Chapter 12: The Magic Power Engine

Although the exhalation reaction is very small, it is unprecedented for a saint like Linsha to take a deep breath due to dissatisfaction with others; this simple change can be considered a qualitative improvement.

In particular, Yaming was quite suspicious. To prevent Linsha from discovering any issues with her body, he subtly exploited Linsha's dissatisfaction, using all his mental power to enhance Linsha's sympathy for the front desk lady...

Seeing the front desk lady so frightened that she turned pale, Linsha felt sympathy for her. Exaggerated sympathy mixed with a trace of dissatisfaction towards Chris, resulting in a new emotion: disgust. Not a passive physical hatred of strange men, but a subjective loathing of Chris as a person. Though it was subtle, it was enough to make Linsha angry.

“Miss Linsha…”
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvkA41QEtm
Looking at the slightly unfamiliar Linsha in front of him and in his memory, Chris opened his mouth to explain something. He realized today seemed to be his unlucky day, and continuing might lead to trouble.

“Miss Linsha, then I won’t interrupt you today.”
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCmXMADD8M
After a very polite greeting, Chris left with the others present. Linsha couldn't help but feel soft when she looked at Chris's "lonely" figure.

[How could I be angry with him? The reason was originally because I failed to treat him in time, leading to his mental exhaustion and deteriorating nerves.]

Thinking of this, Linsha wanted to call Chris back, but before the words came out, she remembered Miss Tenys, who was very afraid of Chris.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlLJTArDVg
[If it's my fault, you can yell at me, but how can you get others involved?]
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0iNLpc9Py
“Miss Tenys, are you all right?” Linsha inquired with concern, diverting her attention from Chris.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gWzOGccnA
“It's okay; thank you for your concern!” The front desk lady, now recovered from her fear, waved indifferently and resumed helping Linsha with the promotion procedures.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneVBi6j75n
In contrast to the polite attitude during Chris's presence, the front desk lady appeared more casual. Linsha, though a noble like Chris, kept her identity secret, revealing it only to him and bringing just two guards when leaving her house.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnSaR9bmGQ
"Okay, it's done!" The receptionist handed Linsha the new adventure card with a smile. “Congratulations, Linsha; you are one step closer to your dream!”

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on completing his personal mission: to become an adventurer]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on completing his personal quest: Promotion to Level 2 Adventurer]
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj4Z4rFI0H
However, Yaming was caught off guard by the unexpected notices.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokp7C81knG
Haa? No...what's happening? I'm not even human; how can I become a level 2 adventurer?! When do I have personal tasks???
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFiqixOK5m
Perplexed, Yaming opened his status board and closed his eyes to search for it. Eventually, he found a small envelope flashing slightly in the upper right corner.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPkNEXNosM
Haa? When did this thing appear?
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVJEEpZi6b
Clicking on the envelope, Yaming discovered the system mailbox. The first mail was "Personal Quest Now Released: Become an Adventurer."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpSYeqqnkJ
Considering the time this message was sent, it seems he received it during his battle with the goblin shaman. After the fight, Yaming swallowed the magic amethyst, recovering the 12,000 points lost in the silver treasure. Busy experimenting with his upgraded skills, he missed the mail until the system prompted its activation.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurCtx4SPP7
"But... it is clearly Linsha who has been promoted to Level 2 Adventurer, not me.”
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02wI2sojgU
Confused, Yaming wondered if, while being a parasite on someone, they could complete system tasks on his behalf.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ7gmgvhP7
No, that's quite outrageous, isn't it? Is this a system bug or compensation for my bad start?
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ir8OEk7i
I just recalled the beginner's guide mentioning a refined competition system for decades, ruling out the possibility of bugs.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDUhY2gsym
Forget it... Don't think about it now; let's look at the rewards.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT64Etl7lzJ
Yaming clicked on the next two mails. The first is the reward for being an adventurer... the magical power engine.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVQXBFeDH5
The Magic Power Engine is the first reward for all contestants. Palm-sized magical energy shields enhance various abilities when equipped. Completing system tasks later can provide crystal cards to boost the power of magic armor, serving as an additional component for contestants.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4iOfzxeNb
However, using this magic has its downside: it exposes the user's identity. Only contestants can use magic engines, and if equipped with magic armor, it would undoubtedly reveal the user as a contestant.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M5PdRcecN
“As a plant, I cannot be equipped with magic armor."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfZBzQDrjI
Curious, Yaming wondered: If Linsha, who snooped on him, could complete his personal mission, could she equip the magic armor on his behalf? Would other contestants think Linsha is the participant, unaware that Yaming, a parasite in her body, is the mastermind behind the scenes?
