Lu Chenhui secretly had the technicians embed his brother's consciousness into the game, falsely claiming it was confidential data that couldn't be compromised. This turned Lu Yan into the game's mightiest boss, the Flame Dragon.

That's why when the original host stole the game's secrets, being labeled as a spy for the rival Cangli Group, Lu Chenhui was so furious, insisting on imprisoning the original host.

Though engrossed in his daily hustle, Lu Chenhui always carves out a moment to log into "Journey". He knows that within this game, his younger brother lies dormant.

Once the Dragon Clan sector is fully developed, Lu Yan will be awakened as the Flame Dragon. However, the awakened Lu Yan will have become a character in the game, perhaps devoid of his former memories, and it will require specific conditions to stir his deeply buried consciousness.

Yet, knowing that a fragment of his brother's consciousness still lingers brings Lu Chenhui a semblance of solace.

After taking in the entire storyline, Ying Zhao ruefully stroked his chin. It turned out that the despicable protagonist was his very own elder brother. He had initially thought of tormenting him a bit, but now it seems it's better to spare him for now.

But rather than tormenting Lu Chenhui, the CEO, Ying Zhao is more keen on unmasking the executive assistant who had framed the original protagonist for this mess.

That guy is a genuine undercover spy. Ying Zhao has no intention of letting him get off scot-free. Moreover, with the female lead and someone named Wang Ziqi around to keep him entertained, Lu Chenhui becomes a secondary concern.

Having realized this, Ying Zhao's mood lightened significantly. Standing up, he approached the mirror to get a glimpse of his new appearance in this lifetime.

Yet, when he saw the face reflected back at him, he was taken aback. It was astonishing how similar he looked in this world to his original form.

Perhaps influenced by the original protagonist's demeanor, there was an added touch of softness to his features. Already blessed with handsome looks, this added softness gave him an exotic charm.

Observing the transformed aura in the mirror, Ying Zhao smirked. Still, seeing a face so similar to his own was somewhat comforting.

With such captivating looks, the original protagonist, due to his introverted nature, often kept his head down, going unnoticed.

However, setting aside reality, this Ying Zixi seemed much more relaxed in the game. Especially as the leader of the "Dream Builder" guild, he seemed very much at ease in his familiar territory.

Considering that this game was developed by the original protagonist and his team, he was privy to many in-game tricks unknown to others.

While he might not match the prodigious combat prowess of the male lead, he still had a dedicated following in "Journey". It's no wonder the original protagonist wished to live out his life in the game.

Gazing at the scattered bottles around him, Ying Zhao recalled the timeline of his arrival. It was right after the original protagonist found out that He Yue and the drinker had married in the game.

The original protagonist prioritized the game over reality. To him, marrying in the game meant being with someone you truly loved.

In the original storyline, after sobering up, the original protagonist sought out Yue Yingying for an explanation. However, she claimed it was merely for a mission, accused him of misunderstanding her, and left him.

After a considerable effort and presenting her with numerous valuable gifts, He Yue agreed to reconcile. Although he believed her, the original protagonist was still heartbroken.

Particularly since she frequently defended the drinker in her words. This led the original protagonist into a spiral of despair, drowning his sorrows with alcohol daily. Without the game, he needed sleeping pills to drift off.

This eventually led to work negligence, resulting in a harsh scolding from his manager. But now with Ying Zhao taking his place, such events would be avoided.

Glancing at the clock, it was just past nine in the evening. He could familiarize himself with the game and perhaps even seek out his lover.

However, just as Ying Zhao was about to use the mental connector on his temple, intending to enter the game,

He suddenly heard an eager voice from Xiaobai in his mindscape, saying, "Host, since this is a virtual world, I can also enter the game as a player!"

Realizing what Xiaobai meant, Ying Zhao chuckled, "That's perfect! Xiaobai, let's see you as a player in 'Journey'. We've never teamed up before."

Hearing Ying Zhao's words, Xiaobai felt a longing. Although he had once become human during a forced growth period, that was a long time ago.

Yet, he couldn't help but hesitate internally, cautioning Ying Zhao, "But host, if I were to become a player, the system would activate its autopilot. I wouldn't be able to reside within the sea of consciousness to receive your commands."

Hearing this, Ying Zhao simply shook his head. Xiao Bai had already sacrificed so much for him, all for a minor realm. Ying Zhao genuinely considered Xiao Bai as a partner and naturally hoped he could have a life of his own.

Understanding Ying Zhao's sentiments, Xiao Bai felt deeply moved. Thus, a man and his system together ventured into "Journey."

One has to admit, the technology of the future is impressive. In a blink, Ying Zhao felt his consciousness being pulled away. Upon awakening, he found himself standing in the guild hall.

People bustled about, creating an atmosphere of lively commotion. The Dream Builder, an independent guild, seemed even more prosperous than he had imagined.

Quite a number of players greeted him. Ying Zixi, the guild leader, seemed to be doing an exceptional job.

Effortlessly pulling up his control panel, Ying Zhao got a clearer view of the avatar set up by the previous user, essentially his current appearance.
