Besides, the guards of the Silvermane had always been quite welcoming.
Recently, they had taken on a commission to train new recruits for the Silvermane Guards. After all, with several officers injured during the incident on the Commercial Street, there was a wave of new recruits to train. It sounded like fun!
Back in his room, Chen Lin sat on his bed, chatting on his phone.
Asta often sent him intriguing interstellar gossip—like scams luring innocent civilians to remote systems to harvest their organs, or people finding rat heads in chip bags sold by a major snack company, only for the company to claim the “rat head” was just an oddly shaped chip during a press conference.
Such bizarre stories were a daily occurrence, filling Chen Lin’s phone. As someone who got along well with Asta, he didn’t mind sparing time to chat with the hardworking young lady who busied herself at the Space Station.
As for Herta? Ever since Chen Lin sent her the latest chapter of Psionic Theory, she’d gone radio silent. Perhaps she was lost in her Simulated Universe experiments.
Asta: Taking a bath and getting ready to sleep. Bye-bye, Chen Lin!
Chen Lin: Goodnight.
Work and rest schedules naturally differed across regions. While Chen Lin’s day was just beginning, it might already be quitting time at the Herta Space Station.
Just then, there was a noise outside, followed by a knock at the door.
Chen Lin got up and opened the door, finding Bronya standing straight-backed, with Pela behind her, her eyes reflecting a lighter mood.
“Mentor…”
“Heh, come on in. I’ll explain everything properly.”
Before Bronya could speak, Chen Lin stepped aside, letting them enter. This kind of scene had played out dozens of times by now. The two entered naturally.
“My request to share hydroponic farming technology with Belobog has been approved. This method allows crops to grow in even the harshest environments and ensures that most crops can be harvested within half a month using specially designed nutrient solutions.”
“What?!”
Pela was dumbfounded. “Sir, are you sure this information is accurate?”
“Absolutely,” Chen Lin replied. “I’ve examined Belobog’s staple crops. These two basic food variants are common across the galaxy and fully compatible with hydroponic farming conditions.”
He continued while scribbling notes, “The materials and blueprints for setting up the farms will be provided by us. The nutrient solutions will also be supplied free of charge. As for technical guidance, I’ll personally handle that…”
Bronya asked, “So all we need to provide is…?”
“Just enough space for the setup.”
This wasn’t a deal—it was a completely gratuitous act of support. As the beneficiary, Belobog only needed to provide space for the facilities. Everything else would be freely provided by the empire backing Chen Lin.
His homeland is as warm and generous as he is, Bronya thought. But given Belobog’s weakness, they probably didn’t even qualify to meet with Chen Lin’s higher-ranking officials. If possible, she would love to witness the civilizations beyond the vast expanse of the stars.
“There’s more.” Chen Lin walked over to the nightstand, retrieving two phones and handing them to the pair. “These are gifts—just something personal. I had a colleague aboard my ship send them over last night. They’re common communication devices in the galaxy. Let’s exchange signal addresses first, and then…”
The novelty of the items immediately captured Bronya’s and Pela’s attention. They listened intently as Chen Lin explained how to use the devices, eventually giving them a try.
No matter how far apart they were, messages could be delivered instantly to the other device.
Bronya marveled, “This is incredible! It completely eliminates the need for couriers to deliver messages. The speed and accuracy are astounding!”
Pela nodded, analyzing, “Equipping the military with such communication tools would vastly improve command efficiency, minimizing delays in critical operations…”
Giving them phones was just the beginning. Chen Lin interrupted their excitement with another revelation:
“Bronya, Pela, we’ve already mastered the process of synthesizing [Geothermal Marrow]. I was planning to show you today. Are you free?”
“Oh?” Both of them looked surprised, then nodded eagerly.
“Free! We gotta see!”
