The Golden Family Members rode the elevator upstairs and watched Luo Wanya punch in the password.

As the door opened, they were greeted by a cozy, everyday setting—a large cake sat on the dining table with a letter that read: Welcome, family, to City Number Ten.

One of the Golden Family Members dipped a finger into the cake's cream: "This is animal cream! The Parents' Meeting must have gone to quite the expense!"

In the Inner World, however, even eating vegetable cream was a luxury, let alone animal cream.

Luo Wanya looked around the room, excitedly lifted a piece of cake, and exclaimed: "Thank you, Parents!"

The Golden Family Members grew excited: "Thank you, Parents!"
