Chapter 315 An Impossible Gap
Luckily, people were always talking about Joanna on the academy forum.
“Breaking news! Joanna has reached Level 41 p>
“She only gained one level over the whole winter break. That’s nothing special,” Trystan said, his tone sharp with jealousy.
He himself had gained three levels during the break. He was already Level 33. He remembered it clearly-when freshman year started, that top student was only Level 34, and George was Level 32.
Now he had even passed George.
But only Trystan knew the truth. To level up fast, he had only taken Legendary-tier class- change quests. He paid others to clear them with him, then stayed in grind zones nonstop.
Even so, his real strength was nowhere near the top student’s and not even close to George’s.
His problem was his stats. His attribute points were too low.
That was a common flaw among strategy-track students. As long as their level was high, they could unlock more dungeons and sell guide services. There would always be someone strong enough to protect them.
Trystan felt confident. At this pace, he would surpass Joanna soon.
She was the
top
student, sure, but he was only a little behind her.
With that thought, he kept scrolling.
Then the next posts hit him like a punch to the face.
[Joanna received land as a class-change reward p>
[Her land expanded. She built a town p>
[I check her asset. Joanna founded a group with three subsidiary companies beneath it p>
[Joanna’s town has been upgraded to a city p>
[I’m a senior. Can someone tell me how Joanna’s company treats the employee? I’m considering interning there, maybe as an education minister or something p>
Trystan’s jaw dropped.

He hadn’t looked at these posts before. He avoided them on purpose. Seeing too much would
hurt.
Now, he felt his resolve crack.
It was like being in an academy, where everyone was still a student. One day, you suddenly found one of your classmates had already started a company, taken it public, and was worth hundreds of millions.
Trystan felt like his life had been a waste.
If he knew Joanna had killed an evil god, his mindset would have shattered completely.
But a student killing an evil god was too shocking.
To protect Joanna, the Space Alliance had sealed the information.
Joanna herself never promoted it.
At this moment, she was in Blackveil Town, inside a luxury penthouse in the city center.
This
type of home was also called a sky villa. Each floor covered about 2,800 square feet. Three floors were connected into one full villa
space.
She lived in the best unit of them all-the best building in the best location. Tower Eight, floors 28 to 31, with a private rooftop viewing deck. The unit came with an internal teleport portal. With a teleport scroll, she could return home at any time.
Everyone living in the complex was a Level 60+ professional. Her downstairs neighbor was Cassian. Below him lived Lorena.
The prices here were insane, and more high-level professionals were asking about it every day.
Why? After the death of Vivastars, the Space Alliance synced the newly unlocked dungeons to Blackveil Town for free. Joanna then charged other professionals an entry fee.
She used that income to buy teleport portals for more dungeons.
Those portals also charged tickets, though they took longer to pay back the cost.
Still, the framework of Dungeon Plaza was complete.
At present, Blackveil City’s Dungeon Plaza had 100 Level 10 dungeons, 100 Level 20 dungeons, 300 Level 30 dungeons, 200 Level 40 dungeons, 200 Level 50 dungeons, and 100 Level 60 dungeons.

There were no Level 70 dungeons. Those were high-difficulty zones meant for elite professionals. They would never be opened to a city lord who hadn’t reached that tier yet.
Even so, with thousands of dungeons total, this was already a mid-sized Dungeon Plaza.
There was no doubt about it. Joanna had fully brought Blackveil City to life.
More and more professionals moved in. Property prices soared. A central sky villa in what used to be a town now sold for several trillion Starcoins. That was the price of an Epic-tier piece of
gear.
Even Joanna felt the sting when she saw those numbers.
But the high-level professionals weren’t just buying a home.
Buying property here was a sign of loyalty. They wanted Joanna to notice them-so that one day, they could join the Nightstar Group.
Yet none of them had even seen Joanna in person p>
Inside the sky villa, Nighthowl, Alwyn, and Troy sat quietly, eyes closed, cultivating.
They had wandered through Vivastar for a long time. Each of them had absorbed massive amounts of energy.
Their strength had grown terrifying.
Alwyn was the first to open
his eyes.
“Your contracted beast, Alwyn Sharp, went through life-and-death danger with you. You receive a gift from your bonded companion: Vitality +5000, Strength +3000, Agility +3000, Spirit +4000 p>
“Totally worth it,” Joanna said softly. “Thank you, Alwyn. I accept your gift p>
She hugged him.
This upgrade had cost over 90,000 credits. Yet compared to the last time-when she spent 50,000 credits to exchange for an entire star and galaxy-the return was nearly ten times. greater.
