Early the next morning.
The faint ringing of an alarm clock drifted from Yu Zhu's room. It sounded a few times before abruptly stopping.
A few seconds later, a scream pierced the air from Yu Zhu's room.
"Looks like she already saw the qualification activation prompt."
In the dining room, Yu Zhun couldn't help but chuckle as he brought out breakfast. He called out toward Yu Zhu's room, "Come eat if you're awake!"
The screaming came to a screeching halt.
THUD THUD THUD—
Barefoot and sporting a messy bedhead, Yu Zhu dashed out of her room. Looking at Yu Zhun, who had already finished his chores, and the breakfast spread covering the dining table, she couldn't help but sniff the air.
A familiar aroma wafted over; it was Yu Zhun's fried eggs.
"You... you're already back?" Yu Zhu asked, dumbfounded. "Didn't you say it would take half a month to clear that Giant Demon Valley?"
