Chapter 345 The Butterfly Of The Team

What had transpired within the dungeon was already crystal clear to the outside world,

So, by the two–hour mark–when Joanna had led the survivors toward the Peace Tree–Saul already knew there was no need to continue watching.

Joanna was a one–woman army.

Sophie was painfully average.

There was simply no comparison.

Joanna glanced at the projection and saw Sophie assisting the Peace Tree in clearing zombies. Given the scale of an entire city’s undead population, the battle would last at least three days and nights. D

It was indeed a test of a healer’s absolute output limit.

But soon, Joanna frowned in mild confusion.

“Why didn’t that NPC die?” she asked, curiosity flickering in her eyes.

Ned chuckled. “Joanna, that NPC was originally meant to be the dungeon’s greatest assist. As long as someone has a resurrection spell, they can be revived.”

Joanna had a sudden realization.

It was a classic blind spot.

It hadn’t even occurred to her to resurrect that NPC.

“So that’s why I didn’t get an SSS rank? I had to protect all 1,000 NPCs and make sure none stayed dead to earn the perfect score.”

However, SSS wasn’t the only way to obtain unique drops. Certain special conditions could also trigger them–like forcing the Peace Tree into maturity using Verdant Bloom.

As a result, she had looted the Peace Tree Sapling.

With that thought, Joanna searched the strategy group database for guides on this dungeon. Sure enough, others had written about it.

However, Joanna decided to write a new guide herself, if only to earn some credits.

Anything she discovered or conquered personally shouldn’t be wasted on others.

Summary: Looted the Peace Tree Sapling. That’s it.

After finishing the guide, Sophie still hadn’t cleared the dungeon. Joanna had no intention of waiting.

She noticed a change in the Decennial Team

Sophie’s name had vanished.

George.

George McDaniel.

Joanna returned to the training grounds.

George was already participating in drills.

“Samantha, did I execute that move correctly?

“Marlon is absolutely right.

“Haul, you’ll have to protect me later–I’m just a mage who needs a little love and care.”

Compared to Dax, who only knew how to flex his muscles, and Anya, whose presence bordered on nonexistent, George was like a butterfly dancing through flowers.

He treated everyone warmly, spoke with wit, and maintained a gentle demeanor. He was getting along splendidly with the entire team.

At this rate, Anya’s position as a main combatant might actually be threatened.

As Joanna approached, George immediately greeted her.

“Joanna, you’re back! It’s rare to see you take this long in a dungeon, Back when you used to carry me, it was a dungeon every few minutes. I’d stumble out of teleport portals dizzy, barely keeping up with the pace.”

Joanna was long accustomed to his flattery. It didn’t faze her in the slightest.

“I haven’t run many dungeons like that. Lacked experience. I’ll practice them more in the future.”

From a credit–earning and Space Alliance contribution standpoint, combat–type dungeons maximized her gains.

But that also created a weakness in versatility.

She intended to broaden that gap.

“Joanna, you’re truly well–rounded. By the way, have you prepared your ship yet? Should I purchase one for you?”

Joanna arched a brow.

“What ship?”

“The one for the Decennial Tournament of Prodigies, of course. The Divine and Demonic Academy provides transport, sure–but what if a fight breaks out mid–journey? If you’re stranded in the void or a temporal turbulence without a ship, that’s basically a death sentence.”

Joanna genuinely hadn’t known. The Decennial Tournament of Prodigies was still two months away

She had only focused on how to fight not how to get there or what dangers lurked en route.

More importantly, such information was restricted.

Even if she wanted to search for it, she lacked the channels. In contrast, heirs like George had their own networks.

Her foundation was still shallow

Thanks to his reminder, she understood. Most prodigies didn’t possess abilities like Astral Step to cross star systems. Drifting in space or temporal rifts was deadly.

A small high–tech vessel–akin to a luxury mobile base was essential.

Some ships could sustain life for a century, provided sufficient energy reserves.

Joanna grasped the gravity of it.

A strategic asset like that was not something she would accept as a gift.

“I’ll prepare one myself,” she declined calmly.

George lowered his voice. “Joanna, please let me handle it. Otherwise, my conscience won’t be at peace. I heard you even removed. Sophie from the team to make room for me.”

Joanna was stunned to hear that.

“You’re overthinking it. I competed with her simply because I don’t want a healer with the wrong attitude on my team. The Decennial Tournament of Prodigies is a matter of life and death. And my glory will never be shared with those who don’t earn it.”

She didn’t dare claim she would dominate the Decennial Tournament of Prodigies. But breaking into the top 10,000? That much, she was absolutely confident in.
