Chapter 34: Chapter 33- Interesting Conversation
Aurora invited Zach to cohabitate with her for a free stay and free food. It was a golden offer for Zach, and Aurora was aware of it.
"Before I answer, I am amazed how you insulted me like it was a normal thing to do." Zach furrowed his brows at Aurora and uttered, "Sometimes, you are truly rude."
"But I just stated the fact. Am I wrong?" Aurora wondered with an innocent look on her face. "I didn't mean anything bad by it, and if you felt offended, then I apologize."
"Unfortunately, I can't stay at your place." Zach casually denied Aurora's golden offer.
"Why?!" Aurora exclaimed. "Is it because I said all those things?!"
"No." Zach shook his head and said, "I have already paid for the week in advance. So if I check out now, my money will be wasted."
"So, does that mean you will come after six days?!" Aurora asked with a curious and excited look on her face.
"I can't promise. Once I reach level 20, I am ascending to the first realm," Zach answered. He knitted his brows and uttered, "Wait a minute… what will happen to your house if you ascend to the higher realms?"
"According to the information provided, I will still own the house, and I can descend whenever I want. However, suppose that if I am in the first realm, I can't teleport directly to my house in this realm. I will need to descend to this realm, and then only I can enter my house."
"... why would you want to descend…?" Zach asked with a puzzled look on his face. "And you just wasted your money on the house."
"There is also an offer that I can buy houses in any realm,"
"Still, you wasted your money."
"Free of cost," she added.
"Let's talk about it in detail." Zach suddenly changed his way of talking.
"If I buy a similar type or same size house, then I can exchange for free of cost, but I will have to pay extra if I want a bigger one," she asserted.
"That's actually interesting."
"..!" Aurora recalled what Zach said a while ago and uttered, "Wait, you are going to ascend when you reach level 20?!"
"Yup."
"What about that physique requirement?"
"Everything is set. I can ascend now if I want, but I will wait until I reach level 20," Zach stated in a calm voice.
"Why 20?" Aurora wondered with a confused and curious look on her face.
"Think about it. The players who have already ascended must be stronger than me, so if I ascend now, I might be the weakest one." Zach wasn't considering his skills and Aria's blessing when he said that. He only considered his stats, which were higher than most of the players.
His physique was the biggest advantage for him, plus his unique cultivation and hidden class.
"What level are you at right now?" Aurora asked reluctantly.
"18. What about you?"
"I am also 18…" Aurora replied.
"I thought you would be higher."
"I could have been if a certain someone hadn't obliterated 75 wolf monarchs," Aurora remarked. "Thanks to me," she added.
Zach smirked and asked, "Are you salty about that?"
"Why? In fact, I am glad," Aurora answered honestly.
The smirk on Zach's face vanished, and he furrowed his brows. He moved his hand to Aurora's face and pinched her nose. "Stop that."
Aurora's nose had become red as a beet, but her face was redder because of the embarrassment.
"Well then…" Zach waved to Aurora and said, "See you tomorrow."
"Wait!" Aurora stopped Zach by pulling his clothes.
"What is it?"
"Show me your status menu," Aurora demanded.
"Why?"
"So you still don't trust me even after we survived a life and death situation?" Aurora muttered with a sad and disappointed look on her face.
Zach sighed and flicked his finger on Aurora's face. "This cute face won't work on me. And It's not as though I don't want to show you my stats. Even if I did, you wouldn't understand anything."
Aurora squinted her eyes and said with a confident look on her face: "Try me."
Zach opened his status menu and showed it to Aurora.
10 seconds Later.
"What the hell is this?!" Aurora exclaimed with a baffled expression on her face. Her cute face looked terrible.
"What happened to that 'try me'?" Zach commented with a grin on his face.

Zach's MP was currently Zero, so Aurora couldn't see the infinity sign.
"There are so many things I don't understand. And what are these titles?" Aurora asked with a surprised and curious look on her face. "What did you do to get such horrible titles?"
"Except the last one," she added.
"You don't need to know, or rather, I can't explain it to you even if I wanted to," Zach replied.
"I don't want to be annoying, so I won't ask any more questions." Aurora opened her status menu and showed it to Zach after saying, "Here. You can look at mine too."

Aurora's stats were incredible too. However, Zach was focused on her physique.
'It was 800 before. Now it's 820.' Zach pondered for a while and uttered, "I guess you can get physique points for training your body since that's what the name means."
After talking with Aurora for a while, Zach went straight to his inn room and slept like a slob for the entire night.
