One sword.
The mountain, split in two.
Chen Yu stared in bewilderment at the scene before him.
"This... did I do this?"
He was stunned.
He had merely wanted to test the sword's power.
Although Chen Yu knew that an attack with tens of thousands of power would surely be impressive, he hadn't expected to cleave a mountain in half with a single strike.
Splitting mountains and breaking peaks.
This was something he could actually do?
"No wonder the Golden Realm expert was so terrified." Looking at the ruined mountain before him, Chen Yu couldn't help but recall Giles.
A mighty Golden Realm expert, who in Chen Yu's presence had been as docile as a well-behaved kitten.
Now, seeing this, he couldn't blame him.
Could he be any harder than this mountain before him?
The mountain, let alone.
If Chen Yu had swung the sword at his head, wouldn't it have turned him into a juicer, mashing his head into juice?
"Truly ruthless, worthy of me."
Gazing at the shattered mountain range, Chen Yu murmured in admiration.
[Pathetic.]
[Just destroying a small mountain, and you're already this proud. Back in my day, a mere flick of my finger could obliterate a city-state.]
[And that was without any external aid.]
[You're just relying on that five-colored sword now. Without a weapon, you alone...]
Messages from the little demon flooded his wristband.
It was so demeaning!
Chen Yu was in a good mood, but she had to pop out with her sarcastic tone and pour cold water on him.
"Why are you talking so much?" Chen Yu said, speechless. "I couldn't be bothered to stab at your heart, but you have to come running. Can't you just be quiet for a bit? Will you suffocate if you don't speak for a while? Look, even the Gluttony Soul is quiet."
[She's empty.]
[Wait until she recovers, and you'll see who talks more. She'll annoy you to death; she's the most naggy.]
〖?〗
〖What has it got to do with me?〗
[What, did I say something wrong?]
〖Heh~〗
[ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ Who are you mocking!!!]
More bickering.
Chen Yu watched the bickering pair on his wristband, and after a moment, he raised his eyebrows again.
"Gluttony Soul, you must have a physical body too, right? What's your name?"
〖Sona〗
Chen Yu: ヾ(ﾟдﾟ)ﾉ
"Who?"
〖Sona〗
The Gluttony Soul repeated.
Chen Yu stared at the message, a long silence ensuing before he let out a gasp.
"You're Sonna?!"
Chen Yu was very familiar with the name Sona.
A kind sister with a magnificent bosom, Chen Yu had even bought her figurine.
Of course—
Chen Yu had only gasped instinctively, purely surprised by the coincidence of names. He hadn't actually thought the Gluttony Soul was the Sona he knew.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Yu blurted it out, the little demon was even more shocked than him.
[How do you know?]
[How do you know she's Sonna? You know us both? You... Who exactly are you!!! (〝▼皿▼)]
"Huh?"
This time, Chen Yu was utterly confused.
He had just instinctively thought of a hero from a game. Judging by the little demon's message, it was as if Chen Yu had guessed correctly.
"I... what are you talking about?"
[How do you know us both? How do you know she's Sonna?]
"Ah?"
"She... she's really Sonna, the Kindred Serenade?"
[You do know us!!!]
Chen Yu: ...
No way.
This was getting a bit too strange.
Kindred Serenade?
My good friend, you've wandered onto the wrong set.
"I... I was just mentioning a hero," Chen Yu muttered. "How can she really be the Kindred Serenade? Don't talk nonsense here, it's making me very confused."
〖He doesn't know us. You're overthinking it~〗
[But...]
〖Shush~〗
Rarely did the little demon cease her argument. She said no more.
〖Don't overthink it. I am not the Sona you know. Both Barbara and I live in the underground world. Some things you might come to know later, but not now.〗
〖Don't try to pry into our past. It might not be a good thing for you.〗
〖We will do our best to assist you and make your survival in the underground world more convenient. And what you need to do is very simple.〗
"Do what?"
〖Live~〗
Seeing the message on his wristband, Chen Yu was slightly taken aback.
He hadn't expected—
The Gluttony Soul's expectations of him to be so low.
He had thought she might want him to become stronger, to develop better, and perhaps in the future, they would rely on his strength for revenge.
But she only wanted Chen Yu to live.
"Don't worry about that. I'll live well," Chen Yu said with a slight smile, parting his lips. He spread his hands and said, "I'm quite a person who cherishes my life."
〖Going to sleep~〗
"Good night."
Waving gently towards his wristband, Chen Yu lowered his arm and stretched lazily.
Recently, the Gluttony Soul's condition seemed to be very weak. He rarely saw her, especially after the Undead Dungeon. He had only seen her a handful of times.
"Not prying into the past?"
Chen Yu whispered, shaking his head with a smile.
He wasn't someone who liked to create unnecessary worries for himself. One should consider what is relevant to their current stage.
Never try to understand or consider matters beyond your capabilities.
It would yield no benefit.
Perhaps it might even affect your present self.
Chen Yu knew clearly what he needed to do now.
Become stronger!
So, what was the simplest way to become stronger?
The answer was simple.
Eat!
After a quick wash, Chen Yu took out some exquisite cheese from his bracelet and began to feast.
Exquisite cheese provided defense.
Chen Yu already had the five-colored sword for offense. With this mountain-splitting divine sword in hand, as long as he made his defense impregnable, he could stand proudly in the world.
[Underground Reminder: Defense +3]
[Underground Reminder: Defense +6]
[Underground Reminder: Defense +1]
...
"Hic!"
Holding the cheese, Chen Yu couldn't stop hiccuping.
It was too difficult!
Trying to get fat in one bite seemed a bit too hasty.
He still had to proceed step by step.
"Boss!"
In the distance, several female mercenaries walked ahead. Hei Dou was held in the arms of one of them and waved non-stop at Chen Yu.
When he saw Chen Yu eating cheese.
Whoosh!
Afterimages flashed.
From a distance of over ten meters, Hei Dou instantly leaped up, snatched a piece of cheese from Chen Yu's hand, and took a big bite.
"Boss, you're eating alone! We haven't even had breakfast yet!"
"Then eat. Aren't I letting you eat?" Chen Yu glanced at him impatiently, but his gaze fell on the two female mercenaries ahead, to the right.
"How are they?"
Noticing Chen Yu's expression, Hei Dou grinned slyly.
"These two mercenaries are what I prepared for you, boss. I've inquired about them. According to our human race's age calculation, they are only 18 years old and have never had boyfriends, hee hee... you know~~~"
Hei Dou's face was filled with ambiguous teasing, and Chen Yu grinned in response.
Eighteen years old, no boyfriend.
This...
This was too perfect!
"You two, come here~"
Chen Yu beckoned to the two mercenaries with a smile.
It was clear they were very shy. When Chen Yu called them, they instinctively glanced at their older sisters beside them, then lowered their heads, biting their lips, and walked towards Chen Yu.
"Big... Big King..."
"Hey, what are you saying? What Big King? Call me Big Brother!" Hei Dou glared.
Such an ambiguous address.
Made the two innocent girls blush, their lips quivering as their faces seemed to turn so red they could drip water. However, Chen Yu waved his hand at this moment.
"Stop calling me Big Brother. Don't you see the younger sisters are shy?"
"Boss~" Hei Dou blinked and asked, "When did you become so proper?"
"If you must call, just call me Daddy, what do you say?"

Good afternoon, have you eaten?
