Chapter 347 The Harvest of Peace
Finished
This tree was formed purely from energy. As a Diamond-tier item, once fully matured, it would far surpass the transplanted mother tree.
If anyone else were cultivating it, they would need multiple wood-element professionals constantly channeling growth energy-or an enormous amount of soil vitality to sustain it.
But Alwyn’s Verdant Bloom already provided everything it required.
Under his activation, the sapling surged upward at terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, it had grown taller than the original mother tree.
Not only that, thick roots burst through the surface. New saplings began sprouting around it.
All of those could be transplanted.
Alwyn worked tirelessly, relocating each new sapling. Soon, an entire region of the Blackveil Mountains became territory of the Peace Trees.
Peace Rice fell in endless cascades, piling into small white hills.
Three days later-
A full quarter of the mountain range was covered in Peace Trees.
Divine and Demonic Academy p>
Inside Ned’s laboratory.
Sophie staggered out of the dungeon, covered in dust and exhaustion.
After three full days of combat, she had finally cleared it.
“Hell-tier difficulty being high is normal. I just wonder what Joanna’s score was p>
She looked down at her own result. Rank: B.
She had focused on healing the Peace Tree and the humans beneath it, but in the end, she only managed to save 100 survivors.
The rest had either starved to death or been killed by the collateral damage of her battles with the zombies.
1/4
To achieve even this much had required every ounce of her strength.
“If the next evaluation tests raw healing output in a public dungeon, I’ll definitely crush Joanna. I’m just not suited for solo dungeon clears p>
All her previous dungeon runs had been with level 50 or 60 professionals. She specialized in cross-tier healing-supporting far stronger fighters. That was why she had always believed her healing was exceptional.
And it was.
But exceptional healing did not equal strong, independent combat ability.
Other professionals had never pointed this out to her. Why would they? The weaker her solo capability, the more she depended on them.
“Beep beep beep p>
A nearby robot emitted a sharp tone.
“Target detected. Initiating notification protocol p>
Soon, researchers reentered the lab.
“Sophie, testing has concluded. You may
leave p>
Several researchers began dismantling the teleportation gate.
This lab was usually for public use; a single test dungeon had occupied it for three days, delaying their actual research progress.
“Over? Are the results out? What was Joanna’s score p>
“Ah, sorry, Sohpie, we don’t know Joanna’s score. Were you competing with her? This project was managed by Mr. Hubert p>
“Mr. Hubert? Wasn’t it Mr. Skeldon p>
“I didn’t make myself clear. I mean the previous director-it was indeed handled by researcher Nemanja Hubert. However, he has been taken away for investigation due to project fund misappropriation and falsified research results p>
As he spoke, his communicator buzzed.
He glanced at it and nodded faintly,
“Ned has been sentenced to fifteen years. Compensation: 527.6 billion Starcoins. He will serve

Chap
on Northuria Planet. Apologies, Sophie. I have matters to attend to p>
They removed the portal and left.
A chill swept through Sophie’s body. It felt as though she herself had been sentenced to Northuria.
She immediately opened her communicator to contact the Principal, only to receive an automated reply.
“I have departed for the Divine Battlefield. Your message has been recorded and will be answered later p>
The principal had left!

Suddenly, Sophie thought of something and frantically opened her player interface to check her team status.
“Your captain, Marlon, has initiated a vote to remove you from the Decennial Team.
“Members Samantha, Haul, Anya, and Dax have agreed.
“You have been expelled from the team p>
She had been kicked out.
At that very moment, her communicator buzzed again.
She looked at the messages.
Her breathing grew shallow.
Don said, “Sophie, you’ve disappointed me. Forget it. You don’t need to handle that matter anymore. Come back. By the way, there’s a banquet tonight. Dress up nicely and host one of my friends; he’s very interested in you, our ‘rising star p>
Another message came in. “Why aren’t you back yet? Don’t keep my friend waiting.
“Look over this list and start contacting them one by one. For the next hundred years, don’t let your womb idle, okay p>
“No… No p>
Decennial Team training chamber,
Joanna and the others stepped out of an Abyss-tier dungeon,
3/4
Every face bore relaxed satisfaction.
The dungeon hadn’t troubled them. The additional attribute rewards had boosted their strength once again.
Joanna’s communicator began to chirp with high-frequency alerts.
It was a dense stream of notifications.
Her contact list consisted only of close friends, teachers, and classmates; it only became noisy when something significant happened.
Of course, it probably wasn’t world-ending; otherwise, they would have used the system’s Private Chat to reach her directly.
