The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out (Joanna) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Strangers on a Train

Of course, while the loot were gone, smaller ones still remained.

The train station was huge. You could scavenge from the mall and convenience stores inside.

Right now, a single corn dog from the train station could sell for 500 Starcoins on the portable trading exchange.

But one dungeon run would only drop five or six at most. There was no way to get more than that.

Joanna shook her head. She only had 500,000 total in her pocket. She couldn’t afford the full carry price.

She just didn’t look

poor.

When Marcus saw someone trying to poach his customer, he immediately spoke up. “Hey, don’t listen to him. His team takes forever on the final boss. Not worth it. Besides, the gear doesn’t even go to you. With our mob-clearing efficiency, you’ll level up faster and be able to run higher-level dungeons sooner.”

Having one person pay 500,000 was a lot to ask. Soon, Marcus’s party was full.

Besides Marcus, five other players had joined. One of them was only Level 9, clearly hoping to farm hard in the final month before the SAT.

Joanna didn’t know any of them, but surprisingly, all these students recognized her.

“Joanna! I go to Sevenfold High. What a coincidence that we ended up in the same party! Your summoned beast is so handsome. Can I add you as a friend?”

A girl with sparkling eyes asked with genuine enthusiasm.

Joanna naturally agreed.

“Sure!”

She didn’t have some ice queen persona to maintain. The system’s friend list had no limit anyway, so adding someone was no big deal.

“Can we add you too?”

A few guys asked hopefully.

“Go ahead!”

1/4

Joanna nodded and ended up adding all of them. The group consisted of one girl and three guys. The girl was named Grace Vasquez, and the three guys were Derek Conaught, Victor Harte, and Shane Burke.

list.

Watching them exchange friend requests, Marcus sighed. “Must be nice to be young. At my age, I don’t add friends casually anymore. After all, when a friend dies, their name fades on your Six months later, it disappears completely.”

That was kind of a mood killer.

Joanna didn’t respond to that. “Let’s get started.”

She paid Marcus 100,000 Starcoins.

The other four did the same.

As party leader, Marcus selected the dungeon and brought everyone in together.

Joanna saw the notification.

“You have entered The Fall of Grand Central Station.”

Her vision went dark, and the space around her warped. When it cleared, Joanna found herself sitting inside a train car.

The train was slowing down, and within half a minute, it came to a complete stop.

The other players were all around her.

Not only that, but there were also quite a few NPC humans nearby.

“Wait, what is that?”

“Ahhh! Monsters! There are monsters outside!”

“Spiders! They’re spiders!”

Amid the screaming, something heavy landed on the roof with a clang.

Then a bristly spider leg pierced through the top of the metal car, sparks flying as it tore open the ceiling above them.

Through the gap, eight clustered eyes stared down at the group inside the train.

Like a cat peering through a mouse hole at the mice within.

And Joanna’s group was seeing things from the prey’s perspective, looking up at that terrifying

creature.

Nighthowl reacted first. His lance traced a rainbow arc through the air.

The silver gleam of the spear tore the spider apart.

The spider immediately flipped over and tumbled away from the opening.

By then, Marcus’s teammate, an archer, had only just raised his bow. Nighthowl had already one-shot the mob.

Keep in mind, this was a Hard Mode dungeon mob. Even though it was a Level 10 dungeon, the monsters were Level 15. Every single one was an elite. If their team had to fight one, it would take about two minutes per kill.

“That attack power is insane!” the archer exclaimed.

“Quick, move to another car. This roof is breached.”

Marcus led everyone toward another car.
