Chapter 223 Playing Games within Games

"But......"

Feiying nervously grasped the corner of Taoyao's clothes, her voice trembling:

"What if, what if the game fails? Shiloh said that such a huge investment will make you..."

She didn't dare to say the word "bankruptcy", but she couldn't calm down her inner worries.

According to Shiloh, as long as Taoyao abandons this game project, its current assets will be sufficient to maintain the normal operation of other game businesses.

Several billion in funds, although not as much as before.

But at least it can ensure the normal operation of the company.

But if you continue to invest in "Leprechaun Journey", it means taking huge risks.

The initial investment of 2 billion is just the beginning, and more funds will be needed in the future.

If it is really as Shiloh said, tens of billions of dollars will have to be invested in the future, then the risk will be too great.

This was too much for Feiying.

She didn't want to see Taoyao lose everything because of her, and she didn't want to be the culprit for Taoyao's bankruptcy.

"And...and this is a game with me as the protagonist. What if the players don't like it?"

Feiying's voice became smaller and smaller:

"If sales are not good, won't all this huge investment be wasted?"

She lowered her head, not daring to look into Taoyao's eyes:

"So I think it's better to forget it. Don't make such a risky investment because of me."

"I...I don't really need a game made just for me..."

Tao Yao looked at Feiying's panic, still with a sweet smile on her face.

She reached out and gently stroked Feiying's hair, her movements as gentle as if she was comforting a frightened kitten.

Her eyes were full of doting, and her tone was so gentle that it seemed as if she was coaxing a frightened little animal:

"How could it fail? How could a game with Feiying as the protagonist fail?"

"I believe in Feiying very much, so Feiying should also believe in herself more. Is that okay?"

"You know what? From the moment I decided to develop this game, I had already thought of a lot of interesting settings."

“The game will have your favorite elements and the fantasy world you long for.”

“I believe the players will love your story.”

Faced with Taoyao's gentle trust, Feiying felt mixed emotions.

From the time we met until now, Taoyao seems to always be like this, full of confidence in herself, as if she is really that outstanding.

No matter what difficulties she encounters, she always chooses to believe in herself without hesitation and is willing to give everything for herself.

But in fact, Feiying has no confidence in herself at all.

This is a game in which you are the protagonist!

Although she doesn't know much about the gaming industry, she knows that a bad protagonist can make the entire game boring.

If the game's sales really tanked because of me as the protagonist, wouldn't that be a betrayal of Taoyao's trust?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but start to worry.

After all, with such a huge investment, can we really guarantee that it won’t go bankrupt?

Tens of billions!

Although she didn't know what that meant.

But this number is scary to hear anyway.

That was definitely an astronomical figure that she couldn't even imagine.

If the project really failed because of her, she would never forgive herself in her life.

What's more, according to Shiloh, Taoyao has given up many better opportunities for this project.

Not only did it lose the cooperation with the End Group, but other game projects also fell through.

These are all losses caused by one's own existence.

If this game developed specifically for myself also fails.

It pained her just to think about it.

"Taoyao..."

Feiying lowered her head, twisting her fingers together unconsciously, her voice full of hesitation and uneasiness.

"Do we really have to make this game? Can't we discuss it further?"

"Or choose another project and don't invest so much money..."

Tao Yao took the initiative to grab Feiying's hand. The warmth from her palm made Feiying's heart beat faster.

Tao Yao's eyes were extremely serious, and her tone was firm and unquestionable:

"Of course. Now that you've made your decision, you must not regret it."

"I believe in Feiying, so Feiying has to believe in me too."

"After all, with such a lovely Feiying as the protagonist, our game will definitely be a success in the end!"

Feiying originally wanted to continue persuading, wondering what reason she could use to make Taoyao give up this risky decision.

Shiloh was right, this project was too risky.

If we continue to invest like this, the consequences will be disastrous.

But when she saw Tao Yao's beautiful eyes that were shining with determination, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Those eyes were full of confidence in himself, as if as long as he was there, all difficulties would not be a problem.

Taoyao trusts me so much, how can I let her down?

And judging from Taoyao's current attitude, this game project seems to be something Taoyao is determined to win.

No matter how much I persuade her, I'm afraid I won't be able to change her determination.

Thinking of this, Feiying felt a warm current in her heart and she felt a little more courageous.

She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth:

"Okay! If Taoyao needs my help at that time, just let me know. No matter what you want me to do, I will do my best to cooperate!"

"Really?" Tao Yao smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling. "As long as Feiying can be of use, anything is possible? Whatever your request is, will you agree?"

Feiying always felt that Taoyao's tone was a little strange, and the way he spoke also gave her a bad feeling.

But at this moment, she didn't have time to think about it anymore, she just nodded slightly:

"Well, anything is fine! As long as Taoyao asks, I will do my best."

"So......"

Tao Yao reached out and gently stroked Feiying's long hair, then spoke softly:

"What Feiying needs to do now is to have a good sleep."

"Get some rest and come with me to the company tomorrow to try out the game demo."

Her tone became gentler:

"Making yourself happy is the best help you can give me, Feiying. Apart from that, Feiying doesn't need to do anything else."

"Leave the game matters to me, and Feiying will just be responsible for experiencing the fun of the game."

"Ah? Just like that?" Feiying was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

From what Taoyao said, it seems that I only need to be responsible for playing games?

Isn't this too simple?

I clearly said I would help, but why do I feel like I am of no use?

"Of course."

Taoyao smiled even more brightly and stretched out her hand to pinch Feiying's cheek.

"My dear Feiying, all you need to do is be a pillow princess and wait for the victory."

"It doesn't matter whether the game is successful or not. What matters is that I can make Feiying happy."

As she spoke, she looked up at the dark night outside the window, and her tone became lighter:

"Okay, it's not even daybreak yet, let's go to bed first."

"I have to get up early to go to the company tomorrow."

"..."

……

The sunlight gently poured into the room through the gauze curtains, causing Feiying to slowly open her eyes.

The comfort brought by the soft bed made her dazed for a moment, and then she gradually regained consciousness.

She looked around as usual, but found that Taoyao had disappeared.

His consciousness, which was still a little hazy, suddenly became clear.

Feiying sat up suddenly, and an inexplicable panic surged in her heart.

Taoyao was clearly by his side last night, but now he can't find her.

This realization made Feiying hurriedly put on her pajamas, pushed open the door and rushed out, eagerly looking for Taoyao.

Ever since that incident, Feiying always felt extremely terrified at the feeling of not being able to find Taoyao.

Even though I know Taoyao is most likely in this house now.

But as long as I can't see her, that uneasy feeling will spread uncontrollably.

Fear wrapped around her heart like a vine, making her breathing quicken.

She walked quickly down the corridor, stopping to examine each room she passed.

Afraid of missing any place where Taoyao might appear.

This anxious search continued until she arrived at the living room, where she finally saw the familiar figure.

Taoyao was wearing a cute apron and busy in the open kitchen.

Her long pink hair fluttered gently with her movements, exuding a warm atmosphere.

She handled the ingredients attentively, her movements graceful and skillful, as if every detail had been carefully designed.

In the living room, Baiying, Violet, Forget-me-not and other girls had woken up and were sitting on the sofa chatting.

The way they chatted and laughed filled the whole space with a warm atmosphere.

Baiying spotted Feiying standing at the door at a glance and said teasingly with a smile:

"Hey, isn't this our little lazy bug? Why did you get up just now?"

Feiying's face turned slightly red, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

I could only lower my head and walk silently to the sofa and sit down.

"Good morning, Mama Feiying!"

The little forget-me-not blinked its big eyes and greeted you sweetly.

She tilted her head to examine Feiying's expression and continued:

"Mom Taoyao got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast."

"She said she wanted to give Feiying's mother a surprise, so we have to wait a little longer."

"Feiying's mother can go wash up first. New toiletries have been prepared."

After confirming that Taoyao really did not leave, Feiying's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

She took a deep breath and nodded to the little forget-me-not:

"Well, good morning. I'll go wash up first."

After a while, when Feiying sat back on the sofa, Baiying couldn't help but tease again:

"Look at Taoyao, she can handle both the living room and the kitchen."

"She is so beautiful and gentle when she cooks. She is simply the perfect wife."

"Feiying, Feiying, I am so envious of you for finding such a good girl."

Not long after, Taoyao asked Xiluo to bring the carefully prepared breakfast to the table one by one.

Every dish is presented delicately and with great care.

From the main course to the side dishes, from the soup to the snacks, everything is delicious and tasty.

The meal time always goes by so quickly, and soon it’s time to set off amidst laughter and joy.

After everyone finished breakfast, Baiying smiled at Feiying and said:

"Then you should just follow Taoyao obediently during this period. Remember to cooperate with her and don't let her down."

Just like that, Feiying was handed over to Taoyao by her sister Baiying like a puppet.

She was still in a daze until she sat in the back seat of the car and felt the leather seat.
