Chapter 12: The Magic Power Engine
231Please respect copyright.PENANAwHFVFvngqa
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.
231Please respect copyright.PENANAdY3l5Xfxvk
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…”
231Please respect copyright.PENANAmkdhUKZJY6
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.
231Please respect copyright.PENANA11jMfqT3ND
“Miss Linsha, then I won’t interrupt you today.”
231Please respect copyright.PENANAisVxgLnb9R
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.
231Please respect copyright.PENANACuTnU2wduk
[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.]
231Please respect copyright.PENANAs9qAwuPy3T
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.
231Please respect copyright.PENANAUGm1Uv1JxJ
[If it's my fault, you can yell at me, but how can you get others involved?]
231Please respect copyright.PENANAy1DJov5MXf
“Miss Tenys, are you all right?” Linsha inquired with concern, diverting her attention from Chris.
231Please respect copyright.PENANAFTiPqBnVQi
“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.
231Please respect copyright.PENANAxh3sqwiCTW
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.
231Please respect copyright.PENANAAnuyo0bHhC
"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]
231Please respect copyright.PENANA31Q9Cx79Ab
However, Yaming was caught off guard by the unexpected notices.
231Please respect copyright.PENANAw25C84JQOt
Haa? No...what's happening? I'm not even human; how can I become a level 2 adventurer?! When do I have personal tasks???
231Please respect copyright.PENANAyeEJ2O3sz7
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.
231Please respect copyright.PENANA7JTcLXGryW
Haa? When did this thing appear?
231Please respect copyright.PENANAYPFh9UQDXk
Clicking on the envelope, Yaming discovered the system mailbox. The first mail was "Personal Quest Now Released: Become an Adventurer."
231Please respect copyright.PENANAB664frmOBd
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.
231Please respect copyright.PENANAXx2bSfSQyO
"But... it is clearly Linsha who has been promoted to Level 2 Adventurer, not me.”
231Please respect copyright.PENANA09h1nAobUH
Confused, Yaming wondered if, while being a parasite on someone, they could complete system tasks on his behalf.
231Please respect copyright.PENANALZNmQbru2t
No, that's quite outrageous, isn't it? Is this a system bug or compensation for my bad start?
231Please respect copyright.PENANAIJUNYIQO0Q
I just recalled the beginner's guide mentioning a refined competition system for decades, ruling out the possibility of bugs.
231Please respect copyright.PENANApfvsy8kov8
Forget it... Don't think about it now; let's look at the rewards.
231Please respect copyright.PENANAQq54VG0hHQ
Yaming clicked on the next two mails. The first is the reward for being an adventurer... the magical power engine.
231Please respect copyright.PENANA15DuhRK8z2
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.
231Please respect copyright.PENANATxvXavK2md
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.
231Please respect copyright.PENANAUhXjIosmxu
“As a plant, I cannot be equipped with magic armor."
231Please respect copyright.PENANAdzVgrbQSaI
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?
