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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQIfyNRVY
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...
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5yh8ZpcFU
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…”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZl5u36J3l
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.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8cdopFJG8
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj9VoIdeEj
[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.]
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn0yYo68HO
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJL6W9nQD0
[If it's my fault, you can yell at me, but how can you get others involved?]
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurLcU35vVZ
“Miss Tenys, are you all right?” Linsha inquired with concern, diverting her attention from Chris.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6TZBYhaRA
“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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPd8UyIZC2
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOekucR7ca
"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]
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC0k2ohRvY
However, Yaming was caught off guard by the unexpected notices.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cq2geTqn7
Haa? No...what's happening? I'm not even human; how can I become a level 2 adventurer?! When do I have personal tasks???
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tJldadG2J
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYC4qIso9z
Haa? When did this thing appear?
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp7PgwxzYl
Clicking on the envelope, Yaming discovered the system mailbox. The first mail was "Personal Quest Now Released: Become an Adventurer."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6b6vjckXF
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RhdKD0adU
"But... it is clearly Linsha who has been promoted to Level 2 Adventurer, not me.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5awMDiCHs9
Confused, Yaming wondered if, while being a parasite on someone, they could complete system tasks on his behalf.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xkmoVMsD4
No, that's quite outrageous, isn't it? Is this a system bug or compensation for my bad start?
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsbdltULbk
I just recalled the beginner's guide mentioning a refined competition system for decades, ruling out the possibility of bugs.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdDxZJrjkA
Forget it... Don't think about it now; let's look at the rewards.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JCpD5LUiD
Yaming clicked on the next two mails. The first is the reward for being an adventurer... the magical power engine.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsSOy9vpa9
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKXZSi4GhF
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVQC1CHRaV
“As a plant, I cannot be equipped with magic armor."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QFKrIKEt0
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?
