Chapter 117 Lone Walker
“Don’t worry. I won’t abandon you guys! Man, I’m sleepy. I’m going to sleep. We’ll continue
tomorrow p>
Joanna fell asleep peacefully.
Nighthowl and Alwyn couldn’t sleep. For once, they didn’t compete for attention. In the dark, they exchanged a look and quietly left the bedroom.
“Our contracted companion seems annoyed that we’re eating too much,” Nighthowl said.
“We need to kill more monsters.” Alwyn realized.
“During her six-hour sleep, I could run 72 dungeons. But I need to come back two hours early to make breakfast for Joanna.
“So, in four hours, I can do 48 runs. That’s around six million monsters. If I skip sleep for the next ten days, I can clear an extra 60 million,” Nighthowl said.
“I just need sunlight. I don’t need sleep either,” Alwyn said, squinting.
They looked at each other again. Then Nighthowl activated Star Teleport and took Alwyn to Dungeon Plaza.
Back in the bedroom, Joanna rolled over comfortably and kept sleeping with a sweet smile on her face.
In the blink of an eye, nine days passed.
During those nine days, Joanna ran dungeons for 18 hours every day and rested for six. She worked very hard.
The others in Ascension Tower weren’t slacking either. Everyone tried to improve themselves.
Some practiced combat moves.
Some contacted big companies to get investment and buy a top-tier skill.
Very few people ran dungeons.
Dungeon runs were tiring and risky, and people could get hurt. Even though you can level up there, what could they gain in just ten days? They wanted to stay in peak condition-maxed potion resistance and full stamina.

But for Joanna, grinding monsters was just a normal day.
With nonstop hunting and the five talents from Power Siphon, she never lacked energy or stamina anymore.
She had become the ultimate grind god.
Late at night on the ninth day, Joanna even triggered an achievement.
“System Notification: Achievement Unlocked. Clear 10,000 dungeons solo. Title earned: Lone Walker.
“Lone Walker (Silver-tier Title): When equipped, you can ignore player count requirements for dungeons. If you enter a dungeon solo, you gain an extra 5% Attack and 5% Defense p>
This was perfect for her.
But aside from this title and money, Joanna didn’t get any other loot during this time.
She had been hoping for another Nightmare-tier dungeon to pop up.
Sadly, in these nine days, Dungeon Plaza didn’t even get a Hard-tier dungeon, let alone a Nightmare one.
So Joanna could only keep grinding dungeons the usual way. Still, she earned way more than she ever did back in Violetlight City.
With only six hours left until the Star Domain Battle, Joanna finally reached Level 18.
She was still seven levels behind the all-time record, but she had done her best. Some other candidates were likely experienced professionals, not fresh graduates, so she couldn’t reach tha level anyway.
Still, her overall attributes had surpassed those students who only had one stat break past 4,000 and stats just over 10,000.
e from stat-boost items, free stat points from leveling up, and gifts from her ned beasts.
Her current four main stats: Vitality: 3143, Strength: 3073, Agility: 3089, Spirit: 3809
Her Spirit was just a bit short and could still be increased.
But Vitality, Strength, and Agility had all reached 3000, which meant -3 bonus points each. That was good news.
2/3
Her level also gave her an extra +4 points.
Overall, she had a big advantage.
Joanna slept peacefully.
Four hours later, she woke up. Nighthowl and Alwyn had already prepared breakfast, and she enjoyed a really good meal.
After that, the huge plaza in front of Ascension Tower was cleared out. All students in this year’s Chromatic Star with dungeon scores over 160 had arrived-more than 7,000 people.
They stood according to rankings. Joanna was naturally in first place. Katherine stood beside her, carrying a pitch-black longbow on her back, now with a glassy, shimmering glow to it.
Joanna looked at her, surprised.
“You had it enchanted p>
Enchanting adds extra stats and special effects to gear, but most people don’t bother doing it for Silver-tier equipment since it costs over a million credits and you’ll just replace the gear soon anyway. Even though Joanna had the money, she chose to save hers.
Right now, Joanna had a total of 10 billion.
Eight billion came from Amshien Group’s profit share. Louise had settled the payment early, just in case Joanna needed last-minute upgrades.
The remaining two billion came from Joanna’s dungeon runs.
In Gaze of the Unknown Evil God, Alwyn only used Sun Storm to clear monsters as fast as possible. The downside was that it destroyed most of the loot. But Joanna knew she couldn’t have everything, so she gave up short-term gains for efficiency.
