Chapter 226 Twenty Minutes to Clear
Finished
Joanna posted, [Top student leading the team. Blackwood Abyss, Nightmare-tier speed run. Twenty minutes. Anyone coming?]
In an instant, Joanna was flooded with system notifications. Everyone wanted to join her team.
She quickly picked the four players with the fastest response speed and entered the dungeon.
After she left, the senior who was still calling for teammates froze.
“Wait—are you the top student of the first year? Clearing a dungeon in 20 minutes? No way. You can’t even finish running the map that fast. What class are you in? A forbidden-spell mage or something?” The training program only ran during the summer. Many seniors didn’t attention to lower-year students, so it was normal that he didn’t know Joanna.
He asked one of the juniors who just joined a team and saw pure regret on her face.

If I’d known, I wouldn’t have joined this team. I should’ve tried to get into Joanna’s. That’s a real topdog carrying me.
“She’s a Summoner,” she explained.
“A Summoner? A swarm-build Summoner? No wonder she didn’t even ask for other roles. She just took four tanks into the dungeon. That’s unfair. Now other teams don’t have any tanks left. Doesn’t Joanna know how to share?”
The junior shook her head. “No need to share. She could clear the dungeon with four idiots.”
Inside the dungeon.
In Blackwood Abyss, Joanna realized the four tanks she picked were all people she knew.
Ivan, Hank, Samson, and Urban.
It didn’t matter. They could all fight.
“We’re all doing this for homework,” Joanna said. “Go pull monsters. Group them up. It’s easier to kill.”
“Want to run a full train?” Ivan asked. “It’ll be faster.”
“Running a train” was a tank method. The tank ran ahead and pulled every monster along the way. Then the damage dealers wiped them out in one big attack.
Since all the monsters chased the tank, the tank looked like the front of a train, and the
1/3
monsters followed behind like train cars. That’s why it was called “running a train.”
Joanna nodded.
“Four of you. Four directions. Meet at the first boss.”
She marked the directions for them right away.
Ivan and the others trusted Joanna’s strength. No one argued. The four tanks rushed out like four engines, dragging waves of monsters behind them. They crossed paths at the first boss area. A huge crowd of enemies piled together, packed tight.
Stellar Tempest!
Joanna released the skill at the boss point. The blast wiped out the monsters in one hit.
The damage was so strong it blasted a natural lake into the forest floor.
They did the same thing again and again.
The dungeon had four bosses. The whole run took only 16 minutes.
For Joanna, a Nightmare-tier dungeon was no challenge at all.
“The dungeon is clear,” Joanna said. “Now we collect loot. Split up. Pick one area each. Everything else is mine.”
Ivan said, “I’ll just cut down one big tree. I need it for homework. My spatial backpack isn’t that big.”
“Same here.”
“Me too.”
The most valuable thing in Blackwood Abyss was timber. One giant tree could sell for 100,000 Starcoins. These trees were huge and thick.
The problem was their size. Without super-large spatial gear, no one could carry them.
But Joanna could.
Besides trees, the ground was also covered in rare herbs, all valuable.
But these herbs spawned at random. The forest was huge, and searching took time.
As players leveled up, the value of logistics roles became clearer. In pro teams, after clearing a dungeon, the leader would bring in a support crew to sweep the map and clean out every last
2/3
resource.
Twenty
But low-level dungeons weren’t worth that kind of work. There wasn’t enough loot to go around.
Joanna activated Celestial Gaze and used spatial power to lock onto the trees.
She cast Power Siphon (Dark Gold-tier) and swapped Wings of Wind (SSS) for Stellar Dominion (SSS).
Then she packed up every tree on the ground and took them all.
