Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 446 445- Zoe vs Siesta

"You cleared fifty floors in eight minutes?! That's insane. Please tell me you were joking!" Siesta exclaimed in shock and surprise.

"Make it ten minutes. I might have wasted a few seconds in between while passing through the portals and to select the secondary class."

"There is no way anyone would believe you, but I just saw you one-shot the boss of the 50th floor… and… I don't doubt you."

Zoe looked at Siesta's level and asked, "How did you manage to survive fifty floors of the dungeon?"

"As I said, I cleaned a few floors every day. And I took a lot of breaks. I set traps and mostly used ranged attacks on the monsters bigger and faster than me. And… I have unlimited money… so I bought the best gear possible.

Although most of the expensive gear is level locked… so I can't use them until I reach the required level. Still, I think I am a better newbie than others…. although only we are the newbies… the other players have already settled here.

But they did say that thousands of players longed in a few weeks ago in batches and turned this realm upside down. Apparently, they cleared all 100 floors of the dungeon in a single day.

Also, they were provided unlimited funds, so all of them were equipped well. They formed a guild as soon as they got a chance, and their guild ranking immediately entered the top 10.

It's crazy… right?"

"What's crazy?" Zoe asked with an unimpressed look on her face.

"How did they manage to do all that in such a short time…?"

Siesta was referring to the soldiers sent from the real world to empower their bodies through God's impact. Since all of them were trained soldiers, they knew sword fighting and the use of every weapon.

Unlike the other players with no real-world talent, the soldiers were thousands of times better than them. After forming the guild, they elected generals, commanders, and other required positions to run the guild.

They had everything in control. They were well prepared. They named their guild 'Call of Crusaders', and the guild leader was the Captain of their team. They had brought multiple tacticians, strategists, and advisors, with those who planned everything for them.

Zoe shrugged her shoulders to Siesta's question and said, "I don't see how that is amazing or crazy. Literally, anyone can do what they did. Stop getting surprised and amazed at everything you see… it's useless and a moronic thing to do."

"...do you ever say something… good from that arrogant mouth of yours?"

"If you don't like what I say, you can always get out of my sight. I will pay back the bill to you once I have made some money."

"I don't need it." Siesta let out a short sigh and muttered, "I still don't think you got any friends."

"What did you just say?" Zoe raised her brow. "Just so you know, I hate people like you the most."

"What do you mean by people like me? Do you mean rich, beautiful, and brilliant?"

"No, the one who talks bad about someone behind their back because they don't have the guts to say that on their face."

"I was talking to myself."

"But you were talking about me!"

"Well, since you heard it… I might as well say it out loud. I don't think you have any friends!"

"Huh. Maybe I should have let you die on that floor. I would have loved to see your skin and organs melting from the lava."

"..."

"..."

Zoe and Siesta glared at each other for minutes. Neither of them spoke a word, and it seemed as though they were about to kill each other. 

If it wasn't for the waiter who arrived at the right time with their food, they would have slit each other's throats.

Since the food had arrived, they stopped glaring and began to eat— although their eyes met once in a while.

'Was I too rude?' Zoe thought. 'I know she said mean things to me, but… she never said anything about me dying. I shouldn't have said that. Should I apologize to her?'

Zoe needed to clear her mouth, so she moved her hand to drink water before apologizing to Siesta, but Siesta ended up taking the glass before her and drank the water.

'Forget it! I am never apologizing to her!' Zoe's face twitched in anger.

Siesta drank a few sips and placed the glass back on the table. Then, she cleared her throat and looked into Zoe's eyes.

"What?" Zoe asked in an annoyed tone.

"I am sorry. And thank you once again for saving my life," she said in a calm voice.

"..." Zoe's anger vanished in thin air. She looked at her and thought, 'Why would she apologize to me? She didn't actually do anything that would warrant an apology. I am aware that I am mean… and that's precisely why I wanted to apologize to her.

Maybe… she is not a bad girl?'

"I am sorry too. And thanks for paying for my food."

"So… we are good now?" Siesta asked hesitantly.

"I guess…"

"Let's start over again, then." Siesta moved her hand forward to shake hands with Zoe

Zoe shook hands with her and said, "Nice to meet you. I am Zoe."

"I am Siesta. Nice to meet you."

'So that's how her name is pronounced…'

Zoe could read Siesta's name on her nametag, but she wasn't sure how to pronounce it, so she avoided calling her by name.

"Can we two form a party?" Siesta suddenly asked.

"Huh? Why?"

"Well… since we are the only ones who are new to this game? Everyone else has formed a party, and it's hard to get into a new circle without feeling awkward. And… I am a girl, so…"

"What would I get from joining your party? I am strong to survive on my own," Zoe shrugged. "I don't need you. A party can be formed where each party member can contribute something in mutual. What can you provide me if I join your party?"
