Chapter 123
Chapter 123 A Huge Opportunity
Within minutes, the more than 20,000 life jackets Joanna had listed in her personal showcase were all sold out, earning her 200 million on the spot.
After that, the inflatable swim rings were gradually bought up as well. There were only a little over ten thousand of those, but they brought in 500 million.
Two small fishing boats were also sold, earning another one million.
It really was first-come, first-served.
Items that were originally thought only suckers would buy ended up selling out completely. As Joanna slaughtered monsters at terrifying speed, the teams stuck in the middle of the city were forced to move through seawater, causing every last life jacket and swim ring to vanish from the market.
Some people had even cursed Joanna earlier for charging too much.
Now people were complaining that she’d sold too few, and some hadn’t managed to buy any at all.
At this moment, the seawater inside the city had risen to around six feet. The professionals were strong. Some fast-moving teams took action early, trying to swim toward the edge of the city.
An hour passed.
Joanna’s points climbed steadily to 720,000.
The growth was extremely stable.
Now the seawater flooded the city like a raging torrent. The water depth had reached nearly 26 feet, pitch-black and surging with terrifying force.
Inside the city, all buildings below the third floor were completely submerged.
The cliff where Joanna stood, being at the very edge of the coast, had been relentlessly battered by waves and was now fully underwater.
Luckily, the gold-and-crimson sofa could float about 65 feet above the ground or water level. So as the water level rose, the sofa rose with it—which, at least, was a good thing.
But the number of monsters in this dungeon was truly insane. Too many. Too dense.
And
way too comfortable.

Joanna killed 70 million monsters in one hour. If she could keep this up for 20 hours, she could soothe the two targets seven times.
Her overall attributes could be boosted once again.
So Joanna didn’t tell Nighthowl or Alwyn to hold back at all.
Let others have a way out? Share points with other people?
Is this about points?
This was about time. About growth. About the brutal road to the heavens that Joanna had clawed her way onto.
There was no hiding her strength.
She wanted everyone to see her power. Only then would more big shots like Maverick notice her potential and sponsor her-instead of people like Hugo Chandler, who looked down on her just because she “only” had an S-rank talent, even blocking her path.
Today, they wanted her to give up her slot at Voidstar University.
Tomorrow, would they ask her to give up her place in the Divine and Demonic Training Camp?
Impossible.
This time, she would win without suspense and crush everyone.
Inside the dungeon.
Three hours passed.
Joanna’s points had reached 2.3 million.
Outside.
Hugo, Minister of Chromatic Star, looked calm and indifferent.
He didn’t think he had done anything wrong.
“Joanna is performing well. It’s right that she doesn’t go to Voidstar University. With her strength, she can enter a better school and give the slot to someone who needs it p>
Maverick smiled broadly and nodded, though his words carried a sharp, mocking edge.

“Exactly. Look at Ivan-he’s doing nothing now. He entered the dungeon and performed
poorly. With results like that, getting into Voidstar University would be extremely difficult. Without guaranteed admission, an SSS-rank talent would just go to waste. Sigh, this dungeon- based college exam really ruins lives p>
Hugo furrowed his brow.
Beside them, Nicholas immediately shot Maverick frantic looks, practically begging him to shut up.
Are you trying to get yourself fired?
Mocking Mr. Chandler like that?
Maverick didn’t care. Even at his worst, he was still level 60. Wherever he went, he could be a leader. The Ministry of Education was rotten to the core—if that didn’t work out, he’d just head to the front-line battlefield.
“Ahem. Joanna’s outcome is already decided. Let’s see how the others are doing p>
“Right, the fight for second place is getting fierce p>
“A few people’s points are rising fast p>
“Katherine’s points jumped really quickly. She’s already in the top hundred p>
“She gave up team scoring. She’s solo hunting now, but her teammates are still helping her p>
“That girl’s sharp p>
Inside the Star Domain Battle dungeon.
After one hour in the dungeon, Katherine’s team spent one million dollars to buy a speedboat.
“This isn’t working. Without a boat, we can’t rack up points, and our evaluation results will be terrible. Don’t worry-I’ve got company backing. This amount of money is nothing p>
Even though they were on the same team, the resources Katherine had were far beyond the others.
The speedboat could seat five people. Riding it, they could cruise along the city’s flooded streets, hunting monsters with excellent mobility.
They then approached the city’s edge, battling sea monsters on the surface and scavenging any that escaped.

However, their points were far from sufficient.
Their rankings hovered around the three million mark, unable to pull ahead.
“If only Joanna released more monsters. Katherine, how about we go talk to Joanna and ask her to give us some special treatment-let loose more sea beasts for us to kill p>
Katherine rolled her eyes. “If you want to ask, you go ask. I don’t have that kind of nerve. And don’t think this is a bad thing-this is actually a huge opportunity p>
