Chapter 12: The Magic Power Engine
120Please respect copyright.PENANAB1XzAx4Nd9
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAhgPv9BlIQe
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…”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAR6LMrA0Agl
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAOrq3JKcWnV
“Miss Linsha, then I won’t interrupt you today.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANA7qp1IGWvEI
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAEQlDmXO4D9
[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.]
120Please respect copyright.PENANAQl8x5o5u1C
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANALssQboybmZ
[If it's my fault, you can yell at me, but how can you get others involved?]
120Please respect copyright.PENANAHsefYC35v6
“Miss Tenys, are you all right?” Linsha inquired with concern, diverting her attention from Chris.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxW4vig7OvJ
“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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3v3xco5A0P
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANATeJ6sm9kk5
"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]
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vy01lW6i1
However, Yaming was caught off guard by the unexpected notices.
120Please respect copyright.PENANABs81w0fofd
Haa? No...what's happening? I'm not even human; how can I become a level 2 adventurer?! When do I have personal tasks???
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMYVpMROEnQ
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoQIxoEPJF1
Haa? When did this thing appear?
120Please respect copyright.PENANAUKa4Vmiioc
Clicking on the envelope, Yaming discovered the system mailbox. The first mail was "Personal Quest Now Released: Become an Adventurer."
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3wc0Dc1rfO
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAbGKUcI1B2V
"But... it is clearly Linsha who has been promoted to Level 2 Adventurer, not me.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYzBZ7fRwtf
Confused, Yaming wondered if, while being a parasite on someone, they could complete system tasks on his behalf.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKEOIVI9Ps1
No, that's quite outrageous, isn't it? Is this a system bug or compensation for my bad start?
120Please respect copyright.PENANAOYePygtaH1
I just recalled the beginner's guide mentioning a refined competition system for decades, ruling out the possibility of bugs.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfOW22bLQ5M
Forget it... Don't think about it now; let's look at the rewards.
120Please respect copyright.PENANACXVwiol3mB
Yaming clicked on the next two mails. The first is the reward for being an adventurer... the magical power engine.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAY6pMtVcu80
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoRDiBdpAFY
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANABAbS9MAerx
“As a plant, I cannot be equipped with magic armor."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAybo5fZMFy7
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?
