Chapter 226
Chapter 227 Pay to Be Carried
“Get lost p>
“I can pay credits too!” Hank blurted out, panicking. Of course, he wanted Joanna to carry him.
“Hank, you’re the worst,” someone shot back. “Do you really want to hog Joanna all to yourself? She already carried you once-that’s enough. More importantly, don’t you want to improve? You’re a tank. Have you considered building your own team and developing your skills? Do you think Joanna can carry you for life p>
After delivering that speech, he turned to Joanna.
“Joanna, I’m nothing like Hank. I don’t want to work hard. I just want you to carry me p>
Great. Orion had completely led these students astray.
And honestly, Joanna couldn’t keep carrying the same batch of people. She still had homework to finish, including reports on how different team setups performed.
Besides, free credits were still credits.
“Listen up,” Joanna said. “If you come with me into a dungeon, you won’t learn much, but it’ll be fast. Half a credit per person. If you’re in, send a request p>
In seconds, her request list shot past 50 people.
Joanna picked four based on application time and pulled them into the dungeon.
Those four were also recording footage for their assignments.
“Even though we don’t learn anything,” one of them said cheerfully, “this still counts as completing the requirement: How to get a top player to carry you in three sentences p>
Joanna was farming dungeons and carrying people on this side.
At the same time, all universities under the Space Alliance officially started the new term.
Legendary and epic-tier schools copied the academy and set up training programs. These programs weren’t for elimination but for selection. New students with strong results were given extra resources, such as origin-plane energy or access to high-quality dungeons.
Universities below Diamond-tier didn’t have training programs. They only ran seven days of boot camp so students could adapt quickly.
Now that school had started, courses were being assigned.
Their first dungeon wasn’t Nightmare-tier. It was only hard-tier.
The professor announced the assignment.
“For your next extracurricular task, you need to clear “Gaze of the Unknown Evil God (Hard- tier)”. The strategy guide is in the strategy group. Search for Nightstar p>
At that moment, a student hesitated and raised his hand.
“Professor, why can’t I find it p>
“Hmm? Everyone else found it. Why can’t you p>
The student paused, then said awkwardly, “The system says I’ve been blocked by her. But I don’t even know anyone named Nightstar p>
The professor was puzzled. He searched it himself, then frowned.
“You really don’t know her? Nightstar is very famous. She’s the top student at the academy. You two joined the same Star Domain Battle, didn’t you? Wait-did you offend her during that battle p>
“What?” the student exclaimed. “You mean Joanna? She managed to get into the academy p>
His eyes went wide.
Back then, he hadn’t just cursed Joanna and called her a scammer. He even joined Arron in attacking her.
That was exactly when Joanna blocked him.
He never imagined that one day offending Joanna would stop him from completing his homework.
“Professor,” he pleaded, “can I change the assignment p>
“Change it? Change to what?” the professor snapped. “Go find another guide yourself.
“Let me make this clear. Our school follows the academy closely. Many dungeons are released to us only after academy students clear them first.
“From what I’ve heard, the academy strategy group has just over 200 students. Nightstar alone is worth ten of them combined. There’s about a ten percent chance that any guide you find was written by her. You’d better fix this problem early, or it might affect your studies p>
The student clenched his teeth. Ten percent? He didn’t believe it. How bad could it be?

He paid for that optimism soon enough.
Because he couldn’t see Joanna’s guides, he had to rely on others. But those guides couldn’t include content too similar to hers, or they’d be flagged as duplicates and rejected.
So they skipped key points and focused on minor details. They were useless.
It was just like when Joanna first revealed the Crimson Throne dungeon. She only talked about what happened after the throne was destroyed. The boss’s defense dropped. The tank role became easier. She didn’t explain anything else.
Those kinds of guides got views, but they didn’t really help.
On top
of that, the other universities used random matchmaking. Joanna blocked this student, leaving him without a comprehensive guide. He also didn’t have a fixed team. Once he entered the dungeon, he kept making mistakes.
The team leader finally snapped and gave a classic lesson in “How to Pressure a Bad Teammate p>
“What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you read the guide before coming in? If everyone played like you, how would we ever clear this?
“One tiny mistake from you almost wiped the whole team. Are you rich or something? Did you bring a Substitute Scarecrow with you p>
