Joanna’s eyes lit up. She opened her portable dungeon at once and sent Alwyn inside.

The moment Alwyn entered, light spread across his body. A short while later, fruit on several trees ripened again.
The ability was insanely strong.
Joanna quickly harvested the fruit and put it up for sale on the marketplace.
Half an hour later, she had earned 20 million Starcoins.
Adding the bonus rewards from Fruit vs. Zombies, plus the money she had saved before, Joanna now held 25 million Starcoins.
So much money.
And money was meant to be spent.
Joanna didn’t just need gear for herself. Her two contracted companions needed gear too. They needed potions. They needed training.
“Alwyn,” Joanna said, “what kind of weapon do you like? I sold the fruits. I can buy you a full set of gear to boost your strength p>
“Does it really make a difference?” Alwyn asked politely.
His combat power was already strong. He didn’t feel he needed gear.
But Joanna thought this mattered a lot. It would decide the team’s future direction.
“It depends on the role you want on the team,” she explained. “Your attribute points say you’re suited to be a tank. But many of your skills are magic-based p>
After listening carefully, Alwyn chose the front-line tank role.
It was a position that protected the entire team.
Once that was decided, choosing weapons became easy.
Bulwark Shield (Silver Tier)-Price: 9.28 million Starcoins
Silverfang Dagger (Silver Tier)-Price: 2.1 million Starcoins
Tank gear decided whether a team could survive a boss’s attacks. That was why it cost much

more than gear for other roles.

Silverfang daggers were different. Warriors used them a lot, and many blacksmiths made them, so prices kept dropping.
After the purchase. Joanna still had 13 million Starcoins left.
Wanting to be fair, she also bought Alwyn a full set of Knight’s Formal Coat.
Now, standing beside Joanna were two knights in equally luxurious gear. One on the left. One on the right. Her sense of safety shot through the roof.
With 4 million Starcoins remaining. Joanna bought herself one more piece of Silver-tier gear.
“Venom Spider Lady’s Hat (Silver Tier)
“Defense -390. Vitality -40. Agility +40, Spirit +220
“Special Effects: Web Barrier, Face Concealment, Aura of Mystery
“Note: Female-only equipment p>
The hat was black, with a slanted veil shaped like a spiderweb. It covered Joanna’s eyes.
Her face was hidden. People would remember the outfit, not the person.
It made her look mysterious.
Joanna also remembered that this hat could increase affinity points. But if affinity grew too high, she could also hide those points.
Mystery-type gear always had strange effects.
Joanna was very satisfied.
“Alright,” she said cheerfully. “Money’s gone. Let’s grab lunch and go make more. How about some fast food today? Pizza, burgers, fruit salad, fried chicken, and ice cream p>
“Money’s gone,” Lucas said with a grin, “but to celebrate our team signing the contract today, let’s have lunch in the cafeteria p>
He was in a great mood. The negotiations had gone extremely well.
All five of them had signed with Amshien Group. The total contract value reached 15 million Starcoins, with 3 million allocated to each person.

As soon as they returned, they couldn’t wait to choose their Silver-tier gear.
At this price level, weapons were hard to afford. But they could buy the most important pieces first-armor, mage robes, and core equipment.
Once they put on Silver-tier gear, their attributes jumped by nearly 20%. That was the true power of Silver-tier equipment.
“No wonder Joanna cleared those dungeons,” Cedric said, laughing. “If I had this gear earlier, I’d have cleared them long ago. This mage robe is amazing. I really suffered before p>
Neil nodded in agreement.
“The company also gave us a detailed dungeon guide for Desolate Castle,” he added. “Plus a large spatial storage. We only need to clear ten dungeons a month and turn in resources. That’s easy p>
“And if we get into Prismbridge University,” another said, “they’ll provide dungeon guides during college and even reward a Silver-tier weapon. Big companies really are different p>
Rhoda finally felt the benefits of following a top-tier team. Well, formerly top-tier.
Her previous team would never have gotten an offer like this.
What they didn’t know was this: with a large spatial storage, the resources inside Desolate Castle alone were worth about 600,000 Starcoins per run. Five runs meant 6 million Starcoins per month turned in.
In just two and a half months, Amshien Group would recover their investment.
Meanwhile, the contract they signed locked them in for four years of college, plus three more years of employment after graduation.
