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…”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB5GwpdoCH
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcODXs4LUpn
“Miss Linsha, then I won’t interrupt you today.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3mMJiYDhT
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOCqgnPjvS
[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.]
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrSE6SfHbh
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDs6CaqOz3
[If it's my fault, you can yell at me, but how can you get others involved?]
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFa3XsVytW
“Miss Tenys, are you all right?” Linsha inquired with concern, diverting her attention from Chris.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj16ZloDWuL
“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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRmsZpq6VV
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.

"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]
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOFr6kGP9V
[Ding! Congratulations to the host on completing his personal quest: Promotion to Level 2 Adventurer]
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiVhjF4aAx
However, Yaming was caught off guard by the unexpected notices.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5XHGOkytX
Haa? No...what's happening? I'm not even human; how can I become a level 2 adventurer?! When do I have personal tasks???
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYQEqH8Eb6
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsaJOacSC3
Haa? When did this thing appear?
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBswfjLirg
Clicking on the envelope, Yaming discovered the system mailbox. The first mail was "Personal Quest Now Released: Become an Adventurer."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wksYPFlMx
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrHfH3Pqry
"But... it is clearly Linsha who has been promoted to Level 2 Adventurer, not me.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGptkDkWAVq
Confused, Yaming wondered if, while being a parasite on someone, they could complete system tasks on his behalf.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqSbjqmtEa
No, that's quite outrageous, isn't it? Is this a system bug or compensation for my bad start?
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlxl4y1CNG
I just recalled the beginner's guide mentioning a refined competition system for decades, ruling out the possibility of bugs.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVxGHBrPOC
Forget it... Don't think about it now; let's look at the rewards.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJBEy9RO4D
Yaming clicked on the next two mails. The first is the reward for being an adventurer... the magical power engine.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiDJNbgcxn
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJudJxinyuq
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIj828o8ai
“As a plant, I cannot be equipped with magic armor."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwYfwxGkHH
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?
