Chapter 1047 NEW APP

1047 NEW APP

AFTER spending about half an hour in the coffee shop, chatting and finishing up the drinks and scones they ordered, both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun headed back to Brother Zhao's office.

Luo Yan didn't delve deeper into Brother Zhao and Mr. Yuan's relationship. What he heard from Shen Ji Yun was enough for him to understand what could have happened between the two.

If his guess was correct and they really were in a romantic relationship before, then it's safe to assume that the coffee shop was supposed to be given to Mr. Yuan. But just like what Shen Ji Yun said, something must have happened in the middle and so that plan fell through.

Considering that Mr. Yuan was now in S City, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two must have broken up. And that's why the other was now the manager and chef of a school restaurant from another city instead of the owner of that coffee shop.

Besides, the name of the shop was already kind of a big clue. 'Starry Brew'. Obviously, from the root word 'star', which was the English translation of 'Xing', the name of Mr. Yuan.

Thinking back to the name of 'Yuexing Pavilion', he couldn't help but think that Uncle Yi Mu and Brother Zhao had a strange kink of naming buildings based on their lovers' names. No, maybe it's not just buildings, remembering the 'Xingxing' that Brother Zhao called earlier, which was obviously some kind of AI system.

Luo Yan glanced at Shen Ji Yun, walking beside him. He wondered if the other also had that kind of hobby. Shen Ji Yun, seemingly feeling his gaze, turned to him.

"Is something wrong, Yan Yan?"

"No, I'm just admiring how handsome my boyfriend is," Luo Yan said with a grin.

As expected, Shen Ji Yun's ear tips turned red at the sudden compliment.

Although he didn't tell the other what he's really thinking, it's not like he's lying. Because Shen Ji Yun was indeed one handsome guy. He had a feeling that if he told Shen Ji Yun what he's wondering about, he would spend a future where his cinnamon roll would just name every program he would ever develop after him.

Yes, it's sweet and moving, but he would appreciate it more if people would think of Shen Ji Yun first and not him when they saw any programs the other might develop in the future.

Getting off the elevator to the eight floor, they headed straight to Zhao Cheng's office.

After knocking and hearing the other telling them to enter, they walked inside.

"It's done. You can check it now," Zhao Cheng said.

Hearing that, Luo Yan excitedly rushed towards the desk where his phone was. He picked it up and opened it. The first thing he noticed was the newly installed app. Its icon was just a simple A, probably representing 'Arcadia'. Just by that, it could be seen that it's still in the beta testing phase. The name under it was a simple 'Pet AI'.

He didn't really care much about that and just clicked it. After the loading screen disappeared, a chibi version of Elipse's humanoid form appeared on the screen. The kid was sitting under a cherry blossom tree, which was a common tree found in the kitsunes' village.

Luo Yan unconsciously tap on the boy and the other opened his eyes. He blinked a couple of times as if confused, and then he looked straight at where Luo Yan was, as if he could see him.

"Wow, Master, Eclipse can see your face floating in front of me," the boy said while standing up. "Why is Master there? No, why is Master's hair different? Did you cut your hair?"

Luo Yan's eyes widened at hearing Eclipse talk. It's like seeing Eclipse in real life, only he's inside his phone and not standing in front of him. The excitement he's feeling almost burst out.

"Eclipse, can you hear me?"

"Yes, Eclipse can."

"Are you in the village?"

Eclipse nodded. "Eclipse is visiting Aunt Yuki! But why is Master's hair like that?"

Luo Yan felt even more amazed. "I'll answer your questions later, okay? Master will just check something. I'll be back."

The chibi version of Eclipse pouted a bit, but still nodded. "Okay."

With that response, Luo Yan temporarily close the app. He then turned to Brother Zhao.

"Is the Eclipse in this app, connected to the Eclipse in Arcadia?" he asked.

When Eclipse said that he was in the kitsunes' village, he couldn't help but think that this was not just a 'setting'. The other was really there in real-time.

Zhao Cheng nodded. "Brother Mu and I thought that it's better to connect the program directly to Arcadia instead of making another version of a player's pet based on their current data in the game."

Luo Yan understood immediately why they chose that. Because if they did the latter, then it's like making another version of Eclipse instead of it just being Eclipse. Luo Yan naturally didn't like that. Because there's only one Eclipse. So, he very much approved of the direction they're taking this program.

"With that program, you could not only chat with your pet in reality, you can also assign small tasks to him," Zhao Cheng continued. "Like reminding you of an important date, updating you with the weather, notify you if there's a message or a call. Those were just some general things it could do. To know more, you have to explore it on your own."

"Wow. That's amazing," Luo Yan could only say. Because, really, what else could he say? Words wouldn't really suffice, just how amazed he was at this moment. "Thank you for making such a wonderful program." n(-0vεlbIn

"No need to thank me. It's something that has been in the works ever since we thought of adding the pet system to Arcadia," Zhao Cheng said. "Just send me a report every week on how the program had been working, so we could quickly check for bugs and other things."
