Chapter 42 Under Two Hours
“Enter p>
Joanna brought the entire team into the dungeon.
The moment they entered, Nighthowl launched his attack. Instantly, every spider outside the buildings was killed.
It was lightning fast.
The train doors opened.
Outside was nothing but spider corpses. Visibly, these bodies were being “refreshed,” gradually fading, becoming transparent, then vanishing entirely.
The newcomers let out gasps of amazement.
“Whoa! The XP is flying p>
“Joanna really lives up to her S-rank talent. She’s insane p>
“So this is what a mythic beast can do? Talk about a glow-up. Never underestimate the underdog p>
“Lucas and the others must be kicking themselves right now p>
“I watched before I failed my exam. Their dungeon progress was terrible. Think they’ll actually flunk p>
“Right now, Joanna is without a doubt, the number one at Trinity High p>
Joanna paid no attention to the flattery.
Just one day ago, these same people weren’t saying any of this.
Of course, the ones trash-talking her and the ones praising her might not be the same people.
But none of these outside voices could slow her progress anymore.
“Keep up. We’re heading to the waiting area. There are still over 6,000 spiders left p>
The other nine didn’t hesitate and followed closely.
This time, the clearing went even faster than before.

Chapter 42 Under Two Hours
They steamrolled through everything until they finally exited the train station and arrived at the base of the skyscrapers.
Nighthowl began attacking the boss.
In just a few minutes, Spider Lady’s HP was completely drained, and she fell from her web.
“You have killed Venom Spider Lady p>
“You have obtained Venom Spider Lady’s Gown Underskirt (Silver-tier p>
“Venom Spider Lady’s Gown Underskirt (Silver-tier p>
Defense +480
Vitality +30, Agility +90, Spirit +100
Special Effects: Spider Silk Protection, Silken Grace, Summon Enhancement.
Note: Female only.
Some special effects overlapped, but duplicates would be enhanced by one tier.
A Level 2 effect was naturally much stronger than Level 1.
Of course, different pieces had different effects.
So even among set pieces, certain slots were extremely expensive.
Joanna hadn’t expected to be this lucky. Her very first boss kill dropped a set piece.
This time, she had no intention of selling it.
She equipped it herself.
Instantly, beneath her slit gown, Joanna gained an extravagant tiered skirt with a dramatic petticoat.
The most amazing part was that as Joanna moved, the skirt didn’t hinder her at all. Instead, it flowed elegantly. That was the Silken Grace special effect.
Many pieces of equipment these days had attributes like this. They didn’t seem to boost combat power directly, yet they made perfect sense.
Joanna didn’t linger on the skirt for long before she saw a new notification.
“You have cleared the dungeon. Clear Time: 1 hour, 38 minutes, 23 seconds p>
214
“Would you
“Save p>
like to save this record? The current clearing party is: Shattered Dawn p>
Good. Her fourth dungeon record was now saved.
Still, this dungeon could be farmed many more times. Not just for XP to boost Nighthowl’s strength, but also for affinity points to comfort him.
Even though in her eyes, Nighthowl had already transformed into human form, spending affinity points still gave her something back every time.
He really was the most considerate contracted beast ever.
“Alright, dungeon cleared. You guys stay and scavenge. I’ll burn the spider silk for you and leave the train behind p>
Without the train, they would only need to walk about six miles anyway. For players, that just meant spending a bit more time.
“Thanks, Joanna! Oh, by the way, I sent you some good stuff. Check it out when you’re resting p>
Grace winked at her.
Joanna was curious. She opened her friends list and found that Grace had sent over some text files.
Instantly, her eyes went wide.
“My Domineering Divine Pet Fell for Me-Exclusively Pampered for Eternity p>
“My Shameless Days with My Human-Form Beast p>
“I’m a Summoner, So Summoning a Billion Husbands Is Totally Reasonable, Right p>
What the…
Joanna suddenly understood everything.
No wonder Grace had seemed overly enthusiastic. And she kept sneaking glances at her with that secretive smile. Joanna had half-suspected Grace might be into girls.
After all, with her high affinity points, it was normal to attract admirers, including the occasional obsessive one.
Turns out Grace wasn’t crushing on her. She was shipping her as a real-life couple.

Ahem! Tonight before bed, she would definitely have to… critically examine these books.
Joanna casually closed her friends list and headed to the gas station, grabbing two cans of gasoline.
Gasoline was a common item in survival and road-type dungeons. One gallon cost about 100 Starcoins. One can held roughly eight gallons, so two cans came to around 1,600 Starcoins-
easy money.
Joanna had Nighthowl pull out some scrap cloth they had collected in storage, bundle it into a torch, douse it with gasoline, and light it up.
Waving the torch, she cleared the spider webs from the railway tracks.
