Chapter 102 Check Out the Dungeons
The male celebrities clearly wanted to approach Joanna, but Nighthowl and Alwyn stood on either side of her like guardians. Their fierce stares scared off anyone who came too close.
Still, Katherine, who ranked second, walked over to exchange contact information with Joanna.
“Joanna, don’t listen to them. That’s just jealousy. They even said I only got second because of my team’s score. Please. That record was earned with real effort.
“You cleared the dungeon in 17 seconds and have over 9,000 base attributes. That’s real strength. No one can deny that.
“You’ll definitely crush people from other universes in the cross-stellar trial.
“The trial is mostly public dungeons. If we run into each other, please help me out,” Katherine said candidly.
Joanna smiled. “Sure p>
Katherine didn’t stay long and went off to talk with others.
Finding the banquet boring, Joanna scanned the room and noticed Maverick looking gloomy.
Tonight should’ve been a celebration. Instead of guaranteed admission, Joanna now had to fight through a five-million-person cross-stellar trial.
Maverick was deeply frustrated.
If he weren’t responsible for protecting Joanna, he’d probably be drowning his mood in wine already.
Just then, Joanna walked over carrying a basket of fruit.
Lopez, these are for you. They’re rewards from the Fruit vs. Zombies dungeon. I never got chance to give them to you before p>
“Oh?” Maverick received daily reports on Joanna and knew she’d cleared that dungeon swiftly.
He’d even searched online for strategies after learning about her Memory Tome and discovered her alternate identity.
But he hadn’t known the rewards included a Gold-tier item.
Clearly, Joanna had kept an ace up her sleeve.

Now, giving that as a gift was also a gesture of comfort.
Maverick immediately felt a bit better.
“Good, good. Thank you, Joanna. These fruits mean a lot. They prove youre far above the average pro. You’re the strongest one here. Don’t give up. In the cross-stellar tall, you might do even better-maybe even reach the top ten p>
He was already planning to post the fruit on his social feed to make the other ministers jealous.
He’d backed the top scorer and a dungeon-clearing monster. Not choosing Joanna for guaranteed admission was their biggest mistake.
Joanna hadn’t thought that far.
She just felt Maverick kept giving her things, so returning the favor was right.
Also, with him acting as her protector, it was safer to keep him informed.
She also needed to watch out for David and Irene pulling more tricks against her.
She couldn’t afford to stumble before the real fight even started.
“Mr. Lopez, I think I’m done with this banquet. Can I go check out the dungeons in Redlight City? They’re different from ours. There might be some good ones for me. There are still ten days before the cross-stellar trial. I want to prepare more and get stronger p>
erick’s eyes lit up right away.
Exactly! Redlight City’s Dungeon Plaza has way more choices than Violetlight City. You can break their records, wipe out their clear times, and slap Mr. Chandler in the face with results. Show him how wrong he was not picking you!
“But you just finished the SAT. Isn’t diving into dungeons again too tiring? Shouldn’t you rest p>
Though he said that, he was itching to drag Joanna to the dungeon portals immediately.
Deep down, he was honestly impressed.
The SAT had just ended, and she already wanted another dungeon run.

He was in his 60s, yet his mindset was worse than that of an 18-year-old girl’s.
“No need. I already slept almost ten hours in the lounge earlier. That’s the most sleep I’ve had in days p>
For an entire month, she’d only slept four hours a night. Ten hours felt luxurious.
Even though the SAT was over, her battles were far from done.
Maverick said, “Perfect timing. I know some dungeon guides in Redlight City. A few are perfect for you right now. How about I come along and watch you clear them p>
Joanna moved with Astral Step constantly. Maverick worried she’d blink away and leave him behind.
In truth, he didn’t need to worry. Joanna planned to keep him as her bodyguard.
