Chapter 12: The Magic Power Engine
237Please respect copyright.PENANAQ640zvBZEd
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAXsZ4gSbAIn
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...
237Please respect copyright.PENANAjCAyp9QbDc
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…”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA4iGeRM7oVY
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAZZST2AwLcU
“Miss Linsha, then I won’t interrupt you today.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA32iLJ6MfM2
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAQPY6lf8kWc
[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.]
237Please respect copyright.PENANAC2FYkqMYyc
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANArb9kiVunSv
[If it's my fault, you can yell at me, but how can you get others involved?]
237Please respect copyright.PENANAGauO5VUxVt
“Miss Tenys, are you all right?” Linsha inquired with concern, diverting her attention from Chris.
237Please respect copyright.PENANABwmgfRN9Hi
“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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA3xbEbLKrcM
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAPUT9MGcXfD
"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]
237Please respect copyright.PENANAkw5brs2xvY
[Ding! Congratulations to the host on completing his personal quest: Promotion to Level 2 Adventurer]
237Please respect copyright.PENANAMYRWyeadEZ
However, Yaming was caught off guard by the unexpected notices.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAno2elBuFSq
Haa? No...what's happening? I'm not even human; how can I become a level 2 adventurer?! When do I have personal tasks???
237Please respect copyright.PENANAKBEQZCEagx
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA2zEgN8OW0w
Haa? When did this thing appear?
237Please respect copyright.PENANAe0S6WfjyeR
Clicking on the envelope, Yaming discovered the system mailbox. The first mail was "Personal Quest Now Released: Become an Adventurer."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAm61yMootcN
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAYVHc9Qi9WU
"But... it is clearly Linsha who has been promoted to Level 2 Adventurer, not me.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANADT8FvBVZID
Confused, Yaming wondered if, while being a parasite on someone, they could complete system tasks on his behalf.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAuyCvcs2sPk
No, that's quite outrageous, isn't it? Is this a system bug or compensation for my bad start?
237Please respect copyright.PENANAvfav8arx83
I just recalled the beginner's guide mentioning a refined competition system for decades, ruling out the possibility of bugs.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAIEnI5D2Muw
Forget it... Don't think about it now; let's look at the rewards.
237Please respect copyright.PENANABGfTMKHWzo
Yaming clicked on the next two mails. The first is the reward for being an adventurer... the magical power engine.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA4z8wdpuxqE
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAyysZzdaxPw
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANABRe0gJXQpH
“As a plant, I cannot be equipped with magic armor."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAW552kSkQJf
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?
