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…”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtPb76dNWd
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sQaCJc1mk
“Miss Linsha, then I won’t interrupt you today.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfwNN4jWZJ
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.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QeaheBvEm
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91IvepuLHT
[If it's my fault, you can yell at me, but how can you get others involved?]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2imbM5WBow
“Miss Tenys, are you all right?” Linsha inquired with concern, diverting her attention from Chris.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡateTYnpZxP
“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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtjfTPdm4i
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagzP4EIOHV
"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]

However, Yaming was caught off guard by the unexpected notices.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnusAckaX6
Haa? No...what's happening? I'm not even human; how can I become a level 2 adventurer?! When do I have personal tasks???
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBytrlTReY
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhTPHy33ou
Haa? When did this thing appear?
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUCXae7GbM
Clicking on the envelope, Yaming discovered the system mailbox. The first mail was "Personal Quest Now Released: Become an Adventurer."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWyZZZDZrG
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Givhd8Cf
"But... it is clearly Linsha who has been promoted to Level 2 Adventurer, not me.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYSKTwVNCW
Confused, Yaming wondered if, while being a parasite on someone, they could complete system tasks on his behalf.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0BZH5khJa
No, that's quite outrageous, isn't it? Is this a system bug or compensation for my bad start?
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSB4VOPtET
I just recalled the beginner's guide mentioning a refined competition system for decades, ruling out the possibility of bugs.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKM7mK7TAV
Forget it... Don't think about it now; let's look at the rewards.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqVp9mefoN
Yaming clicked on the next two mails. The first is the reward for being an adventurer... the magical power engine.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56X4tjMhMS
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqbXIrXneJ
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7aSwP38TB
“As a plant, I cannot be equipped with magic armor."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn9CSzOc9S
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?
