Chapter 142 Cocky
Durability: 1,000 points.
(Note: After long battles, remember to repair it, or your outfit might break apart.)
Even fashion items with no stats were priced at 50,000 Starcoins.
When she was short on money, she would never waste cash on something like this.
The companies that made these outfits were extremely good at squeezing money out of players. Many professionals loved collecting them, hyping things like “limited editions” and “unique designs,” and even attacking each other over similar styles.
People who bought these outfits also loved comparing themselves with others.
For Joanna, however, cosmetic outfits were just a way to cover the look of her real gear. It was also a way to hide her true strength.
But the headpiece of the Scourge of Judgment was shaped like a crown, not a hat, and it had no special effects to hide her face.
After searching for a bit, Joanna bought a veil.
The Husher’s Veil (Gold-tier):
Spirit: +500
Special Effects: Conceals appearance, blocks inspection, prevents critical hits.
(Note: The veil sticks to the face as if welded on. No force can blow it away, and it also protects the face from damage.)
The veil was pure white, and once she put it on, it matched her elegant white dress perfectly.
“Queen, you’re really beautiful,” Lucien said. “You just need a pearl necklace, your hair tied up, a large-carat diamond ring, and some shiny earrings.”
After imagining it, Joanna actually felt like her neck looked bare.
But she quickly shook her head and decided not to buy them.
She was still in the rising stage of her career, so she couldn’t spend money on luxury items like that. Things weren’t the same as before.
She absolutely couldn’t get addicted to buying outfits, or her Starcoins would disappear quickly.

Joanna had to protect her Starcoins.
“No need for all that. This is fine,” she said. “Keep it simple. The goal right now is to earn credits. Money should be spent in the right places.”
Earning an extra 50 billion Starcoins from the SAT was something she never expected, but if she wanted to make money like that again, her only idea was selling guides.
Of course, if she had enough credits but not enough cash, Joanna would even take out a loan to upgrade her talents first.
After that, Joanna started buying gear for the others.
She bought Nighthowl a mage-type set called the Light of Long Range Set, though his weapon remained a lance. In fact, Nighthowl hadn’t done any close combat at all so far.
Then she bought Alwyn a tank set called the Granite Shield Set, which included a massive shield and a one-handed sword.
After asking for Lucien’s opinion, she bought the Spellblade Origin Set along with a wind- element magic sword.
All of this cost a total of 500 million Starcoins.
As for their Silver Tier gear, she sold it all, but only got back 80 million Starcoins.
Just then, Joanna’s communicator rang.
It was Katherine calling.
“Joanna, go take a look at this post.”
Joanna was still wondering what kind of post it was when Katherine started ranting angrily.
“These people are so bored. They’re actually betting on who can win you over first, and they even bet credits. That’s so disrespectful. Their strength isn’t even that great. They don’t deserve you at all. Remember the people who commented in that post. Don’t let them trick you.”
Only then did Joanna open the post and read it from start to finish. She was so angry that she laughed instead.
These people were openly discussing her in the post, without caring at all how she, the involved, might feel if she saw it.

They were probably very confident that with their charm and money, they could make Joanna believe they loved her.
2/3
After all, being liked by them was already a dream for many girls.
But to Joanna, it was nothing but trouble.
Still, after a quick change of thought, she realized this situation could be used.
