Chapter 17 Aim Higher
Compared to this, the mush from the cafeteria earlier felt more familiar.

Fans who liked watching pet mukbangs, pretty girls eating, or just enjoying the aroma flooded Joanna’s livestream. The viewer count spiked fast-over 8,000 watching at once.
The portion was huge, so Joanna ate slowly, taking a full half hour to finish.
She waved at the camera.
“Bye, everyone. That’s it for today. See you next time.”
She ended the stream.
“Today’s livestream earnings: 621 Starcoins.”
It was actually double her usual take.
Back then, even a little extra money would’ve made her happy.
But before, it was hard to sit down and livestream properly while interacting with fans. Most of the time, she could only stream the cooking process itself, and the waiting part wasn’t something fans liked watching.
If she tried streaming alone, her teammates would complain that she was slacking.
Now, she had her own life and rhythm.
After eating, she instinctively stood up to wash the dishes. Then, she laughed at herself and gave a voice
command instead.
“Clean the room. Focus on the dishes.”
The hidden household robot in the room started shifting and humming as its rollers moved across the floor.
It would handle everything.
Joanna instantly felt lighter and more relaxed.
Next, she started reviewing her post-battle gains.
Today, she’d gotten two boons from Nighthowl, hit Level 10, and earned five free attribute points.
This time, she didn’t hesitate and put all five points into spirit.
“Base Attributes: Vitality 53, Agility 69, Strength 74, Spirit 112.”
Finally, one stat had passed 100!
Joanna was thrilled. An attribute over 100 meant elite-tier among high school students.
Her four former teammates each already had one stat above 100. They only cared about building their class

advantages rather than teamwork. With an extra ten-plus free attribute points, breaking 100 was easy for
them.
She’d been a complete mess.
Now, her strength had increased by more than three times.
Her previous goal had been just getting into a university in Violetlight City on Chromatic Star.
Now, she was naturally wondering if she could aim even higher.
She wanted to aim for the capital, Redlight City, and get into Twilight University.
“If I keep improving nonstop for a month…”
Alliance Academy only accepted the top of the top. Even the lowest-ranked students there had S-rank
talent.
Admission required at least one main attribute over 1,000.
Every time she soothed Nighthowl, she could trade 10 affinity points for attribute gains. Doing that twice a day might push her spirit over 1,000 in 15 days.
That meant defeating at least 2,000 monsters a day.
But she didn’t know if that kind of soothing would keep giving returns forever.
People tended to value help at first, then take it for granted.
Would summoned beasts be the same? She didn’t know.
Joanna pulled her thoughts back.
Things were already great. Even without more attribute points, she was stronger than ever.
“I used to rely on student status for free dungeon entries. Now I can pay for tickets and refresh the dungeons myself.
“Things are only going to get better.
“It was all because I didn’t have the strength back then.”
Even if she’d had money before, a summoner without a beast couldn’t clear dungeons.
A Transcendent beast was simply too overpowered.
After tallying everything, Joanna had Nighthowl take out all her loot and listed it on her portable trading exchange.
Total income: 750,000 Starcoins.
“Awesome! We’ve got cash!”
Joanna hugged Nighthowl and stroked his fur. The fluffy texture felt amazing.
