After the Gamekeeper said that, he made an elegant bow and disappeared.

Luo Yan didn't care much about what the Gamekeeper said. He was still about the possibility that the Gamekeeper was modeled after Shen Ji Yun. Which was not really impossible. After all, his uncle was the one who created Arcadia. He couldn't suppress his curiosity any longer and asked, ”Was the Gamekeeper modeled after you?”

Shen Ji Yun was slightly surprised after hearing such a question. He thought that Luo Yan would talk to him about the hidden task that they just triggered. Who would have thought that he would instead ask this question?

”It's just that, Brother Ji Yun look a bit like him,” Luo Yan continued.

When he first saw the Gamekeeper, there was this nagging feeling inside his head telling him that he looked familiar. He just didn't think too much because the other was just an NPC. And during that time, he was still not familiar with Shen Ji Yun. They only met once, during the graduation of his older brother. The only thing he remembered was the guy's blue eyes. And because the Gamekeeper rarely appeared, even after he and Shen Ji Yun got close, this problem never crossed his mind again. That was until today.

He looked at Shen Ji Yun and added, ”So, were you?”

Shen Ji Yun gazed down at Luo Yan. Of course, he noticed the glint of curiosity in those pair of blue eyes. Truthfully, he didn't really want to answer this question. Because it's embarrassing. But he knew if he didn't, Luo Yan would just be more curious. Maybe the other would just ask Bai Ze about it. That would be much more embarrassing.

He sighed helplessly and answered, ”Yes.”

The reason behind it was because his uncle missed the period when Shen Ji Yun was still a little milk ball. He was 10 when his Uncle started planning the VR version of the game. His cold temperament had already seeped through his bones then. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't make much expression. Mainly because there was barely anything that could move him. Whether it's sadness, anger, or happiness, he was all numbed to it. He could barely consider himself as a normal child.

His uncle probably felt sad seeing him slowly lose his emotion. So, he designed the Gamekeeper with a subconscious wish that Shen Ji Yun could also return to his former cheerful self. Unexpectedly, 10 years had already passed and nothing much had changed since then. His life was still nothing but gray with the occasional flicker of color.

No. Something did change. He glanced at Luo Yan. He fell in love with this person. Bringing bright and magnificent colors back to his life.

”Your uncle must really love you,” Luo Yan commented with a smile.
