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…”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6MBCPuyRZ
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4bJJrH9qP
“Miss Linsha, then I won’t interrupt you today.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YyM4U82wj
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.]
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUiSmS5SxE
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWCG8NtfMe
[If it's my fault, you can yell at me, but how can you get others involved?]
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8JfH4EJUm
“Miss Tenys, are you all right?” Linsha inquired with concern, diverting her attention from Chris.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hmgvnVkyf
“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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37mPZl3JFu
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVlf5G3Vf2
"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]
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfCmSpCGZZ
However, Yaming was caught off guard by the unexpected notices.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EL5kfkImk
Haa? No...what's happening? I'm not even human; how can I become a level 2 adventurer?! When do I have personal tasks???
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJTUXvyyGo
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOePadvnjbS
Haa? When did this thing appear?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFroplYzqGw
Clicking on the envelope, Yaming discovered the system mailbox. The first mail was "Personal Quest Now Released: Become an Adventurer."
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Gdq9j2xu
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpu9bXm3mI
"But... it is clearly Linsha who has been promoted to Level 2 Adventurer, not me.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC5MnnZwmW
Confused, Yaming wondered if, while being a parasite on someone, they could complete system tasks on his behalf.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOJgrpe0If
No, that's quite outrageous, isn't it? Is this a system bug or compensation for my bad start?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvHM876f3M
I just recalled the beginner's guide mentioning a refined competition system for decades, ruling out the possibility of bugs.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfw3ZEvt53
Forget it... Don't think about it now; let's look at the rewards.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7YD8748JS
Yaming clicked on the next two mails. The first is the reward for being an adventurer... the magical power engine.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiIXIv4Qgj
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bVzqm5ayU
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml6xouqu16
“As a plant, I cannot be equipped with magic armor."
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagBMewpGM4
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?
