Chapter 12: The Magic Power Engine
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLta2kQJHWh
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFYglEOwdJ
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…”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ogem4Wat
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHJ0rWmJP0
“Miss Linsha, then I won’t interrupt you today.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwoETZUWr6
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.]
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzvDR0n0KF
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZtB25nxCy
[If it's my fault, you can yell at me, but how can you get others involved?]
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZmkTzVRiE
“Miss Tenys, are you all right?” Linsha inquired with concern, diverting her attention from Chris.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwfHK9rRMY
“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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdSVyynfUF
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Zb0Y6onm
"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]
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqbf6VDeWB
However, Yaming was caught off guard by the unexpected notices.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfeZVGoNOg
Haa? No...what's happening? I'm not even human; how can I become a level 2 adventurer?! When do I have personal tasks???
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXdaD7CyNY
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1ws7TmZV8
Haa? When did this thing appear?
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhgEYpfN2Q
Clicking on the envelope, Yaming discovered the system mailbox. The first mail was "Personal Quest Now Released: Become an Adventurer."
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ8wowuK4W
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW8LbmbloE
"But... it is clearly Linsha who has been promoted to Level 2 Adventurer, not me.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUSjfKsdVF
Confused, Yaming wondered if, while being a parasite on someone, they could complete system tasks on his behalf.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8EjtYY0qu
No, that's quite outrageous, isn't it? Is this a system bug or compensation for my bad start?
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqCRtyE5KX
I just recalled the beginner's guide mentioning a refined competition system for decades, ruling out the possibility of bugs.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjP1zjdpJX
Forget it... Don't think about it now; let's look at the rewards.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bCr9bf7zi
Yaming clicked on the next two mails. The first is the reward for being an adventurer... the magical power engine.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkAKRC9Ovv
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpetuns4avr
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qiuuQ7DO4
“As a plant, I cannot be equipped with magic armor."
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7OD1qshnz
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?
