Chapter 72 What They Lost

“So, everyone, keep working hard!”

“Okay.”

The team nodded weakly. Their voices sounded drained and tired.

Rhoda forced herself to stay alert. Something felt off, and she couldn’t help asking, “Did our team ever rent a spatial storage before? Did we ever save up resources?”

After joining the team, Rhoda noticed something strange. Everyone praised spatial storage

nonstop.

But when it came to actually searching for supplies, they clearly lacked experience.

The group fell silent at this.

Lucas suddenly remembered something. A long time ago, Joanna had suggested renting a spatial storage and gathering resources.

He had refused.

“Our team should focus on getting stronger. There’s no need to waste time on small supplies. That time is better spent training.

“The school already gives us enough resources. Renting a spatial storage costs 100,000 Starcoins. That’s too expensive. Decision made. No more discussion.”

He had shut Joanna down.

Not just once. He had rejected many of her ideas.

And now, step by step, he was walking the same path she had suggested.

If Joanna hadn’t quit the team…

After she got her summoned beasts, she could have taken them into dungeons for free.

They were a team. Any loot she earned would have been shared.

She must have cleared Desolate Castle many times by now.

Neil suddenly spoke up. “To challenge Desolate Castle again, the entry ticket costs 100,000. Lucas, did you set aside extra supplies?”

He wanted to say, why argue over something tiny? But 100,000 Starcoins wasn’t pocket change

for them.

They couldn’t exactly pay to work.

Still, he didn’t want to admit he was bad at managing resources. He clenched his teeth and said, “Next time, we’ll save a bit. No need to be so stingy. We still have plenty of funds from the company.”

Worst case, they’d just eat fewer meals of natural food. Five meals less. That was fine, probably.

At five in the morning, the group dragged their exhausted bodies back to campus.

As they passed Villa One, they noticed something strange.

The lights on the first floor were on.

Joanna is back?

All five of them stopped and looked over.

The villa area didn’t have much privacy. The first floor was usually for utility rooms, staff rooms, and the kitchen.

Through the glass windows, they saw two handsome men with different-colored hair wearing aprons and preparing food-it wasn’t Joanna.

A rich aroma drifted out through the vents and straight into their noses.

“That smells amazing. What are they cooking?”

Rhoda sniffed hard.

Inside the kitchen, Nighthowl noticed them. Even their tiny sniffing movements didn’t escape his eyes.

He picked up a golden egg and cracked it into the pan. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the egg into the air. The egg, glowing with soft golden light, flipped neatly in midair.

Everyone outside froze.

As long as an item appeared in a professional’s view, the Space Alliance system would show its attributes.

Shining Golden Egg (Gold-tier): First time eaten: All attributes +50. Effects decrease with

repeated use.

What kind of egg gives 200 total attribute points in one bite?

Oh, Gold tier. Okay, that explains it.”

Wait. Gold-tier?!

How could she afford to eat something like that?

One bite like that had to cost about 5 million Starcoins.

They worked for a whole month just to afford one bite like that. On top of that, five of them would still have

to share it.

The worst part? Nighthowl took out another shining golden egg and cracked it into the pan. Then another.

H-he cracked three in a row!!!

Rhoda swallowed hard.

“Lucas, should we go to the cafeteria?”

Lucas clenched his teeth.

“I’m too tired. Let’s go back, eat some nutrition bars, and sleep.”
